Israelis never gave up on finding Ran Gvili and bringing him home, even our fallen who's bodies were kidnapped and held to ransom, checking cemeteries and morgues to bring home every one of our people.

I've had messages from abroad along the lines of, "well, that means it's all over now." If only, the hostages dead and alive are home, but those who are alive have a lifetime of therapy ahead of them, both to cure the physical damage of abuse, torture and starvation, and the psychological trauma of what was done to them. The dead can now all be buried, but they leave behind gaping holes in families shattered not only by their loss, but by the endless torture of the mind games Hamas put them through during their loved ones' captivity, were they dead or alive, would they ever see them, phone calls from Hamas and twisted videos.

That 250 hostages are now one way or another home doesn't change the evil of what Hamas did, or the way their supporters, including huge numbers in the West, have gloried in Hamas' atrocities, laughed at the hostages and their families and reveled in their suffering.
