Former Hamas captive Idan Alexander, a 21-year-old Israeli-American soldier, has announced he will return to the Israeli army to take part in its ongoing genocide on Gaza.

“Next month I will return to Israel and once again wear my [Israeli army] uniform, serving proudly alongside my brothers. My story doesn’t end with survival – it continues with service. Until victory,” Alexander declared at a Friends of the Israel Defence Forces (FIDF) event in the United States earlier this week.

Alexander was freed in May after Hamas said it would release him as a goodwill gesture to advance ceasefire talks and open the way for urgently needed humanitarian aid. Since Hamas’ gesture, the Trump administration has hardened its stance against Palestinians, backing the Israeli onslaught on Gaza and promoting ethnic cleansing.

    Speedrunning to his own death. Not staying he’ll die there, but when the world stops being so fucking docile, we’ll have the Nuremberg trials V2, where people like him should be sent for execution. It’s the biggest mistake we did after WWII; we didn’t execute enough of the Nazis.

    Terrorist scum.

    I’m looking forward to the Hopecore video featuring Idan Alexander’s grave and his weeping mother.
