ISRAEL RESCUES 4 HOSTAGES AT A PRICE

CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JUNE 11, 2024

     THE DRAMATIC RESCUE OF FOUR ISRAELI HOSTAGES HELD BY HAMAS IN GAZA IS ANOTHER TRIBUTE TO A WELL-MANAGED MILITARY AND NATION THAT REGARDS LIFE WHILE HAMAS AND OTHERS LOVE DEATH.

     PRESIDENT BIDEN CONGRATULATED THE ISRAELIS, ONE OF WHOM – A FATHER OF TWO – WAS KILLED IN THE OPERATION. THE MEDIA PLAYED UP THE REPORT BY HAMAS CRONIES THAT 274 SO-CALLED PALESTINIANS WERE KILLED. THERE IS NO WAY TO CONFIRM THAT, SO THE MEDIA DON’T BOTHER.

     SOMETHING ELSE THE MEDIA PLAY DOWN: THE HOSTAGE RESCUERS WERE ENGAGED WITH HAMAS TERRORISTS – NOT MILITANTS AS THEY LIKE TO SAY – BUT TERRORISTS IN A FIREFIGHT. WHAT WERE THE ISRAELIS SUPPOSED TO DO – NOT SHOOT BACK IN SELF DEFENSE?

     THIS ENTIRE SCENARIO HAS BEEN FLIPPED BY THE MEDIA, EUROPEANS AND LIBERAL AMERICANS SINCE SHORTLY AFTER LAST OCTOBER’S MASSACRE OF ISRAELIS AND THE TAKING OF HOSTAGES BY HAMAS.

     ANISEMITES ALWAYS DO THIS BECAUSE THEY BLAME THE JEWS FOR EVERYTHING, EVEN FOR EXISTING.

     DESPITE THE SUCCESS OF THE OPERATION, PRESIDENT BIDEN IS STILL CALLING FOR A CEASE FIRE, WHICH WOULD PRESERVE A REMNANT OF HAMAS AND ALLOW IT TO GROW BACK AND KILL AND KIDNAP MORE ISRAELIS. HE IS MAKING A CYNCICAL PLOY FOR MUSLIM VOTES. I’M CAL THOMAS.
