[Order David Horowitz’s new book, America Betrayed, HERE.]
In a daring raid on Saturday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Israel Police, and Israel Security Agency (ISA) rescued four hostages who had been in the clutches of Hamas terrorists since the barbaric October 7 attacks: Noa Argamani, 25; Almog Meir Jan, 21,; Andrey Kozlov, 27; and Shlomi Ziv, 40. Decent people everywhere rejoiced, while Hamas apologists in the U.S. government and Western media were left rending their garments in mourning for the jihadists and their supporters killed in the raid.
This downer of a New York Times headline captured the disapproving spirit of the media response to the glorious hostage rescue: “Israel Rescues 4 Hostages in Assault That Killed Scores of Gazans.”
The actual number of Palestinian dead is unconfirmed as of this writing; CNN, the most distrusted name in news, reported that the Gaza Ministry of Health, the propaganda organ of Hamas, claims 274 Palestinians were killed and 698 injured – a number you can be sure has been inflated higher than a Chinese spy balloon. The IDF estimated that the number of casualties from the operation was “under 100.”
Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union, U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan contributed to the anti-Israel media narrative by stating that “innocent people were tragically killed in this operation. The exact number we don’t know, but innocent people were killed and that is heartbreaking. That is tragic.”
But how does he know innocent people were killed? Hamas itself does not distinguish between their militant and civilian casualties, and perhaps we shouldn’t either. According to a March poll of Palestinians, 71% of all Palestinians supported Hamas’ decision to attack Israel on October 7; 59% of all Palestinians think Hamas should rule Gaza; and 70% were satisfied with the role Hamas has played during the war. Support for Hamas has increased since the October 7 attacks.
Sullivan went on to point out correctly that Hamas operates in such a way that “puts [civilians] in the crossfire, that holds hostages right in the heart of crowded civilian areas, that puts military and placement that’s right in the heart of crowded civilian areas.” He added that “there is only one answer to stop that from happening going forward: that is a ceasefire and hostage deal that ends the military operations, brings the hostages home and puts us in a position to give the Palestinians and opportunity for a better future for their people.”
On the contrary, ceasefires in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict only ever aid the savage Jew-haters of Hamas, never Israel. The October 7 attacks themselves took place during one of these purported ceasefires. Sullivan and the Biden administration are wrong: the only way to bring about “a better future” for Palestinians and Israelis alike is continued IDF operations that kill enough terrorists and their supporters to break the back of Hamas forever.
On Saturday evening, epically incompetent Vice President Kamala Harris chimed in with an obligatory sadness over the dead Palestinians who were holding Israelis hostage and protecting Hamas militants. She declared at a Democrat Party dinner in Michigan, “Before I begin, I just say a few words about the mourning which I know weighs heavily on all of our hearts…”
She went on to pay lip service to the hostages before continuing to focus on “innocent” Gazans: “Thankfully four of those hostages were reunited with their families tonight. And we mourn all of the innocent lives that have been lost in Gaza, including those tragically killed today.”
What a useless embarrassment she is. A real leader would have stood tall and called for celebration of the hostages’ return and of dead Hamas militants and their supporters.
Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Muslim Brotherhood legacy group posing as a civil rights organization, predictably condemned the Israeli raid, which he called an “horrific massacre” and blamed on Benjamin Netanyahu for “torpedoing” the peace process “so that he can continue the genocide and stay in office.”
In fact, the only genocide being carried out in the Middle East is by Muslims against Jews and Christians, and Awad supports that. You may recall that he stated openly in October that he was “happy” at news of the October 7 terror attacks.
Hollywood weighed in as well, of course, because they can’t turn off their lockstep virtue-signaling long enough to actually learn the truth about an issue – any issue. Australian-born actor Guy Pearce, for example, whom I actually always enjoy watching but won’t anymore, also paid lip service to celebrating the hostages’ return, tweeting on X, “I’m pleased hostages are home, but let’s not be distracted & forget about all the unnecessary Palestinian deaths. We know the IDF could’ve brought all the hostages home months ago & avoided the senseless murder of innocent Palestinian children. But we know their true motivation.”
So, yeah, it’s good and all, but let’s not be distracted by a few Israeli hostages when the real tragedy is the IDF genocide of terrorists. Shut up and act, Guy.
In a darkly ludicrous example of the Western media’s anti-Israel, pro-Hamas slant, BBC anchor Helena Humphrey asked a former IDF spokesperson in a post-raid interview if Israeli forces, who are unique in the history of war in their effort to minimize civilian casualties, would have warned the Palestinians ahead of time so they could seek safety.
“Would there have been a warning to those [Gazan] civilians for them to get out on time?” Humphrey asked Jonathan Conricus in complete seriousness.
“Of course, we can’t anticipate Israel to be warning ahead of a raid to extract or to save hostages because then what the terrorists would do is to kill the hostages, and that would defeat the purpose,” he replied with astonishing equanimity in the face of such stupidity and blatant BBC bias.
Conricus went on to enlighten her:
The Israeli hostages were held and jailed by Palestinian civilians in a Palestinian civilian area, and as regrettable as any loss of life is, I think that we would have to investigate really who are the people who jailed these Israeli civilians for eight months? Why did they do it? What was the role of the surrounding community and the hundreds if not thousands of Palestinians who for sure were aware of the fact that these Israeli hostages were being held in their midst, and why were they complicit with Hamas?
One hundred and twenty Israeli hostages are still being held by Hamas monsters. Forty-three of them have been declared dead, but Hamas won’t release their bodies. For Israel to retrieve those hostages, alive or dead, the pro-Hamas Western media and elites would accept nothing less than zero Palestinian casualties. In fact, for good to prevail over evil, there should be nothing more than zero Hamas survivors.
Follow Mark Tapson at Culture Warrior
Its they ask us to fly Old Glory at Half staff for Hamas tell them to GO POUND SANDand that gose for Biden the Blunder
The line “there should be nothing more than zero Hamas survivors” should come tp pass and yet it would still be only a subset of Yevtushenko’s “When, for all time, is buried and forgotten
The last of antisemites on this earth.”
For what it’s worth:
I’m disappointed with the IDF because the Hamas body count is far too low in my opinion. When you stomp on cockroaches (Hamas) you don’t stop until you crush them ALL.
If they, Hamas, want to behave like dangerous, vicious and savage animals then they should be put down like dangerous, vicious and savage animals posthaste.
I heard on Newsmax and Real America’s Voice that the IDF wiped out at least a hundred Hamas jihadi rodents in the course of their rescue mission. Naturally, the Paleosimians claim it was two hundred and forty seven or some such typical bullshit. All “civilians” of course, to Garner empathy from the leftist retards here in the West. As if any member of Hamas isn’t a civilian or any Gazan isn’t a jihadist terrorist supporting piece of fucking shit. Even the toddlers there are taught to hate Jews and “Kaffir.” There are countless videos of that so it isn’t a “right-wing conspiracy” to notice it.
Gaza isn’t a country by the way, it’s the asshole of Israel.
“We know the IDF could’ve brought all the hostages home months ago & avoided the senseless murder of innocent Palestinian children. But we know their true motivation.”
He KNOWS that islamic cowards would release the hostages, wow a miracle worker.

“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”– Isaiah 5:20
Those who express sympathy for the dead arab terrorists in the Israeli hostage rescue operation are proudly waving their flags proclaiming as loud as possible ” I AM PROUD TO BE AN ANTISEMITE ! ”
Moving on, the arab causalties consist 100% of hamASS arab terrorists and their human shields. Please don’t use the word “civilian”. Thats only for fake news narrative outlets such as the nySLYmmss, CommieNaziNepotism (cnn) and msnbc,
There truly are no civilians there. All are complicit. Without any persuasion by anyone. They hate. They lie. They gang rape to death. Father and son rape together and then kill. They murder and burn and dismember. And then they laugh and eat candy.
Some of them were killed.
Not enough of them, in my opinion. I want them ALL dead.
The more the world mourns, the more I celebrate. ~
When I was a kid, after hearing Japanese Americans describe their detention camps as “concentration camps”, I laughed at them in re ” the Hiroshima Maidens” and pointed out that they sure looked ugly. ~
That’s how I roll.
Won’t you join me? 😉
Just a brief look at what muslims say about martyrdom for jihad being the reason why they are born shows that they see ALL muslims as fighters be they children (Iran in the war with Iraq), women (the ones who tortured to death wounded “enemies”) or the elderly. There are NO muslim innocents anywhere and just because a “friendly” muslim in the west has 8 children do not believe that he does not know why he has them as the jihad of the womb is just as dangerous as any strategy using weapons and far more insidious.
Islam is the disease and muslims are its vectors and worldwide islam is their ONLY aim.
I refuse point blank to feel any sorrow for those muslims living in Gaza who were killed.
I can see this post being “moderated” but it IS the truth.
The US averages 4-10 civilians per combatant killed, which is the second best in the world. Israel averages less than 1 civilian per combatant. When the rest of the world exceeds that level of control they need to shut the f#$k up
Thank you for that little-known information.
Have you noticed how many “celebrities” are degrading themselves to make stupid, silly commercials?? Advertising either pays BIG MONEY or those people are really hurting due to lack of roles due to previously SUCKY movies! I usually AVOID any products those leftists push – maybe those companies need to get the Bud Light treatment!!
Now for the RESCUE!! How could it be in such a CROWDED CIVILIAN AREA that the HOSTAGES were held and no one knew it?? How could a FAMILY hold THREE MEN hostage? Were there usually ARMED terrorists also present? I’m sure those caring, innocent civilians would have assisted the HOSTAGES had they broken free! Yeah!!
The WORLD should be informed that there is indeed a WAR being fought and that Gazans are NOT innocent bystanders and any of them harmed while shielding ARMED terrorists are NOT “collateral damage”! Sure everyone wants a ceasefire, but the ONLY way to achieve that is for the TERRORISTS to SURRENDER and RELEASE ALL HOSTAGES – ALIVE and DEAD! hamass WILL be DESTROYED and the WORLD will be better off with them gone – so will the millions of Gazans!
To hell with all the d*mned Gazans. They assert they love death. OK – give ’em what they love, Israel. In spades. Generously. Don’t stint.
The only lament that I have over the Gazan body count is that it wasn’t much higher – well into the 1,000s.
As for the low-life enablers in the civilian ranks, the ones that survive can get on with their lives SOMEWHERE ELSE.
They gladly elected scum. They gladly supported scum. So it’s their tough shit that their decisions have consequences.
Bibi should try, convict & execute (I prefer slow hanging) all confirmed terrorists, make Egypt an offer they can’t refuse & take in the “civilian” remnants, bulldoze old Gaza to the ground, and make the beachfront real estate available to Israelis & westerners.
For Hamas to claim 274 dead with 698 injured in this IDF hostage rescue mission is admitting just how poorly trained and incompetent their forces actually are. Maybe that’s why the Hamas terrorists have to target unarmed civilians in a sneak attack during a concert.
The number goes up every minute for these cry bullies. It was 80 a few minutes ago. The more the sick media -and I refer to rightwing media too – cries for Hamas collaborating so called civilians, the higher the fake number goes. The public and media keep crying, they keep inflating numbers.
Good point.
Reminds me of agent Maxwell Smart’s would-you-believe routine, in reverse.
“Would you believe 80 dead?”
“Would you believe 150?”
“Would you believe 300?”
My only disappointment is that the IDF didn’t kill over 10,000.
This morning, I turned on CNN and nearly puked. There were comments such as “shocking videos of Palestinians killed and injured during the Israeli raid” And “Hamas spokemen called it a massacre” with no hint of irony by the reporter. God, how evil these bastards are at CNN, MSNBC, ad nauseam.
Why do you bother watching CNN? Why subject your eyes & ears and sensibilities to democrap/Marxist lies, hate mongering and bullsh*t which CNN is notoriously known for?
China’s People’s Daily Online, Tehran Times and Al Jazeera are far more truthful and reliable than CNN.
Actually the number is 200,0000 children and 50,000 Gazan ponies.
What about the goats? You know how much those “people” love their goats. They marry them.
HARBORING, knowing of the hostage’s location, aiding Hamas in any way, ARE NOT INNOCENTS… THEY ARE ACCESSORIES!
Gazans know of the consequences of their use of schools, homes, hospitals, even their sacred, yea right, mosques which are used as weapon depots and hideouts, SO, has any Gazan REVEALED where they are and SANE GAZANS expose them and take matters into their own hands.. YES, SPILLING THEIR OWN BLOOD?
Here is a video of an elderly Gazan woman complaining that Hamas was stealing the aide and that she didn’t care if they killed her! THAT’S HOW THIS WILL END! PEOPLE POWER! Notice the young boys listening to her… they know she’s right and THEY are the ones who can end this!
That’s a woman? I’m more glad thane ever that I don’t live in Gaza territory.
Raid= Good- 4 Evil -0. It’s a win for good people everywhere!
Considering the efforts Israel made to minimize collateral damage in conducing the raid, and the callous way Arabs took cover in the general population in Gaza to attack the rescuers, no rational person can criticize Israel for the death and injury sustained when Israeli air support shot back at the men shooting at the rescue force. Real men do not hide behind a woman’s skirt, but the “brave Hamas” warriors use women and children as armor against the righteous use of force to sustain order and civil society. These subhuman creatures deserve their fate – to find that their false deity has no reward for them when they die, and the eternal damnation awaits them.
the people there know what satanic hamazz is doing stealing aid and using human shields even if the shields are children. IDF is precise in their attacks, and doubtful if any civilians were hurt let alone killed. And if the civilians were injured of killed it was hamazz. F- the main sleaze media and f the so-called celebrities. The celebrities I see are Bibi Netan-Yahoo and President Donald J. Trump. Add to this the IDF. Mossad, and Israeli hostages as will as the Israeli citizens and MAGA citizens!!! As well as YHVH and Yeshua Messiah.
What civilians: Hamas is Gaza and Gaza is Hamas? Every scum in Gaza signed up to compete in the Darwin Awards when they elected Hamas, cheered its terrorist atrocities, helped jail Israeli and other kidnap victims, and otherwise assisted Hamas. No pity! Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Anyone who supports Hamas should go here to read and access the links. One particularly vicious video includes a pregnant Jewish woman, her mouth taped shut to muffle her screams while Hamas cuts her live baby from her womb. I made myself watch it. Share with all your friends who think Hamas has legitimacy:
Yes, the atrocities Hamas committed were worse than the things that Hitler and the Nazis did.
I don’t think that you can compare those horrific and evil things with each other. They are both beyond inhuman.
There is something eerily apocalyptic, even with shades of Armegeddon, coming through in the response of the World.
Including the Biden WH.
Including the “legacy media”
It is the same World that gave us pandemic lockdown hysteria.
The current Axes and Allies global divide is fully united in a truly world response against Israel. Enemies unite in the ancient blood lust of the sacrificial victim that brings the world together.
We are not of this World, those who follow Joshua.to the very depths of hell that is the land of the Canaanites. We follow still.
And we are as numerous as the family of Abrham, like stars in the sky or sand on the beach, those who believe in Biblical prophecy that tells us that this is so..
The children or Abraham stand together. We are here.
Word.
I am not a Jew, except by the heritage of my adopted family, but I solemnly stand by you.

What an ugly family she has!
OUTSTANDING work by ISRAEL
DEATH TO HAMAS. Period
Erase Gaza. Erase the West Bank. Disperse the trans-Jordanians back to Jordan, Syria and Egypt where they came from originally.
May Joe Biden trip on the top step of Air Force One and plummet head first onto the tarmac.
Careful what you wish for – shattering his head might actually improve his mental state.
One of the main objectives of the anti-Israel mob is the demoralization of Jews and Israelis. It doesn’t matter how careful and humane the IDF is in achieving its objectives, the Marxist trained enemies of Israel will find a way to put the entire blame on Israel.
This kind of xenophobic propaganda is a basic form of warfare that can be employed by all the armchair warrior and the Left has been waging it against the civilized world for generations now.
All this can be avoided: Hamas surrenders unconditionally and releases all hostages. What happens next?
1) the “genocide” of Gazan civilians, their suffering, immediately stops. And aid reaches everyone.
2) Hamas leaders are arrested, imprisoned, and given a fair trial. They serve long sentences.
3) Israel rebuilds Gaza into a better society. Better schools, better neighborhoods. Trade re-opens. Terrorism is suppressed.
So, why won’t Hamas leader surrender and make all this good stuff happen? Just give up – for the good of the Gazan people.
Nope. They fight to the last baby carriage. The last residential neighborhood. They will fight till the last Gazan civilian is killed. They are willing to sacrifice anything and everything…except themselves.
Many innocent Japanese and German citizens died during WWII, the same in this war. It is unfortunate, but so are the consequences of corrupt elections. When will democrats for the most part understand that there are evil people in the world, that just being “nice” doesn’t work? Being an old man, so many times I’d like to go back to the Cold War days of the 1950’s…..at time when the Soviet Union knew what would happen if they got out of line….thanks to Ike.
Proverbs 11: 19-21 Whoever is steadfast in righteousness will live, but he who pursues evil will die.
Those of crooked heart are an abomination to the Lord, but those of blameless ways are his delight.
Be assured, an evil person will not go unpunished, but the offspring of the righteous will be delivered.
Thanks for showing the faces of those former hostages, Tapson. They were just names to me until I saw them. Now they’re people. And that Noa Argamani chick is hot. I’m so glad they were all rescued.
Whoever down voted me is a demon who sucks burning dicks in Hell.
I’m sure her captors thought she was hot too. If you’re looking at a picture of a girl who almost certainly just experienced some potentially soul-crushing sexual violence paired with the most horrific experience of her life, then you’re pond scum, plain and simple.
