On June 8th, Israeli forces conducted a daring rescue of four hostages held by Hamas in Gaza. The terrorists hid their captives inside two homes smack in the middle of a civilian neighborhood inhabited by Palestinian families.
Firefights ensued as Hamas fighters shot at the rescuers and the rescued hostages. A leader of the rescue mission lost his life trying to save the innocent Israeli civilians. Scores of Gazans caught in the crossfire were killed but it is unknown how many were civilian bystanders as opposed to the terrorists trying to stop the rescue. The Hamas-run Gazan Health Ministry’s claim that at least 274 Palestinians died during the rescue operation exaggerates, as usual, the Palestinian death toll to score propaganda points meant to sway the international community and liberal media further against Israel.
From the United Nations to anti-Israel media outlets, Israel is blamed for the loss of Palestinian civilian lives during the rescue operation. Israel’s critics claim that the deaths could have been avoided if the Jewish state had only stuck to negotiating with Hamas and made more concessions to secure the release of the hostages.
However, it was Hamas’ decision to seize the hostages in the first place and then imprison them in residential buildings and in tunnels constructed under civilian neighborhoods. Some of the hostages were reported to have died in captivity. The four hostages who were rescued lived every day in captivity in fear for their lives. Instead of allowing these four hostages (out of the more than one hundred hostages still in captivity) to go free unharmed, Hamas used heavy fire including rocket-propelled grenades to stop their escape. Fortunately, the terrorists failed and the rescued hostages are reunited with their families and friends.
The terrorists acted with callous indifference to the lives of the Palestinian people residing in the civilian neighborhood from which the four hostages had to be rescued. Moreover, many Palestinian civilians themselves are not so innocent. As Robert Spencer noted in his June 11th Frontpage article, “it is clear that a good many of those ‘civilians’ played an active role in the holding of the hostages.” Indeed, one such “civilian” killed during the rescue operation was a so-called “journalist” for the Palestine Chronicle and Al Jazeera who supported Hamas and housed three of the rescued hostages.
It is preposterous to expect Israel to just rely on negotiating with the same terrorist group that has vowed to annihilate the Jewish state and kill as many Jews as possible. The use of pinpointed military force to free some hostages while they are still alive is a reasonable option that is fully consistent with international law.
Hamas and their fellow terrorists are the genocidaires to whom protesters who are sincerely concerned about the mounting number of civilian deaths in Gaza should direct their anger. All Hamas needs to do to end the war is to release all the remaining hostages and agree to the verifiable dismantling of its military capabilities that threaten the security of the Israeli people. But Hamas’ military leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, wants to fight Israel to the finish instead if he does not get his way.
“We have the Israelis right where we want them,” Sinwar said in one of his messages to other Hamas leaders, as quoted by the Wall Street Journal. In another message, Sinwar characterized Palestinian civilian deaths as “necessary sacrifices.” Sinwar views the war with Israel in apocalyptic terms, comparing it to a seventh-century battle in Karbala, Iraq in which the grandson of Muhammad was killed.
“We have to move forward on the same path we started,” Sinwar reportedly wrote. “Or let it be a new Karbala.”
Sinwar demands that Israel completely and unconditionally withdraw all its forces from Gaza. He is counting on the rising number of civilian deaths in Gaza to increase the pressure on Israel from the Biden administration and the international community at large to end the war on Hamas’ terms.
Recall that Israel had unilaterally withdrawn all Israelis from Gaza back in 2005, only to face relentless attacks by Hamas terrorists against Israel’s citizens that culminated in the horrific massacres, rapes, and kidnappings on October 7th. Israel would be committing national suicide if it agreed to leave Sinwar’s terrorist organization intact to conduct more genocidal attacks against Israeli civilians that will be worse than the horrors of October 7th.
The death of the Jewish state is precisely what the pro-Hamas agitators chanting “from the river to the sea” are demanding.
On June 8th, thousands of depraved pro-Hamas agitators encircled the White House, maliciously accusing Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians civilians in Gaza with arms provided by the United States. Banners were displayed calling for jihad and martyrdom. Some agitators threw objects at a National Park Service ranger and defaced statues on federal grounds. Mob participants suffered no consequences for their unlawful behavior.
Two days later, a mob of Hamas supporters chanting “intifada revolution” took to the streets in lower Manhattan waving a banner that proclaimed, “Long Live October 7.” These cheerleaders for the ruthless terrorists, some carrying Hamas and Hezbollah flags, were targeting an exhibit honoring the defenseless young people attending a music festival for peace who were viciously attacked on October 7th. Some in the mob clashed with the police.
One of the virulently anti-Semitic agitators told Jews attending the exhibit that he wished “Hitler was still here – he woulda wiped you all out.”
The pro-Hamas mobs’ lust for Jewish blood is pure evil. They celebrate their terrorist ‘heroes’ for slaughtering innocent civilians in Israel, ranging from babies to the elderly. Hamas’ shills insist that the terrorists can do no wrong. They view Israel and the United States as the oppressors, the Palestinians as the oppressed victims, and the terrorist murderers as brave “resistance” fighters. Their blood libel includes the charge that the blood of the Palestinian civilians killed or injured during the war in Gaza that Hamas started is entirely on the hands of Israel and its supporters.
It makes no difference to these useful idiots that Hamas uses Palestinian civilians in Gaza as human shields and as pawns for the terrorists’ propaganda purposes. The blood of the Palestinian civilians killed or wounded during the Gaza war and of the civilians the terrorists murdered in Israel on October 7th is on the hands of Yahya Sinwar and the terrorist killers he commands. The pro-Hamas mobs who cheer on all this mayhem and make excuses for the terrorists are guilty as well for aiding and abetting the terrorists’ monstrous acts.

”All Hamas needs to do to end the war is to release all the remaining hostages and agree to the verifiable dismantling of its military capabilities that threaten the security of the Israeli people. ”
That would end the war but then there is this:
1. The Israeli government is ruled by three fanatical parties.Two of the are RELIGIOUS parties.One headed by SMOTRICH ,minister of finance,the other by BEN GVIR,head of national security.
Both are crazy fanatics who want to destroy Al-Aqsa Mosque,third most holy in Islam and replace it with a Jewish TEMPLE of JERUSALEM.
As a first step they have sacrificed RED HEIFERS.
2. Both also believe in a GREATER ISRAEL, because of Genesis 15:18:
”In that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying: ‘To your descendants have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates.”
That would include Gaza,the West Bank,
and southern Syria,all of Jordan ( more than 16 MILLION Arabs).Who of course would be denied the right to vote. Smotrich ,on March 19, 2023, at a memorial service in Paris for prominent right-wing Likud activist and Jewish Agency board member Jacques Kupfer, showed a map
of Greater Israel,that included Jordan.
3.Netanyahu had in 2020 announced he would ANNEX the West Bank and in 2023 at a UNITED NATIONS speech held a map that was of ”Israel” and included Gaza and the West Bank.
dartson says
Sounds like a good plan to drive genocidal Muslims back to Aravia 😀
Aslan says
On the contrary, it would make many countries economically sanction Israel,which would destroy its economy.
In 2023 a former Head of the Israeli Defense Force GADI EISENKOT made admissions that confirmed what had formerly been said to be a conspiracy theory. But before:
1. Al-Qaida killed 3,000 Americans. Yet today TURKEY has and protects 30,000 Al-Qaida soldiers. Turkey had joined the US in its war against Syria. An ally of the US.
2.The US financed and armed Al-Qaida in Syria against the Syrian government,a secular one. Al-Qaida changed its name to AL-NUSRA.
ISIS (Islamic State) and Al-Nusra signed a pact in April, 2013,alliance against Syria. Did you know THAT?
So the US was also the ALLY of Islamic State. Biden,Hillary Clinton,Obama and Jake Sullivan ( today National Security advisor to Biden). were cooperating with Al-Qaida and ISIS.
3. HEZBOLLAH is SHIA, they are NOT interested in having a world caliphate since it goes against their religious ideas. Iran is Shia.ISIS and Al-Qaida are for a caliphate.
Would the caliphate include ISRAEL. Yes.
Do you know who esle was fighting in Syria with Al-Qaida and ISIS. It was HAMAS, since they are Sunni and believe in a caliphate. Did you know that?
Hezbollah,Iran and Russia sent soldiers to help the Syrian government against ISIS and Al-Qaida.
4.Obama,Hillary,Sullivan and Biden are GLOBALISTS. The Globalist plan was exposed by GENERAL WESLEY CLARK , former Supreme Commander of NATO.
He exposed the Globalist plan for the Middle East in his MEMOIRS, that
less than two weeks after Sept. 11, a “senior general” told him, “We’re going to attack Iraq. The decision has basically been made.” Later the same senior general told him,
”Here’s the PAPER from the Office of the SECRETARY of DEFENSE [then Donald RUMSFELD] outlining the strategy. We’re going to take out
seven countries in five years.’
And he named them, starting with Iraq and SYRIA and ending with Iran.”
Clark has said in televised interviews that the list included Lebanon, Libya, Somalia and Sudan.
Aslan says
Back to GADI EISENKOT,until like yesterday he was Head of the War Cabinet in Israel. And about ISIS. Do you know how many WESTERNERS have been killed by ISIS
outside of Syria and Iraq?
100? 300? 500?
No, it was 1,200 killed by suicide bombers. By ISIS and its caliph al-Baghdadi. Allied with Al-Qaida in Syria,announced by the caliph in 2013, at one time ISIS controled 60% of Iraq and 40% of Syria. ISIS was created in 2010.
GADI EISENKOT is the creator of the DAHIYA doctrine (2006) used by the Israeli army.
In the Gaza war his SON has been killed (25 years old) and also his NEPHEW.
And he was Head of the IDF (Israeli Defense Force),its army, under Netanyahu from
2015-2019. Last year 2023 Eisenkot admitted the real nature of OPERATION GOOD NEIGHBOR (2016-2018) (under Netanyahu). To the Sunday Times,and in other interviews.
During that period do you know who CONTROLED the south of Syria?It was Al-Qaida. Operation Good Neighbor gave medical aid to 6,800 Syrians,and 4,000 of them were sent to hospitals inside ISRAEL. When they recovered they went back to Syria.Those 4,000 were AL-QAIDA soldiers who then returned to fight,terrorists. Whose ideology is the destruction of Israel.
Eisenkot also admitted that Israel had sent MONEY and ARMS to Al-Qaida.
And that it had military helped Al-Qaida by AIR STRIKES against anti-ISIS and anti-Al-Qaida soldiers in Syria. The Syrian government says it was 1,000. Eisenkot first said 200,then 400.
How many civilians have been killed in Syria called the ”Syrian Civil War”? According to the UN: 306,000. By a war where the US gave arms and money to terrorists,helped by Qatar,Saudi Arabia,Turkey,Israel. Evil incarnate.

You’re on top of things like no other… good job…
However… the Luciferian Globalist government of America supports Sunni Islam… which means… they are against Shiite Iran…
Also… The Shia do look for a leader… it’s called the 12th Iman… the Mahdi…
Except… the Mahdi must be a blood descendant of mushammad…
The Sunni expect a Caliph… the leader of the Caliphate… the Ummah… the body of muslims…
Shiite = Mahdi
Sunni = Caliphate
Saddam and Ghadaffi were eliminated because of their Pan Arab and Pan African ideologies… they were setting themselves up as Caliphs… and needed to be killed…
Assad in Syria was Shiite… and America was funneling weapons to ISIS in Syria…through Benghazi… <<< Evidence of how America supports the Sunni…
Keep up the good work!
Aslan says
Thanks and to all best to hear from all sides. In LIBYA ( in 2011 the same year they began the war in Syria ) the war criminals called Hillary Clinton,Obama, Biden and Jake Sullivan,those Globalists, plus NATO,
also gave aid to AL-QAIDA and like-minded groups to overthrow Kaddafi.
In a WIKILEAKS leak( 3,000 Hillary emails ) emails showed that Libya’s plan to create a GOLD BACKED currency,backed by 143 tons of Libyan gold,and 143 tons of Libyan silver ,
for the more than 50 African nations,a common African currency for all, to
replace the dollar for use among Africans was the motive for NATO’s intervention. The emails also tell us about:
admissions of rebel war crimes,
special ops trainers inside Libya from NEARLY the START of protests,
Al Qaida embedded in the U.S. backed opposition,
Western nations wanting access to Libyan oil,
and the VIAGRA MASS RAPE claim to be false but all the same U.S. Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice made a formal charge against Libya in front of the UN Security Council claiming otherwise.
Before 2011 Libya was the MOST advanced country in Africa,its people never emigrated, they lived well. And in 2003 Kaddafi admitted to having a secret NUCLEAR arms program and agreed to give it up. He dismantled it.
That and much more is why the Globalists have ASSANGE in prison,not because he committed a crime but because he exposed their crimes.

You’re describing that Israeli mini series, “Dig,” not reality.
And the Al Aksa mosque should definitely be razed. It’s an abomination, just as all of Islam is.

Good on them.
I hope they do it!

Logan Matthew Teague says
Meh. I just remember a line from a (fictional) book I read, in which the narrator said ‘The only way to achieve peace in the Middle East would be to kill every man, woman, and child in it. Just end all the feuds and disputes right there, and repopulate the land with new people. Now I’m not ADVOCATING for this, mind you-I’m just saying that everyone who claims to want peace in the Middle East is wasting their time. Because everyone over there-Jew, Muslim, Christian, other-ALL of them are crazy ragheads. The place just does that to people.’

And it’s only gonna get worse as the years pass… the day will come when Christians and Jews will be killed across this world. When mushammad’s green flag is raised above his tomb as the signal to muslims to go out and kill…
Why does the world hate the Jewish so much?
“All the Zionists raise their hands!” <<< Exclaimed the subway rider who supports Hamas…
Are you a Christian Zionist? Who believes you worship the fake god allah too?
If you are… you're stupid !

“Yahya Sinwar, wants to fight Israel to the finish instead if he does not get his way.”
Is he going to do that personally? Of course not. He’s a coward. Fuck, I’d like to beat his ass.

Lol, get in line!!!

The Palestinian Playbook:
1. Kill, rape, kidnap and burn alive as many Jewish men, women and children in Israel as possible whenever possible.
2. Celebrate in the streets.
3. Promise that attacks will not stop until all 7 million Jews in Israel are dead.
4. Hide in tunnels beneath Palestinian women and children.
5. Show dead and suffering Palestinian women and children to the Washington Post, the New York Times and CNN.
6. Whine to the Washington Post, the New York Times and CNN about Collective Punishment, Disproportionate Responses and Israeli War Crimes and the dead and suffering Palestinian women and children.
7. Demand an Immediate Ceasefire.
8. Get Europe and the USA to demand an immediate Ceasefire.
9. Get Politically Correct Jews, university students, the World Press and politicians to join in the demand for an immediate Ceasefire.
10. Force Israel to accept an immediate Ceasefire.
11. Repeat 1-10.
Works every time.
Roark says
After October 7th, we must all stop using the words, Palestinian and Palestine. There are no such people or place. These words were concocted by the KGB as psychological operations weapons of war.
When these words are used by the enemy, they use them as a replacement for Jews and Israel. They have no intention of creating a state alongside Israel, but instead of Israel. They couldn’t make their intentions more clear.
Every time that you use these words, you are unintentionally falling into the enemy’s psychological ploy and doing the same. From the river to the sea is what they mean when they say: “Palestine will be free.”
There is no such country or place. It is a psychological construct that is being used to destroy Israel. Even Israeli government officials fall into this trap and negate themselves by doing so.
Let us agree to call them what they really are from now on: ARABS.
Don’t use the enemy’s lexicon to further their ends. Watch how powerful it is when you stop using those words anymore. Call them Arabs of Gazan or Arabs of Judea and Samaria.
The enemy wins if you fall into their traps. Remember, there were no Israelis until the creation of Israel. Where is Palestine? Why does a non-existent country have a flag?
Ponder this.
Eva says
Or fakestinians.
sumsrent says
And you’re falling into your own “psychological ploy”… and traps…
They are NOT Arabs !!! They are satanic worshiping muslims…
An Arab could be a Christian…
Eva says
Israel should never have negotiated with this terrorist filth in the first place.
They should have gone in full-bore after the very first attack, decades ago.
And they should have listened to Rabbi Kahane.
sumsrent says
Yeah… many don’t realize that when the National Homeland for the Jews was established in Israel in 1922… right after World War One…
Israel then negotiated with this terrorist filth by giving away all of the Jordan for peace… which never happened…
They call these wars… the Arab/Israeli wars… but they aren’t anything of the sort… it’s all deceiving… they are Islamist/Israeli Wars…
The real issue everyone needs to ask is…
Why does the masses hate the Jews?
And why are the masses of Americans supporting these Fake Palestinians in Gaza?
See… America has been always backstabbing Israel…
