For anyone who has watched or binged, the playbook for the rescue mission was straight out of a few episodes on a well known Israeli series on Netflix. The fact that the guard was a Hamas supporter if niot an Al Zareera writer is irrelevant as is the issue of civilian casualties which is a fact of life of warfare sincee ancient times

Yes, when I heard news of this hostage rescue, I thought of Fauda. Those brave IDF soldiers likely contributed to a yet to be released, season 5 episode. The Free Press had a great article published today by Jessica Kasmer-Jacobs, who was on the beach @ Tel Aviv when the news broke, and spontaneous celebrations were witnessed. God bless Israel.

The rescue of the 4 hostages was the most indescribably wonderful news to hear in a very long time.

The heroism and sacrifice of those Israeli police and soldiers in that effort is beyond extraordinary and should be honored with the highest of praise and commendations for valor on the battlefield.

The fact that the US administration, Jake Sullivan in particular, took such an historic moment to decry the deaths of Palestinians killed in the ensuing firefight rather than the return of the hostages and the heroics of those who saved them, is par for their course and downright despicable.

No one - not a single one of those Palestinians killed in that battle, or in the entire course of this war would have died if Hamas hadn’t started it on October 7th, taken the hostages in the first place, or surrendered months ago. The entire onus and horrors of this war lay entirely at their feet.

Yes. The WSJ’s front pages are hopelessly biased against Israel with a barrage of visuals depicting one sided devastation. The Opinion page editors who are intellectually honest with a tradition of conservatism must be very distressed about this sabotaging and obvious political bias of the news division.

Any magazine that honors both Ted Cruz and John Letterman is a magazine I want to read. Thanks for creating a place where thinking, rational people can coexist and hopefully rebuild a country.
