It portrays the rescue effort as a reflection of the \u2064ongoing conflict over\u200c the\u2064 past 70\u200b years\u2062 between Israelis\u200b and Palestinians. The article highlights that \u200cthe political\u200d entity Hamas, which \u2064governs Gaza\u200c and is supported by a significant portion of the Palestinian population, initiated a conflict by attacking and kidnapping \u2063Israelis attending a music festival. The hostages were then used as human shields within <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/antony-blinken-says-us-working-overtime-to-verify-reports-of-americans-dead-in-israel\/\" title=\"Antony Blinken assures US is diligently verifying reports of Americans deceased in Israel.\">densely populated \u2063areas<\/a>\u2064 in Gaza, complicating rescue \u200befforts.<\/p>\n<p>Critics question the value of the operation, especially\u2064 in light of the 200-plus Arab casualties reported\u2063 during the rescue. The article argues that Israel is uniquely\u200c burdened \u200cwith the protection of\u2062 both its\u2064 citizens and its \u200benemies, emphasizing the tragic but necessary nature of \u2063its actions in hostage situations. It claims the\u2062 establishment media often distorts casualty figures and fails to distinguish between civilians\u200d and combatants. responsibility for the casualties and the situation is laid \u2062at\u200b the feet of\u200c Hamas and those supporting\u2062 it within Gaza.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-content\">\n<p>The reaction to the rescue of four Israeli hostages from Gaza is a microcosm of the past 70 years of this conflict. Every time Palestinians pay the price for acting out in some horrific, irrational, self-destructive, violent way, their defenders want to rewind history to a more convenient moment \u2014 this time to Oct. 6, 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry, that\u2019s not how life works. Hamas, the chosen political entity of Gaza \u2014 the overwhelming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fdd.org\/analysis\/2024\/03\/22\/poll-hamas-remains-popular-among-palestinians\/#:~:text=Fifty%2Dnine%20percent%20of%20all,Palestinians%2026%20to%2022%20percent.\">choice<\/a> of Palestinian civilians \u2014 launched this war by massacring, sexually torturing, and kidnapping Israelis whose only sin was attending a music festival. Palestinians took hundreds of these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/congress-moves-to-strong-arm-biden-impose-houthi-sanctions-removed-by-admin\/\" title=\"Congress Moves To Strong-Arm Biden, Impose Houthi Sanctions Removed by Admin\">hostages back<\/a> to the Gaza Strip \u2014 a place Arabs\u00a0have had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/is-turkeys-future-in-nato-an-asset-or-liability\/\" title=\"Is Turkey\u2019s Future in NATO an Asset or Liability?\">political autonomy<\/a> for over nearly 20 years \u2014 and held them in the middle of densely populated areas hoping to dissuade Israel from liberating them, or, if it did, <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/05\/14\/how-the-media-and-democrats-helped-create-the-israeli-genocide-lie\/\">to create as many martyrs as possible<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2-long d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-660716669\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1379703300879-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-37e3f41a8741b3996c69eac5b43dffc4 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-37e3f41a8741b3996c69eac5b43dffc4\"><\/div>\n<p>Critics of Israel now ask the usual dishonest question: Are four lives worth the alleged 200-plus Arabs that were lost rescuing them?<\/p>\n<p>Israel is the only nation on earth that is tasked with protecting its own people and its enemies. Every innocent lost life is, of course, a tragedy. But if you don\u2019t want to be placed in harm\u2019s way, don\u2019t hold hostages in your homes and neighborhoods, and don\u2019t cheer and support a government that puts your life in constant danger for a lost cause. This is the reality of the world.<\/p>\n<p>Now, if <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/world\/middle-east\/how-israel-pulled-off-a-high-risk-hostage-rescue-f2008e41\">reports<\/a> are correct, Hamas \u2014 and perhaps \u201ccivilians\u201d (it\u2019s difficult to tell because terrorists are often dressed as noncombatants) \u2014 opened fire on the rescuers. The Israelis fired back, as they should. Whatever the specifics, every lost life is Hamas\u2019 fault.<\/p>\n<p>But, as always, it also needs to be stressed that the casualty numbers that are endlessly repeated by the establishment media <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tabletmag.com\/sections\/news\/articles\/how-gaza-health-ministry-fakes-casualty-numbers\">are fiction<\/a> \u2014 as everyone in those newsrooms is surely aware. So, we must assume outlets like <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/philipaklein\/status\/1799803619711099126\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The\u00a0Washington Post<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/bonchieredstate\/status\/1800131834858394069\">CNN<\/a> \u2014 which also detestably contends that the hostages had been \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AvivaKlompas\/status\/1799444052577771666\">released<\/a>\u201d \u2014 are fellow travelers. One BBC interviewer even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/bbc-anchor-israeli-forces-palestinians-ahead-hostage-rescue-mission-defeats-purpose\">asked<\/a> an IDF spokesman if Israel had warned Palestinians of their sting operation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-e75124180bc7e223452b503700a24eef fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-6\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-e75124180bc7e223452b503700a24eef\"><\/div>\n<p>Then again, even if there were over 200 dead, it is also surely the case that many of the dead were members of Hamas or holding hostages of their own volition or helping those holding hostages. Avoid doing so if you value your life.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cHealth Ministry\u201d makes no distinction between terrorists and civilians, and in this case there might be little difference. Among those holding the Israelis hostage in their homes in Nuseirat, for instance, were a \u201cjournalist\u201d (who apparently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.israelhayom.com\/2024\/06\/09\/idf-confirms-al-jazeeras-al-jamal-held-3-of-rescued-captives\/\">worked<\/a> for Al Jazeera and the U.S.-based Palestine Chronicle, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit) and a \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jns.org\/journalist-doctor-held-israelis-hostage-in-gaza\/\">doctor<\/a>.\u201d The entire neighborhood was ostensibly under UN control. We already know that UN <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/01\/30\/if-the-united-nations-were-a-country-israel-would-have-to-declare-war-on-it\/\">workers<\/a> had likely participated in the Oct. 7 kidnappings and UNRWA schools are <a href=\"https:\/\/allisrael.com\/day-245-idf-reveals-another-strike-on-unrwa-school-containing-a-hamas-compound\">used<\/a> by Hamas bases of operation.<\/p>\n<p>Even now, there\u2019s a (terrible) ceasefire deal on the table being pushed by Joe Biden (still chumming for antisemitic votes) that Hamas continues to reject. Would we not expect the United States to act the same way as Israel if some homicidal cult had our people?<\/p>\n<p>In the end, of course, this could all end today if the hostages were returned and Hamas would unconditionally surrender. Israel haters, who fashion themselves peaceniks, will blame everyone \u2014 Netanyahu, Biden, colonialism, racism, etc., etc. \u2014 but the Islamists who are the cause of this war.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-c201b33ac887431073f816311de2b311 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-10\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-c201b33ac887431073f816311de2b311\"><\/div>\n<p>Then again, the entire conflict could end if the Palestinians would stop turning to nihilistic theocrats to lead them and accept Israel\u2019s existence.  <\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-1e27486bc5990205cfd54b2e84df6d01 fdrlst__b89e9-after-post-content\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-1e27486bc5990205cfd54b2e84df6d01\"><\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">    \t\t\t\t\t   \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The rescue of four Israeli hostages from Gaza reflects 70 years of conflict dynamics.
