Ilhan Omar Calls For Day Of Mourning Over Hostages Rescued

 

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Representative Ilhan Omar has called for a National Day of Mourning in light of the news that four Israeli hostages were rescued this morning.

"I am deeply grieved by the tragic rescue of four of our hostages this morning," said Omar, fighting back tears.  "They were taken from us far too soon, after only 245 days in captivity.  [...]

IDF Heroes Rescue Four Israeli Hostages Alive - Including Noa

 

The best news possible is coming out of Israel today.  The IDF rescued four hostages simultaneously in daring daytime raids of two Hamas buildings in Nuseirat on Saturday.  All of them were taken from the Nova Musical Festival on October 7, 2023.  [...]

Glad to see they adopted the British method of hostage rescue … shoot anyone that isn’t a hostage.

 

No matter their reason for being involved in keeping the hostages captive, they were by default complicit with the act of hostage taking and murder and so forfeited their reason for staying among the living.

CONFIRMED:  'Journalist' Killed by IDF Held 3 Israeli Hostages in His Home, Wrote for US-Based Nonprofit

 

In the wake of the Israel Defense Forces' successful operation to rescue four hostages from captivity in Gaza we're learning more about the conditions in which the hostages lived and who housed them, and once again we're seeing that the native "journalists" covering the conflict are anything but neutral observers.

 

As we noted in numerous stories about Israel's rescue mission, the four hostages rescued were not held in tunnels or prisons; they were held in the homes of alleged civilians in residential areas in Nuseirat.  I say "alleged civilians" because if these people were holding Israeli hostages for eight months they're absolutely part of Hamas and are combatants, not civilians.

One of those alleged civilians, it's now confirmed, was Abdullah Al Jamal, who bills himself as a journalist and who most recently wrote for a United States-based 501(c)(3) NGO, The Palestine Chronicle.  He also wrote at least one piece for Al Jazeera.  The Israeli government confirmed Sunday that Al Jamal, who was neutralized by IDF rescuers, held three hostages captive in his family home:  [...]

Hamas:  'No Idea' How Many Hostages Are Alive

 

[...] a separate story in the news this week could explain some of Hamas' true motives.  The first and most important demand from the West is that Hamas release its hostages.  But according to the group's spokesperson, Osama Hamdan, Hamas probably can't say how many hostages they might be able to release because they have "no idea" how many of them are still alive at this point.  [...]

The Palestinians Are Worse Than the Germans in WWII

 

Immediately after the burnings, rapes, mutilations and murders of Jews on Oct. 7, I was not alone in noting the one moral difference between Hamas and the Nazis: The Nazis tried to hide their crimes against the Jews from the German people (and the world) while Hamas proudly publicized their crimes against the Jews to the Palestinian people (and didn't mind that the world would inevitably see them bragging about killing Jews).  In addition to videoing their atrocities, Hamas paraded captured Jews -- dead and alive, clothed and naked -- in front of cheering Palestinian crowds in Gaza.

 

This leads to a sobering realization.
 

Hamas boasting to their fellow Palestinians about what they did to Jews while the Nazis tried to hide what they did from fellow Germans means there is not only a moral difference between Hamas and the Nazis but a moral difference between the German people during the Nazi era and the Palestinian people today -- and for nearly the last hundred years.

Morally speaking, it would be difficult to name a less impressive people than the Palestinians over the past century.  For those who do not understand that a generalization means, by definition, that there are exceptions, I should note that there are and have always been noble Palestinian individuals.  But the cumulative Palestinian record of evil over the last century has few peers.

Let's begin in the 1940s.  [...]

IDF Destroys Perfectly Good Bicycle

 

Fadi Al-Wadiya was just riding his bike to the Doctors Without Borders clinic Tuesday morning when he was killed by the IDF in an attack in Gaza City.  We trust Doctors Without Borders as much as we do UNRWA, United Nations relief workers who held Israeli hostages in their homes and were present on October 7.

 

Knowing Pallywood, this probably isn't even his bike, but it's a shame that it got ruined.  [...]

Hamas, IRGC claim Israel eliminated leader Ismail Haniyeh in airstrike on Tehran home

 

Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed in Iran, Hamas confirmed on Wednesday morning, while claiming Israel was behind the attack.

 

In a statement, the Islamist terror group said they mourned the death of Haniyeh, who they claimed was killed in "a treacherous Zionist raid on his residence in Tehran."

 

Haniyeh, along with one of his guards, was reportedly killed at his Tehran residence, according to an IRGC statement, and Saudi Arabia's Al-Arabiya reported that he was killed at approximately 2:00 a.m. Wednesday morning.  [...]

Excellent news

[TBoneTX 45,663]

Here's a comment lifted from the Jerusalem Post article.  I like and agree with the second sentence of the second paragraph:

 

"The Ayatollah and Sinwar and Nashrallah along with the rest of Hamas and the IRGC and Hezbollah now must be shaking in their excrement.  They now know nobody is safe anywhere anymore.

 

"For Kamala Harris and the Democrats they just lost one of their favorite foreign allies.  For the Biden administration soon they won't have anyone left to try to force Israel to surrender to.  For Netanyahu he's one step closer to eliminating Hamas militarily and politically.  For the remaining Hamas fighters in Gaza this is not only devastating but must be a signal they're near the end."
