G-d bless President Trump.
The leader of the free world has achieved the seemingly impossible. He has freed from the clutches of terrorists in Gaza the last remaining Jewish hostages who’ve endured more than two years of extreme physical and psychological torture.
The president of the United States has brought to heel Hamas, a group of murderous madmen bent on destroying not only the captives’ beloved nation of Israel, but an entire people: innocent Jews.
They failed.
The 20 freed souls were nearly starved to death, held in tunnels underground, deprived even of sufficient water. Stripped of humanity. Devoid of hope.
Somehow, they survived.
There is joy throughout Israel and around the world, but also sorrow and excruciating pain. In exchange for the release of a few dozen people, including the remains of murdered hostages, Hamas ghouls are getting back some 2,000 of their own prisoners held in Israeli custody, some of them cold-blooded killers.
Or, as one random Middle Eastern commentator in the Jew-hating media — I’m talking about NBC News — shamelessly described the freed terrorist fighters early Monday, as I watched in horror, “hostages.”
Yes, Hamas calls its own jailed savages “hostages,” and the terror group’s media conspirators fall in line.
NBC, in fact, deliberately ignored Israelis cheering Trump for securing a peace deal with Hamas that brought home the survivors and bodies of the dead, as Vice President JD Vance rightly complained on the TV network’s “Meet the Press” Sunday.
At other outlets including CNN and MSNBC, it was just as bad. But the New York Times may have outdone them all, publishing a “news analysis” last week that begged understanding for the vicious fiends. It bore this astonishing headline:
Hamas Takes a Big Risk in Deal to Release Hostages.
Subhead:
The Palestinian militant group is giving up much of the leverage it has with Israel, with no guarantee some of its main demands will be met.
My heart bleeds.
As the long, horrific nightmare draws to a close, the oppressors continue to put themselves on even footing with the more than 1,200 Israelis and foreign visitors they’ve slaughtered, raped, tortured or held for years.
This libel is parroted uncritically by the useful media idiots. It’s unlikely to stop. But we know the truth.
Today, there is celebration amid the mourning. There is pride amid the anger. There is life. And every life is precious.
Meanwhile, many Palestinian people are now daring to join Israelis in cheering Trump for freeing them from Hamas’ iron grip. For ending their suffering as well. For bringing them peace.
Addressing Israel’s parliament Monday, the US president sounded energized, cordial and victorious. In just scant weeks, Trump engineered a laying down of arms, ending, we can only hope forever, a conflict that had dogged the region for many years.
He’d brought on board the governments of other Muslim-majority nations that are sick and tired of terrorists’ stranglehold on the beleaguered Gaza Strip.
Trump helped convince them to pressure Hamas to give up on this thankless war with Israel, and allow the Palestinians, as well as the rest of those in the Middle East, to live without fear of looting and extreme violence committed by the thugs who controlled the area.
It seemed impossible. Trump made it reality.
In coming days and years, decent people will mourn the dead. Former hostages will begin traveling the long road to recovery. Normal life should return to Gaza.
Trump made it happen.
Will the media, the Democrats and his critics ever put their hate aside to thank him?
