US Fake News Misrepresents the IDF Hostage Rescue

Israel’s IDF rescued four hostages from Hamas control. They were kept in civilian residences. An IDF soldier and dozens of Gazans died during the rescue attempt because Hamas used their people as human shields. That is what happened.

Fake News CNN ran a chyron during an interview claiming Hamas terrorists released the hostages. Calling it a “hostage release” is even too blatant a lie for CNN. The CNN host Victor Blackwell corrected it.

The BBC didn’t bother to mention it was an IDF rescue operation until midway through the article. Instead, they began with this: “Four hostages kidnapped by Hamas have been reunited with their families after being rescued in a raid that Palestinian officials say killed scores of people.” They immediately went into the number of Palestinians potentially killed in the “IDF raid.”

Meanwhile, the media has condemned Israel for the deaths of those hiding the hostages or living within the vicinity. The AP claims they rescued four and killed at least 274 Palestinians. That number came from Hamas. The US said it was under 100. The IDF soldier who died was labeled the “commando.”

The NY Times presented the horror from the Palestinian viewpoint. It was “unimaginable.” Somehow, the fact that Hamas used them as human shields never came up. WaPo talked about the “wall of fire,” and CNN regurgitated the Times article.

It is never good when civilians die in war, which is one reason we should avoid it at all costs. Hamas and the civilians who joined them should never have massacred Israelis on October 7, and they should alter their charter to destroy Israel.

Currently, Biden wants to work out a “unilateral” deal with the terror group to get five American hostages back. Biden’s deals are never good—another bad idea from the administration.

Why are we even talking about this? I don’t care for either side, and we have multitude problems here at home to worry about. I’m not picking a side, and I also don’t support dual-citizens.

Then just stay away, and we don’t care what you support or don’t support.

Liberals will tell you that if Trump did not want to do the time or pay the fine he should not have done the crime.

but if you tell them that if Hamas did not want Israel to shoot and bomb them, then they should not have attacked on October 7

the logic they used for Trump suddenly no longer applies

Talking to liberals is a waste of time and energy, they are defective people.

An interesting footnote:

Three of the hostages – Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov and Shlomi Zia were held in the home of Palestinian journalist Abdallah Al-Jamal, who worked for the US 501(c)3 registered non-profit organization The Palestine Chronicle, and as a spokesperson for the Hamas Ministry of Labor. The Israel Defense Forces confirmed that the three hostages were being held by this “journalist” and his family.
Unsurprisingly, Abdallah Al-Jamal also worked for the Qatari-owned Al-Jazeera television network, which has long been serving as a de facto mouthpiece for Hamas and other Islamist terror groups.
Abdallah, his wife Fatima, and his father, Dr. Ahmed Al-Jamal, were killed during the Israeli raid on the apartment where they were holding the hostages.
The Palestinian journalist’s involvement in impriosning Israeli hostages did not surprise those who are familiar with his hatred for Jews and his affiliation with Hamas.
On October 7, Abdallah Al-Jamal, in response to the Hamas-led attack on Israel, celebrated on social media:

“Praise be to God, thank you very much, Oh God, pay back, Oh God, pay back, Oh God, pay back, Oh God, you promised victory. Oh God, accept it, accept it, grant us your victory.”

Ironically, Al-Jamal has been the source of multiple stories about Israeli attacks on civilians in the Gaza Strip. He wrote the stories while he and his family members were holding three Jewish hostages in their home.

The fox was telling the media how many chickens were in the coup and the media were assuring us a fox would never lie about how many chickens are in the coup.

Sorry, I know my analogy is kind of weak, but damn the main stream media are people both the dumbest and most dishonest people on this planet.

First of all, the IDF went in there dressed as Arabs and spoke to the locals in Arabic. Those locals weren’t “human shields. They are instructed to bear arms whenever the IDF is present. As was described on an Israeli channel, the IDF rescued Noa and then took fire when evacuating the three men. Since there was such confusion on who were IDF, dressed as Arabs, and who were Gazans, the result was many died by their own people.
