Fake News Has Consequences

On Sunday, Red State posted an article about the terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado, on Sunday. The article noted that the attack took place hours after CNN, the Associated Press, Fox News, and other news outlets reported a fake story about Israeli soldiers massacring Gazans at an aid distribution center. The story simply was not true. I doubt that story alone was enough to inspire a terrorist who probably already had planned his attack, but how many future terrorists will it inspire before it is totally renounced as ‘fake news?’

The article reports:

Israel supporters marching at a memorial walk for the hostages still being held by Hamas were attacked with Molotov cocktails on Sunday, according to multiple reports. Videos of the aftermath are already circulating, and an alleged assailant is in custody.

…While officials from Boulder, a notoriously left-wing city, urged people not to jump to conclusions, there is no doubt what the motive was. The attacker can be seen saying, “This will end when Palestine is free,” in this  video.

The terrorist has missed the point–Palestine (which has never actually been a country) needs to be free of Hamas. Since that is not possible, the people of the Gaza Strip need to be relocated to a place where they can live in peace. If you look at a map of the Middle East, you realize that the Arab countries have a lot of land and that Israel has a very small amount of land. Logically, if you want a country of Palestine, it could easily be given a small piece of Arab land to live happily every after. The reason that has never happened is that as long as there is no official Palestinian state and the ‘refugees’ have no home, the Arabs can use that as an issue in their fight to eliminate Israel.

The article concludes:

This is what happens when national and international press outlets run with an obviously fake blood libel fed to them by Hamas. Just like the two murdered Israeli embassy workers in mid-May, there are consequences to riling up deranged lunatics who want a “global intifada.” 

How The Freed Hostages View The Trump Presidency

On Thursday, The Times of Israel posted an article about the meeting between President Trump and eight former Hamas hostages.

The article reports:

“[Trump and Witkoff] made a deal possible, they got us all home,” Keith Siegel is quoted saying in the statement released by the Hostages and Missing Families Forum. “We urged them to continue their enormous efforts. They have done so much. We trust them and we know they will get the job done to get all the rest of the 59 remaining hostages held in Gaza back to their families, back to Israel.”

Fellow freed captive Eli Sharabi says the group met with Trump “to ensure that the 59 hostages still being held will be released through an agreement for their return as soon as possible,” and thanks the US president and Witkoff for being “committed to this goal.”

A March 6 article at The Geller Report quotes some of the former hostages:

Naama Levy: “You were our hope when we were there and now you are their hope.”

Trump: “Until I came along you didn’t think you would get home?”

Former Hostages: “No.”

Listen to several of the freed Israeli hostages describe the brutality of Hamas captivity to President Trump. No member of Hamas should walk the earth.

“My family and I believe you were sent by God to rescue the hostages,” said one surviving hostage to President Trump. Thank you to President Trump for taking the time to listen to these former hostages in the Oval Office.

President Trump has issued an ultimatum to Hamas telling them to free the remaining hostages. We have no idea how many hostages are still alive, but it is time to go in and destroy Hamas. We cannot allow the remaining hostages to continue to be mistreated. Where is the international outcry?
