In a daring raid on Saturday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Israel Police, and Israel Security Agency (ISA) rescued four hostages who had been in the clutches of Hamas terrorists since the barbaric October 7 attacks: Noa Argamani, 25; Almog Meir Jan, 21,; Andrey Kozlov, 27; and Shlomi Ziv, 40. Decent people everywhere rejoiced, while Hamas apologists in the U.S. government and Western media were left rending their garments in mourning for the jihadists and their supporters killed in the raid.
This downer of a New York Times headline captured the disapproving spirit of the media response to the glorious hostage rescue: “Israel Rescues 4 Hostages in Assault That Killed Scores of Gazans.”
The actual number of Palestinian dead is unconfirmed as of this writing; CNN, the most distrusted name in news, reported that the Gaza Ministry of Health, the propaganda organ of Hamas, claims 274 Palestinians were killed and 698 injured – a number you can be sure has been inflated higher than a Chinese spy balloon. The IDF estimated that the number of casualties from the operation was “under 100.”
Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union, U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan contributed to the anti-Israel media narrative by stating that “innocent people were tragically killed in this operation. The exact number we don’t know, but innocent people were killed and that is heartbreaking. That is tragic.”
But how does he know innocent people were killed? Hamas itself does not distinguish between their militant and civilian casualties, and perhaps we shouldn’t either. According to a March poll of Palestinians, 71% of all Palestinians supported Hamas’ decision to attack Israel on October 7; 59% of all Palestinians think Hamas should rule Gaza; and 70% were satisfied with the role Hamas has played during the war. Support for Hamas has increased since the October 7 attacks.
