[IsraelNationalNews] Shabbat had finished, I switched on the radio, and heard the wonderfully uplifting news: This morning, our Special Forces located and rescued four of our hostages who had been held captive by the Hamas for eight months!
Along with the rest of the nation, I am rejoicing.
Inevitably, of course, some people are devastated at four Jews being rescued. And if you are one of those, then I address my words here to you.
Whether you’re honest about supporting the Hamas — maybe as an Islamist, maybe as a European or American neo-Nazi, maybe as a college-educated liberal, maybe as an official of the Iranian regime, or maybe as a die-hard Irish nationalist in the Sinn Féin mould;
or whether you like to portray yourself as "pro-Israel but anti-Netanyahu", maybe as J-street, maybe as Jewish Voice for Peace, maybe as a writer or editor of Jewish Currents;
or whether you pretend to be neutral, maybe as Secretary General of the United Nations, maybe as a Red Cross official —
I understand that you’re devastated at Israel’s successfully rescuing these four and bringing them home to safety. I understand that it doesn’t fit your "narrative" — your constantly-repeated mantra that Israel (or Netanyahu, depending on how dishonest you are) doesn’t care about the hostages. I understand that you are distraught because this dramatic rescue reduces the Hamas’s bargaining power.
But please, dear Jew-haters...oops, sorry, I meant to say "anti-Zionists", take heart. All is not lost. There is much from which you can draw solace.
First, the fact that that the genocidal psychopaths of the Hamas whom you so dearly love are still holding some 126 of our hostages. There are still plenty of Jews for them to continue torturing and abusing.
But better than that, for you Jew-haters...oops, sorry, I did it again, I meant to say "anti-Zionists":
This dramatic rescue-mission took place in the Nuseirat refugee camp; that’s where the Hamas were holding these hostages. So inevitably, there were civilian casualties among the Gazans: more than two-hundred killed according to the Hamas — a number which may well rise as either more details become known, or as the Hamas’s accounting department gets to work inflating the figures while differetiating between terrorists and so-called civilians. (Questions: How could 4 hostages be held for months without one "uninvolved" Gazan reporting it? Can it be they did not care?)
This has already led to massive condemnations of Israel.
Mahmoud Abbas, President of the PA, condemned Israel’s operation as a "bloody massacre", and called for an emergency UN Security Council session.
Josep Borrell, the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, wrote on X (formerly Twitter): "Reports from Gaza of another massacre of civilians are appalling. We condemn this in the strongest terms. The bloodbath must end immediately".
Jordan and Egypt, Israel’s two best friends in the Middle East, both condemned the rescue:
The Jordanian Foreign Ministry said that it "condemned the brutal Israeli assault" on the camp, "a practice that reflects the systematic targeting of Palestinian civilians, the Israeli persistence in violating international law and international humanitarian law, and the continuation of committing war crimes".
And the Egyptian Foreign Ministry stated that Egypt "condemns in the strongest terms the Israeli attacks on the Al-Nuseirat camp".
And so, dear Jew-haters...oops, sorry, I did it yet again, I meant to say "anti-Zionists" everywhere, take heart. All is not lost. Yes the Jews managed to rescue four of their hostages, but dead Gazans make such excellent Jew-bashing TV footage that it was well worth it.
Let’s be honest: whether you’re an Islamist, or a neo-Nazi, or a college-educated progressive or liberal, or an official of the Iranian regime, or a die-hard Irish nationalist, or a left-wing Jewish activist, or a UN or Red Cross official, you don’t really care about the "Palestinian Arabs" at all, do you. It’s not, and never has been, about them; it’s about hating Israel.
So take solace, Jew-haters...oops, sorry, I did it yet again, I meant to say "anti-Zionists", in the knowledge that while we here in Israel are rejoicing in the rescue of four of our captives, and while we have confidence in our Army that it can defeat the genocidal psychopaths of the Hamas who are fighting your fight, the world will still continue to condemn us.
Enjoy it.
And here in Israel, we couldn’t give a damn what you think. Actually, we do care that you think. We remember that Globalist/Islamists are as much enemies of Am Israel as the Nazis were. And most of us beginning to realize that "Peace Process" was a huge mistake - the only "Peace" Arabs understand is a threat of a superior force applied with ruthless brutality.
After action report about this story from yesterday. See here for more.
[IsraelTimes] Daylight mission to surprise captors; special forces concurrently raid two buildings in Nuseirat refugee camp where hostages held by Palestinian families; rescue vehicle breaks down after coming under fire; IDF reports under 100 Palestinian casualties, while Hamas claims 210 dead.
The Israel Defense Forces, Shin Bet security agency and Israel Police on Saturday morning carried out one of the most daring, complex, high-risk yet successful operations amid the war against Hamas ..one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,... , rescuing four hostages alive from the terror group’s captivity in the Gazoo

[IsraelTimes] Families forum pledges to continue pushing ‘Netanyahu deal’ for release of hostages as part of ceasefire, says government has duty to bring Israelis ‘happiness, joy and closure’
Perhaps Hamas will be ready to accept a ceasefire once three quarters of them are dead, rather than only half.
Rallies were held in Tel Aviv on Saturday night to demand new elections and the return of Israeli hostages held by Hamas ..one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,... , hours after the military announced that four hostages were rescued alive from central Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... ’s Nuseirat camp.
News of the daring rescue mission led war cabinet member Benny Gantz to cancel a news conference scheduled for Saturday night, at which he was expected to announce he was leaving the government. The developments came amid uncertainty as to the fate of an Israeli proposal for a hostage-for-ceasefire deal that United States President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. ‘This Is A Man ThatDoes Not Seem Demented’... presented last week.
Hamas has yet to formally respond to the proposal, though officials in the terror group have reiterated their insistence that any agreement must guarantee an end to the war, a demand Israel has repeatedly ruled out.
The Hostages and Families Forum has dubbed the proposal "the Netanyahu deal," in an effort to shore up support for it.
"The happiness, bliss and closure are the government’s duty toward its citizens," the group wrote on X after news of the hostages’ rescue.
Utter nonsense. The duty of government toward its citizens is to provide an even playing field where the same laws bind all, and secure borders. Bliss and closure result from individual efforts and achievements.
"They must promote the approval of the Netanyahu deal as soon as this week!"
If Hamas will not agree, there is no point to the Israeli government doing so.
The forum held its weekly rally at Tel Aviv’s Hostages Square. Anti-government protest groups clamoring for new elections assembled nearby, outside the Kirya military headquarters’ southern entrance on Kaplan Street.
The demonstrations in Tel Aviv were complemented by related protests in other parts of the country, including in front of the Herzliya home of war cabinet observer Gadi Eisenkot, the No. 2 in Gantz’s National Unity party.
Gantz threatened last month to quit the government by June 8 if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu failed to present an agreed-upon post-war plan for Gaza’s governance.
Along with the weekly demonstrations, the Peace Partnership held a rally in Tel Aviv’s Habima Square calling to "stop the war as the occupation marks its 57th year," referring to Israel’s capture during the 1967 Six Day War of areas the Paleostinians claim for a future state. An organizer from the group — a coalition of some two dozen left-wing organizations — said Friday that the police did not authorize the protest, though the police website showed that approval was granted on Friday.
[IsraelTimes] Police say that 33 protesters were arrested during demonstrations in Tel Aviv this evening calling for new elections and the return of the remaining hostages held in captivity in Gazoo, hours after the military announced that four hostages were rescued alive from central Gaza’s Nuseirat camp.
The police statement adds that all roads near the protest have now been opened to traffic.
It says that while most demonstrators attended the preapproved rally and then dispersed, some stayed and marched along Begin and Kaplan roads, "while trying to block a traffic route.
"Police forces at the scene dispersed the protesters from the road, while employing riot control methods and arresting disrupters of public order," the statement added.
[IsraelTimes] Qatar and Egypt also warned Doha-based politburo of arrests, freezing of assets, sanctions, officials tell WSJ, but terror group did not budge on demands.
[IsraelTimes] Such reported deaths were 64% in October, but fell to 38% in April; Hamas-run health ministry still claims most deaths are women and kids, contradicting its own daily figures
The proportion of Paleostinian women and kiddies being killed in the Israel-Hamas ..always the voice of sweet reason... war appears to have declined sharply, an News Agency that Dare Not be Named analysis of Gazoo

[IsraelTimes] Change from direct confrontation to ambushes and bomb attacks could prolong fighting for months with no ‘quick fix’ available, officials and analysts say
Hamas has seen about half its forces wiped out in eight months of war and is relying on hit-and-run insurgent tactics to frustrate Israel’s attempts to take control of Gaza, US and Israeli officials told Reuters.
Hamas, the enclave’s ruling group, has been reduced to between 9,000 and 12,000 fighters, according to three senior US officials familiar with battlefield developments, down from American estimates of 20,000-25,000 before the conflict. By contrast, Israel says it has lost almost 300 troops in the Gaza campaign. Hamas fighters are now largely avoiding sustained skirmishes with Israeli forces closing in on the southernmost city of Rafah, instead relying on ambushes and improvised bombs to hit targets often behind enemy lines, one of the officials said.

[IsraelTimes] China next week to host 3rd meeting between Palestinian factions since October 7; experts say terror group set to demand technocratic government it can influence behind the scenes
Rival Paleostinian groups Hamas ..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... and Fatah are due to sit down in China for reconciliation talks in mid-June, according to five unnamed sources who spoke to Rooters this week. The meeting follows two recent rounds of talks, one in Russia in March and one in China in April. China’s foreign ministry declined to comment on reports that it will also host the next round.

[Regnum] Before the IDF special operation in the Nuseirat area, the United States provided Israel with intelligence information about hostages being held in the Gaza Strip, The New York Times reported on June 8.
“A U.S. hostage rescue team stationed in Israel assisted the Israeli military in its efforts to rescue the four hostages by providing intelligence and other logistical support,” the article wrote.
The authors noted that groups of specialists from the United States and Great Britain are located on Israeli territory during the military conflict and help the intelligence of the Jewish state in collecting and analyzing information about the hostages, as well as about high-ranking representatives of the Palestinian Hamas movement.
According to one Israeli official, the US and Britain can help with intelligence from the air and cyberspace, since Israel cannot do this on its own.
As Regnum reported, on June 8, the official representative of the militant wing of the Palestinian Hamas movement, the Izzeddin al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Ubaydah, informed about the death of several hostages held in the Gaza Strip as a result of the Israeli operation in the refugee camp in Nuseirat. After that, the release of those held "will create a danger for the remaining" hostages and will have a negative impact on their conditions and lives, he added.
On the same day, the Israeli army announced the release of four hostages who had been held by Hamas since October 7, 2023. The operation was carried out in the central part of the Gaza Strip. All those released were taken to a medical facility in the suburbs of Tel Aviv. Among them is 27-year-old citizen of Russia and Israel Andrei Kozlov.
The US House of Representatives on April 20 passed a bill to allocate $95 billion in military aid to Israel, Taiwan and Ukraine. According to the document, the Jewish state will receive $26 billion from the United States, including about 9.1 billion for humanitarian needs. The US decision to provide new military aid to Israel is aggression against the Palestinians, said Nabil Abu Rudeina, spokeswoman for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
”Ewwww! We wouldn’t pollute our beautiful Hamas pier with Jooooo cooties!”
[IsraelTimes] The United States Central Command says that its humanitarian aid pier in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... was not used in the Israeli operation that successfully rescued four hostages yesterday morning.
"The humanitarian pier facility, including its equipment, personnel, and assets were not used in the operation to rescue hostages today in Gaza. An area south of the facility was used by the Israelis to safely return the hostages to Israel," CENTCOM says in a statement on X.
"Any such claim to the contrary is false. The temporary pier on the coast of Gaza was put in place for one purpose only, to help move additional, urgently needed lifesaving assistance into Gaza."
The statement comes as the US resumed aid deliveries via the temporary pier yesterday, after the structure suffered storm damage and underwent repairs in a nearby port.
"Today at approximately 10:30 am (Gaza time) US Central Command (USCENTCOM) began delivery of humanitarian assistance ashore in Gaza. Today, a total of approximately 492 metric tons (~1.1 million pounds) of much needed humanitarian assistance was delivered to the people of Gaza," CENTCOM writes in a separate post on X.
The pier was repaired in the Israeli port of Ashdod before being brought back to the Gaza coast and reestablished on Friday.
