Hostage Exchange – Israel Viewpoint

2023-11-30 The color of pure evil: A commentary on the moral inequalities of Israel and Hamas
[MEK Note: The lies and hatred toward Palestinians expressed in this article are hard to fathom. Israel has mostly released woman and children held in detention without charges, some for years, yet the author calls all of them murders and terrorists. Meanwhile Israel has murdered over 15,000 civilians, mostly women, children and even babies and the author cheers for more of the same! Every Palestinian is a Hamas! Every Hamas a Terrorist! Every Terrorist must be eliminated!]
Each night, Israelis are glued to their television screens, witnessing the return of hostages in a global media event broadcasted by Arab and international networks. The anticipation is palpable as people watch with bated breath, hoping to see innocent Israelis emerge from the clutches of their Hamas captors.
However, labeling the truce as a mere “hostage exchange” oversimplifies the complexity of the situation. Hamas has reluctantly released abducted children, babies, sick, and elderly individuals who suffered in underground terror tunnels in Gaza without adequate medical treatment. In contrast, Israel not only agreed to release convicted murderers and terrorists held in its prisons but also accepted a conspicuously unequal exchange, releasing three terrorists for each innocent Israeli.
Despite the significant concessions made by Israel, the nation’s moral stance remains resolute. The safe return of its citizens takes precedence, even at the high cost of halting military operations and releasing Palestinian terrorists. This underscores the unwavering commitment to prioritizing the well-being of its people over other considerations.
The most glaring difference between Israel and Hamas can be viewed in the fundamental belief in the sanctity of life and the glorification of death. The intrinsic value that the Jewish people place on life has come with a high cost, as evident through the hostage negotiations that have taken place throughout the humanitarian truce that began last Friday. While this has been a matter of significant public and political discourse, and even when faced with such a difficult strategic decision, Israeli leadership has demonstrated its adherence to the Jewish value of the sanctity of life. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/the-color-of-pure-evil-a-commentary-on-the-moral-inequalities-of-israel-and-hamas/ar-AA1kNSAB
