(JNS) Jonathan S. Tobin - Recent pictures from Gaza show Palestinian men of military age who had surrendered to the Israel Defense Forces and are kneeling and stripped down to their underwear with their hands tied. Those who not so long ago gloried in the unspeakable suffering inflicted on Oct. 7 by Hamas were now reduced to the status of helpless captives. On their faces could be seen the impact of their defeat and, perhaps, the realization that the calculations of their leadership that they could wage war on Israel with impunity were wrong. Are such images humiliating for those in the pictures? Of course. But if you're angry about the wounded pride of members of a barbaric terrorist group, then maybe you're the one who has no moral compass, not the Israelis. The main reaction on the part of much of the international community to the largest mass slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust was outrage that Israel would use military means to ensure that such a horrific crime could not be repeated. But the pictures of Palestinian prisoners do touch a nerve. The photos provoke anger because they show that Hamas is losing the war they started against the Jews. 2023-12-13 00:00:00Full Article
