Don't Listen to Those Who Reframe a Hostage Rescue as an Atrocity


(Telegraph-UK) Jake Wallis Simons - Israel's war in Gaza is not one of aggression, bloodlust or conquest. Despite the propaganda of Hamas and its armies of sympathizers at the UN and in the international media, Jews do not relish the deaths of children. Don't listen to those who reframe a hostage rescue as an atrocity. This is a war of defense, of humanity and of love. We root for the IDF. Those brave soldiers who leave their parents and their children for the maw of the death cult are not motivated by enthusiasm for killing, but to release their countrymen, to protect their families and their home. While the world tells Israel to lay down its arms, dreaming up ever more spurious arguments - stop fighting and Hamas will vanish, ceasefire and your daughters will be freed, be kind and they will come to love you, give them a state and they will allow you to live - the IDF must carry on. The writer is editor of the Jewish Chronicle-UK.
