Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a speech warning remaining Hamas terrorists that if they release their hostages and surrender, they will live. If they continue to hold them, they will be hunted down and killed. He also describes simply and bluntly why this is necessary. It should be required reading in a lot of US colleges. I have a feeling it will also be welcome news to a surprising number of Palestinians and other Arabs in the region, many of whom are celebrating the death of Hamas leader Yahwa Sinwar. One called it the best day of his life.

Just this week, I told you about a leaked memo from Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to Israeli defense officials, threatening to cut off military aid. It included praise for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) even though we know a number of its workers were involved in Hamas’ October 7^th attack on Israel.

Flash forward to yesterday’s great news that Israel had killed Hamas leader and October 7^th mastermind Yahwa Sinwar. Turns out that the ID carried by Sinwar’s bodyguard listed his occupation as “UNRWA teacher,” and the official UNRWA Twitter/X page had a black mourning band pasted over its logo. Do you think that might be enough to teach even the Biden-Harris Defense Department what UNRWA really is?

Kamala Harris congratulated Israel in a move that critics called an attempt to look presidential. But she left out the fact that last spring, she threatened “consequences” against Israel if they went into Rafah. She claimed she’d “studied the maps” and knew Hamas wasn’t there. Israel ignored her, and that’s where the IDF found Sinwar and many other Hamas terrorists.

Sen. Tom Cotton tweeted, “Sinwar would be alive today and terrorizing the world if she got her way. Kamala Harris cannot be trusted as commander-in-chief.”

To be fair, you could argue that she'd be as good at the job as Joe Biden, who issued a statement congratulating Israel and comparing the strike on Sinwar to the killing of Osama Bin Laden. He didn’t mention that he advised Obama not to order the strike on Bin Laden. Obama ignored him.
