Israel’s hostage rescue: But At What Cost?
Manage episode 422957249 series 3347565
This weekend Israeli forces raided a refugee camp in Gaza and successfully freed four hostages who’d been abducted at a music festival on October 7.
The Hamas-run Health Ministry says 274 people died in that raid, including children and civilians.
The IDF says it killed fewer than 100.
But whatever the total, it’s horrific.
This was a refugee camp. Children were killed.
That doesn’t make it any less horrifying that four innocent Israelis were snatched by terrorists at a music festival in the first place, and no less of a triumph that Israel has now brought them home.
Two things can be true at the same time.
What exactly is wrong with having a moral conscience about innocent people suffering?
Journalist and broadcaster Emily Austin, Palestinian-American commentator, Omar Baddar & Host of “Part Of The Problem Podcast”, Dave Smith join to debate.
