Hostage Deal in Principle Surrender Never!

Israel Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich says the latest hostage deal is a ‘national security catastrophe’. Declaring now is the time to continue at full strength, conquer and clean the entire strip. He went on to say, ”We will not be part of a surrender deal that will include the release of arch-terrorists, stopping the war, and dissolve its achievements that were bought with much blood, and the abandonment of many hostages,”. ”…Open the gates of hell on Gaza until the complete surrender of Hamas and return of all of the hostages,” Smotrich concluded.

Understandably, many of the hostage’s families rejected Betzalel Smotrichs’ comments out of hand, desperate to save their imprisoned family members.

Putting aside the raw feelings of loving families and coldly focusing on the necessity to stop future October 7s that would result in more Jews being slaughtered and kidnapped for ransom, let alone the 900 + young men and women of the IDF who have lost their lives in pursuit of freeing their fellow Jews from the clutches of evil many times the number of hostages. Are they the only victims of war? Every Israeli is on the front line; every Israeli is subject to the horrors of war carried out by bloodthirsty ideologues and unapologetic Jew-Haters who see all Jews as combatants. We are in a war that we cannot afford to lose. There is no room for compromise. Our enemies will show us no mercy, and we should return the favour with interest.

Betzalel Smotrich is right when he calls for all hell to break loose over Gaza and never to surrender; he is right because, as the last 100 hundred years have shown, this is a fight to the death between good and evil between Jews and all those who would extinguish Jewish life from the earth.

Does anyone honestly believe that the return of Israel’s hostages will bring peace and safety to Jews in the future? Only the naive and desperate would believe the lying Arabs, treacherous in word and deed as ever.
