Carteresque: Joe Biden Said Israeli Hostages Released by Hamas Terrorists Appeared to Be 'in Good Health'
By John F. Di Leo
On his last full day in office before President Trump’s second inaugural, the pretender Joseph Biden demonstrated how unqualified he had always been for the office, with one simple statement.
Asked to comment on the first three Israeli hostages – all young women in their 20s, kidnapped on Oct. 7, 2023 – who were finally freed by Hamas this weekend, Joe Biden said “They appear to be in good health.”
This may sound like a harmless throwaway line, a cheerful effort to put a happy face on a difficult policy moment.
But I doubt it.
Joe Biden has displayed a shocking ability to expect the best from the mass murderers who run Gaza, to routinely give them the benefit of the doubt, and to rhetorically attack our friend Israel for its caution in dealing with them.
In this peculiar ceasefire program, Hamas proposes to release just a few hostages per week, while Israel releases imprisoned terrorists at a rate of 100 convicted terrorists per hostage. Eventually, if this process continues unabated, Israel will get 33 hostages back, and Hamas will get over 3,000 of its “soldiers” back.
It is likely that the eyes of the world will most closely watch the first one or two batches, then quickly lose interest in covering the story.
The Gazan prisoners released by Israel have been held in decent conditions -- normal modern prisons with decent food and proper medical care.
By contrast, the hostages whom Hamas is finally releasing have been held for 15 months in horrific conditions, often in underground tunnels, chained down, malnourished, and roughly handled, to say the least. Others have been literally enslaved in terrorist households. They won’t want to speak of it, but we know that Islamofascist kidnappers typically use hostages – especially female hostages – as sexual playthings.
