Another Hostage Rescued!
All of Israel is celebrating the rescue of a freed hostage.
When Hamas attacked on October 7, they didn’t just kidnap and kill Jews; but they captured people like Qaid Farhan, a 52-year-old Bedouin and Israeli citizen.
Qaid isn’t Jewish. He is Muslim who was working as a guard at a meat-packing factory near Kibbutz Magen on October 7. But Hamas took him hostage anyway, holding Qaid prisoner in the secret tunnels the terror organization built under schools and United Nations humanitarian centers throughout Gaza.
Qaid, a father of 11, was held prisoner for 326 days.
Israel Defense Forces rescued Qaid on Tuesday, no thanks to the arms embargo the Biden-Harris administration continues to wage against the Jewish state.
The streets of Israel broke out with joy and celebration when Qaid’s rescue was announced. The joy in the restored life of a Muslim fellow countryman proves that the leftist talking point — Israel is an “apartheid state” that seeks the “genocide” of all Arabs — is a despicable lie.
Instead, Qaid’s plight — including reports that Hamas starved their fellow Muslim to skin and bones. Qaid lost 55 pounds, proving what we have been saying all along. The genocidal murderers in this equation are not from Israel, but Hamas and its Iranian terror proxy allies.
On the same day IDF soldiers risked their lives to rescue Qaid and transport him to a Tel Aviv hospital for emergency treatment, U.S. Democrats Ilhan Omar and Alicia Ocasio-Cortez took to the microphones to again irrationally condemn Israel as a genocidal state and demand a full arms embargo against Israel.
By now, we are all rather accustomed to “the Squad’s” illogical ravings. But others are taking their demands very seriously.
Vice President Kamala Harris, fresh off her unelected coronation as Democratic presidential candidate, has held secret meetings with anti-Israel groups like “The Uncommitted National Movement.” During the primary elections, the group mobilized more than 100,000 people to write “uncommitted” on their Michigan presidential primary ballots, rather than voting for the Democratic nominee at the time, Joe Biden.
Unwilling to lose the pro-Palestinian vote now that she is the candidate at the top of the ticket, Harris not only met with the group but also told them she is considering a full arms embargo against Israel, according to sources who leaked details of the meeting.
And while the Biden-Harris administration continues to publicly claim that their support of Israel is “ironclad,” they continue to withhold the much- needed arms and munitions Congress appropriated for Israel NINE MONTHS AGO.
Both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris need to stop trying to appease pro-Hamas voters and instead do what the representatives of the American people ordered them to do — support Israel.
Congress needs to take action NOW to stop this Biden-Harris treachery.
Please, continue to pray for Israel and her people.
