Qaid Farhan al-Qadi, a 52-year-old Arab Bedouin man, was working at a meat-packing factory near Kibbutz Magen on October 7. The Hamas murderers did not care that Qaid is an Arab Muslim, and they kidnapped him along with the hundreds of Jews the terror group caught in its wake that day.

Since the October massacre, the IDF has been following every possible lead to try to rescue all remaining hostages, including Arabs, before Hamas can starve or butcher them all.

Earlier this week, a tip led the IDF to the tunnels in Gaza, where they fought off Hamas jihadis to save one single Muslim man.

The jihadis had held Qaid under armed guard in near total darkness for 326 days. They starved him so badly that he had lost 55 pounds by the time the IDF rescued him Tuesday. Upon defeating Qaid’s guards, the IDF flew Qaid by helicopter to the nearest hospital to stabilize him and reunite him with his family.

The New York Times did cover the story, but in doing so, tried to excuse Hamas for hurting Muslims as well as Jews.

Despite admitting that Hamas killed at least 17 Bedouins during the October 7 massacre, NYT journalist Amelia Nierenberg acted as an apologist for the terror group. “Hamas does not directly target” Bedouins, Nierenberg claimed.

Nierenberg continued, “Bedouins are not always able to seek shelter when the group [Hamas] fires rockets into southern Israel,” in an outlandish attempt to blame Israel for the deaths and destruction Hamas has rained down on Bedouin communities scattered across Israel.

Though not Jewish, Bedouin people receive full rights as Israeli citizens, including the right to vote, receive social services, and even qualify for welfare allowances. They also, as the IDF rescue proved this week, have the right to be defended and rescued by the Israeli military and police.

Thankfully, the non-Iranian-controlled Muslim newspapers of the Middle East ARE telling the truth about Israel and Hamas.

Elaph, an Arabic news site, published an article Tuesday by noted Muslim analyst Amjad Taha.

“Hamas is the ISIS of Gaza and an enemy of humanity, not just the Jews. Oh, by the way, Israel, the so-called apartheid Jewish state, just rescued and saved an Arab Muslim. Read that last line again and try to grasp the depth of the deception you live in,” wrote Taha, responding to the pro-Hamas western press.

Alkadi doubled down on social media, posting a picture of the rescued man surrounded by Jewish doctors wearing kippahs, and Qaid’s family members wearing traditional Muslim taqiyyahs.

"This picture powerfully demonstrates reality,” wrote Alkadi, “the so-called 'apartheid' Jewish state, where a Jewish doctor treats a Muslim Arab who was held captive by the Hamas-ISIS terrorists in Gaza.”

“Israel sent Jewish soldiers to rescue a Bedouin-Arab-Muslim and reunite him with his children,” Alkadi continued. “If you live in New York, Paris, or London, you might be confused because your media won't show you this reality in the Middle East."

Joe Biden has largely been missing in action since his disastrous debate performance that caused the world to wonder about dementia in the Oval Office. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris is busy appeasing ignorant and uninformed American pro-Hamas voters in hopes of capturing for herself the most powerful office in the world.

Congress needs to act NOW to stop this Biden-Harris treachery.

Demand Congress END the Biden-Harris Arms Embargo NOW before Iran’s terror proxies can harm even one more Israeli Muslim or Jew.

Please, continue to pray for Israel and her people.
