We suspected that Hamas would not release some Israeli hostages. But corpses do not speak or testify.
Protesters block a highway in Tel Aviv, Israel, on May 6, 2024, during a demonstration calling for the government to reach a cease-fire deal with Hamas and to bring home hostages. Protests on American campuses are the current media obsession: They are relatively simple to cover, easily localized to a campus near you and filled with attention-seeking spokespeople, and they come replete with baked-in controversies.
A delicate D.C. dance, you might say. Principles versus political expediency. They’re dancing the same two-step on many campuses. As has been widely reported, Israel and Hamas are negotiating a potential truce that would allow for the return of Israeli hostages, even as Israel took control Monday of the Gazan side of the Rafah border crossing that separates Egypt and the Gaza Strip. Israel has said that a ground offensive into Rafah, where Hamas is holed up, is an essential part of its strategy to defeat the terrorist group in the interests of its national security.
