As much as we want to see Israeli children and parents returned to their families, let me tell you what else we're feeling about the hostage deal. Rage at being forced to negotiate with the butchers responsible for the October 7 massacre. Despair that, at best, only 33 of the 98 hostages will be released in the first phase—and that many families may never see their loved ones return alive. Disgust that hundreds of convicted Palestinian terrorists are about to be set free. and some will undoubtedly return to violence. This deal conjures some of the darkest chapters in Jewish history when Jewish names appeared on lists, and our enemies decided who would live and who would die.
