Israeli Airstrikes Kill DOZENS Of Palestinians In Rafah As Hostages Rescued

President Joe Biden called Benjamin Netanyahu's response to the October 7th attacks by Hamas as "over the top" as dozens of Palestinians have been reported dead from Israeli airstrikes at the Rafah Crossing. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss on The Young Turks.

"TEL AVIV — Israel’s military rescued two hostages overnight Monday under the cover of deadly airstrikes on the southern Gaza city of Rafah, unleashing a wave of hope across Israel and dread among the 1.4 million Palestinians who have sought refuge in the area.

The two hostages, Fernando Simon Marman, 60, and Luis Har, 70, both dual Israeli Argentine citizens, were abducted from Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak on Oct. 7. They were taken captive with three female relatives who were released during a week-long pause in fighting in late November."

Netanyahu saying their operation "tries to minimize the civilian population" was quite the slip

[johnjarou]

Thank you Cenk and Ana. You tell it like is!! You won't hear anything CLOSE on US mainstream!

[johnsturgis]

I can't believe they are doing the same thing that they escaped from back in the 1940s. What the hell ?

Abdessalam Yassine, founder of Hamas, was born near Ashkelon, also pushed with his family to Gaza by Israel. To refuse to see that 60% of Gazans came from the places where Israelis now live is to be blind. We cannot understand October 7th without knowing History. ~ Shlomo Sand (Jewish historian)

How come they look so much better taken care of and healthy when they get released compared to the Palestinian hostages released from Israeli prisons?

Netanyahoo is an evil butcher!!!! (Spelling is intentional).

[gmedeiros]

The fact that nothing can be done to prevent the demise of innocent children and unarmed civilians and can only watch and grow frustrated is a warning that many can not see.
Lots of money is being made on the demise of humanity and the human spirit .
These are evil times and it only gets worse .

[Mspocket]

Go Ana Go!!! Y’all nailed this one. Summed it all up it’s so obvious so why are so many people pretending it’s not happening?

[KG]

The White House came out and walked back the “over the top” remark saying Biden only meant it in terms of the Rafah ground assault, not the entire Gaza onslaught. So… there’s that. Even their milquetoast platitudes feigning consideration for civilians are less than meaningless.

[Frossyt]

Stop with the bs human shields bs. It’s all bs. None of that is true.

[dr-w]

Yeah that press briefing was mental gymnastics was crazy.

[princesspupcake]

Man, the Israel-apologists always skitter out of the woodwork any time news of their "CarWimes" breaks. How's that boot taste, guys?

[guillaumebarnabe]

Netanayhu : "I think we responded in a way that goes after the terrorists and tries to MINIMIZE the civilian population in which the terrorists embedded themselves" Only truth from him, he is trying to minimize the civilian population and he is getting close to 2% murdered of that population by now... give him time

It's time to demand LOVE All around the world. No more hate, no more lies. Humanity is dying4LOVE

Cenk: "if you kill 67 civilians to rescue two hostages, would I have done that - No".

If your child was held by murderous Taliban terrorists for 128 days, and the price to free her was the risk of killing uninvolved afghans, would you ask your government to rescue her, or would you let her rot?
The hell you would ask them to rescue her.

In international law, nowhere does one find that the occupying force has the “right” to defend itself. Instead, it is explicitly written that an occupied nation has the right to fight by any means necessary for its freedom.

He has American born accent, and he is saying great news for the nation. This proves that this is a colonial nation

My comments criticizing Israel keep being erased

[bobbygabriel]

The oppressed becomes the oppressor and adopts the methods of its own oppression. This is seen throughout history.
