For friends reading this, especially Jewish friends, who are shocked at some of the reactions to Israel rescuing four hostages:
In 1976, after the near miraculous rescue of 102 mostly Jewish hostages by Israeli commandos at Entebbe (Uganda), the UN Secretary General whined that the operation was "a serious violation of the national sovereignty of a United Nations member state"
These whackjobs have always existed, and they will always exist.
Which is why Israel must always exist.
