If any American still needs to be convinced of the righteousness of Israel’s military campaign against Hamas, then the juxtaposition of the Israel Defense Force’s rescue of four civilian hostages held by Hamas with the chaotic anti-Israel riots surrounding the White House should make the moral choice clear.

Just before noon local time in Gaza Saturday, the IDF infiltrated two apartment buildings in Nuseirat, neutralized the Hamas fighters inside, extracted the hostages, and then fought their way to a nearby beach where they boarded helicopters for Israel.
