BBC news presenter asks: Did IDF 'warn the Palestinians' before hostage rescue. [Stupid is as stupid does]

IDF spokesman says warning those holding the hostages 'would defeat the purpose' since the terrorists would 'kill the hostages'; CNN takes heat for saying that the hostages were 'released', implying that Hamas freed them.

The coverage of Operation Arnon, in which four hostages held captive in Gaza were rescued, aroused interest throughout the world media; But as is typical when it comes to the coverage of the war between Israel and Hamas, it did not go smoothly..

Conricus was forced to answer the obvious to the strange question: "Of course, we cannot anticipate Israel to be warning ahead of a raid to extract or to save hostages because then what the terrorists would do is to kill the hostages, and that would defeat the purpose." Conricus added that the hostages "were held and jailed by Palestinian civilians in a Palestinian civilian area. As regrettable as any loss of life is, I think that we would have to investigate really who were the people who jailed these Israeli civilians for eight months."

For days before August 6th, the US warned the Japanese, those living and working in Hiroshima specifically, to evacuate the city. They didn't, because they were fanatics, just like the Islamists in Gaza. So what would be the point? It's silly to warn an enemy of an imminent attack.

Out of curiosity I opened a history book and looked it up.

It turns out that the Allies did NOT warn Hitler before landing in Normandy on D-Day. I wonder if the BBC is upset with Eisenhower.

reading news copy about a war action doesn’t mean you understand the realities of a war, being in a war zone - and she apparently doesn’t know how stupid she appears.

There was it turns out a communications problem. The Allies let Hitler know they were landing at Pais de Calis and then forgot to go there

Quotes:

On June 22 1982, Joe Biden was a Senator from Delaware and confronted then Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin during his Senate Foreign Relations committee testimony, threatening to cut off aid to Israel.

Begin forcefully responded, “Don’t threaten us with cutting off your aid. It will not work. I am not a Jew with trembling knees. I am a proud Jew with 3,700 years of civilized history. Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers and ovens. Nobody came to our aid when we were striving to create our country. We paid for it. We fought for it. We died for it. We will stand by our principles. We will defend them. And, when necessary, we will die for them again, with or without your aid.”

They, including US stooges, only know what their commie masters want them to “know”. And yeah, it’s all lies.

Did Air Chief Marshal Sir Arthur “Bomber” Harris warn the residents of Hamburg and Dresden?

She’s claiming women and kids were killed. I doubt it. Pallywood prop. But if they were, then it’s on Hamas and the civilian Palirats for having women and kids around the hostages. Yay to Israel. Keep it up. Raid on Entebbe part 2.
