American hostage Edan Alexander is finally coming home after 600 days in Hamas captivity. The 21-year-old Israeli-American soldier was kidnapped during Hamas’ October 7 terrorist attacks that slaughtered over 1,200 Israelis. Israel agreed to briefly pause military operations in Gaza to secure his release – a necessary but painful concession to bloodthirsty terrorists.
This victory came despite weak leadership from the Biden administration. While brave Israeli commandos did the heavy lifting, Biden’s team wasted months begging Iran – Hamas’ chief funder – for favors. True patriots know you can’t negotiate with jihadists who want every Jew dead. America’s strength comes from crushing enemies, not sending pallets of cash to their sponsors.
Hamas only released Alexander after facing relentless pressure from Israel’s righteous military campaign. Terrorists don’t understand mercy – they respond to bullets, not UN resolutions. Every day Israel delays finishing Hamas puts more innocent lives at risk. Weakness invites aggression, and Biden’s failed Middle East policies have emboldened Iran’s terror network across the region.
The temporary ceasefire shows Israel’s moral courage. While global leftists demonize Jewish self-defense, Israel risks soldiers’ lives to rescue hostages and minimize civilian casualties. No other nation faces such evil attacks while being held to impossible standards. America’s media elites would rather defend Hamas rapists than support our closest Middle East ally.
Alexander’s homecoming exposes the human cost of Hamas’ brutality. This young man lost two years of his life to savage captors who tortured prisoners and used civilians as human shields. Meanwhile, campus Marxists chant “from the river to the sea” – proving they care more about hating Israel than saving actual Palestinian lives.
Conservatives celebrate this rescue but demand real consequences. Hamas still holds other hostages and remains entrenched in Gaza. Israel must complete its mission to destroy these terrorists root and branch. America should send clear support – not lecture our allies about “proportional responses” to child-killers.
The road ahead remains dangerous. Biden’s nuclear deal with Iran puts wind in Hamas’ sails. Appeasing dictators never brings peace – it just funds more rockets aimed at Jerusalem. Strong nations don’t beg tyrants for mercy. They arm their friends, crush their enemies, and keep promises to patriots like Edan Alexander.
Today we salute one American hero’s freedom. Tomorrow we must ensure no family endures this nightmare again. Destroy Hamas. Sanction Iran. Support Israel. Let the world see that courage beats cowardice every time.
