Yes, it is true: today’s hostage exchange was… very chaotic and nearly violent. And yes, there is 3,000 years of tough history to overcome.
But once again, Scott Johnson intentionally, and malignantly conflates Hamas / terrorists, with the peaceful people of Palestine — whose homes are in Gaza (or, were there, before all this savagery) and who also happen to be followers of Islam.
Scott would do well to remember that there is a straight line from Old Testament Judaism, directly into what becomes Islam. In fact, the name “Moses” appears in the Quran over 145 times… While the name Muhammad… only appears four times.
The point is that most peaceful followers of Islam have long considered the Jewish faith itself, to be at the root of their entire religion.
This “everyone in Gaza is Hamas” nonsense from Scott (and pretty regularly, from John too) is functionally the same… as (erroneously) deciding that all whyte people from the South are members of the KKK.
He needs to give it a rest.
Out.
