Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended Israel’s strike on Hamas leaders in Qatar, comparing it to America’s pursuit of al-Qaeda after 9/11. “We remember October 7,” he declared. “That was our 9/11, and we will hunt down those who slaughter Jews wherever they hide.”
Qatar’s anger is telling. While pretending to “mediate,” Doha gives Hamas terrorists mansions, money, and protection. Netanyahu’s message was blunt: expel them or face the consequences. Israel refuses to allow a repeat of October 7, when Hamas murdered and tortured Jews in the worst massacre since the Holocaust.
Israel struck the Hamas politburo’s compound in Doha, targeting leaders with blood on their hands. Although reports vary on casualties, the operation sent a clear signal: nowhere in the world is safe for Jew-killers. President Isaac Herzog explained that Hamas commander Khalil al-Hayya was blocking a hostage deal. “He has the blood of thousands of Israelis on his hands,” Herzog said.
Critics call the strike reckless, but the hypocrisy is glaring. The world applauded America for eliminating Osama bin Laden, yet condemns Israel for pursuing Hamas masterminds. The difference? The victims are Jews.
Israel will not apologize. Just as America pursued its killers, Israel will track down every Hamas leader responsible for October 7. Whether in Gaza, Iran, or Qatar—the Jewish state will defend its people and ensure Jewish blood is never cheap again.
