The Victor Davis Hanson Show
A Swing and a Hit: DOGE and Diplomacy

They just want the Israelis to take care of it. And so what is he going to do to get the hostages? I mean, you can bomb the rubble more, right? Or you can send special forces to take out the Hamas, what's left of the Hamas leadership. But all they would be doing is asking the Israelis who they are. The Israelis know much better than we are. So basically you're saying to Netanyahu, do what you want.

And maybe he should. But then Netanyahu knows that he has restrictions. It's not Hamas. It's public opinion, the hostage family. And Hamas, why is Hamas metering them out? Because let's be honest, they have killed a lot of hostages. The ones that have survived have said they were beaten, tortured, starved.

It's kind of ironic to hear from the UN and all the leftists how starved the Palestinians are. And every time I see a picture of Hamas people or Palestinians in Gaza, they look pretty well fed. And when I look at the hostages, they look like Holocaust victims. The only people being starved were the hostages. But they don't have a lot of hostages. They've let some go.

I don't know what they say, 80 or something. I'm under the unfortunate impression that a lot of them are dead. So in their mind... you're going to do this for over a year. So you let out one, and then you just say, the Israelis did that. They broke this. They violated that. And that goes on like you're buying a rug from them. And then maybe in three months, they let another one out.

And then they've got it metered out so they can maybe survive two or three more years until the new Hamas people are armed and they're back at it. And at some point, An Israeli leader is going to have to say, you know what, this is, I'm going to have to stop this. And not all the hostages are, he's going to have to try to rescue them.

They've never had none of the European countries. I mean, they invented free speech in the European Enlightenment, or maybe you could say the Greeks did. They had a word for it, isegoria, that you had an equal opportunity to speak out in the assembly. But the thing about it is they have no First Amendment. They have no Bill of Rights. So they have...
