The Hostages: The Media Gets It Wrong

When the news broke in Israel, about the execution of six hostages, it seemed like the public was split in half over Netanyahu’s policy to retain the Philadelphi Corridor. That picture, Mike and Gadi argue, is distorted in more than one way: There was no deal to accept or reject; the Philadelphi Corridor is not the main point of contention; Israel is not equally split between the two positions; the Gallant, Gantz, and Eisenkot game plan is more complicated than it seems; and the “Never Bibi” crowd just suffered a strategic defeat with the collapse of its attempt at a massive protest and a general strike.

Plus: Tucker Carlson, Darryl Cooper, and the rising tide of antisemitism on the American right.
