We support the Israeli government in its painful decision, taken with the knowledge that the October 7th massacre was planned and executed by Yahya Sinwar, yemach shemo vezichro, a beast who was freed from an Israeli jail in a previous prisoner swap.

We Support and We Hold Responsible


Today, the Government of Israel made one of the most morally and strategically complex and difficult decisions any group of elected officials can confront, making painful concessions to free hostages from the hands of their evil captors.

We support their decision. This support is consistent with the Orthodox Union’s long-standing policy to support the Israeli government’s positions on national security issues. We recognize and respect that this decision is based upon the primacy that the Government of Israel, the People of Israel, and the Torah of Israel place upon the infinite value of human life, a value that our enemies have not begun to embrace.

But even as we support the decision of the Government of Israel, we and all civilized people must hold responsible the many who made this terribly difficult decision necessary.

We hold responsible the Qataris whose ongoing hosting and support of the Hamas terrorists enabled them to massacre, rape, behead, and kidnap hundreds of innocents. The Qataris are part of the problem and not part of the solution.

We hold responsible the United Nations who have yet to find within themselves to unequivocally condemn the brutal massacre of October 7th, offering instead lame and ignorant presentations of context to excuse the inexcusable. The UN was created to prevent another Holocaust and has chosen instead to be its greatest promoter.

We hold responsible the politicians and NGO’s who choose to focus their concern for humanitarian behavior on the world’s most humane army as it fights a war it did not start and never wanted, instead of shining the spotlight of moral and compassionate scrutiny consistently and completely on the brutal and monstrous murderers and kidnappers of Hamas.

We hold responsible the so-called progressives who will stand up for any victim if he is not a Jew, who will prosecute rapists as long as their victims are not Israelis, who forget the friendship and allyship of the Jewish community that has stood by their side in their every struggle, and who now oppose the Jewish people’s right to defend themselves.

We hold responsible the leadership of universities who have allowed their sacred spaces of learning to become places where Jews live in fear and where there is no room on their walls and bulletin boards to display compassion for the plight of hostages taken and held in unambiguous and undebatable violation of every law of war.

We hold responsible the biased media who fan the flames of hatred and antisemitism by their hopelessly imbalanced reporting, briefly telling the story of the hostages before turning their focus to the tragic plight of a population that – while certainly including thousands of innocents – is dominated by a majority whose values reflect those of Hamas in poll after poll, who elected the terrorist government it deserves, celebrated the massacre of Israelis, seeks one judenrein state from the river to the sea, whose so-called moderate leaders continue to play to slay, and who educate their children that Jews have no place on this earth.

We support the Israeli government in its painful decision, taken with the knowledge that the October 7th massacre was planned and executed by Yahya Sinwar, yemach shemo vezichro, a beast who was freed from an Israeli jail in a previous prisoner swap.

We support the Israeli government and urge them to not let this pause in the fire provide an opportunity for Hamas to reorganize and rearm.

We support the Israeli government in this painful decision, and we hold the world responsible for their complicity in their having to make it. You have failed those men, women and children held captive and you must not allow this travesty to continue. You must not rest until each and every hostage from this conflict and from previous conflicts are returned home. You must support the Israeli army as it finishes the job of completely and totally destroying Hamas and does what is needed to ensure that the next plan for Gaza will not allow that territory to again breed the evil that the withdrawal of 2005 did.

We pray to God with all our heart that each and every one of the hostages return home safely, that they and their families find healing, and that they find their place in a welcoming world that has learned from its terrible mistakes and misjudgments and embraces a genuine love of both truth and peace, where Jews may live without fear.

  1. Remember: the Israeli government has way more information on this than we do. My assumption is that, after the Al Shifa raid didn't get them anything, the ISraelis have no idea where the hostages are and no plan to find them so this is what they have to do.
    The biggest problem will be that, after Hamas repeatedly violates the ceasefire, when Israel resumes its offensive it will be blamed for "breaking the ceasefire!"

  2. … And I also hold responsible the Israeli politicians who fired on the Altalena, who abandoned the Jewish community of the Old City of Jerusalem, who signed the Oslo accords, who vacated Gaza in one of the few if not the only acts of self-ethnic cleansing, and who made political alliances with those who have vowed to exterminate the Jewish people.

  4. For losing the little support they have in the world, when the hostages are all adults

  5. Women and kid hostages should have been non negotiable. No cease fire till every women, and kid is freed. The negotiations should be on the adults and soldiers

  6. This all would never have happened if Henry Kissassinger had not prevailed upon Nixon to force Israel to leave the Sinai.

  7. If I was the parent or relative of a hostage I would strongly disapprove of the column. It might be of interest to know the relationship of the author to Israel and or the hostages. In addition ,note the article was originally printed in The Jewish Press a longtime, loyal right wing media outlet
