When a Barbary pirate named Raisuli took an American citizen named Perdicaris hostage in 1904, U.S. Secretary of State John Hay sent a telegram to Moroccan officials with a fairly short notice. It began with this warning: “Perdicaris alive or Raisuli Dead.”
I don’t doubt, given what they have already done, that the Hamas operatives who took Israeli hostages will have no compunction murdering them. I also have no doubt that those operatives are dead men walking, and that’s ok with me.
