Hostages Freed, Murderers Released: The High Cost of Peace

This week, Mike and Laureen dive into the complex aftermath of the hostage release deal between Israel and Hamas — celebrating lives saved while questioning the cost of freeing convicted murderers. They examine the troubling rise of anti-Israel sentiment and the disturbing glorification of and outpouring of support for Hamas in America, Canada, England and elsewhere. With insights from Rabbi Pincus Taylor of the American Faith Coalition and journalist Douglas Murray, the hosts explore how the war for truth is being lost in the West. They also highlight the fiery debate about who is responsible for the war between Palestinian activist Abby Martin and Israeli journalist Emily Schrader on Piers Morgan Uncensored. Plus, Mike and Laureen take a sharp look at headlines from Greta Thunberg's failed flotilla to Qatar's plans for a military training facility in the U.S. and Indonesia's sports ban on Israelis.
