It’s ridiculous that the liberal media continues to play these games with Hamas. Actually, it’s a problem with liberal America writ large—we’re dealing with a terrorist group and they’re going to drag their feet on releasing hostages. We’re over 500 days into Hamas’ disastrous war with the Jewish state and they’re on the verge of annihilation. Freed hostages have been recounting harrowing tales of abuse and torture, but something changed in November 2024, as one freed hostage told CNN.
It had to do with who won the 2024 election. As soon as it was determined that Donald Trump had won his old job back, the treatment of the hostages improved remarkably for obvious reasons. Omer Shem Tov went into further detail on CNN (via NY Post):
WOW: Former Hamas hostage says the terrorists are ‘very scared’ of Trump & when he got elected his conditions improved.

Omer Shem Tov, 22, provided insight into Hamas’ political calculations as he detailed the hellish conditions he endured for more than 500 days after he was kidnapped during the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel.
“As soon as Donald Trump was elected, they understood that he wants to bring the hostages back home,” he told CNN in a new interview published Wednesday.
“So immediately the way they treated me changed … when Trump became president the way they treated us changed for me personally.”
His captors provided him with more food while they stopped cursing at and spitting on him, Shem Tov told CNN’s Bianna Golodryga.
He credited Trump for getting the hostages released as part of a cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas earlier this year.
“Before we felt like nothing is happening, and I remember ever since he came into the role, they were very scared of him,” Shem Tov said of Trump.
“They wanted Kamala to be chosen,” he said of the former vice president, citing talks he had with his captors.
Of course, because Kamala-Biden were weak, inept clowns who couldn’t do anything, our enemies knew how to outmaneuver the Biden clan, not that it takes any skill. Kamala is mentally challenged, and Joe drools in his soup. It’s astounding full-blown nuclear war didn’t erupt as the United States was rudderless for four years.
The Trump effect was felt in Gaza, deep in the tunnels of this slice of hell on Earth. Biden and the Democrats could never pull that off. They couldn’t even build a pier correctly.
