Guess Who Democratic Leaders’ Statements on Trump’s Peace Deal Don’t Mention

The same deal that reunites families also reopens wounds that never healed

. . . "Because for every hostage who steps into the light, a terrorist steps out of the darkness. And as much as we celebrate this moment, we can’t pretend it comes without consequence. The return of life is always sacred but the release of evil is never without cost.. . . "

There is so very much more on this that I could use that will use to stifle the celebration, but MSNBC, "The View" and the media of all hours will happily do that. The Tunnel Dweller. 

To Bring Hostages Home, Israel Pays Very Steep Price  . . . "All of this will occur after Hamas releases 20 living hostages, 26 deceased hostages, and two hostages “whose lives there is grave concern.”
