Yoseph Haddad on release of Israeli hostages: Am Yisrael Chai!

Pro-Israel Arab activist Yoseph Haddad published a post celebrating the release of the three hostages today (Sunday) and thanking the IDF forces whose sacrifice made it possible.

In his post, Haddad wrote:

"Thanks. Thank you to all our warriors. Thank you to everyone who left behind family, work, and life, put on a uniform, and went into battle.

Thank you for putting yourself at risk, thank you to those who were injured in body and mind.

Thank you to all the fallen who went out to fight and bring back the kidnapped and never returned from the front. It's all thanks to you!

Only thanks to our heroic soldiers and heroines did Emily, Doron and Romy return home. thanks. Am Yisrael Chai"

Haddad also retweeted a fellow Arab who was "stunned" at MK Ayman Odeh's equating Israeli hostages with Palestinian terrorists with blood on their hands, some of it Arab, saying that:

"I am simply a shocked Arab and ashamed that this person is in the same category that is supposed to represent my public in the Knesset.

He is happy about the release of prisoners with the blood of hundreds if not thousands of Israelis (including Arabs, by the way) on his hands in exchange for poor kidnapped women who have not done a single millimeter of wrong in their lives. This is incomprehensible.

Ayman Odeh does not represent any sane Arab in the country."

Odeh himself quoted MK Ayman Odeh and sharply protested the Israeli Arab leader's moral equivalence between hostages and terrorists, saying that:

"Ayman Odeh, an Israeli MK, congratulates the release of terrorists with blood on their hands... He doesn't even hide his joy that dangerous terrorists will be released and will return to murder us!!! Shame and disgrace.

"In all the excitement we are in, we must remember that we have pathetic supporters of terror in the Knesset!"

Much of the rest of Haddad's timeline tonight is filled with more celebrations of the release of the three hostages and their reuniting with their families.
