President Trump told us earlier this month that there will be hell to pay if Hamas doesn't release all of the hostages.
Well, Hamas still has hostages. So, where is the hell to be paid?
Trump's talk is just that - talk.
Speaking of talk, why do Trump's envoys keep saying nice things about Hamas?
Adam Boehler had twice referred to Hamas as "nice guys" before being removed from his post a couple of weeks ago.
Now there's Steve Witkoff telling Tucker Carlson (yes, Tucker Carlson - the anti-Semite) is "not as ideologically extreme as portrayed" and open to them being "politically involved" in post-war Gaza.
Less than a month ago, Witkoff told the American Jewish Committee that Hamas cannot govern Gaza again and that is "a red line" for the Trump Administration.
Until it wasn't.
Of course, it doesn't exactly inspire confidence that Witkoff admits to being "duped" by Hamas into thinking they actually wanted a peace agreement with Israel.
If President Biden's people had talked this way about Hamas, Trump World would never let him hear the end of it.
In any case, one can only hope that Witkoff follows Boehler out the door. But even if he does who can say he won't be replaced who is even more gullible when it comes to Hamas?
