‘It’s a lie’: Megyn Kelly slams the hostage release deal between Hamas and Israel

2023-11-29 (#167)

The Megyn Kelly Show host Megyn Kelly has slammed the details surrounding the hostage release deal between Israel and Hamas.

“Each side has some children and some young people from the other side and now they’ve reached this even-steven deal to exchange them – it’s a lie,” Ms Kelly told Sky News Australia host Paul Murray.

“Israel’s hostages were taken out of their beds in the middle of the night.

“They’re civilians sleeping in the homes of their parents doing no harm to anyone … the people who just got released in the 50-person release are … not anything other than innocent civilians.

“The people who are getting released, three to one by the way because that’s the deal Israel always has to strike in order to get any of its hostages back with the Palestinians, are people who were arrested with good cause for having broken laws in Israel."

Video Transcription:

Oh, it's truly like only

Israel keeps children as prisoners.

This is some of the reporting that we're seeing and

repeating of reporting by people like Gigi Hadid out there

talking about how, you know, it's the same thing.

Each side has some children and some young

people from the other side, and now they've

reached this even Steven deal to exchange them.

It's a lie.

It's a lie.

Israel's hostages were taken out of beds

in the middle of the night.

They're civilians sleeping in the homes of

their parents, doing no harm to anyone.

That's who they pulled.

The people who just got released in the 50 person

release are 85 year olds, 84 year olds, two year

olds, three year olds, four year olds, eight year olds.

These are not anything other than innocent civilians.

The people who are getting released three to one

by the way, because that's the deal that Israel always has

to strike in order to get any of its hostages

back with the Palestinians, are people who were arrested with

good cause for having broken laws in Israel.

They were afforded a due process.

They either had trials or were about to go

through trials for doing things like attempted murder.

That's why they were in the Israeli jails.

So you can dismiss them as children all you want, but

what we really see is the poor 13-year-old and

15-year-old that were in the Israeli jail.

They're there because they committed attempted

murder by trying to stab innocent. And guess what?

It's all on camera.

Just to take one case.

None of that is reflected in the headlines or

the press reporting that we're seeing from places like

the BBC and the NPR here in America.

Never mind the worst offender, Al Jazeera, as they

cover, know, totally benign, like prisoner swap, as if

the two-year-old had been out there committing

war crimes, and that's why Hamas took him.

it's been very selective.

The people who get released, most look pretty healthy,

but we know that there are plenty of people

who were deeply injured, physically injured when they were

being taken, yet there's no proof of either if

they're alive or what condition they're in.

Instead, we're making it to seem like the people

that Hamas is releasing are people who just know.

An uncomfortable couple of weeks, but nothing bad here.

Yeah, I know.

I'm not surprised, of course, because they

don't want international inspectors to come on

site and see what they're doing.

They would love to have international inspectors come

on site and see some of their propaganda.

They're releasing video around these hostages

that is full of propaganda.

And the first tape had them

saying to the hostages, Wave. Go ahead and wave.

Wave at the camera.

So you see the hostages do that the next tape.

They were smart enough to block out the sound.

So you see the wave

without the instructions going down.

And of course, most of these people who are

prisoners have been told that the rest of the

prisoners will pay for it in blood and pain

if they say anything too derogatory about Hamas.

So they all have to be very careful upon release

so as not to hurt anybody who's still there.
