Western media swoon as Israel releases Islamic terrorists

Western media outlets are swooning over Islamic terrorists being released by Israel in exchange for the 20 Israeli hostages captured by Hamas.
BBC: ‘Fathers, brothers and sons’ who are ‘national heroes’
President Trump has received universal praise for brokering a 20-stage deal between Israel and Hamas. Among other things, the deal requires Hamas to release all Israeli hostages. In exchange, Israel agreed to release 1,700 Palestinian criminals and terrorists, in addition to 250 others who are serving life sentences.
Such terrorists include Murad Muhammad Ridha Ahmad Abu al-Rub, who was serving four life sentences for his part in a 2006 suicide bombing that killed four Israeli civilians in the town of Kedumim. When reporting on al-Rub’s release, the BBC portrayed him as a homecoming hero, failing to mention the bombing. BBC Middle East correspondent Lucy Williamson interviewed al-Rub’s tearful sister, Aida, who sobbed: “They kidnapped my brother.”
“Aida has waited 20 years for her brother Murad to be released from Israeli jail,” Williamson sympathized. “Dozens of prisoners emerged from Red Cross buses as fathers, brothers and sons - carried in as national heroes. But Murad wasn't among them,” she added.
The pro-Hamas outlet noted that al-Rub was serving four life sentences, but did not say what for.
Ahmed Mahmed Jameel Shahada is another Palestinian prisoner who is being released despite receiving a life sentence. In 1989, Shahada, who is originally from Gaza, raped and murdered a 13-year-old Israeli boy named Oren Baharami.
Israel has also released Ali al-Sayes, who is responsible for 10 bombings throughout Israel. One bombing blew up an Israeli school bus in 2003, killing seven children.
WaPo columnist: You can’t destroy Hamas, ‘nor should you’
Media outlets like the BBC and The Guardian have refused to use the label “terrorists” for these prisoners, instead referring to them as “Palestinian detainees” and “fighters.”
They were joined by the Washington Post columnist Shadi Hamid, an Egyptian Muslim, who openly demanded Israel grant amnesty to “low-level” Hamas terrorists.
“How do you disarm Hamas – that is not quite clear how that’s to be worked out,” he told CNN anchor Brianna Keilar. “But also it’s good that in the 20-point plan there is a path for Hamas who commit to peaceful coexistence and give up their arms to get amnesty or to get safe passage out of Gaza, because at the end of the day, there are still going to be – there still will be a significant Hamas presence, so you can’t just pretend they don’t exist. And you can’t eradicate every single member of Hamas, nor should you, that would just be — that didn’t even happen, not that I like this comparison too much —”
Keilar stopped Hamid: “You say ‘nor should you.’ Your case for that is what?”
“I mean you can’t — you shouldn’t kill, like, low-level members of Hamas, people who were not implicated in October 7th,” Hamid explained, falsely claiming that October 7th was not carried out by thousands of Hamas terrorists and Gazans. “October 7th was done by a small group of senior military commanders — Israel should have the right to kill them, and has killed many of them if not most of them, right? So — but Hamas is a popular movement and there has to be some way to bring in the low-level members into the political process because you don’t want them to play spoiler.”
