Why Entebbe wouldn't be celebrated today
From celebrating the rescue of Jews to questioning whether they should have been rescued at all. Opinion
Assessment
The piece argues that the cultural and political climate has shifted so dramatically that the 1976 Entebbe rescue, once universally celebrated, would now face scrutiny over whether the hostages should have been saved at all. This reflects a deeper erosion of consensus around Jewish self-defense and the value of Jewish lives. The opinion signals a growing divide in how such operations are perceived.
