End the War in Iran by Finishing the War

 

Twenty years ago this December, I experienced a severe heart anomaly and arrhythmia that caused me to pass out, thereby falling and subsequently smacking the back of my head on the Rite Aide pharmacy floor, where I was ironically standing in line to get my heart medication.  Well, I woke up later that evening with a concussion and not knowing where I was or what had happened.  This resulted in a few days stay in the hospital and a cardioversion of my heart back into normal rhythm. 

While imprisoned in the cardiac ward, I had many family members and friends stop by to wish me a speedy recovery and to help pass the time.  One of these friends was a fellow engineer I worked with.  Imran is from Pakistan and is a devout Muslim.  He is also a cherished friend who genuinely cares about others.  Indeed, as I sat there in the hospital bed, complaining of the lack of privacy, annoying nurses just trying to do their jobs, and the horrific food, he smiled and said that he couldn’t help with all of that, but he would see what he could do.  I laughed and didn’t think any more about it until about an hour later when he came back into my hospital cell… ummm… room, with a bag from Marie Callendar’s with what at that time seemed like the best meal I have ever had.  That is just the kind of friend Imran is – always looking for ways to express kindness towards others.

I have also had the privilege of befriending other folks who happened to be Muslim in my travels throughout the Middle East.  Indeed, my friend, Waiel, dropped everything to help when my grown daughter took a wrong trail and ended way out in the desert near Petra and outside of cell coverage.  Needless to say, I was very grateful to him as he found our daughter and her friend. 

Unlike the thinking of some ignorant people, just because someone is a Muslim, does not make him or her a bad or evil person, let alone a terrorist.  That could be said of most groups or categorizations of people.  There will always be detractors in even the best intentioned of organizations. That said, there are sadly many devotees of Islam that take the Quran’s Suras to conquer, convert, or kill those that are not Muslim as a holy obligation.

When it comes to the current recently enjoined war with the terrorist regime in Iran, we are dealing with a government composed of the IRGC, extremist mullahs, and other such personnel that see jihad or holy war against the West, particularly the Great Satan of American and the lesser Satan of Israel, as a sacred obligation.  It is only by bringing chaos, war, and death to America as per their chants of the same over the last fifty years, that they hope to bring about a world-wide apocalypse and the return of the twelfth Imam, who is a messianic figure to many in the Shiite Islam sect that is governing Iran.  They are honor-bound to convert, enslave, or kill all Kafir (infidels).    

 Now this may seem ludicrous to us in the West, but that is precisely part of the problem.  We are looking at this situation through a western mindset.  We are not looking at it from our enemy’s mindset.  It does not matter what we believe.  It only matters that the Iranian terrorists governing this amazing country believe this – to the death.  Further, death for them in jihad as a martyr guarantees them a place in paradise with Allah.  They do not fear death and revere life as we do in the west.  To negotiate with them with the assumption that they do is foolish in the extreme.

America and Israel have already eliminated the top tiers of the regime’s leadership, their air force, navy, missiles and means of production, and most of their command-and-control functions, and yet they still insist that they will have a nuclear bomb and are not willing to negotiate that away.  Why would this regime need a nuclear weapon STILL after all the carnage and decimation suffered?  Logic would dictate that it is only because they have every intention of using it against America and Israel.  Left to their own devices, they will do so.  This is not even a question. 

Obama and Biden’s ridiculous “negotiations” and JCPOA treaty while providing $1.7 billion in dollars to the largest state sponsor of terrorism was abjectly foolish at best and borderline treasonous at worst. They either foolishly believed in the veracity of the regime in their negotiations, despite their NEVER having lived up to any past agreements, or they simply did what was most politically expedient. 

The term “taqiyya” is the Islamic tactic of lies, deceit, and full-blown disinformation campaigns, specifically prescribed in the Quran and by generations of Islamic clerics as the preferred means of gaining the upper hand over an enemy, particularly in war.  Iran has considered themselves at war with us since the overthrow of the Shah of Iran 47 years ago.  They have no scruples in lying to us in negotiations to prolong the ceasefire and procure other strategic advantages.  This is what they did with Obama and the JCPOA.  They continued to enrich uranium despite vowing not to do so past certain limits.  Obama evidently did not care.

Now, I understand President Trump wanting to eliminate all options before re-engaging in war.  That is part of just war doctrine.  War has to be used as a final resort when all other paths have been eliminated, and only used in the service of a greater good, such as protecting innocent lives in the west and freeing the subjugated innocent Iranian citizens under the regime’s cruel governance. 

That said, negotiations with this ghoulish and evil regime are pointless and fruitless.  Unlike the rantings of many ignorant Americans, this was not a “war of choice” but an existential threat to our ally Israel, a nation the size of New Jersey, and to America itself.  If we had not intervened, Iran would have shortly possessed a nuclear weapon and the holy obligation to use it.  Unlike nations of the west, they could not be bargained with.  This would be a tool that would be used to fulfill their twisted version of Islamic prophecy.  Iran was already at war with America.  We finally, after nearly half a century of the killing of our people, responded to this provocation of war.

At this point, the Islamic terrorist regime governing Iran cannot be negotiated with to form a lasting peace.  Even if they proclaim otherwise, it is simply a taqiyya tactic used to lull us back into a falsely peaceful status quo.  Make no mistake though.  They will continue to reconstitute their nuclear weapons program regardless of any treaties made.  We MUST not give them another lifeline yet again.

It is because of this and after much research, thought, and prayer that I have come to the thoroughly considered opinion that President Trump needs to finish this war once and for all.  We need to remove all of the nuclear material in Iran’s possession and eliminate any of the regime that shows us any resistance.  Anything less will simply be little more than kicking the can of nuclear war down the road.

We should therefore use overwhelming asymmetrical force in capturing Kharg Island and the Iranian port there and reopen the Strait of Hormuz for unfettered freedom of navigation on international waterways for all peaceful nations yet again.  Further, we should send all necessary troops, technicians, air support, and logistics support necessary to retrieve all nuclear material from Iran.  We should further provide wireless internet access to the people of Iran and destroy the regime’s ability to block it so that the citizens know what is happening and perhaps foster a final uprising for their freedom.  This can be done technologically by several means.

Regardless, the end of this evil regime must come to an end and it is morally incumbent upon America to ensure that this comes to pass.  Untold innocent lives hang in the balance of this decision.  We cannot afford to get this one wrong or someday the unimaginable WILL HAPPEN.  This war must be finished for the sake of a lasting and true peace, and for the innocent Muslims living under the shadow of such dire oppression.

The Long-Awaited End of the Islamic Republic of Iran

 

My cousin was working in Iran in November of 1979 for Bell Helicopter.  On 11/4/1979, radical Shia Iranians stormed the U.S. embassy in Tehran capturing 66 American hostages. My cousin was similarly held hostage in a Tehran hotel by these gun toting terrorists as they rounded up westerners in the country.  The birth of the radical Islamic theocracy was at hand.  With the help of  local friends, my cousin was able to make an escape from Iran in the back of a van, hiding beneath Persian rugs.  To this day, he has nightmares about the event.  Unfortunately, the hostages in the embassy were not as lucky, as they were held for 444 days and were only released due to Iranian trepidation as the new Reagan administration was ushered into office. 

Brutal governance, enforcement, and punishment under Sharia law as instructed by the new supreme leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini was now in effect, as their hatred for the west in general and Israel and the United States in particular would help to shape the Middle East and indeed the entire world for the next 47 years.

A few years later in 1983, Lebanon was deteriorating into civil war, with Iranian proxies right in the middle of the mess.  The UN sent a multi-national peace keeping force to the region in order to prevent things from further devolving.  Islamic militants funded and supported by the Islamic Republic of Iran in April of that year drove a truck bomb in front of the U.S. embassy in Beirut, killing 63 people, many of whom were Lebanese employees.  Emboldened by the lack of a significant response, on October 23, 1983 the Iranian proxy, Islamic Jihad, crashed the outer defenses and drove an even larger truck bomb into the Marine peacekeepers’ barracks at the Beirut airport utterly obliterating the building and killing 220 Marines, 18 sailors, 3 soldiers, and 6 civilians early on a Sunday morning.  In another coordinated attack at the same time, the French peacekeeping forces had their barracks similarly attacked killing 58 French soldiers.  President Reagan’s lack of a forceful and meaningful response is one of the few times I was sorely disappointed with his leadership.  I was a senior in high school that year and was already contemplating joining the military upon graduation.

In the years and decades to come, the evil Islamic Republic of Iran could always be found stoking chaos and killing those that the regime deemed enemies of their brutal regime.  Iran has been instrumental in providing weaponry, training, and funding for evil proxy organizations that were ghoulishly happy to do their bidding.  Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis in Yemen have long targeted Israel, most especially civilian targets in that tiny nation the size of New Jersey.  Of course, this culminated in the horrific Hamas attack on Israeli civilians on October 7^th, 2023 killing over 1200 people and taking 48 hostages, including Americans. 

Iran has also supported Islamic militias in Iraq and Afghanistan with weaponry and expertise in building IEDs and other such bombs to maim and kill American military personnel in the region. 

The Islamic Republic of Iran has been responsible for the deaths of untold thousands of Israelis, Americans, and other innocent people since their inception worldwide.  The evil regime has also killed thousands of its own people as they have risen up against the evils of the Ayatollah and his murderous thug enforcers.  By credible counts the latest massive uprising in January of this year of Iranian protesters resulted in the murder of more than 30,000 Iranian citizens.

President Trump, despite his faults, has worked tirelessly in the Middle East to bring peace.  He has been remarkably successful with historic triumphs as many countries have agreed to peace by signing on to the Abraham accords.  Iran has run counter to that desire for peace.

They have continued to build and improve upon their missiles, hoping to achieve a long-range ICBM capable of hitting the “Great Satan” of the United States.  They already possess short and medium range missiles that can and do hit Israel, and can hit parts of Europe.  The Iranian regime continues to fund terrorism and even has provided weaponry and drones to Putin in his quest to re-build the former Soviet empire by first reacquiring Ukraine in that protracted unprovoked war.

Each U.S. President over the last 47 years has fretted what to do to contain Iran.  Obama and Biden thought that they could make a deal with Iran by sending $1.7 billion dollars in cash to the evil republic and to ease sanctions.  They thought such appeasement might buy good will with the mullahs there and thus have a strong Iran as a counter foil to the Sunni Islamic nations in the region.  Of course, this didn’t work, as any Middle East expert could have predicted.  Iran continued to enrich uranium to build a nuclear weapon as they worked feverishly to develop an ICBM capable of carrying such a deadly payload to U.S. shores.  Indeed, “Both the Iranian negotiators said to us directly with, you know, no shame, that they controlled 460 kilograms of 60% [enriched uranium],” Steve Witkoff told Fox News host Sean Hannity, “and they’re aware that that could make 11 nuclear bombs, and that was the beginning of their negotiating stance.”

Trump has repeatedly tried to negotiate in good faith to create a deal where Iran would stop such work on nuclear weaponry and missile creation, all to no avail.  Because of the regime’s intransigence and absolute refusal to give up these programs, despite the U.S./Israeli attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities last June with operation Midnight Hammer, an ultimatum had to be made if the regime continued to refuse to make an acceptable deal to the rest of the world.  The consequences of allowing this murderous regime to acquire a nuclear weapon is unthinkable. 

The radical Shia as led by the now-recently deceased Ayatollah Ali Khamenei never had any intention of abiding by any deal with the U.S., had one been reached, as they have repeatedly proven over the decades.  They simply went through the motions of negotiating as a delaying tactic, much as Putin has done in his war with Ukraine.

These radical Shia Islamists believe the 12^th Imam, Muhammad al-Mahdi Born in 868, who is a messiah-like figure to them will come again to restore “justice” to the world.  al-Mahdi is believed to have gone into a state of “occultation” in 874 A.D., meaning Allah miraculously caused him to “disappear.” Still alive, the 1,155-year-old Muhammad al-Mahdi is patiently biding his time to return and usher in the takeover of the Muslim and eventually entire world.

While such traditions may seem silly or harmless enough to westerners, Mahdism poses a serious, though vastly overlooked, threat to international security, primarily because its current articulation as propagated in Iran requires its adherents to take “proactive” steps to help usher in the Mahdi, most notably by initiating an “apocalyptic” showdown with the “greater” and “lesser” Satans, namely, America and Israel.  For a faith that teaches that to die as a martyr for Allah by killing western infidels is glorious, they have no compunction, let alone fear, of killing millions in order to bring back their messiah.  THIS is why ignoring the Islamic Republic of Iran and trying to make some meaningless deal with them is nothing short of ignoring an existential threat to Israel, the U.S., and indeed to the entire world.

Trump has so far insisted that the main objective of Epic Fury is to remove the capability of Iran to create missiles and a nuclear weapon.  Israel’s decapitation of the Islamic leadership has further given the people of Iran a chance to finally stand up and govern themselves as they choose.  This will not be a U.S. troops boots-on-the-ground nation building exercise.  It is incumbent upon the Iranian people to form their own government now – one that will hopefully decide to live as a peaceful member nation of the world. 

The fact that hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of displaced Iranians in America, Canada, Europe, and throughout the world are celebrating the demise of this evil regime while thanking America and Israel for eliminating this grave threat to world peace should be telling in and of itself.  It seems that primarily only leftists and those that hate America, but then I repeat myself, think that the attack on Iran was wrong and evil.

Those that clutch their pearls and criticize American and Israeli actions on this either don’t know and understand the history with Iran and the evil that the regime has perpetrated, or they simply hate Trump more than they love their own country.  Often times I think both are factors.  As for me and some of the brothers that I served with that understand the cost of appeasing and ignoring Iran’s terrorism, this week is a very good one where the world is now a much safer place and the Iranian people can finally choose to be free once again.  The world’s largest supporter of terrorism, as our own State Department has long stated, will soon finally be no more.  I pray that this will also give me cousin some long-awaited sense of peace.

Evolution Needs a Miracle - Without a Creator

 

 Evolution Needs a Miracle — Without a Creator?

Inside every living cell are proteins folded into precise three-dimensional shapes that allow life to function. Even a “typical” protein is built from a specific sequence of amino acids, chosen from 20 different types, arranged in an exact order. The number of possible combinations is astronomically large.
Laboratory studies show that only a tiny fraction of random amino-acid sequences fold into stable, functional proteins. Most sequences simply don’t work. This raises an important scientific question: how did the first coordinated systems of proteins arise before life could replicate, adapt, or evolve?
What makes this challenge even more striking is that cells don’t rely on a single protein. Even the simplest known cells require hundreds of proteins working together at the same time—like parts in an integrated machine. Without all the essential components present and functioning, the system fails.
For comparison, physicists estimate the observable universe contains about 10⁸⁰ atoms. When biological probabilities are placed alongside physical limits, many researchers argue that blind chance alone struggles to account for life’s origin.
This doesn’t “disprove” evolution—but it does highlight a gap between what random processes can easily explain and what we actually observe in biology. The remarkable organization, information content, and coordination found in life continue to raise thoughtful questions about whether undirected processes are the whole story.

Curiosity, not dogma, is how science moves forward.

President Trump and the Leftist Foolishness of the No Kings Rallies

 

“The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so.”   ~ Ronald Reagan 

Ronald Reagan made that ironically amusing observation in his speech “A Time for Choosing” on October 27 of 1964 in support of Barry Goldwater’s presidential campaign. Nearly 61 years later, nothing has seemingly changed.

Well… other than the fact that there are darned few liberals left in America, as most of them have been transmogrified into leftists.  There is a distinct difference between leftists and liberals.  Old-fashioned liberals proclaimed to be for the average person and still supported what they thought was best for the country.  Leftists today despise this nation and what they erroneously think it now stands for today.  They are for radical fringe causes and self-identified “oppressed” groups. One can have an intelligent conversation with a liberal and perhaps even find some common ground on which you both can agree.  This is not so with leftists.  They don’t want to debate.  They want to shout down and intimidate anyone that has the temerity to disagree with them.  You know you have won the argument with a leftist when they resort to calling you a Nazi and spouting other ad hominem attacks.

This often occurs in academia or on college campuses, or in “mostly peaceful protests” that seldom are.  Now, don’t get me wrong.  I fully support every American, including the ignorant and indoctrinated, to exercise their right of free speech – as long as it doesn’t incite vandalism, violence, or the obstruction of other citizens and first responders to go about their tasks.

The latest non-sensical illustration of leftism run-amuck can be seen in any one of the “No Kings” rallies this past weekend.  The irony of these myriad leftists accusing conservatives of the very thing that their leftist politicians are factually guilty of having done is the very definition of a “lack of self-awareness”.  From weaponizing lawfare, to curbing and doxing free speech, to stifling the democratic process, these leftists are far more guilty than anything the Trump administration has ever attempted to do; this includes their lawlessness and corruption.  Just ask the "Big Guy".

Evidently, they STILL fail to realize that Kamala was appointed the presidential nominee for the Democrat Party without a single solitary vote cast for her in a primary.  And this occurred all the while that these same leftists worked non-stop in some states to try and remove the Republican candidate for president from state ballots.  So, who are the defenders of Democracy?  It sure as hell isn’t the left. 

Now I can understand the frustration some folks have with President Trump.  Indeed, I did not even vote for him the first time he ran against the congenitally corrupt liar Hillary.  (I voted for the Constitution Party candidate.) I have voted for Trump since though, as I have seen the good that he has done for our country far outweighing the bad.

And unlike most leftists, I am able to criticize Trump when I think he has gone astray.  Including by notifying the White House and my Congress critters when I disagree with him and them.  This was something that was never done by the left regarding the dementia-addled and corrupt puppet that was the head of the Biden crime family. 

What are the things I disagree upon with President Trump, you ask?

Well let’s list a few.

1.      1. Trump stated that he wanted to use regular military troops to safeguard some cities and even use it for “training”.  While it is tragically and disgustingly wrong that leftist mayors refuse to fight crime in their own towns to the detriment of their own constituents, I think it is an exceptionally bad idea, and illegal to boot as per the posse comitatus law, to deploy the military to keep the peace in our cities simply because of high crime rates.  This does NOT negate the lawful need to deploy limited National Guard troops to protect federal facilities and employees when blue city politicians refuse to do so.

2.      2. Trump in his trade negotiations with China has still allowed hundreds of thousands of visas for Chinese students to enter our universities.  As each student is typically a tool and required by the CCP to report on their R&D in such places back to China, I think this is a huge national security issue.  I cannot fathom what Trump is thinking here.  Its not like you see Chinese nationals are enrolling to learn about gender studies here. 

3.      3. Qatar.  It was foolish to accept the plane from the Qataris.  Further, it is dangerous to allow them to bring their jets into our country and train with our military.  Qatari leadership has been supportive of the Muslim Brotherhood and has offered safe haven to the Hamas terrorist leaders in their country, not that this stopped the brave Israelis from hunting them down anyway.  Regardless, we should not be in an alliance with Qatar, let alone allowing them limited access to a military base here.

4.      4. Trump was actually mad that Israel went after the Hamas leaders that orchestrated the October 7^th attacks in Qatar.  He should have been applauding the Israelis and providing intelligence and support in tracking down these terrorists.

5.      5. The Trump administration has or is allowing the exploitation of valuable natural resources in some of our most precious and unique public lands that are either adjacent to some national parks or other protected areas without requiring full due diligence of the environmental impact of doing so.

6.      6. Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump slammed the door shut on Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria, Israel’s biblical heartland and the disputed territory the world has labeled the “West Bank.” In an emphatic, unequivocal, and unqualified declaration, the president exclaimed: “I will not allow Israel to annex the West Bank. No, I will not allow it. It’s not going to happen.” This is ISRAELI land and should not be handed over to terrorists and their supporters whom work towards the destruction of neighboring Israel.

7.      7. And then there is Trump’s penchant for childish behavior.  I expect the President of the United States to act with dignity and decorum at all times as he represents us and our nation.  I understand that the left is just begging to be trolled and put back in their cribs because of their infantile behavior, but it is very unbecoming for the president or his administration to do so in a juvenile manner, as happens way too often.

Now despite these issues I have with Trump, I still feel that the good that he has done in securing our borders and routing out illegal and sometimes dangerously criminal elements from our nation is a very good and necessary thing.  He has refocused and is rebuilding our military to its primary purpose of defending our nation and its interest by being more lethal and mission oriented instead of a DEI social experiment.  He has helped to foster peace in many places throughout the world that the left either ignored or said couldn’t be accomplished. 

The Abraham Accords in particular have been a stupendous success and undoubtedly would have garnered a Nobel Prize for any other president if they had orchestrated such success and had a “D” behind their name.  Trump has also started curbing the Biden inflation rates and is restoring our economy.  401K’s are rising once again for the millions of middle-class people that depend on them for retirement.  And he is cutting out so much waste, fraud and abuse from the government.  Granted, if I were the KING, I would slash every single item in the budget that was not explicitly authorized by the constitution. 

Perhaps I am simply more conservative than Trump, or my favorite president Reagan for that matter.  You see, I was NEVER a Democrat.

Yes, Trump can be frustrating and sometimes takes stances on issues that seem to be contrary to good governance and common sense as I noted above; however, He is doing an overall masterful job of repairing the damage of the socialist dystopia and the soul crushing policies that the leftist regime of the auto-pen Biden administration had championed.  That is the real monarchy that a classical liberal should be rallying against!  A leftist never will, of course.

The "Recognition" of a Palestinian State and Rise of Nazism's Evil Again

 

When I was a young teenager, I was given a great opportunity to travel with a school group to the Netherlands.  Of all of the various sites we saw, one that still sticks vividly with me to this day is the house where Anne Frank and her family stayed for two years along with another Jewish family, the Van Pels, in a hidden upstairs annex concealed behind a book case during World War II.  They were forced to hide there as the Nazis were rounding up Jews and sending them off to concentration camps as part of their “final solution” where six million Jews and enemies of Hitler died.  

Unfortunately, Anne and her family were eventually discovered and sent to concentration camps where they also perished.  Sadly, only her father, Otto Frank, survived. 

I have seen too much evil in my life but having seen this is one of my earlier moments in life where I intellectually discovered the extent of such evil in the world.  It is part of the reason why I am impatient and indeed sickened by indoctrinated or ignorant people carelessly or casually throwing around the term “Nazi” at political opponents.

Ironically this is a particularly common practice for the ignoramuses and useful idiots that champion the causes of the Nazi-heirs of today, “the Palestinians”. 

After World War II the state of Israel was re-created once again in the historical homeland of the Jews given to them by God in the Old Testament.  Indeed, the Israeli areas of Judea and Samaria, which the Jordanians renamed “the West Bank” after they captured the territory in one of their endless wars against Israel, now have the modern-day “Palestinians” claiming this area as their own land, despite it being rich with Jewish history. 

This land is where most of the major events recorded in Scripture took place. Indeed, some 90% of place names mentioned in the Bible are located here. It’s a land with a rich Jewish history where you’ll find these well-known biblical sites:

    Hebron - where Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are buried.

    Jericho - conquered by Joshua when its walls fell down.

    Shiloh - where Israel worshipped God at the tabernacle for 369 years.

    Shechem - where Joseph is buried on land purchased by Jacob.

    Bethel - traditional site of Jacob's dream.

    Bethlehem - birthplace of Jesus Christ.

And yet the “Palestinians” deceitfully and inaccurately claim this is their historical homeland.  Indeed, they demand that Israel be cleansed of Jews “from the river to the sea” for this land to be “rightfully” returned to them. 

Did you know that Hebrew is the world’s oldest still-spoken language? Extrabiblical modern archaeology proved this point with the discovery of several artifacts, including the Geza Calendar, the Zayit Stone, and the Qeiyafa Ostracon, all found in various sites across Israel. Science has dated each of these artifacts to the 10th century before Christ (1,000-901 B.C.).  No other language still commonly spoken on this planet dates back so far.

Furthermore, these ancient artifacts also prove another important fact, separate from the Bible; each of these tablets has a reference to JHWH or Yahweh - God of the Old Testament. This makes Judaism the oldest still-practicing religion on earth.

To put this in biblical perspective, 1050-930 B.C. was the era of Kings Saul, David and Solomon. And of course, we know from Old Testament history, rabbinic Jewish tradition, and other extrabiblical historic sources that the Hebrew language and religion existed long before King Saul’s time or these ancient artifacts.

Do you know what archaeology has not found? Any reference to “Palestinians” prior to the mid-1960s.  Sure, the ancient Romans renamed Israel to insult the Jews, and the British mandate kept that name. However, even during those times, Arabs NEVER identified as or called themselves “Palestinian.” Instead, Arabs living in the Holy Land referred to themselves as either Jordanians or Syrians.  The term "Palestinian” did not arise until the Arabs re-invented the term in the mid-1960s as a political ploy to try to eradicate Jews from their own historical homeland.  Jordan lost possession and control of Judea and Samaria in 1967, after Arab nations tried and failed to seize all of Israel but, irrationally, the “West Bank” name stuck.

In 1964, the Arab League met to conspire to eliminate Israel and the Jews. Thirteen of Israel’s enemies to include the United Arab Republic (Egypt and Syria), Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Yemen Arab Republic, Libya, Sudan, Morocco, Tunisia, Kuwait, and Algeria, met for the evil goal of destroying Israel and taking the land as their own.

The Arab League formed what they called the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), renamed the Arabs living in Israel as “Palestinians,” and set about accomplishing their singular goal of taking over Israel.

Fast-forward 60 years, and anti-Semitic Arabs continue with their same tricks. They demand a “Palestinian State,” and they continue to insist that all of Israel is theirs “from the (Jordan) river to the (Mediterranean) sea.” There is no room for Jews in their genocidal plan or “their land”.

To this day, Arab children even of kindergarten age are taught that Jews are demons. School plays have children dress in suicide bomb jackets and pretend to cut Jewish throats to prepare for future “martyrdom.” The result is generations of psychopaths, and its fruit can be seen on October 7, 2023, and even in the “pro-Palestine” protests still happening across the globe, including here in our own United States colleges and Universities.

Israel has wanted only to live in peace in their historical and ancestral homeland.  They have negotiated in good faith for decades to this end.  Indeed, Israel has even already tried a prototype two-state solution.

In 2005, Israel agreed to give up its land on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea to the “Palestinians” in exchange for peace. Over a period of two months, the Israelis forced every Jew out of the Gaza Strip and turned it over to the Palestinian Authority (formerly known as the Palestine Liberation Organization, a known terrorist group). Even Jewish families who had farmed that land since time immemorial were evicted from their homes and land. The Israeli government turned the area over to the “Palestinian” Arabs, believing this two-state solution would bring peace. To this day, under Israeli law, it is illegal for a Jew to enter the territory.

Over the last two decades, the “Palestinians” in Gaza destroyed the farms and greenhouses the former Israeli residents had left behind. Instead, they built tunnels to move terrorists into Israeli territory and imprison Jewish hostages. The “Palestinian” people in Gaza continue to elect Hamas as their leadership in every election, and they educate their children to become martyrs. Those same tunnels built by “Palestinian” terrorists still hold Jewish hostages from the October 7, 2023, massacre to this day.  Every single time the “Palestinians” have been offered a permanent two-state solution they have soundly rejected the idea. They want Israel to be theirs and theirs alone.  There is no room, nor will there ever be, for compromise.

Now, on Monday September 22, 2025, the United Kingdom set off a landslide designed to all but eradicate the world’s only Jewish state of Israel. The UK in the guise of the corrupt, incompetent, and impotent United Nation world body formally recognized a “state” that has no borders, nor a single mention in all of human history, and no leaders other than scattered Hamas terrorists.  Unfortunately, when the U.K. decided to recognize the so-called “Palestinian state”, other cowardly and ignorant nations followed suit, including France, Canada, Australia, Belgium, and Portugal.  As of right now, 157 U.N. member nations (81% of the international body) now recognize a “Palestinian state”.

Right now, there are only 34 U.N. member nations, including Germany, Italy, and Japan, (ironically the old Axis Powers of WWII) that have NOT recognized this terrorists’ fairy tale of a country.  In other words, the UN has voted to support a two-state solution that defies history and logic.  Luckily as a permanent member of the UN security council, the US can and must use its veto power to stop this evil perpetration of a terrorist regime to gain its own nation. 

In the interim, the U.N. has already passed a measure declaring it is the intent of the international body to divide the land God gave Israel to “create” this state that never existed, despite the fact that Hamas continues to hold Jewish hostages in Gaza tunnels for 1 year, 11 months, and 23 days since the October 7, 2023 massacre.

This ignorant and evil accord of the U.N. and its anti-Israel member nations have taught Hamas that terror will be rewarded. All a terror organization needs to do is kill 1,200 innocent women, children, and elderly people, and the U.N. will apparently relent and give the terrorist organization what it wants. 

It is telling that the “Palestinian” people in Gaza are so barbaric and unwilling to behave as civilized, peaceful human beings that even surrounding Arab countries like Egypt and Jordan REFUSE to take these murderous people into their own countries.

The “Palestinian” people in Gaza have had 20 years to live up to their land-for-peace deal with Israel. Yet for two decades, they have refused to live up to their end of the bargain. “Palestinians” continue to hold 50 Jews hostage in the tunnels beneath Gaza, 20 of whom are still, but barely, alive.

It is these ghoulish anti-Semitic “Palestinians” and their useful idiots throughout the world that wish for and work to bring to fruition the genocide of the Jewish race.
