Yesterday was the 82nd anniversary of Pearl Harbor Day. On December 7th 1941, the Japanese Empire executed a surprise attack on our naval and military bases at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii killing 2403 Americans. This pernicious event caused the United States of America to enter into WWII in order to stop the totalitarian evil of Imperial Japan, Nazi Germany and fascist Italy.
Fast forward nearly 82 years and the barbaric Palestinian terrorist group Hamas conducted an unexpected attack on Israel on October 7th, 2023. Unlike Imperial Japan, Hamas’ attack of their militant terrorists targeted civilians, including women, children, and the elderly. Over 1200 people were killed in this tiny country. 240 civilian hostages were also taken back into Gaza by these thoroughly evil barbarians. This is Israel’s Pearl Harbor or 9/11 event.
Captured video from the terrorists and tales of some of the 100 released hostages tell of brutal rapes, tortures, and killings of the Israeli civilians by these sub-human terrorists. There has been video evidence of babies decapitated or put into ovens while parents watched. Wives and daughters were raped while sons and fathers were forced to watch before being killed while Hamas terrorists reveled in their butchery and debauchery.
These are the inhuman evil scum that many leftists in the Muslim world, throughout Europe, and in America champion with their “solidarity protests” in cities and on college campuses. Indeed, this week three presidents of once-renowned institutions of higher learning testified under oath on Capitol Hill their combined refusal to denounce calls for the genocide of Jews. These Hamas/Palestinian supporters are either useful idiots that are fully ignorant of the truth of the evil they support, or worse, they seek to justify it by claiming oppression of the Palestinians by Israel.
The Gaza strip has been self-governed for many years after Israel pulled out of the territory. In 2007, Hamas was elected by the Palestinian people in Gaza to govern them. The result has been near-constant rocket and terrorist attacks on Israel civilians, three wars, and crushing poverty for the Palestinian people there while the Hamas leadership becomes wealthy on foreign aid. And all the while Iran bank rolls their human rights attacks against Israeli civilians.
In all conflicts, including the current war, Israel does all it can to safe-guard erstwhile innocent human life of civilians, often at risk to their own soldiers in doing so. Indeed, they ruin strategic and tactical advantages by telegraphing where they will attack in order to allow civilians to escape the areas ahead of time.
Hamas, on the other hand, uses its own people for shields as they build their command-and-control centers underneath schools, mosques, and hospitals. If civilians are injured or killed because of this, then that is just one more club for Hamas to use against Israel. Meanwhile, Hamas uses deadly force to ensure their human shield civilians don’t run away or head to safer areas in the south of Gaza, as the Israeli government has warned them to do.
The American and other antisemite “protestors” throughout the world when they chant “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” are calling for the genocide of all Jews and the destruction of Israel, whether the realize this or not. Israel is a small country that lies between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. The so-called Palestinians claim that all of this land is theirs, despite the fact that the Jewish people have called this land home for millennia and was given to them by God in Hebrew scripture. Archeology and history only serves to confirm this.
Leftist idiots/terrorist supporters call Israeli Jews “colonizers”. How does one colonize a land to which one is indigenous, that long preceded the birth of Islam and even the term given to the Arab people in the area by the Roman Empire of “Palestinians”?
The fact of the matter is that the “Palestinian” people have never wanted peace with Israel. Israel has had peace with its neighbors of Jordan and Egypt for many decades, so it is possible when the will for peace truly exists. Israel has offered many times to make peace with the “Palestinians” in a so-called two state solution time and time again.
Indeed, during one of those many attempts at peace negotiations, President Clinton back in 2000 brought PLO leader Yasser Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak together at a Camp David Summit to discuss in supposed good faith an end to the strife and a creation of a peaceful two state solution for Israel and Palestine. Ehud Barak offered remarkable concessions to Arafat including 92% of the West Bank, 100% of the Gaza strip, dismantling of most of the Israeli settlements in the West Bank, and proclaiming East Jerusalem as the Palestinian capital.
Clinton and Barak both have claimed that in every instance, Yasser Arafat’s answer was no without a single compromise or concession being offered on his behalf, despite being offered over 90% of what the PLO was demanding. Arafat walked away from the Camp David summit accordingly. Later when asked why he did not accept what was surely an amazing deal and best offer that would likely ever come from Israel so that peace could finally be achieved, Yasser Arafat responded that if he had accepted such a peace offer from the Jews he would end up “having tea with Mussolini”. In other word his own people would kill him for settling for peace with the despised Jews.
Israel has long withstood egregious condemnation from the impotent and corrupt United Nations and much of the Muslim world for simply defending itself against virulent and pernicious evil and antisemitism. Israel has never sought to initiate war with any of its surrounding Muslim neighbors. And now that the ghoulish terrorists that the Palestinian people elected to govern them have perpetrated this horrific attack against civilian men, women and children, I think the time for forbearance and hopes of peace with the Palestinians has come to and end.
Current Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is correct and thoroughly justified in destroying every last Hamas militant still alive. Further, taking full military control of Gaza and the West Bank should be the goal to make sure such horrific actions are never done against the Israeli people again by the “Palestinians”. The “Palestinian” people have never wanted a two-state solution so believing in the fantasy that this is an achievable goal one day is pure folly.
Those Palestinian people that want to live in peace that are not members of Hamas should be allowed to live under Israeli control in a fenced off Gaza, never to have their own country. Either that or they can emigrate to any other Muslim country or any country that will accept them. There are serious ramifications and repercussions for voting for an Iranian-backed and funded terrorist organization to govern you. As for Hamas, EVERY LAST ONE OF THE EVIL TERRORISTS SHOULD BE KILLED. Not captured. Not imprisoned. They care nothing for life and goodness. They value only death, evil and depravity.
Those of you that support Hamas and the “Palestinian” people in this regard are similarly evil and need to look within your own dark soul. I want nothing to do with any of you.
The journalist Bob Lonsberry stated it well when he said, “across the Muslim world there is cheering in the streets. Because, though the furnaces of Auschwitz have gone cold, the hatred of Jews in the hearts of evil people burns white hot, as malicious and insatiable as it has ever been.” Sadly, that hatred exists in America today too, and it enrages and sickens me.
