Congressman Louie Gohmert lays it out.
“LOUIE GOHMERT: How Western Pressure On Israel Led To The Brutal Hamas Massacre,” by Louie Gohmert, Daily Caller, October 23, 2023:
You have heard about the barbaric attacks on Israel. You have heard about Israel’s response to the horrors of those attacks. You have heard purported Jewish protestors at the U.S. Capitol demanding a ceasefire now! You have heard reports that the U.S. provided Iran funds to make the attack possible. You have heard the defense that the United States did not “give” the money to Iran, but simply made it available for them to spend.
Story continues below advertisementWhat you have not heard is how the radical Islamic jihadist group, Hamas, was ever in a position to make such a diabolical and sadistic attack on innocent civilians in Israel. Now you will.
As a result of the 1967 Six-Day War, Israel took control of what is referred to as the Gaza Strip. With Israeli military in place in Gaza and Israelis feeling safe enough to live in Gaza, Jewish residences increased as did greenhouses, manufacturing and other places of business, which actually provided jobs, food and provisions locally in Gaza. That included providing jobs for Palestinians there as well. Though tensions continued, the Israel military’s presence provided some stability as well as intelligence regarding potential threats emanating from the area.
With pressure from the Clinton administration, Israel agreed to the Oslo Accords in which the Palestinians did not give up anything significant with which they would comply. However, in trying to demonstrate good faith efforts at achieving peace, Israel on the other hand gave up some control within Gaza, agreed to the creation of the Palestinian Authority, and among other outcomes, the leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization, Yasser Arafat, was allowed to live and lead Fatah and the PLO from within Gaza. Many attribute the creation of Hamas to the alleged corruption of Arafat and the PLO in Gaza.
Under the banner of “No good deed goes unpunished,” while Israeli businesses provided economic benefit to Gaza, the increased Palestinian control brought increased tensions and violent threats to Israel’s safety.
In 2005, again Israel faced mounting pressure from its western allies to do something truly monumental and unilateral without getting anything significant in return. The idea was that if Israel took an extraordinary unilateral action to supposedly benefit Palestinians, the world would finally know for sure that Israel was fully committed to peace in the Middle East. That action was for the Israeli government to force all Jewish residents in Gaza to abandon their homes, their businesses, the huge greenhouses, the manufacturing and turn it all over to Palestinians for their total control. Israel gave full authority to the Palestinians in Gaza, which allowed for the strengthening of Hamas and the increasing of violence against Israel.
In their hatred for Jews, Palestinians destroyed the greenhouses and many of the businesses that could have been a great source of assistance to them. But their hatred for Israelis overcame good sense that would have taken over the businesses and gardens instead of destroying them. The unilateral gift to the Palestinians of complete Palestinian occupation and control of Gaza resulted in the ongoing rocket attacks into Israel that seek to terrorize, destroy and kill Israelis.
Had Israel never been pressured into unilaterally walking away from Gaza in order to show Israelis’ unequivocal commitment to peace, the horrors of the most recent attacks could not have happened without prior discernment by Israeli intelligence and certainly not on such a barbaric level.
Keep in mind that leftist control of most universities and media have indoctrinated many younger Americans into believing that any problem in the Middle East is the direct result and fault of Israel. They have also minimized the most horrific genocide in world history, the Holocaust, and its murder of over six million Jews. Some now have been taught to doubt it ever happened. Some Palestinians say outright that it did not happen. But it did. That is what led to overwhelming sympathy to prevent antisemitism from ever growing to the point that another genocide of Jews could happen again….

6 months agoBut think about what ideas, what moral code, is at the heart of all this self-sacrifice, and sacrifice? All this self-denial and self-immolation? All this pity and mercy for the UNDERSERVING and the UNEARNED by the UNDERSERVING?
It is the moral code of ALTRUISM. A moral code which is in fact evil, but mankind has accepted as the highest and most noble virtue. What is the antithesis of altruism? Ayn Rand’s moral code for living and flourishing on earth – RATIONAL SELFISHNESS. Self-preservation requires rational selfishness.
“Should you be just? To the contrary, altruism insists that you treat people with mercy, rather than justice. If others are guilty of some wrongdoing, you should offer them absolution, not judgement. Treat them with pity in place of censure. Deal with people based not on what they deserve but on what they NEED.
Altruism’s attitude toward moral principles is sharply illustrated by the following. Some years ago, the campus of New York’s Stonybrook State University became the target of numerous fires, resulting in several million dollars of damage. It turned out that the fires were set by one of the university’s own fire marshals — who had previously been imprisoned for ARSON. While it is not clear whether anyone at the school knew of his criminal record at the time he was hired — he supposedly left blank the line on the application form that asked about criminal history — the university’s chief fire marshal said such knowledge would have made no difference in the hiring decision: “We couldn’t refuse him; that would be discrimination.” That is, it would have been UNALTRUISTIC for the university to be concerned about its own interests in keeping students and faculty safe from dangerous felons. It would have been unaltruistic to treat a criminal as a criminal, since the paramount consideration is supposed to be, not his character, but his acute need for the job.
An even more egregious example occurred at the Honeywell Corporation in Minnesota. There, an employee strangled to death a co-worker, his girlfriend, and was sent to prison for four-and-a-half years. Several weeks after his release the company took him back — only to have him murder another co-worker, who was spurning his romantic overtures. Explaining the decision to re-employ him, a Honeywell spokesman said: “The philosophy we have is that we don’t discriminate when it comes to hiring practices.”
It is true that employers may fear being sued for illegal discrimination if they reject such applicants. But the legal constraints themselves are simply the manifestation of altruism, of its mandate that we SACRIFICE everything, including our moral principles, for the sake of someone in need.” – “In Defense of Selfishness: Why the Code of Self-Sacrifice is Unjust and Destructive” by Peter Schwartz
6 months agoThis is a good article. Thanks Congressman Louie Gohmert
A Lamb in a trap.
I am not important and I have nothing left to lose, so I can say the INTENT.
6 months agoIsrael should have never caved into the western nations. Unfortunately it took this atrocity for them to learn.
6 months agoAnd that is the truth in a nutshell as I have lived and witnessed it all.
6 months agoI agree 100% with this article.
Obama and the US always puts pressure on Israel to “appease” the Muslim world and where did appeasement get Israel?
Israeli citizens, women, babies, teenagers, men set on fire with their hands tied and stabbed, and arms blown off and legs amputated and tortured and beheaded that is where appeasement leads to when dealing with the 56 Islamic countries that surround Israel.
No more appeasement to enemies that want to murder Israelis!
We see appeasing enemies that want to kill you does not work!
The Palestinians can go live with Obama and Trudeau.
Long live Israel the only democracy in the Middle East.
G-d bless.
Stay strong Israel we love you.
Am Israel Chai
6 months agoIsrael can no longer allow pressure from the U.S. as Clinton, Obama and Biden is doing now. The snakes head in this country is Obama. Biden tells Israel one thing until Obama tells him different. I’m sure Obama is instrumental in telling the U.N. Secretary how to handle Israel. The tentacles of Satan is all around the world. Jews are the chosen people, my ass!
6 months agoLouie Gohmert, next speaker of the House of Representatives !!!
