“They fail to understand a traumatized nation facing genocidal foes—one that is united behind a war whose aim is the preservation of their very existence.”
Excerpt from Jonathan Tobin,
A just war
Story continues below advertisementThis war is between a democratic nation fighting for its existence against an Islamist movement whose goal is the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people. Yet many outside of Israel, even those who do know the history and essential nature of the two sides in this struggle, such as President Joe Biden and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, are increasingly speaking as if the only thing to do is to end the war as soon as possible. They say the aftermath of the war must mean that Hamas survives—and gets away with mass murder. That means the Palestinians are rewarded for such abominations with an independent state that will likely have the ability to pursue the terrorist organization’s goal for many more days like Oct. 7. Somehow, that makes sense in Washington and other places.
But not in Israel.
The overwhelming majority of Israelis, including many, if not most, of those who oppose Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, see it very differently. And to understand why, maybe you need to go to Kfar Aza and see the ruins and makeshift memorials to the people who lived in that small kibbutz near the Gaza border who were brutally murdered, raped or kidnapped by Palestinians.
If so, you’ll soon realize that the battle with Hamas isn’t one about Israelis ruthlessly harming Palestinians. Nor is it about “white” oppressors seeking to dominate powerless “people of color,” as many left-wing Americans think. Nor is it one in which tired diplomatic theories about a “two-state solution,” which have repeatedly been rejected by the Palestinian people, can be employed to get a messy situation under control, not to mention ease some of Biden’s political problems.
To be in Israel during this war is to experience both the strength and the fragility of the Jewish state. Yet the general public wouldn’t necessarily think that if all they know of the Middle East is what’s seen on news shows. After all, life goes on pretty much as normal, even if some businesses and farming areas in southern and northern Israel have clearly suffered due to the absence of employees because so many people have been called into active military service. The buses and trains are running, and people still go to the movies and concerts, as well as other normal activities.
The hotels are also full, but not with tourists. That is a key giveaway that something isn’t right. Walk into many hotels in Jerusalem or Tel Aviv, and something is a little off. They’re packed with people but not tourists on vacation from abroad. Chat with even a few of the hundreds of thousands of Israelis—families with small children and elderly people prominent among them—who were forced to flee their homes in the south near Gaza and the north near Lebanon, and you get a view of the war that is omitted in the breathless coverage of Palestinian suffering.

She ascended the Throne back when the Englishmen could call their country good old England, and left to her son a country that is, without five minutes, an Islamic emirate.1 month agoReply to T DAs far as I’m concerned, ALL those “leaders” telling Israel to “stand down”, should be the one to Provide the Soldiers to Protect Israel and It’s Borders.
That Way, when HAMAS, PLO, or some other Palestinian terrorist organization reneges on the “peace deal”, it won’t be Israelis being massacred!
Israel can still guard their borders, et al- Just keep the “peace keepers” between them & the enemy.
Apparently, those same “leaders” NEVER heard the old saying, “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.”.2 months agoWhat you don’t get about Israelis fighting for their lives…..is also, G_D has a plan no matter what anyone sees, hears or believes!
Isaiah 40-66: Return and Restoration!
Jews Have a Divine Right to Israel’s Land!
If you read the Bible, than you will know that G_D, Jesus and the Holy Spirit has a plan for what it happening right now in and to Israel and the Jews!!!!!!
If you don’t read the Bible, you will NEVER know and might possibly be blinded by Satan!!
2 months agoHamas is a violent and deadly religious organization. It’s foundation is Islam which has Quran as its ’holy book” that instructs Muslims to engage in the violence and killing of “disbelievers” for the cause of Islam, as seen in Surah 2:191. 4: 89. 5:33. 9:123. For example, Surah 47:4 reads, “Whenever you encounter the disbelievers strike off their heads until you make a great slaughter among them…”
The terrible reality is that using rockets, machine guns and bombs will make a greater “slaughter among them than a sword can.
The jihadists of Hamas are followers of Quran based Islam and not a “warped’ type of Islam.
2 months agoThe truth as to why Hamas attacked Israel with is brutal cruel vicious murderous jihad on October 7th ,2023 is because “roots” of the ideology of Islamic terrorism is based on the theology of the religion of Islam.
In which has its entire foundation on the Qur ‘an.
That “holy book” of Islam the Qur ‘an [the Koran] instructs on the use of violence and killing of disbelievers for the advancement of Islam. As found in ,for example 2:191. 4:89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4.
Furthermore, teaches hate for and towards Jewish people, as in calling them descendants of “apes and swine.” As seen in the Qu ‘ran in 2:65; 7:166.; 5:60. Therefore , the violent jihadist and devote jihad-minded Muslims despise the Jewish State of Israel.
That murderous demonic jihad entity, Hamas is based on Islam . That’s the actual, real,” roots” of that Israel – Hamas war.
2 months agoWe can only hope Israel ignores the often well- meaning but always misguided calls to stop fighting. Hamas must be destroyed totally, not one member left alive. Also it’s supporters – the paleostinians have brought this upon themselves. Gaza must be cleared and incorporated back into Israel without moslems. Ditto Judea and Samaria aka “the West Bank”. The surrounding Arab states must be shown what awaits them if they keep up their genocidal ways
2 months agoReply to Sir PeterIsrael has shown great restraint against the palis arabs who want to finish what hitler started and their book states that killing all of them must be done to unbelievers. Israel has the Samson Option and has had it for many years and has shown great restraint and using it would wipe out the barbarians who have proven how deranged they are to all unbelievers including Christians and raise their children to hate and kill Jews, (for starts). Why the dem party wants a 2 state solution is insane and the Jewish dem pols are suicidal. Why any other nation that does not share their cult beliefs lets them live there is beyond me.
2 months agoAm Yisroal Chai….
2 months agoBlinken is a middle management who takes orders from radicals, led by Obama. He has no solution, just following anti Israel haters who like Hamas.
2 months agoCarry on, Bibi.
2 months agoJoshua ended the battle at Jericho by killing all within. that’s how to terminate an unrelinting enemy.
2 months agoIslam IS the problem. They believe they have an obligation to dominate or kill the infidel (us).
2 months agoIt’s very wise and best of the government officials of the State of Israel to totally disregard the terrible fool advice of Joe Biden about this current war with Hamas that it started on October 7th. 2023.
For those brutal vicious murderous jihadists of Hamas can’t be reasoned with .They cannot and will not respond to the logic of reason. The only language that they are able to understand is that of being on the receiving end of a very strong might power of military might.
As Thomas Jefferson had, very wisely, written, “With every barbarous people…force is law.”
2 months agoThe government officials of the State of Israel do have a duty and obligation to have the Israeli military force response to those brutal cruel malice -filled murderous jihadists attacks of Hamas.
For it’s the responsibility of the government of Israel to protect the safety and lives of citizens , especially since that horrendous jihad entity, Hamas, started this war on October 7th by launching violent and deadly Islamic terrorists attacks on the peaceful Jewish people of Israel.
Therefore, the use of the military force against Hamas is a very important and necessary action of self-defense.
As the former US President James Monroe, had, rightly, in a speech declared, “The right of self -defense never ceases. It is among the most sacred, and alike necessary to nations and individuals.”
The Israel Defense Force needs to and should hit Hamas long and hard and keep on hitting it until that evil jihad entity is completely destroyed.
It also had been wisely said, “Half measures in war is folly and madness.”
2 months agoY’all think that “Israel” and the Jews are “fighting for freedom”? ROFLMAO! They want the Gaza strip to build a new canal, not to mention the new natural gas and oil they found. They are NOT a “state”! They are a BRANCH OF THE ROTHCHILD BUISNESSES! This entire “WAR” was STAGED for YOU STUPID IDIOTS so you will help them get rich! WHAT A BUNCH OF BRAINWASHED IDIOTS! YA’LL BE SO PLAYED! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Hope you enjoy dying for a bunch of Satan worshiping JEWS that are stealing our children for child sacrifice!

We’ve been hearing this sort of Bravo Sierra for decades – and none of it was true.
If Israel had any intention or need to remove Fakestinians or take any of “their” land for any “project” … it would have happened.
Meanwhile the West finances the Muslim terrorists who start all of these wars …
