My cousin's friend, Ron Dermer, minced no words when he was interviewed by Mark Levin. He repeated Israel is going to eliminate Hamas and it's ability to function. By winning and destroying Hamas the entire world benefits, including America, "The Big Satan."
He also said the world seems to applaud when Israel is the victim but will it applaud when Israel is the victor?
Second, he said no military force will be allowed to return and/or build in Gaza. There must be an entire culture change. Then and only then will there be peace. Why? Because what young Palestinians, an entire generation, learns is critical.
Ironically, I would not be surprised if, eventually, youthful Palestinians came to embrace Israelis while America's youth remains predominantly anti-Semitic.
God often works in strange ways.
The 3rd point Dermer made is sanctions must be enforced against Iran. He also stated Iranians hate their government and must be supported.
If Israel is not allowed to destroy Hamas, I cannot see Israel being allowed to keep Iran from going nuclear. To accomplish this feat, even if Israel can, Israel/Bibi would have to go against Obama.
As long as the Democrat Party is controlled by radical members and remains in power, I cannot see that happening notwithstanding Bibi's averred commitment. Why? Because Biden continues to implement Obama's agreement.

IDF hits targets in Lebanon after 21 Israelis wounded by Hezbollah
Six of the wounded Israelis are employees of the Israel Electric Corporation. Seven others are IDF combat soldiers.
White phosphorus fired by Israeli army to create a smoke screen, is seen on the Israel-Lebanon border in northern Israel.
As the IDF’s ground invasion in the Gaza Strip continues, tensions escalated in the North on Sunday, with Hezbollah wounding 21 Israelis in multiple incidents of anti-tank and mortar fire.
In one incident, 14 civilians were wounded by anti-tank fire in Dovev, including one seriously and another in critical condition. In a separate incident, seven soldiers were wounded by mortar fire in the Manara area. The IDF had not given a final tally by press time.
Other estimates of people wounded released throughout the day were all in the double digits, leading to increased speculation about whether the IDF would ramp up its counterattacks on the Iranian-proxy terrorist group or continue with the tit-for-tat policy that has been in place thus far.
Hezbollah launched other rocket attacks on the North, though most were shot down or landed in open areas. Hezbollah said it has lost 73 fighters since October 7.

Israel “has attack plans for the North to change the security situation there,” IDF Spokesman R.-Adm. Daniel Hagari said Sunday, adding that the evacuated northern residents would return to their homes after the war with an enhanced sense of security.
In the Gaza Strip, Shifa Hospital in Gaza City was the main hotspot of fighting on Sunday, with reports that it was under partial attack or under siege by the IDF.
Hamas, and medical officials who could be under its sway, said the situation was dire and described a partial Israeli attack. IDF sources denied any direct attack and said there was no military bar preventing the IDF from taking over Hamas’s center of military operations in and under the hospital. Any delay in such an act was due to diplomatic issues, the sources said.
The IDF said it was ready to evacuate babies from Gaza’s largest hospital on Sunday. Ashraf Al-Qidra, who represents the Hamas-run health ministry, said the hospital had suspended operations after fuel ran out. Two of the 45 babies had died in an incubator as a result, he said.
Israeli shelling had killed a patient in intensive care, Qidra said, adding that snipers on rooftops fired into the medical complex from time to time, limiting people’s ability to move.
Israeli security forces delivered 300 liters of diesel fuel to Shifa early Sunday morning and later received intelligence indicating that Hamas had intercepted the delivery, the IDF said.
The IDF released three separate recordings of the event: The first was an audio recording of an exchange between a representative of the Coordination and Liaison Administration (CLA), which implements civilian policy regarding the Israeli government’s activity in the Gaza Strip, and an official from Shifa Hospital.
The two discussed the delivery logistics, explaining where to go and how it would be conducted.“After we deliver the fuel,” the CLA representative said, “our forces will move back so that they won’t be next to the junction. You will send an ambulance to take the fuel.”
The second was a video of soldiers delivering 300 liters of fuel on Sunday morning near the hospital.
The third was a recording of a conversation between an IDF officer and a health official in Gaza. The health official said Yusef Abu Rish, director-general of the health ministry, had prevented the hospital from receiving the fuel.
“There is a problem at Shifa,” the health official said. “Be patient with me.”
“What’s the story?” a CLA representative asked.
“Abu Rish doesn’t want this amount [of fuel],” the health official said. “We are trying to convince him.”
Hagari said the military would help evacuate babies from the hospital at the request of the Shifa staff.
The IDF said doctors, patients, and thousands of evacuees who have taken refuge at hospitals in northern Gaza must leave so it can take down Hamas terrorists.
Ahmed al-Mokhallalati, a senior plastic surgeon at Shifa, told Reuters there had been continuous bombardment for more than 24 hours. Most hospital staff and people sheltering there had left, but 500 patients remained, he said.
IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Herzi Halevi met with municipal leaders from the Gaza border communities on Sunday and assured them that Israel would not return to the same unstable point at the end of the current war because it would defeat Hamas.
“We did not properly prepare for a scenario” as bad as Hamas’s massive October 7 invasion, he said, adding: “We failed in our defense of the villages.”
Twenty Hamas terrorists were taken into custody to be questioned by the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) to glean new intelligence, the IDF said Sunday night.
Separately, a large Israeli military force conducted operations in the Shati refugee camp outside of Gaza City overnight between Saturday and Sunday, killing terrorists in multiple battles. In one of them, soldiers from the Givati Brigade identified numerous civilians inside a building and secured an escape route.
During the evacuation, they came under fire from terrorists. They responded with gun and tank fire and killed the terrorists, the IDF said.
In another battle, Hamas terrorists barricaded themselves inside a house. They were killed by gunfire and targeted airstrikes.
The IAF also targeted a weapons depot following a rocket launch from the site.
In a separate encounter, Nahal Brigade soldiers used a drone to target a squad of four terrorists. Three were killed, and the fourth fled into a crowded area.
In the West Bank, the IDF, Shin Bet, and Border Police detained 15 terrorist suspects, including six affiliated with Hamas, in an overnight operation, the IDF said Sunday.
The joint operation by the Israeli security forces, along with the Israel Police Counterterrorism Unit, killed Montaser Muhammad Saif, 34, in Burka, a Palestinian town. He had spent 17 years in prison for involvement in terrorist activity.
The Palestinian Authority Health Ministry in Ramallah said Saif had died from wounds inflicted by “occupation bullets,” but it made no mention of prior or current terrorist activities he may have been involved in. Saif was reportedly shot as he attempted to flee while carrying an explosive device. More explosive devices located in his vehicle and on his roof were discovered and destroyed.
Another three terrorists were arrested in Burka. They belonged to a terrorist cell responsible for several attacks, including an incident last month when an explosive device wounded a soldier. Two Carlo submachine guns were found in their possession during the operation.
In Jenin, terrorists fired at Israeli security forces, who returned fire, killing one person. Another suspect was arrested as the Israeli security personnel were leaving. Three armed explosive devices were found in their possession.
Since October 7, about 1,570 arrests have been made in the West Bank, and 950 of the terrorist suspects were affiliated with Hamas, the IDF said.

American Jews on the Left Are Just Shocked by Their Fellow Leftists
New York Times headline: “On Israel, Progressive Jews Feel Abandoned by Their Left-Wing Allies.”
NBC News: “The left faces a reckoning as Israel divides Democrats.”
Time Magazine: “How the Activist Left Turned on Israel.”
Los Angeles Times: “‘The left has really let us down.’ Why many American Jews feel abandoned”
Financial Times: “Left’s take on Hamas stuns American Jews — and threatens Democratic party split.”
You get the point.
Left-wing American Jews feel betrayed by the Left. A Left that remains anti-Israel even after the greatest single-day massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, and even though most Palestinians and their supporters explicitly call for the destruction of the Jewish state: “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”
Progressive American Jews are shocked by their fellow progressives. But the only thing that is shocking is their shock.
The Left wing has been calling for an economic boycott of Israel for decades and has labeled Israel an “apartheid” state.
The Left labels America, the most tolerant, multiethnic society in history, “systemically racist.”
The Left called for “defunding the police,” supports attorneys general who abolish bail for violent criminals, and praised demonstrations against America — including many that included vandalism and violence — for more than half a year.
The Left supports all-black dorms and all-black graduations on college campuses. The Left has almost destroyed every liberal ideal regarding race. The University of California, among many other left-wing institutions, has labeled “racist” the liberal ideal of being color-blind, and labeled “racist” the beautiful anti-racist sentiment, “there is only one race, the human race.”
The Left — specifically schools of education and teachers unions — has ruined elementary schools and high schools. And it has destroyed universities as institutions that allow open dialogue.
The Left affirms the lie that men can become women and women can become men, and it works to crush the life and career of anyone who denies that people can become the other sex. The Left supports the demise of women’s sports by fighting to allow any man who says he is a woman to compete in women’s sports. The Left supports putting children who say they are the other sex on hormone-blocking drugs, and supports allowing girls under the age of 21 (and sometimes under 18) who say they are boys to have their breasts surgically removed.
The Left has been waging the most successful war against free speech in American history. As a result, almost half of America’s young people say they believe in free speech but not for “hate speech,” which, of course, means they do not believe in free speech.
The Left asserts that the human fetus at any stage of development is, literally, worthless, certainly worth less than a dog, if the woman carrying it wants an abortion.
The Left has essentially destroyed mainstream journalism. Mainstream media no longer hold truth as an ideal. They promoted the lie for nearly two years that Russia colluded with the Trump presidential campaign in 2016 (many still do). They continue to promote the lie that having to present an ID when voting is “racist.”
The Left has poisoned American medicine. The American Medical Association has announced that birth certificates should no longer list the sex of a child. Medical boards threaten to suspend or even revoke the medical licenses of physicians who question the efficacy of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine or prescribe hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin to patients in the early stages of COVID-19.
The Left has enthusiastically supported the America-hating and Israel-hating Black Lives Matter organization and the flag-defaming athletes who refused to stand for the national anthem.
The Left has promulgated the racist doctrine in most American schools and businesses that all whites are racist.
The Left teaches school children that they should be ashamed of their past and that their future is awful (due to carbon emissions); that capitalism is bad and socialism good.
The Left, in short, hates the West, the most decent civilization ever created, and hates America, the most decent country ever created.
The Left, for decades, has declared Zionism racist — meaning that Israel’s existence is inherently immoral — and has charged Israel with “genocide” against the Palestinians.
Yet now Jews on the Left are simply shocked that the people who hold all these contemptible positions either morally equate Hamas with Israel or actually support those who chant “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” which is in fact a call to genocide. Genocide of the Jews.
Unlike the liberal Jew, the left-wing Jew — the professor, the columnist, the teacher — is a destructive fool. But the liberal Jew is inexcusably naive about the Left, nearly all of whose positions have nothing in common with liberalism, not to mention with the Torah.
Maybe some will repent. But don’t bet on it.

Gantz: This is not the time to replace Netanyahu
Minister Benny Gantz, member of Knesset's war cabinet, says it would be 'hallucinatory' to replace the Prime Minister during a war.
By Benny Gantz
Minister Benny Gantz, chairman of the National Unity party, has spoken out against the calls to replace Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu while the war is still ongoing, Kan Reshet Bet reported.
According to the report, Gantz, who is a member of the war cabinet, emphasized in closed conversations that during a war, you do not switch prime ministers. This is a position which he has reiterated at several different opportunities recently.
According to sources close to Gantz, discussing the replacement of a prime minister right now is "nothing less than hallucinatory."
At the same time, Gantz said that in his opinion, there will yet come a time to discuss investigations, protests, and the issue of taking responsibility for the failures which led to Hamas' attack on Israeli communities near the Gaza border.
Last month, Dr. Hagi Ben-Artzi, Netanyahu's brother-in-law, told Arutz Sheva-Israel National News, that, "At least five leaders are to blame for the terrible attack that occurred on Simchat Torah 2023," namely, former prime ministers Yitzchak Rabin, Shimon Peres, Ariel Sharon, Ehud Barak, and Benjamin Netanyahu.

Nikki Haley’s 5-Inch Heels
She is what the GOP needs to take on Trump and Biden: a conviction politician.
By Kimberley A. Strassel
Rare is the primary debater who lands a true zinger, and wiser participants know the risk of attempting a lame or canned dig. Then there’s Vivek Ramaswamy. Nikki Haley might thank the political naïf for helping highlight the extent to which she’s indeed running in those 5-inch heels—and leaving stiletto marks on a few competitors along the way.
Mr. Ramaswamy tried mightily in Wednesday’s GOP debate to pass off his clearly preplanned slur of Ms. Haley as “Dick Cheney in 3-inch heels” as a passing quip—and bombed enough to elicit a collective audience groan. It mainly served to provide the former South Carolina governor another opportunity to draw distinctions between her own muscular foreign policy and her opponents’ bobs and weaves. Leadership is becoming the central theme of the Haley campaign, and that helps explain her marked rise in national and state polls.
Growing global disorder thrust foreign policy to the forefront of this debate, and it is quickly separating the men from . . . the woman. Donald Trump caters to the “America first” contingent, vowing to end the Ukrainian war in 24 hours and reward Vladimir Putin’s onslaught against civilians with whatever land Russia has seized up to now. Mr. Ramaswamy goes further left, resurrecting a 1930s-style isolationism that envisions abandoning even allies like Israel and that smears Ukrainians as “Nazis.”
The more vivid contrast on Wednesday’s stage was between Ms. Haley’s unwavering support for Ukraine and Israel—her clear vision of a “strong America” that “prevents wars”—and Ron DeSantis’s clear desire to duck the whole topic. Fearful of alienating any bit of Mr. Trump’s base, the Florida governor again dodged the question of his support for Ukraine, pivoting to talking points about Europe’s relative support, China’s power, and the southern border. Tim Scott was equally noncommittal. Full marks to the lady who knows her mind and who isn’t scared to voice it.
And not only in foreign policy. While the Israeli conflagration might have provided Ms. Haley this opening with voters, it’s also allowing her to contrast her fleshed-out domestic agenda against her rivals’. On spending, she explained that “any candidate that tells you that they’re not going to take on entitlements is not being serious” and stated her plan to raise the Social Security retirement age for younger Americans, switch to inflation-based annual adjustments, and limit some benefits for the wealthy. She even dared promise an expansion of Medicare Advantage plans, reviving the lost GOP point about the importance of competition in healthcare.
Mr. Christie offered similar Social Security reforms, while in the non-serious category, Messrs. DeSantis, Scott and Ramaswamy refused to commit to structural changes and deflected to points about growth, inflation and military spending. Ms. Haley also earned props for getting specific about further spending reductions—promising to “claw back the $500 billion of unspent Covid dollars,” “eliminate the earmarks” and “veto any spending bill that doesn’t go back to pre-Covid levels.”
Abortion is another flashpoint, all the more urgent in light of Democrats’ continued success at using the issue to pummel GOP candidates at the polls. The policy divide is clear enough. Ms. Haley would continue to keep abortion in “the hands of the people” at the state level. Candidates like Mr. Scott want a 15-week federal limit.
As important—at least politically—is the question of tone, and how exactly Republicans escape the extremist label. “As much as I’m pro-life, I don’t judge anyone for being pro-choice and I don’t want them to judge me for being pro-life,” Ms. Haley said, calling on the country to “find consensus.” Few Republican candidates these days are willing to broadcast moderation in the culture wars, but few are winning on militantly pro-life platforms. Now there’s something to think about.
GOP voters and influencers clearly are thinking. In the weeks leading up to Wednesday’s debate, Ms. Haley solidified her position as front-runner to take on Mr. Trump in New Hampshire and South Carolina and is nipping at Mr. DeSantis’s heels in Iowa. The most recent Federal Election Commission fundraising reports show she’s dramatically narrowed the gap with her Florida rival.
Meanwhile, dig in to that New York Times/Siena College poll of a week ago. The headlines focused on the news that Mr. Trump was ahead of Mr. Biden in five of six swing states. The better headline is that Mr. Trump remains the GOP’s weakest bet against the president. The poll found Ms. Haley cleaning Mr. Biden’s clock in key swing states. While Mr. Trump would theoretically today beat Mr. Biden by 5 in Michigan and 4 in Pennsylvania, Ms. Haley leads by 10 in each state. And while Mr. Trump is behind Mr. Biden by 2 in Wisconsin, Ms. Haley is ahead by 13.
Candidates rise and fall, and Ms. Haley’s challenge now is to prove she’s no flash in the primary pan. But to the extent she’s getting a look, she’s getting it because she’s campaigning on conviction and a defined agenda, not focus groups or trite one-liners.

Lawyers and politicians do not know how to win wars. They have been allowed to cripple the Pentagon. They know only how to start one but have no clue how to win because they always come up with reasons why they cannot do what it takes to win and more importantly, by the time they make up their minds and debate with themselves, they have lost any advantage they had.
Finally, call me a racist but, as brilliant as he may be, I always was suspect of Kissinger. German's are historically losers and Kissinger did not understand that is not the way Americans are. We too have become losers because we let Marxists invade every aspect of our society starting with education.

Israel Must Remember That America Has Not Won a Serious War in 80 Years - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics
Dov Fischer
Why take advice from her leaders?
My dear friend, professional colleague, and soul brother Rabbi Steven Pruzansky recently published an article that “beat me to the punch” on themes I express below, so I have to share some credit here with him for what I am about to write. But I wuz gonna write on it, and I of course will say it my way.
Imagine you are about to seek high office, and a sprightly 100-year-old guy applies to be your campaign manager. You ask for his credentials, and he shares his resumé. It is quite impressive: He was chief presidential campaign manager twice for Adlai Stevenson, years later for George McGovern, ran Gary Hart’s primary campaigns in 1984 and 1988, then guided Michael Dukakis, and finally moved to the GOP, where he was presidential campaign manager first for John McCain and then for Mitt Romney. He also took on a smaller campaign once, guiding his client to a landslide victory as Chief Dog Catcher of Anytown, Delaware.
Well, you might think, this guy really has been around the block in the big time. A lifetime of experience on the highest level. And then it might occur to you: But this guy has not won a single race in the past 80 years, except that one Caninite conquest.
Would you take campaign advice from this guy, even if he still had the comparative youthful exuberance of a quinquagenarian?
I think of that analogy as the likes of Joseph R. Biden (D-Burisma) and Antony Blinken consult daily with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin (Bibi) Netanyahu, offering Israel their American ideas on how to conduct the war against Hamas-ISIS in Gaza.
Consider that America has not won a single war (except Grenada) these past 80 years. We did not win the Korean War. Nor the Vietnam War. We made an absolute mess of Iraq, after saving Kuwait from Saddam Hussein. Amid George W. Bush’s idiotic belief that America could imbue an Arab Muslim society with Western values of democracy and fundamental freedoms, America destroyed a Dream Conflagration that saw Saddam and the ayatollahs embroiled in a potentially Eternal War. For eight glorious years, from 1980–1988, 500,000 Iraqis and Iranians killed each other at a combined cost of $1 trillion (and that was when a trillion dollars was worth a trillion dollars). And then Bush ruined it, leaving both warring sides focused on hating us instead.
We have made a mess of practically everything we have touched the past 80 years, culminating in our recent disgraceful exit from Afghanistan and now our eternal stalemate in Ukraine. America, once great, simply does not know how to win a war anymore.
George Washington knew war demanded total surrender, and he got it from Cornwallis. Actually, Cornwallis was so humiliated that he did not show up on the day of surrender, leaving it to Brig. Gen. Charles O’Hara to give up, while Cornwallis claimed to be home with a cold. Our George snubbed the Brit right back, having his second in command, Maj. Gen. Benjamin Lincoln, accept Cornwallis’ sword. Likewise, Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses Grant knew what it took to win the Civil War. Teddy Roosevelt knew. Harry Truman knew. You bomb the daylights, smithereens, and oxygen out of the enemy if nothing else does it, and you do not stop until you have them begging to give you total victory.
You pay lip service to the “rules of war” and the Geneva Convention, but you do as your opponents do: You disregard the rules if they do — and they always do — even as you officially claim to honor them, and you fight to win. Your goal is victory, not a “humanitarian pause” or a “ceasefire.” You do not make your boys, who are willing to give their lives for your flag, crazy.
How many “innocent German civilians” did we kill in World War II? A hundred? A thousand? A hundred thousand?
How about 2 million?
And how many “innocent Germans” did we expel from their homes and leave as homeless refugees?
Nearly 14 million.
That is how we beat the Nazi Germans. Not by Geneva Convention rules. We flattened Dresden and other German cities. And how much did that hurt us with the survivors, the future generations of Germans?
They emerged grateful to America and adopted American-style democracy. They have been our allies ever since, for nearly a century.
Ditto the Japanese — on steroids: Hiroshima. Nagasaki. What does the Geneva Convention say about that? “Do you think, Mr. President, if we drop those bombs on the Japs [the contemptuous language spoken in those years at that time amid war], we might accidentally also hurt mothers and children?”
Did anyone ask that of Harry Truman? And if they did, who doubts what he would have responded — and probably did? A six-letter word that starts with “F” and ends with “m.”
And how much did the Japanese eternally condemn us for it? Japan adopted American-style democracy and became our tightest of Asian allies, going on a century.
That is how you win friends and influence people: by bombing them to smithereens when they dare lift a finger against you and draw first blood. That is how America became great the first time around: not by worrying about Geneva Conventions or United Nations Human Rights Councils led by the likes of Iran and Cuba, but by never drawing first blood — and pulverizing anyone who does.
The Geneva Conventions and Protocols in place today were reached after World War II in 1949. And what else happened after World War II in 1949?
America stopped winning wars.
It is not righteous to play by rules that the enemy does not honor. It is evil to sacrifice one’s own boys’ lives on an altar to a fake morality that does not exist, a “global morality” that is neither global nor moral. The enemy hides behind civilians, leveraging them cynically as human shields. For example, the headquarters of Hamas-ISIS are located in Gaza tunnels under a hospital. They figure Israel never would strike deliberately at a hospital.
Biden and Blinken are counseling Bibi and his military staff with the wisdom of a country that has not won a single serious war in 80 years.
In the biblical Book of Genesis, the patriarch of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam begged G-d Almig-ty to spare the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah if 10 righteous people could be found there. Notably, he did not ask G-d to spare those cities for the sake of the children and women, but for the 10 righteous. And there were not even 10 righteous to be found. Can you name a Mother Teresa who has emerged in Gaza? A Father Damien of Molokai? A Thomas More?
It is false morality to cry for the children of Gaza killed inadvertently while Israel targets Hamas-ISIS murderers and, as collateral damage, unavoidably kills Hamas’ human shields. A war must be won. Hamas-ISIS never ever will rest until it eradicates Israel and drives the Jews into the Mediterranean, fulfilling the murderous mantra of Rashida Tlaib, censured by the House of Representatives: “From the [Jordan] River to the [Mediterranean] Sea, [fictitious] ‘Palestine’ Must Be Free.”
In six wars since Israel handed Gaza to the Arabs scot-free in 2005, allowing them to build a heaven and haven if only they so had desired, Hamas-ISIS repeatedly has reminded Israel that Gaza concrete and steel will be devoted to building rockets and grenades, missiles and attack drones, and a national underground tunnel network aimed at destroying Israel. The billions in cash they have received from Qatar, the European Union, and America over the past two decades has gone to financing their terror network and employing some 40,000 full-time murderers living in those tunnels, all training to murder Jews and destroy Israel. In 18 years, they never built their own electric grid or water system.
It is a corrupt and perverted mindset to encourage allowing one’s own boys to die so that “the world” may “admire” that a country fights with tohar ha-neshek (“clean armaments”), in accord with Geneva, while the enemy slaughters peace activists at trance dance raves, rapes girls both living and murdered, butchers babies, cuts off heads, and cuts open living pregnant women to tear out and stab their fetuses and then burn both fetus and women, even while alive.
Any body count that emerges in Gaza is moral — whether 1,000 or 10,000 or 100,000 — as long as Israel does not wantonly target civilians. But if civilians fall as human shields to a Hamas-ISIS that hides behind hospitals, schools, residential apartment buildings, ambulances, and such, so be it.
Back during the Holocaust, as emigrating European Jews desperately tried finding haven in the Americas, a Canadian immigration agent was asked how many Jewish refugees his country would be willing to admit. His response: “Even none is too many.”
That’s how many of her own boys Israel should sacrifice on the altar of the Geneva Accords and Protocols of 1949 while exterminating Hamas-ISIS.

Hamas's Useful Idiots in the U.S., Europe
by Bassam Tawil
The "pro-Palestinian" demonstrations that have taken place in the US and some European countries over the past few days are all about hating Israel and Jews, not about helping the Palestinians – especially those who have been living under the rule of the Iran-backed Hamas terrorist group in the Gaza Strip since 2007.
People who are really pro-Palestinian would be demonstrating for them to have leaders that do not siphon off billions in international aid, or who shoot at them when they try to flee to safety, or who do not store weapons and ammunition in and near their homes and schools.
Instead of supporting the eradication of Israel, the demonstrators should be calling for the eradication of Hamas, whose members are holding two million Palestinians as hostages, while their leaders are living luxuriously in hotels in Qatar.
Instead of calling for genocide against Jews and the destruction of Israel, the "pro-Palestinian" demonstrators should be calling for the liberation of the Gaza Strip – from Hamas, which has brought a new nakba (catastrophe) on two million Palestinians living there, and whose people are finally starting to speak out about their despair over their own brutal leadership there.
Disgorging hateful messages against Israel does not make one "pro-Palestinian." For decades, Hamas and other radical Palestinian groups have engaged in continuous genocidal incitement and attacks against Israel. Has this helped the Palestinians in any way? Not even a bit .
The demonstrators in the US and some European countries have repeated lies against Israel without assigning one iota of blame to Hamas, or even to its mastermind, Iran.
Such demonstrations achieve only one thing: they embolden terror-masters such as Hamas, Al-Qaeda, Islamic State -- and an Iran that is on the threshold of having nuclear bombs with which to attack or blackmail the West.
These demonstrators, who appear to feel so virtuous, send a message to the terrorist groups that people in the West happily support violence, terrorism and the Jihad (holy war) not only against Israel and Jews, but also against Christians, all "infidels," Europe, the United States and the West.
Two days after Hamas's October 7 massacre -- complete with a baby baked alive in an oven, and other children burned alive or beheaded, as well as kidnappings and mass-murder -- "pro-Palestinian" demonstrators in New York's Times Square waved Palestinian flags and chanted, "Resistance is justified", "Globalize the intifada", "Smash the settler Zionist state" and "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free."
Those who chant "From the [Jordan] river to the [Mediterranean] sea, Palestine will be free" are echoing Hamas's charter, which calls for the extermination of Israel and replacing it with an Islamic state:
"The land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf consecrated for future Muslim generations until Judgement Day. It, or any part of it, should not be given up. Neither a single Arab country nor all Arab countries, neither any king or president, not all the kings and presidents... possess the right to do that." (Article 11)
Gaza has, in fact, been completely free of Jews since 2005, when it was given -- unconditionally -- to the Gazans, so they could build a "Singapore on the Mediterranean." Instead, they built a terror state.
These "pro-Palestinian" demonstrators have not even faulted Hamas for starting the war. For the demonstrators, "it all started when Israel fired back."
If the "pro-Palestinian" demonstrators really want to help the Palestinians, they can start by denouncing the war crimes committed by Hamas -- against Jews, Christians and Muslims, on October 7.
If the "pro-Palestinian" demonstrators on the streets of New York, Washington and London really wanted to help the Palestinians, they would point their bloody finger at Hamas. They would be doing an enormous favor to the Palestinians who want to live in peace and security. Although many Palestinians in the Gaza Strip support Hamas and its genocide, many others deeply oppose Hamas. In recent years, thousands have fled the Gaza Strip for Europe, where they hope for a better life -- like the one the demonstrators enjoy -- where they will not have to fear a knock on the door at two in the morning or have their government lodge rocket launchers next to their playgrounds and homes. A recent video shows a Gazan woman saying, "Those bastards at Hamas," before a man clamps his hand over her mouth.
Why are the demonstrators ignoring the fact that Hamas has plunged the Gaza Strip into several wars with Israel since 2007? Why are the demonstrators ignoring the fact that Hamas has turned the Gaza Strip into an arms depot and a base for global Jihad and terrorism? Why are they ignoring the fact that instead of building hospitals and schools, Hamas has been manufacturing weapons, building a vast network of tunnels for its men, and smuggling rockets and advanced weaponry into the Gaza Strip?
Where were the "pro-Palestinian" activists in the US, Canada and Europe when members of Hamas committed human rights violations against their own people -- forcing them to be in the line of fire so their dead bodies can be shown to television crews? Where were the "pro-Palestinians " activists when Hamas was arresting, torturing and murdering Palestinian journalists and human rights advocates? Where were the demonstrators when Hamas was beating and arresting hundreds of Palestinians who took to the streets over the past few years to protest the economic hardship and Hamas's financial corruption? Why are the three top Hamas leaders -- all billionaires -- living luxuriously in five-star hotels in Qatar? Where are the "pro-Palestinian" protestors for that?
Those leading Hamas, a terrorist group, are evidently so pleased with the support they are receiving from the streets of Washington, New York and London that they saw fit to issue a statement thanking the anti-Israel demonstrators:
"We, in the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), applaud the mass movement, marches and solidarity events that took place... in various American cities and Western capitals," they announced in a statement in late October. Hamas called on the Western demonstrators to "escalate all forms of popular resistance [against Israel]." Hamas, in short, is calling on the Western demonstrators to join them as terrorists in their Jihad against Israel and Jews. Eventually it will also be against Christians and all "infidels". "First the Saturday people," the jihadi saying goes, "then the Sunday people."
The mullahs ruling Iran, with Hamas in tow, doubtless see the demonstrations in the US, Canada and Europe only as an act of solidarity with them, support for the October 7 massacre, and for just the first step of their plan: to become the hegemon of the Middle East, before "exporting the Revolution" worldwide.
Countries and groups that commit terrorist attacks view the anti-Israel demonstrations as an extension of their war against the West.
In recent weeks, Iran has carried out at least 48 attacks on US troops in Syria and Iraq. More than 46 US servicemen have been wounded, many with traumatic brain injury. Since Biden took office, Iran has launched at least 131 attacks against US troops in Syria and Iraq (83 before March; 48 after). These assaults seem to be part of a Russian-Iranian -- and lately Communist Chinese -- plan to drive the US out of the Middle East altogether, perhaps so its oil will remain available just to them. A few US retaliatory pinprick strikes on unmanned Iranian weapons depots do not appear to have had a deterrent effect.
Meanwhile, the "pro-Palestinian" demonstrators masquerade as peace-seekers. In fact, they celebrate terrorism and imperialism -- Islamic imperialism -- that seeks forcibly to expand Iran's territorial gains not only throughout Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Iraq, but through Yemen, Saudi Arabia and South America on its way to the "Big Satan," the United States. The Iranians have already infiltrated Venezuela and met in Cuba to discuss "confront[ing] 'Yankee Imperialism.'"
Apparently not realizing how destructive these peace-loving demonstrators are to themselves and their free way of life -- economically, sexually and verbally -- they do not even seem to see their own deep-seated bigotry and antisemitism, or bother to think for a minute what life would actually be like for them if they lived in Gaza, Beirut, Damascus or Tehran. It is easy to be a demonstrator in London, Washington DC or New York.
Despite all the claims to the contrary, these are not pro-Palestinian rallies. These are hate marches of people seeking the destruction of Israel and the West. Make no mistake: those who are now protesting against Israel are advocating for a totalitarian way of life, for poverty -- except for the leaders, of course -- and for the same sort of utopia now being relished by the citizens of Iran, North Korea, Afghanistan, Cuba, Venezuela... and Gaza.
