Israel stupidly exited Gaza in 2005, evicted 8,500 Jews living there, and handed over the entire region to Arab Muslims, all to foster peace. That was Ariel Sharon’s folly and sounded the death knell for the Israeli Left. The Arab Muslim population responded by electing the Hamas terror syndicate to lead them and run Gaza ever since, all these past 18 years. As the German citizens of Dresden freely voted to make Hitler their democratically elected leader, so have the Arab Muslim populace of Gaza chosen to be governed by a party with a singular-focused platform and pledge: to wipe Israel and Zionism off the face of the earth. Unlike most political parties, say this for Hamas: They honor their promises to their voters. They pledged to wipe out Israel, the people of Gaza elected them to wipe out Israel, and that has been the protocol these past two decades.
When cement and steel are shipped by Europe
and America to rebuild Gaza after each war that Hamas initiates, those
supplies are used not to rebuild civilian resources but to construct new
military tunnels, new missiles, and other attack weapons. They cry
crocodile tears but apply themselves to murder Jews with more giggles
than Kamala. They take the billions they receive from Europe and America
and Arab countries like Qatar, and they direct those funds to murdering
Jews.
In response, while crafting her military defenses, Israel always has feared that American promises cannot be trusted. South Vietnam, our American ally, was wiped off the map. Remember the helicopters in Miss Saigon? We sold them out. And remember the helicopters in Afghanistan? We sold them out, too. And we sold out our allies and interpreters and spies in Iraq, as we did in South Vietnam, Afghanistan, and other places that relied haplessly on our guarantees. The Israelis know what American guarantees are worth. Biden just sent $6 billion to Iran. Everyone knew that money would be going to Hamas and Hezbollah to make attacks like these possible. And so it did.
Israel has had to fight some half dozen wars with Hamas these past 18 years. Israel never fights to win, only to “mow the lawn” until the seeds of terror grow again and new war erupts. That actually is Israel’s idiotic description, not my clever aphorism: “mowing the lawn.” If Israel is to see an end to such savageries as 1,000 Jews slaughtered amid observances of a Sukkot Holy Week, she needs to fight for victory. She knows it. She has no intention of being a Ukraine that plows through $110 billion in U.S. military aid over a year and a half with no end in sight as long as Biden has enough paper and green ink to print more “money.”
I write this calmly. If the thoughts expressed below seem severe, the situation is severe. Here is what Israel needs to do:
- It is imperative, if Israel is capable of doing so, that it exterminate Hamas. Again: exterminate. Leave nothing behind of Hamas. Not even dental records.
- It is imperative, if Israel is capable of doing so, that it exterminate Islamic Jihad. Again: exterminate.
- It is imperative, if Israel is capable of doing so, that it target all Hamas and Islamic Jihad leaders and exterminate them.
- Any such leaders who are in hiding must be exterminated as soon as they are found, even 20 years from now.
- This would never have happened if Netanyahu and Israel had fought a previous Hamas War tovictoryinstead of just “mowing the lawn.”
- Israel should not — and must not — go out of its way to kill even one single Arab civilian “innocent” in an act of revenge, but Israel must not hesitate to kill and exterminate every single terrorist and terror objective, even if it necessitates the collateral loss of thousands of civilians. Arab Muslim terrorists base themselves in apartment buildings, schools, hospitals, mosques, ambulances, and other profoundly civilian non-combatant locations. Each such site must be deemed fair game for utter elimination, and no civilian’s presence can justify refraining from exterminating every terror site in Gaza. Moreover, Hamas controls Gaza because the population of Gaza have voted for them repeatedly. They are no more innocent than German voters in Dresden who elected Hitler.
- This was not only an attack on the country of Israel but also an attack on the G-d of Israel, launching deliberately on Sh’mini Atzeret. Sadat did that, launching his war not only against Israel the country but against the G-d of Israel by striking on Yom Kippur. Tellingly, Sadat struck on Oct. 6 (1973), and I personally believe G-d left His thumbprint on Sadat’s demise by snuffing him out on Oct. 6 (1981).
- It is very, very hard that 150 or more Jewish hostages have been taken. I do not write in euphemisms but in truths: It will be impossible to recover Jewish hostages from Arab terrorists without paying prices that guarantee even more mass killings of hundreds more innocent Jews than would be freed by releasing scores of Arab murderers. This is why Hamas and Islamic Jihad — this time — must be utterly exterminated, and the bombings must not stop until all hostages are returned. Endless bombings are no more “disproportional” than the hostage exchanges. Moreover, electricity in Gaza — which Israel controls — must not be restored until all hostages are returned. Biblical Egypt was dark for three days. Gaza should remain dark for three years or decades if needed to recover the hostages. No electricity, no fuel, nothing but basic food and medical supplies forever until all hostages are returned.
- And The Day After: How did this all happen, a terror project this well coordinated from so many vantage points? So many towns attacked at once, with missiles launched simultaneously? When the exterminating ends, heads must roll. The weak and politically correct defense minister and chief of staff who devote more effort to tearing down new Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria than to tearing down illegal Arab structures in Area C must go. There must be a reckoning.
- American public opinion? America now is in full “Election 2024” mode. There already have been two Republican presidential debates. The election will be between Biden and Trump. Everyone in America knows it. Politicians on both sides now are covering up everything they have done so as to clean their records for the voters. They all lie, especially during Election Season. Watch Jon Tester of Montana and Joe Manchin of West Virginia cover up how their two votes have given Democrats the Senate majority (51–49 and not 49–51), allowing for the disaster of the past three years at the gas pump, the southern border, the grocery shelves, and in judicial selections all the way up to that grossly unqualified charlatan who cannot define what a woman is. For the next 13 months, almost all American politicians will be firmly with Israel. The anti-Israel wing among America’s Democrats does not yet influence policymaking. Ocasio, Rashida Tlaib, and Ilhan Omar make headlines but only represent, respectively, one small district of Bronx Puerto Ricans, one of Dearborn Arabs, and one of Minneapolis Somalians. They compose less than 1 percent of the 435 senators and congressional representatives who make policy. Even with their cohort of less-public Zionist-Jew haters like Betty McCollum, Cori Bush, and Jamaal Bowman, they compose 3 or 4 percent total. Biden is behind in many polls right now and cannot afford to criticize Israel. America’s Christian voters will stand by Israel. Trump’s support for Israel is beyond secure.
- More than putting my faith in politicians, please allow me to put my faith primarily in the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob Who guided both Truman and Stalin to recognize Israel in 1948. He guided de Gaulle to back Israel in 1956 when Eisenhower would not, Johnson to stand with Israel in 1967 when France back-stabbed, Nixon heroically to defy Kissinger and the State Department to back Israel in 1973, and Trump throughout his presidency. He will guide whom He will guide, and He will destroy whom He will destroy.
The L-rd will give strength to His people. The L-rd will bless His people with Peace. (Psalm 29:11)
