THE PHRASE 'CEASEFIRE' IS A DELUSION ... IT WON'T KEEP IRAN/HAMAS/HEZBOLLAH FROM COMMITTING MASSACRES AGAIN AND AGAIN, AS THEY'VE SWORN TO DO
Ceasefire? In exchange for what?
It is as empty a term as the “two-state solution,” which the Palestinians have rejected time and again.

In 2011, Yahya Sinwar was one of those Israel released in a hostage swap. See where that got us.
The White House issued a joint statement
on Aug. 16 from the United States, Egypt and Qatar about a hostage and
ceasefire deal. Missing from those in agreement are Israel, Iran and its
proxy armies, Hamas and Hezbollah. Are these folks completely crazy?
Egypt is the very country that refused to offer the slightest shelter to
Gazan civilians who wished to escape—the same country that greedily
profited for years from the weaponized, underground tunnels built by
Iran/Hamas. Qatar? Iran’s paymaster and Taliban supporter does not bring
clean hands to this statement. Who are they to have any say in this
matter? America? Don’t even get me started.
A “ceasefire?” In
exchange for what? What if there are only two Israeli hostages left
alive; is that sufficient to justify a “ceasefire?” Israel cannot afford
to free another 1,000 Palestinian Islamist terrorists in order to
ransom another Gilad Shalit. Last time, senior Hamas leader and Oct. 7
mastermind Yahya Sinwar was one of those Israel released. See where that
got us. Also, the phrase “ceasefire” is a delusion; it is no guarantee
that Iran/Hamas/Hezbollah will not commit massacres again and again, as
they’ve sworn to do. “Ceasefire” is as empty a term as the “two-state
solution,” which the Palestinians have rejected time and again.
Recently, journalist David Remnick spent 13 pages in The New Yorker
on a too-positive portrait of the sadistic psychopath, Sinwar, whom
even Remnick admits is hero-worshipped by the Gazans; even Remnick
concedes that Hamas soldiers fight dressed as civilians and that the
civilians support Hamas. Remnick portrays only the Israelis in a
negative light, quoting only a handful of left-wing Israelis whose
specialty is criticizing their own country. There are no civilians in
Gaza. With some very endangered and silent exceptions, they are all
Hamasniks, all Jew-haters in their very bones.
OK, I get it.
Israel screwed up beyond belief in not trusting the military
intelligence they had before Oct. 7, maybe also by choosing a policy of
“mowing the lawn” instead of launching a pre-emptive attack against
Hamas and Iran long before now. But here we are. The entire world has
propagated the filthiest lies against Israel and is now condemning the
small nation for daring to fight back. Enough! If I were the Emperor of
Ice Cream, I would launch a pre-emptive attack against Iran’s nuclear
facilities; institute a death penalty in Israel; and execute in battle
every single fighter affiliated with Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthi, etc.,
fighter.
These suggestions are not out of bloodthirsty revenge.
They are to demonstrate to our enemies that Israel is here to stay. It’s
not going anywhere. Israel is strong enough and savvy enough to play by
the rules of the Arab street—and not only by the “higher” ethical
standards of defenseless, Diaspora Jews. Israel must be victorious in
order for the 2020 Abraham Accords between Israel and the Sunni Arab
states to succeed. And succeed they must.
