I do agree with you, David. What really disturbs me is the near total absence of calls for Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, etc. to stop their wars of Jewish extermination and surrender. Most calls are asking Israel to let itself be attacked forever and stop defending itself. Instead of blaming Israel, the blame should be on the shoulders of those who kill, behead, torture, enslave in the name of Islam. It is total lunacy to argue that terrorist groups like Hamas, Hezbollah or the Houthis are oppressed and fighting an oppressor. That is not the record. That said, Israel may not be blameless about how it goes about defending itself, but given its geographical position, not to fight is to let the terrorists win. Unless those who criticize Israel have a plan to get rid of Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis, they do not have the higher moral ground to criticize Israel's wish and efforts to survive, which necessitates defeating its enemies.
>"Unless those who criticize Israel have a plan to get rid of Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis, they do not have the higher moral ground to criticize Israel's wish and efforts to survive, which necessitates defeating its enemies."
Exactly, and they never do!
Stephane, I take your point that " Israel may not be blameless about how it goes about defending itself." I would say in war, no party is fully blameless. Inaction is also not blameless.
All Western leftists love terrorists. All of them. Anyone with any sanity has abandoned the left at this point. Those of us who hold progressive values need to build something new that's utterly removed from the left's insanity.
Nor are there any calls for the Palestinians to recognize Israel and its right to exist. That should be one of the terms before they are recognized as a state or receive any rebuilding funds.
Perhaps there's no call (or at least minimal calling) for it because Hamastani cheerleaders don't want Israel to exist. Perhaps this is why they "care" about Palestinians in the first place. They see them as the best route to Israeli destruction and imperilling Jews once again. This might explain why there's a disproportionate level of concern for a group of people (the Arabs of Palestine) who first supported Hitler, and then support militant Arab leftism, and then supported militant Islam. The same poor people who nearly tore Jordan apart in the late 60s and early 70s and then proceeded to destroy Lebanon when the remains of Fatah were kicked out of Jordan. I mean who could not want to spend countless hours of their day worrying about their wants and aspirations of these little angels?
And what would the result be after the Palestinian Sunnis had killed and driven out the Jews, destroyed Israel, and proclaimed their resurrected mythical "Palestine"? The Shia Iran-backed Hezbollah would promptly sweep into the chaos, destabilizing the entire region and directly threatening the Sunni monarchy in Jordan. The entire region would go up in flames. A former center of Western modernity, technological development, and innovation would become just another war-torn feudal Islamic hell hole.
The Islamists are establishing a beachhead on a caliphate in the West, sucking in the stupid, meaning-starved, soul-less, and rudderless "Keffiyeh Karens" and "Jihadi Chads" on campus who think converting to Islam is so trendy. The question is, who will emerge on top of these re-hashed 7th-century grudge matches? The dark ages are upon us again.
“The West is acting foolish and that makes those of us who love it at times angry, at other times confused, and sometimes sad.”
What a mood. As a dual citizen, I believe 2025 elections will resolve some of the moral confusion here in Canada, with federal policy shifts that will educate, unite & codify public support against terror. But in the US? We are witnessing a mass racist hysteria where in every election scenario the terror supporters will retain a LOT of power —& there’s a void of unifying leadership in either party. A return to sanity will require decades of hard work at every level there.
We will prevail. The vast majority of the world is for modernity and freedom. Just have to take down some power structures and kick some leftist nazis to the curb.
As I have stated previously:”Throughout the history of the Jewish people and upon the formation of the state of Israel, its destruction and the murder of Jews by its enemies has never ceased and never will, until all the Jews are murdered. The enemies of Israel and Jews everywhere have told them so. They will never release the hostages alive, even if their absurd demands are met. They are fighting the Jacobins. At some point they will be disposed of by the barbarians they are cheering for. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Plan accordingly. Act accordingly.
There will not be yet another Jewish war in the Middle East fought and paid for by the goyim, who only get rewarded with a flood of angry third world migrants.
There will be a backlash to this, and as usual, you're going to be befuddled by the fact people don't like this insane, violent, literally ghoulish behavior, as has occurred for the past 2,000 years.
Who the hell are you, Kat? I welcome dissenting views and open discussion of complex issues but I will not tolerate rude nonsense or barking off orders with expletives to me. Next time you come with this attitude, you will be gone ASAP. -the management
It's not 2002. The goyim aren't signing up for another endless Jewish war, and if Israel wants to invade Iran or Lebanon (strange they're targeting Shiites when Hamas are Sunni Arabs--kind of like targeting Iraq when it has nothing to do with 9/11) or whatever Islamic shithole they're taking aim at, then it's doing it alone.
And if another flood of angry Muslims gets sent to Europe or the US by HIAS or IsraAid while Alejandro Mayorkas, Barbara Lerner Spectre, Alan Shatter preside over immigration, there will be hell to pay.
She’s blocked me and I have no idea why. “If the surrounding enemies of Israel put down their weapons, there would be peace.” You all know the rest of the story.
Nobody "loves" dead anything, and that includes Jews. This is nothing but insane narcissism speaking.
Setting off bombs disguised and hidden in cell phones so they go off in public places and kill children and civilians is not "fighting back," and celebrating and reveling in your ghoulish behavior while simultaneously playing the victim does not make you righteous.
This is the type of neurotic, vindictive, backhanded behavior that has caused reactions for centuries. Do not be surprised when people get angry about this because it's going to happen.
Aww I bet you just hated that when all those Hezbollah guys got injured or died. Nothing Kat likes more than terrorists aiming for the destruction of Israel. Go back to the rock you crawled out of. You are ridiculous. A joke.
Go whine elsewhere with your ridiculous drivel. Hezbollah is going down right now so cry some tears over that terrorist group which has colonized Lebanon.
Wonderful article David. Thank you for your work!🇮🇱

Bloody awesome. Thank you. Well said!
Great article David. Thank you 🙏🏻

It is incredibly sad.
Decades of hard work, indeed, but it's worth every effort.

Back tf off the warmongering.

Stop it. Because people have had enough.
Who the hell are you, Kat? I welcome dissenting views and open discussion of complex issues but I will not tolerate rude nonsense or barking off orders with expletives to me. Next time you come with this attitude, you will be gone ASAP. -the management
Just read what I wrote.

Everybody loves dead Jews. (Ackns to Dara Horne PhD.) Corollary: Nobody likes Jews fighting back.
Well, then, they're going to be in for some profound disappointment!
She’s just another weak, hysterical Jew hater. She washes up on multiple Jewish posts to do her ranting and shaming. Easy block.
Thanks for letting me know! I'm torn between the block and letting her make an arse of herself. Maybe I should launch a poll.
She’s blocked me and I have no idea why. “If the surrounding enemies of Israel put down their weapons, there would be peace.” You all know the rest of the story.
I haven’t seen that little bitch twit for a long time. She seems even more deranged
Right?? I guess the lobotomy didn’t take 🤣
