October 7th was the epitome of evil. But many now call for a ceasefire. Many blame Israel. Many support Hamas. But supporting a terrorist organization that slaughtered (for what better word is there) innocents without cause is beyond the pale. Among the 1,400 butchered were 33 Americans. And demonstrations here actually support Hamas barbarity. On campuses too, on which the administrators have no backbone, anti-Semitic hate is on display. What have we become? Has our once great country become a megaphone for hate? Is civil society broken? With a POTUS bereft of intelligence and leadership we may well be on that road.
Abbreviated history. Many Palestinians call Israel home. They began to evacuate Gaza in 1967, and Palestinians and Arabs now comprise about 21% of Israel’s population. The Israelis withdrew their settlers and military from Gaza in 2005, but still control its land and maritime borders and airspace. Hamas won a legislative election in 2006 ousting Fatah, the dominant Palestinian political faction. In 2007, Egypt and Israel “enforced tight restrictions on movements and access to goods and individuals.” (CIA, The World Factbook) Within Gaza, 80% live in poverty. (United Nations) Where does the billions in “humanitarian” aid go? Gaza could have peace and prosperity for its people but Hamas (and Iran) do not want peace and prosperity as the sub-human acts of October 7th illustrate.
Who then is Hamas? An offspring of the Muslim Brotherhood, it was created in 1988. Their original Covenant (revised in 2017) consisted of Thirty-Six Articles and began, “Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.” That’s genocide. (Articles Seven/Thirteen). And you Freemasons, Lions and Rotary club members, I direct your attention to Article Twenty-Eight.
So in light of October 7th, Israel is faced with a “necessary” war. Why? (1) Hamas and other Iranian proxies, threaten the stability of the Middle East. And unfortunately, it is once again Israel’s burden to shoulder. (2) Hamas targets civilians and makes them shields, Israeli or Palestinian. Most would call that a war crime. (3) Mass murder is the rule rather than the exception. And as the Hamas “Go Pro” cameras show, it’s celebrated. (4) Israel must make a response THEY deem necessary, not proportional. I cannot speculate what Israel will do but I hope what they will do is exterminate the threat. Yesterday, November 1, a Hamas political leader said, “the October 7 attack against Israel was just the beginning,” vowing to launch a second, a third, a fourth attack until the country is annihilated. So after six decades of cease fires, appeasements, and proposals of a two-state solution have been continually violated or rejected by Palestinians, somehow this is Israel’s fault.
I see many COEXIST bumper stickers in this neck of the woods. But coexistence, according to Hamas, may only occur under Islam’s hand. (Article Six) Now ask yourself, how many of the over ten million illegals from 150 countries welcomed by Biden’s open border are of the same ilk as Hamas? And suddenly, the FBI is finally warning about acts of terror, not by school parents or MAGA Republicans or white supremacists, but by those crossing the border illegally. Somewhat late but welcome to the party folks. But what do Mayorkas and Biden do? Nothing. I’m beginning to think they both hate the country. 2024 can’t come fast enough.
