Islam's War on Israel

1. After Oct 7, the new rule was that Hamas would no longer be treated like a normal entity, but like an abominable evil that had to be destroyed...
2. Hamas has been losing...
5. Negotiating for hostages leads to the taking of hostages. Period...
7. ... This will have terrible implications for American support for Israel’s war effort...

There are several problems with a deal, of course. One is that any prisoner exchange can endanger Israel further by letting go some dangerous people and by making future hostages more valuable to take. Another is that any ceasefire is counterproductive to the offensive. Still another is the fact that Hamas apparently does not hold all the hostages – other groups and even individuals may have some...

"The spider in the web is Iran - had it not been for Iran, then Hamas wouldn't exist," Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus, spokesperson for Israel Defense Forces, told The Epoch Times' sister media outlet NTD.

However, China analysts, including a longtime insider from the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) elite ranks, say that an overemphasis on Iran misses the point.

"China is the ultimate enabler of the Iranian terrorist-sponsoring regime," Mr. Yu said. "Indirectly, China is responsible for this crisis."...

At the United Nations, China has a record of consistently amplifying the Palestinian cause...

... they [Israel] are the ones who were attacked and who now must make reluctantly clear to the attackers that they did not ask for and do not particularly enjoy the messy work of destroying them.

So we are back to square one: only speaking seldom and quietly, with the readiness to use force when necessary, achieves deterrence - and with deterrence at last comes peace.

The tragedy is that realist deterrence is moral, while naïve appeasement is immoral. Yet the former is unpopular and falsely dubbed cruel as it saves lives, while the latter is praised as humane as it dooms them.

On Sunday... Joe Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan all announced that the United States expects Israel to permit "humanitarian aid" into Gaza.

The implications of this position are devastating for Israel. According to reports, there are "hundreds of trucks" lined up on the border in Egypt to enter the Gaza Strip carrying so-called "humanitarian aid." These trucks, if permitted to enter, will not be inspected in any significant way. There is no reason to believe they are carrying baby formula and foodstuffs that will be delivered to the needy. There is every reason to believe they are carrying war materiel and jihadist fighters who have arrived to augment Hamas...

Hamas is Gaza. All the "ministries" in Gaza are Hamas. All hospitals are Hamas. Hamas's military headquarters is located under Shifa Hospital.

So whatever and whoever is in the trucks carrying "humanitarian aid," all of it will be delivered to Hamas and will be distributed to benefit Hamas.

The idea that it could be otherwise is absurd. And the fact that the Biden administration is arguing this absurdity is an outrage...

Similarly, the United States is providing material support for Hamas's propaganda campaign blaming Israel for the carnage of which Hamas is the sole author - in Israel and Gaza alike.

The United States is also acting in breach of binding international law...

The Biden administration has blood on its hands.

As soon as Biden took power, he resumed massive subsidies to radical Palestinians, canceled by the prior Trump administration....

His administration dropped sanctions against Iran, ensuring that Tehran would enjoy a multi-billion-dollar windfall to be distributed to Israel's existential enemies-another fact well known to the Biden administration...

Biden and company quickly restarted the defunct Iran appeasement deal - a leftover from the anti-Israeli Obama administration...

The Biden team has drained strategic arms stockpiles in Israel, designed to help the Jewish state in extremis....

It is past time that Americans deal with the medieval world that was revealed this week rather than keep dreaming in the fantasy world of our government.

Americans need to stop illegal immigration and restore their southern border, while ceasing all immigration from unhinged, hostile nations...

Islam is not just a religion. It is a politico-militarist ideology where religion is merely the glue to enable the aggregation and grabbing of unlimited power.

We know this from our own history, where Islam was used to vivisect India in 1947. Islam was used to drive out the Hindus from Kashmir Valley. Islam has been used to ethnically cleanse Hindus in both Pakistan and Bangladesh.

A hadith says: "Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews." (Sahih Muslim 6985) Read the beginning of the words attributed to Muhammad again: "The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight the Jews and the Muslims would kill them."

So this is not a hadith about the "last day." It is a hadith about the conditions under which the "last day" will come about, and how Muslims can bring about the "last day": by killing Jews. The true believers of Hamas are busy doing it now.

Iran provides funding and weapons to Hamas, as well as the Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah terrorist organizations. The leaders of the regime openly declare their intention to annihilate the Jewish state and their opposition to the signing of peace agreements by any country in the Arab and Islamic worlds with Israel...

...former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and Republican presidential primary candidate Nikki Haley said, "This should be personal for every woman and man in America, why? Because when they did this surprise attack, when they took these hostages when they murdered these families, they were celebrating, and what were they celebrating? They were saying death to Israel, death to America. This is not just an attack on Israel, this is an attack on America because they hate us just as much."...

This time, Iran's mullah regime attempted this gruesome terrorist attack on Israel as they felt fat and secure knowing they had a friend in Washington. Joe Biden's decision to unfreeze $6 billion in Iranian assets as part of a prisoner exchange should come under intense scrutiny as this huge cash flow has significantly strengthened Iranian regime's terrorist capabilities...

It is the purposeful targeting of the most vulnerable and innocent, the purposeful subjection of those human beings to atrocities and humiliation, the purposeful recording of the actions, the purposeful dissemination of those videos on the internet, and the purposeful demonstration of the jubilation of the Palestinian crowds at the barbarism...

The consensus of opinion right now is that Hamas has miscalculated and that their obvious brutality has alienated even some of their previous friends, especially in the West, and that will justify whatever retaliation Israel chooses... The Palestinians have long relied on the fact that the Israelis are not barbaric... with the Western world pressuring the Israelis to hold back.

In very somber tones, Caroline Glick deconstructs the pretending model and cuts to the heart of the issue. Regardless of diplomatic costs, the strategic killing of every element of Hamas must begin immediately, with extreme prejudice and without regard for collateral damage.

... in a larger sense the Biden administration has contributed both to the notion that Hamas was a legitimate Middle East player, and to the perception that the U.S. was backing away from its traditional support for Israel-to the delight of Hamas...

The Biden administration had recently released some $6 billion to Iran through a prison swap deal that saw South Korea hand over embargoed Iranian money to Qatar..

Note as well that the Biden administration has siphoned off key weapons and munitions from stockpiles inside Israel to transfer them to Ukraine...

Israel, on the 50th anniversary of the 1973 Yom Kippur War, is once again in a fight for its existence, and the gloves will come off...

For its part, the U.S. should make clear that it will veto any U.N. ceasefire resolution before Israel declares victory. And an actual victory will require Israel seizing control of all Gaza's territory and then going house to house, seizing every weapon and killing everyone who doesn't surrender...

The hour will not be established until you fight the Jews, and the stone and the tree behind which a Jew will be hiding will say: "O Muslim! O Servant of Allah, there is a Jew hiding behind me, so come and kill him."...

The Jews "strive to do mischief on earth" - that is, fasaad, for which the punishment is specified in 533: "they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land."...
