Westerners must reckon with the reality that Hamas and other terrorist organizations are not outliers in the global Islamic community but rather are broadly supported by Muslims around the world, writes Robert Nicholson

#The #anniversary #of9_11 #is #upon #us, #except #this #year, #it #feels #different #somehow. Even more harrowing. Among other disturbing recent phenomena, the Hamas attack on Israel and the ensuing war in Gaza has led to a small, yet worryingly significant growth in support for Bin Laden, the orchestrator of 9/11. His terrorist manifesto, “Letter to America” calling for violence against Americans, Israelis, and Jews has been shared widely on social media platforms. Some have even questioned whether 9/11 was, in fact, an act of terrorism, suggesting instead that the U.S. was rightly attacked on that day. Until 0ct. 7, this sort of vile rhetoric was virtually unheard of in the years since 9/11 and should serve as a warning to us all that democratic Western society is under attack. Unless and until the West realises this, our values and freedom, just like the Twin Towers, will become a distant memory.

There will be no solution till you understand the problem. and the problem is NOT Israel
We have a saying that says: Tell me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are. From the sixties when the Palestinian people were invented, their leaders chose strife and terror. They directed their terror first and foremost against Israel, but also against every country that tried to host them: Jordan, Egypt, Libya, Lebanon, etc. The Palestinian leaders joined extremist Islamic organizations and terrorist organizations in the world. Until they reached a situation where they allied with Iran and even North Korea. When you look at who the Palestinian leaders surround themselves with, their intentions are very clear. One of the Palestinians' closest allies was Qassem Soleimani, commander of Iran's Quds Force. He is considered a saint and an example among the Palestinians. His life's mission was to create an infrastructure in the Middle East that would allow the spread of the Iranian revolution and build a base for an Islamic empire. He is the one who connected the Houthis, Hezbollah, Fatah, Hamas to Iran and transferred resources to them to empower them. He cultivated the connection and support for Bashar Assad which allowed him to commit genocide during which he murdered about 600,000 of his people. It sounds a bit Hollywood but this alliance cannot be defined in other words than the axis of evil. So who are the Palestinians and their leaders? part of this axis

Former Director, Office of International Affairs at Federal Trade Commission; Board of Directors, Washington, DC Region, American Jewish Committee
To prepare for children to blow themselves up and kill Jews, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad operate summer camps in which kids are indoctrinated in hatred of Jews, religious extremism, violence, and terrorism. Instead of playing sports and learning humane values, children are trained to use guns and knives, engage in hand-to-hand combat, and simulate capturing Israelis and firing rockets, with the stated aim of preparing the next generation of terrorists. For Palestinians to have be able to envision a future of peace, prosperity, and freedom, Hamas and PIJ must be defeated and their sick culture of death must be rooted out!

Albert Einstein’s April 1948 letter to American Friends of the Fighters for the Freedom of Israel: “When a real and final catastrophe should befall us in Palestine, the first responsible for it would be the British and the second responsible for it the Terrorist organizations build up from our own ranks. “I am not willing to see anybody associated with those misled and criminal people.”

Enough is enough.
Within Our Lifetime (WOL) is an extremist organization that celebrated 10/7; that demonstrated against NOVA; that mourned the death of Nasrallah. It has crossed lines that should never be crossed like openly aligning itself with foreign terrorist organizations that cry “Death to America” and “Death to Israel.” Yet the NY Times whitewashes WOL as a “pro-Palestinian group” that is “relentless” in “its criticism of Israel.” “Death to Israel” is not “criticism.” It is a call for genocide against Jews in the Jewish homeland.

📌 📌 📌 In this great article, Daniel Greenfield, announced the nation state building project a failure. Some highlights: 📌 Biden loudly claimed that the withdrawal from Afghanistan marked the end of nation building. And now he’s back to nation building again. He is very upset that Israel isn’t following the nation building playbook anymore. 📌 Nation building has failed in every single Muslim country it’s been tried, not just by the United States after 9/11, but by the British between WWI and WWII. Not only in the Middle-east it failed but across much of Africa, and parts of Latin America and Asia, where no amount of nation building could overcome tribalism, gang violence and political extremists. 📌 But Israelis saw it before Oct 7 and they certainly see it all too clearly now. David, Ben and Ezra aren’t dying in tunnels and bombed buildings to create another terrorist state in Israel. 📌 Faced with 30 years of terrorism, the nation builders see no other alternative to a terror state. 📌 📌 📌 Do you? Can you give an advice how to end this experiment of another terror state and come up with a splendid idea? https://lnkd.in/dq5FD5w7

IRAN PLAYING THE “INJURED PARTY IN ITS (PROXY) WAR AGAINST ISRAEL. The recent death at the hands of Israeli agents of a Hamas ‘leader’ in the country of its sponsor, Iran, has cause (confected) outrage in that country. Iran has issued a statement that this attack gives it the “right to retaliate” – the implication being that Israel is the instigator/the aggressor of the war which is now engulfing the region. This is not correct Iran, by proxy, is the planner, instigator, sponsor and comprehensive supporter of this genocidal war against the sovereign nation of Israel by Hamas and other terrorist groups of whom Iran is also the sponsor etc.. So it is ‘their war’ What is a ‘proxy war’? Proxy war is a military conflict in which one or more third parties directly or indirectly support one or more state or non-state combatants in an effort to influence the conflict's outcome and thereby to advance their own strategic interests or to undermine those of their opponents Engaging in proxy wars carries significant moral and strategic risks, It facilitates the widening of local military conflicts by supplying weapons, military equipment, and other provisions to surrogates. Continued support from the sponsor country, tends to encourage surrogates to keep fighting, with devastating effects to both the country or land occupied by the proxies and , of course, the nation they are attacking on behalf of their ‘sponsor’ Proxy wars have resulted in widespread famine, population displacement, and cultural devastation. Thus Iran is clearly the aggressor through its overt and active involvement at every level of the dreadful carnage and devastation which has ensued. ‘Ipso facto’ – after October 7th it was Israel who ‘retaliated’ and is the “injured party” What angers and puzzles me is the deliberate ignorance and hatred towards Israel displayed by (apparently) educated people in the Democracies who persist in accusing Israel of being the aggressor -when it is clearly Iran and its acolytes. One hopes that these people will begin to realise the meaning of the word “consequences” of their support for terrorists and terrorist regimes who despise the West, its culture, its History and everything else. What is that old saying “Whom the Gods wish to destroy, they first make mad”? There seems to be a lot of ‘madness’ in our Democracies.

From the onset of the war against Hamas terrorists, we have seen and heard about the notion of innocent Gazans. This is ostensibly a contradiction in terms. The reality of Israel’s war against terrorism in Gaza is such that a true victory is elusive, if not impossible. There are several intractable truths that we have learned about this ruthless, savage enemy: 📢 - Gazans roundly support Hamas. Differentiating innocents from combatants is virtually impossible. 📢 - Hamas is continually shape-shifting between civilian and terrorist entities. The true face of the enemy is difficult to discern. 📢 - Hamas is using the IDF's morality to great effect. They move around this veritable chessboard at will, laying down their weapons and blending in. This is now a strategic policy of intentional obfuscation. 📢 - Hamas is now emerging throughout the northern part of the strip as full-fledged armed commandos retaking territory evacuated by the IDF. The world’s fixation on this romanticized notion of the ‘innocent Gazan’ concept is horribly mistaken. Surely, we assume, the overwhelming majority of Gazans must be innocent and unwilling to perpetrate such heinous acts of terror against Jews. Surely? Such feeble-minded idiocy is the domain of misguided apologists and pro-terror sympathizers. Hamas is Gaza, and Gaza is Hamas, is it not? They are virtually indistinguishable. And this is a soul-destroying realization to come to. The notion of peaceful coexistence is shattered. This brainwashed generation of Palestinians do not seek peaceful relations with the Jewish people or Israel. As any cancer surgeon will tell you, the entirety of the malignancy must be fully excised. If it isn’t, the tumor will rapidly return with devastating consequences. But we know that neutral parties are living in Gaza. There are pockets of civilians who want to forge a peaceful end to the terror of Hamas. Most people worldwide are disengaged from the tactical operations of those who rule them. A minority of activists routinely rules the majority. This is precisely why there are so few leaders and so many sheep. Typically, this form of governance is acceptable. But not in special cases like Gaza and the West Bank. When a culture of violence and intimidation is the leadership ideology, the few cannot rule the many. Cowardly Hamas terrorists, operating as disparate entities, are resurfacing throughout Gaza. They are recruiting young, impressionable, hapless boys and men to do their hateful bidding. Flush with cash and filled with venom, their calling card is appealing to the innocents. How do we destroy this enemy with our hands tied behind our backs? We can’t, and we don’t want to fire on innocents. We truly don’t. We fight only as they present themselves. This is why the war must continue. It will be a long and bitter conflict. We must drop anchor and accept this. The IDF must finish the job. #destroyhamas #standwithisrael
