The Second Month Of War, Part One
As the war between Israel and Hamas enters into its second month, I feel it important to note a number of points not covered in any detail by the somnolent sycophant mainstream media.
A first point, and one that can not be emphasized enough, is that the October 7th invasion of Israel by Hamas did not materialize out of ”thin air.” The operation was well planned, well outfitted and well funded. The outfitting was primarily handled by Iran who supplied weapons and the thousands of rockets used in the attack. Iran handled much of the funding but significant funding came also from…us! That’s right, us. The US. The United States of America. And that funding was both direct and indirect. The direct funding was via Iran with the release of 6 billion dollars of frozen Iranian assets, courtesy of Joe Biden and the “progressive” Democrats who are pulling his strings. Although there is now some debate as to how much of the 6 billion actually has been deposited, that is beside the point because even just publicizing the release of frozen funds would have allowed Iran to borrow additional monies from other sources which they then could use to arm Hamas and fund the preparations necessary for the attack. And, there are indications that a tidy sum of 148 million dollars of “humanitarian” CASH from Mr. Biden was deposited directly in Palestinian coffers (all of which went to Hamas), just days before the attack!
In addition to all of the above, Mr. Biden helped the Iranian regime, big time, in another way. By cancelling the Keystone pipeline (this was actually the FIRST thing Biden did upon taking office!), he immediately boosted the price of crude oil on world markets, thereby allowing Iran’s petroleum revenue to SOAR and resuscitate its moribund economy. (I imagine that the Ayatollahs had a good laugh over that one!). So, the doddering and hapless Joe Biden (and his puppet masters) turn out to be the GREAT ENABLERS of the Oct 7 invasion. I hope they’re happy.
Next, the Hamas invasion brings out a very basic point about the supporters of Hamas that dwell IN OUR MIDSTS. A couple of days after the October 7th invasion, there is a video of a Fox News reporter trying to interview Rashida Tlaib, a Democrat congresswoman from Michigan’s 12th district and vehement supporter of Palestine (and, by association, Hamas). The video of the “interview” can be viewed via the following link:

In that video we can see Ms. Tlaib refusing, again and again, to answer pointed questions about the atrocities committed by Hamas. Questions about the rape and murder of civilians and the beheading of BABIES were completely ignored by the usually vociferous Tlaib. It would have been the easiest thing in the world for her to respond to the questions by saying something like: “Although I support the goals and aspirations of the Palestinian people, I condemn the methods used by Hamas” or some similar response. It would have been VERY easy to provide such an answer. And it would have been morally correct. But, ladies and gentlemen, she DID NOT DO SO! She DID NOT CONDEMN THE ATROCITIES CARRIED OUT BY HAMAS on Israel civilians including women and children. Why?… The inescapable conclusion must be that she is IN FAVOR of all that Hamas has to offer, atrocities and all the rest! Reprehensible, I think you’d agree. Ghoulish, even.
Next, it should be apparent, by now, that the fantasy of a “two state solution” must finally be put to rest. As pointed out by scholar Robert Spencer and numerous other commentators, the Palestinians, being Muslims, feel it is their Koranic duty to kill Jews (the hoped for “End of Days” will not, you see, come to pass until Muslims have killed every Jew), and, as a consequence, will never be willing to live alongside Israel in peace.
Lastly, it is the height of irony, that, after their unprovoked and barbaric invasion of Israel, Hamas, now, is asking for a truce! And, it should be pointed out that Islamic law allows for truce negotiations only for two reasons:
1: It is allowable for Muslims to enter into a truce in order to regroup and strengthen their position.
2: It is allowable for Muslims to enter into a truce if they feel that the enemies of Allah might convert to Islam, thereby eliminating the need for more warfare.
Since it is clear that the second condition (the Jews converting to Islam) is impossible, only a strategic “regrouping” truce would be possible. Such a truce would give Hamas “breathing room” with which they would regroup and begin attacks anew. A truce or ceasefire, therefore, would have no value to Israel in anyway.
But even if Hamas were to sign a truce (provided that Israel was willing to accept one) it should be pointed out that any truce that might be signed would not be worth the paper it’s written on. Why so? Well it turns out that reneging on a truce is consistent with the example set by Muhammad in the seventh century. Remember, because Muhammad is said, by Muslims, to be “the perfect man”, anything he advocated or did is, of necessity, deemed morally correct and justified. Now, it just so happens that Muhammad famously broke a very important truce that he had previously agreed to, the Treaty of Hudaybiyah, with the Quraysh tribe in 628 AD. The treaty was supposed to ban fighting between the Muslims and the Meccans for 10 years, but, in 630, just two years later, he broke the truce, supposedly on direct orders from Allah. So, because Mohammad was allowed to break a truce he had negotiated and signed, modern Muslims, including the Palestinians are able to do so as well, should it become advantageous for them to do so. So, signing a truce with Hamas would provide Israel with no lasting guarantee of peace, and is, accordingly NOT in It in Israel’s interests.
Without doubt, unfortunately, world sentiment and media coverage will conveniently develop amnesia for the atrocities committed by Hamas which started the war and brought retribution upon themselves. In time, it will be made to appear that Israel is the aggressor and it will be pressured to cease and desist. I’ll take a look at this issue in my next essay which will be soon to follow.
“Never again ever forget” These were the words uttered after the Holocaust at the end of World War II. For those of you who have forgotten this was the slaughter of six million Jews by Nazi Germany. This included one. Million children. It involved transporting five million people of Jewish extraction to Germany for the sole purpose of their brutal extermination. It didn’t take much more than a generation to forget or deny that this occurred. Israel has been dealing with a continual rocket bombardment by their Arab neighbors but the actions of Hamas was unbelievably brutal with the butchering of babies. Is there any reason that Israel can no longer risk Hamas living next door in Gaza? If you don’t want a war then don’t start one. Remember that Hamas attacked Israel in an especially savage manner and yet the world cannot wait to condemn Israel for fighting back. How quickly we forget.
