Entirely on Hamas

If Hamas had not attacked Israel, there would have been no IDF response in Gaza. If Hamas had allowed Palestinians to follow Israel's instructions to leave, there would be no Palestinian noncombatant casualties. Every civilian death in this conflict must be laid at the feet of Hamas.    

Another Russian Pogrom

Jews were being hunted in Dagestan last night. A commercial jet had departed from Tel Aviv and touched down in that heavily Muslim area of the former Soviet Union. The local populace attacked the airport and a hotel looking for Jews to attack. At least two people were reported to have been critically injured. This particular pogrom did not happen in 1895 or the Holocaust but is ongoing as Jews who have nothing to do with Israel or Gaza are sought out for murder. As a Jew, I must warn that we should at the moment stay within our own enclaves and arm ourselves to protect our lives wherever it is legal to do so, and consider leaving in any of the places where we are not permitted the means of self-protection for localities where we may bear arms. We can't rely on those who may not have our best interests at heart for our security. 

So Very "Offensive"

Israel has gone on the offensive. The IDF is trying to rescue hostages and bring terrorists to justice (or justice to  terrorists). Around the world many millions rally not for the Israeli forces of civilization and decency but in support of the bloody handed butchers of Hamas. That is what is really offensive. 

Israel Solely Responsible!

I agree with many that Israel is "responsible".  Israel is responsible for safeguarding the Jewish State. Israel is responsible for restoring and guarding Israel's borders. Israel is responsible for eliminating the butchers who slaughtered innocent Jews and even beheaded babies. Israel is responsible for stopping the barrage of rockets and missiles from not just Gaza but also Lebanon. Israel is responsible for defending civilization from the attacks of atavistic savages. 

A Glaring Insult

Why do world leaders outside of Israel feel compelled to demand Israeli "restraint"? Did they make similar demands of Hamas? Israel has not deliberately targeted Palestinian civilians? Can the same be said of the Palestinian resistance (whose primary target has always been Jewish civilians)? Israel is warned, even by the US, not to commit "war crimes" The IDF is the entity that is stopping an enemy that commits nothing but war crimes and crimes against humanity. Instead of calling out Israel for trying to preserve innocent life, how about calling out the monsters who have the world's most extensive concentration of fortified tunnels but will not permit their civilians in them as the underground fortress is solely to protect the terrorists and their munitions, while their women and children are kept above ground to serve as cannon fodder, so the savages can show carnage they caused but say "look at what these evil Jews did". 

Holding Israel Back

Israel, to ensure the survival of the Jewish State, must eradicate Hamas. Tragically, the elimination of Hamas must be the sole focus of the IDF, who can't concern themselves with the survival of the hostages. Those abducted face a horrible fate because of the butchers of Hamas, not because of the actions Israel must take. To permit the survival of Hamas means Jews wear a target in the Jewish homeland until the Jews are annihilated, which is intolerable. Netanyahu must do what is necessary to restore deterrence, or Jews everywhere will face the horrid fate of those that lived on the periphery of Gaza. 

Our Dementia Disaster

Does anyone actually believe Joe Biden is at the top of his game? Do you think Biden is hands-on, really running anything? If he is not (and only an idiot would contend Biden is still making vital decisions and in charge of relations with other countries and our security), who is? Crooked and fading old Joe has unleashed unprecedented peril across the globe with his bobbling and glaring weakness.
