Six Israeli hostages are executed in cold-blood as the IDF prepared to free them from their captors. So, of course, Pro-Palestinian protestors flood the streets and campuses across the USA to stand with Hamas.
Should we be surprised? They used images of paragliders back in October to advertise protests before Israel fired a single shot. The used images of broken glass on posters advertising a protest on the anniversary of Kristallnacht. They have protested on Holocaust Rememberance Day, and in front of the Holocaust Museum.
So profound the sadness and anger, Tel Aviv streets are packed with protestors begging for a ceasefire deal. It seems the Israelis are so exhausted from grief, they are prepared to have the IDF simply lay down their arms and let Hamas get away with the murder of innocents. Why not? The world has abandoned them, the UN, UNICEF, and aid organizations from around the world have condemned them, why not put the blame on the only person who is bringing the fight to the enemy; Netanyahu?
It not easy to be resilient in the face of the antisemetic masses. I weep for my Jewish brothers and sisters, but we cannot and must not let the forces of evil win. Hamas, like the protestors are not open to negotiations. And where as the protestors lack tact, sense, and general knowledge, Hamas refuse all good faith proposals. They won’t sign a ceasefire that includes closing the Philadelphii pass because they will be moving in weapons during the next ceasefire to perpetrate the next 10/7
And Biden himself answering a flat “NO” when asked if he thinks BiBi is doing enough only gives both Hamas and the protestors hope and legitimacy. “Hope springs eternal” that the next deal will work. How many more rapes and murders will take place the next time the ceasefire is broken? How many concessions should be made by Israel this time to placate the murderers?
Former National Security Advisor for 4 US presidents, KT Macfarland, said it best. Kamala is seeking a two-state solution: Minnisota and Michigan. In her efforts to win the presidency, she has spoken out both sides of her mouth in hopes to appease the protest constituents. Her strength demonstrated by skipping BiBi speech to a joint session of congress. After hearing of the death of 6 hostages, including one US citizen, this move is especially aborrant and ignorant.
Trump says if you’re a Jew and you vote for the (D) party, you should have your head examined. And though lacking the empathy of those grieving, it demonstrates the leadership and cold hard truth needed to defeat the enemy. I hope people are listening.
