War

“Please, my lord give her the
baby. Just don’t kill him!”
- The
Old Testament, 1 Kings 3:16–28
It's a story from the old times...a
story about a solution proposed to what was truly a heart wrenching
decision. Most know the words I quoted from the story of King Solomon
and his so-called “baby splitting” decision involving two
mothers fighting over who was one baby's rightful mother, and thus to
whom he belonged. And with but one women alone speaking the simple
words “just don't kill him,” a mother's love was exposed,
and with it came the truth as to who was the baby's true mother.
A long ago king...a seeker of
truth...helped to expose the wisdom and righteousness that lies only
within truth itself, a lesson as relevant today as it was so many
millennia ago. And while today's circumstances are obviously quite
different, the righteousness in not just knowing what is truth but
being able to separate truth from lies, I believe lies within the
very soul of today's modern day seeker of truth...as in Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu...the man I consider to be one of the
world's last great statesmen. And only when his truth is accepted as
truth by all can justice finally be served even if it means pushing
aside the naysayers...pushing aside in this case not just
those referring to the discourse surrounding the war Israel is now
fighting, but pushing aside those who willfully, willingly, and maliciously try
to turn Netanyahu's truth into lies.
Simply, Netanyahu's truth is the
conduit by which facts coupled with actions taken have proven that
Hamas' goal...that Iran's goal...is to annihilate the Jewish State of
Israel...wipe them and all those of the Jewish faith off the face of the map, no matter where
they might live. And that truth envelopes
within it the fact that Israel is not just fighting for its right to
exist, but for freedom itself...and said freedom is not just for Israel but for the
entirety of the Western world...which too is at stake. And while Netanyahu
understands this all too well, he is wise enough to know that
circumstances alone, at times, determines whether justice... hence
truth...will or will not be served.
Israel is now engaged in a war between
civilized men vs. the savages...and yet Netanyahu sadly sees unholy
alliances being forged by the most unlikely of players for not only
are some of Israel's long held allies digging the proverbial knife
deeper into her back, but so too are some who claim themselves to be
either of the Jewish faith or have family members and/or friends
who are. And I think this not only hurts Israel and Israelis but Jews
and Christians...yes Christians...everywhere for while Israel is now
the outward enemy know that Christians are surely next on the savages
“blood lust” list. And with many Christian groups
bravely showing outward support for Israel, the common ground between
the two faiths makes for a common enemy in the eyes of those wishing
to do harm.
Thankfully, there is a key
commonality shared between these two great faiths...as in the overwhelming “will to survive.” And no one knows the true strength embedded within the “will to survive” better than
BiBi Netanyahu, the man now faced with a King Solomon-like
decision of his own. And it is all because long time allies and
friends are now doing the unspeakable not in the name of peace, but
for political expediency alone. Let me explain with but two key
examples.
Example 1: Joe Biden. When Israel's war
with Hamas started on Saturday, October 7, 2023 we saw, for a brief
moment, our country and our leaders uniting behind the Jewish State
as the atrocities committed upon innocents simply could not be denied
even by Biden. And with memories of the Holocaust never to be
forgotten nor ever to be erased, the visuals released of what was
done to innocent men, women, and children...some but a few months
old...was undeniable proof that pure evil does indeed still walk the
Earth.
And so we as a nation, together with the civilized world, did rightfully align ourselves on the side of Israel...that is until said tangible proof started being manipulated and
twisted in the minds of anti-Semites everywhere...twisted to such a
degree that innocent victims became collective perpetrators
of but a self-perceived wrong, while Hamas terrorists became the liberal
media's darlings supposedly just fighting against those who denied them a
homeland. Lies told, lies believed by so many even here in our own
country as we bore witness to the aforementioned Joe Biden of October
7th...the Joe Biden who unequivocally supported Israel...turning into
the very man who just days ago had the U.S. submit a draft resolution
to the UN calling for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza...a ceasefire
tied to the release of Israeli hostages...hostages even Biden knows might
no longer be alive. And besides, this proposed ceasefire is but
another in a long list of past ceasefires...ceasefires that did
nothing but give Hamas time to regroup, rearm, and fight on yet
again.
And this comes on top of Biden's
announcement of a few weeks ago that the U.S. military will start
building an “emergency pier” in Gaza...thus caving to
the demands of pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel supporters here in the
U.S... caving solely in hopes of not losing their vote come this
November. And Biden knows well that not only is this pier building a large scale
and dangerous military undertaking for the U.S., but he also knows that
it's an attempt to break a siege enforced not by an enemy, but by our
ally Israel...a siege done solely in the name of self-preservation. And yet
Biden still claims that this is being done simply to allow for the
flow of “humanitarian aide” into Gaza, never mind the well
known fact that Hamas continues to steal the aid currently arriving
in Gaza. And that includes humanitarian aid from Israel itself as
well as aide from both our government and private “humanitarian aide”
organizations that is airdropped into Gaza.
Simply, it's my opinion that Joe Biden
will continue to dance on the orchestrated strings of his puppet
master Barack Obama, the man whose personal hatred for Benjamin
Netanyahu coupled with his hatred for Israel and the Jewish people,
is the true director of this hopefully vote garnering, yet ever so
dangerous operation itself.
Example 2: Chuck Schumer. A total
disgrace as he has proven himself to be a Jew who while claiming to
be a supporter of Israel is anything but. Recently stating in a
Senate floor address that Netanyahu's government “no longer fits
the needs of Israel after October 7,”
Schumer went on to state that “the Israeli people are
being stifled right now by a governing vision that is stuck in the
past.” Untruths spoken only
added to by his closing words that, “At this critical
juncture, I believe a new election is the only way to allow for a
healthy and open decision-making process about the future of Israel,
at a time when so many Israelis have lost their confidence in the
vision and direction of their government.”
Sorry
Schumer but it's you and your Israel-hating, Hamas condoning Democrat
cronies in Congress who have lost confidence in Netanyahu's
direction, for his direction is the antithesis of your party's no
longer veiled support for Israel's enemy or for it's Hamas
supporting populace. And it's your words alone...words that your
“heart breaks at the loss of so many civilian lives in
Gaza”...civilians of which
65+% outwardly supported then and still support now Hamas' attack on
Israel...that have questioned a sovereign government's future...a
future Israelis alone must decide not a bleeding heart liberal like
you.
In
fact, House Speaker Mike Johnson said that Schumer’s call for a new
election in Israel is both “highly inappropriate” and
“just plain wrong for an American leader to play such a
divisive role in Israeli politics while our closest ally in the
region is in an existential battle for its very survival. We need to
be standing with Israel.” I so
agree with the Speaker's words, and might I add that not only is it
wrong but in a way Schumer's words, in my opinion, border on the
treasonous for what he is actually doing, in a round about way, is calling for the overthrowing of an ally's sovereign government.
But
thankfully, Netanyahu himself stood strong in calling Schumer to task
via a video call with Senate Republicans in which he stated
that he and Israel would “press on” with the war in Gaza.
My translation: the war will not only rightfully continue on with Israel's push into Rafah thus eliminating what BiBi has called “the remnant of Hamas battalions there,” but his strong words of defiance showed just how weak a president Joe Biden is on the world stage.
And after the call Schumer dared to add insult to injury by
declining Netanyahu's request to address the Senate Democratic Caucus,
with Schumer's excuse being that he did not believe that Netanyahu's
address would happen in a nonpartisan manner. And hearing that House Speaker Mike Johnson said he will invite
Netanyahu to address Congress. “I would love to have him come in
and address a joint session of Congress. We'll certainly extend that
invitation,” were his words,
but as I write this it's not clear if the invitation has yet been
extended or if it has been there's been no reply, to date, from
Netanyahu himself.
But the bottom line is that Sen. Chuck
Schumer is playing political games with the lives of Israelis in order to
score political points with Palestinian supporters, anti-Israel and
anti-Semitic sorts here at home which really is as vile and as low as one
can go. But this is exactly what you would you expect from Chuck Schumer, a
man who will not only do but say anything to help his old buddy Obama garner what would be his fourth term in office.
And so as I write this Israel's Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is still facing not only a rightful
continuation of this war...a war for Israel's very survival...but his
having to make a true Solomon-like decision as well. And with the
families of those still being held hostage... that is if they are not
already dead...the situation itself has become somewhat of a numbers
game. How so...because the question that must be answered is are the
lives of a hundred or so hostages...again being if any are still
alive...worth the risk of this war expanding into a regional conflict
and possibly beyond. Do the lives of the few justify the likely
deaths of so many or must the few be sacrificed so that millions of
others might live? A question for the ages...a question that can only
be answered as history itself unfolds.
How heavy Netanyahu's heart must be
right now, but in my heart I know that whatever decision he makes
will be the right decision for both Israel and those of the Jewish
faith. I stand united with Benjamin Netanyahu, I always have and
always will, for he is a modern day Solomon, and the God of Abraham,
Issac, and Jacob will be the one guiding his hand. Case closed.
