“It’s an entire nation out there that is responsible...This
rhetoric about civilians not aware, not involved, it’s absolutely
not true. They could’ve risen up, they could have fought against
that evil regime.
- Israeli President Isaac Herzog's
response when asked by reporters why no Palestinians have fought back
oroutwardly condemned Hamas.
As the Israeli/Hamas War shows little
sign of abating anytime soon, we see some in the misguided “court
of public opinion” trying to portray Israel's continuing
response to the October 7th terrorist attack by Hamasas
now being in “over kill” mode. But nothing could be
further from the truth for Israel has exposed for all to see...that
is if one does indeed seek truth...just how little Hamas cares even
about their own fellow Palestinians.
Hiding rockets, bombs, arms, and
munitions in schools and hospitals...which Hamas knows are in areas
teeming with civilians, also means that Hamas also knows that
“collateral damage” is sure to come and on a grand scale,
as even they know that Israel has every right to target for reprisals
areas and buildings from where said weapons were launched. But Hamas
doesn't care, and why would they as they willingly use both
Palestinian civilians and Israeli hostages as disposable “human
shields.” Actually, what these
actions of Hamas has shown to the world is that they areabject cowards of the very worst kind. And the word “coward”
itself should be but an acronym for Hamas, for only cowards pray upon
those they know cannot defend themselves.
And even with Hamas' publicity
garnering tears over Palestinian lives lost...again lives they
actually care nothing about...one can see that their final goal
remains but a replay of Hitler's “final solution.” And
they care less that history itself
has shown that war is never a problem's solution...the only
true solution remains in securing a lasting peace. But if lasting
peace is ever to be achieved between Israel and the entirety of it's
Arab neighbors...peace that goes beyond just the 'on paper'
recognizing of Israel's right to exist...all sides must be
willing to have not only an open-minded and civilized dialogue, but
an exchange of ideas which includes having the willingness to
“compromise”...at least to some degree...in the name of peace if need be.
Also, know that extremism and terrorism have shown not to have any place in “compromise”...in
fact both are the antithesis thereof...with but one exception
now being that the Hamas initiated war with Israel must immediately
come to an end via Hamas issuing what is a full and “unconditional
surrender,” for in their not doing so they, not Israel, are the
root cause of even more innocent Palestinian lives being lost. Why
so...because only when Hamas surrenders will the Israeli bombing
stop; only when Hamas surrenders will humanitarian aide be able to
freely enter Gaza; and only when Hamas surrenders will the
Palestinian people be able to even start thinking about a future minus all the
conflict and hate their leaders and their loyalists have created.
Remember, it's self-serving political
leaders and dictators...the hallmark of what has now become known as
“geo-political actors”...that benefit personally from war
whether said war be either an internal or external conflict. And the
wars they fight are for self glorification and for the condensing of
power which in turn expands and thus solidifies their control over
the masses. And the biggest losers in war remains as it has always
been, as in the innocent victims...“collateral damage” as
they are sometimes referred to...who have no means by which to fight
back. Sway the masses to your side, keep them inline with iron-fist
polices that allow for no deviation, and those few who do dissent
become voices not heard nor cared about.
“There is no difference between
Hamas and Palestinian people.”
- Mosab
Hassan Yousef, the Israel supporting and now disowned son of Hamas'
co-founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef.
When Hamas...who began as a spin-off of
the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood and who believes the
killing of Jews to be a rightful “Holy War”...took control
of the Gaza Strip after their 2006 election defeat of their political
rival “Fatah,” any semblance of sanity that the somewhat
more moderate PLO had to offer the Palestinians was thrown by the
wayside. And the Palestinians in Gaza knew well that those they were
casting their vote for were but a terrorist gang of thugs, thieves,
and hoodlums who relished in serving themselves at the expense of the
needs of the people. And the people also knew that Hamas was serving
as the area's Iranian proxy...a proxy whose goal was and remains the
total elimination of the Jewish State of Israel.
So now that Hamas is
treading on its “last legs” thanks to Israel's
fighting back, why else would Iran now be moving forces into
neighboring Syria but to expand a war even the mullahs must know
they cannot win. And their excuse being...with no tangible proof to
back it up...that a recent missile strike, that they believe came from
Israel, hit their consulate in Damascus and killed a senior
Revolutionary Guard Corps commander. But more likely I'd say this was
a “disposable” individual now willingly giving up his life to become a
martyr for “the cause”... “the cause” being Israel's ultimate destruction.
And as Joe Biden keeps twisting the knife deeper into Israel's back by
his calling for an immediate cease-fire between Israel and the Hamas
terrorists, the fact remains that the Israeli/Hamas
War will continue on until in the end there will either be peace or
the war will grow until one side is forced to annihilate the other.
Better now for all concerned that a permanent solution be found...a
solution acceptable to all parties, but it must be a solution that
includes a now and forever abandonment of all calls for islamic jihad
against the Jewish State of Israel.
But really, are there any tangible and
workable solutions to this war or will this war eventually die down
on its own accord only to be reignited at some future date? I believe
there is a path forward to peace but that only one solution is feasible, whether some like or accept it or not, and that is creating a “Palestinian State” which, when
created, will in and off itself help in the diffusing of a certain modicum of
hate. However, said creation does come with one key caveat...one not now or ever open to discussion...as said
creation must never...I repeat never...involve Israel giving up anymore of its land for the building of said state. Israel has already given up land, as in the West Bank, and all it's done is seeing the Palestinians wanting even more of Israel's land.
Simply, the only way this solution can work is if any of the 22 nations that comprise the
5,148,014 sq. miles of the Arab world are willing to give up a sliver
of their land for the creation of a Palestinian State...with...and
this is critical...said state created must not lie on Israel's border
and must not be governed by any terrorist supporting or condoning
groups. Remember, with Israel being but 8,630 sq. miles in size,
which roughly equates to the size of New Jersey, the combined Arab
lands roughly equates to 500x the size of Israel. Logic alone should
then dictate that the land for a Palestinian State should rightfully
come from the Palestinians fellow brethren...it is after all time for
them take care of “their own”...with
no land being taken from Israel nor should the UN or the U.S.
be the ones to decide both the fate of the sovereign nation of Israel
nor how Israel fights its wars.
This means that what some call a “two-state” solution
solely within the boundaries of Israel is a permanent “no go”
as is also an idea being floated that the Palestinians receive citizenship
under either one state or a confederation of states with Israel then being
their “overseer” of sorts. But I say an unequivocal “no” to
this idea for it's time those who call themselves Palestinians...or in some cases Gazans...learn to succeed or fail on their
own accord, and let the consequences of their actions be carried by them
alone.
Now here one might ask what about
Jordan for Jordan is already home to one in five of it's citizens
being of Palestinian descent. And while that seems on the surface to
be an easy solution to the problem as to where the Palestinians
belong, it simply is not. And why...because Jordan's Hashemite King
Abdullah is not now nor ever was the man he tries to pass off himself
to be...as in a man more westernized in his thinking and
beliefs...but is instead a man who actually runs Jordan as a “police
state,” and who is hellbent on keeping these people out of
Jordan...for economic reasons he so claims. But the truth is that
with there being many different “tribes”* who
call themselves Palestinians, Abdullah cannot afford their collective
numbers to outnumber those in Jordan of Hashemite descent, especially
when the one thing uniting said “tribes”
is a hatred of Israel and the Jewish people which itself could stir
up even more trouble than Abdullah is already facing.
A
possible powder keg within Jordan itself...the country lying directly
on Israel's eastern border...would surely arise, coupled with
the fact that Hamas not only sprang from the infamous Muslim
Brotherhood, but that it is the Muslim Brotherhood who still remains deeply embedded
within Jordan and who, with both Abdullah's permission and
assistance, remains a key player not only in Jordan's politics, but in
their pushing forward the rhetoric of Israel hatred. And this alone assures that Jordan is not
now nor likely to be a feasible option in regards to peace anytime
soon, that is unless King Abdullah himself was removed from power by
the Jordanian people alone. But that still leaves 21 other Arab
nations who very well might be a conduit for a lasting Middle East
peace.
And besides, it's well past time for
the Palestinians fellow Arabs to collectively not only take care of
but take responsibility for, the very people whose bloodline they
share.
This war must end with a lasting peace
in place...a peace most especially favorable to Israel while at the
same time being fair to the Palestinians who must not only break all
ties to terrorist groups but who, while it might sound a bit simplistic,
must now start teaching their own children not to hate. The only other option
seems to be that if peace is not reached anytime soon, if “collateral
damage” alone is allowed to take over the entirety of the public discourse, then the
Israeli/Hamas War will spread not just regionally but globally. And
this in turn will force Israel to do what Israel probably should have
done when hearing of the first Israeli baby being “cooked to
death” in a Kibbutz oven by Hamas.
Bitter thoughts, upsetting thoughts,
yet thoughts we all need to think long and hard about for the fact
remains that without peace it well could come to what, for now,
thankfully remains the unthinkable.
May the light of everlasting peace help to extinguish the fires of hate. Case closed.
