“For too long the world has appeased Iran, that appeasement must end now.” - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in his September 27th address* before the United Nations General Assembly
As I write this it's mere days away from October 7th and the one year anniversary of Hamas' most brutal and savage attack against the Jewish people since the days of the Holocaust. Forever to be known as “Black Saturday,” Hamas slaughtered innocent music festival goers as well as men, women, and children living in Kibbutzim not far from the Gaza border, while kidnapping others to be used as pawns in negotiations they knew would, for the most part, go nowhere. And Hamas did all this for no other reason than to kill Jews, with Jewish Americans now also included in the dead.
And while many nations condemned Hamas' actions at first, some nations have slowly walked back said condemnation when Israel's rightful retaliation saw the civilian death toll in Gaza starting to rise. So here I pose a simple question, as in how can any civilized nation...how can any civilized individual...look away from the happenings of October 7th especially when, in a misguided attempt, the naysayers are now trying to blame the victims instead of those who did willfully commit unspeakable acts of barbarism and savagery on innocent Israeli citizens.
Just recently, the United Nations in what equates to an act of “shunning” the Jewish State has proven the old adage that “if you don't condemn you condone.” How so? Simply, their recent breach of protocol, common courtesy, and overt disrespect for Israel was on display for all to see when on September 27th Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu started to deliver what was a scheduled speech before the UN General Assembly...a speech replete with truths some did not want to hear...a speech seeing many delegates simply standing up, turning their backs on Netanyahu, and then walking out of the great hall.
A message of hate sent...a message purely antisemitic in nature delivered...as UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres did nothing to stop this overtly hateful show of disrespect towards a fellow member nation and its duly elected leader. And while the usual “gang of delegates” from the U.N.'s Israel hating bloc were expected to walk out...as in delegates from Iran, Indonesia, Turkey, Kuwait, Pakistan, Malaysia, and Cuba for example... others walking out were somewhat unexpected with but one example being the delegates from Ireland. So to the Irish delegation...to Ireland's governing body...I say that if you don't stand in support of Israel and their ongoing “war of survival” you actually do side with terrorists. What a sad and shameful commentary indeed especially for a nation that has been the recipient of many such terrorist acts, albeit of the homegrown kind, leaving Netanyahu to rightfully call the U.N. a “swamp of antisemitic bile.”
And even as Netanyhau was speaking, Lebanon to Israel's north saw Hezbollah...yet another proxy of Iran...continuing to lob rockets into Israel's northern territory, after Israel “took out” Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah in a surprise attack...an attack courtesy of what is claimed to be U.S. made 2,000-pound bombs. And Biden was not forewarned of this attack nor was anyone else for sadly Israel can no longer fully trust anyone but themselves.
So if Biden's what amounts to codding Israel's enemy wasn't bad enough, he also stated to reporters that the U.S. will be “offering advice” to Israel...to Netanyahu...on how to respond to Iran's attack, as if Israel gives a damn about anything that Joe Biden has to say. And while I had hoped that said retaliation would have taken place before the October 7th anniversary...so that the dead could rest somewhat in peace...know that retaliation will come at the time and in the guise that Israel alone will decide.
And to that effect the easiest and most feasible way to accomplish economic retaliation, logistics wise, is for Israel...for Netanyahu...to start by cutting off Iran's money source by physically destroying their money pit...as in Iran's oil fields and refineries. Doing this would drastically hurt, if not cripple, Iran's now already faltering economy. How so? Remember, war is both an expensive business venture and a game to play what with weapons always needing to be replenished and such...and with Iran's selling their oil to nations who don't like Israel very much, by Israel destroying Iran's prime source of income Iran would have no money to wage war which actually translates into no war games being played.
The second option, I believe, should be for Israel to cripple the entirety of Iran's actual infrastructure. How so...first by Israel redefining its targets to zero in on where Iran is most vulnerable, and here I believe it's in regards to their energy sector which encompasses not only their defense systems but any and all types of refineries, power plants...civilian served power plants included...and any other facilities Israel deems critical to Iran's economic stability. And while Iran might try to retaliate in kind, Israel would have done more damage to them then Iran could do to Israel by Israel's having targeting at the same time Iran's what are exposed military bases, defense systems, radar arrays, and any other exposed sites...power transformers included.
Simply, in crippling Iran's massive power grid...along with its economic infrastructure...actually gives Israel time to rethink the logistics involved in taking out Iran's nuclear facilities...the very thing Biden said we would “not in any way support.” But even as many continue to push this, I doubt Netanyahu would seriously consider it without full, unwavering U.S. support, and besides these nuclear facilities are very heavily fortified, mostly underground, and decentralized, thus possibly seeing a high number of Israeli military casualties in trying to do so. Remember, taking these plants out could not be done by Israeli-based rockets being launched, but would require Israel to enter Iranian air space thus giving Iran the chance of stopping said attack.
Also of note is that if if Israel did such a strike the retaliation from Iran would likely include their drawing other Israel-hating nations into the fray, thus expanding what is still a somewhat contained war outward from there. And WWIII is not something Israel nor any civilized nation wants.
But if push comes to shove the bottom line is that Israel will always rightfully retaliate against anything Iran or its proxies throw at them, whether it be their having to use their highly developed cyber warfare capabilities or even a “pager” or two courtesy of the “Israel Defense Force's Unit 8200”...a no longer needing to be kept secret cyber warfare and intelligence unit. And then there's Israel's Scorpius” offensive weapons...missiles which send “narrowly targeted beams of energy” that can disrupt enemy electronic sensors, navigation, radar, and other electronic activity without interfering with unintended targets.“Soft protection” Israel calls it...call it what you will but know that Iran will not like what's in Israel's arsenal of weapons, especially if they continue targeting Israel for annihilation. Let the memory of October 7th be Iran's final warning. Case closed.

However, Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to a short 12-hour so-called 'humanitarian cease-fire' to send in food, water, and such to hard-hit civilian areas. But even with this Israel will still face condemnation NOT only on the world stage for their rejection of Kerry's cease-fire proposal but also here in the U.S., as witnessed by Harry Reid and his Democratic ilk's unmitigated gall of trying to tie in Israel's $225 million emergency funding request for their Iron Dome defense system to an immigration bill that would fund the ILLEGALS entering our country. And they're doing it for NO other reason than come election time they can say Republicans who voted against the bill are either anti-Israel or anti-children.
Nice huh...playing politics at the expense of Israel...at the expense of the Jews...at the expense of children.
And sadly, among those who condemn Israel every chance they get is the U(seless) N(ations). In fact, in the days just before Israel's rejection of Kerry's proposal, they launched an international inquiry on the Palestinians behalf into what they call Israel's human rights violations and crimes committed during this Gaza offensive. But the UN really needs to stop calling the kettle black as they are the very ones who have allowed Hamas to store its rockets and bombs beneath their United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNWRA) schools for displaced children.
But even sadder was the vote tally on said inquiry...which became the resolution the Palestinians wanted. And while the U.S. did vote NO on the resolution, 29 nations voted in favor of condemning Israel, and 17 nations abstained including all nine European Union members on the 47-member panel.
And Hamas uses these deaths for propaganda as the dead are worth more to their cause than are worth the lives of the living. Reasoning in their own disturbed minds that their actions are done in the name of allah as per the Hukm al-Tatarrus (the current islamic law on using human shields) which states in part that muslims are to “accept the idea of sacrificing the shield and engage in a fierce war using weapons of mass destruction," Hamas claims to be God's holy warriors...allah's warriors. But they're warriors in their minds alone...warriors who seek revenge against the Jews for their (self-perceived) injustices against muslims, but what they really are is cowards for when one hides behind women and children a holy warrior is something you are NOT.
And those western nations that vote against Israel time and again, as well as Barack HUSSEIN Obama himself, do NOT care about any of this for Israel's demise is their collective goal. This resolution vote, as with all previous votes against Israel, boils down to choosing to side with barbarians over choosing to side with the Jews. And there are only two reasons for this lack of support for Israel...the obvious being the UN and Obama's muslim ties and sympathies and the other involves the old hatreds...for the fact is many still blame the Jews for the death of Jesus. These are the same people who forget that Jesus was born, lived as, and died as a Jew...they forget that Jesus the Jew knew NOTHING of the Christians who came after...they forget that God could have stopped His death if He so chose...and they forget that only by Jesus' death could Christianity be born.
So while Israel will sadly continue to lose its sons and daughters in this current battle...that is unless they go forward with all guns blazing so to speak...the civilized man understands this is a fight to the death...a fight for Israel's very survival...a fight that allows for NO compromise with the enemy nor does it allow for negotiations with those who side with said enemy. And know that this is NOT a battle about the small sliver of land that is Israel, but is about Hamas' self-perceived call for revenge over events that happened during the time of the Old Testament...events orchestrated by the hand of God before the time of allah...even if it means that to seek that misguided revenge they have to kill their own people and blame it on Israel.
And that is indeed evil personified and the saddest thing of all.
