The Conduit Between War and Peace

“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 or outwardly 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 Hamas as 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 are abject 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.

Op-ed:

Israel: Fighting A Virtuous War

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio

The Op-ed posted here is my opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com nor Google

WARNING...this article contains a graphic image that may be upsetting to some.

Let me begin by saying that when current U.S. actions are taken in regards to the Jewish State of Israel...most especially when said actions concern either direct or indirect monetary, munitions, or equipment allotment... said actions are not being directed by Joe Biden but by his puppet master Barack Hussein Obama...I cannot say it any plainer nor more directly than that.

Also let me state that the temporary ceasefire between Hamas and Israel was not simply to allow for a hostage/prisoner exchange nor was it to altruistically allow for food, medical supplies, and fuel...aka humanitarian aide...to reach a group of technically non-existent people...a people ravished by a war their own side started. All this, I believe, was but window dressing of sorts...window dressing pushed forward by the Israel-hating UN and its allies (as in Obama and Biden) here in the U.S. to allow Hamas time to regroup, reorganize, and secure much needed munitions and monies from their string pullers in Iran, for what is Hamas but Iran's proxy army dedicated to wiping Israel off the map.

And while Biden seems to be mirroring Hamas' and Obama's ever catering monetary ties to the world's leading sponsor of terrorism, the situation will surely not end well for Israel, at least not for the immediate time being. Why so...because what was a true blood and guts war Israel was forced into now sees psychological terrorism coupled with innate savagery and unspeakable barbarism being Hamas'...hence Iran's...true calling card. And while it all began at a music festival and morphed into families being slaughtered, heads being cut off, people being burnt alive, and a baby cooked to death in an oven, the psychological aspects now in play regarding the hostages taken takes the very act of terrorism to a whole new dangerous and quite unequal level.

And said level began with the U.S., Qatari, Egyptian brokered cease-fire, which saw Hamas handing over to Israel a list of 50 or so names out of the roughly 250 civilians kidnapped on October 7th, and in return Israel handed over to Hamas a list of some 150 Palestinian prisoners they would release in return along with their temporarily allowing humanitarian aide trucks to enter Gaza. Simply, a three-to-one prisoner exchange deal was agreed to...a deal which appears somewhat lopsided in number but a deal made nevertheless.

And that leads to the question as to why did Israel agree to such a deal...why did Benjamin Netanyahu allow Israeli emotions regarding the hostages to simply overrule what appeared on the surface to be common sense? The true answer to said question directly lies in what separates the civilized man from the savage...what now separates good from evil and right from wrong...in that the civilized man values life itself while it's the savage who values, heralds, and relishes only in death.

And this difference can easily be seen in those belonging to islamic terrorist groups like Hamas...terrorist groups who deem martyrdom and death as their ticket to allah and everlasting paradise alongside 72 virgins, while the Jewish people (and Christians) value life above all else. In fact, one of the most basic and guiding principles in Jewish law is that human life comes first, with the Torah teaching its Jewish followers that every human being is created in the likeness of God, and that God “breathes within each and every one of us,” making each and every individual “a unique representative of the Creator within His creation.”

To those of the Jewish faith, not only is the life of each and every person sacred and of “infinite worth,” but the Jewish sages of old taught that, “Anyone who takes a single life, it is as though he has destroyed the entire world. And anyone who saves a single life, it is as though he has saved the entire world.” This concept, known as “pikuach nefesh,” means that the saving of life...even if it is only one human life...is above all else.

To put these words into a mathematical perspective, most especially needed during this time of war, each hostage saved, according to Jewish teachings, is “worth the entire world.” This alone...not threats from the UN nor from Biden/Obama and crew...is why the Israeli government agreed to the ceasefire and the unbalanced hostage/prisoner exchange. Simply, Netanyahu knows well that while Hamas gets back possible future terrorists, Israel more importantly gets back the continuation of its Jewish bloodline. And to the Jewish people the bloodline of God's chosen people is prime above all else and must continue on not just because it's been ordained by God Himself, but because the civilized man deems it as well.

Now compare those teachings to how the qur'an views human life. For example, followers of what I call the “political ideology known as islam” believe that Jews and Christians are but disbelievers walking the “incorrect path” and that they must change their ways and accept muhammad as the “Final Prophet” if they are to obtain their heavenly reward. In islam, faith and actions go hand-in-hand, meaning it's their islamic faith itself which drives islam's followers to commit atrocities against those of other faiths...atrocities that the events of October 7th have shown to the world just how little islamic terrorist groups like Hamas value human life.

And while both Jews and Christians are guided by God's moral laws as laid down in the Ten Commandments, islam's entire being lies with what's called “Al Tawhid”...as in a “Oneness of God”...as does their belief that there is no other god but “allah.” Virtue and acceptance of others is non-existent in islam for islam teaches hate, demands brutality and obedience of its followers, and deems martyrdom and blood lust as things to strive for and thus be rewarded for...as long as said blood lust is committed first against the Jewish people soon to be followed by the Christians...both walking the “incorrect path” according to islam.

So now that you have some understanding as to why Netanyahu allowed this lopsided hostage/prisoner exchange to take pace, to date...Friday, December 1st...as I write this, Israel has secured the release of 105 hostages...primarily women and children...including Israeli and dual citizens, as well as nationals of Thailand, Poland and the Philippines, while releasing 240 Palestinian prisoners, this according to the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. 

Sadly, as per an IDF spokesman, at least 130 hostages, including U.S. citizens, are still being held in Gaza...some probably continuing to be mistreated not just by Hamas, but by the Palestinian people themselves. Why so...because the anxiety of possibly being mistreated...which we know from those already released did most definitely occur...equates to the terrified hostages spirits being broken and hence they are more easily kept in line. And this anxiety manipulation...what in reality is indeed a form of “psychological warfare”...in turn ups the anxiety level that the hostages' relatives already feel as they wait to hear who will be the next to be released or who has died while being held captive.

And know that Hamas does relish in this most vile game they are playing...a game that revolves around not only the aforementioned Jewish belief in the sanctity of human life vs. Hamas' belief that Israel, the Jewish people, and her future bloodline must all be destroyed...but has now also become a sad game of Palestinian civilian “collateral damage” vs. that of Hamas deliberately killing their own people as well. And Palestinian blood does stain Hamas' hands for while Israel is striving to keep civilian deaths to a minimum, Hamas not only uses innocent Palestinian civilians as human shields, but also is refusing to let said innocent civilians who want no part of Hamas to leave Gaza City even though they know that in the end Israel will be in military control of the city.

So with the ceasefire having ended after seven days... ended courtesy of rocket fire from Hamas...it's my belief that Hamas has probably released all the hostages that are still alive, and now they need to go back to their Iran dictated mission of killing Jews. Most of the Palestinian prisoners they wanted have been returned so, for them, the hostage game is basically over. And while it's been reported that the family of the 10-month old Israeli baby has been turned over by Hamas to “Islamic Jihad”...a terrorist group as vile, if not more so, than Hamas...some reports are saying that the family is now dead...dead at the hands of the Israeli bombing according to a Hamas spokesman. And while I pray this is not true, as time goes on the hope that they and the remaining hostages are still alive dims.

And with the fighting between Israel and Hamas has resumed, history again shows that negotiating with terrorists is never a good idea and rarely ends well. So I say no more ceasefires...victory for Israel alone will end this war. And know that Israel...that Netanyahu...is planning for a long war with the ultimate aim being to take out Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Deif, and Marwan Issa...Hamas' top three leaders thus destroying Hamas' ability to ever again govern in Gaza...to ever again kill Jews.

Simply, it's time for Israel to finish the job...finish it with no holds barred even if it means having to turn all...yes all...of Gaza into dust. Hamas must be destroyed in total or they will be back to try and finish what Hitler, thankfully, was unsuccessful in doing. And it's way past time for the Arab/muslim nations to start accepting the fact that the so-called Palestinians are of their own kind...the bottom of the barrel perhaps but their own kind nevertheless... and start assimilating what they have referred to as being "troublemakers" back into their Arab lands.

The land called Israel belongs solely to the Jews...always has...always will...and the two-state solution be damned. And not to be forgotten is that the war now being fought between Israel and Hamas is also a war between the civilized man and the savage. Hear that Obama...hear that Biden...and most especially hear that you Israel hating organization known as the UN...hear it all and let the truth sink in. Case closed.
