Vastly Different Reactions To Two Proposals For “Voluntary Emigration” From Gaza

Gaza is a crowded mess and there are two proposals for “voluntary emigration” which are getting vastly different reactions.

Situation In Gaza

The population of Gaza is roughly 2.1 million people, all Arabs, almost 99% of whom are Muslim. Roughly 39.8% of the population is under 14 years old, making it one of the youngest geographies in the world, with less than 3% of the Strip over 65 years old. The median age of 19.2 years old ranks it at #209 out of 227 areas scored by the World Fact Book. By way of comparison, the median age in Israel is 30.1, in USA 38.5, and 40.6 in the United Kingdom.

Gaza is small and highly populated, with a density of roughly 5,500 people per square kilometer, placing it in the top ten between Hong Kong and Gibraltar.

The US-designated foreign terrorist group Hamas exclusively governs Gaza since 2007. That means that roughly half of the Gaza Strip has only known the rule of a fanatical Islamist group committed to killing Jews and the destruction of the Jewish State next door. Fighters, typically aged 18-24, have known almost nothing other than Hamas and its mission.

As of 2022, UNRWA provided services to nearly 1.8 million people in Gaza, or about 83% of the population. It manages most of the schools in the Strip, many of which openly call for killing Jews and destroying Israel according to reports from IMPACT-SE. The report also covers that “13 UNRWA staff members have publicly praised, celebrated or expressed their support for the unprecedented deadly assaults on civilians [in Israel] on 7 October.”

Since July 2001, for over 22 years, the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research has shown that a majority of Gazans support killing Jewish civilians inside of Israel. It is therefore not surprising that an estimated 63.6% of Gazans supported the October 7 Sadistic Massacre according to the Arab World for Research and Development.

Israeli Minister Bezalel Smotrich’s Proposal Condemned

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said “a small country like ours cannot afford a reality where four minutes away from our communities there is a hotbed of hatred and terrorism, where two million people wake up every morning with aspiration for the destruction of the State of Israel and with a desire to slaughter and rape and murder Jews wherever they are.” As such, he expressed his support for encouraging “voluntary emigration” of the Strip’s population to other countries as part of his postwar vision.

The reaction to Smotrich’s proposal was quick. US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller labeled the suggestion as “inflammatory and irresponsible.” The New York Times reported that France and Germany had similar reactions.

United Nations’ Proposal Embraced

The United Nations also has a plan for Gaza. It involves the voluntary emigration of roughly 1.8 million Gazans for whom UNRWA provides services to relocate to Israel. It makes this proposal – still to this very day – as part of UN Resolution 194 which was passed in December 1948, over 75 years ago while the Israeli War of Independence was still being waged.

The proposal has long since passed its expiry date but dozens of Islamic and Arab countries, as well as the United Nations itself, keep on trying to breathe life into an idea to massively move over 80% of the population of Gaza – the majority of whom want to kill Jews – into Israel to extinguish the Jewish State.

Several Western countries and members of the progressive media were appalled that two members of the Israeli parliament suggested a “voluntary emigration” of Gazans to various countries but simultaneously embrace such emigration to Israel. It’s a peculiar mix of anti-Zionism and hypocrisy which seems very prevalent in these dark days.

The Only Way The Conflict Can End

When Founding Fathers Are Psychopaths And Cowards

Most countries were founded by professionals including lawyers and businessmen. Sometimes they included pharmacists, doctors and inventors. Often they included generals and military leaders.

As Palestinians now call for the world to accept a new State of Palestine in the aftermath of the October 7, 2023 massacre, it is worth considering a country whose founding fathers are psychopaths and cowards.

Consider that Hamas has ruled Gaza outright since 2007, so every child under 16 years old has only known a land governed by the U.S.-designated terrorist group. On October 7, it assembled well over one thousand people of its army and related groups and invaded Israel, slaughtering children and the elderly. Hamas led the horde to rape, mutilate and butcher Jewish women. They grabbed 240 people and took them into Gaza as hostages.

Members of Hamas clearly meet the definition of evil psychopaths.

The leaders of Gaza were not done with their cruelty.

Knowing that Israel would respond to get their people back, pursue justice for the fallen and make sure that Gazans did not repeat the attack, the leaders of Gaza hid in tunnels developed for their exclusive use and of their army. Readied with power and food, the leaders of Hamas sat tight in the underground bunkers and let women and children suffer from Israel’s bombing campaign above. The leaders of Hamas dined as they let their people starve.

Cowards, everyone of them.

It’s bizarre for people to use the expression “one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter,” when discussing Hamas. This action isn’t similar to Israeli leader Menahem Begin blowing up the King David Hotel in 1946 when it served as the British administrative headquarters, phoning in warnings in advance for people to leave the building. The Hamas henchmen entered people’s homes, bound families together and burned them alive.

Palestinian leadership is horribly twisted and evil.

Despite the deep depravity, a majority of “54% [of Palestinian Arabs] believe that Hamas is the most deserving of representing and leading the Palestinian people today,” according to a December PCPSR poll.

Palestinians have not disowned their leaders as yellow-bellied maniacs, even as they are being pummeled.

So what will future generations of Palestinian Arabs think about their founding fathers if October 7 turns out to a “war of liberation” the way celebrated by American university professors? Will Palestinian history books discuss how the founders of Palestine raped and sadistically tortured Jewish women? How they shot elderly people waiting at bus stops? How they hid underground comfortably while civilians took the brunt of Israeli reprisals?

Or will they lie to themselves and cleanse history that none of those things happened, even though the Palestinian Arab attackers filmed themselves in the act?

While psychopaths are mostly thought of as people who cannot discern between good and evil, a main feature is pathological lying and portrayal of victimhood. Psychology Today shares that “when caught in the act with their unscrupulous behavior, most sociopaths and psychopaths will not show signs of contrition or remorse (unless it is strategically advantageous for them to do so). On the contrary, they are more likely to double or triple down on their aggressive tendencies, increase hostility, deny responsibility, accuse and blame others, and maintain a facade of arrogance and conceit.”

Yahya Sinwar and the rest of Hamas are already being cleansed of any wrong-doing, with 75% of Palestinians supporting the October 7 massacre. Hamas leadership said that the October 7 massacre “is just the first time and there will be a second, a third, a fourth because we have the determination, the resolve and the capabilities to fight…. We are not ashamed to say this, with full force. We must teach Israel a lesson and we will do this again and again.”

Palestinian supporters argue that Israel’s attacks on Gaza are creating the next generation of terrorists. Jordan’s Queen Rania said Israel’s response in Gaza will “create a new generation of resistance that is fiercer and more violent.”

But it is not so. The repeated “aggressive tendencies, increased hostility” and blaming others are hallmark features of being psychopaths. People led by psychopaths for decades are becoming psychopaths themselves.

James Zogby, President of the Arab American Institute was invited to speak to the United Nations Security Council on June 27, 2023, months before the October 7 Massacre. While vigorously defending Palestinians he shared that there is a “tragic deformity in Palestinian political culture” with people preferring violence over peace. After sixteen years of Hamas rule, the “deformity” has metastasized into a deep rot.

A country founded by psychopaths will in all likelihood be a failed state, prominently featuring cruelty, and a populace blind to empathy and reason.

Hamas Is The Very Definition Of A Genocidal Group

“Deformity in Palestinian Culture” Is A Permanent Feature

When Our History Begins

The Rape And Torture Of Jewish Women By Emasculated Palestinian Men

On June 24, 2023, I wrote an article called “The Terrorism of Emasculated Palestinians” that highlighted the work of Sanam Naraghi Anderlini of the International Civil Society Action Network. Anderlini essentially posited that terrorism often attracts men because leaders take advantage of male egos. She asked “what does it mean to be a man? Whether in Liberia, Nigeria, Palestine, Jamaica, Yemen, Syria, Iraq.”

Anderlini contended that four themes emerge as critical elements for male self-definition and worth, the 4 “Ps”: Provide, Protect, Prestige and Procreation. She argued that men living in societies where they failed in their “manly” roles to provide for the family monetarily, to protect them, to have a position of prestige or power, or to procreate and have progeny, were easy prey for radical actors.

Just over one hundred days after writing the article, Palestinian Arabs did not only commit the largest single day slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust, they committed the most violent and brutal attacks against Jewish women on a single day ever. It is therefore worth reviewing October 7 beyond a battle for land or about religion but regarding gender.

Hamas takes Jewish women hostages and rape and mutilate others

Applying the four “P”s to Palestinian Arabs who raped, butchered and mutilated dozens of women yields terrifying conclusions.

Provide. Hamas rules Gaza and has made little effort to build an economy. They are wards of the world taking charity endlessly from the United Nations and donor countries. They spend money and time on tunnels to invade Israel rather than invest in their society.

Palestinians completely failed to provide and would rather steal the fruits of Israeli labor than sweat to provide for their families and communities. Should they fail to take over Israel, they know that donor countries will pay to rebuild the Strip and funnel monies into the society which will come to their families as “martyr payments” for killing Jews.

Palestinian society has built a terrorist-payment infrastructure, with global approval, in which they can provide for their families by engaging in terrorism.

Protect. Members of Hamas protect their own soldiers but not their families. They leave women and children above ground as cannon fodder while they stay protected in underground tunnels. The Palestinian men do not even pretend to try to protect, and focus solely on attacking Israelis, young and old, male and female alike.

Prestige. Shockingly, despite intentionally failing to provide and protect their families and communities, Palestinian’s toxic culture gives these terrorists prestige. Scores of schools, squares and sporting tournaments are named after mass murderers. Imams bless the killers as the holiest members of society.

There is little to no prestige to attain in Palestinian society outside the depravity-prestige of slaughtering Jews.

Procreation. Israeli Jews now have a higher fertility rate than Palestinian Arabs. Some of the reason is because Arab women are becoming more educated and fertility rates decline everywhere as women have greater educational attainment, as well as crowded conditions in Gaza.

Consider the 4″P”s and deep “deformity in Palestinian culture” as noted by leading Arab American James Zogby. Palestinians make no attempts to provide for or to protect Arab women in their households. They sacrifice Gaza and Gazans for the land they covet across the fence.

Regarding women, Palestinian men internalized that once they committed to abandoning their own women and children for their cause, those frolicking, relatively rich Jewish women must be hunted. The existence of free, dancing Jewish women on land that Arabs believe is rightfully their own, mocks emasculated Palestinians.

Anderlini said that generally, many men who try and fail the 4 “P”s to provide/ protect/ prestige and procreate, may turn towards terrorism out of desperation. But alas, tens of thousands of Palestinian men – perhaps millions – deliberately abandon their homes and families to reap the rewards of the terrorist-payment infrastructure and depravity-prestige built into Palestinian society.

On October 7, Palestinian men turned their backs and sacrificed their own Arab women, and descended to rape, torture, mutilate and slaughter Jewish girls and women by design.

ACTION ITEM

Destroy the terrorist-payment infrastructure. Demand elected officials not give any money to Palestinians unless and until the pay-to-slay program is terminated and no terrorist group sits in power.

End the depravity-prestige philosophy. No monies or support from any country until Palestinians remove the names of terrorists from schools, squares and public places.

The Three “Two-State Solution”s

There is a fantastic idea that has been floated around the Middle East for many decades: two states for two peoples, one Jewish and the other Arab. Even though the notion continues to be bantered in political circles, few details are understood about what that plan means.

The pro-Palestinian camp talks about “THE” two state solution, meaning the Arab Peace Initiative proposed in 2002. The United States and other governments talk about “A” two state solution, which could mean a wide variety of negotiated outcomes. The United Nations has a third alternative, which is the most toxic and has directly led to permanent hostilities between Israel and its neighbors.

“THE” 2 State Solution: Arab Peace Initiative

There are three primary matters which stand between Israel and the Palestinian Authority: land/borders; capital city; and the future of Palestinian refugees.

Land: The API calls for Israel to withdraw from ALL territories taken in its defensive war of June 1967. This would include Gaza, the West Bank, the Sinai, Golan Heights, and areas of southern Lebanon still under dispute. Israel has already withdrawn from some of those lands including Sinai, Gaza and many areas of the West Bank. The API seeks the remainder.

Capital: The API calls for East Jerusalem to be the capital of a new Palestine. An early draft of the API called for “al-Quds al-Sharif as its capital,” seemingly softening the stance to something Israel could accept.

Refugees: The API states that Palestinian Arabs outside of Israel will seemingly not move to the Jewish State. The final language of “Assures the rejection of all forms of Palestinian patriation which conflict with the special circumstances of the Arab host countries,” may only be in reference to UNRWA Palestinians in Lebanon, Syria and Jordan whom the API thinks should not have to settle them. The API language was in sharp contrast to an earlier version which stated “To accept to find an agreed, just solution to the problem of Palestinian refugees in conformity with Resolution 194,” which would have given Palestinians wishing to live in peace with Israel the option of either moving there or getting compensation.

“A” Two State Solution

The United States and Israel see the end of the conflict differently. Through the Madrid Conference and Oslo Accords, as well as other efforts made by the Obama Administration in 2014 and the Trump Administration’s “Deal of the Century,” the three major matters had different contours.

Land: Israel believes that it has already given back some of the territory it took in June 1967. It returned the Sinai Peninsula to Egypt and handed Gaza and major population centers in the West Bank to the Palestinian Authority. UN Resolution 242 (1967) called for “withdrawal of Israel armed forces from territories occupied in the recent conflict” which does not call for ALL territory to be abandoned.

The United States agrees. The Obama Administration tried to broker a series of land swaps which would have essentially given Palestinians a state on the same amount of land but in different locations than came about from the 1949 Armistice Lines (49AL). The Trump Administration started with the same concept that the 49AL were arbitrary and not conducive to long-term peace and that Israel has already complied with the land provision of Res. 242. Team Trump did not try to match a certain number of square kilometers with history, and instead sought to create borders which accounted for current reality on the ground and a dynamic to forge an enduring peace.

Capital: Israel annexed the section of Jerusalem that was divided for nineteen years between 1949 and 1967, and further extended the municipal boundaries. It considers the city its eternal capital, but has offered sections of the city to be part of a Palestinian State as part of the peace efforts, with American prodding.

Refugees: Israel has offered some limited number of Palestinian Arabs to move to Israel. The figures have ranged from 10,000 to 100,000 over time under different plans. The US position has long been that Palestinian Arabs should move to the new Arab State, as the basic principle of two states for two people.

The United Nations’ Two State Solution

The UN’s plan is the most aggressively pro-Palestinian of the three.

The UN agrees with the API regarding a new Palestinian State on all of the land in Gaza and the West Bank being part of Palestine, as well as East Jerusalem being the capital of the country. However, it continues to insist on the full “right of return” for six million “Palestine Refugees” who are registered with UNRWA in Gaza, the West Bank, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon.

The UN’s promise to Palestine Refugees has caused them to be frustrated by the failure to move to neighborhoods where grandparents used to live. It has led them to build terrorist tunnels to penetrate the land which the UN promises to them, rather than build an economy. It has kept them in a restive state for generations, not accepting the existence of the “Zionist entity” which they believe will soon cease to exist according to recent polls.

The United Nations’ adoption of Palestinians as their perennial wards has harmed peace in the region. It has a position on refugees which it knows Israel cannot accept, deliberately putting the Jewish State as the obstacle to peace rather than a counterparty with whom to find a solution. Permanently putting Israel on the defensive with one-sided resolutions makes Israel unwilling to seriously consider the UN on any matter.

It is destructive to any peace process for the United Nations to call for a “two-state solution” without clearly articulating that there is no “right of return” to Israel. The death toll in the region will certainly rise while Palestinian Arabs believe their future is in Israeli homes.

Palestinian Views On “Terrorism” Versus “Armed Struggle” Is Fueled By Propaganda

The quarterly Palestinian poll by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PCPSR) came out in December 2023 and primarily focused on the October 7 Hamas attack and Israeli response. The findings echoed the poll results of the Arab World For Research and Development which found that West Bank Arabs were even more supportive of the Hamas attacks than Gazans (82% to 57%) with three-quarters overall approving the attack. Hamas’s popularity similarly rises in the hearts and minds of Palestinian Arabs.

The PCPSR poll also asked about terrorism as it relates to Jewish “settlers.” The October 7 Hamas attack was referred to as “armed struggle” six times in the poll, while “terrorism” was mentioned eight times, each connected to Jewish “settlers.”

That is the essence of Palestinian Arabs and their supporters today. They believe that ending the “occupation” and presence of “settlers” is a just cause, and the most effective way to achieve that goal is through armed combat. In the West Bank, 68% of Arabs now believe that “armed struggle” is the best means of “ending the occupation and building an independent state.” That figure is 56% in Gaza, where Palestinian Arabs already have self-determination.

This is a continuation of a trend that gained momentum one year ago, as West Bankers have “a greater confidence in the efficacy of armed struggle,” as described in a December 2022 PCPSR poll, and believe that Israel will soon cease to exist.

Curiously, few believe that ending “occupation” was the goal of the October 7 massacre. Most believe it was in response to “settler attacks on Al-Aqsa Mosque and West Bank residents, and for the release of Palestinian prisoners.” Perhaps they marked the aims with more modest goals to prove the attack to ultimately be a success.

Of course, this is a fiction, as there have been no “settler attacks on Al-Aqsa Mosque,” even though Palestinian media repeatedly says so, including the Palestinian Authority. Jews visiting the Temple Mount during regular visiting hours is not only legal but unquestionably moral and a matter of basic human rights.

#FakeNews #JihadiFakeNews of Jews “storming” the Temple Mount

Hamas named the sadistic October 7 massacre the “al Aqsa Flood” as they attempt to purge Jews from the Temple Mount and Israel. They view the basic presence of Jews as a violation of the “sanctity” of Islamic holy places, both in Jerusalem and the entirety of the land.

For Palestinian Arabs, all Israeli Jews are “settlers,” both inside and outside the 1948 lines. The presence of Jews is “terrorism,” whether committing acts of violence or not. To address the matter, Muslims are engaged in jihad, an “armed struggle” to purge the land of the infidels.

According to PCPSR, “The overwhelming majority of [Palestinian Arab] respondents say that they have not seen videos from international or social media showing atrocities committed by Hamas members against Israeli civilians that day, such as the killing of women and children in their homes. Indeed, more than 90% believe that Hamas fighters did not commit the atrocities contained in these videos.

If they did, would it matter? Would they imagine that it was Israeli and western propaganda made with artificial intelligence? Would they ascribe the actions to a handful of individuals and say that they do not speak for Islam? They believe their cause is just and will support (or ignore) any actions to achieve those aims.

There are two important take-aways from this: 1) some causes are manufactured (Jews storming al Aqsa) and the propaganda around it produces violence; and 2) the danger in believing that violence pays rewards is real.

Some quick thoughts on addressing these.

Combatting Jihadist Propaganda Around Al Aqsa

  • United Nations confirms that people of all faiths – including Jews – have a right to peacefully visit the Temple Mount / al Aqsa Compound in the Old City of Jerusalem
  • Israel’s Muslim allies, including Morocco, Egypt, Jordan and UAE, should visit the Temple Mount together with Israeli leaders in a show of solidarity and openness for each other

Ending Notion In The Efficacy of Violence

  • United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres must clearly state and demand that Hamas perpetrators be brought to justice, something he has repeatedly failed to do, including after the October 7 massacre
  • Global support for Israel eliminating Hamas, a genocidal group with the most antisemitic foundational charter ever written, which has widespread Palestinian support. Palestinians must be redirected towards coexistence, not war
  • UNSG Guterres, Saudi Arabia and Israel’s Arab allies should state clearly that there is no “right of return” for Palestinian Arabs to Israel. Any future settlement will be in a new Palestinian State, hopefully finally ending the Arab quest to destroy the Jewish State

Palestinians refuse to acknowledge their own terrorism, regardless of its barbarity, and manufacture violence by Jews even when none exists. Ending the current fighting is a near-term goal which must include the foundation for ending future violence, or the current events will certainly be repeated.

Two Important Names Not On Hostage / Prisoner Exchange

Israel and Hamas are reportedly ready to commence an exchange of 50 Israeli hostages for 150 Palestinians held in Israeli jails. All of the people on both sides are reported to be women and children. The public has not heard who will be released but the information thus far has completely omitted the mention of two particular names as part of the transaction: Ahlam al-Tamimi and the Palestinian Authority.

Ahlam al-Tamimi

Ahlam al-Tamimi remains on the United States most wanted list for her role in killing 15 people, including a pregnant woman and seven children in a bombing in Jerusalem, Israel in August 2001. The casualties included three Americans.

She walks around freely in Jordan while she continues to praise the attack.

When Yael Lampert was in her confirmation hearing on May 4, 2023 to become the United States’ Ambassador to Jordan, she said (1:08:00) that “I will do everything in my power to ensure that Ahlam al-Tamimi faces justice in the US for her horrific crimes.” In response to possible US action, Jordan was rumored to look to transport Tamimi to either Iran or Qatar, possibly at the direction of Hamas.

Tamimi continuing to walk free under protection of the king of Jordan is an atrocity. The evil axis of Hamas, Iran and Qatar are continuing their carnage and protecting the murderers around the world, and Israel and the US are willing dupes.

As part of this hostage-prisoner exchange, the United States should insist that Tamimi be extradited to face justice for her crimes.

The Palestinian Authority

The Palestinian Authority is viewed by everyone – including Palestinian Arabs – as completely corrupt and inept. Yet the United Nations and the world advance the idea that the PA should rule Gaza after the current war.

How is that remotely possible? Will the PA suddenly be viewed as competent after the evil axis of Hamas, Qatar and Iran run the chessboard?

The PA must be inserted into the dialogue to give them some shred of credibility for the day after.

Hamas is only agreeing to the prisoner swap now in a sign of weakness, and Israel is engaging in it due to pressure from the United States because of the horrible civilian death toll in Gaza. Rather than use the current dynamic to set a future course where the Palestinian Authority has a pathway to leadership and Hamas understands that its terrorists will never escape justice, even and especially when so many are being released – including women, the Evil Axis is seizing victory from defeat.

Its like rewatching former Secretary of State John Kerry botch negotiations on both the Iranian nuclear deal and Israel-PA peace process in 2014-15, setting the region on a pathway for violence.

The evil axis of Hamas/Iran/Qatar beat Israel in the initial battle of the 2023 Gaza War by butchering 1,200 people in Israel. The United States is responsible for the second loss, setting the stage for a future where terrorism is allowed to win.

ACTION ITEM

Write White House on form: “Demand the extradition of Ahlam al-Tamimi as part of the hostage-prisoner exchange, and find a role for the Palestinian Authority to play for there to be a chance to peace. The current dynamic leaves the Evil Axis of Hamas, Iran and Qatar running the region.” one-click

Palestinian Poll About October 7 Massacre

A Palestinian poll about the October 7 Hamas massacre was conducted by the Arab World For Research and Development. It shows Palestinians overwhelming supporting the attack as a war to end the Jewish State and control of the Temple Mount.

Palestinian Arabs think that a Palestinian State covering all of the pre-1948 borders – which will end the Jewish State – is much closer to reality.

A total of 79.5% of Palestinians have become more committed to the dream of taking over Israel after the October 7 attack, while 71.1% have become more committed to that as the final solution to the conflict.

This is a continuation of Palestinian conviction that existed before October 7. In a June 2023 PCPSR poll, a slim majority of 51% believed that Arabs will be “able in the future to regain Palestine and repatriate the refugees.” A December 2022 PCPSR poll noted that “the Palestinian public becomes more hardline while indicating a greater confidence in the efficacy of armed struggle.”

That growing conviction of retaking all of historical Palestine via violence has made Palestinians in both Gaza and the West Bank very supportive of Hamas and its attack on Israel.

An estimated 59.3% and 15.7% extremely support or somewhat support the Hamas attack, respectively, or 75.0% in total. The percentage was higher in the West Bank (83.1%) than in Gaza (63.6%), as Gaza has been bearing the brunt of Israel’s response to the October 7 attack.

Hamas – and other Palestinian terrorist groups – popularity has skyrocketed, with 48.2% and 27.8% having very positive or somewhat positive views of Hamas, respectively. Once again, the popularity of Hamas in the West Bank (87.7%) was much higher than in Gaza (59.6%).

Other Palestinian terrorist groups had similar scores. Islamic Jihad support stood at 84.2%, al Aqsa Brigade at 79.8% and al Qassam at 88.6%. Non-Palestinian terrorist groups like Hizbollah also were viewed favorably but much less so at 45.1%.

The parties who have not participated in attacking Israel have limited support among Palestinians. The Palestinian Authority itself stood at 10.3% support, while the Fatah party was at 23.2%. Iran (33.6%) and Turkey (33.9%) were significantly higher with vocal support than were Egypt (14.0%) and Jordan (12.1%), Saudi Arabia (2.9%) and UAE (2.5%). Russia (39.5%) and China (34.4%) scored much higher than countries normalizing relations with Israel. The United Nations was at 9.1%, while the United States was 0.4%

While Palestinian Arabs seem to have greater conviction in the possibility of liberating all of historic Palestine and supporting the fighters who are working to make that a reality, the “Free Palestine” opinion came in second at 29% in polling regarding the reasons for the Hamas attack. The leading belief was to stop the “violation” of the Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem (35% of respondents). That may be because Hamas named the fight the ‘Al Aqsa Flood.’ Hamas and the Palestinian Authority have been falsely claiming for months that Jews are “storming al Aqsa” in “provocations” by simply walking around the compound during normal visiting hours.

Very few Palestinians place Iranian motivation and freeing Palestinian prisoners as the primary reason for the attack. Palestinian Arabs view this fight as an organic Palestinian movement to control Israel. While there is an appreciation for the support of Iran, Hizbollah in Lebanon, Russia and China, it is Palestinians who are leading the charge. The motivation is less about Palestinian people (in jail or otherwise) or for lands under Palestinian control (like ending the blockade of Gaza). This is a Palestinian war for Jerusalem and pre-1948 Palestine for two-thirds of respondents.

This can be seen in the support for various solutions to end the conflict. The vast majority of Palestinians want a Jew-free state “from the river to the sea.” Only 17% prefer a two state solution while 5% prefer a binational state for Arabs and Jews.

Palestinians do not think this is a narrow war between Israel and Hamas (18.6%) but between Israel and Palestinians generally (63.6%). Almost no one thinks this is a broader regional conflict with 5.2% believing this is Israel against the Muslim world and 2.1% thinking it is Israel against the Arab world. Their confidence in coexistence with Israeli Jews has declined by 89.5% since the attack.

Yet, while Palestinians think this is an Israeli-Palestinian war, they believe the western world hates Muslims, Islam and Arabs, even more than liking Israel or having sympathy for Israeli civilians.

They arrive at this conclusion from watching Arab channels such as Al Jazeera, Palestine TV, Maa’an TV and al Aqsa TV. Very few watch international news, and if they do, it is CNN and the BBC. Social media is huge, with Telegram and Facebook leading as the method of getting news.

Almost every single person polled – 98.0% – said that they felt tremendous pride at being a Palestinian right now. An estimated 72.6% believe that Palestinians will beat Israel in this war, with 75.3% believing the blockade of Gaza will end and 79.4% believing that Palestinians will be freed from Israeli jails.

In the end, Palestinians are still hopeful to have a national unity government with both Hamas and Fatah ruling Gaza. They appreciate the global community’s support for the October 7 attacks and are against countries and groups that call Hamas a terrorist organization which must be eliminated.

Palestinian Arabs believe that the armed struggle to destroy the Jewish State has begun in earnest and are embracing countries and groups that support its aims including Iran, Turkey, Russia and China, and American groups like the Democratic Socialists of America and Students for Justice in Palestine. The barbarity of the massacre is a side note for them as is the fate of the 240 hostages. The war to “free Palestine from the River to the Sea” may take years or decades, but the alliances are coalescing now.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib was censured on the House floor for her call to destroy the Jewish State with her call to “free Palestine from the River to the Sea,” after the barbaric terrorist attack by the popular Palestinian jihadi group Hamas in which they burned, hacked, maimed, raped and killed over 1,400 people in Israel in an unprovoked attack. The vote was 234 to 188, and included 22 Democrats with moral clarity about stopping evil echoing evil. One Democrat, Rep. Brad Schneider, (D-IL) who is Jewish said Tlaib’s comment “is nothing else but the call for the destruction of Israel and murder of Jews.”

The congressional vote did not address some of Tlaib’s past antisemitic comments like her remarks to the Democratic Socialist of America in August 2021 when she said of Jews “they do it from Gaza to Detroit, and it’s a way to control people, to oppress people…. we’ve been living under right now is designed by those who exploit the rest of us, for their own profit…. And I tell those same people, that if you open the curtain and look behind the curtain, it’s the same people who make money and—yes they do—off of racism, off of these broken policies. There is someone there making money and you saw it, it was so exposed during the pandemic…. They made record profit.

Disgusting, vile and pure antisemitism, now coupled with a call to destroy the Jewish State.

Tlaib took the floor before the vote and completely ignored her own comments which were the focus and reason for her censure, and painted the congressional rebuke as being about her calling for a ceasefire, a complete lie and misdirection.

But it got her fellow left-wing extremists up-in-arms like Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY16) who represents one of the most Jewish districts in the country. He screamed and yelled utter hateful garbage:

Can we stop misrepresenting Rep. Tlaib’s words. She does not want to kill Jews. She is not in support of Hamas. She is speaking as someone who is the only Palestinian-American in U.S. history to serve in this body. Without her voice, we would lack even more empathy for the people of Palestine. We would not have someone with direct personal experience speaking against the seize that is happening now in Gaza. This body needs empathy and compassion for all people, not just people that look like the majority of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle. And maybe because of your lack of diversity, you lack the cognitive and emotional ability to recognize diverse opinions when they speak truth to power. And you absolutely need to open up your minds to other people and other experiences, especially when they are Muslim and when they are women and when they are people of color.

In essence, Bowman thinks that antisemitism spewed from the mouths of Black or Muslim women should be given empathy, but Republicans lack the intelligence and “emotional ability to recognize diverse opinions.” As if calling Jews greedy people who make money off of racism in the United States and Israel deserves some “emotional ability.” As though calling for the destruction of the Jewish State requires “cognitive” ability.

The Reason Palestinian Supporters Are Pulling Down Kidnapped Posters

All over major cities in the world, people are putting up posters of the roughly 240 men, women and children who were taken captive from Israel by the Palestinian political-terrorist group Hamas. While people may walk past a posting of a lost dog, Palestinian supporters become enraged at seeing the signs of captive Israelis.

The reason is NOT because the Arab-Israeli conflict is complex. A complicated situation could still have people on each side see the basic humanity of the other, and appreciate that the kidnapping of civilians is an atrocious war crime.

Jihadi anti-Israel activists don’t think that the hostages are innocent because they view all of Israel as an illegal European colonial enterprise. Other anti-Israel activists understand that the basic strategy of Hamas relies on global opinion. Sympathy for Jews undercuts Palestinian defenses.

Israel invests significant intellectual and monetary capital in preventative defenses. It has bomb shelters in public space and homes. It uses its ‘Iron Dome’ missile defense system and built security barriers around Gaza and the West Bank to stop or slow the advance of Palestinian Arab terrorists. It blockaded the terrorist safe haven of Gaza to slow the shipment of weaponry.

Hamas, which rules Gaza, has not invested in any preventative defense system. It uses concrete for tunnels for its soldiers rather than bunkers for civilians. It uses its school system to educate Arabs that Jews are the enemy rather than develop scientific skills.

Hamas’s defenses completely rely on REACTIVE measures, such as world condemnation about Israeli attacks, and relying on Israel’s morality to not strike killers hiding amongst civilians and under hospitals.

Anti-Israel activists do not want people to remember the October 7 barbarity and only to focus on the current situation in Gaza. In doing so, they hope to flip the narrative of cause-and-effect, and make Israel the aggressor.

The presence of kidnapped posters for pro-Israel activists and decent people is a call to bring innocent civilians home. For anti-Israel activists, it prevents the world from defending Gazans and reminds everyone of the heinous barbarity of the Palestinians’ elected representative body.

Israel May Have Stopped A Bigger Massacre From The West Bank

On October 7, 2023, over 1,000 Palestinian Arab terrorists invaded Israel and committed atrocities killing 1,400 people and taking as many as 240 people hostage. The attacks emanated from Gaza and killed people for many miles around the entire region as laid out in a StandWithUs video.

Israel was caught completely by surprise, as the Hamas terrorists effectively stormed the barrier separating Gaza from Israel. The government of Israel has been roundly condemned for failing to protect its citizens, in not gathering or acting upon intelligence about such a massive operation which had many months of planning.

But it is possible that the Israeli government stopped an even larger massacre from occurring from Palestinian terrorists in the West Bank.

Since the fall of 2022, West Bank Arabs have been pushing for terrorist attacks inside of Israel at levels that approached Gazans’ thirst for Jewish blood, as shown in Palestinian polls over this time.

The West Bank demand for terrorism launched new terrorist groups loosely affiliated with Hamas. Lions’ Den and Jenin Battalion became household names with wide Palestinian support. They committed several attacks inside major Israeli cities including Tel Aviv and Bnei Brak.

In response, Israel launched raids into Jenin and surrounding areas to arrest and eliminate terrorists planning attacks. These actions may have retarded the genocidal aims of the terrorist groups on October 7.

The security barrier between Israel and the West Bank is a mix of wire fence and concrete wall. It runs for many miles and separates densely populated Israeli towns like Kfar Saba, Ra’anana, Rosh Ha’ayin, Modi’in and Jerusalem, which are mere steps from the 1949 Armistice Lines. Had West Bank Arabs been able to launch an attack similar to Gazans into those Israeli towns, the carnage would have killed over 10,000 civilians.

Separation barrier south of Jerusalem

When Israel reviews its failures in detecting the Gaza attack, it should similarly explore whether it prevented an even worse catastrophe from West Bank Arab terrorists. The findings may underscore a need for continued preemptive action to thwart terrorism and save thousands of lives.
