Gazans Have Always Wanted To Kill Jews Inside Of Israel

Posted on by

As Israel attempts to free hostages in Gaza taken captive by the political-terrorist group Hamas, people are debating how innocent Gazans are relative to the group that administers the territory. Those defending Palestinian Arabs argue that Hamas seized the territory in 2007 from the Fatah-run Palestinian Authority so cannot be held responsible. They dismiss that Palestinians voted Hamas to 58% of parliament since that election happened in 2006 and doesn’t represent current attitudes.

Arguable the best way to truly consider Gazans attitudes towards Israel, both before and after Hamas took over Gaza, is to look at poll data.

The Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PCPSR) has been conducting polls of West Bank and Gazan Arabs since the turn of the century. There are many questions that change based on the reality of the moment and some which have remained consistent.

Supporting terrorism has been a constant through the polls. For over twenty years, it has been a question that is asked in that format: “Concerning armed attacks against Israeli civilians inside Israel, I….” with the choice of either Strongly support/ Support/ Oppose / Strongly oppose / NA. Here are the results, with links to the original polls.

DateStrongly Support / SupportStrongly Oppose / Oppose
July 200158%39%
May 200259.1%40%
April 200364.1%35%
March 200461.4%37.5%
March 200543.6%55%

June 200773.7%26.1%
June 200863.2%36.1%
March 200966.9%31.6%
March 201057.6%40.9%
March 201160.4%37.2%
March 201262.1%37.1%
March 201353.4%44.4%
March 201453.3%46.1%

March 202075.1%23.1%
March 202169.6%27.5%
March 202264%36%
March 202367%33%

As seen in the table above, two-thirds of Gazans support terrorism, specifically, killing Jewish civilians inside of Israel like the gruesome massacre of October 7, 2023. That suggests 1.5 million Gazans (67% of 2.25 million Gazans) were supporters of the Hamas barbarism.

This was not a momentary blip in time. Over the past 23 years, there was a single moment – when Israel left Gaza – that only 43.6% of Gazans supported murdering Israeli Jews. At any other time, a majority between 53% and 76% approved terrorism.

The spike in support for terrorism in June 2007 coincided with confidence that Hamas’s approach of attacks yields better results than Fatah’s approach of negotiations, both “in stopping Israeli settlement activities” which portrayed “Hamas as successful in breaking the [Israeli] siege and as a victim of Israeli attacks,” according to PCPSR.

The support is not theoretical.

In March 2011, when two Palestinian Arabs went into the town of Itamar and slaughtered two parents and three children in their beds, 51% of Gazans supported the grisly killing when asked specifically about the attack (question 67).

The people of Gaza are not “innocent” and victims of Hamas, and the media constant refrain of saying as much is a deliberate lie meant to narrow the scope of the conflict.

Every Picture Tells A Story: No Brutal Slaughter Of Israeli Civilians

Posted on by

October 7, 2023 will be marked in Israeli and Jewish history as one of the most horrible days in modern times. Not since the Holocaust had such Jews experienced such savagery.

It would be hard to understand that from looking at pictures in The New York Times coverage of the Hamas massacre.

The attack was featured on the front page as well as in two other pages with many color pictures.

Front page of NY Times on October 8, 2023

Four pictures were featured under the headline “Palestinian Militants Stage Attack On Israel.” The four pictures included two of Palestinians attacking Israel, one with rockets and another with a bulldozer ripping down a fence. The other had an Israeli soldier walking past “bodies of Israelis killed by militants in the city of Sderot,” which gave no clarity as to whether the Israelis were soldiers, like the one standing in the picture, or civilians. The last picture had people in Gaza carrying “the body of a slain militant.”

From the pictures on the cover, one would imagine a battle between armed opponents, Palestinian militants and the Israeli army.

Page 12 would build on this theme.

Page 12 of The New York Times on October 8, 2023

Three small pictures on the top of the page show missile strikes and debris. One shows an Israeli town being hit and two pictures show Gaza being struck. The large picture in the center of the page has an Israeli woman, shown from the back, running for cover from a “rocket siren”, and the bottom picture has young Palestinian Arabs looking up at the sky from the “sound of airstrikes.”

The picture coverage started to move to civilians, with the war being a battle from the skies.

Page 13 of NY Times on October 8, 2023

The final page of coverage continued with the theme of rocket fire, with a large picture on top showing a strike in Gaza, then a small picture of a house in Israel with damage. Below the fold was an Israeli family running from “a site that was hit by a rocket fired from the Gaza Strip.”

This pictorial narrative is utterly and completely disgraceful.

Well over 1,000 Palestinian terrorists stormed into Israel and slaughtered over 1,000 people. They set fire to homes and burned people alive. They shot up people in the streets and in their beds. The raped women and dragged them through the streets. The Arabs chopped the heads off babies and soldiers.

It was a vicious slaughter committed by people in close proximity, mostly of armed Hamas terrorists against civilians.

All unprovoked, in an attack on the Jewish Sabbath and holiday of Simchat Torah.

The New York Times attempt at showing a similar number of pictures of damage from rockets in both Israel and Gaza right after the massacre distorts the entire narrative of the grotesque slaughter of Jewish families and young people, to warrant being called antisemitic and libelous.

The Dangerous ‘Settlers Storming Al Aqsa’ Fiction

Posted on by

Throughout 2023, Arab media has promoted fake news that Jews are taking over the third holiest site in Islam, the al Aqsa Mosque. They are doing it to incite 1.8 billion Muslims around the world to call for a jihad against the Jews and to destroy Israel.

And it’s a total fiction that is not repudiated by any media and government, even knowing that it is not just false but designed to set the Middle East on fire.

The incitement happens in regular media as well as social media.

Wafa, the official media of the Palestinian Authority wrote on September 10 that “Dozens of settlers break into Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque.” It claimed that the Jews “conducted provocative tours through the courtyards of the mosque, received explanations about the alleged ‘Jewish Temple,’ and performed Talmudic rituals near the Dome of the Rock.” As seen in pictures, all the Jews did was walk around the site during normal visiting hours.

WAFA article with fake news to deliberately incite the Muslim world against Jews

It is part of a string of highly charged lies repeated around the Arab and Muslim world.

The list goes on, falsely stating that Jews walking around the Temple Mount were in any way entering, let alone harming, the Al Aqsa Mosque.

Social media did much the same over the summer, showing Jews – many of them elderly – walking around the courtyard. However, the text to its readership was “Israeli settlers raided Al-Aqsa” and “Colonial Israeli settlers break into Jerusalem’s Al Aqsa courtyards.”

There are many highly visible examples of Muslim and Arab media and governments deliberately lying to the masses to stoke a religious holy war against the Jews and Jewish State. Yet the United Nations, U.S. government, mainstream and social media companies have never said a word to stop the hateful propaganda which has cost thousands of lives.

UN “Peace Coordinator” Before And During Hamas Massacre

Posted on by

The United Nations appointed Tor Wennesland to be Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process in December 2020. This is the gold standard for a job title that has nothing to do with reality. A more accurate title has long been UN Coordinator of Palestinian Appeals.

Wennesland often minimized Israelis deaths and Palestinian terror, curiously thinking that such action helped the peace process. He expressed sadness at the death of Palestinian Arab terrorists and has never rebuked Palestinian leadership for recruiting and drafting children to be terrorists, a flagrant crime against humanity.

Wennesland posted two statements right before and immediately after the gruesome October 7 slaughter of over 1,000 Israelis. A comparison is illustrative.

After Israelis in the West Bank attacked the city of Huwwara where Palestinian Arabs have killed many Israelis, he condemned the “attack by Israeli settlers against Palestinians and their property,” adding that he was “outraged by the continued incitement, provocations and lack of accountability for these violent crimes.” With one Palestinian dead, Wennesland demanded that “Israel must ensure that the [Palestinian Arab] civilian population is protected, and the [Israeli] perpetrators are held to account.”

Some hours later, over 1,000 Palestinian Arabs invaded Israel and butchered over 1,000 Israelis in a grisly unprovoked attack. Wennesland’s short statement said so much and so little.

“I vehemently condemn this morning’s multi-front assault against Israeli towns and cities near the Gaza Strip, and barrage of rockets reaching across central Israel by Hamas militants.

“These events have resulted in horrific scenes of violence and many Israeli fatalities and injuries, with many believed to be kidnapped inside the Strip. These are heinous attacks targeting civilians and must stop immediately. 

“I am deeply concerned for the well-being of all civilians. I am in close contact with all concerned to urge maximum restraint and call on all sides to protect civilians.

This is a dangerous precipice and I appeal to all to pull back from the brink.“

Matter1 Palestinians killed in response to attack1,000+ Israelis killed in unprovoked massacre
Condemnation“condemn”“vehemently condemn”
Attack“Israeli settlers against Palestinians and their property”“horrific scenes of violence… heinous attacks targeting civilians and must stop immediately”
Outrage“continued incitement, provocations, and lack of accountability for these violent crimes“N/A
Concern“[Palestinian] civilians”“all civilians”
Action urged“hold perpetrators accountable““maximum restraint“

Comparing the two incidents is like comparing a parking ticket to a multi-vehicle crash, facts which were clearly known to Wennesland. Yet he could not call out the “continued incitement, provocations and lack of accountability” for Palestinian Arabs who butchered people. He voiced his concern about Palestinians when one Arab was killed but was suddenly concerned for “all civilians” when hundreds upon hundreds of Israelis were tortured.

Most tellingly, the United Nations Special Coordinator for Middle East Peace only called for Israelis to be held accountable, but urged Israel to show “maximum restraint” and not pursue an entire Palestinian terrorist infrastructure that launched a war.

The United Nations has never been concerned about Middle East Peace, only the formation of a Palestinian State – even at the very moment when Palestinian Arabs clearly demonstrated to the world that they most definitely do not deserve one.

ACTION ITEM

Write US Ambassador to United Nations “Demand all Israeli hostages be returned and members of Hamas hand themselves over to Israel for prosecution for their heinous attack on over 1,000 civilians.”

The Problem With Antisemitism On College Campuses Stems From Where Jews And Arabs Focused Their Donations

Posted on by

A number of high-level individuals have recently taken aim at their alma maters for the toxic environment that exists for Jewish and Zionist students on campus.

They are very late to the party.

Jewish Philanthropists Donating To Humanities

For many years, billionaires like Ron Perelman, Bill Ackman and Marc Rowan donated tens of millions of dollars for health care facilities, art centers, humanities and economic studies at Harvard, University of Pennsylvania, Brown University and others. Yet they seldom put any money into Israel or Jewish Studies programs at these institutions, assuming all was fine and the schools they attended decades earlier remained much the same.

Now, as noxious antisemitism has reached a boiling point as campuses host “Resistance” rallies in support of Palestinians slaughtering Jewish civilians, these philanthropists have suddenly recalled the Jewish and Zionist part of their humanity programs.

Marc Rowan called on alumni to stop donating to the University of Pennsylvania after the school hosted an anti-Zionist and anti-Semitic “literary festival.” He said that the heads of the university should step down for failing to stop the tidal wave of hatred at his beloved school.

Bill Ackman asked Harvard to publish the names of people who said they supported Hamas’s actions of “resistance,” so that financial firms would not hire them upon graduation.

These billionaires, who made fortunes in the business world by investing intelligently and properly predicting the future, utterly failed to understand universities today.

Billions from Muslim Countries For Muslim Studies

The Saudi Arabian government, corporations and particular individuals gave $600 million to several universities between 2011 and 2017 according to The Project On Government Oversight. MIT alone took in $78 million. George Washington University, Columbia University, Tufts University, and the University of Southern California each took $1 million or more.

According to POGO, “the largest foreign funder by far is Qatar, the only country to give over $1 billion in the seven years covered by the Higher Education Act data.” Qatar is a principal funder of the political-terrorist group Hamas which committed the heinous massacre of over 1,000 people in Israel this week, which finally made the Jewish billionaires pay attention to the campus problem.

POGO added that “Harvard University received by far the most foreign money in the period, reporting just over $1 billion from over 60 countries. In addition to Harvard, MIT, Johns Hopkins University, Georgetown University, and Northwestern University are among the schools that reported receiving the most foreign gifts, each totaling over $300 million.”

The foreign donations take several forms, each of which embeds foreign culture into the universities’ campuses, and ultimately into the country.

Some international money was used to establish university branches in foreign countries. These centers enable U.S. students to study abroad and become more familiar with autocratic regimes in a friendly college environment.

Arab states funded Islamic Studies and Middle Eastern studies departments on U.S. campuses like the president of the United Arab Emirates, Sheik Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan, who donated $2.5 million to the Harvard Divinity School to endow the Sheik Zayed Al Nahyan Professorship in Islamic Religious Studies. Within a short period of time, the Zayed Center became a noxious fountain of anti-Semitic screed complete with Holocaust denials and blood libels.

Significantly, millions of dollars from Arab countries have funded student scholarships for thousands of Muslim students to come to the U.S. to study. During the Obama Administration, tens of thousands of students from Arab countries were present at universities, a number which began to decline significantly under the Trump Administration.

The presence of thousands of foreign students and Muslim teachers taking over Middle Eastern Studies Departments created a toxic brew. Students were able to petition universities to open chapters of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) with a faculty adviser, which were conveniently now present and paid for. The AMCHA Initiative showed that schools with five or more academic advisers favoring boycotting Israel “were 7.24 times more likely” to issue anti-Israel statements than schools with fewer than five advisors. Further, AMCHA Reports “analyzing antisemitic incidents in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 indicate a significant increase in actions which directly harm or threaten Jewish students, including physical and verbal assaults, destruction of property, harassment discrimination and suppression of speech, at schools with an SJP or similar anti-Zionist chapter.”

In short, Gulf states spent billions of dollars over decades at American universities building an anti-Zionist and antisemitic infrastructure, while Jewish philanthropists had ribbon cutting ceremonies on general intellectual matters. The Jewish billionaires are waking up too late to their poor investments, when the anti-Zionist and antisemitic culture on campuses is deeply ingrained and universities are highly addicted to the stable flow of Islamic money.

While Rowan and Ackman may make a lot of noise about getting alumni to stop donating to these schools, they should put at least as much effort to get universities to stop taking money from autocratic, anti-democratic regimes which are poisoning the minds of America’s future and making schools inhospitable for Jews.

How Many Terrorists To Target? Between 1,500 and 1.5 Million

Posted on by

The current estimated population of Gaza is about 2.25 million people, all Arab. Of that number, 1.8 million (80%) are wards of UNRWA, with a fraction being over 75 years old whom can claim to be refugees or internally displaced people, if one considers that Palestine included Gaza in 1948.

Approximately 25,000 belong to Hamas and thousands of others belong to other terrorist groups such as Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

The newest anti-Zionist terrorist groups to emerge over the past two years have been in Area A of the West Bank, controlled by the Palestinian Authority. They include Lion’s Den, Jenin Brigades and Tulkarm Brigades. They have been getting most of the attention of the Israeli Defense Forces as intelligence showed that they were planning and committing attacks. It’s possible that they were diversions to draw the IDF attention away from the terrorist groups in Gaza as they prepared for a major invasion.

As the IDF prepares to pursue ‘maximum justice‘ for Hamas for the heinous October 7 slaughter of civilians going about their everyday lives, the Israeli government needs to assess how far to pursue such ends to make sure that no such attack emerges from Gaza again.

To take out every member of Hamas would mean killing 25,000 terrorists, a huge figure. But they are only part of the area’s terrorist infrastructure. There may be as many as 10,000 other terrorists belonging to the other groups.

While Hamas gets funding and support from Iran, Turkey, Qatar and Sudan, it also has broad local support. An estimated 1.5 million people (67% of the population) in Gaza support the group and its goal of killing Jews inside of Israel according to recent Palestinian polls.

While it is abhorrent to realize that so many Palestinian Arabs actively support terrorism, can the Israeli government really consider wiping out 1.5 million people who want to kill Jews next door? If it would entertain such idea, the approach of sending in ground troops into Gaza where many soldiers will be killed would be insane. It would be easier to pound the region into submission from the air.

Israel makes efforts to minimize the loss of life of Arab civilians during such conflicts based on inside intelligence about where terrorists are located. However, based on the colossal failure of Israeli intelligence to foresee the October 7 massacre, it is doubtful that Israel’s operatives can be relied upon to pinpoint the terrorists.

Which leaves the question of what constitutes “crushing” Hamas so that the group essentially ceases to operate? All 25,000 terrorists in the group? 35,000 including the other terrorist groups? 1.5 million people?

It is likely that the Israeli government is trying to figure this out while it begins to hit the known Hamas locations in the war’s early days. Unfortunately, many Arab civilians have been killed – some who are part of the 1.5 million terrorist supporters and some of the 750,000 civil Arabs who are willing to live in peace with their Jewish neighbors.

One approach to minimize a horrible death toll would be for Hamas leadership and the 1,500 October 7 butchers to hand themselves over to Israel to spare fellow Arabs. I’m sure if they would agree, future bloodshed could be averted.

Assuming that Hamas remains consistent that they are in a war of liberation and will continue to fight and try to kill as many Israeli as possible, it is likely that the entire Hamas leadership and at least half of the group will need to be eliminated to end the jihadi dream of destroying Israel, roughly 12,500 people. When considering the number of civilians that will likely be killed alongside the terrorists, the total Arab dead may be 20,000 before the Palestinians relent and surrender to calm.

Before the “fog of war” sets in during battle, commanders set out their mission with some particular metrics. Hamas’s goal was to slaughter as many Jews as possible as deep into Israel as they could reach. They succeeded beyond their dreams.

Now is the time for Israel to map out its goals, before the cacophony of resolutions derail it from its aims.

The Scale And Barbarity Of The Hamas Massacre

Posted on by

It is difficult for people to comprehend the trauma felt in Israel. It goes beyond numbers as reviewed here.

The 9/11 Comparison

The Murdered. On September 11, 2001, 2,977 American civilians were killed by radical jihadists affiliated with the al Qaeda terrorist group. By comparison, on October 7, 2023, an estimated 900 people were killed in Israel. Relative to each population, roughly 1 out of 100,000 Americans were killed on 9/11 while 9.6 out of 100,000 Israelis were killed.

After 9/11, there were basically no further casualties on American soil. In Israel, several hundred additional people have been killed, with each day almost the equivalent of a 9/11. The total scale of the massacre of Israelis easily surpasses 10 times 9/11.

The Killers. There were 19 hijackers of four airplanes on 9/11, a relatively small number. The massacre in Israel involved an estimated 1,500 Palestinian Arab terrorists, about 80 times as many bent on killing civilians.

The Methodology. The 9/11 operation was clinically cold: the hijackers crashed planes into buildings. In the 10/7 atrocities, 1,500 Hamas terrorists went town-to-town hacking and shooting families to death. They raped women and dragged them through the street by their hair. They burned people alive. The butchers decapitated dozens of babies. For hours, they scoured the horizon for Jews to slaughter by hand.

Broad Local Support. The al Qaeda terrorists were a band of radical jihadists in 2001. They weren’t elected to any office. Not so for Hamas, which was elected to 58% of Palestinian parliament in 2006 with the most antisemitic charter ever written. They continue to hold that majority of the government, and according to polls, Hamas would win presidential elections if held now.

Location. The horde of al Qaeda terrorists were on the other side of the globe for the U.S.A. Hamas is literally next door to Israel – with the majority in Gaza but many in the West Bank. These Palestinian terrorists could carry out attacks against Israel from their backyards whenever they want.

The Aftermath. All 19 hijackers on 9/11 were killed in the suicide operation. They took no prisoners. However, well over 1,000 of the Arab terrorists survived and returned to their safe haven in Gaza, taking roughly 150 hostages with them. The Palestinian jihadists continue to fight on, now surrounded by 25,000 fellow jihadi terrorists, ensconced among civilians.

International Support. Al Qaeda became public enemy number one around the world after 9/11. America enlisted many countries in a fight against global terror which focused on America’s enemy. Yet now, in the immediate aftermath of the sickening slaughter in Israel, people and countries call the terrorism “resistance” and the massacre a cause for “celebration.” Israel will have a very difficult time gathering and maintaining global support to finally terminate this noxious evil.

Existential Threat. At the end of the day, while the 9/11 attacks were evil, the United States did not suddenly become really vulnerable; it was not going to disappear. But Israel is surrounded by many parties who refuse to accept its existence since its founding. The Islamic Republic of Iran, now at the cusp of nuclear weapons capability, has threatened to wipe it off the map and is actively sponsoring terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah on Israel’s borders. Israel is highly vulnerable.

As people watch the news or consider the “pro-Palestinian resistance” protests taking place in cities and campuses, it is critical that they understand the current fear of Jews and Israelis: the collective post traumatic stress disorder which echoes the wails of parents and grandparents from the Holocaust and pogroms, has emerged again as the Satan of Gaza.

Even the most persecuted people in the world can be shocked by the barbarity of antisemites, and by the people who abandon them in their time of need.

Palestinian Propaganda Before The Gruesome Massacre

Posted on by

During August and September 2023, Palestinian Arab propaganda was in full display on social media feeds. The messaging – targeted to Zionists – was clear that they believe all of Israel is “occupied Palestine” and that the physical presence of Jews in Jerusalem is a grave assault to their senses.

Israel is Occupied Palestine

Israeli cities like Acre, Jaffa, Nazareth, Jerusalem and Haifa were promoted as part-and-parcel of Palestine in ads popping up in social media feeds like Facebook.

The ads, some of which were made in 2022, were promoted from a variety of sources including Quds News Network, The Inside – Palestine, DOP (Days of Palestine), Olive Palestine, Palestine and others.

Jews in Jerusalem Going About Daily Life Is An Aggravated Assault To Arabs

The advertisements in Facebook also featured Jews in Jerusalem enjoying their holiest city. However, the narrative accompanying the text made the Jews seemingly appear as violent, even when it was clear that they were doing nothing.

All Jews are described as “settlers” whether they lived east of the 1949 Armistice Lines (E49) or not. It says that they “stormed al Aqsa Mosque” even when the pictures show that they were just walking around and not in the mosque. It even condemned some young boys dancing in the Old City of Jerusalem away from the Temple Mount as “a provocative march.”

Israel Will Be Destroyed. Soon

The messaging of the ads could not be clearer. The State of Israel is not only occupying historic Palestine; it is about to come to and end.

The majority of Palestinians believe this to be true. The June 2023 poll conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research noted that “two-thirds [of Palestinian Arabs] say Israel will not celebrate the centenary of its establishment [within 25 years], and the majority believes that the Palestinian people will be able in the future to recover Palestine and return its refugees to their homes.”

Palestinian Arabs believe that the War of Liberation has begun, and were telling Zionists that this day is approaching for the past few months.

The Jewish State and Jews around the world have woken up to the fact that they are in a war, hated for who they are, where they are and what they do. It took a monstrous massacre for the reality to awaken people to the situation, and having reached this point, it’s important to know more about the haters and their intents.

The article “The Center of Intersectionality looks a lot like Adolf Hitler” listed many vile antisemites including: the Democratic Socialists of America, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, Rep. Ilhan Omar, New York City Council member Shahana Hanif, Linda Sarsour and Zahra Billoo of the Council of American-Islamic Relations. There are many others like the Mapping Project in Massachusetts which is part of the Boycott, Sanctions and Divestment (BDS) movement, which wants to make it easier to target Jewish organizations throughout the state, and so listed them and their addresses. Organizations included those that promote “normalization” and peace, as well as synagogues.

After the brutal massacre of hundreds of Israelis on October 7, 2023, one would imagine that even everyday antisemites would distance themselves from the carnage and attempt to not appear as Nazis bent on Jewish blood.

Alas, the bilestorm is upon us, and those celebrating the murder of Jews are out in the open. Jews should take note and be prepared in both the near- and intermediate-term.

Immediately after the atrocities became public, The United States Council of Muslim Organizations (USCMO) threw its full weight behind Palestinian Arabs. It published a statement about the “recent unprovoked and continuous attacks by Israel on Palestinian towns, cities, and refugee camps have resulted in tragic loss of Palestinian lives. We condemn Israel’s targeted and indiscriminate killing of civilians, including innocent children, women, and the elderly, and we denounce the inhumane siege imposed on the nearly 2 million inhabitants of Gaza, a clear violation of international law and an implied declaration of open war on the Palestinians which oblige them to be in constant self-defense.” Members of USCMO are:

Also on the heels of the slaughter of Jews, ANSWER Coalition promoted pro-Palestinian actions around the country “to stand with the Palestinian people’s struggle!” Joining as sponsors were:

  • Al-Awda – The Palestinian Right to Return Coalition
  • Within Our Lifetime

  • Students for Justice in Palestine – Butler University
  • Jewish Voice for Peace – Indiana
  • Party for Socialism and Liberation – Indianapolis
  • SJP @ UC Davis
  • AMP Chicago
  • … and many more

The Democratic Socialists of America and Students for Justice In Palestine were in full force around the country backing the wanton killing of Jews. AMCHA Initiative has long tracked how the presence of SJP on college campuses results in antisemitic incidents jumping by five times.

The head of NYU Law Student Bar Association sent out a broad email about “my unwavering and absolute solidarity with Palestinian in their resistance against oppression toward liberation and self-determination.” Ryna went on to say Israel’s blockade of the terrorist enclave “made resistance necessary. I will not condemn resistance.” That such a person can be a lawyer and approve of the wanton slaughter of non-combatants en masse is terrifying. This person, Ryna Workman, should be rejected from all employment.

Ryna has company. Harvard University posted a letter signed by 30 groups supporting Hamas’s butchery. After billionaire investor Bill Ackman, an alum of the school, asked that the school release the names of the individuals behind the letter, someone posted their names.

Columbia University’s Student for Justice in Palestine produced a vile antisemite named Naye Idriss who gave a speech in Times Square in New York City the day after the massacre of Jews and called for more massacres to a reception of cheers.

Idriss was likely fueled in her hatred of the Jewish State from Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi who said that Israel’s treatment of Palestinian Arabs “will necessarily, inevitably bring a violent reaction (51:40). Another professor, Joseph Massad mocked how Jews fled on foot from their “colonies” (since he views all of Israel as an illegal colony) in the massacre. He didn’t mention a single slaughtered Jew but went on to lament Arab dead, which he hoped would be the “start of the Palestinian War of Liberation.”

Of course, this generation’s Nazis is the popular Palestinian political-terrorist group Hamas which carried out the slaughter. Its 1988 foundational charter is replete with antisemitism and the call to kill Jews and destroy the Jewish State, seemingly to the joy of Palestinian Arabs who voted the party into 58% of parliament in 2006. Its leadership calls on Muslims around the world to engage in a global intifada to support their annihilation of Israel.

Hamas’s backers include:

  • The Islamic Republic of Iran gives it and other terrorist groups in Gaza $100 million annually
  • Turkey, another Islamic, non-Arab country provides Hamas political support
  • Qatar hosts Hamas’s leadership and funnels money to it
  • Eugene Puryear, part of the Party for Socialism and Liberation organized rallies for Hamas and said “Palestinians are right to stand up against occupation.”

ADL has tracked many of the recent pro-Hamas protests which backed the massacre and called for the destruction of Israel. Chants included “Zionism has got to go!” and “Zionism is genocide!”, “You need to stop being apologetic about Palestinian liberation“, “Resistance is not terrorism.” Regarding the massacre of Jews, speakers said “make no mistake, we are in celebration.”

While Jews grieve and pray, they seemingly have not internalized that the pro-Palestinian community does not view this as a battle like 2008, 2012, 2014 or 2021. They don’t think it’s like the Second Intifada in which they rejected two states for two people.

Your enemies believe the war to end the Jewish State has begun. It’s 1948 Redux.

And they have called for the world to join them in their efforts to end Israel and prosecute its supporters in a “global intifada.”

Israel’s fight in Gaza is not about the terrorist group Hamas; it is about terminating Hamas’s jihadi dream of destroying the Jewish State.

Almost every Palestinian Arab is already an antisemite and this war will not make them hate Jews any less. However, it must teach them that Israel is here to stay.

Hamas Should Face ‘Maximum Justice’

The reports coming out of Israel are horrifying. The actions of Hamas in places like Kfar Aza are horrific as entire families were gunned down in their homes and babies decapitated.

The United Nations Secretary General issued a statement that “The attacks have so far claimed numerous Israeli civilian lives and injured many hundreds.  The Secretary-General is appalled by reports that civilians have been attacked and abducted from their own homes.

“The Secretary-General is deeply concerned for the civilian population and urges maximum restraint.  Civilians must be respected and protected in accordance with international humanitarian law at all times.”

The phrase “maximum restraint” is only used when terrorists kill Israelis and the UNSG gets worried that Israel will pursue the Palestinian Arab assailants. When terrorists kill people in other places including Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan or Nigeria, the UN Security Council declares “the need to hold perpetrators, organizers, financiers and sponsors of these reprehensible acts of terrorism accountable and bring them to justice.”

In light of the gross deformity of Palestinian culture and barbaric attacks by the popular political-terrorist party Hamas, it is time for Israel to pursue ‘maximum justice,’ to finish ALL “perpetrators, organizers, financiers and sponsors of these reprehensible acts of terrorism”, including the Islamic Republic of Iran if they were indeed behind the attacks.

Yahya al-Sinwar, current leader of Hamas in Gaza
Ismail Haniyeh, leader of Hamas based in Qatar

There are estimated to be 30,000 people affiliated with Hamas, not including those who aid and abet the group. Israel will require significant time to bring these murderers to maximum justice and rout them from the region. We should support Israel in destroying the terrorist entity and hopefully bringing calm to the region.
