Another terror attack today at one of the busiest intersections in the Judean Hills, minutes from my home and right near my army posts in reserve duty.
A car-ramming, followed by terrorists jumping out with knives.
One Jew murdered. Three more injured.
It was meant to be a much, much bigger attack, as several bombs were found in the car as well.
Why does this keep happening?
Simple. Because we continue to allow evil to live among us.
Because too many Jewish/Israeli leaders still refuse to call our enemy what it is Amalek.
Just as Biblical Amalek preyed on the defenseless Jews, the elderly, the women, the weak, those lagging behind, our modern enemy has been doing the exact same thing to the Jewish people for generations.
And it didn’t begin in 1948, or with “occupation,” or with “settlements.” It began in the 19th and early 20th centuries, long before the State of Israel existed, long before Jews returned to resettle our Biblical homeland.
Decades before the Jewish state of Israel was established. No IDF. No “settlements”. Yet there were massacres and pogroms in Jaffa, Jerusalem, Haifa, Tzfat, Hebron, and elsewhere.
The same evil then is the same evil now, Amalek in our time. Today it is jihadi Islam with its storm troopers who call themselves “palestinians”.
And instead of calling out this evil so the world can finally internalize what we are up against, our leaders play along with global geopolitical games at the United Nations that let the perpetrators of October 7th feel like they’re being rewarded, handed a so-called “path to a Palestinian state.”
It’s insanity. It’s moral blindness. And it endangers us all.
There is no difference between the Arab Muslims in Gaza and those in Judea or Samaria.
Every poll shows the same horrifying truth:
A vast majority of them support the Oct. 7th atrocities.
This is not a fringe group.
This is a society raised on jihad, hatred, and a 1,400-year ideology of conquest and submission of all non-Muslims.
These attackers are not “lone wolves.”
They are the storm troopers of a culture that glorifies murder.
Why else does this terror continue, even after we destroy Gaza? Because our enemies know they are rewarded, not punished.
The world has made it clear: instead of holding them accountable for massacres, pogroms, and decades of terror, it wants to rebuild Gaza for them and reward them with a state. Who cares if they never fulfill a single condition to actually get it? The goal of the international community remains the same, “solve the conflict” by giving them a state! So from their perspective, they have nothing to lose by spilling Jewish blood.
They see the world shifting in their favor.
They see more and more jihaid Muslim Mamdani–style candidates winning elections in the United States, with the support of the socialist left.
They also see parts of the Christian conservative right turning against Jews and Israel.
They’re convinced that time is on their side.
And they don’t care about losing their lives, because they believe they gain honor, paradise, and victory through death.
This is why their terror won’t stop.
Not because of “despair,” not because of “occupation,” but because a 1,400+ plus genocidal ideology sees that the world is willing to reward it, and because the killers genuinely believe they are marching toward an inevitable triumph. And they have the patience to wait.
We need leaders with the courage to say openly:
Our enemy, jihaid Islam with its storm troopers called “palestinians”, is a modern Amalek.
And our mission as a nation, our moral duty, is to remove evil from God’s holy land, and protect the lives of every Israeli citizen.
The Arab Muslim Middle East is a huge region. They can’t live near us, they must live in Middle Eastern countries that agree with their genocidal agenda. Not in Gaza, Judea or Samaria.
No more illusions.
No more appeasement.
Only strength, clarity, and Jewish sovereignty.
Baruch Dayan Ha’emet. If only we could be blessed with such clear moral leadership ASAP so we no longer have to experience such evil anymore.
Am Yisrael Chai.
Avi Abelow on FB:
I just came across an article about a “near miss” that a young female tourist had re muslims.
The article refers to two Scandinavian girls who were raped, tortured and murdered by Moroccan muslims:
“The Muslim men filmed the beheading of one woman, posted it online, and sent the video directly to her mother.”
THAT’s what we’re dealing with. No such thing as “compromise”.
Well, it is easy to have the clarity. But the problem is that we may not have enough strength to achieve it.
Without American support we can be crashed.
You could argue that in the year 70 of common era, the religious Zealots had moral clarity. But they did not have enough strength to defeat the imperial Rome. The end result was 1900 years of exile, with pogroms and genocides.
The only thing is that we should be speaking honestly and openly about our perspective.
This is our land.
Arabs are occupiers, colonists.
If we are forced to compromise, openly state that we are only agreeing o this under duress and therefore without legal validity.
Vivarto: “If we are forced to compromise, openly state that we are only agreeing o this under duress and therefore without legal validity.”
There is no such option called “compromise”. And do you really think that anyone is concerned that we did this (compromise) under duress and therefore without legal validity. As I said before, the laws as written are virtually useless. After WWII the only use for the law was to execute some of those responsible. All very well, but in the meantime we lost 6 Million, “illegally”.
As usual, the MSM will say it’s all the fault of the Jews – the problems began when Israel defended herself! I agree with this article, there is no appeasing Amalek, and there is no room for equivocation. Israel must defend herself now and with full force, because that is their right and because it’s the only language that Amalek understands.
And it’s the only language that the MSM will have to contend with… “Understanding” has no place there.
“…they don’t care about losing their lives, because they believe they gain honor, paradise, and victory through death….”
No argument in this case. Why do we persist in keeping them alive when they want death?
We Jews are usually very accommodating…
As anyone here read David Mamet’s “The Wicked Son: Anti-Semitism, self-hatred and the Jews” lately? It came out in 2006, i had it on my shelves for a while and just started reading it.
One of the bold things he says is that there is no rational argument against the “psychosis” of Jew hatred. True. This answers what to do about jihad in Israel and elsewhere. Don’t justify defending against it, as in “Look how nice we have been to you, and yet over the decades you kill us.”
Just demolish jihad.
Part of the problem is explaining why Jews have a right to defend themselves. I support the very brave and righteous Avi but these explanations become a legalistic trap for Jews. It is arguing for the right to defend oneself, coming from the less than fully human status picked up while living in exile.
Jews can never win like this. There will always be a “Yes, But…” In other words, Jews don’t deserve full human respect but must beg to be allowed to exist.
Better to say, Since you want to kill me, I will kill you. Period.
I’m definitely not into “legalistic traps”. I find the laws as written by men, to be hopelessly inadequate. It’s rather like when you are facing a gunman intent on immediately killing you, the prosecutor (of course!) will insist that legally one is supposed to call the police!
I think we’re all on the same page here. If only we could get our fellow Jews, particularly those living in Israel, to be fully realistic. There are no other ways out. Just ask the average Western European…
Those living in Israel and most other places are not really allowed to defend themselves by using weapons of any kind. The exception in Israel is the IDF and the police with the Shin Beth and some other government units. That makes it all too easy!! Give reservists their weapons back, right now!! Especially those living in J&S.
Definitely!!!
“Fully realistic” is a good phrase. We have to mount an aggressive campaign calling BS on mental traps that keep Jews from appropriate action against their enemies. This passivity, this futile justifying one’s natural right to self defense….this too is a pathology.
Kahane said, “Every Jew a twenty two.” Israel must create a Second Amendment, and fast.
Madeline, thanks for your message. It is definitely the case that Jews always need to justify their attempts to defend themselves.
Sarcastically, it is very unfair of the Jews to build shelters that those attacking us didn’t have the foresight to build for their populations. In the very special case of terror organizations, they dig tunnels to hide their missiles and themselves but not the populace.
Unfortunately, the religious level in Islam has a lot of power. They require adherence to the 5 times daily prayer sessions where the latest requirements for their behavior, including the indoctrination of their families are passed on to the attending men. No other religion takes this approach quite so seriously. This has reached the point where numerous cities around the world allow the muezzin to blast their calls to prayer so loudly that normal life is interrupted till all the faithful are assembled. Sure, you can argue that church bells can also interrupt daily life on occasion but not 5 times a day, every day.
“Unfortunately, the religious level in Islam has a lot of power.”
Not sure if Trump realizes this in his dealings with the Saudis. I’m sure MBS hasn’t forgotten or ignored the teachings of the Koran.
