Hamas Never Wanted a Deal

Peloni:  There is no deal which can be made with those whose entire existence, whose entire society, and whose only salvation, is based on your destruction.  Indeed, pretending that victory can be negotiated with such barbarians as Israel faces is in fact no more rational or equitable than the suggestion that paying Hamas would keep them from attacking which led to the folly of October 7.  They don’t want life, they don’t want delays, and they don’t want cash.  They simply want us dead.  It is time that a choice is made which disengages their ability to achieve their goals, and that is to pursue the nonnegotiable end of total victory over all of Gaza, now.

For almost two years now, Muslims in Gaza have tortured Jews, the males have been beaten up just for fun; the girls, women and boys repeatedly raped.

And how do we know this apart from the testimony of former hostages mercifully liberated? No less from Arabic language instructions found in the possession of Muslims that IDF soldiers had to kill. They contained explicit orders from those who sent them on how to torture and maim; the best way to kill a Jew with a knife by stabbing him in the neck and/or spine.

Also ordered by Hamas superiors was the providing of the most meagre rations to their captives, inducing the agony of constant hunger pangs and weakness.

These instructions to the predators also included the order to show no tolerance to any hostage who showed even the slightest resistance or objection to doing what he or she is told. The resistor must immediately be killed.

And this may be what the core relationship of this whole dismal episode is all about: domination and submission, “oppression and humiliation” as called for in the Koran. Casting their cruelty as the way to free their fellow fiends from Israeli prisons was always a cover story.

That is how Believers in the One True Faith, who believe theirs is the correct religion of Ibrahim (whose name they chronically mispronounce) are supposed to treat Jews, and that was the relationship until 1948. For fourteen centuries, wherever Jews lived in a Muslim country, they were not citizens with rights equal to those of Muslims. They lived in ghettoes (mellah in Morocco, hara in Algiers and Tunis, qaa in Yemen) for centuries before that institution emerged in 16th century Christian Europe.

Zionism is experienced by Muslims as a rebellion against their Sharia status as dhimmi, who have to pay a hefty annual, communal jezya tax for the “crime” of refusing to convert to Islam. Paying the jezya also buys them the permission to continue practicing the Jewish faith for another year. Zionism in Muslim minds is the intifada of the Jews.

So, I suspect Hamas’s concern for their brethren in Israeli prisons was never the true engine of their murderous and sadistic brutality. What these death cultists really wanted to do was what they did: to abuse, “oppress and humiliate,” soil, torment, horrify and cause intense pain to Jews. To rape their women and girls, shoot them in the head at the same time and in the end spill one’s seed into the corpse.

And the reason why the remaining diehards will never willingly liberate the Jews they torment is that they want Israel to invade to rescue the hostages, whom the Muslims will murder before the IDF can get to them and in turn be killed by the IDF kill transforming them a shahidin/martyrs. The IDF will also inadvertently kill many “innocent, “Ancient Palestinian civilians and thus expose themselves to mankind as guilty of genocide, of wantonly spilling innocent Ancient Palestinian blood.

The Jews will be exposed as no Chosen People but monsters on a par with the Nazis. The Jews will be revealed as the evilest people in the world, rather than be respected and admired as the StartUp Nation, favored by the U.S.A. far more than the “Palestinians.” Muslims have been afflicted with a murderous envy of the Jews ever since Ishmael was expelled by his father and lost the status and rights of a first-born son.

The Koran is an antisemitic tract. In a way, it is even more anti-Jew than Christian scripture for denigrating the Torah, which Christianity does not. While both Islam and Christianity claim to be successors to Judaism, they are very different in their relationship to the parent religion. The New Testament purports to be a continuation of the Jewish people; the Roman Catholic Church calls itself Verus Israel, the true Judaism.

But Islam does not. Christians append their Greek language narratives to their version in translation of the Jewish Bible — versus the Muslims who claim that the Jewish Bible is a fraud. Muslims believe Moses did not bring down from Mt. Sinai the Ten Commandments and dictated the Five Books (Pentateuch) to him, as Judaism holds. Moses brought down the Koran, Muslims say, and at the bottom, the evil Jews snatched it away from him and re-wrote it.

This explains why the Koran contains references to numerous Jews and their stories found in the Jewish Bible, only re-written. And to explain the different versions of the same stories, Muslims say that when Muhammad came into the world, he restored the original text, today’s Koran, and believe in its corollary that the Jews’ Five Books are a corrupt, plagiarization of it. For one, illustrative example, Islam teaches that Abraham did not bind his son Isaac for a sacrifice as the Jews believe. He bound his son Isma’il, and it took place in Mecca. When the Jews say the son chosen was Isaac, and it happened in Jerusalem, the Jews lie.

It is not too farfetched to see in the construction of this vast network of tunnels under Gaza intended, as even Hamas has said, not bomb shelters for the people of Gaza during an IDF attack but exclusively for the men of Hamas to hide, store food, weapons and ammunition, but also to rape, torture and humiliate their Jewish captives 24-7 for its own sake. Journalist Douglas Murray saw how “elated” the Muslims were that he saw in the IDF’s 47-minute video compilation of their horrors on October 7.

In sum, I don’t think these Muslim kidnapper-torturers ever really cared about freeing their Muslim Brotherhood brothers from Israeli prisons in exchange for Israeli captives. I think they now want Israel to crash into the areas where the IDF believes there are hostages, and in the process, thousands of Believers will be killed. The Jews will then be smeared with their victims’ blood and exposed as no Chosen People who think they are better than everyone else but guilty of genocide, just like the Nazis, now revealed as agents of the Shaitan, the Arabic mispronunciation of the Hebrew word Satan (sah-tanh).

The great medieval Spanish Rabbi Abraham Ibn Ezra (1089-1167) lived all his life surrounded by Muslims, and said that Arabic, which he surely spoke perfectly, was the bad Hebrew of larcenous, illiterate, nomadic, desert brigands.
