When Gaza has Money, Hamas has Rockets  

“As long as the United States, the United Nations, and other allegedly peaceful countries provide funds to Gaza, and as long as Hamas continues to direct Gaza’s treasury, it’s as if we peaceful westerners ourselves were the ones buying Hamas the weapons”

By John F. Di Leo

Whether you grew up watching reality law enforcement programs or fictional mafia movies, there’s one thing everyone knows: When a known hit man murders a stranger, the odds are at least ten to one that he was paid to do it. Find the person who paid him, and you’ve identified the real responsible party.

This doesn’t just go for individual crimes, either.  The same principle applies on the grand scale.

On Oct. 7, 2023, a horde of Islamofascist terrorists known as Hamas launched simultaneous, carefully coordinated attacks on Israel.

Israeli Victory Is the Only ‘Proportional’ Response  

Israel Victory Project

by Nave Dromi, JNS    October 18, 2023

https://www.meforum.org/israel-victory-project/65002/israeli-victory-is-the-only-proportional-response

Published originally under the title “Victory Is the Only ‘Proportional’ Response.”
Once again, the international community and the media are becoming obsessively focused on the ridiculous notion of “proportionality” in regard to Israel’s response to the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre.

First, it should be clearly understood that there is no accepted or exact definition of the term “proportionality” or a formula for calculating it.

In general, the principle of proportionality involves a balance between the military advantage that will likely result from a proposed operation and the harm that is likely to be inflicted on civilians and noncombatants.

Later this week, U.S. President Joe Biden intends to ask Congress for “an unprecedented support package for Israel’s defense,” he said today at the David Kempinski Hotel in Tel Aviv. “The world will know that Israel is stronger than ever, and my message to any state or any other hostile actor thinking about attacking Israel remains the same as it was a week ago: Don’t. Don’t. Don’t.”

Joint war cabinet: No aid to Gaza as long as hostages are not returned  

Israel will not stop the food, water, and medication from Egypt from reaching civilians in the southern Gaza Strip as long as it does not reach Hamas.

Oct 18, 2023, 6:01 PM

The Prime Minister’s Office summed up the joint cabinet meeting with US President Joe Biden and said that three decisions were made in light of the overwhelming US support and the vitality of the war effort and in light of Biden’s demand for basic humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.

The central decision is that “Israel will not allow any humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip as long as the hostages are not returned.”

Israel’s war on Hamas – Western defense against Islamic terrorism  

Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger, “Second Thought: a US-Israel Initiative”

Hamas’ anti-Western strategy

*Hamas was established in 1988, as a spin-off of the Muslim Brotherhood, as were ISIS, Al Qaeda, the Islamic Jihad, Boko Haram and scores of additional terror entities. The Muslim Brotherhood is the largest Sunni terror organization, haunting all pro-US Arab regimes, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Thailand, Africa, Europe and the USA. Its strategic goal is to topple all national Muslim regimes, bring the Western “infidel” to submission, and establish a universal Muslim society.

*Hamas, just like the Muslim Brotherhood, considers Israel as “an infidel” entity in “the abode of Islam,” a US beachhead in the Middle East and a deterring ally of all pro-US Arab regimes.

Gaza: The case for annexation  

T. Belman. Good for Jonathan. I have argued the same thing. I went farther and I suggested that the IDF push the Gazans out of the north 80%  of Gaza before annexing it.  Then Israel should not permit their return.

I think that Jonothan is wrong to suggest that Israel should declare its intention now.

By Jonathan Pollard

As I write this essay, rockets launched by Hamas from Gaza are being intercepted over my home in Jerusalem. And while the successive detonations I hear provide a sense of relief that these enemy rockets are being successfully destroyed by our Iron Dome defenses, I’m reminded that each one of them was launched with the specific intention of murdering innocent civilians in our capital. However, given the fact that Hamas has apparently only used up about a third of its estimated long-range rocket arsenal, they can continue to keep launching missiles at central Israel for quite some time.

It is heartwarming that the world loves dead Jews so much  

This war is not about revenge or justice, but about killing murderers so fewer Jews are killed..Find somewhere else for your wreaths.Opinion

By Rabbi Prof. Dov Fischer, INN      Oct 17, 2023, 5:11 PM (GMT+3)

Isn’t it heartwarming that the world loves dead Jews so much? I almost feel guilty for getting that lung transplant. It pains me that I deprived so many members of Black Lives Matter — may they all be damned by G-d Almig-ty — and so many neo-Nazi White Supremacists of a small moment of extra joy.

My gosh, how beautiful their eulogies are! In England, they have projected an Israeli flag image, replete with Jewish star, on 10 Downing. In France, on the Eiffel Tower. In Germany, on the Brandenburg Gate. I could go on. Projecting six-pointed stars in the blue and white. Touching.

Gaza civilians need refuge. Why won’t the Arab world provide it?  

T. Belman. Jacoby said “It has already said that after Hamas is defeated, residents will be free to return to Gaza City and other communities in the north.”. If so, Israel must cancel this commitment.

By Jeff Jacoby, BOSTON GLOBE

The plight of innocent civilians in Gaza, who are suffering greatly in this war caused by their Hamas rulers, is genuinely terrible. The distress of families displaced by attacks on their neighborhood can’t help but evoke pity. Images of babies killed in airstrikes are heartbreaking. Israel’s warning on Thursday that residents of the northern Gaza Strip head south to avoid the coming violence has sent many thousands of people fleeing in search of safety. Who could look at such upheaval and fail to be moved?

Apparently, the entire Arab world.

As Israel prepares massive ground campaign, the end game remains opaque  

After October 7 horror, Netanyahu’s cabinet is determined to bring Hamas down, but confounding questions will have to be answered

It seems inevitable that Israel will embark on a massive ground operation in Gaza in the coming days, potentially its largest in four decades.

Israeli leaders haven’t exactly tried to hide what’s coming. The IDF said on Saturday it was finalizing its preparations for a “coordinated attack from the air, sea and land.”
