Shame on Israel’s Government

Peloni:  This war was not brought by Israel, but brough upon her, and this was accomplished in a manner so vile and barbarous that only the most ill-guided or intrinsically evil could even pretend to defend it.  It demonstrated the fact that Israel can no longer afford to be saddled with existential threats mounting on her borders or within them.  And so, war has been made to save the Jewish State from becoming the ground upon which another Holocaust might be perpetrated.  There is no guilt to be argued in doing so, and there can be no shame in this pursuit.  While the loss of innocents is always a tragedy, that tragedy is neither the product of Israeli actions or Israeli intentions, even presuming that the presumed innocents are actually as presumed.  Both the battle and the battlefield have been constructed by Israel’s enemies, and this fact is the context which is being ignored, by one and all in this moment.

On Monday, the IDF targeted rabid, undomesticated jackasses in human form sheltering among non-combatants inside a hospital built to serve the maniacs of October 7 as a base, as even from inside the building they tried to kill uniformed Jews who never intentionally kill unarmed enemy people.

There are more hospitals per capita in Gaza than in Israel, which is almost four times greater in population, a population famous for world-class medical care. And the reason for this is simple. The Muslim Brothers who hide behind the veil of Hamas built these hospitals as bases for themselves in the correct belief that Jews do not attack hospitals. First, they are terror bases, and only secondarily function as hospitals.

Their masterminds are the Muslim Brothers who are the enemies of the “Palestinian nationalism” people think they represent. Just like the Egyptian founder of the Brotherhood in 1928, who was not only not a self-defined “Palestinian,” he was the enemy of nationalism, specifically, that the nationalism that Ataturk was installing in a dereligionized Turkey; and the traditionalists did not like that. Ataturk forced the country to cease writing the Turkish language in Arabic script and use Latin leaders.

He also liberated women from the mandatory head covering and opened higher education to them, which enraged Hassan al-Banna, a school teacher in Port Said who founded the Brotherhood. The great divide between the Jews and Christians, vs. Muslims as societies and cultures, is the latter’s sex lives, the relationship of men to women. For Muslims, women are for making babies, cooking and doing the laundry who don’t need any education.

Hamas is a verbal veil for the Muslim Brotherhood that in essence is an enemy of nationalism. For what is that, if not a sentimental connection to other people who speak a common language, eat the same food? The word patriotism comes the Latin “patria” meaning that land of one’s father, a specific territory. Nationalism for Jews is also includes inseparably a specific religion. In Japan too, , the national religion is Shinto and who many people who are not Japanese practice Shinto?

Patriotism is for people who have things in common that set them apart from other peoples; customs, folklore, cuisine.

Patriotism is an attachment to a specific territory having nothing to do with religion. It is one of the great, devilish schemes of the eternal anti-Jew to have invented the “Palestinian” nation which is another verbal veil for the Muslim Brothers who see in patriotism/nationalism, a rival for a Believer’s largest group identity. Americans together before professional baseball games sing the national anthem, not some religious creed, when Muslims, quintessential totalitarians, want all people to have as their principal, largest group identity the Umma, the international congregation of Believers in the One True faith, not some country with its own language and different culture.

This business of calling these savage people in Gaza Hamas is another veil and worse, with even Israel adopting the view that in Gaza are there two kinds of people: Hamas terrorists and “innocent Palestinian civilians,” when we know now of life in Gaza these last decades, they are all Hamas. The whole Strip became one big terrorist camp.

But what did official Israel do yesterday when attacking would-be Jew-killers inside that hospital, where some 20 non-Hamas people also perished? The prime minister’s office expressed “deep regret. Israel values the work of journalists, medical staff and all civilians. The Israeli military authorities are conducting a thorough investigation. Our war is with Hamas terrorists. Our just goal is defeating Hamas and bringing our hostages home.

IDF spokesman Brig Gen Defrin also said, “I want be clear from the start the IDF does not intentionally target civilians.”

And I say, this is no way to react. It is self-abasing to try to persuade the goyim who hate us that we really are not as evil as they think. “We really are good boys and girls who have no desire to kill unarmed human beings!”

We need a prime minister who says, “International law, so beloved by Jew-haters, lays the guilt for the death yesterday on the non-combatants, the Muslim men of violence who created this facility as a base. Official Israel has to tell the world, “We regret nothing. This is exactly what these antediluvian ghouls wanted to happen, in order to smear Jews with innocent blood.”

Avraham Avinu, Abraham our father, is world famous for the most difficult of tests G-d put him through, which was the commandment that he bind his son Isaac for a human sacrifice, which we all know never happened, stopped by the same G-d who ordered Abraham to do this. It was a theological drama staged to show the world that the G-d of Abraham was not into human sacrifice.

And where was this theological thriller acted out if not on the site of the future Temple, high in the hills above the peoples down below on both sides, Canaanites, who were practitioners of human sacrifice? We know this from the episode of the Scouts.

Both Christians and Muslims misunderstand the Binding of Isaac, which when they call it a sacrifice, because there was no sacrifice. It is about the binding of Isaac to the faith of his father.

Christian artists have painted this event countless times and uniformly portray Isaac as a terrified little boy, when the Torah, which is very good about keeping track of when people are born and die, of their ages, lets us do the math and understand Isaac was 37 years old at the time, as the Midrash embellishes with the description of him even cooperating, not resisting. He is as much a Believer in the G-d of his father as his father. He is a hero of the story no less.

This event is also the (stolen) foundation stone of Islam. The word islam means submission, as Ibrahim submitted to Allah’s demand that he bind his son Isma’il for a sacrifice. One of Islam’s 5 commandments — stealing the Jewish idea of a numerical list of commandments — is the obligation of a Believer at least once in his lifetime to make the pilgrimage to Mecca where the binding of Isma’il, Islam insists, took place. This episode is central to Islamic belief and its corollary that the Jewish version is a plagiarized lie.

Official Israel, the prime minister, was wrong to express regret for the deaths in that hospital yesterday of staff and journalists and other civilians who, the prime minister should have taught the world, may not have been armed terrorists themselves but certainly were in the service of these killers.

Israel needs leaders to teach the world this is what happens when barbarians shield themselves inside unarmed non-combatants about whose lives these bastards care nothing; and in international law, the Muslim men with weapons are the party guilty for the deaths yesterday of these so-called journalists who were there at the side of Hamas to function as PR mouthpieces.

Israel has nothing to apologize for yesterday. No regrets. This is what happens when the world looks upon Hamas as “Palestinian freedom fighters.” The entirety of the “Palestinian” identity is taurine excreta, if you remember your high school Latin that they ceased teaching in the 1960s, when the sexuality of decadent Rome metastasized inside the West; when the youth no longer had heroes who were real men in history of virtue and accomplishment but rock n’ roll musicians such as John Lennon of the Beatles who sang of the beauty of having nothing to die for. And what you get are students in the best universities today siding with the evilest people in the world.

Israel has nothing to apologize for. In centuries past, people would go out to watch two opposing armies in uniforms on a battlefield field duke it out. In some battles, civilian spectators would bring alone chairs and refreshment to spectate.

But barbarians are different. They are perennial losers to the West in conventional warfare between men in uniform on a battle field. They hide inside people’s homes, schools and hospitals. Yesterday’s violence was the IDF responding to danger inside that building and this is what you get. This is what the barbarians want to happen. We are now accused of callousness toward the innocent Palestinian civilians? This is sick. The men with weapons are those who care nothing for them.

Today there was more video out of Gaza of Hamas ghouls literally stomping on the face of a fellow Believer who disobeyed them. He was blindfolded, hog-tied, in a fetal position in the dirt, with his torturers not only stepping on his head but also using an iron bar to pound a shin bone, to break it in two, like a used match stick, so that if he survives, he will be a cripple to the end of his days.

Anyone who takes the side in these feral, Arab sadists — like these journalists and other civilians who died with them — is an accomplice to their evil.

Israel has nothing to apologize for.
