Among the most recent updates in the current Gaza war is Hamas challenging Israel’s justification for its latest carefully targeted airstrikes.

After America was attacked by Imperial Japan on December 7, 1941, and by jihadi Arab Islamists on 9/11/2001, we did not seek a ceasefire with our enemies.
We accepted nothing but total VICTORY and absolute DEFEAT of them.
In our above enemies’s own eyes, they had reason to launch attacks against us as well. But that didn’t stop us from achieving our goals.
Ditto regarding Nazi Germany.
Over a million innocent enemy civilians were firebombed, nuked, and otherwise slaughtered during America and its Allies assaults on enemy territory.
And, unlike what Israel has repeatedly done, neither the Allies nor ourselves drop millions of notes from the air, make hundreds of thousands of cell phone calls, and other attempts to prevent enemy non-combatants from getting harmed, thereby telegraphing its punches and forfeiting the important element of surprise. This often led to increased casualties among IDF soldiers as a result.
This latest ceasefire was shoved down Israel’s throat, forcing it to sacrifice the important momentum it had gained in order to prevent it from achieving the total victory (which we demanded for ourselves) over its bloodthirsty, genocidal enemies whose admitted goals are the total annihilation of the sole, minuscule, resurrected nation of Israel Reborn, and massacre of all Jews everywhere, not only in Israel…
That Hamas is still able to make demands is ludicrous.
It started this unprovoked war by DELIBERATELY AND wantonly slaughtering the equivalent of 40,000 INNOCENT American civilians on October 7th, 2023.
It had been slaughtering large numbers of Jews by blowing up civilian buses, pizzerias, teen nightclubs, Passover Seders. ice cream parlors, and even constructed a museum displaying models of Jewish body parts hanging from rafters to commemorate the Sbarro pizzeria bombing in a university in Judea/“West Bank.”
Arab civilians killed have no one to blame but the very folks whom they themselves freely elected to power, knowing full well what the Hamas Charter, and Fatah rival’s modus operandi regarding Jews is, as well.
They’re merely flip sides of the same terror coin.
In most Arab eyes, only they and they alone have any political rights to independence in the entire region of MENA—“purely Arab patrimony” is how they describe this state of affairs— and to hell with anyone else’s ancestral rights and aspirations.
This is the response to such prevailing Arab mindset and claims:

And, in case you still have ANY doubts as to whom the land in question is the 4,000 year old ancestral homeland of, despite unfortunate periods of forced exile, be sure to carefully review this next analysis…

Given such a rejectionist, supremacist enemy, any nation, let alone one 9-15 miles wide, surrounded by hundreds of millions of foes which wish it dead, has but one choice—and it’s NOT repeated “hudna” ceasefires which only give Israel’s non-compromising, genocidal foes time to regroup, reorganize, rearm, and so forth.
Hamas has repeatedly stated that it intends to repeat October 7th over and over again.
Ergo, this is the only option any nation in Israel’s position can pursue:

The biggest problem for the West, including the Jews, is that we worry constantly about “what people think” or “world opinion”.
The truth is that in absolute terms people don’t think; they are mostly asleep; a condition encouraged by our “leaders”.
Time is running out. The job must be finished no matter what. We now have that capability, but for how much longer?
Keelie, the issue is worse: Israel is not allowed to win. Ever since the 6 Day War and the impression that left on the world stage, the world cannot allow Israel to win.
We often get the impression, even in Israel, that Israel is not allowed to win because then the Arabs lose. That would be a killer for ongoing business, or so we are led to believe. I believe, if Israel is allowed to win, business will come to Israel.
