The Western world awoke Saturday morning to war in Israel, images of Hamas terrorists slaughtering Israeli civilians in the streets, and Hamas rockets raining down on Israeli neighborhoods. Israeli families were (and, as of this writing, still are) fleeing for their lives.
On social media, Hamas posted horrifying videos — a dead, naked Israeli woman being paraded through the streets, plainclothes Hamas fighters slitting the throats of civilians in their cars, and women and children being kidnapped and carried away to a fate worse than death.
But one thing is immediately clear: Gaza will now be reduced to rubble. Israel, on the 50th anniversary of the 1973 Yom Kippur War, is once again in a fight for its existence, and the gloves will come off.
Given the long-established facts of the Israel-Palestinian question, this is as it should be. For all the talk about Nazis in Ukraine lately, the truth is that the real Nazis are in the Middle East, and they are all enemies of Israel. It’s time to deal with them for good. Hamas must be eradicated just as the Nazis were eradicated. Any end to this war that doesn’t achieve that will be a catastrophe for Israel.
For its part, the U.S. should make clear that it will veto any U.N. ceasefire resolution before Israel declares victory. And an actual victory will require Israel seizing control of all Gaza’s territory and then going house to house, seizing every weapon and killing everyone who doesn’t surrender. The Israelis will have to keep this up until the unconditional surrender of Hamas.
What does unconditional surrender look like? Let history be our guide. As Allied forces swept into Germany in 1945, tin plates bearing this proclamation from Gen. Eisenhower were nailed to posts and walls in both English and German:
I, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Commander Allied Expeditionary Force, do hereby proclaim as follows:
The Allied forces serving under my command have now entered Germany. We come as conquerors, but not as oppressors. In the area of Germany occupied by the forces under my command we shall obliterate nazism and German militarism. We shall overthrow the Nazi rule, dissolve the Nazi party and abolish the cruel, oppressive and discriminatory laws and institutions which the party has created. We shall eradicate that German militarism which has so often disrupted the peace of the world. Military and party leaders, the Gestapo and others suspected of crimes and atrocities will be tried and, if guilty, punished as they deserve.
2.Supreme legislative, judicial and executive authority and powers within the occupied territory are vested in me as Supreme Commander of the Allied forces and as military governor, and the military government is established to exercise these powers under my direction. All persons in the occupied territory will obey immediately and without question all the enactments and orders of the military government. Military government courts will be established for punishment of offenders. Resistance to the Allied forces will be ruthlessly stamped out. Other serious offenses will be dealt with severely.
3. All German courts and educational institutions within the occupied territory are suspended. The Volksgerichtshof, the Sondergerichte, the SS police courts and other special courts are deprived of authority throughout the occupied territory. Reopening of the criminal and civil courts and educational institutions will be authorized when conditions permit. All officials are charged with the duty of remaining at their posts until further orders and obeying and enforcing all orders or directions of military government or the Allied authorities addressed to the German Government or the German people. This applies also to officials, employees and workers of all public undertakings and utilities and to all other persons engaged in essential work.
DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER, General, Supreme Commander, Allied Expeditionary Force
That’s why Israel must make sure they keep the U.S. out of it. America sux at fighting guerilla wars.
And THIS TIME, let’s not give Gaza the funds to rebuild their well-deserved destruction of infrastructure. Let them live in the ruins!
IF the images are true and not globalist propaganda. There are forces that desperately want a global war.
correct. but the ghetto-minded supplicant cowards in Jerusalem will stop their defense action and try to appease their terrorist murderers with MORE money and MORE concessions and by permitting the Fakestianian Occupation of Israel to continue even longer
Israel needs to learn from her own history.
Israel needs to learn from every other surviving nation on earth’s history.
You can only defeat your enemies by defeating them, not by kissing their butts and showering more favors on them
Jewish people are very smart when it comes to science, technology, medicine, art, music, literature, commerce, humanitarian aid for others... very capable people. The only thing they are totally inept at is learning from history. You are safe when you have eliminated your enemies. Not until then, and especially not when you are allowing them to continue Occuping half your country
Islam must be outlawed and eradicated the way nazism was in Germany and the way Japan was subjugated. Mosques everywhere should not be tolerated, even in America.
Title says it all.
Socialists are aligned with “Palestinians for Liberty” that is a left-wing-nut word salad as valuable as “Diversity is Our Strength.”
Socialists are aligned with terrorism that is a left-wing-nut instrument used to destroy liberty and coerce people into serfdom.
Cut the head off of the snake. Make Iran unable to commit to war or terrorism.
Modern people have forgotten the fundamental rule of war, namely that only two ways to win exist: (1) kill all of the enemy or (2) break the enemy’s will to fight. That is it. No third way exists. Period.
Don’t stop with Hamas, Palestinians are out there celebrating the killing of Israelis and Americans.
That also entered my mind. The puppet masters have been unable to to get us directly involved in the Ukraine war. Now there are calls for us to attack Iran.
With the state our military is in with depleted weapons and the woke ideology from the leadership, we would not be at our fighting best.
Israel needs to be allowed to do what it needs to do to protect itself. Unfortunately, as soon as they start winning there will be calls for peace.
I completely agree. There isn’t a single person that can be expected to do the correct things in the Biden Administration, the State Department, in the U.S. Intelligence Community (two dozen or so deep state spy agencies), and in our military leadership. There’s only about twenty congressmen and senators that can be counted on to do the right things and they will over ruled by the incompetents. Everything thing the U.S. government touches turns to shit.
Israel is completely capable of making their own decisions and defending themselves. They are not some third world shithole. The only thing that we should give Israel is permission to purchase American weapons using their own money. Individuals can lend moral support by virtue signaling if they desire. Otherwise we should be focused on our own problems, and we have plenty of them.
I’ve not yet seen a righteous condemnation from the Israeli government of the international community for this.
I don’t expect it either. So goes the game.
Remember what progressives are doing to the US; the globalists are accomplishing the same in Israel.
The proof is what we’re NOT hearing from them.
You can expect that, against the odds, if we succeed in 2024, there will be much (hypocritical) violence in the streets.
If, like the pathetic Israelis, you believe you’re immune to what’s happening here, you might as well drop that toaster in the bath, because you’re as guilty as those who are fomenting conflict here by inaction.
They’ve been doing to Netanyahu, what they’ve been doing to Trump, for years.
I share the sentiment. But Gaza reduced to rubble means 2.2 million refugees. Israel can't take them for existential reasons. Jordan, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon won't take then. Europe, no. America, hell no.
The only thing left is a medium intensity managed solution with targeted attacks for, well....ever.
“Cut the head off of the snake. Make Iran unable to commit to war or terrorism.”
IMO Tehran should have been turned to irradiated glass a long time ago.
The headline is spot on.
Yup.
The dark irony is that everything they say about the masses is 100% true.
“You can only defeat your enemies by defeating them, not by kissing their butts and showering more favors on them.”
It was ever thus.
