'Peace for us means the destruction of Israel. We are preparing for an all-out war, a war which will last for generations.'

These were Arafat's words in 1980.

World leaders never took this pledge seriously; and Palestinians and Israelis continue to pay the price for it.

By its own admission, Hamas claims that 22k Palestinians have died in Gaza; while we know from Israeli sources that an estimated 13k of these were combatants.

That is less than one civilian casualty PER combatant. A record in modern warfare.

This is just blood libel.

Coming from the Congressman that took to the streets in the weeks after October 7th to deny the many existing allegations and testimonies of Hamas' raping of Israeli women.

I guess we're no longer making distinctions between a surgical counterterrorism operation and the firing of more than hundred ballistic missiles at a civilian population.

That Israel and its partners conducted perhaps the most succesful air defense operation in modern military history should not take away from the fact that Iran was sufficiently emboldened to launch 100 ballistic missiles at another sovereign state.

A response is necessary.

If Biden demands that Israel not retaliate after waves of hundreds of drones and ballistic missiles held 9.5 million Israelis hostage for hours, at what point will Israel be 'allowed' to respond?

What is the threshold? And is every other sovereign state held to the same one?

There is an interesting symmetry between Biden’s policy on Israel and Ukraine. He is only in favor of their defense, not their victory. A strategic paradigm leading both allies toward disaster.

Foreign policy isn’t complicated. When you signal you might pull support for an ally like Israel, you diminish deterrence. When you diminish deterrence, the enemy feels emboldened to strike.

Then you have to actually consider getting involved in a war because you were too…

The first casualty of Iran’s indiscriminate attack against Israel is a 10-year-old boy from a Bedouin town near the city of Arad and is in serious condition.

Remember that.

Let's make things clear: Israel engaged in a targeted strike against two Iranian generals and five officers, who were members of a terror organization and have civilians' blood on their hands.

With its armed drones, Iran is threatening the lives of 9.5 million Israelis.

For months, mainstream media and governments around the world cited Hamas' figures without a shred of skepticism; the same figures used to legitimize violence and hatred against Jewish communities around the world.

Less than one civilian per combatant killed.

Astounding.

Virtually no media outlet is covering the massive amount of humanitarian aid sitting in Gaza awaiting distribution. It seems Israel is delivering aid faster than humanitarian organizations can distribute it.

A clear indicator of genocide.

Do many perpetrators of genocide invest in the provision of basic goods and services for the population they are supposed to be eradicating?

The man lost three of his children and shows an absolute lack of sadness or pain, only comfort that his children were 'martyred.'

Again, the world fails to understand that generations of Palestinians have been brainwashed to believing there's more glory in death than life.

This is next level gaslighting . The man kidnapped an Israeli, gouged out his eyes, castrated and murdered him, and it takes CNN six paragraphs to only vaguely mention it cnn.com/2024/04/09/mid…

Tucker Carlson, Mehdi Hassan, Candace Owens...

They all know what they are doing, and they are doing it because they think the environment is ripe for the exploitation of mass antisemitic sentiments.

How their careers continue will be indicative of where we stand as a society.

Israel is the only country in the region where a Christian pastor can complain about his government and keep his head. This would be good context to provide. But Tucker is an online influencer now, and antisemitism is what sells.

It gets worse. I hear that Israel executed this man merely for being an architect.
