In Times of Crises is When you Find Out Who Your True Friends Are

 I submitted the following to a couple of news media in Toronto. I doubt that they publish it but hopefully they read it.

The war in Gaza is not political. I don’t care if you are on the right or left, Muslim or Jew, Conservative or Liberal. I don’t care what Bibi might have said years ago or what Smotrich said last month. In fact I don’t care what anyone said. I don’t care about the history of the Israeli-Arab conflict. I definitely don’t want to listen to any historical lectures right now, despite me being a lover of history. Sadly I’m hearing that and worse from far too many people right now. 

What Hamas did was unspeakable. I’m happy that they are thrilled to advertise their heinous crimes. Unlike the Nazis who tried their best to hide them, Hamas is so deranged, they are proud of their handiwork so they share it with the world. General Eisenhower ordered US troops to photograph and video the horrors of the death camps after liberation because he knew that years later people would deny all of it. And deny it they did.

Just like this war. Already many are denying that dozens of Israeli babies had their heads chopped off. 

In times of crises, that’s when you find out who your real friends are. Any sane person in the world who doesn’t see the obvious, doesn’t want to and never will.

Those protesters singing From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free (of Jews), need to be shipped off to Gaza or Iran. That’s clearly where they belong. Anyone who talks of proportionality vis a vis Israel’s response, also needs to go to there. Anyone who pressures Israel to cease their blockade of Gaza, give them food, water, electricity or aid them in any way, needs to go to there or perhaps offer their children up for beheading. 

This war is no different than fighting the Nazis in WWII. We must fight to win. In war people die. Nothing we can do about it. I will definitely not shed a tear for the Arabs in Gaza just like I wouldn’t have shed a tear for the Germans who suffered in WWII. Because I was too busy shedding tears for my family who were mostly wiped out in the Holocaust. 

I am blessed to see some of my Righteous Gentile friends reach out to me and completely understand the situation. They rightly acknowledge that the only solution is for Israel to wipe out Hamas and flatten Gaza. If Israel does not flatten it and remove every last Gazan from there, then this war will repeat itself over and over again. Further, Israel must wipe out all the oil, military and nuclear facilities in Iran for the same reason. Iran is the head of the snake and everyone bloody well knows it. It’s a tragic shame that this austere task will fall on tiny Israel to do. 

There are no innocent civilians in Gaza anymore. If there ever was, they have been radicalized by the very Hamas leaders who they voted in decades ago. Any anger felt for their mistreatment must be directed solely at Hamas who love to use them as human shields. 

If you don’t stand with Israel 100%, you are on the wrong side of history. 

G-d Bless Israel!
