Israel, Free World, in Increasing Danger Thanks to U.S. Help

• #Hamas not only uses its #civilians as #humanshields but may be the first #terrorist #government in #history that wants to see its own #people #killed in order to #blame another #country, #Israel, for their #deaths. Meanwhile, Israel goes out of its way – seriously risking the lives of its soldiers – not to commit any #crimesagainsthumanity or indiscriminately #bomb, as #Russia does in #Ukraine.
• "Israel implemented more measures to prevent civilian #casualties than any #nation in history," wrote John Spencer, chair of urban warfare studies at the Modern War Institute at #WestPoint.
• For decades, many of the countries of the #Arab world have wanted to #erase Israel from the #map. Each time, they have failed. Their #project consists of trying to #destroy the #Jewish state and kill every #Jew, as Hamas' 1988 #Charter requires. No one in a #Western country could support it without being seen as an #antiSemite.
• A #radical change occurred, however, in 1964. The #Palestine Liberation Organization (#PLO) was founded, and the #myth of "Palestinian cause" was invented. Zuheir Mohsen (زهير محسن) a leading PLO member responsible for the #Damur #massacre, #admitted:
• "The #Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality, today, there is no difference between #Jordanians, Palestinians, #Syrians, and #Lebanese.
• "Only for #political and #tactical #reasons do we #speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab #national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct 'Palestinian people' to oppose #Zionism. For tactical reasons, #Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to #Haifa and #Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, #BeerSheva, and #Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan."
• A "national #liberation struggle" was, in fact, fabricated by the #SovietUnion's #KGB, according to Ion Mihai Pacepa, who served from 1972 to 1978 as deputy chief of #Romania's #foreign #intelligence #service and #advisor to #Romanian #dictator Nicolae #Ceausescu. Pacepa said:
• "The PLO and the Palestinian #Narrative was dreamt up by the KGB, which had a penchant for 'liberation' organizations."
• "First, the KGB destroyed the official records of #Arafat's birth in #Cairo, and replaced them with fictitious documents saying that he had been born in Jerusalem and was, therefore, a Palestinian by birth."
• "According to [#Soviet leader Yuri] #Andropov, the #Islamic world was a waiting petri dish in which we could nurture a virulent strain of #America -#hatred, #grown from the bacterium of #Marxist - #Leninist thought. Islamic anti-Semitism ran deep... We had only to keep repeating our themes — that the #UnitedStates and Israel were "#fascist, #imperial -Zionist countries" bankrolled by rich Jews."
• Israel was no longer described as a small Jewish state besieged by much larger, powerful Arab countries filled with #despicable #intentions. Israel was suddenly presented as an " #imperialist " #power #oppressing a small deprived people and supposedly having #stolen their #land. #AntiIsraeli terrorist acts were presented as " #resistance ". The aim was to #seduce the #West, and it was quickly seduced.
• An #illusory " #peace process" began. In reality, it was a #war process. The PA areas became a base for #bloody anti-Israeli attacks, which did not #diminish in #intensity until a #security #barrier, begun in #2002, was mostly completed in #2007.
• Called by Andrew Roberts "The #Churchill of the #MiddleEast ," [Israel's #PrimeMinister Benjamin #Netanyahu ] evidently sees that Israel has no " #partner for #peace . "
• "Palestine" became a #member of #UNESCO in #2011, even as the #PalestinianAuthority continued supporting #terrorism and is, therefore, a terrorist entity. This reward for terrorism marked the first time that a terrorist entity was granted a seat in an #organization purporting to #promote #world peace.
• So-called #humanrights organizations, as well as the #media and so-called #educational institutions, have been #complicit.
• #American #universities and #colleges have received #donations "that have no recorded nor reported dates of receipts" currently estimated at $22 billion. ["More than 50% of this has come from #authoritarian and #antidemocratic Middle East governments..."]
• After these billions, in almost all universities in the US, the history of the Middle East is taught in accordance with the "Palestinian cause". No one says that this "cause" was #invented in 1964.
• The #Biden #administration rarely, if ever, criticizes the Palestinian Authority, nor Hamas and its sponsors #Qatar and #Iran.
• The Biden administration also leaves aside that the Palestinian Authority -- which pays its people for life if they #murder Jews – is still a terrorist entity and instead treats it as if it were a legitimate #interlocutor.
• As the State of Palestine does not actually exist, deciding to "recognize" it will not bring it into being. On the contrary, the announcement will reinforce the #belligerent #actions of the Palestinian Authority and the #leeriness of the Israelis. The Israelis clearly saw the Palestinians violate an official #ceasefire on October 7; murder, #rape, #torture, #kidnap and start an #unprovoked #war; then #complain to the #international #community when the Israelis were inconsiderate enough to #fight back.
• The haste of #Spain, #Ireland and #Norway can only lead Hamas leaders and their supporters to think that terrorism works and achieves results. Just wait until they try it again in #Europe, especially after Iran has its #nuclear #bomb.
• If Hamas manages to survive the current war – as its patrons, Qatar, Iran and the Biden administration apparently wish -- Hamas will be able to continue organizing terrorist acts. In fact, Hamas official Ghazi #Hamad has vowed to do exactly that:...
• Currently, despite #pressures, #betrayals and attempts at #destabilization, Netanyahu #stands #firm and #fights. He appears under no #illusion about what will happen if Hamas, after the fighting is over, is allowed to continue as a terrorist #threat.
• Of course, Hamas, Qatar and Iran do not want to stop; they want to have the international community and America tell Israel to stop -- permanently -- and leave them free to continue their attacks.
• Hamas is interested only in a "permanent ceasefire" by Israel, not a temporary pause. Why should they agree to a pause when they see the whole world attacking Israel? To them, everyone is roughing up Israel: it looks as if they are winning. Now the US is reportedly trying to cut a separate deal to release the five American #hostages, leaving the other 120 hostages, and Israel, high and dry. Some believe that at least a third of them have been killed. That would be the ultimate triumph: having the US grant the #aggressor, the terrorist group Hamas, a big reward for its #massacre, to induce it to go to sleep before the #November #election.
• As far as the #Saudis are concerned, the last thing they want is a Palestinian state. They just cannot say so publicly.
• For four years, Israel's enemies were largely powerless and silent. It would be so helpful for the #Free World, the #US, and even the #indoctrinated, abysmally governed Palestinians, to have those policies back.
