—————————————
Millions were horrified by the October 7 massacre in Israel. And millions have reveled in blaming the victims.
The insanity is not just the most recent “kill the Jews” massacre, but also the enthusiasm of Hamas apologists around the world, including at elite U.S. universities where lots of very ignorant smart students (“useful idiots”) parade their ignorance and misplaced values.
Israelis were good guys when they were murdered victims. As soon as they stood up and fought back the terrorists were forgotten and Israelis somehow became the bad guys. Being a target of such blame is a regular feature of life for Jews. Reference: The past 3,500 years.
The blood of murdered Israelis wasn’t yet dry before the wailing for Palestinians as the victims of Israelis began. The true responsibility for their suffering is the cruelty and criminality of Hamas and the inept, even criminal Palestinian leadership for 75 years. That truth has, at best, been touched only tangentially, as the world blames Jews yet again.
Well, screw that.
Here is a list of resources for the world to review as it decides where to point its finger.
Read Daniel Wolf’s post, J’Accuse – An Open Letter to Hamas Apologists.
And if you have the courage for it, read Dana Horn’s Why Jews Cannot Stop Shaking Right Now.
And if you think every mad thing in the Middle East is the fault of Jews and Israel, you owe yourself the benefit of an explanation grounded in fact. Find it here, oddly, from a far right source.
And if you’d like to hear a message of truth from an Israeli who means it when she says, “Never Again!” watch this video.
.
I can already hear the yeah-but chorus, so,
There is a stereotype of Jews meekly walking into Nazi gas chambers. That stereotype ignores the uprisings and rebellions done by Jews who would not be willing victims to that evil. Be assured that today not even one single Israeli is thinking anything but “Never Again!” This woman certainly isn’t. They – we – will not be meek victims.
If you think the Israeli offensive is too much, too brutal, that’s understandable – and you need to focus on this: A Hamas leader proudly declared last Thursday that, “There will be second, third, fourth Al Aqsa against Israel.” Indeed, this one isn’t over yet and Hamas continues to rain hundreds of rockets into Israel to kill civilians.
“Ghazi Hamad, a Hamas spokesperson said, ‘We are not ashamed to say this with full force. We must teach Israel a lesson and we will do this again and again.'”
He went on with yet more extermination talk. Does it still look like the Israelis are the bad guys?
Hamas is telling us as plainly as can be that either Hamas is stopped here and now or there will be another October 7, then another and another. They will never stop killing Israelis and Jews until Israel is erased from the globe and all Jews are dead.
Or until Israel stops them permanently.
.
So, to the clueless judgment dispensers of the world, especially the ones demanding that Israel stand down immediately:
If you were leading Israel right now, what would you do?
You’d damned well do whatever it takes to silence Hamas because you must protect your citizens.
You’d be sad for the non-combatant Palestinian losses and mad as hell that Hamas made you do that by putting their command centers underneath hospitals, their rocket launchers next to schools, their weapons caches in apartment buildings and their preventing civilians from escaping to safety.
Various Arab countries are pulling their ambassadors and envoys from Israel, including those of Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan and more. Their actions are in protest of Israel going after the Hamas murderers and the unintended harm to non-combatant Palestinians. If these Arab countries care so much about Palestinians, why has not even one of those countries or any other Arab or Muslim country done anything for Palestinians for over 75 years except to stoke their anger and send them arms to kill Israelis?
Gaza is by far the world’s oldest refugee camp and the entire Arab world is dedicated to keeping it that way. Next door to Gaza in the same desert there is a thriving, modern state. The Palestinians could build such a place for themselves, but instead they suffer in misery. They do so willingly and they accomplish not much more than to harbor resentment. Some transform their resentment into terrorism. It looks like they’d rather have their resentment and their rage and do their terrorism than have a good life for themselves and build something of value for their children.
So, after reading this and reviewing the linked material, somebody please tell me what Israel should do beyond what it is already doing to protect Palestinian civilians during this war started by Palestinian Hamas genocidal terrorists.

One Response to There’s No Way To Be Subtle About This
Frank Levy November 5, 2023
Jack – Just a short comment to reinforce your first couple of paragraphs. Dara Horn in the first line of Chapter 1 of her book “People Love Dead Jews: Reports from a Haunted Present,” writes, “PEOPLE LOVE DEAD JEWS. LIVING JEWS NOT SO MUCH.” That is why, among other things like anti-Semitism, the world was outraged on October 7 and 8, and sickened by everything Israel did to protect its civilian population every day since. This includes those deluded Jews who support Hamas and its actions while condemning the actions of the IDF in its efforts to free the hostages, destroy Hamas, and protect Israel from being wiped off the map by Hamas and its allies in other Arab nations.
