As the news of the so-called “hostage deal” is made public, I can’t help but feel we are being set up! How could our government in good conscience agree to accept only some of the hostages? Don’t they realize this will endanger our soldiers, by accepting a ceasefire as part of the absurd conditions being dictated by none other than Hamas!
Why would we trust them at all? They are negotiating only because we are getting close to their leaders, destroying many of them, and their tunnels. And, exposing them to a world which seems to believe them, regardless of the facts on the ground, and their own camera’s evidence.
But, the truth is I care little about world opinion, perhaps because I am simply one of “we the people”, with no interest other than what is good for my people and my country, at this point. While we are slowly getting over the total shock of Simchas Torah, otherwise known as Black Shabbat, October 7th, this year, our “war cabinet.” those dealing with the war,and making these weighty decisions, are the very same people who were asleep at the wheel, and who allowed this catastrophe to happen!
What’s changed in their mindset of appeasement and taking Hamas at its word?
We awoke to the worst massacre against our people in my lifetime. Since the Holocaust. Yes, we have seen horror, as cafes, pizzerias and buses blew up regularly during the Intifadas (aka the Oslo War).. And yes I remember the Fogel family slaughter and the Har Nof synagogue slaughter and not so long ago another night of slaughter in Never Yaakov, the last two perpetrated by Israeli Arabs who worked in those very neighborhoods!
But those were relatively “small” “events”, nothing to compare to what we saw in the south on October 7th! That was a whole other level of evil. I would say we are now engaged in the war against Amalek. It could not be more clear! The world likes to call it genocide...my sense is we are doing the world a favor!
And the prescription and first rule of war, when dealing with Amalek is, NO MERCY! They must ALL be destroyed. Even their animals! Men, women and yes, children too! Harsh? One only need see the footage shown to foreign journalists and ambassadors, to understand the degree of depravity and evil, done with “glee” as described by Douglas Murray, one of the few unbiased reporters that was on the ground in Israel since October 7th. In his words, this was even beyond the cruelty of the Nazis!
I have no need to apologize for our actions. If I had my say I would encourage more bombing from the air until the Gazans themselves beg the Egyptians to allow them to get out of Gaza.
Ever wonder why no Arab country wants even one?
Only under this “hostage exchange agreement” is the Red Cross going to be able to meet with the hostages. Why have they not met them yet? Where are the humanitarian gestures towards our people? Gas, food, water and fie; being allowed in for “humanitarian” aid...and what did we get in return?
Why are the Gazans deserving of our concern? I don’t get it? Is it because our so called “leaders” don’t have the courage to tell the Americans, that we promised our people we will restrict any kind of aid until our hostages are at least, seen by the Red Cross, before the ceasefire. I would have held out steadfastly until the Gazans were on their knees!
As we see the huge support worldwide for Hamas, we capitulate once again to those who understand only too well, that this show is coming to a theater near them...very very soon! Hamas is not a “group” it is a jihadist ideology. “From the river to the sea” calls for the genocide that they accuse us of moving towards.
Israel, and the Jews are always the canary in the coal mine, but it never ends with the Jews!
