[A]ll Hamas needs to do to prevent this destruction is return all the hostages it should not have kidnapped in the first place. Amnesty International has served up a remarkable inversion of facts.
“What’s shocking is that people in the Cease-Fire Now crowd don’t appear to have much interest in making any demands of Hamas equivalent to those they make of Israel. They want Israel to stop firing. But do you often hear them insisting that Hamas return the favor? They want Israel to provide Gaza with humanitarian relief in the form of electricity, fuel and other goods. But I haven’t seen those protesters in the street demanding that Hamas provide Israel with humanitarian relief in the form of immediately freeing all hostages…. For Israelis, what ‘Cease-Fire Now’ means is ‘Surrender Now.’ No wonder they decline to heed the call…. Whatever else one thinks of Israel, no country can be expected to sign its own death warrant by indulging those who, if given the chance, would annihilate it.” — Bret Stephens, New York Times, November 21, 2023.
Clearly a massive dark-money problem obscenely exists within far too many universities and cities both in the US and Europe.
It is also important to highlight the unabashedly toxic role of the United Nations…. [T]he United Nations quickly became the world’s leading organization for, among other unsavory practices, propagating hatred of Israel and a general hatred of Jews.
The Palestinian Authority to this day pays its citizens to murder Jews — the more Jews, the larger the payments.
In Europe, organizations that fight anti-Semitism…. Often left-wing, they primarily denounce far-right anti-Semitism, but never far-left anti-Semitism, and never ever Islamic anti-Semitism — currently the only form of anti-Semitism in Europe that attacks and kills Jews. Most Jewish organizations in Europe support Israel, but more often than not advocate for dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians and still support the mirage of a “two-state solution.”
The vast majority of Israelis seem finally to have understood that the goal of Palestinian organizations is not to create a state living in peace alongside Israel, but to destroy Israel.
In the mainstream European and American media, the unspeakable October 7, 2023 Hamas massacre in Israel seems largely forgotten. The media rarely describe Hamas as a terrorist organization with genocidal aims. When the word “genocide” is used, even by self-described “human rights organizations,” it is to accuse the victim of the attacks, Israel.
Israel forcibly removed every Jew from Gaza in 2005 – long before the October 7, 2023 massacre. Nevertheless, one of Amnesty International’s current campaigns, “End Israel’s Genocide against Palestinians in Gaza,” continues to refer to the “occupied Gaza Strip.” Gaza has not been occupied for twenty years; it is not occupied now. Gaza is the theater from where Palestinians are still firing rockets and missiles at civilian targets in Israel.
