RUTHFULLY YOURS

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2025/10/hamas_says_yes_but_and_the_world_looks_away.html

There’s finally a deal on the table.  Eight Muslim nations signed on.  The Palestinian Authority signed on.  The world is ready to stop the bloodshed.  And yet — predictably, infuriatingly — Hamas shrugs and says, “Yes, but…”

Every time there’s a glimmer of peace, Hamas moves the goalposts.  Another round of haggling.  Another round of delay.  Another chance to keep the chaos going — because chaos is the only currency Hamas knows how to spend.

And here’s the question no one seems to ask: Where are the protesters now?

For months, we’ve seen mobs in the streets screaming, “Ceasefire now!”  They chained themselves to bridges.  They stormed college campuses.  They shouted down Jewish students and politicians.  But now — when there’s actually a ceasefire deal that Israel and the Arab world have signed off on — the silence is deafening.

Why aren’t the protesters outside Hamas’s offices, demanding they accept the deal?  Why aren’t they rallying against the terrorist group that’s blocking peace?  Because it was never really about peace.  It was about blaming Israel.

Hamas survives by saying, “Yes, but.”  It always has.  It feeds on delay, on endless negotiation, on bloodshed dragged out just long enough to buy itself another news cycle.  Meanwhile, innocent families — Israeli and Palestinian alike — suffer while the “resistance” leaders hide in tunnels and play politics with people’s lives.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to the UN General Assembly was partly performance, but mostly profound.

The performance part included a QR code on his lapel which delegates were invited to zoom in with their camera phones and see atrocities committed by Hamas that are too gruesome for TV networks to show. He also arranged for his statement that Israel has not forgotten the hostages to be blasted over loudspeakers set up in Gaza for that purpose.

The profound part included repetition of what he has said before with some twists. Netanyahu reminded the delegates that Israel’s battle against terrorism is not limited to the region, but that the terrorists want to return the entire world to the “Dark Ages.”

A few excerpts from his speech:

“Iran’s aggression, if not checked, will endanger every single country in the Middle East, and many, many countries in the rest of the world, because Iran seeks to impose its radicalism well beyond the Middle East.”

“Hamas steals the (humanitarian aid) and then they hike the prices … and that’s how they stay in power.”

“Israel must also defeat Hezbollah in Lebanon. … It has tentacles that span all continents. It has murdered more Americans and more Frenchmen than any group since Bin Laden. It’s murdered the citizens of many countries represented in this room. And it has attacked Israel viciously over the last 20 years.”

“For 18 years, Hezbollah brazenly refused to implement UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which requires it to move its forces away from our borders. Instead, Hezbollah moved right up to our border. They secretly dug terror tunnels to infiltrate our communities and indiscriminately fired thousands of rockets into our towns and villages.”

“In this battle between good and evil, there must be no equivocation. When you stand with Israel, you stand for your own values and your own interests.”

“We see this moral confusion (about which side is good and which side is evil) when Israel is falsely accused of genocide when we defend ourselves against enemies who try to commit genocide against us. We see this too when Israel is absurdly accused by the ICC Prosecutor of deliberately starving Palestinians in Gaza.”

ABC News coverage of Abbas’s Sept. 25 U.N. address drew criticism for calling him a world leader while he remains in office well past his elected term and faces allegations of failing to uphold Oslo commitments.

Mahmoud Abbas was elected to a single four-year term as chairman of the Palestinian Authority well over 20 years ago. Several journalists at ABC News, in their reports on Abbas’s speech (given via video to the UN General Assembly on September 25), referred to him as a “world leader” and otherwise skewed their coverage of the man who has been chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) since Yasser Arafat died in 2004.

This is significant, since the official emblem of Abbas’s PLO still features a map of “Palestine” that leaves no room for any State of Israel—”from the river to the sea.”

When Abbas looks around him, he must be astonished at how news outlets and the international community have acquiesced to his brutal dictatorship and unwillingness to hold elections.

Here are some direct quotes from the ABC News staffers:

Shannon Kingston breathlessly reported that it was “remarkable to see Abbas … say that… he would work with him (Trump) and that’s because the two leaders have a lot of bad blood in the past.” It is disturbing that Kingston would draw any such comparison between an elected U.S. president and the leader of the murderous PLO.

Kyra Phillips (no relation) called Abbas the “leader of the war-torn region.” What’s worse, she said, “(Abbas) also called for the release of all hostages on both sides.” Israel does not hold any hostages; it has prisoners and detainees.

Surprise! That Sumud “relief” flotilla crossing the Mediterranean to the Gaza Strip is actually a Hamas operation, according to secret documents just uncovered by Israeli forces operating in Gaza.

As I reported earlier this month, Greta’s Gaza blockade-buster flotilla is perhaps the largest effort of its kind. The most recent reports indicate that the flotilla consists of more than 50 vessels from 44 countries. Its sponsors include the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, Global Movement to Gaza, Maghreb Sumud Flotilla, and Sumud Nusantara.

Ostensibly, the flotilla is supposed to make its way to Gaza City, where it will provide relief, end the war, and allow everybody to live happily ever after.

In reality, Sumud’s mission is far more sinister — an attempt at Hamas “enlarging” its way out of a deadly impasse. I’ve read it all so that you don’t have to, but you do need to take a quick look at the evidence.

OSINT investigator Eitan Fischberger has all the boring details on X, including copies of the original documents and their English translations. But the quick and dirty version is that Greta & Co. are nothing more than the Western face of “Hamas Abroad,” as Fischberger described Hamas’s overseas branches, which run the flotilla “through the PCPA [Palestinian Conference for Palestinians Abroad].”

“A second document lists flotilla operatives, including Zaher Birawi (UK), longtime flotilla leader, and Saif Abu Kashk (Spain),” Fischberger continued. And how about that, Hamas bigwigs openly operating in Britain and Spain? I’ll give you a moment to pretend to pick your jaw up off the floor.

Aside from that, I’ll keep light on the paperwork details because they’re not of much interest to anyone outside the intel community…

…but what they reveal is fascinating.

If we set the Wayback Machine to Oct. 7, 2023, to re-witness the unimaginably cruel Hamas terror invasion of southern Israel — don’t worry, I won’t actually ask you to watch any of that again — it requires no imagination at all to infer what Hamas was up to.

I mean, aside from setting babies on fire, raping women to death, and taking hundreds of hostages. That was all in Hamas’s idea of good fun, I suppose, but the methods were not the goal. The goal was to provoke the kind of murderous response-in-kind from Israel that would isolate the Jewish state completely, even from its allies in America.
