It’s the “old double standard” at work. So many Americans have full faith in Israel and it’s right to survive. Israel has to finish the mission, hopefully save some of the hostages and then show the world what Hamas and their supporters are all about. I’m afraid when the answer finally comes out, “they hate Jews and want them annihilated,” the world will go on like nothing happened…
Free Palestinians from Gaza. Send them to the West Bank, the Mediterranean or to god. This is the most they deserve after supporting Hamas actions on October 7.
1) Don't forget to include D. Trump in the list of greedy politicians -- he's the master; 2) I hope I'm dead wrong, but I wonder whether the hostages are still with us. It's something Hamas would not want us to know. If that were true, there is no reason not to demolish the place (including UNWRA facilities) once and for all. Put the citizenry on floats or corral them in temporary shelters and just do it; 3) As for Ramadan, shout out to George Washington's surprise December 25 raid on the Hessians. Part of the problem is that the U.S. seems to have recently lost its b*lls. Is Israel supposed to go for Miss Congeniality while fighting a war? 4) Regarding increasing the aid, I have no problem with that as long as there are ample checks of every single package that goes in. How the deuce did enough tools and supplies get into Gaza to build tunnels and construct missiles, not to mention all manner of weapons. That's the never again I'm interested in.
While one feels for the hostages and their families, what country would exchange forty hostages for 800 murderers? That's what Hamas is proposing.
Did the United States stop its push towards Tokyo to bargain back the nurses trapped on Corregidor? Did any of the Allies pause because their soldiers were in Nazi prisoner-of-war camps?
Did the Greek mother who crawled on her belly to the ikonostasis every Sunday at Mom's church here in Brooklyn to pray for her son, imprisoned in an Axis hellhole during WWII, petition the country to get him out?
The hostages are probably dead. Already Israel knows of many who have died.
Get on with it. Hamas is a manifestation of the worst elements of Islam. Dare I say of Islam?
After all, on the first day of Ramadan, Hezbollah lobbed a hundred missiles into northern Israel.
Very well put. As a Canadian it leaves me speechless that " aid" meaning money is being once again sent to UNRWA. Why not just say we are resuming funding to Hamas
Joshua, this article was so spot on, I could feel my blood pressure rising. Everything you stated is exactly what the imbecilic leaders who lead with arrogance are doing daily. I have a response to each one which I will save to remind myself of the reality, and not the fantasies of these vote chasers. I do believe the money that has been spread around in large quantities is also responsible for the absolute avoidance of what is really going on. On an aside, have you heard any leaders talk about Hezbollah also sending rockets into Israel, just Tel Aviv recently, on a daily basis? (Thank goodness for the Iron Dome) We know the answer to that one. Again, the astuteness of your writing is so appreciated in a time when we have Hamas PR shills coming at us from all directions.
I learnt this morning - the origin of the red hand imagery on these pins.... And I am going to trust that the people wearing them were doing so with naïveté
Sure . The Hollywood elite who supported Harvey Weinstein sexually abusing pretty much every woman in his path and who celebrated Jeffrey Epstein, a human trafficking and child trafficking piece of filth were only supporting Hamas terrorism out of ignorance and not because they are legitimately evil. They supported Covid lockdowns which killed people and the economy and they supported mandatory vaccines that have killed and disabled millions because of ignorance and not evil. They supported Jussie Smollet and rioting in 2020 because they are ignorant and not evil. If you believe that then you should probably take a long walk off the short pier that President Biden wants to build in Gaza because nothing these people will do will ever be sufficient proof of evil.
We've had every COVID vaccination that's come out and I'm one of the only people I know who hasn't gotten COVID (we are 68 years old). The vaccinations have been easy to get, and we've had no side effects. Having said that, I agree it's not ignorance, but "evil" is a tough one -- I consider them barbarians. If they don't want to play nice, they don't get to play. Period.
My cousin survived ten years of meth use too, doesn’t mean meth doesn’t kill a lot of people and isn’t a good idea. Just because you have yet to see the side effects of the vaccines doesn’t mean they haven’t killed and disabled millions and doesn’t mean they won’t kill or disable you in the near or distant future.
Brilliantly stated. Thank you.

Somehow I can’t find my way back to B’s comment but I have to say - you’re right.

We aren’t just surviving; we’re thriving.

Well said. It is astonishing how they get away with their lies. Everything is one sided. It makes my blood boil!

You nailed it Joshua. Dumb actors though 🐑.
It's 1939 all over again, and it makes me physically sick! Facts do not matter.
Well said, Joshua. It’s enough to make you want to spit, to quote my Appalachian ancestors.

I don’t think I saw it. Which essay did you comment on?
