Thank you, timely and very well written. I'm forwarding this to a couple of American friends who asked me at dinner a few days ago if I didn't feel bad at all for the "poor Palestinians".
The Palestinians elected Hamas, just as the Germans elected the Nazi party to run their country. Even today, support for Hamas is somewhere around 70% and growing with every prisoner release.
The Israelis made a strategic blunder in declaring war on Hamas and not the Palestinians.
My big concerns are the complicit part that broadcast TV and social media has played in fomenting antisemitism. In the United States, broadcast channels must operate for the common good. The FCC has the power to not renew the licenses is these stations.
As for social media, the reason why TikTok won't turn over their algorithm is because it implements the CCP's anti-Jew stance.
Forgot to include one more point: Muslims are commanded to lie in order to further their religion according to a doctrine called "Tikiyyah". On the other hand, Jews and Christians have the 10 commandments, one of which is "Thou shall not bear false witness" (i.e., don't lie).
How can the world suck up like air anything coming from a people whose mothers put suicide vests on their teens to kill innocent Israelis? The bigger question is why we Jews, merely to be nice—there again, Rabbi Kahane’s sneering self disdain, ‘nice Irvings’—or Israel, from political pressure, instead did not end this years ago. After Oct 7, I went way back in my own memory of this kind of beastly hideous crap that we have cajoled ourselves around to our own death. General Sharon, blessed memory, who removed Israelis that were building Gaza. Why? Now, and forever, is the time to kill the murderers. Execution was for the cleansing of society in Torah. Instead Israel has been forced to let them go. No more. Trump is saying what is truth. Actually, he’s fibbing about finding a nice spot for the murderers somewhere across Jordan. If Moab doesn’t want them back, they die (Zephaniah 2, again). And Netanyahu knows. We pray for the Bibas babies but . . .
There’s an Israel derangement syndrome that Iike all derangement syndromes is not a function of excess empathy or misplaced empathy but of violently inclined hatred. All wars create shortages. The amount of effort that went into feeding Gaza was extraordinary while extreme malnutrition is still a problem in many parts of the
world. If you go to extraordinary
lengths to avoid any of the consequences of war, you stunt the sense of loss that changes minds. I am not sure what Israel seeks to accomplish. They have terrorists a highly sympathetic population and hamas is not gone the population is being coddled in wartime (im speaking specifically just about war I have eyes I see the rubble)
But how is this going to end any cycle. And the world doesn’t care about the Palestinians who don’t wage war and think this incessant war machine and fascist kleptocracy isn’t a way forward or they at the very least want to live life and not make the eradication of Israel a reason for being. The media is so corrupt it’s not even worth analyzing. It’s a state media and may as well be an arm of the Hamas ministry. I read an interview where a Palestinian complained there’s no variety of food and listed the foods they crave and yes I’m sure this was true but a little perspective. The media could never address 1. Hamas stealing food reselling it at extortionate prices 2. The rampant genocidal violence taught in unrwa schools (if this continues good luck having peace ever) 3. Hamas using their own including the most vulnerable as human shields. 4. The complicity of much of the population (but what do you expect given the schools and the propaganda and life under Hamas- oh antifa do you know what anti fascism means?) 5. Floating a two state solution like it’s never been floated and rejected. Now it would just lead to a full scale war. Since we’ve established resettling refugees in any of the huge spaces of their “brethren” is off limits that Israel can barely annex any areas what would happen following a full scale war? What exactly is Gaza? It’s not a state just because Israel blockades them partially and Egypt wholly (no uproar there) but Hamas is totally in charge and the area received enormous foreign aid to the point where Gaza is richer than alot of super impoverished countries and not poorer than most of their neighbors. So what happens? Hamas pretends they’re country building and build a war machine. They terrorize any dissenters and throw people off roofs (wait for the tweets on Israel throwing people off roofs- I’ve seen it- and I don’t even have the conscience to outline who tweeted it but let’s just say nothing shields one from being evil or a totally deliberate purposeful agent of dishonesty not being clergy not being a PhD. I felt sick when a mother detailed the body weight of one of the hostages found shot dead in the tunnel. NONE of the hostages were treated well but you see degrees of inhumanity and torture. The Red Cross is a vile organization. Obviously one was better off being held captive in a civilian home than in the tunnels. But you hit the nail on the head. Well fed captors delivering skeletons. The media doesn’t care. They reported that the girls were in their IDF uniforms like they didn’t see the girls kidnapped in their pajamas and maybe they should’ve done their homework. I appreciate what you’re doing it’s such important work but you’re trying to deconstruct a mass pathology in a kafkaesque world. You’re trying to follow a logic that people won’t even engage in because one millimeter into it their worldview and assertions shatter so the only recourse is to devise greater lies. I figured no one was starving not just bc of contrarian reports but bc of the amount of food flooding into the area and bc I know if people were starving (and it would only be Hamas fault if they were given the aid delivered) not a day would go by without seeing skeletal Palestinians in the news but it never materialized. I’m happy no one is starving but I’m not happy the war wasn’t finished. I hate humanity I really do for seeing what Israel trades to get hostages back how these deals are “fair.” So even if you suspend disbelief of the moral monstrosity of calling Palestinian murderers hostages that are being traded why can’t people be rational enough to see how lopsided these deals are bc Hamas is grotesque and Israel is moral.
Excellent and insightful. This cry from Palestinians of 'Israelis killing our children' didn't surface until after 2005. Reason being, for 30 years up until that point they'd conducted a virulent suicide bombing campaign against Israel, blowing apart women and children in cafes, shopping malls, hotels and on buses. They couldn't very well complain about their own civilians and children being killed - at least with a straight face - when conducting such an al-out targeting of civilians themselves.
But seeing the horror this bombing campaign then sparked in the west then led to their own 'they're killing our children' cries. A recent survey has found that the recent stats from the current Gaza war, the figures for women and children killed has been more than doubled. Combined they come to 37% of the total, leaving 63% of adult males - 70% - 75% of which have been Hamas militants..
We must remind ourselves there is still only one group that targets almost exclusively civilians, and that's Hamas and other Jihadic groups.
Bravo Joshua !!!......your interesting article describes with immense clarity what is going on for almost 80 years between Israel and the " Palestinians " .......thank you so much.....How it's possible that educated people believe ALL their lies.???
Don’t forget the other lies. That Israel killed the Nova participants with Apache helicopters and in the kibbutzim by the ‘Hannibal directive’. Clear moral inversion and blame shifting.
Unfortunately trump’s plan to rid the Gaza Strip of hostile Arabs, which I fully support, does give some credibility to the anti Israel “ ethnic cleaning “ accusation. It’s essential for the world to hear that these consequences for the Arabs, who ethnically cleansed their world of Jews, are getting the same treatment to which they and their supporters subjected their Jewish population. No apologies.
Ethnic cleansing speaks to killing the Palestinians. The only solution is the forcible removal of them from the West Bank and Gaza and those lands becoming permanent parts of Israel.
Absolutely trust in the Lord, always, and trust in the weapons, armaments, tactics, strategies, intelligence, resiliance, and determination the Lord has provided for Israel and Jews in general.
"somehow, every released hostage looks like a skeleton while their captors appear well-fed."
You noticed that little paradox too, eh?
" their forced displacement in 1948 becomes a “Nakba” (ignoring their leadership’s rejection of partition and insistence on war)"
Point of correction: The "Palestinian" leadership never rejected partition, insisted on war, or engaged in any military hostilities against Israel. They didn't for the simple reason Palestine and Palestinians never existed as a distinct entity until 1964, when it was invented by Arafat (the Egyptian) & Co. The leadership that rejected Israel were all the Arab states, including the five which unilaterally attacked the day after Israel declared its statehood.
" the Land of Israel (later renamed “Palestine” by the Romans)."
The Romans did not rename the Kingdom of Judea, Palestine. They renamed it Syria-Palaestina. A big political difference the Syrians and Jordanians might want to consider. Actually, it probably explains why they won't accept any of them. Who wants to take in a violent population hellbent on overthrowing your government and turning it into a Jihadi state?
"Lying is not just a political necessity; it has become a cultural norm in Palestinian discourse. "
Another factual oopsie. Lying is religiously mandated if it furthers the religion and puts more land firmly under Muslim control. The name of this religious principle is Taqiyyah.
Gaza now has to be reduced to glass, since its complete destruction and the elimination of Hamas and any hope of a state will finally teach the Palestinians that there is no future in the status quo.
What I find infuriating is that the lies are so obvious but the world purposely chooses to believe them. Truly antisemitism makes people both blind and stupid
The only real question is why do the “progressives”, the liberals, the educated fall for these false notions?
I have no answer to this one. I have had very close friends who have fallen into this trap. They won’t even talk to me about it anymore and of course I won’t waste my energy anymore fighting false flags and the ignorance that fans flames.

The only famine is that Palestinians don't get to spill as much Jewish blood as they would like to!
