On Oct 7, 2023, thousands of Muslim Jihadis swept from Gaza into Israel, killing, torturing, raping and kidnapping anyone in their path. The victims included not only Israelis or Jews, but Americans and Europeans, Christians and Buddhists, as well as those Bedouins whom the Hamas, PLO and Islamic Jihad attackers did not consider Muslims.
Their rationale was not a “Palestinian” cause or any of the later war propaganda myths about an “open air prison”, but an Islamic religious imperative to drive out infidels. That’s why they named their genocidal campaign, ‘Al-Aqsa Flood’ after their occupation mosque planted in Jerusalem that they hoped to reclaim when they had killed or enslaved all the infidels in Israel.
In their earliest statements when they thought they were winning, Hamas leaders emphasized their religious agenda, of seizing the Al Aqsa Mosque and driving out the infidels, not a ‘Palestinian’ cause or the partial Israeli embargo on its limited border with Gaza.
That was the only ‘genocide’ that occured in the last two years. It just isn’t being called one.
The Oct 7 genocide had nothing to do with any ‘national liberation’ for some imaginary ‘Palestinian’ people. It followed over a thousand years of Islamic invasions, mass slaughters, slavery and mass rape across the region. The Jews, once a conquered people, had been the ones to rebel against Islamic rule in Israel through groups such as NILI (Netzach Israel Lo Yishaker – The Eternal One of Israel Does Not Lie) and fight for freedom from Islamic rule.
Muslim Jihads against Jews began shortly afterward. The wars against Israel by Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Muslim countries from as far away as Iraq, Iran and Yemen were not about an imaginary ‘Palestinian’ nationality at a time when Gaza, Judea and Samaria were occupied by Arab Muslim nations, but about the religious and tribal genocide aimed at any ‘Other’ group.
No one in the international community who spreads the lie that Israel’s self-defense is ‘genocide’ has dared to apply that label to the Turkish Islamic campaign against the Kurds, the Syrian Arab Islamic massacre of the Druze or any of the other numerous ongoing Islamic tribal ethnic cleansing campaigns that have made the region what it is. When Muslims claim that they’re the ‘indigenous’ people, it’s because they massacred and enslaved everyone else.
Including the Jews.
Even when ISIS openly declared that it was enslaving and killing the Yazidi people in line with the teachings of Islam, the same voices slurring ‘Zionism’ as genocidal, loudly declared that the Islamic scholars of the Islamic State were completely wrong about Islam. But what ISIS was doing is exactly what was done to the Druze, the Kurds, the Armenians, the Christians of the region, along with numerous other minorities, and the Jews. Jihad is Arabic for genocide.
Since Oct 7, the only tool in the Jihad propaganda playbook has been moral inversion.
Hamas accuses Israel of killing children and then parades the coffins of murdered Jewish children about. It claims genocide, cries famine and cruelty, and demands a ceasefire, even as its leaders promise that once they’re ready, they’ll finish the job and wipe out the Jews.
This discourse is whitewashed and laundered by the media which attributes Hamas war propaganda to “Gaza officials”, “health officials”, “journalists”, “rescue workers”, “police” and anyone else tasked by Hamas with serving as an interface between it and the outside world.
Politicians unthinkingly parrot Hamas lies, including its ceaseless campaign to reclaim control over food aid coming into Gaza by spreading the myth that Israel keeps killing civilians at Gaza Humanitarian Foundation food distribution sites, and the media builds them into towering narratives, propping up the moral inversion of genocide to cover the actual Islamic genocide.
Every accusation coming out of the Jihad propaganda machine is really a confession.
And if there were any doubts that Hamas rhetoric about wiping out Israel and its Jewish population is sincere, the Muslim Brotherhood terror group got a chance to show it on Oct 7. Apologists for Islamic terrorism previously argued that the terrorists acted out of “desperation”, that they had no choice but to set off suicide bombs on buses and pizzerias, but there was no desperation in the massacres that occured when the Jihadis found a civilian population at their mercy. They murdered women, children and the elderly, they beheaded foreign workers, and in their glee, they engaged in brutal atrocities that undermined the larger aims of their campaign.
Lazy journalists might be tempted to call them “senseless”, but that’s because they don’t understand Islam. When the Jihadis chant “Allahu Akbar” while killing non-Muslims, they are engaged in a transcendent religious experience that allows them to feel that they are bringing the power of the murderous deity they worship into this world by defeating non-Muslims. And when they chant “Khaybar Ya Yahood” or “Remember Khaybar, O Jews”, a common event at anti-Israel rallies, they are connecting Mohammed’s ancient ethnic cleansing of the Jews of Arabia to their planned ethnic cleansing of the Jews of Israel and of the world in the present.
The Jihad is genocidal. But that’s because the worship of Islam is fundamentally genocide.
Unlike other religions, the primary mission of Islam is to enforce the will of Allah by destroying the power of all other religions and cultures, subjugating them to the will of an Islamic master race, enforced civilly by the codes of Sharia religious law and militarily through Jihad. Muslim Brotherhood front groups use moral inversion to denounce such statements of the historical and present day beliefs of Islam as ‘Islamophobia’ or hateful conspiracy theories, but they can be seen in the entire history of Islam, in the present day actions of Muslim nations and in the future plans of Islamic movements to spread across the rest of the world and subjugate all of it.
Muslims are currently in a state of religious war with not only Jews or even Christians, but also with Hindus in India and Buddhists in Burma. When a single ideology representing a quarter of humanity has been in a state of endless war with the religions representing at least another 60% of the planet, it’s pretty clear who has the problem here. And it’s not the Christians, Jews, Hindus and Buddhists being bombed, beheaded, stabbed and shot at all around the world.
Israel, America, Russia, China and the rest of the world aren’t saints, but there’s a reason that Muslims typically enjoy more rights in non-Muslim countries than non-Muslims do in Muslim countries like Pakistan, Saudi Arabia or Iran. There’s also a reason why many Muslims move to non-Muslim countries while few non-Muslims move to Muslim ones. The hate is mostly one way.
Muslim propagandists pretend that like the Arab Muslim Jihad against Israel, branded a ‘special case’ of a ‘Palestinian’ minority fighting against the Jews, all their Jihads are special cases. When Muslims massacre Hindu tourists, it’s because they’re fighting for Kashmir, when they randomly stab people in Europe, it’s because their ‘asylum seekers’ are denied citizenship, and when they bomb churches in Nigeria, it’s because the government insists on fighting terrorism.
There’s always an excuse that positions Muslims as victims and a minority group, a ‘special case’ of a persecuted people desperately rising up in self-defense, but that big lie, a lie so big that Goebbels would quail at it, falls apart the moment you look at how Muslim countries treat non-Muslims, at the way that they ally together to attack non-Muslims outside their borders, and at the mission statement of Islamic terrorists to gather the ‘Ummah’, the collective Muslims of the world, to unite under a ‘Caliphate’ to rule the world. This isn’t victimhood. It’s genocide.
No one dares call Jihad ‘genocide’. Instead the ‘genocide’ label is most often applied to those courageous nations that, alone and isolated, resist the genocidal Islamic Jihad against them.
Israel is one of them.
The Jihad propaganda machine claims that its genocide is ‘resistance’ and that resistance to its genocide is genocide. The truth is as always the opposite. Resisting Islamic genocide is the best defense against genocide. The entire Oct 7 war was set off by an Islamic genocide plot. The closer Israel comes to destroying the genocidal Jihadis, the more they and their useful idiots across the world, shout “genocide”, and traffic in the most outlandish lies and smears to save the Jihadis so that they can launch an actual genocide against the people of Israel.
A few million Jews in Israel have stood off the genocidal campaign of the 400 million Muslim majority of the region in a miraculous and heroic campaign of resistance against utter evil. They won every war, but lost every argument, and the monsters who came to wipe out every last man, woman and child in Israel shout that they are the real victims of genocide, they brandish papers full of fake numbers, they tweet AI atrocity photos and put on makeup for the cameras.
But if anyone wants to see a real genocide, look at the Middle East, a region that was once rich in religious diversity where 91% of the population is now Muslim. How did that happen? Was the prospect of being able to take four wives, marry girls as young as seven years old and bask in virgins with eternally regenerating hymens in paradise so appealing that everyone converted?
History tells us a very different and much uglier story that is still going on to this very day. It’s a story written in bombed churches, captured girls and streams of refugees fleeing the region.
But where everyone else fled or submitted, the Jews of Israel are still resisting the Jihad. They’re not committing genocide. They’re resisting the Islamic genocide that overran the region.
Jihad is genocide. Fighting Jihad is not genocide. It’s resistance.
Excellent coverage and analysis. Historically, Islam has ruined the great ancient cultures that existed in areas Islam has taken over.
Stupid people keep conflating Israeli restraint with muslim incompetence.
If Israel wanted to commit “genocide” in Gaza they would have just lined up their artillery park inside Israel along the long boundary and then shelled and bombed the place into gravel.
That’s what the muslims would do to Israel if given half a chance, but every time they’ve attempted to commit genocide against the Jews their own incompetence has seen them get their arses handed to them.
How many chances are they supposed to get?
Is it going to be the usual leftard tactic of keeping on going back to the same turd until they get the result they want?
Excellent post.
What’s jaw-dropping is the willful ignorance among chickenshit leftists toward what happened on Oct 7th.
Greta Thunberg and all the shitheads in her “floatilla” refused to subject themselves to 45 minutes of cold, hard reality.
(Someone tell these idiots that it takes more than one boat to form a floatilla. Guess her sail-power-only days are over.)
The media are maggots, have always been maggots, and will always be maggots. This is same way they behaved towards our soldiers during the Vietnam War.
Stiff competition for the stupidest reporter during (and after) Vietnam, but my money is on Peter Arnett.
He’s the lying shithead that misquoted an officer.
The famed phrase “We had to destroy a village to save it.” wasn’t said by that officer, as he vehemently denied it. But, by then the phrase became canonized in news legend.
Arnett went on to fall for obvious, laughable hoaxes (rather than manufacturing them, himself).
¹ He fell hook, line & sinker for “Baby Milk Factory” printed on Iraqi shirts after their munitions plant had been hit. The fact that it was printed in English should’ve tipped him off, but the balding, circus clown was too desperate to malign the 1st Gulf War effort.
² He later fell for the pure bullshit “Operation Tailwind” hoax story. No, we didn’t use poison gas on U.S. Army defectors in Vietnam.
At least that was his final act of incompetent journalism, because not even CNN could choke that bullshit down. (The story unraveled at a lightning pace resulting in Arnett getting fired.)
Everything you write in this article (and have been writing here for almost 20 yrs) about Islam is correct, and of course this is the only thing behind what the Moslems do.
Nonetheless, something is very wrong with this whole war and the way it is being conducted. To begin with, the whole idea that the massacre of Oct 7, 2023 was the result of a vast collection of mistakes, negligence and lack of preparedness borders on complete absurdity. The Israeli defense forces are supposed to be among the most highly trained, skilled and technologically advanced in the world and yet a few thousand men in trucks were able to do as they pleased for almost a full day without being crushed by the helicopters, planes and tanks of the IDF.
The truth is that this story goes way back before 2023. How was it that Hamas was able to turn the Gaza area into the biggest open-air military fortress in the world over a period of decades? Was this again just phenomenal ‘negligence’?
It’s now almost two years that the fighting has been going on. I remember shortly after the attack on Oct 7, that the Defense Minister said “We may have to go into Gaza for as long as a few months.” People then considered that to be a long time; no one was dreaming of years. There have been thousands of Israeli casualties and it is still not clear what has been achieved, other than the near total destruction of Israel’s public image in the world. With all due respect to writers like you, no one is listening other than those who don’t need to be convinced.
I’m not ready to jump to believing the wildest conspiracy stories, but there are many more questions than I have mentioned, and the answers are less than satisfying.
I’m not claiming to have answers
10-7-2023 and 9-11-2001 happened because of complacency of not sharing intel between agencies – DOGE hopefully will root out a chance that another 9-11 can happen in USA. Israel must become under complete surveillance for the safety of it’s citizens – and then cry loss of freedoms through loss of privacy – Israel’s public image is being sullied by the tsunami of antisemitism that has become fashionable, vogue and hip post 10-7-2023. I’m guessing antisemitism seethes in people who will claim they are not racist. Worst, if Christian who claim they are saved by Jesus, but they hate Jews and Israel, they are also saying they hate Lord Jesus Christ because he was/is Hebrew who practiced the Jewish religion.
Remember that BLM Inc is a grift run by low-life trash.
As such they couldn’t resist enthusiastically putting a pro Hamas para-glider in their icon label.
(They’re also cowards, and quickly removed it.)
Interesting considering that one of the leaders of blm is a dike, who would be tossed from a roof in gaza.. A low-life ghetto grifter and a useful idiot.
The left spent a long time infiltrating the IDF and shaping its doctrine.
The generals in Israel, like government ministers, have been limited by the Supreme Court for over thirty years. That includes methods of protecting the border.
The Israelis were caught by surprise with the Yom Kippur War. They were caught by surprise again on Oct 7. The enemy had studied Israeli tactics, exploited holes and weak points effectively.
This is how surprise attacks in war tend to begin.
The Tet offensive was a likely inspiration for the Hamas attack.
Didn’t muslims working previously in Israeli areas document information i.e. spy to provide addresses, occupants, topography, etc?
Spot on Mr. Greenfield, & it’s only getting worse, because of weak kneed liberals in the west.
My comment that I just posted has an extra line at the end and I don’t see any way to edit it.
Abraham’s sin?
Genesis 16:12 He will be a wild donkey of a man;
his hand will be against everyone
and everyone’s hand against him,
and he will live in hostility
toward[a] all his brothers.
The subtlety of the ancient scriptures are totally profound. But what can we humans do about the violence today?
How can we change the minds therefor course if izzlym youth from this satanic jihad course when the main stream media and social media is rife with antisemitism that has become fashionable, vogue and hip since October 7, 2023?
Since YHVH GOD of the Bible cursed the seed of Abraham with Hagar. Seems YHVH should provide Israel with victory and final victory against her enemies of jihad. Saber rattle all you want, when you spill blood, now you have broken on of the 10 Commandments – This is what we need to ask YHVH and do so in the Name of His Son, Yeshua Messiah, Lord Jesus Christ — all while we are concurrently using high tech military and spying to MOSSAD’s awesome stealth to bombs away.
Israel will not back down and nor should any Hebrew/Jew.
That’s a good line from the scriptures about the wild donkeys. They surrounded the civilized areas, requiring the civilized/agricultural areas to have strong armed forces to survive.
99.9999% of wokelings and leftards (that includes antisemites of Jewish descent such as Bernie, Norman Finkelstein, Noam Chomsky, Chuck Schumer and Doug Emhoff) KNOW that Hamas (and Hezbollah, Fatah and the Houthis) are genocidal in their intentions toward Jews. They acquiesce because its considered “chic”, “daring” and au courant by the chattering classes in academia and the arts. That foreknowledge makes them all the more despicable. The other .0001% consists of people even more stupid than Joe Biden, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Auntie Maxine or Hank Johnson.
Brillant analysis thank you. The 7th October massacre reveals what was hidden for decades when you live in Europe with not a single class on Islam, neither on the UN, or the gigantesque commodities market in Geneva, which is totally weird. But there are class for teachers to improve communication where Goebbels as Hitler were quoted…And recently the former first Jewish president of Switzerland who is still saying that there is a famine in Gaza, while living in the supposedly international city has never even talked about the billions stolen from humanitarian aids to built tunnels only for killing Jews.
“The Jihad Against Israel is Genocide,” which is why the Democrats and leftist around the world support it.
Dan has just established himself as one of the greatest essayists of all times.
Read the Qur’an and you will learn that Islam requires the DEATH of non-believers. If the non-believer is female, RAPE after RAPE after RAPE will be their REWARD. EVIDENCE PROVES THAT’S WHAT THEY DO!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Since Hamas [and PIJ ‘dead baby strategy’ using civilians to cause fatalities and preventing US/Israel aid from reaching Gazans] kills its people [including via some UN Hamas linked agents], add it to Islamic genocide Goliath post WW2.
