Many people are seeing the war between Israel and Hamas as an apocalyptic showdown between good and evil, and there is good reason to see it that way. And as has so often been the case, Donald Trump enunciated what many others were thinking but didn’t dare to say.
Trump: “The fight between Israel and Hamas is between civilization and savagery, between good and evil. There is no comparison between a group that worships death and a group that cherishes life.

Trump said Saturday: “The fight between Israel and Hamas is between civilization and savagery, between good and evil. There is no comparison between a group that worships death and a group that cherishes life. Every single life lost in this conflict is on the shoulders of Hamas, Hamas alone.”
He had abundant reason to make this assessment. The UK Express reported Monday that among the footage that Israel recently released of the Hamas jihad massacres of October 7, there is an audio file of “a Hamas terrorist ringing his mother with one of his victim’s phones, saying: ‘I killed 10 Jews with my own hands. I’m using the dead Jewish woman’s phone to call you now.’” The proud mother responds: “May Allah protect you.”
Now, imagine for a moment that you were the mother or father of a young man who had murdered ten people. What kind of person would your son be if he not only committed these murders, but called you to boast about them? What kind of person would you be if you were proud papa or mama in that situation? What could possibly account for this mindset? And how could anyone think that these savages (because that is what they are) have the moral high ground? Yet it is clear now that all too many people in the West assume that they do. Few understand how deep this love of death really goes.
The young mass murderer was not singular. He was proud because he has been taught to love death. Back in April 2020, a Syrian opposition journalist, Khatib Badla, explained that Muslim Arabs “have a trait that distinguishes us from all the other peoples of the world, which is a love of death. We dream of it, regard it as a source of inspiration and think about it every day. We love death and love the dead. Instead of hoping for longevity, for [a life of] giving and loving, we say, with defeatism… ‘God, [help me] go to battle and reach my grave. This is in addition to the grand slogans we [like to chant], such as: ‘death to America,’ ‘better death than humiliation’ and ‘seek death and you shall be given life [in the next world].’”
In line with this, Islamic jihadis generally tend to idolize murder and love death. As police were closing in on him, Boston Marathon jihad murderer Dzhokhar Tsarnaev wrote on the wall of the pleasure boat in which he was hiding: “You are fighting men who look into the barrel of your gun and see heaven.” In a similar vein, Muslim teenage girls from Austria who traveled to Syria for jihad announced: “Death is our goal.” Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau said: “I’m even longing for death, you vagabond.” In 2021, as his enemies closed in on him, Shekau treated himself to the object of his longing.
A Muslim child preacher back in 2012 taunted those he has been taught to hate most: “Oh Zionists, we love death for the sake of Allah, just as much as you love life for the sake of Satan.” In France that same year, jihad mass murderer Mohamed Merah, who murdered little children inside a Jewish school, said that he “loved death more than they loved life.”
Some guidance for the ladies on this issue came from al-Qaeda top dog Ayman al-Zawahiri’s wife, who once advised Muslim women: “I advise you to raise your children in the cult of jihad and martyrdom and to instil in them a love for religion and death.”
One jihadist summed it up: “We love death. You love your life!” Afghan jihadist Maulana Inyadullah years ago said the same, while demonstrating a gift for a memorable phrase: “The Americans love Pepsi-Cola, we love death.”
This idea is not the strange opinion of a gang of “extremists.” It comes from the Qur’an itself: “Say, O you who are Jews, if you claim that you are favored of Allah apart from mankind, then long for death if you are truthful.” (62:6)
Trump is right. And precisely because of their savagery, Hamas and its allies can never win in the long run: loving death is not natural. Loving life is. The young man who happily called home to boast to his mother about having murdered Jews has as his unwitting opponents the multitudes of people, Jews and non-Jews, in the West who are thrilled when they can save a life, not destroy one. When the lovers of life face off against the lovers of death, they have multitudes of silent allies: every living being stands as a rebuke to those whose only love is carnage and destruction, simply by virtue of having life. When the lovers of death have wreaked their destruction and have been brought to heel, the lovers of life will, as always, rebuild again.
And then when this person leaves this earth they will face the God of creation and salvation where they will be judged and spend eternity in exile to life and the goodness of God.
Andre,
You’re speaking of separation from God; the biggest deal.
As usual Islam is the problem. what is taught is evil.
The islamic terrorists do not care for any lives at all.
When HAMAS formed…
was it not exactly when the OSLO Accords were being signed?
And how was HAMAS initially funded…???
” . . . former Israeli officials such as Brig. Gen. Yitzhak Segev, who was the Israeli military governor in Gaza in the early 1980s. Segev later told a New York Times reporter that he had helped finance the Palestinian Islamist movement as a “counterweight” to . . . the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Fatah party,”
Please stop funding Mohammedans…. I know Israel gets BILLIONS of DOLLARS ‘to fight’ and so NEEDS ENEMIES… but this is going overboard… Islam is MASSIVE and you are making them BIGGER.
“Hamas and its allies can never win in the long run: loving death is not natural. Loving life is.”
What utter nonsense, and this is coming from a Christian, who supposedly believes in the doctrine of Original Sin. The doctrine which claims that man is born evil and depraved and in need of Divine Salvation.
If the Christian doctrine of Original Sin is true then it is natural for man to love evil, destruction, and death.
But, in fact, the Christian doctrine of Original Sin is mystical, supernatural, irrational, nonsense. Man is born innocent and ignorant of good and evil. Man is born ignorant of all knowledge. Man is born Tabula Rasa. Every good and every evil has to be discovered by man and identified by man good or evil.
Even the love of life has to be discovered by man. Even that he is alive, and what life is, and what values life requires to be sustained, and the nature of achieving a human life, and human stature, has to be discovered by man, and chosen by man.
Reason is not automatic and therefore progress is not automatic. Which means that history is not predetermined. Which means that the love of life is not automatic. The brutality and darkness of Ancient Egypt lasted 3,000 years. The brutality and darkness of the Christian Dark and Middle Ages lasted 1,000 years. And even after the Christian Dark and Middle Ages were over there were 300 more years of intra- Christian war, persecution, and brutality. Catholic killing Protestant, and Protestant killing Protestant.
The love of reason, the love of rationality, fidelity to reason, which means the love of life, a human life, is never automatic. It is always a choice of free will. The love of life can always be lost just as a republic of freedom, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness can always be lost.
“Amazingly, Edgerton points out, Tasmanians could not take advantage of the ocean surrounding their island, because although they once learned how to fish, they forgot or gave up the practice. Thus many Tasmanians perished of starvation despite the availability of a plentiful food source all around them.” – Dinesh D’souza
And, of course, only you and your ill ilk, are the true guardians of “reason”
Once more, if I may:
“Daniel Greenfield says
September 29, 2023 at 9:14 pm
The idea that you and your particular belief system, for which you are an absolutely terrible representative, represent ‘reason’, is as much of a fallacy as the idea that Fauci represents science.
You are only as good as your arguments.”
In other words. he thinks your longwinded arguments suck.
“A fool does not delight in understanding, but only wants to show off his opinions.” -Proverbs 18-2
‘Tis better to keep one’s mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and confirm it……fool.
The only death lover on this board is you, by the way.
Thank God man is born Tabula Rasa and there aren’t enough freaks around to teach him the evils of Objectivism
If you’re going to criticize Christian doctrine, you could at least try to understand it.
Proverbs 10:6. Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
The memory of the righteous is a blessing, but the name of the wicked will rot.
The wise of heart receive commandments, but a babbling fool will come to ruin.
Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found.
So True, and look at the ways that many have followed. You may not like President Trump, but he has been telling people the truth, especially on barbarism.
Globalist “wokesters” have progressed to murdering Jews again. Next thing you know, they’ll be back to lynching Negroes. But, to their credit, the Democ-rat “wokesters” are well on their way to eliminating single use plastic grocery bags. Tired of living? Vote Democ-rat. .
Islamophobia is the ”irrational fear of Muslims’ What is the dictionary definition for a RATIONAL fear of Muslims?
The ability to understand reality.
“Every single life lost in this conflict is on the shoulders of Hamas, Hamas alone.” Truer words were never spoken. Yet, Trump is our only political leader to have pointed out this obvious truth. A sad commentary on the idiocy and lack of moral clarity and courage of our political (and intellectual) class.
Trump is NOT the only political leader to have pointed out this obvious truth. That’s just not factual.
All those who support Hamas or any of the rest of the terrorists should be sent t o prison for life
So why are there hospitals in Gaza?
Oh, I get it.
They only ‘love death’ while in the fight against us infidels, otherwise just send in the doctors!
Except Israel isn’t any better than the Arabs they fight. They just had their own woman and children massacre and don’t seem very worried about it.
OK. If Hamas and its’ allies (which is a includes a very considerable number of those living in Gaza) love death then would it not be a good thing for Israel to wipe out all of Gaza and thus giving them what they love which is death. Gazans die and Israel eliminates a problem. Seems like a win win scenario!
hebrews ch. 9 v27 . ” and inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgement .” james ch. 3 v 6 ” and the tongue is set among our members as that which defiles the entire body and sets on fire the course of our life and is set on fire by hell ” . 1 kings ch. 9 v 7 ” then i will cut off, israel from the land which i have given them and the house i have consecrated for my name , i will cast out of my sight. so israel will become a proverb and a byword among all peoples . ” when israel neglected to honor GOD as his chosen people they were punished . since the crucifixion of CHRIST their messiah and in turn gentiles they have become a byword . the romans and the jewish leaders murdered CHRIST , since then the history if the world has been one long bloodbath as satan has occupied the hearts and minds of everyone . if you reject the gospel message hell awaits . for muslims death awaits them with open arms , GOD merely gives them what they love . if GOD disciplines his chosen people what awaits the remainder of the population ? until the jewish nation embraces the MESSIAH the jewish people will be continually on the verge of annihilation . the book of revelation states that 3/4 of the worlds population will be killed during the great tribulation , ill let you do the sums . time to repent while you can still draw breath .
God must be rather confused these days wondering which side he should lay a bet on for survival.
If God ever existed methinks he has already left the Planet scratching his head wondering where he went wrong … this time around..
If muslims believe God created them for life then why do they embrace death so much…
Thats a mental case and that’s why we often hear of the radical muslim having mental problems..
God commanded Israel (and all of humanity) though Moses to choose life in Deuteronomy 30:15-20. Clearly Islam teaches the opposite when it encourages its followers to love death as much as we should cherish life. This is tantamount to invoking a self-imposing curse.
President Trump is right about the clash of civilizations. (Those that want peace are not responsible for the wars.) No wonder other Arabs don’t want the Palestinians coming into their land because they know these people are terrorists and will create wars, murder, and strife. Its not Israel thats causing the chaos and dragging people into wars.. Islamaphobic is a just word used to deny the innocent a way to fight back……Of course those who are persecuting people don’t want to be identified as the troublemakers who create death, mayhem, and yet preach this poor me attitude. People are sick of the lies, and they know better.
One of the starkest contrasts between Western Civilization and this cult is that in the Seventh Century, A.D., Christian Europe produced St. Benedict, the founder of monasticism, whose Brothers took (and to this day still take) vows of Chastity, Poverty, Obedience, and Stability, and who painstakingly preserved the learning and literature even of the pagan writers of the ancient civilizations of Greece and Rome (which would otherwise have been lost forever–to the exultant cheers of the Mohammedans).
In the same century, Arabia produced a ruthless, bloodthirsty caravan raider and his self-serving “holy book,” which he concocted out of thin air and which provided–and still does–the blueprint and justification for the destruction of all of that, to be replaced by the bloodcurdling savagery against “the infidel”–especially the world’s Jews, and now all of us–that we’ve seen and suffered from for the past 1,400 years.
This dangerous, menacing, belligerent cult is by far the most dangerous threat we and our culture, Constitution, and way of life have ever faced. NOT “global warming,” “white supremacy,” “white rage,” or American “colonialism” and our (nonexistent) “systemic racism.”
It’s even more dangerous than previously, now that so many treasonous, idiotic masochists within our own (now non-existent) “walls” seem to agree with its objective, which is our national destruction.
PERIOD.
