After the Hamas atrocities, experts scurried to explain why it had embraced “ISIS tactics”. Many saw the attacks purely as a way of sabotaging Israel’s talks with Saudi Arabia. Others argued that Hamas had tried for a small attack that escalated when Israel failed to promptly respond. Some express bafflement at what Hamas could have hoped to gain from such an attack.
The experts as usual are wrong because they don’t understand Hamas. And their ignorance stems from their inability to grasp Islamic terrorism because they don’t understand Islam.
Hamas, like the PLO and other Islamic terrorist groups, had spent much of its existence promising to do exactly what it tried to do, invade Israel, and seize and occupy its territory, taking Jewish villages and towns by stages over the years until one day besieging Jerusalem.
The Palestinian Authority, funded by American taxpayers, still airs Arafat’s old speeches in which he calls for “millions of martyrs marching to Jerusalem”. Americans and Israelis refused to take such rhetoric seriously. The cost was over 1,200 lives when Hamas tried to carry it out.
In operational terms, Hamas transitioned from a terrorist organization to a guerrilla force like ISIS or Hezbollah. Israel had been conditioned to expect small hit and run raids. It was not expecting an actual invasion. A hit and run raid with this many Jihadists makes no sense.
This wasn’t a hit and run raid.
Israeli military leaders are now saying that Hamas had not come just to attack, but to occupy and take over the Jewish communities that it invaded. It brought heavy firepower and some of its best trained Jihadists to not just attack, but to hold, fortify and annex those areas.
What the world witnessed was mostly the first stage of a three stage plan. In the second stage, Hamas Jihadists would have secured the captured communities while in the third stage, Hamas civilians, especially women and children, would have been brought in to occupy them. The Israeli military would have had to choose between firing on enemy civilians crossing the border or trying to fight Hamas once it was operating from behind its own human shields.
The captured villages would have been functionally annexed. Even if Israel had recaptured them, it would then have to expel the Muslim civilians now living inside them. Human rights groups and international pressure might have prevented Israel from taking such a step.
Fortunately Hamas never reached the third stage of its plan. Israel managed to destroy the invaders before they were able to fortify themselves and complete the second stage.
But there is every reason to think that Hamas or other Islamic jihadists will try it again.
The Hamas attacks were predictable when viewed in the context of Israel’s history and of the tactics of Islamic groups like ISIS, the Taliban, Boko Haram in Nigeria, Al Qaeda and ISIS affiliates in Mali, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the Houthis in Yemen, to name just a few.
Terrorism is only the first stage of Islamic warfare. Once they have the numbers and the firepower, Islamists transition to guerrilla warfare, seizing and holding territory that they then expand outward from, killing and driving away non-Muslims and unaffiliated Muslims.
The Hamas attacks followed that same strategy. Even the vicious cruelty, the rapes, the beheadings, the torture and the dead children, are part of the standard Islamic playbook. Beyond gratifying their followers and gaining new recruits, atrocities are used to drive away the non-Muslim populations so that Muslim populations can be brought in to replace them. .
Terror was used to depopulate Kashmir of Hindus. The Islamic crimes included raping and sawing a Hindu teacher in half while she was still alive. ISIS employed similar tactics as do the Islamic Jihadis operating in Africa. Rape and the murder of children are used to panic non-Muslims into fleeing and leaving the area to be colonized and occupied by Muslims.
Muslims had used these same tactics against Jews before the State of Israel was reborn. During the Hebron Massacre in 1929, Muslims tortured, killed and mutilated women and children to destroy the Jewish community in the historic city. During Israel’s War of Independence, Muslim forces, similar to those deployed by Hamas, tried to overrun Jewish communities and butcher their inhabitants. The difference is that the typical ‘kibbutz’ back then was heavily fortified and its residents were able to hold out even against superior numbers.
While some of the ‘kibbutzim’ targeted by Hamash held out this time around, others were unprepared for an attack of this kind. Their limited security forces were overwhelmed by superior manpower once the Hamas terrorists were able to get past their security barriers. What would not have worked against a kibbutz in 1948 has succeeded tragically well in 2023.
What went wrong in Israel was not just an intelligence failure, but a conceptual failure.
Hamas views itself as a successor to the Arab Muslim forces that had attacked Jews in the 20’s and 30s, not to mention the 40s, using these same tactics. Its jihadist force is known as the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades after a Muslim cleric who had tried to conduct his holy wars in Syria and Libya, before coming to Israel where his ‘Black Hand’ targeted Jewish communities.
Israel, like America, treated the actions of terrorists as relevant, but their ideological worldview as irrelevant, even though the only way to predict their actions is by understanding what they believe. This schizophrenic approach to terrorism is necessary to avoid dealing with the Islamic beliefs that motivate the Jihadists to do what they do. Every time government officials around the world claim that the terrorists have nothing to do with Islam, they are blinding themselves.
The false notions that there are “moderate” and “extremist” Islamic terrorists or that the various terrorist groups are just reacting to something we did, rather than advancing their beliefs, has made it impossible for nations to accurately predict future Islamic attacks.
Modern counterterrorism is reactive, training on what the terrorists are doing now, and learning to prevent it, with no ability to anticipate when the terrorists change their tactics, as Al Qaeda did when it switched from centrally planned long-range attacks to ‘lone wolf’ attacks locally. These transformations can only be anticipated by understanding the purpose of Islamic warfare.
The Jihad is a colonial settler project to subjugate the world under Islamic law. Senior Hamas official Mahmoud Al-Zahar said last year that “we are not talking about liberating our land alone… the entire 510 million square kilometers of Planet Earth will come under [a system] where there is no injustice, no oppression, no treachery, no Zionism, no treacherous Christianity.” Seizing Israel is just another stage toward seizing all 510 million kilometers.
Experts fail to comprehend Islamic terrorism because rather than understanding how Jihadists think, they project their own tendency toward unnecessary geopolitical complexity onto them. Unable to admit that the only way to meet ruthless armed force is with ruthless armed force, they overthink everything and assume that Islamic terrorists want us to ‘react to them’.
Islamic terrorists cannot be trusted when it comes to negotiations, but they should be taken at their word when they describe what their ultimate goals are. Hamas has been telling us all along what its goals are. Over the last 5 years, it proposed a ‘March of Return’, urged Gazans to cut through the border fence and promised that they would conquer Israel and seize Jerusalem.
The failure to take Hamas at its word about its intentions is what led to this nightmare.
Israel’s political and military leadership needs to fundamentally reorient its thinking. Hamas partially succeeded in its invasion. That means that if left to control Gaza, it will do it again. The success it achieved will spur a wave of recruits and money. Already the propaganda images have allowed Hamas to temporarily eclipse ISIS as the leading jihadist organization in the world.
Hamas has always made its intentions clear. It is out to mobilize all of Israel’s Arab Muslim population and those of the surrounding countries to provide it with money and manpower to attack, invade and destroy Israel. After long years of shelling, it launched a first major invasion to depopulate and then seize Jewish communities within range of the Gaza border.
Some Jewish communities have now been depopulated. While some residents will rebuild, others will leave. Hamas is celebrating such departures as a validation of its strategy that with enough terror all the Jews of Israel will leave the land. And the Muslims will take over.
Hamas leaders gambled that hiding behind civilians would allow them to survive any Israeli retaliation. After enough bombs have been dropped on empty buildings and the media accuses Israel of devastating Gaza and killing civilians, Biden will threaten to cut off support. Previous Israeli retaliations have consistently played out this way and this one may too unless a united Israel is willing to defy the Biden administration and finish the job. Otherwise Israel should anticipate that Hamas will rebuild bigger and stronger than ever with more wealth and a flood of new recruits motivated by tangible evidence of what horrors they can accomplish. The hostages will be traded for terrorists once family members level enough pressure on the government. And Hamas will resume planning for another invasion. And this one may succeed.
The experts will go on getting it wrong because they don’t understand Islam. And without understanding an enemy’s worldview and beliefs, predicting their actions is very difficult.
Intelligence failures are rooted in a materialistic reading of the enemy. Israel was nearly destroyed 50 years ago during the surprise attack of the Yom Kippur War because its intelligence head was convinced that the timing made no tactical sense. And he was right. But the Egyptian invaders prioritized attacking on the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.
The Yom Kippur War timetable may have made no secular strategic sense, but it made sense to those who understand that the purpose of Islamic warfare is to assert the supremacy of Islam over all other religions. A mandate embodied by the Islamic cry of, “Allahu Akbar”.
From a secular strategic perspective, the Hamas invasion baffles experts, but scheduled on the day of Simchat Torah, the joyous conclusion of the Jewish High Holy Days, it makes perfect sense. It was not a terrorist attack, but an invasion meant to fulfill the Islamic mission of reconquering Israel, driving out the Jews and colonizing their towns and cities, killing most, taking captives for ransom, and others as slaves, which is the entire purpose of Hamas.
And of every Islamic terrorist group operating in and around Israel.
The next time, Hamas will try to reach its third stage, to fortify, occupy and annex communities within Israel. And then the enemy will no longer be ‘out there’, but beginning its conquest of Israel, seeking to link up with Arab Muslim towns and villages for the final campaign of Jihad.
Unless Israel finishes Hamas now, it will be fighting Hamas deep inside the Jewish State.
Here’s what to do. It’s real simple. No need to complicate things.
As bad as they are, I’m worse.
Nuke them. Start with Mecca. Give them something to wake up to before I kill them all. I want them to see it.
Then clear the board. Turn off all coms. Bomb, after bomb, after bomb. My bomb. The one they stole from me. Hit everyone. The past century showed this was the right thing to do.
Our people will get hit. Good. Oh no, the junkies. Oh no, the Democrats.
You are dealing with Alexander’s Sewer. There’s nothing indigenous about them. They are all the flunkies left behind or banished to the wastelands no one wanted. Christianity brought peace between Greece and Persia. Then a gate opened up and garbage in human form spilled out. islam didn’t make them bad. They’re bad, and they came up with islam, just like the marxists came up with their perverted delusions.
It’s my land. My ancestors had it long before them.
They could still serve a purpose. The human heart in the 1950s was something mystical. No surgeon dare touch it. Now hundreds of thousands of surgeries are performed a day. The human brain is no different. Consciousness exists as nothing material, a very complex set of chemical potentials. Tear it out of them. Seal it up in some horrible life support. Shoot it adrift in space like the Phantom Zone.
Death is too good for them. Billions and billions of years of vivisection with no hope of rescue.
I’ve always thought that the only thing that will bring Islam to a stop is razing Mecca and Medina, the two holiest sites for Islam, even with nuclear bombs, like Nagasaki and Hiroshima, if that’s what it takes. By doing so it will prove to the Muslim true-believer that his God Allah is an impotent, weakling, of a God unable to even protect his two holiest sites on earth.
If Allah cannot protect his two holiest sites from utter destruction the Muslim true-believer will logically conclude that Allah is impotent to protect the Ummah or carry out his divine will to conquer the infidels.
The religious, mystical, supernatural conviction of Muslim Manifest Destiny to conquer the world can only be effectively neutered, castrated, prostrated, crushed by destroying Mecca and Medina.
They’re not logical They characteristically engage in dualistic thinking (e.g. many believe it was the Mossad that was responsible for the destruction of the World Trade Center and that Muslims had nothing to do with it, while at the same time celebrating bin Ladin as a hero). This illogic derives in large part from the numerous contradictory passages in the Koran, all of which must nevertheless be accepted as true, being the immutable words of Allah. Besides, the Muslims (both the Saudis as well as their predecessors) have intentionally destroyed Arabian Muslim religious sites over the years for various reasons. Our attention should at this time more properly be focused on Tehran, although the KSA is certainly no friend of the West, and is malevolent in many ways.
Why not Iran and KSA?
Actually no. It will just make the average Muslim very mad. If we are lucky he will take his anger out on your for suggesting it.
As for destroying things how about starting with something more easily accomplished, like destroying the Al Aqsa Mosque and building the Third Temple. No Gods involved or needed for that operation.
Just some determined clear thinking special ops guys from IDF with some dynamite.
Every Muslim a terrorist. Every mosque a weapons depot.
This is a brilliant article! The left has no idea what Islam is about, they have not bothered to find out what is in their “holy” books. Unfortunately I’m not sure if they still do. And all kibbutzim are Left wing.
It would be interesting to see how many of these American leftists attending pro-palestine rallies would be willing to bend the knee to allah when confronted with the choice. Like most chicken-shit virtue signalers, they never even think about that because it’s all happening “over there”. It would be something to watch them scream “I’m on your side” before the sword comes down.
Well said and brilliantly depicted, Goru!
There’s no other way.
Either we provide the chemotherapy these troglodytes desperately need or the means simply to despatch them to their virgins in heaven.
Outside of this and a few other venues, there is almost no discussion of the role of Islam in understanding Hamas. We here have been discussing it for 20 years.
The MSM is obsessed with the tactics and never discusses the goal. Ends dictate means. And make them intelligible. Good article as usual.
Treat the hamas scum like the Romans did the Carthaginians. Crush the cities and Gaza bulldoze everything and then salt the entire Gaza Strip so nothing will grow there for 500 years!
Even now the lefty commentators are saying they don’t want to rule over 2 million hamasniks. No mention of razing it and making it Israel again. How else are they going to make a radical change?
No don’t salt the land. that destroys it. That is good land they have been occupying. Destroy the vile occupants so that other more inteligent and productive people can live there and prosper lng after the dirtbags are once more commited to the dust from whence they came.
Yeah, most plants won’t grow if the ground has been salted.
No. Turn it to rubble, burn it, but do not salt it.
Kill every inhabitant, clear it completely, then rebuild and give it back to its rightful tenants, so they can recreate the paradise lost when sharon so stupidly forced Jews out and allowed the arab scum in.
I’ve heard it was one of the most beautiful places on earth. Jews created that. They can create it again.
Not a bad idea.
First-rate analysis and commentary! Hamas must be eradicated—as Al Qaeda should have been eradicated—in a way that will strike at the morale and spirit of the entire jihadist movement. WW2 rules of engagement and tactics are the only answer to a Nazi-like enemy that is bent on achieving world conquest.
Our elites, and especially our garbage “news media” demonstrate that they know nothing about Islam on a daily basis. They don’t even realize that, according to Islam, we are living in “Dar al Harb”, the abode of war and that it’s divinely-ordered mission is to bring us into “Dar al Islam,” lands ruled by sharia (Islamic law), by conversion or conquest, until the entire world is ruled by sharia. This is very basic doctrine in Islam and I doubt a single member of our media knows it or has taken the few minutes online, on Islamic websites, it would take to learn about it. Same with almost all of those in our elite institutions. They may call Islam “the religion of peace” but, clueless people that they are, they don’t understand that, in Islam, such peace will only occur once the entire world is subject to Islamic law, just as this Mahmoud Al-Zahar person quoted in the article said. In their narcissistic ignorance they simply cannot believe anybody could believe this or act on the basis of such a pernicious belief system, despite the evidence of it right before their faces. They are fools.
Brilliant! Haven’t seen that phrase, Dar Al Harb for some years!
I don’t think the MSM are ignorant. I just think they are getting paid enough to tell any lie their masters dictate. When you make the kind of money some of these “anchors” and “reporters” make you don’t worry about the ramifications of your lies. You can afford to insulate yourself from any backlash. It could even be that many of them feel they have immunized themselves from the jihadis by carrying their water.
Daniel is absolutely correct. But I have yet to watch or listen to anyone – including Israeli military strategists on the American news channels – who grasp what he has written here. Even the most sympathetic news anchors and pundits on Fox, Newsmax, et al. persist in using cringeworthy nomenclature such as “,radical Islam.” “Islamofascists,” and “Islamonazis,” suggesting that a mainstream Islam exists which differs significantly from the Islam of Hamas and other terrorist groups. Such an assumption, of course, is wrongheaded nonsense, and reveals the appalling ignorance of those who are considered experts and journalists. One would suppose that many of these news anchors and commentators are provided with fact-checking and research staff who should be investigating the factors driving Muslim terrorists to commit atrocities, feeding this information to the hosts for TV and radio presentation, but I see no evidence of this. That Israelis, who have lived closely with Muslims for nearly eight decades now with endless bloodshed resulting, still remain in the dark about Islam is both baffling and infuriating. What will it take?
No one is willing to address the scale of the problem. And it is a scale issue. So they isolate it and compartmentalize it under various pretexts. Those who know better explain that they’re trying to weaken Islamic terrorist groups and isolate them by such rhetoric, but eventually no one knows any better.
And that’s what happened here.
Those who told these lies after 9/11 in the hopes of gaining the cooperation of more “moderate” Muslims gave way to people who genuinely believe that Islam has nothing to do with terrorism.
Do you know if Hamas has been cleared out? My friend’s sister and her son live in the region that was invaded. They have been staying in their home in terror and are afraid to go out or to even flee. I told my friend I read that the government is handing out weapons to people in that region and suggested her son try to obtain one. Have you any on-the-ground knowledge of the current situation?
On Truth social, there is an account called Breaking Israel News that posts events and locations as they occur. He is supposedly an IDF guy who is an American citizens and he and his brothers are serving in the IDF.
Now, I have no way of verifying him or his information. But his information has seemed accurate so far and is minute by minute for much of each day.
The communities close to the Gaza border have been evacuated to central Israel. Weapons have been given to ‘citizen militias’ – whatever that means. I would suggest they call their local police or army base (or any emergency number) to see if they are in an area subject to evacuation.
This article rings so true as far as Jihadist actual invasion of Israel.
Now that they have penetrated the Jewish Homeland, they will
never stop until Israel is no more. They must be utterly destroyed
sans mercy if Israel is to continue to exist.
“the experts will go on getting it wrong because they don’t understand
Islam”. True. The Israelis know the Arab Muslims hate them totally and
are always attacking them, perhaps even know vaguely because “it’s in
their Koran”. But they are not thinking like their enemy and therefore do
not really know their enemy. As Sun Tzu said: know your enemy and
yourself and you will not be defeated.
The Muslims are like a swarm of locusts. They never individually think.
They unquestionably submit to the seventh-century dictates of Allah
which is ingrained in them from birth. Their leaders will strategize and
can count on the Muslim foot soldiers to “think as one” – because in life
that is what they always do anyway. But even the leaders are 100%
dedicated to the barbaric domination of non-Muslims – especially Jews –
mapped out in their Koran. As the brilliant Israelis strategize, they must
always know the goals for conquest in the Koran – and how their enemy
will likely try to achieve them. The Muslims don’t only want to win – they
want to attain some ghastly goals. Israel dismisses knowledge of this
relentless Islamic quest at her peril.
Thanks Daniel! Clever and interesting analysis.
Also I think they were hoping to trigger a wider war.
They are. Hizb’allah is talking shit and some Hamas potentate in Qatar is calling on all Islamic states to invade Israel. It won’t happen but they’re trying to incite genocide.
I really hope Israel follows through on its vow to destroy Hamas.
Where down voted me licks cadaver assholes.
And it looks like they’ve got their wish.
hezbollah has involved itself, there have been rocket attacks from syria and abbas is calling for the filth in Judea and Samaria to join in.
How long before jordan and egypt decide to attack?
This is going to be a war of total annihilation. Either Israel annihilates its enemies, ALL its enemies, or they will destroy Israel utterly, and there will be another Shoah.
My money’s on Israel. I think it’s fighters will overrule its left-wing leaders and just destroy its enemies.
“… don’t understand Islam”. Totally, absolutely and unequivocally correct. Just ask any misguided commie. They don’t know shit!
As the ancient Chinese general Sun Tzu said, and I’m quoting from memory here…
If you understand yourself and you understand your enemy, you need not fear the outcome of any battle.
If you understand yourself but do not understand your enemy, for every victory, you will also suffer a defeat.
If you understand neither yourself nor your enemy, you will succumb in every battle.
This is so true. What I don’t understand is how the Israelis weren’t wise to what was about to happen? Total intelligence failure. How? Why?
This is the best analysis I’ve read yet on Hamas’ attack. I knew it was jihad but didn’t get the specific agenda of how closely ir followed the path of uniquely Uslamid terror and why laid out historically and elsewhere. Thank you, Daniel!
Thank you. The pattern is fairly clear when we look at other countries where Muslims have a large enough population to launch conquest efforts.
It was definitely an attempt to displace Jews.
Understanding the problem—a clash of civilizations—is overwhelming to most people and contradicts the prevailing multicultural/ one world ethos that’s so prevalent in the world. It’s overwhelming to most people to consider a war of civilizations, so most people won’t consider it. And while anti-semitism/ Zionism colors people’s reactions where Jews are concerned, anti-semitism plays little role in ignoring no go zones and non stop rape by Muslims of European women in Britain, France, Sweden, etc, etc, etc.
Western civilization is far and happy and our elites are making big bucks off of the current arrangement. No one wants to rock the boat by waking up to reality.
As to the reaction of Israelis —and Jews generally—to this latest outrage, this always happens: we infight until there’s an attack from without, whereupon we have a brief, intense “am echad” moment and then go back to fighting. Morale is very low and Israelis bail Israel and diaspora Jews bail Judaism. Wash, rinse, repeat.
Cheap labor is needed and left-of-center parties need voters. Cheap voters and cheap labor are destroying much of the first world.
And having Jihadists around makes for exciting academic and activist sessions for the degenerate children of the elites who want to act out a bit.
More and more Israel seems to be the four center squares on a chess board. Dominate them and you have huge advantage over the rest of the board. As Israel goes, so goes the world.
“The hostages will be traded for terrorists once family members level enough pressure on the government.”
The current hostage situation is partly a result of the past success that Hamas has had with this tactic (1,000 for one Gilad Shalit, e.g).
Israel must make the price high for Hamas playing this tactic and will have some agonizing choices to make.
Indeed. Very agonizing ones. The Shalit betrayal was utterly disastrous and is one of the things that led to this.
I thought it was 1100.
I think the precise number was 1027. I’m an old engineer from the slide-rule days, we use round numbers.
I believe you. I was just going on what was reported.
I don’t like round numbers. Accurate statistics are what matter.
“What a free Palestine looks like is what happened two days ago…….It looks like death squads who would execute those who would not submit to Islam. Innocent men, women, and children. That’s what it looks like. AND THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THIS.
“And for all the ignorant people in the international community who are chanting ‘free Palestine’ on the streets of capitol cities in London and Toronto and New York City, if you’re saying it in ignorance, we can forgive you because you’re stupid, but if you’re saying it with conviction and belief and understanding, what you’re doing is participating in a genocidal initiative and a genocidal regime for the eradication of not only the Jewish people, but for the submission of everyone who is outside of the house of Islam. This is the theology of Hamas. This is the theology of Iran. This is the theology of the regime in Turkey…..”
I will never forgive them for being stupid.
Ignorance is no excuse.
Moslems have committed enough atrocities through the western world in recent years for even the most idiotic of village idiots to see and understand what they’re about.
It isn’t difficult to get information either. Most of us are not specialist researchers, but we all found it..
As far as I’m concerned, anyone who screams ‘gas the Jews’ deserves to be executed. I don’t care what their excuses are.
There is a book titled. “The Koranic Concept of War” written by a Pakistani Brig by the last name of Malik that backs up this article.by Daniel. Its only 90 pages long and is an easy read. Suggest all here read it. There is no way on God’s good earth that Islam and any non-Islamic entity can co-exist. Hamas must be eradicated to the last man. Israel should reclaim Gaza and send what’s left of the population.packing. Israel is also stupid to trust the Biden regime. They need to take care of the business at hand for their own survival.
Islam is based on conquering non-Muslim lands. That is it is religious mission.
Agree, with your comments, LTC John. I’ll read the book, too. Absolutely, Israel should reclaim Gaza. They should give notice for all non-combatants to leave within two weeks, a set deadline. They can evacuate through Egypt or by sea. Perhaps to a new home in Iran, their benefactor. They cannot remain in Gaza. All those left will be considered combatants. Gaza is twenty five miles long seven miles wide, decimate it from the air then send in the ground forces supported by helicopter gun ships, aircraft, and tanks! Minimize Israeli combat casualties! Clear out this rats nest once and for all!
JNS’s Caroline Glick videos are somehow still allowed on Youtube. She has been informative each day but its sobering . Her view aligns with Daniels as far as I can tell. What needs to be done and what the the left in Israel and the left in the US wants Israel to do are likely very different.
A major difference is that this time the attack hit the Left hard. The victims tend to come from their ranks. Maybe that will change things? For the moment at least it hopefully has. But I’m not too optimistic.
This article really connected the dots for me.
As I see it, there are three jihad strategies to destroy Israel.
Strategy #1, as explained in the article, is to invade Isreal, kill every Jew, bring in your folks and annex.
This strategy includes posting the horror for all the world to see, a purpose of which – and this is horrendous to think – to desensitize a horrified world to the horror. Is this possible, you ask?
Desensitizing is essential to continue the killing. Don’t you think that all the movies and tv shows that graphically depict violence – as entertainment – are desensitizing? Real, unreal, in this sick world, what’s the difference?
More than that, with this attack, Hamas is watching closely with every passing day the world’s reaction to its latest upgrade of brutality – Like the Nazis in the 1930’s. The more bold and brutal the Nazis became, the more the world did nothing and did not care. This encouraged the Nazis to proceed with their plan to exterminate the Jews.
We will see how this war plays out with the 84 countries (out of 193) that proclaimed that Israel has the right to “defend“ herself. Wow. That’s powerful isn’t it? We’ve got a right not to die? Or we’ve got the right to try not to die?
Then there’s strategy #2, which is what is happening inside Israel.
Whereas imams and clerics whip up the frenzied, savage army of terrorists outside of Israel, the Arab political party leaders in Israel and hostile to Israel, but, nevertheless, Knesset members, thanks to Israel’s Supreme Court, are telling the Arab Israelis, but not the PA’s Palestinian Arabs, to not listen to Hamas’s call to kill innocent women, children and old people. They don’t mention innocent men.
It’s hard for these seasoned Arab politicians to control
young Arab Israelis, because, terror brings instant gratification. This strategy is slow, waiting for
a world-sanctioned terror state. That’s when it’ll be okay for strategy #1.
Finally, on the international level, in America, there’s strategy #3.
First, Muslim immigration. Then 9/11 is staged for all the world to see and be horrified by, and, before the human dust settles, Islamaphobia is invented and intersected with anti-Semitism, racism and the rights of a phantom Palestinian people and land. And then, a mere seven years after 9/11, a president, whose Jihadi mission is to destroy Israel and all Jews, is inaugurated.
israel has no friends , just lip service . the west would like the jewish problem to go away . feckless joe just gave iran 60 bill. $ straight into the pockets of hamas . and then told them to spend it on food and humanitarian purposes . iran gave feckless joe the finger . qatar also funds hamas and continues to fly into airports around the world . anyone who flies with them also supports hamas . but the world is clueless as to what is happening , even if they knew the MSM would turn victims into oppressors which as we speak they are doing . the west is paying islamic terrorists to eradicate israel so that they don’t have blood on their hands that everyone can see . the MSM continue to tout a 2 state solution while islam touts no jew from jordan to the sea . every left wing reporter continues to refer to israel as an occupier . until they get their facts correct , which isn’t going to happen because the totalitarian left love islam and not christianity or judaism . islams true colours are on display yet the left will continue to blame israel .
Interesting theory, which I haven’t heard until now. But it makes sense.
They either really believe that the Jews have somewhere else to go… Or they know that they don’t.
In which case, they presumably see their job as “setting fire to the house” to smoke us out, and once we are back in the Galut, other Jew-haters can finish us off.
Their fatal mistake is to not notice that there is a GOD in Israel, who already revealed their plans — and their end — a long time ago.
Islam is the “fourth beast” in Daniel 7.
