Screams Before Silence
"Hamas is a political force.""When you think of Hamas, you should not necessarily think of cutthroats, people armed to the teeth, or fighters. It's not like that.""Our collective obliviousness to what led, 100 years ago, to the Third Reich’s expansionism and the genocide of people not in conformity with the 'pure race' is asinine. And it is leading to the commission of yet another genocide...""Fellow Europeans, Italians, Germans: after the Holocaust, we should instinctively know that Genocide starts with dehumanizing the Other. If Israel's current attack agst [sic] Palestinians doesnt [sic] prompt our strong reaction, the darkest page of our recent history has taught us nothing.""...Many Jewish people worldwide, unconditionally in love with Israel, live a lie. Premised upon the invisibilization/erasure [sic] of the Palestinians, Israel's founding ideology [and lie] is now leading to a genocide. What a disgraceful epilogue.""Time to #UNseatIsrael from the UN."UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese

After
two years of conflict between Israel and the terrorist group Hamas in
Gaza, following hard on Palestinian terrorism committing unspeakable
atrocities in southern Israel on October 7, 2023, the guns are silent.
Almost. The guns are still there. But the full-blown assaults one on the
other have been stilled. Hamas deliberately and with malice
aforethought planned a devastatingly traumatic event in an orgy of hate
and blood-lust, when it dispatched four thousand operatives, mostly
representing Hamas, but also Fatah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the
Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, with orders to commit
mass rape, torture, a wide arc of killing, and the abduction of Israeli
children, civilian men and women, and foreign farm workers as hostages.
Matters
were too silent for too long as far as Hamas, which had signed a
ceasefire/hudna with Israel, felt, and matters were proceeding that
disturbed their agenda of isolating Israel, demoralizing its population
and finagling the Jewish state's elimination, when important Arab/Muslim
countries like the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan, joined Egypt and
Jordan in signing a peace agreement with Israel under the Abraham
Accords, with signals that more would follow. The atrocities the
Palestinian terrorist groups, joined by two thousand ordinary
Palestinian civilians, wrought in Israel that day were flagrant examples
of sadistic savagery meant to traumatize the Israeli population and
shock its government. It did all of that.
And
then the enormity of the event, the depth of the depravity in
mutilating girls and women while raping and murdering them, of burning
entire families alive in their homes, of killing anyone the marauding
terrorists found in the streets unaware of a vicious armed invasion
taking place, and hunting down thousands of fearful young Israelis at a
music festival to rape, murder and abduct, galvanized the Israeli
government and the Israeli Defense Forces into a response, where the
military following government orders set out to destroy Palestinian
terror, its infrastructures, its weapons depots, its hiding places,
while searching for the hostages.
The
Gaza population was offered as a sacrifice to terrorism's goals with
the deliberate intention on the part of Hamas leaders, to have as much
collateral damage as possible inflicted on their populace to serve as a
springboard in presenting Israel as a genocidal aggressor, augmenting
their general representation of Palestinian victimhood at the hands of
an oppressor that had nothing better to do than target Palestinians for
death, a complete inversion of the Hamas covenant that bound it to the
complete eradication of the Jewish state from the Middle East, and the
death of Jews anywhere.

Latent
antisemitism comes alive when Israel is portrayed as a heartless
aggressor, and those in any society that seem to have Jew-hate imprinted
in their DNA are always eager to take such charges at face value,
justifying their own beliefs about Jewish intentions to rule the world.
The United Nations, the international institution whose stated goal is
world peace, assigned an arm to oversee conditions and give aid to
Palestinians in Gaza through UNRWA, and like the UN's Francesca
Albanese, its appointed heads have always been thorough antisemites,
while their employment of local Palestinians featured members of the
various terrorist groups; neutrality is an unknown concept there, as is
fairness and decency.
The
people of Gaza have been ruled for the past several decades by an
Islamist totalitarian government. Funded by the international community,
overseen by the United Nations which has never had a problem defending
the ongoing violence that Palestinians perpetrated over the last 80
years on Israel, while their leaders refused time and again to lay down
arms and malice and agree to recognizing Israel's right of existence and
establishing a state of their own alongside Israel. Their solution was a
one-state settlement; a Palestinian state and no room for the presence
of a Jewish state.

Now
that the conflict has been paused, settled, awaiting results, plans are
afoot to reconstruct Gaza once Hamas has surrendered its arms and faded
into history. Hamas has no intention of doing either, despite its
agreement to the ceasefire and its conditions, and the anxiety of the
Middle East (with the exception of the Iran axis) to cement peace
between Israel and 'Palestine'. In foreign parts across the world,
Europe and North America, the massed protests supporting Palestine (and Hamas)
calling for a ceasefire, should rightly see a mass sigh of relief, but
those who were dedicated to achieving a ceasefire, were also firmly
dedicated to opposing Israel's existence.
That
hasn't changed, thanks to a massive influx of Muslim supporters of
Palestine having over time infiltrated Western society, finding common
cause with Western homegrown socialists, Marxists, 'progressive'
academics and unions and just plain old closet Jew-haters, feeling free
now to exit their dank basements to rally alongside fellow antisemites.
And
Gaza? How's it faring? If you're a member of Hamas, very well. As a
civilian Palestinian who desperately wants an end to endless conflict,
to repression, to threats and violence, not so good. Because, no longer
distracted with shielding itself from Israeli fire meant to destroy the
presence of terrorists, Hamas can now devote all its time to rebranding
itself as the rightful governance of the territory they plotted to be
the recipient of an Israeli response. Now Hamas is free to 'identify'
those Palestinians they claim opposed their rule, and chose to
collaborate with Israel or with Palestinian clans opposed to Hamas.
The
order of the day now in Gaza is threats, beatings, public executions
and full-blown violence between Hamas operatives charged to destroy
family clans that reject Hamas as the ruling power in Gaza. Hamas once
again rules that part of the territory where the IDF has no presence.
Insisting they are implementing law and order, and executing the
'criminals' in Palestinian society. The population of Gaza once again
faces the threat of death from its leaders, now that Hamas gangsters
have emerged fully uniformed from their tunnels. Score-settling has
turned a war zone into a death zone.
