Cutting to the Chase—Ignore Moral Relativism and Smash Hamas

VOICES

ALPERN AT LARGE - We defeated al-Qaida, we defeated ISIS, and we can defeat Hamas…and I don’t mean just Israel defeating Hamas, but WE can defeat Hamas—and those behind Hamas, which are the Iranian mullahs—if we just recognize that WE do not have to abide by THEIR propaganda games.

Yes, we have uneducated morons in our universities who’ve been indoctrinated and play the woke/intersectional “stick it to The Man, stick to The West, stick it to the Christians and Jews”.

Yes, we have many in our nation who will make many wonder if former president Donald Trump was right about immigration and “extreme vetting”.

Yes, we have many political leaders all too willing to tell Israel they need to have a few of their civilians die here and there to keep the peace and win a few political points.

And yes, we have many in our main print/online media all too quick to ignore the fact that it’s HAMAS, and their SUPPORTERS IN GAZA, who are responsible for civilian deaths…as if the Israelis massacred on October 7th was long, long, long in the past and no longer relevant a month later.

LET’S KEEP IT SIMPLE: Most of the Palestinians of Gaza have NEVER been tolerant of a two-state solution…they have ALWAYS wanted the Jews dead, and Israel destroyed altogether, and now it’s become “us or them”…and the Israelis want the dying and destruction to be more on the “them” side of things.

That’s what WAR is all about. Horrible, but “they” are supposed to die in WAR.

LET’S KEEP IT SIMPLE: Hamas has been hiding and firing and attacking behind civilians, and that means in ambulances and hospitals. Israel hitting a convoy of ambulances with terrorists hidden amongst the injured?

A sneaky, horrible way to keep Israel from defending itself. The cause of any innocents dying in those ambulances…HAMAS!

And the story of those ambulances is as suspicious as claiming Israel blew up a hospital…propaganda, best ignored, and reviled when it’s proven to be just that…propaganda from hostiles!

LET’S KEEP IT SIMPLE: Israel’s Gaza assault is radicalizing a new generation of Palestinians?

Been there, done that—when Palestinians are indoctrinated like Hitler Youth to ignore what’s actually gone on, and ignore that Gaza was given to them as an independent territory by Israel, and ignore that Egypt and Jordan and the rest of the Arab World doesn’t want them…they’ll be radicalized.

And NO ONE from the United Nations is demanding an end to the radicalization of Palestinians youths by Palestinian leaders.

So…LET’S KEEP IT SIMPLE ONE MORE TIME:

Al-Qaida…gone.  ISIS…gone. The Taliban…in power, but definitely aware they better watch their heinies.

Unfortunately, Iran was never challenged by former president George W. Bush, and was catered to by former president Barack H. Obama, and until recently was still being catered to by current President Joe Biden…and so they were never pushed out of the way like they should have been decades ago.

So Hamas, and by extension too many of the Gazans who SHOULD have chosen different leadership (which makes them anything BUT innocent), will be bombed without hesitation by Israel into submission. 

Again and again and again and again until Hamas is crushed underfoot like Al-Qaida and ISIS…and like Egypt did with the Muslim Brotherhood, which has the same DNA as Hamas. 

Joe Biden doesn’t have the spine or political will to take on Iran (who sponsors Hamas and Hezbollah and so much of the region’s terrorist groups), but at this time Netanyahu and a unified Israel doesn’t appear to have those qualms against its enemies.

So we’ll see who KEEPS IT SIMPLE, and who wins in the terrible action that is WAR.
