Those of you who have spent the past 15 months demanding that Israel cease firing without criticizing Hamas or demanding that they release the hostages and surrender/stop firing at Israel – well done! In addition to contributing to unprecedented levels of Jew hatred around the world, you’re also helping to keep the war going and making the situation worse for Palestinian civilians in Gaza.
Of course, the fact that the situation has played out in this way doesn’t come as a surprise to anyone who actually understands how things work in the Middle East and how terrorist organizations like Hamas operate. Indeed, there are Palestinians and others from across the region who have literally been begging the world to realize that Hamas is everyone’s enemy and that they need to be stopped, and your actions are essentially egging them on to continue. It is, quite honestly, shocking to me that people don’t grasp this. What did you think would happen?
Not that I am anyone of importance or someone others listen to, but for more than a year, in so many of my posts during this terrible time, I have asked and wondered out loud why more people aren’t condemning Hamas, since they are the ones who started this and they are the ones who can end it – they could have ended it months ago. You would think that calling out terrorists would be a no-brainer, but apparently, when the terrorists are attacking Israel and Israelis, you would be wrong.
You condemn Israel for responding to October 7th, but you don’t condemn Hamas for instigating and perpetuating this war, or for not providing any protection whatsoever for innocent Palestinians…
You always believe whatever Hamas – including the “Gaza Ministry of Health” – reports, but you never believe Israel (or Israeli victims of Hamas brutality, even though in many instances, Hamas terrorists actually filmed themselves while carrying out these utterly depraved acts)…
You say nothing when Hezbollah fires tens of thousands of missiles at Israeli towns and cities for over a year (or when the entire world allows Hezbollah to build up its arsenal close to the border for 18 years!), yet condemn Israel for responding to these acts of war and terror…
You get angry over Israel’s perceived collective punishment and demand more precise attacks against terrorists, yet when we do just that, you condemn those as well…
You’re seemingly fine with the Houthis regularly firing missiles from Yemen at Central Israel (which they are still doing, sending millions of Israelis racing for shelter during the middle of the night approximately 10 times during the past few weeks), but condemn Israel when it responds to this ongoing aggression…
You turn a blind eye to everything that Iran has done through its proxies or directly, but don’t like it when we respond…
Is it really any wonder that Hamas feels emboldened to keep fighting when everyone in the West refuses to either condemn or put pressure on them, while at the same time attacking Israel for having the “audacity” to defend itself on multiple fronts, or for believing whatever crap the terrorists are spewing about what’s happening?
And yet, even if you’re reading what I’ve written here or the article I’ve shared with this post, I’m guessing that for those of you who have been bashing Israel and not Hamas, you still believe that you understand the situation better than I do – which would be laughable if it wasn’t so infuriating and reflecting your incredible ignorance and privilege.
The truth is this. If you’ve been giving Hamas and all the other Iranian terror proxies a pass… If you haven’t felt the need to demand that your governments pressure Hamas to stop… If you’ve only been demanding they pressure Israel – you are complicit, you are empowering terrorists, and you have Palestinian blood on your hands.
Hamas thanks you for your support.
