I was getting ready to do some chores and decided to check my incoming email first.
The link above is what stood out, and then I realized that I needed to take additional blood pressure medication.
Here’s what I’ve decided needs to be done, unless Israel wants a replay of Czechoslovakia and Munich 1938 via a combination of assorted Neville Chamberlains selling it out for their own “peace for our time” interests, totally disregarding Israel’s minimal existential needs.
The Czechs and Slovaks had a strong military back then, but were sacrificed by their alleged friends. Their army and armaments were top notch, but they were forced to cede the mineral rich region of the Sudetenland to the Nazis because numerous Germans had settled in the area, just as numerous Arabs did likewise in Judea and Samaria and Gaza as well.
The Minutes of the Permanent Mandates Commission of the League of Nations documented thousands upon thousands of Arabs pouring into the Mandate from elsewhere due to the economic development going on because of the Jews.
Hamas’s patron saint, Sheikh Izz ed-din al-Qassam, for whom its butcher brigades and rockets have been named, came from Latakia, Syria, along with scores of thousands of other Syrians.
Arafat was born in Egypt and entered along with numerous thousands of other Egyptian Arabs, starting from a century earlier with Muhammad Ali and son Ibrahim Pasha’s armies. Many soldiers remained to become additional Arab settlers in the Mandate of Palestine.
Returning to the current degradation and humiliation of Israeli hostages as seen in the opening link, it’s time for Israel to not worry about the world’s assorted hypocrites and antisemites and adopt a death penalty for murderers taken alive who wantonly disembowel, behead, incinerate whole families alive, gang rape and mutilate their victims.
Far fewer armed butchers should have been taken alive. Period…
This way Israel can avoid having to trade thousands of genocidal maniacs for a handful of its own innocent hostages and other dead ones…and avoid the absurdity of having to pay to house, feed, provide medical care, and educate the slaughterers of its people.
Israel must insist on having a permanent buffer zone on both its northern border, with a still viable Hizbullahland aka Lebanon, and with Hamastan on the Gaza frontier. Hamas has already replaced the fighters it lost.
The Lebanese Army has already been repeatedly caught colluding with Hizbullah, as the UN’s own laughingstock peacekeepers as well.
A force similar to what’s been stationed in Sinai independent of the United Nauseating Nations is what might be the answer, but it would have to be for the long term. The Multi National Force and Observers have proved to be very effective. But, if Egypt decides to oust them, that’s when the true test of the MFO’s worth will be tested. The UN force there earlier in 1967 withdrew as soon as Egypt’s Nasser ordered it to.
Someone likened it to a fire brigade running away as soon as smoke appeared.
Nations and organization-led entities which repeatedly attack their neighbors must pay a price for their crimes. That price usually includes a territorial dimension.
Gaza had a rich Jewish history since Biblical days up until the post-WWI era when it became part of the original Mandate of Palestine in 1920. The Golan Heights were part of the original Mandate as well, and also have a rich Jewish history.
The very name “Jordan” comes from the Hebrew tribe of Dan which lived in this area. The River descended from the hilly area of the tribe of Dan.
Returning to Gaza and Hamas, whose very charter calls for the total destruction of Israel and its Jews, it needs to finally be dealt with the same way any other nation so brutalized would do…..eradication, the same fate Hamas and Islamic Jihad have planned for Jews.
If that’s not justice, what is?
Germany was firebombed and Japan nuked when those they attacked took care of business.
Name any war in history, and see if border changes didn’t occur as a result.
It didn’t even have to take hostile actions for some nations to grab other peoples’s lands.
The nearly seven million square miles of territory Arab nationalism won for itself is the result of fourteen centuries of genocidal, colonizing, imperialistic settlement of mostly non-Arab peoples’s lands— often outlawing their own native languages and cultures as well. This is documented nicely in the following link:

Arabs and other Arabized/Islamized jihadis were not the only ones doing such things, but the millions slaughtered and enslaved in order to expand the Dar ul-Islam were astronomical, especially on the Indian subcontinent and still occurring in sub-Saharan Africa.
The Islamized Turks had their heyday of slaughter, and then also came the Mongols…
Other empire building nations engaged in some of these crimes against humanity (the many ancient empires come to mind— Egypt, Babylon, Assyria, and so forth), but it would be difficult to find any crueler than those still waging incessant jihad in the name of Islam all over the world today.
The genocidal wars being waged against the sole, minuscule, resurrected nation of the Jewish People, living on historic lands they have documented evidence of continuous residence for over three millennia, despite conquests by Assyria, Babylonia, Syrian Greeks, Rome, invading Arab jihadis from the Arabian Peninsula, Turks, and so forth, are different from the other Arab wars since Jews are the very people whom Muhammad learned all about G_d from. And the Hebrew Prophets, including Abraham (Ibrahim), Moses (Musa), the Angel Gabriel, Jerusalem, the Torah (first five books of the Bible, and other monotheistic beliefs from.
In many ways, much of the Qur’an reads like an Arabized version of the Hebrew Bible.
Jews fleeing the Roman wars in Judaea founded the date palm oasis of Medina, and gave refuge to Muhammad in his Hijra period, flight from his enemies in Mecca.
When they refused to acknowledge him as the “Seal of the Prophets,” he had all the males decapitated, and enslaved the women and children.
Since he was so close to the Jews, their refusal to “anoint” him as the greatest of the Prophets was unbearable. So, a particularly nasty animus for Jews became inculcated into Islamic belief and practice.
This is not unlike the problem Christianity had/has with Jews who refused to accept the changes to Jewish monotheistic beliefs it insisted Jews accept on the pain of death on too many occasions.
Interestingly, however, there are also contradictory Surahs and Hadiths in the Qur’an and elsewhere which state that the land of Israel belongs to the Jewish People .
Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hizbullah, ISIS, the Taliban, and so forth learned his lessons well. They proudly took photos of themselves doing such things on October 7th, 2023, and posted them on the internet.
Others besides Arabs and other Islamic peoples also indulged in empire building and conquest of other peoples’s lands.
Guess which kingdom or nation has had the largest empire ever?
Check this next link out and note the hypocrisy of such nations demanding that Israel reman a 9-15 mile wide sardine can of a state, while stealing millions of square miles of other people’s lands for themselves:

Finally, when you watch that opening video, picture yourselves or your loved ones in this situation. This is what Israel has been forced to live with since its miraculous rebirth on less than one half of one percent of MENA in May 1948.

I agree with EvRe1. Leftist idealism clouds common sense. Also, over thinking Israel’s political positions and rights. What is needed is a gut reaction: You want to kill us? OK, we need to kill you.
I think Israel’s main problem since her founding is the left of center ideology (including Communist ideology in some of the founders).
The problem with progressive political ideology is that in Israel and other countries, they feel that people who are openly their enemies will change if they are treated with compassion.
This idealism is dangerous. Ask anyone from the Kibbutzim that were attacked: the people in these kibbutzim were the most progressive and peace loving towards the Arabs of any people in Israel except for the Tel Aviv contingent. Ask them if they still feel that they can turn the Arabs into friends by showing compassion.
A consequence of this insanity is the idea that it makes sense to release murderers with blood on their hands in exchange for hostages they have taken, only to find out that the murderers the Israelis released went back to murdering right after their release.
This progressive ideology is so dangerous it almost led to the end of Israel. And then these same appeasers decided they had to do it AGAIN in order to get the hostages back from the 7th of October massacre.
ISRAEL MUST STOP RELEASING CONVICTED MURDERERS in exchange for innocent hostages. To continue on this path will eventually lead to the end of Israel.
Execution of murderers might have to be the plan until such time as the Arabs have an opportunity for generational culture change, possibly initiated by the Jordan Option.
Until the Arabs treat the Israelis like fellow citizens, another approach is to revoke their citizenship.
According to an article written by Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, “in international law, the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness regulates the circumstances under which a state may revoke an individual’s citizenship. According to Article 8(3), a person’s citizenship can be revoked, even if the decision leaves them stateless, if they have breached their loyalty to the state, explicitly violated a prohibition by receiving or continuing to receive financial compensation/salary from another entity, or acted in a manner that harms the vital interests of the state.”
In addition loss of territory should be considered a consequence of attacks on innocent Israeli citizens.
All of these approaches provide for better national security than release of murderers.
In addition, the Israeli government including the military and intelligence agencies, must weed out and vigorously liberate to find employment elsewhere all individuals with the progressive mind set that views Arabs as fully capable of being peaceful if Israel will just treat the Arabs with compassion.
We ALL know in our hearts what any response to terrorists MUST be.
When fighting, wipe them out, take no prisoners except for interrogation reasons. When caught, military trial and then a
FIVE FEET DROP……….!!!!!!!!!
Interesting article. The death penalty should be used when needed. The bible also promotes death by stoning and so on. Islam propagated a philosophy of lying to advance Islam and that is employed all the time. That they also needlessly kill to advance Islam is actually to their own detriment or maybe entertainment.
The Jews were chosen of all peoples to give the world God’s Torah and Bible. Unfortunately, those who receive God’s word are at liberty to interpret it any way they want to and just look around at the vast number of variations of any established religion. Like the pope claims, they are all striving to reach God and paradise.
It is an interesting historical note that Jews receive so much attention and are considered to have so much authority and influence. In simple point of fact, at their peak in 1939, the number of Jews in the world represented only 3/4 of 1% of the world’s total population; today, that number is only 1/5 of 1%. Yet there are people, even educated people in Western countries, who think the numbers are actually many multiples of the real number and that Jews control the world. Remember that The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is still a big seller in many countries around the world, including Western countries, and strangely enough, in Japan, which has never had more than a relative handful of Jews living there.
There are many reasons why the only history taught to children in the West for decades now is Leftist revisionist history, where the children are taught that their nations, as well as all white people, are evil and deserve to be wiped out for what they have done to non-white people. (I could pursue this further, but that is a discussion for another day.)
It is also taught that Islam is the religion of peace, and everywhere that Muslims live as a minority, they are mistreated and persecuted. That is a classic case of projection. In fact, everywhere that Muslims are a majority, it is they who mistreat and persecute everyone else. And most of the time, they take it one step further and simply murder off the minorities. Furthermore, it is a sick joke when Muslims accuse other nations, especially Western nations, of “occupation” and “colonialism.” The simple fact is thar every single square inch of land that today is Muslim land was either conquered or stolen from some other nation or group. It is Islam and its followers who take the prize as occupiers and colonizers.
I agree with you completely, except that, unlike Christians and Muslims, Jews never built an empire. The Jews built a kingdom that split into two smaller kingdoms that were each eventually conquered. Monotheism’s family feud exists because Christians and Muslims co-opted Judaism to build empires that used Jew-hatred as part of their empire-building strategies.
I subscribe to the 2 slap system. First incident you push back firmly. Second incident, you wipe the floor with the transgressor.
I do like the US holding back on free condoms. Let them all die of lab-engineered STDs.
Every Palestinian released should be like free small pox blankets. Loaded with Ebola, Diphtheria, Small Pox, you name it, anything contagious and fatal. And an anally inserted pager injection, such that if they try to leave the strip, they blow up.
