RUTHFULLY YOURS

Here’s a story every American should hear — the Gaza woman who twice received extensive life-saving care from Israel, obtained her education through Israel, and then returned to blow up the hospital that saved her life. And she told an American journalist that she would attempt another terrorist attack in a heartbeat if she could.

Westerners tend to be cultural imperialists, which means that they make the false assumption that the overwhelming majority of human beings have basically the same goals and standards and want the same outcomes. The number of egregiously stupid mistakes that American politicians, for instance, have made because they refuse to acknowledge that Communist and Islamic regimes don’t value the lives or prosperity of their people is appalling. 

Even the new America-brokered deal pressed on Israel that would require the release of hundreds of Gaza jihadists — Oct. 7 mastermind Yahya Sinwar was previously released through just such a deal — does not seem to acknowledge that the overwhelming majority of the so-called Palestinians fanatically and fundamentally believe they must wipe Israel off the map for Allah. They are taught that from school, the media, and mosques from the youngest ages. As long as Gaza exists as a Muslim-run territory, Israel will be fighting off terror attacks.

But Sinwar was only one of about a thousand Gazans traded back in a deal for a single Israeli hostage, just as the brand new deal would release around 2,000 Gazans in exchange for the nearly 50 Israeli hostages. Among the other Gazans in the Sinwar deal was Wafa, an attempted suicide bomber who targeted the very Israeli hospital that had saved her life. 

Back in 2012, Leland Vittert told The Free Press’s Bari Weiss that he was a foreign correspondent for Fox News. He described how normal it was as a Middle Eastern correspondent to have to cover suicide bombings against Israel and riots in the “West Bank,” which is the Palestinian propaganda term for the Israeli land the Bible calls Judea and Samaria. But the Obama-backed “Arab Spring” that gave birth to so many Islamic terrorist movements had been occupying his time.

There’s finally a deal on the table.  Eight Muslim nations signed on.  The Palestinian Authority signed on.  The world is ready to stop the bloodshed.  And yet — predictably, infuriatingly — Hamas shrugs and says, “Yes, but…”

Every time there’s a glimmer of peace, Hamas moves the goalposts.  Another round of haggling.  Another round of delay.  Another chance to keep the chaos going — because chaos is the only currency Hamas knows how to spend.

And here’s the question no one seems to ask: Where are the protesters now?

For months, we’ve seen mobs in the streets screaming, “Ceasefire now!”  They chained themselves to bridges.  They stormed college campuses.  They shouted down Jewish students and politicians.  But now — when there’s actually a ceasefire deal that Israel and the Arab world have signed off on — the silence is deafening.

Why aren’t the protesters outside Hamas’s offices, demanding they accept the deal?  Why aren’t they rallying against the terrorist group that’s blocking peace?  Because it was never really about peace.  It was about blaming Israel.

Hamas survives by saying, “Yes, but.”  It always has.  It feeds on delay, on endless negotiation, on bloodshed dragged out just long enough to buy itself another news cycle.  Meanwhile, innocent families — Israeli and Palestinian alike — suffer while the “resistance” leaders hide in tunnels and play politics with people’s lives.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to the UN General Assembly was partly performance, but mostly profound.

The performance part included a QR code on his lapel which delegates were invited to zoom in with their camera phones and see atrocities committed by Hamas that are too gruesome for TV networks to show. He also arranged for his statement that Israel has not forgotten the hostages to be blasted over loudspeakers set up in Gaza for that purpose.

The profound part included repetition of what he has said before with some twists. Netanyahu reminded the delegates that Israel’s battle against terrorism is not limited to the region, but that the terrorists want to return the entire world to the “Dark Ages.”

A few excerpts from his speech:

“Iran’s aggression, if not checked, will endanger every single country in the Middle East, and many, many countries in the rest of the world, because Iran seeks to impose its radicalism well beyond the Middle East.”

“Hamas steals the (humanitarian aid) and then they hike the prices … and that’s how they stay in power.”

“Israel must also defeat Hezbollah in Lebanon. … It has tentacles that span all continents. It has murdered more Americans and more Frenchmen than any group since Bin Laden. It’s murdered the citizens of many countries represented in this room. And it has attacked Israel viciously over the last 20 years.”

“For 18 years, Hezbollah brazenly refused to implement UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which requires it to move its forces away from our borders. Instead, Hezbollah moved right up to our border. They secretly dug terror tunnels to infiltrate our communities and indiscriminately fired thousands of rockets into our towns and villages.”

“In this battle between good and evil, there must be no equivocation. When you stand with Israel, you stand for your own values and your own interests.”

“We see this moral confusion (about which side is good and which side is evil) when Israel is falsely accused of genocide when we defend ourselves against enemies who try to commit genocide against us. We see this too when Israel is absurdly accused by the ICC Prosecutor of deliberately starving Palestinians in Gaza.”
