RUTHFULLY YOURS

So here we have it: when radical activists are no longer in power, their hatred for conservative governments and their leaders apparently transcends respect for democracy.

Golan’s suspiciously self-serving ruminations, are, of course, pure fantasy, and uttered at great potential cost to Israel’s credibility… “if elections were held today, The Democrats would win 16 [out of 120] Knesset seats…”

Even before the establishment of the modern state of Israel in 1948, Jews had a long history of trying to establish a state in the land of Israel according to a European template built on believing you can make peace with people whose goal in life is to destroy you. These efforts only gave birth to policies like the Oslo Accords, which turned out to be disastrous for Israel.

The schism, between the peace-wishers and the gimlet-eyed, is nothing new.

Despite its internal and external challenges, modern Israel remains stronger than ever. In 1969, then Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir said, “we have a secret weapon and our secret weapon is: no alternative.” The Jews will triumph over all their enemies – including the foxes in their vineyard. They always have.

When Yair Golan, an IDF reserve Major-General and former member of Israel’s parliament, falsely implies that the nation’s soldiers “kill babies as a hobby” in Gaza, something is serious amiss among Israel’s leaders at this critical time of an existential war.

Golan continued in his May 20 remarks, “[I]t is time to replace this government as soon as possible so that this war can also come to an end.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his cabinet colleagues and even his political opponents, were outraged at Golan’s “blood libel” against the heroic warriors of Israel, who for nearly two years, have been defending their country and sacrificing their lives for it. Nearly 900 Israeli soldiers have been killed so far in the war begun by Hamas on October 7, 2023,

There is little difference between Golan’s blood libel and the one that emanated from the radical, biased United Nations, which on May 21 falsely claimed that Israel was going to starve to death 14,000 Palestinian babies in Gaza in the following 48 hours.

Israel is behaving criminally again. It has once more turned its nose up at ‘humanitarian principles’. It is trampling even harder than usual all over international law. What inhuman act has the pariah state committed now? Brace yourselves: it is seeking to feed the people of Gaza.

This is the news that the Jewish State, in tandem with the US, has launched the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. Its aim is to get foodstuffs and other essentials to the benighted people of the war-ravaged Gaza Strip. You would think the activist class would be pleased at this news. They’ve been renting their garments for months over an alleged tyranny of famine in Gaza, which they say is the worst case of ‘urban starvation’ since ‘the siege of Leningrad’. Alas, you would be wrong. They hate this initiative. Why? Because Israel is behind it, and in their twisted minds, so addled by Israelophobia, everything Israel does is evil.

The haughty cynicism of the West’s Israel-haters in response to this humanitarian drive has been extraordinary. The foundation started its work yesterday. Truckloads of food were dispatched on day one. Many more are due this week. It is reported that Israel’s aim is to set up four secure distribution sites in central and southern Gaza. Israeli forces, assisted by private military contractors from the US, will oversee the safe provision of food to the neediest Gazans who have fled the fierce fighting in the north of the strip. Israel’s hope is that armed guards will deter Hamas from looting the aid and hawking it on the black market to boost the coffers of its fascistic war against the Jewish nation, as has happened many times in the past 18 months.

Given how dire things are in Gaza, after a year-and-a-half of this infernal war Hamas started, this should be cause for celebration. Gaza’s innocents are as much the victims of Hamas’s fascistic writ as Israelis are. Their dignity, and in many cases their lives, have been sacrificed by Gaza’s autocratic religious regime at the altar of its racist crusade against the Jews’ homeland. These people did not ask for their land to be made into a theatre for Hamas’s demented apocalyptic showdown with the Jews. They need relief, they need food. And yet, far from breathing a sigh of relief that many of them will now receive precisely that, the West’s legion Israelophobes are raging over Israel’s life-saving aid.

Why does this aid initiative feel ‘so problematic’, asks one headline? I can answer that: it’s because the Jewish State is spearheading it.

One of the most feckless acts of “compassion” for the victims of a conflict has been the West’s decades-long provision of food, medicines, and other aid to Palestinian Arabs living in the Gaza Strip. These in-kind and cash donations come with an enormous moral hazard.

By now everyone knows that indeed the bulk of such aid is stolen by Hamas terrorists, who sell the goods and use the money to line the pockets of Hamas officials, pay their fighters, reward their “martyrs” killed while slaughtering mostly civilian Israelis, and buy weapons and missiles fired indiscriminately at civilian targets.  These funds are on top of the billions provided by the UN–– nearly $4.5 billion just from 2014 to 2020––and billions more from EU and Muslim nations.

Given that moral hazard, Israel is planning to let the U.S. Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and the IDF distribute the aid, removing Hamas and the UN from participating. In a display of their hatred of Israel, the Wall Street Journal reports, “Canada, the U.K. and France threatened Israel on Monday with ‘concrete actions’ unless it halts military operations and facilitates more aid, which ‘must include engaging with the UN’”––which recently spread the blood libel that Israel is preparing to starve to death 14000 babies in Gaza. Hamas sent Turtle Bay and the three “liberal democracies” a note of thanks.

This spectacle of Western nations libeling and browbeating Israelis into financing an enemy sworn to their destruction, and who ruthlessly targets civilians, including children, is another shameful marker of the decline of the West, especially the Europeans who morally preen about their “conspicuous compassion,” as Alan Bloom called such self-serving actions.

But in fact, such displays are morally idiotic camouflage for Europe’s failure of nerve and despicable political hatred of the region’s only free democracy. The “international community” has treated Israel like a pariah for 77 years––especially the UN, which has formally condemned Israel more than all the world’s nations combined.
