Israeli tank on patrol.
Listen carefully people, because this is really getting old. And frankly, I’m growing weary of the argument.
To be clear, decent folks don’t want to see the kind of destruction and bloodshed we’re seeing in Gaza. But the unfortunate reality is that there is a war going on, and the State of Israel is responding to one of the most brutal and inhuman terrorist assaults on a sovereign nation in recent memory. In fact, and for some context, the final number of 1139 killed would be the equivalent of the deaths of near 50,000 Americans. Moreover, the savage butchery of October 7th, included the sadistic dismemberment and murders of more than 35 innocent children. Add in the macabre torture, rape and mutilation of many of the victims, as well as the 101 hostages believed still alive and held in secret underground locations beneath Gaza, can anyone fault the Israeli government for its response?
So when I read that this Dr. Thaer Ahmad character of MedGlobal walked out of a meeting with “President” Biden recently, stating he and many “Palestinian” Americans, as well as other Muslims and Arabs in his community, were “reeling” and “grieving” over what is going on in Gaza, I wanted to throw up. This doctor went on to say he wasn’t “satisfied” with the administration’s actions thus far concerning the war.
Ok, so I get it. But once again, this is war, and war in the 21st Century, where folks are watching in real time. No loss of life, especially those not directly related to the conflict is a good thing to be sure. But it will happen. And, when we consider the long standing ideological posture in Gaza, as well as their stated culture of unadulterated hatred for the Jewish people, demanding a sympathetic ear, and/or action unreasonable between military allies is nonsensical at best.
So if Ahmed truly wants an end to this nightmare, and if his motivations are as he says they are, then maybe he should go to Gaza and appeal to the Hamas terrorist leadership, as well as those sympathetic to their cause, and negotiate for the immediate release of the hostages and surrender of the criminal monsters responsible for the war crimes committed on October 7th of last year. I’m quite sure there would be an immediate end to hostilities. Ironically, I believe the good doctor is well aware of this. Short of that type of action or similar agreement, the war will go on until Israel achieves its goal of obliterating Hamas.
