“Civilian” families, mommies and daddies, will and do happily send their children out to be suicide bombers. The number of civilians in Gaza who are not active supporters of the intended New Holocaust is miniscule. The children who are not given as martyrs will grow up to kill Jews. Total control of the population and especially in the schools is required for several generations before the population, if allowed to continue to live in Gaza, can be somewhat pacified.
I don’t disagree at all, especially with your statement “The number of civilians in Gaza who are not active supporters of the intended New Holocaust is miniscule.”
One of the most revealing books about this mindset in the Middle East is “Because They Hate: A Survivor of Islamic Terror Warns America” by Brigitte Gabriel.
She is a remarkable woman. She gave a talk at a Portuguese Club in my home town, an extremely small venue with probably 50 people, and even there, she had a great big armed body guard who stood an arms length away from her the entire time.
There is no doubt they would love someone to murder her. No doubt. She is stylish, good looking, extremely outspoken, and knows them intimately. Which they hate.
Her book “Because They Hate: A Survivor of Islamic Terror Warns America” is impactful, and a great read if you haven’t read it. It is remarkable that, as a Maronite Christian, she was fully immersed in the venomous hate of Jews and Israel that the Lebanese population she lived in...including the Christians indoctrinated everyone in.
She was a Christian, and had all of those terrible slanders indoctrinated in her as a young girl leading up to the 1975 civil war in Lebanon. The believed them, and was terrified of the Israelis.
She lived as a young girl with her parents in a bombed out wreck of a cellar for seven years when her mother was severely injured by a muslim artillery shell. Her only recourse was to take her mother over the border to Israel for help...the bloodthirsty, evil Jew Israelis that she hated.
What she found was people who took her in, cared for her mother, gave her food and clothes, and treated her as well as they treated each other. She was astonished to find that everything she had heard about them were lies.
It is quite a story. So, she understands them all too well.
So your statement is, I think spot on. Sadly.
What happened last month tells us that “Never Again” has been overridden by “Death to The Jews” and there seems to be a lot of people in this world who are just fine with that.
I have never understood anti-semitism. I just do not get it. All I can guess is that weak-minded people are susceptible to it.
