The US can see its own future in Israel
American Thinker ^ | 8 Oct, 2023 | Eric Utter

When Israel is attacked, Joe Biden's administration blathers about restraint.

Knocking on heaven’s door.

The way things are going, that is what we all may be doing soon, whether we wish to or not. As if the Russia-Ukraine War, China threat, migrant crisis, rampant inflation, and surging crime rates weren’t enough, we now have a war in the Middle East, with thousands of innocents injured, captured, or dead. Perhaps worst of all, none of these things had to happen. (Israel has, on more than one occasion, offered the Palestinians a two-state solution — their own state — and has been rebuffed each time, because the latter are far more interested in wiping Israel off the map. Hence the latest attacks. True to form, the Biden administration has already essentially urged Israel not to defend itself. It seems to believe that, alone among nations, Ukraine has that right.)

But this is what does happen when a nation is distracted with lesser things and internal squabbles. This is what happens when you don’t have total control over your border. This is what happens when evil is rewarded, even if by your “friend(s).” This is what happens when your opponent or enemy doesn’t believe you will retaliate in a truly devastating fashion because it believes you to be worried about what others might think. And what those others may think is borne of some combination of naïveté, a lack of historical knowledge, and outright willingness to abet evil. Indeed, this is what is likely to occur when you are worried that some will view your response as “too strident,” “aggressive,” or “not commensurate.” (Don’t believe in the concept of good and evil? We’re all just the same? Ever hear of a Bible study group strapping bombs to their torsos...

Two decades and change after 9/11, this is what is coming to America in the near future. We are fighting among ourselves.

Our differences with Japan were settled with 2 bombs because the differences were irreconcilable. Looks like the same here. Gaza is a concentration camp because no one wants to be civilized. Think Chicago and Cabrini Greens.

They control it enough to intentionally erase it.

When the attack comes here it will be funded by the cartels as well as foreign enemies like China.

I thoroughly believe the Democrat party has been bought off by the cartels.

The U.S., Israel, and many other countries, want peace at any cost, which is why countries in the middle-east are getting funding to 'help their people'. But, that's a total distractions. The terrorists in the middle-east and elsewhere, know how to play the game to an end of getting what they want. We in the U.S. and even Israel, and many other countries, have been negotiating with good intents, but, not the enemy. The enemy has been playing us. In the last 20+ years (since 911), and especially in the last 7 or so years, we've been negotiating with terror states and terror groups. Meanwhile, the terrorists and terror states have been playing the distraction game, where they negotiate to get their funding (via Iran, for example), while they planned organized to do what they do best, and that's to terrorize 'their enemies', meaning Israel and the U.S.

While the U.S. and Israel were busy negotiating peace treaties, the enemy was planning and organizing. We were being duped into believing that the terrorists were changing their ways, and so, we helped them. We were being blinded by negotiations that took place between Israel and Saudi Arabia and other middle-east countries. Yet, none of those countries were going to change their ways. All of those countries want Israel wiped off the world map, and the U.S. to die as a country. Trust but verify was completely dead with our side. The enemy was using us, and Israel, while they planned and built up their resources, with the help of Iran and even other middle-east countries. The result is the attacks on Israel that killed over 600 and injured over 1,000 and hostage-taking.

FACT is and always has been, that you can't negotiate with terrorists, not even the 'less harmful' terrorists in Muslim countries. Negotiations with any of them always end up causing harm and destruction and deaths. So, we need to stop getting duped.

What really worries me now, after yesterday’s events, is what I have been concerned about for the last couple of years: a massive strike from a prepositioned army within our own borders. In Israel, maybe somewhere between 1000 and 2000 Paleoswinian terrorists were located inside Israel, and are responsible for much of the death, and mayhem, more than even the rockets that their fellow terrorists launched from Gaza. How many disciplined, military age, men have been seen crossing our borders, and how many do we not know about? We’ve had something like 7 million people cross the border just this year, so the idea that there might be 1 million infiltrators ready to strike as soon as they get the appropriate message on their cell phone now officially scares the crap out of me, especially since I am in a large city in south Texas… but the reality is that these people have been purposely spread all over the country by those who are running the Biden administration (because Grandpa Hairsniffer surely isn’t). Everywhere is a target, and at some unknown moment in the future, we may be subjected to the exact same thing (though I strongly suspect that said moment will be sometime within 24 hours of when Chyna decides to invade Taiwan, and the US announces that it is going to send troops and/or supplies to fight the PLA).

The two things that make us a bit better able to handle this than Israel how well-armed that the American public is, on balance, compared with the Israeli public (contrary to public perception, if an Israeli family has arms, it is usually one pistol. Except in the territories, it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, for the average Israeli citizen to have more than one firearm legally), and we have forewarning that such an action can occur because of what happened yesterday. The latter, of course, only helps us if our leadership actually does something to prevent or ameliorate such an event from occurring here, the odds of which are somewhere between slim to none with the present administration. Only if we are able to make it until late January 2025, and then only if Donald Trump becomes the next president, can we avoid this. Trump will definitely deport a lot of these people, Trump will also make it clear, in no uncertain terms, that if China and/or any other nation does anything similar in this country, they will get their ass nuked. As the article indicated, it is weakness that invites evil to strike because it views there being a possibility of total victory. When the forces of good are strong and willing to use that strength to fight evil, evil goes back to lurking in the shadows until its next opportunity. Love him or hate him, Trump is the only person capable of winning the presidency who can stop such an event from happening, but we have roughly 15 months of incredible vulnerability to exactly what happened to Israel yesterday (minus the rocket attacks - that one they can’t do here, not yet).

Gaza is a $#ithole. MBS is good for Saudi Arabia. He wants to modernize the country.

We are heading to a civil war that will Balkanize our country into 4 sections. Last night I started buying ammo and support equipment. I will be adding to my inventory on a quarterly basis. 2024 is going to be chaos in this country. Meet the press even said we are being led down the sewer. Unless Joe Biden is removed, it will be just like Israel.

Is it true that the Obama’s held a party celebrating Palestinian Independence last night?

The future of the West is sealed, and it has been sealed for decades. Demographics never stop, they are relentless. Imagine fighting WW II with half the country you leave behind wanting an insurrection… We are there.

The best we can hope for is that friends of Western culture will coalesce somewhere in the central US, parts of Canada… and fight for independence.

With the growing Islamic Cult population in the US, plus the current trend of progressives like AOL and her ilk, and the millions of military-age invaders crossing the open Mexican border, it is only a matter of time for attacks here in the US. Are we and will we be prepared? How many citizens actually go armed? And what about all of these unarmed crowds around the country, many intentional gun-free zones without armed security to protect the intentionally disarmed and defense folks?

The US is falling into the Apocalyptic profile. We have Pestilence/Covid, we have War/Ukraine and Israel, next is Famine. Marxist Dems have allowed into the Country 15 million more mouths to feed with projected shortages of the food supply. Then; Death.

MBS is good for Saudi Arabia.

Right now, nobody should be trusted. MBS is a distraction, and the enemy/terrorists support what he's doing, as a distraction. Peace in the middle-east is impossible. The enemy just knows power, and power is the only thing they respect. Military power against them has to be massive and unending. The enemy has to be eliminated before peace can be attained. Terrorists exist to get their way and only their way. The only way to deal with them is through military power that eliminates them.
