How the entire conflict could easily end
The reaction to the rescue of four Israeli hostages from Gaza is a microcosm of the past 70 years of this conflict. Every time Palestinians pay the price for acting out in some horrific, irrational, self-destructive, violent way, their defenders want to rewind history to a more convenient moment — this time to Oct. 6, 2023.
Sorry, that’s not how life works. Hamas, the chosen political entity of Gaza — the overwhelming choice of Palestinian civilians, in fact — launched this round of the conflict by massacring, sexually torturing and kidnapping Israelis whose only sin was attending a music festival. Palestinians took hundreds of these hostages back to the Gaza Strip — a place Arabs have political autonomy over for nearly 20 years — and held them in the middle of densely populated areas hoping to dissuade Israel from liberating them, or, if it did, to create as many martyrs as possible.
Critics of Israel now ask the usual dishonest question: Are four lives worth the alleged 200-plus Arabs who were lost rescuing them?
Israel is the only nation on earth that is tasked with protecting its own people and its enemies. Every innocent lost life is, of course, a tragedy. But if you don’t want to be placed in harm’s way, don’t hold hostages in your homes and neighborhoods, and don’t cheer and support a government that puts your life in constant danger for a lost cause. This is the reality of the world.
Now, if reports are correct, Hamas — and perhaps “civilians” (it’s difficult to tell because terrorists are often dressed as noncombatants) — opened fire on the rescuers. The Israelis, who do not indiscriminately target civilians, fired back, as they should. Whatever the specifics, every lost life is Hamas’ fault.
But, as always, it also needs to be stressed that the casualty numbers that are endlessly repeated by the establishment media are fiction — as everyone in those newsrooms is surely aware. So, we must assume outlets like The Washington Post and CNN — which also detestably contends that the hostages had been “released” — are fellow travelers. One BBC interviewer even asked an Israel Defense Forces spokesman if Israel had warned Palestinians of their sting operation.
Then again, even if there were over 200 dead, it is also surely the case that many of the dead were members of Hamas or holding hostages of their own volition or helping those holding hostages. Avoid doing so if you value your life.
The “Health Ministry” makes no distinction between terrorists and civilians, and in this case there might be little difference. Among those holding the Israelis hostage in their homes in Nuseirat, for instance, were a “journalist” (who apparently worked for Al Jazeera and the U.S.-based Palestine Chronicle, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit) and a “doctor.” The entire neighborhood was ostensibly under U.N. control. We already know that U.N. workers had likely participated in the Oct. 7 kidnappings and UNRWA schools are used by Hamas bases of operation.
Even now, there’s a (terrible) cease-fire deal on the table being pushed by President Joe Biden (still chumming for antisemitic votes) that Hamas continues to reject. Would we not expect the United States to act the same way as Israel if some homicidal cult had our people?
In the end, of course, this could all end today if the hostages were returned and Hamas would unconditionally surrender. Israel haters, who fashion themselves peaceniks, will blame everyone — Netanyahu, Biden, colonialism, racism, etc. — but the Islamists who are the cause of this war.
Then again, the entire conflict could end if the Palestinians would stop turning to nihilistic theocrats to lead them and accept Israel’s existence.
"Don't start nuthin', won't be nuthin'"
God has a plan ...and Hamas is not part of it. They are phonies who have no ownership of Israel, and God is going to protect his people.
And BTW..... Hamas wants to continue their Satanic plan....here ya go!

Dear Fakestinians, if you don’t want to be killed, stop lying about whose land it is you’re Occupying (read your Korans, Allah instructs you the he’s given it to the Jewish people), go home to Egypt and Arabia, make good lives for yourselves. And whatever you do, stop attacking and murdering and kidnapping and torturing innocent people. If you believe that you’re behaving as Allah wishes, you’re insane— you behave like Satan himself— somebody you’ll soon Reunite with in jahannam (Moslem Hell).
So... if you don’t want to be killed, don’t live in the same neighborhood as kidnappers.
Won't happen, it's a death cult. They only cry foul about "innocent" lives lost for publicity purposes.
I’m thinking of the Jewish girl in France who was gang raped by Palestinians/Islamists as ‘punishment’ for whatever sick reason they justify the act.
Countries that curse Israel will be cursed.
Precisely.
Hamas could end this all right now by releasing the rest of the hostages and coming clean about the ones who died.
Since they won't, they need to be ready to take the consequences.
Actually, they are behaving like Allah himself. Consider who Allah is. It's NOT God.
Yep, pretty simple strategy to staying alive peaceably- but palis want to murder and then have israel restrained from retaliating, and sadly our antisemite government worships Islam, and coddles muslim terrorists- and Hates Israel, so there will never be peace-
That same thinking led to the massacre at My Lai.
Hi
Understood
To the degree Moslems believe their Allah is the one true god (and the word derives from the Hebrew/ Semitic El, for whatever that may be worth) they should obey his instructions (and the term Islam means submission).
We learn that the fruit seldom falls very far from its tree. By the Islamic/ Fakestinian behavior, their tree is clearly and unequivocally Satan, not the true god- creator they defy with their lies, hate, bloodthirstiness, terrorism, Occupation and invasions of other peoples’ lands, and attacks on innocent Jews, Christians, Hindus, neatly everybody else. Pure evil. Not inspired at all by our loving Creator but just the opposite. It is so sad. So very very sad. But evil exists in this world and — at least for the present— these Moslems are it’s embodiment, Satan’s agents
“In the end, of course, this could all end today if the hostages were returned and Hamas would unconditionally surrender.”
Logic and Reason?
Cause and Effect?
As St Greta of Thunberg admonishes us, “How dare you!”
That’s abou the extent of it too- one of the terrorists called his mother and explained how many jews he had killed, and she was so proud of her little terrorist son-
I bet most Pali parents feel the same way- they are taught hatred and terrorism from very early ages.
From the river to the sea, it all cometh back to Me, through Israel, the apple of mine eye, saith the LORD.
“Are four lives worth the alleged 200-plus Arabs who were lost rescuing them?”
Actually the hostages are worth 50 times that. Hell, they’re worth 500 times that.
