Now Hamas Wants a Truce. Here’s Why Israel Shouldn’t Give Them One.
PJ Media ^ | 10/10/23 | Robert Spencer

Posted on 10/10/2023 7:04:53 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

After brutally massacring over 600 Israelis and then suffering some retaliatory strikes from Israel, the bloodthirsty jihadis of Hamas now want a truce. The Israeli government is virtually certain to get immense pressure to agree to such a truce, but this is actually the last thing that Israel should do at this point.

Even before the magnitude of what Hamas perpetrated in Israel was fully known, calls for a ceasefire became a talking point. Leftist opinion makers from the ridiculous (Antony Blinken) to the absurd (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) began calling for a ceasefire so quickly that the Babylon Bee zinged them with a riotous headline: “Emperor Hirohito Calls For Ceasefire After Bombing Of Pearl Harbor.”

Just hours after the Hamas jihad massacres began, the U.S. Office of Palestinian Affairs tweeted an astonishingly tone-deaf statement: “We unequivocally condemn the attack of Hamas terrorists and the loss of life that has incurred. We urge all sides to refrain from violence and retaliatory attacks. Terror and violence solve nothing.” The Office deleted this tweet after people started to point out how monstrous it was to urge that Israel not retaliate after being hit with the most devastating attack in its history.

Despite this embarrassment, Secretary of State Antony Blinken tweeted Sunday that he had met with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan; he added, “I encouraged Türkiye’s advocacy for a cease-fire.” (Türkiye is the new official name of the country formerly known as Turkey; its proud government got tired of all the Thanksgiving bird jokes.)

Blinken later took that one down as well, but other leftists continued to call for a ceasefire at a time when that could only have meant that Hamas would hit Israel and Israel would do nothing in response.

Truce to these folks is just a time out, don’t shoot at me as I rearm and get reinforcments
. Doubt the Israelis are dumb enough to fall for it. Keep the pressure on the murderers till they run to their safe holes in other. Countries, then seal it up so they can’t come back.

AS I UNDERSTAND:

ISRAEL supplies FUEL/ POWER/ WATER/ FOOD to GAZA.

GAZA doesn’t supply this for itself.

SOOOOO—GAZA thinks it can destroy that supplier???

THAT IS REALLY STUPID.

Biden released $75 MILLION in “FOOD AID” to GAZA/Palestine.

There are 2.3 million people there.

$75 million divided by 2.3 million===$32.61 per person.

BETCHA it went into war weapons instead.

> At the bottom of all this evil is Islam. <

A truth that too many folks refuse to admit. And so a firestorm is coming.

As a side note, after Pearl Harbor FDR immediately recognized who the enemy was, and what was needed to be done. As a result, by the fall of 1945 Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan were finished. No more threats from them.

Contrast that with the behavior of George W. Bush after 9/11. “Islam is peace.” he said. We must nation-build, he said. Generations to come will pay for his foolishness.

WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR AMERICANS TO FINALLY DEMAND THE REMOVAL OF THE UN FROM OUR SOIL?

There are over 150 ‘members’ of the UN-—and the US provides over 67% of their operating costs.

WE ARE BEING FLEECED.

FDR knew Nazi Germany was a problem in 1939, but politically there was nothing he could do about it, other than to try to get as much aid to Britain as possible.

When the enemies of Israel are like the dust, and their habitation like the empty desert with no life and nothing but rubble, there will be peace.

To misquote Halsey, when we are through the language of Islam will only be spoken in hell. Then there will be peace.

Sure the same old game will be attempted. Why not? It’s always worked in the past. But I suspect this time is different. The savages have gone too far. There is no going back to the status quo ante. Gaza, as an independent entity ruled by a terror organization, will be no more. It will either be subsumed back as part of Israel or given to Egypt.
No more Hamas.

I pray that Netanyahu does stop just make Hamas realize that they screwed up time and kill everyone of them, then reclaim Gaza as Israeli property.

'The Queen's Gambit'

Hamas played a violent open on the chess board.

Now they're in their weak middle game and asking for a truce.

Israel needs to say NO and execute its end game.

“PALESTINE” is a figment of the MUSLIM imagination.
