This is an attempt to “break out” memes, links, and my commentary about the situation in Israel / the Middle East so as to not overload the standard meme posts that I do. My last “normal” meme post. In these Israel-related posts I don’t just have memes such, but lots of informative links as well as hopefully-insightful commentary.

Note that this is not meant to be a day-by-day update about what’s going on. Rather, to highlight uncomfortable truths about the actual nature of the conflict, deep-history background, and so on, as well as to show the at-present immutable nature of Islamic Jew hate and why that matters to today’s events.
Also note that these posts do not usually repeat information – so there is a lot of stuff in prior posts. Please do check them out too if this is a topic of interest to you:

Remember from prior posts: The Koran DEMANDS that any land, every square inch, that was once – ever – controlled by Islam must be reconquered for Islam. This, and a lot more, in this video; Robert Spencer has forgotten more about Islam and the Koran, etc., than most people ever knew:
The TRUTH About The War & Islam They’re Hiding (w/ Robert Spencer)
Note, in particular, the passage 2:191 “Drive them out from where they drove you out”, mentioned specifically early on. This is universally understood to mean – again, as I’ve been saying repeatedly over multiple posts – that there is a Koranic command that ANY LAND that was once held by Islam MUST BE retaken for Islam. Israel falls into this category.

Hamas Can Be Destroyed, but What about Islamic Supremacism? :: Middle East Forum (meforum.org)

The Red Cross’s Gaza Scandal – Seth Mandel, Commentary Magazine
Over the weekend the IDF released footage from al-Shifa hospital showing Hamas fighters bringing hostages to the medical compound on Oct. 7, the day of its bloody incursion into Israel. One hostage, an Israeli soldier, was likely killed there. Fighters dragging the hostages can be seen interacting freely with medical personnel at the hospital, in case anyone still tries to argue that hospital officials have plausible deniability. And as some have pointed out, there was no way for the hostages to get to Shifa without being taken past several other hospitals on the way, so they were not brought in for medical care.

Equity, Equality and Hamas – Daniel Greenfield / Sultan Knish articles
The moral DNA of society was completely rewritten so that everything from freedom of expression to the value of human life had to be weighed in terms of identity politics. Even the most basic moral questions came down to the paradigms of oppressor and oppressed. Right and wrong were determined purely in terms of ‘punching up’ or ‘punching down’.
“Is it wrong to murder, rape and kidnap people?” was a question to which the answer was no longer “yes”, but “were the victims or the killers members of an oppressed group?”

For the IDF, It’s Going to be a Long Slog Uncovering Tunnels Under Shifa Hospital (jihadwatch.org)
But the convincing proof has already been given. The media just refuses to consider it sufficient. The dozens of AK-47s, the grenades, the piles of ammunition, the soldiers’ uniforms, and more uncovered every day, all testify to a Hamas presence inside the hospital. So do the recently revealed CCTV videos of Hamas soldiers bringing hostages into the hospital. So does the discovery, on November 19, of the entry, inside the hospital, to one of the largest Hamas tunnels so far uncovered anywhere in Gaza — it is 55 meters long. To those with anti-Israel animus, all this mounting evidence is treated as unconvincing; the tone seems to be “you’d better come up with a lot more than that, if you expect us to believe you.”
It never ceases to amaze me that people who scrutinize every single image or video or statement released by Israel – examined with a microscope – accept at face value the press releases and data released by a people whose religion says that it is acceptable to lie.

Jews Outside Israel – Protect Yourselves (amyisroelchai.com)
While this post has an open call to make aliyah, there’s a message there as well for Jews everywhere:
A dear friend of mine told me that last Shabbat, a group of 20 pro-Hamas demonstrators stood outside one of the biggest shuls in London with signs – in Arabic – that said, “Kill the Jews”. My response to him was very clear. Find 30 tough Jews to make sure those protestors can’t walk for 6 months because if not, the 20 protestors will turn into 100 rock-throwing rioters who will eventually burn the shul down. Now is the time to act!
I take no joy in saying this, but FORCE and VIOLENCE are the only language these people understand.
“War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen, and I say let us give them all they want.”
― William Tecumseh Sherman
I know… “Team Humanity”. Well, when someone says they want to kill all Jews and sweep on to enslaving the world entire, I have the moral courage to take them at their word.
“Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and their freedoms”

Well, duh. You are a moron if you accept anything from Hamas, a legit terrorist organization.
Just how long is it going to take American Jews to grasp that the Democrats, no matter how much they voice support for Israel, are really backing the Islam contingent? Why? Votes.

This guy was pro-Iran from the very beginning. And it says a lot that he was chosen for the position he’s in.
The puzzling thing is that throughout his career, Malley has been so pro-Iran, so pro-Hamas, and so anti-Israel that the wonder is: “Why is this just now becoming news?”
Malley has been consistent in supporting America’s Middle East adversaries throughout his government and think tank service.

A CONCLUDING THOUGHT FOR THIS POST
Despite all the evidence I’ve compiled over all these posts that the Islamists in Gaza view Israel only as a stepping-off point to global jihad against all kaffirs… articles, references, websites, etc., there are so many many people who simply will not accept at face value that this could be true.
Note that I have no special knowledge of the Koran or of Islam, aside from what I’ve been compelled to learn over the past few years, and especially the last several weeks. No, just a healthy sense of curiosity. So how is it that amateur me can learn all this, but professional journalists… let alone whole news organizations… cannot do so.
There is, I believe, a blindness in humanity towards seeing the bad in people. It represents an unwillingness to consider you might have been fooled.
It’s often said One subject, two Jews, you’ll get three opinions in four minutes. Or some variation of the same. And often non-Jews as well. And that’s fair – people see different news sources, etc., and come to different conclusions. But there’s something pathological in the rejection of veritable avalanches of the rapes, and beatings, and murders. Eye-witness testimony. Security camera footage. Bodycam footage from the terrorists themselves. And their plain-spoken words about killing Jews and world conquest. And still people can’t come to admit it. These deniers are TWENTY-NINERS (bolding in original, italics replaced by underlining):
Hence my term, “Twenty-Niners”. People who cannot grasp that anything that could radically change the situation in which they live are actual possibilities, and completely dismiss concerns that others present even when backed by evidence.
This is a real danger. I wrote about the decay of the survival instinct in the first of my three-part series on the biological roots of civilizational collapse (for reference, Part 2 and Part 3). Survival demands threat recognition. Muslims all over the world openly speak of global conquest. Muslims openly speak that rape of kaffir women is permitted.
I have the moral courage to take them at their word. Why is this so difficult? Or are we at this point, observed by Teddy Roosevelt?
“THE CURSE OF EVERY ANCIENT CIVILIZATION WAS THAT ITS MEN IN THE END BECAME UNABLE TO FIGHT. MATERIALISM, LUXURY, SAFETY, EVEN SOMETIMES AN ALMOST MODERN SENTIMENTALITY, WEAKENED THE FIBRE OF EACH CIVILIZED RACE IN TURN; EACH BECAME IN THE END A NATION OF PACIFISTS, AND THEN EACH WAS TRODDEN UNDER FOOT BY SOME RUDER PEOPLE THAT HAD KEPT THE VIRILE FIGHTING POWER THE LACK OF WHICH MAKES ALL OTHER VIRTUES USELESS AND SOMETIMES EVEN HARMFUL.”
— PRESIDENT THEODORE “TEDDY” ROOSEVELT
Will Islam and the seemingly-unending streams of migrants from Arab and African countries prove to be that ruder people that treads us underfoot? If so, it will largely be by our own doing. Alas.
