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.
Note that these posts do not 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. In reverse chronological order:

An excellent long-form interview / discussion with Brigitte Gabriel. In the first she asks a critical question: If Israel has this 45-odd-minute presentation of the atrocities captured from Hamas’ own terrorist cameras, why has it not been released? From what I understand, NOBODY who sees it comes away thinking that the attacks on Gaza are an overreaction on Israel’s part. I’ve seen snippets here and there and it’s obviously not the most graphic stuff – and even that makes my blood boil.

Another news site I just found – a slew of articles, like this one:
TOP OF THE FOLD
Israel’s area is a little more with the Golan Heights, but not much. From north to south it’s 424 km (263 miles) and at its widest it is 114 km (71 miles). It has NO “strategic depth”.
Note: I live in New Hampshire (duh). The area of NH is 24, 214 square km. For reference, Massachusetts is 27,340. Now, imagine being in NH and being surrounded by people who, to varying degrees, would love to see you wiped out as a political entity, and your people enslaved or killed. Some of those neighbors, say from Vermont, launch thousands of missiles at you in a year, and have been for years. How long would YOU put up with it?
‘They’re So Cruel’: How Oct. 7 Destroyed an Israeli Peace Activist’s Faith in the Palestinians (freebeacon.com) (link in the original; italics replaced by underlining; bolding added):
Lahav, a manager at a travel company, long participated in peace demonstrations. In recent years, she volunteered for an Israeli charity called Road to Recovery, driving Palestinian children from the border of the Gaza Strip, less than two miles from her home, to Israeli hospitals for life-saving medical care.
“We thought that Palestinians are good people. All they want is peace and prosperity,” Lahav told the Washington Free Beacon in an interview from a hotel in this Red Sea resort city where she and most of her community were temporarily relocated. “It’s just that Hamas is forcing them to be in this aggressive situation.”
When terrorists first shook the door of her safe room on Oct. 7, Lahav was sure that she and her 22-year-old daughter were about to be killed. But a makeshift lock she had fashioned out of an oar and a vacuum cleaner thwarted three separate break-in attempts. The women lay in the darkened room for about 10 hours listening to sounds of automatic gunfire and grenade explosions. At one point, they heard a group of teenagers robbing their house.
Later, Lahav learned from other Nir Oz survivors that Gazan women and children as young as 10 years old had followed Hamas terrorists into the kibbutz, looting, helping the armed terrorists, and apparently enjoying themselves.

Declining Temperatures – Liberty’s Torch (libertystorch.info)
Embedded quote:
“It seems that, back then, Islamic terrorists preferred to ransom infidel captives rather than kill them. They took quite a number of such captives, and for a while they received a great deal of money for them. One group that had made a pile kidnapping and ransoming Westerners decided to try the game on a Soviet agent. But the KGB didn’t respond the way their Western victims’ governments had. Instead it performed a counter-kidnapping of one of the group’s members, and returned him to his confreres in pieces, in a plastic bag. There was a note on the bag, in Russian and Arabic. It said, ‘This is the way we play.’ The kidnapped Soviet agent was back with his comrades within twenty-four hours, alive and whole. No Soviet agent was molested ever again.”
So… find the Hamas leaders, whisk them away, and not only do something similar, but enclose a CD with a video of them getting the Jack Pershing treatment while still alive (see link just below) before sending their remains to Gaza. MHO, pig p*n!ses sewn into their mouths would be a nice added touch. Perhaps with the testicles hanging out like they were engaged in f——o with the pig.

From a contact on Telegram (grammar and formatting changed):
They’re screaming: “we want the az adeen Al-Qassam battalions” (The millitary wing of the hamas…)
Rammalah is the Palestinian Authority’s capital in the west bank… Which has also postponed the elections in the west bank for the last 20 years out of fear that hamas would win the elections in the west bank too…
Again and again I ask: how do you live not just with neighbors that openly state they want you dead, but people ostensibly within your borders that say so?

An Israeli doctor – look what was found in a terror hideout (rumble.com)
So this doctor is pointing out that one of the documents found in a terror hideout full of weapons was a set of discharge papers for a Gazan boy treated for – and cured of – cancer in an Israeli hospital. It reminds me of an incident, over a decade ago so I can’t find a link, of a Gazan boy with a heart condition. As he was being operated on by Jews to save his life, his mother hoped he’d grow up to be a shahid and kill Jews. Said this in a TV interview literally as her son was in the operating room.

ATROCITIES

The Kedem-Simantov family. 💔
They were all slaughtered by Hamas terrorists on October 7. We will remember and not forget.

This is a short clip of a corpse on Oct. 7. Very graphic. This is a civilian. But remember, in Islam there are no civilians who are not Muslim. Any person – ANY PERSON – in a war with Islam is, by definition, a combatant from the “House of War” and therefore fair game. I don’t know how to say this more clearly, but they simply do not think like you do. Click on the link to view, but be warned.
Oct. 7 casualty; bloody and maimed.
On the sexual atrocities Hamas committed on Oct. 7 (substack.com) (italics replaced by underline):
Which is good, because the Times’s descriptions of these crimes nearly beggar belief. They go beyond rape, or gang rape, or even the execution of prisoners. As described by witnesses who survived, and confirmed by video and forensic evidence, Hamas’s attackers turned murder and torture into can-you-top-thissport:
And detailed descriptions of corpses and eye-witness accounts to rape and worse:

What Happened on October 7 | Power Line (powerlineblog.com)
Horrific. But while I deeply respect the tweeter here:
Perhaps the greatest mercy Israel is showing to Gaza is not releasing to the public the full details of what was done by the invaders to their victims. Ostensibly for the sensitivities of the families, but also I think because what populace would be able to restrain themselves?
I disagree, and concur with Brigitte above. The world needs to see these videos.

According to the report, the terrorist described in detail to his interrogators how the woman was raped and then murdered. The details even enabled Israeli authorities to identify the female victim.

We Have Abdicated Our Responsibility | Frontpage Mag
We deluded ourselves into believing that advocating for Muslim immigration from countries that export terrorism would be no threat to us. But we failed to realize that most of the immigrants coming from these Muslim countries have been taught since they were babies that the Jews are the sons of apes and pigs.
We allowed ourselves to become fragmented. We told ourselves that Tikun Olam is the most important thing above and beyond our own security. We told ourselves that supporting the Democratic Socialists of America and being Bernie Sanders supporters was okay despite their positions on Israel. We told ourselves it wasn’t a big deal that Linda Sarsour was one of the heads of the Women’s March.

One of the things that I recall from Brigitte Gabriel’s book Because They Hate was that Palestinian terrorists would rape a woman (or boy) and then say that the only way for them to protect their family’s honor would be to become a shahid and do a suicide attack… same with kids that are found to be gay. Threat of disclosure of their rape or their being homosexual to the wide world, shame on your entire family… or here’s your suicide vest. Other resources / info / links on honor killing:

The flip side of this is that no American Jew who supports his community, who values his heritage, can honestly call himself a leftist. This despite the fact that most American Jews (the ultra-orthodox excepted) were raised in liberal-left traditions. It’s a difficult thing to overturn the convictions of a lifetime, but it has to be done. As it stands, American Jews are in the ghastly position of collaborating with those out to destroy them

A CONCLUDING THOUGHT FOR THIS POST
On New Year’s Eve my family and I went to downtown Boston to my wife’s favorite restaurant. And, of course, the Gaza protests were there in Boston Common. Between the crowd gathered and chanting “Free free Palestine”! and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”! plus others wandering around or some in coffee shops with signs and patches, I’d estimate at least 100 people. Likely there were more – which is supported by the link below. More on the event:
In Chicago they are, per one source, cosplaying Gazans:
It was cold; not as cold as I’ve seen it but cold. So get this through to your core: these people are committed if they were out there for that long.
These are people that make calls and write letters. They do op-eds and Letters to the Editor. They write their elected officials at every level.
Write and call yourself:
Find your local paper and use my – and other – sources to write letters countering their narrative; after all, those who supply the information control what people think.
