The West Should Stand with Israel
(European Conservative) Mick Hume - Since the Islamist terrorists of Hamas started the war with the antisemitic pogrom of Oct. 7, from the start, many turned the truth and moral judgement on its head to accuse Israel of committing genocide by waging war against the genuinely genocidal death cult of Hamas. Everything is now twisted to cast Israel in the role of bloodthirsty aggressor. Every lie broadcast by Hamas (aka "the Gaza health ministry") is repeated. Supposedly serious commentators repeat blatant blood libels about Israel deliberately shooting Palestinians queuing for food and "using starvation as a weapon of war." There is plenty of evidence to show that, in fact, Israel has done more than any army in history to limit civilian casualties, that Israel is probably the first nation at war to try to feed rather than starve its enemies, and that Hamas is ultimately to blame for all the suffering in Gaza. Indeed, unlike the Israelis, the Islamists really do have a policy of deliberately causing - and celebrating - the death of Palestinian civilians. Those who started the war with the slaughter of families and festival goers are being rewarded for it by supposed leaders of Western civilization. Thus Macron, Starmer and the rest are giving Hamas a prize for launching a pogrom, a reward for mass rapes, a bouquet for butchering Jews. Little wonder that Hamas announced soon afterwards that it has no interest in discussing any peace deal until Israel surrenders. The European elites have convinced themselves that they are on "the right side of history" by aiding Hamas in its jihad to reduce the number of Jewish states to nil. Whatever Western leaders might imagine, Islamists are not interested in any dream of a peaceful "two-state solution." Hamas demands one state, an Islamic caliphate "from the river to the sea." That means wiping the Israeli state off the map. To the elites who despise our own Western civilization, history and democracy, Israel is their hate figure because it dares to stand up and fight for its national sovereignty and people, and defend to the end the principles that the West has abandoned. We should make clear that, in the real world, we stand foursquare with the Israelis, not only in their demand for the return of the remaining hostages, but in their determination to do what is necessary to defeat Hamas.
