Just One Thing: Good must defeat evil RIGHT NOW

It’s incredible what anti-Semites will say to justify the beheading of Israeli children by Hamas. Things like it’s apartheid” and “but both sides commit violence”. This isn’t complicated: Israel has never attacked Palestinian territory outside of defense or retaliation for an attack on Israel. NEVER. An Israeli has never cheered for the death of a Palestinian baby, nor has an Israeli ever gone into Gaza to murder civilians. NEVER. There is no both sides. There is good, and there is evil. Israel is good…which does not mean it’s perfect, and Hamas is evil. Good must destroy evil RIGHT NOW.

My note on Twitter today:

This is the worst thing you'll ever see:

In fact, as Ben Shapiro notes, if you watch this you will never be able to unsee some of the images of things that despite all you've ever read or heard about war and savagery, you probably didn't believe one person could actually do to another. This is why one Israeli general described Hamas as "human animals." (And as far as those tender souls who objected to that characterization, you know where they can go.)

I simultaneously encourage you to watch this and warn you not to.

If you do, not only will you never ever forgive Hamas (which no decent human would anyway) but you will also never forgive those who support them, cheer for them, or participate in "protests" and "rallies" for "the Palestinians", a term which, at this moment, means Hamas whether you like it or not. Hamas is not just a terrorist group hiding in Gaza. They are the government of Gaza. They should never have been allowed to be in such a position. They should never have been allowed to continue as an organization. But the peace-loving Israelis, pushed by spineless American leaders, soft anti-Semites in Europe and hard anti-Semites in the Arab world, opted not to excise the cancer of Hamas until it metastasized into something truly deadly, the excision of which now becomes simultaneously impossible to ignore and very difficult to achieve.

But achieve it they must.

Do (or don't) watch this video from Ben Shapiro and never again be fooled by arguments of those taken in by terrorist propaganda or the plaintive cries of anti-Zionists (who are ALWAYS anti-Semites). YOU must never again become a useful idiot wittingly or unwittingly supporting the greatest evil this world has ever seen, at least equal in every way except, so far, quantity of death, to Hitler's Nazis.

And one more...

One More Thing: I apologize a little bit to AOC

Yesterday, I kinda sorta lumped Rep Alexandria Ocasio Cortez in with the execrable anti-Semites Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Cori Bush. That was an error on my part. AOC seems to be one of the few congressional socialists who is not also anti-Semitic. Her comments about the war in Israel and against those protesting in favor of Hamas were good and I apologize for describing her as a fellow Jew-hater with those other women. That said, her call for a cease-fire is a moral failing, one being made by many others who may be well-intended but seem oblivious to the fact that the path they argue for is the path that brought us here.
