The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

It's open season on Jews and Israel, and many in the oh-so-enlightened West are perfectly content to tolerate a second Holocaust if that's what it takes to pacify the terrorists in their midst. Canada, the UK, and France, the three biggest failures in the defense of Western culture and freedom, have hilariously attacked Israel's conduct toward the Arabs in Gaza; the same people who enthusiastically supported Hamas and participated in its savagery toward Israel. They have thrown on the mantle of international law, conveniently ignoring the reality of the Geneva Conventions, that state that Israel does not have any responsibility to provide humanitarian aid if it will be used by combatants.

UK, France, Canada threaten 'concrete actions' if Israel does not halt fighting, boost aid

The leaders of the United Kingdom, France, and Canada issue a joint statement condemning Israel's handling of the humanitarian situation in Gaza and calling on the Israeli government to immediately halt military action in the enclave and allow in aid, threatening "further concrete actions in response" if Israel refuses.

The three leaders -- the UK's Keir Starmer, France's Emmanuel Macron and Canada's Mark Carney -- call Israel's announcement yesterday to allow a limited amount of aid into Gaza "wholly inadequate" and say the country's failure to assist the Gazan civilian population "is unacceptable and risks breaching International Humanitarian Law."

Israel must engage with the United Nations "to ensure a return to delivery of aid in line with humanitarian principles," says the statement.

The countries also reject the prospect of "permanent forced displacement" of Gazan civilians, and rebuke members of the Israeli government for using "abhorrent language... threatening that, in their despair at the destruction of Gaza, civilians will start to relocate."

Where were these three appeasers when the pro-Palestine movement chanted "Globalize The Intifada" in their streets? Where were these three quislings when Jewish citizens were beaten and murdered? Where were these three cowards when the "Palestinians" were raping and torturing and murdering and kidnapping? Did they reject the premise of Palestinian statehood predicated on the destruction of the state of Israel?

No. They uttered platitudes and called for a ceasefire! But when those pesky Jews start winning...THAT'S when they preach about humanity and international law. Too bad they didn't do anything about their own governments funding the psychotic death-cult murderers of Hamas (and Islam).

The reality is that Israel is conducting herself according to its own rules, which are far more restrictive than the West's...and far more respectful of non-combatants, if they even exist in Gaza. The reality is that there is no starvation...no famine in Gaza.

But the damage is done. The disgusting support among many in the West has emboldened the virulently anti-Semitic, anti-Zionist, anti-Israel segments of the left: you know... all of it. They see Israel as the tip of the spear in the fight for Western civilization, and it must be brought to its knees! The bonus that they are Jews, who have been traditional targets of the left for 150 years is convenient. They would still hate Jews and Israel, but it's a two-fer when Israel is fighting those who have common cause with the socialists who yearn for the fall of Western civilization.

And their attitudes lead inexorably to this:

2 Israeli Embassy Staffers Killed in DC Shooting Near Jewish Museum

Smith identified the suspect as Elias Rodriguez, 30, of Chicago. She said the suspect was seen pacing outside the museum before the shooting.

Rodriguez walked into the museum after the shooting and was detained by event security, Smith said. He was chanting "Free Palestine, Free Palestine" when taken into custody, she said.

The suspect had no previous contact with police, she added.

He is a communist, and a member of the "Party For Socialism And Liberation," which 20 years ago split of from Workers of The World, presumably because they weren't violent enough.

Why did this man choose "Palestine" as an issue? He could have chosen a dozen different conflicts across the world. What is it about a defensive war conducted by the only Jewish country on earth that made him homicidal?

Ask the Three Cowards of The West. Maybe they will know. But in the meantime, they are responsible for the deaths of two Israelis.

Yaron and Sara named as victims in DC terror shooting

Yaron Lischinsky, Israeli Embassy employee, and girlfriend Sara Milgram identified as the victims of Thursday night's deadly shooting in Washington, DC. Lischinsky had purchased an engagement ring and planned to propose next week.

Were they combatants? Were they in uniform, bearing arms for Israel? Or were they unarmed civilians, the preferred targets of the globalist left and their partners, Islam?

Either way, the world is frustrated by the curious stubbornness of Israel and world Jewry to acquiesce in their own destruction. And as more of this comes to our shores, it is my most fervent hope that more American Jews take their defense into their own hands. Change the paradigm of the defenseless Jew; Israel has done this marvelously, and America will be fore-square behind the Jewish community if it takes off its blinders, accepts the danger of the left and of Islam, and arms and trains itself to defend Jewish religion and culture in America.
