« Mid-Morning Art Thread | Main | Israel Attacks Hamas Leadership In Qatar, Killing the Terror Leaders Who Have Long Enjoyed Sanctuary In That Terror-Supporting State »

The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

Israel is going to be vilified no matter what. The world, but in particular the hard left and Europe (but I repeat myself), will never forgive the Jews for not being totally destroyed by the Holocaust, and then having the temerity to rebuild their ancestral nation! How dare they! And then go and protect themselves from the unceasing attacks from Islam and the Arab nations and terror organizations surrounding Israel? Just awful!

After spending 75 years trying to find some sort of accommodation with their enemies, including giving them a huge amount of land and allowing virulent terrorist organizations to flourish just over its border, Israel was awakened on October 7th, 2023. Even the large leftwing in Israeli politics is questioning their deeply held belief that Jews and Arabs/Muslims can live peacefully. Not enough, because they are evil leftists, but still...

Striking Hamas leadership in Qatar is an escalation, and a stark warning to Hamas and others that they are not safe, no matter where they hide.

IDF strikes Hamas leaders in Doha, Qatar

Reuters reports an explosion in the Qatara neighborhood of Doha, the capital of Qatar. The IDF shortly afterward confirmed that strikes were conducted in the city targeting the Hamas leadership in Qatar.

A thick smoke cloud was spotted rising over the city.

Doha is one of the cities that has repeatedly hosted Hamas officials outside of Gaza, including for negotiations with Israel.

The IDF stated: "The IDF and ISA conducted a precise strike targeting the senior leadership of the Hamas terrorist organization."

All of the billions of western money they stole from the oceans of aid that poured into Gaza wasn't enough to protect them from those pesky Jews and their high tech weaponry and surveillance and intelligence. Those luxury buildings 1,100 miles from the fighting could have been halfway around the word...it wouldn't have mattered.

This is a clear signal that condemnation from the bien pensant Jew-haters in the West does not matter when the survival of Israel and the Jewish people is in question.

As Golda Meir said:

If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we'd rather be alive and have the bad image.

Sadly, the West does not yet understand that we are in an existential battle ourselves! Islam is on the march, as it has been for 1,400 years. We are being invaded, and they are coming to conquer, not to assimilate. And Israel is the only Western country that is pushing back against Islam. It should be supported, or even ignored! But much of the West has decided that being on the side of head-chopping, women-hating 7th century savages over a pluralistic high-tech democracy makes some sort of sense.

And when Sharia arrives in London and Paris and Montreal, but Israelis are partying on the beach and enjoying their freedom, perhaps then the European elites will question their decisions!
