"Zionists" means "Jews."
Antisemites are advocating for the expulsion of Jews from medical schools. Unthinkable? Maybe. But note: There has been no deafening chorus from leaders of the medical profession insisting that they will never yield to Jew-hatred.
This is why I oppose a ceasefire and support destroying Hamas:
Deployment of violence by groups like Hamas (and Hezbollah) is not random, but carefully calculated. Whenever trust in peace is eroded, radicalization surges. Moderates (pro-peace) lose popular support, crazy Radicals become popular.
Hezbollah understood this and often used war with Israel to shore up its support and weaken its moderate opponents, and Hamas did the same. The biggest problem for radicals like Hamas and Hezbollah is that their popularity dips during peacetime because they are ill-equipped to govern.
It thus becomes in the best interest of Hamas and Hezbollah to make war a permanent feature, a lifestyle. That is why Hamas and Hezbollah will never win or lose. Their livelihood is war, which spells the death of their host nations, but guarantees their forever control of power.
I have two daughters and I won’t even let myself imagine how I’d feel if one of them were abducted by terrorists. I can’t comprehend the strength it took him to get out of bed, let alone go on TV. And yet, Gayle thought this would be the perfect time to talk politics. So cruel.
This is because the West has taught an entire generation of its children that the West is itself evil and ought to be destroyed. These are the wages of that pathetic lack of self-confidence.
This is gold. A Palestinian mother sees images online showing her son injured. She races to the hospital only to find it all fake. He is fine, it’s just an act mommy. It’s called Pallywood.
My dad, who is a moderate Muslim, finally expressed his concern and asked me, 'Why are you supporting this genocide?'
He mentioned that he's stopped looking at his phone because he can no longer bear to watch videos of Palestinian children being bombed by Israel.
I replied, 'I empathize with the suffering, and it's not easy for me either.'
Then I showed him a photo, and we both agreed on the gravity of the situation in Palestine.
I then informed him that the photo was actually of a Yemeni child pulled from the rubble resulting from a Saudi bombing in Yemen.
I pointed out that Israel has allegedly killed 7,000 Palestinians, while the Saudis have killed at least 150,000 Yemeni Muslims. Some estimates suggest upto 300,000.
How can we call the current conflict a 'genocide' when what the Saudis did is hardly even discussed by Muslims? Don’t get me started on 200,000 Muslims killed by Bashar Al Asad in Syria.
He responded that if that's the case, he also disagrees with what the Saudis did. I replied, 'How convenient. Nearly half a MILLION fellow Muslims have been killed by other Muslims, and you didn't even know about it. Yet when Israel retaliates against a terrorist organization that has killed, raped, and maimed 1,500 of its citizens, the whole Muslim world reacts?'
It seems to have less to do with preserving Muslim lives and more to do with a religious fantasy of hostility toward Jews.
