A Monstrous Conundrum in the Middle East
By Allan J. Feifer
Rather than be filled with joy that some of the hostages in Israel are released, I’m sick to my stomach at the monstrous nature and sheer audacity of the “deal.” Biden is squarely on the backs of the Israelis, who know better than to become handmaidens of Hamas. Dozens more, perhaps hundreds more of Israel’s soldiers and thousands more civilians in Gaza will be killed as a result of this “kindness.”
Seven-plus weeks into what history may eventually consider one of the most sadistic, cruel, and calculated terrorist events in world history, the Free World’s common sense will continue to be in question. Hamas could not win a straight-up fight with Israel. It would have been relatively easy to bring down holy hell on Gaza as an example to Iran and its proxies. But with the added dimension of hostages taken from Israel, Hamas should be credited (if that word can even be used) with one of the most audacious acts of asymmetric warfare we’ve ever witnessed. Examine for a moment the crazy reversal of priorities and strength we are witnessing:
Israel values life; Hamas does not.
Israel is a pluralistic, democratic country, and Hamas is a Hitler-like autocracy. Copies of Mein Kampf have been found in the tunnels under Gaza.
Israel grants the same rights and responsibilities to its Arab citizens, while Hamas kills Arab collaborators, whether Arab citizens in Israel, Gaza, or the West Bank.
Israel provides free advanced medical care for Arabs, from the West Bank, Gaza, and from within Israel. Hamas kills any Jews it gets its hands on and will often prevent its people from accessing hospitals and medical care in Israel.
Israel teaches its children (including Arabs) about the world at large and without hate. Hamas teaches the destruction of Israel and the Jews from birth. Watch this video here.
Israel is Western-facing and life-affirming. Hamas is a death cult.
