Op-Ed: Israel-Hamas Conflict Persists, Pt 2

This is Part 2. Part 1 can be read‍ here.

Understanding the Muslim Palestinian Culture

As ‌I mentioned, I had the incredible ⁢opportunity to ⁣live in the West Bank for a period ​of time. During my ​stay, I immersed myself in the Muslim Palestinian culture, residing‍ with the locals in East⁢ Jerusalem and exploring various Muslim sites across ​Israel.

The ⁣differences between the ⁤Muslims with ‍Israeli‍ citizenship and those living in the West Bank are profound. The Palestinians in the West Bank harbor an unrelenting⁣ bitterness and fear towards Israel.

During⁤ my time in Nablus, the very⁤ headquarters⁢ of Hamas in Israel, I gained valuable insights into this conflict and witnessed firsthand how Muslim⁣ Palestinian leaders manipulate their people through fear and propaganda.⁣ Just turn ​on ⁣the news in ⁤the West Bank, and you’ll be bombarded with images of sorrow, anger, and endless ​strife. I witnessed all‍ of this with my own eyes.

In the Muslim Palestinian culture,⁢ if an individual⁢ in the West Bank or Gaza dares to challenge the status quo, to speak out against Hamas or the Palestine⁢ Liberation Organization, their⁤ family faces a terrifying obligation. According to ⁤their cultural norms, if a family⁣ member brings dishonor by, for example, marrying‌ a non-Muslim, it becomes the family’s duty to murder their own kin in order to restore their honor!

How can a culture so consumed ⁢by destruction and vengeance ever hope ⁤to change when the​ constant threat⁢ of murder and honor killings hangs over their ⁢heads? The entire culture has⁣ become entrenched in war and bitterness. This anger,⁣ fear, and hatred permeate every aspect of their lives in the West⁢ Bank and Gaza. Who can‌ bring peace to​ a​ people ruled by such evil and destruction?

Hamas ⁤Is the Head of ⁢the Snake

Unbelievable ⁢pressure is being exerted on​ Israel​ to cease⁤ its fighting with ⁣Hamas. Even our own CIA director recently​ visited Qatar in an attempt to persuade Israel‌ to agree to a‍ cease-fire ⁣— but only upon the release ​of‍ all their hostages.

While peace ⁢is⁢ undoubtedly a desirable ⁤outcome, the notion ​that a mere‌ “cease-fire” will bring‌ lasting peace is nothing more than a fantasy. Hamas will continue to rule over the West Bank and Gaza, and the people living there will ⁤remain trapped in a cycle of fear, constantly ​bombarded with​ hateful⁣ propaganda. It won’t be long⁣ before Hamas terrorists start ​plotting their‍ next attacks on Israel, rebuilding their underground fortresses, and amassing even more weapons. Even a ⁢child can see ‌this.

If the CIA, ⁣White House, UN, European Union, Arab​ League, and other⁤ entities‍ truly cared ​about​ the Muslim⁣ Palestinians,‍ they would take real action to ⁣solve the problem. Instead, the world⁢ continues to fund ‌Hamas⁢ and its terror operations. What on earth is ​wrong with these people?

How much suffering have the‌ citizens of Israel endured over the ⁢past‍ 80 years, while the⁢ nations enable the strife and war? How ⁤much have the Muslim Palestinian civilians suffered ‍under their oppressive regimes, yet⁤ the nations pour untold⁢ billions into Hamas ‍and other ⁤groups, ⁤perpetuating fear​ and generations of war and terrorism?

A Long-Term Solution?

The ⁢idea of⁢ a “two-state solution” is ⁣nothing‍ short of ⁣a joke. ‌While the Muslim Palestinians claim to want it, they actually ‌shy away​ from it out of⁢ fear ⁣of losing the free money they receive. Israel, on the⁤ other hand,⁢ does not want its enemies at⁣ its doorstep. A⁤ two-state solution for Israel would only ⁤mean more ⁣generations of war.

What ‌do the Muslim Palestinians chant? “From‍ the river ​to the sea, Palestine will be free!” Give them a nation‍ (which they have essentially had for 80 years), and they will create a state ⁤much like North ⁤Korea ‌— forever at⁤ war, always ready to ‌fight⁣ their neighbor. There is absolutely no rationale for ‍a two-state ⁣solution, and everyone ​in politics knows it.

Considering the recent massacre carried out by Hamas, I highly doubt we will find a long-term solution to this problem. It is⁣ alarming, to say the‌ least, that the world is not uniting ⁢against this⁤ evil, condemning every Hamas leader to life imprisonment for the murder of innocent elderly, women, ‍and children.

Instead of ⁣rallying against Hamas, the nations⁤ are directing their anger​ towards ​Israel. What has⁢ become of us? How has the world​ become so callous ​and devoid of reason?⁤ I am deeply ashamed ⁢of ⁤my own‍ nation and its⁣ leadership. I am ashamed that they are not ‌more vehemently denouncing Hamas for what it‌ truly is⁣ — a⁤ terrorist organization waging war against the people of Israel.

Many of‍ us around the world desire for the Muslim Palestinian people to have a better life. However, the recent actions of their leadership have only harmed their ⁢cause for years to come.

My‍ heart aches for ⁢the Israeli people who have endured this complex ‌conflict for so long. I grieve that there is no ⁣quick or easy solution. The paths ahead for Israel seem to involve⁢ more loss, sorrow, and suffering.

My message to Israelis is ⁤this: ‍Do not surrender an inch of your land. Rid‍ yourselves of ⁤Hamas and‌ every terrorist organization in the West Bank and Gaza. The time is now. ‌It will only become increasingly difficult in the years to come. You have prepared your​ nation for ​war, and⁤ now‍ you must rid‌ yourselves of the evil that has plagued you‍ for 80 years.

This is not a ⁢time to be afraid, but a time to take action swiftly. A long-term cease-fire is a terrible trap. The world ⁣will never come ‌to your aid ⁤as we all ⁤hoped. ⁣With or without the approval of the nations, Hamas must not be allowed to remain. Your enemies are ​watching. This war will persist​ whether you desire it or not.

Once ⁢Gaza is free ⁣from Hamas, you⁢ can begin the process ‍of liberating the Muslim Palestinian people from ⁤the terror they have endured for far too long. Perhaps some Arab nations will be willing to collaborate with you and ‍provide ‌refuge for their fellow Palestinians?

Imprison ⁤the criminals, bring the ⁣terrorists ‍to justice,⁣ stand against the evil that has permeated this culture for so long, and you will achieve a great⁢ victory! Alternatively, if you succumb ⁣to the ill-conceived plans of the nations, you will only ⁣know sorrow, terror, death, and‌ destruction for generations to come.

As they say, “carpe diem” — seize the day! When else will you have such⁤ an opportunity to⁢ free yourselves?

Countless⁢ individuals around the world are​ hoping and praying for​ you. Many are eager to support ⁣your cause ⁢of peace and freedom through volunteering, donations, prayers, and more. Do not be afraid! Your God is with you. He is the⁤ same ⁢Living God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob ‌who‌ fights for you even now!

We stand with Israel for victory and‌ peace!

Amen.

⁤Despite ⁣international indifference, how does the PAA garner support ⁣from allies who understand⁢ the ⁣challenges it faces, ‍and what impact does this​ support have on its efforts for peace in‌ Israel

Rrorist organization that seeks to destroy you. ‍Stand strong, defend your ⁣homeland, and never give up on the fight ​for peace and security. The world ‌may turn a blind eye, but know that there are those who ⁣stand with you, who ⁣understand the threats ⁢you face, and who will continue ​to support you. May you find⁢ strength and resilience in the face of adversity, and may a day come when peace finally prevails in the land of Israel.
