The \u200cIsraeli situation has some resemblance to August\u200b and September 2021, when\u2062 President Joe Biden\u2019s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan left Americans stranded in a country that\u2019s now ruled by \u200cthe Muslim fanatics of the Taliban.<\/p>\n<p>Amid that\u200c abysmal failure of\u200b American policy, Mills flew to Afghanistan to help <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-admin-called-taking-credit-afghanistan-rescue-lying\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">arrange the escape<\/a> \u2064 of an American woman \u200dand her three children.<\/p>\n<p>Of\u2064 course, any comparison between the U.S. humiliation in Afghanistan and\u2064 the war in Israel is going to \u2062be off base in many ways.<\/p>\n<p>Israel is a modern\u2063 democracy and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republican-evacuates-americans-out-of-israel-after-flying-to-war-torn-zone\/\" title=\"GOP Evacuates US Citizens from Israel Amidst Conflict\">technologically advanced\u2062 society<\/a>. Afghanistan is a backwater now in the grip of an Islamist theocracy that apparently thinks life was better in 670 A.D.<\/p>\n<p>In Afghanistan, the government\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watchdog-u-s-wasted-89-billion-on-currently-nonexistent-afghan-military\/\" title=\"Watchdog: U.S. Wasted  Billion on Currently Nonexistent Afghan Military\">armed forces collapsed<\/a> in the face of\u200c their \u200bfoes (or very possibly \u200cjoined them).<\/p>\n<p>In Israel, that isn\u2019t going \u200dto happen. The\u2062 Israel Defense Forces have spent\u2064 more than 75 years establishing themselves\u2064 as \u200da tenacious \u200dmilitary power, enabling\u200d the tiny Jewish state to survive since its 1948 founding as an island of freedom in a hostile sea of authoritarian Muslim enemies.<\/p>\n<p>And for\u200d Israel, there\u2019s really no \u200caccommodation possible \u200dwith the enemy. The Hamas terrorists who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/start-war-recapping-attacks-israel-past-weekend\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">launched the war<\/a> from the southern enclave of Gaza are dedicated to the destruction of the Jewish state.<\/p>\n<p>In the north, the terrorist group <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ap-hezbollah-bombards-israeli-positions-disputed-area-along-border-syrias-golan-heights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hezbollah<\/a>, which is likewise set on \u200deradicating Israel, rules the\u200b territory on the country\u2019s Lebanese border.\u200c To the east, the vicious regime of Syrian dictator Bashar Assad is supported by the \u2062terrorist state of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/lindsey-graham-calls-strikes-iran-hamas-crosses-red-line\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Iran<\/a>, which is probably Israel\u2019s \u200cmost dangerous enemy.<\/p>\n<p>The \u200bgoal of all of them \u2014 whether\u2064 terror group or\u200d terror-supporting government \u2014 is the destruction \u2063of Israel and the death of its Jewish \u200cpopulation. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/hamas-leader-explains-reasoning-behind-deadly-prisoner-captures-underway-israel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sheer barbarism<\/a> of the Hamas attack, \u2063with its murders, rapes and kidnappings, proved \u2062that beyond all doubt.<\/p>\n<p>And Mills proved that there are American lawmakers\u2062 willing to put themselves in harm\u2019s way when the\u2063 need arises.<\/p>\n<p>(It\u2019s\u200b worth noting that, according to\u200b <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2023\/10\/08\/israel-attack-goldman-booker-hamas-00120535\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Politico<\/a>, Democratic\u200b Sen.
