They knew Jews would be busy \u200dat prayer and holiday observances, making the surprise that much worse.

Restraint entails, among other things, trying\u2062 to avoid killing civilians, and Hamas targets civilians. What spokesmen for Egypt, the UAE, Russia,\u2062 China, \u200dAustralia,\u200d South Africa, and the UN \u2064secretary-general have called for, then, is \u2064&#8221;restraint&#8221; in Israel&#8217;s response to the worst massacre of \u2064Jews\u2064 since \u2064the Nazi Holocaust. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her colleague Rep. Cori Bush used a still more offensive \u200cterm: &#8220;de-escalation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>These calls are not merely inappropriate and one-sided, but genuinely evil.\u200c This pogrom transpired precisely because Israel was pressured into listening \u2063to\u200c previous\u2062 calls for &#8220;restraint.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Think about it: Not once\u200c have world leaders called for restraint from Ukraine. History records no cries for de-escalation as British and American bombers reduced Dresden to rubble\u2062 while fighting the Nazis, allied forces pummeled Iraq, or American troops \u2064hunted Osama bin Laden. Nor should there have been. None\u2062 of the aforementioned world leaders or members of Congress call for restraint when fighting totalitarians or\u2062 terrorists \u2014 unless the victims are Jews.<\/p>\n<p>Tellingly, the documentary \u2062series &#8220;The Unauthorized History of the Vietnam War,&#8221; pillories President Lyndon Johnson&#8217;s war policy as &#8220;fatal restraint.&#8221; Restraint is how\u2062 you lose wars. Restraint is how you\u200d allow\u200d a vicious enemy, driven by hate, to rebuild its capabilities and learn new and crueler ways to inflict violence and terror.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-387c8740b12f2130b3f84b3e01d64803 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-6\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-387c8740b12f2130b3f84b3e01d64803\"><\/div>\n<h3>The \u2064Distorted Notion of &#8220;Proportionality&#8221;<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Here&#8217;s another word bound to \u200bcome up in the coming days: &#8220;proportionality.&#8221; A correct, moral &#8220;proportion&#8221; is for\u2062 every terrorist to be neutralized, with minimal \u200ccasualties among their intended civilian targets.<\/li>\n<li>Yet global media sources \u2063routinely denounce Israel for not permitting \u200bthe number \u200bof Jews killed to equal or exceed the number of terrorists and their supporters \u200bdispatched. It should sicken anyone with a functioning moral compass.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Actually, it <em>does<\/em> sicken anyone with a functioning moral compass. It&#8217;s just that you find precious \u2063few such people at MSNBC or The New York \u2064Times.<\/p>\n<h3>The Fallacy \u2064of the &#8220;Cycle\u2063 of Violence&#8221;<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>And a third\u2063 depraved clich\u00e9: &#8220;cycle of violence.&#8221; The only cycle here is that of Arab terrorists murdering \u200cJews, and Israel responding to protect its civilians. It is both repugnant\u2062 and ridiculous \u200bto portray\u2063 this \u200bas a two-sided battle. \u2063Was there\u200c a &#8220;cycle of violence&#8221; in the Warsaw Ghetto?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A famous Talmudic dictum from R&#8217; Elazar says\u2063 that one who is compassionate to\u200b the\u2064 cruel will, in the end, be cruel to the compassionate. This has immediate applicability \u2063when Hamas has, since 2006, had majority support in the moral sewer that is Gaza,\u2063 and Hamas has \u2064now taken the elderly, women, and\u200c toddlers captive \u2014 in addition to those raped, murdered, and dragged through the streets.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-e2b7c35e0b958130de001102836bb33c fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-10\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-e2b7c35e0b958130de001102836bb33c\"><\/div>\n<p>In \u200dthe \u200ccurrent situation, the innocent captives should be the next to cross the border between \u2063Israel\u200d and Gaza, safe and unharmed. To provide \u2062Gazans with not \u2062merely transit into Israel,\u200b but electricity, fuel, and even \u200bbasic supplies is not merely \u200dunacceptable, but reprehensible. It is the responsibility of Hamas, not Israel, to \u2064provide these things, and it is overdue for the populace to learn that support for \u200cgenocidal barbarians is\u200d not without costs.<\/p>\n<p>In actuality, \u200dit goes far beyond that. Israel made a \u200dhorrible mistake\u2064 in 2006 when it &#8220;disengaged&#8221; \u2064from Gaza, pulling thousands of Jews from their homes. The idea\u2063 of a peaceful Arab \u200bgovernment in that territory was pure delusion, and, of course, proponents insisted it would never be a\u2063 source of terror \u2014 and that Israel would re-occupy that territory if it were ever to attack. Israel repeatedly failed to do precisely that,\u2062 as Hamas and \u200dPalestinian Islamic Jihad repeatedly\u2064 launched unprovoked attacks from Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>Israel must fail \u200bno longer. Referring to Hamas, Netanyahu\u2064 claimed Israel will &#8220;defeat them to\u2063 the end,&#8221; but mollified this by saying Israel would destroy the &#8220;capabilities&#8221; of Hamas. No. The presence of Hamas alongside Israel places every Israeli civilian in \u200bjeopardy; it is far overdue for that danger to be\u2063 removed. Israel must utterly destroy\u2062 Hamas, and \u200cthis war cannot end \u200buntil \u2062the white flag of surrender flies \u200cfrom the pile of concrete that was \u2063once the Hamas center of operations.<\/p>\n<p>Anything else would be a moral failing of disastrous proportions,\u2064 one\u200c that will\u2064 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/why-calling-for-israels-restraint-is-depraved-and-offensive\/\" title=\"Calling for Israel's 'restraint' is immoral and disrespectful.\">surely\u2063 bring future horrors<\/a> in its wake.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-c030169167156b3fdcf816346eebb2ec fdrlst__b89e9-after-post-content\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-c030169167156b3fdcf816346eebb2ec\"><\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What\u2064 double standard do world leaders exhibit in their response to Israel&#8217;s defense\u200c compared to other \u200dnations combating terrorism?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  The streets as a show of their savagery. Yet, \u2062the world has the audacity \u200bto call for &#8220;restraint&#8221; from Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Let us be clear: Israel has the right to defend itself.

While they condemn Israel for defending itself, they remain silent when other nations use force to combat terrorism. This double standard must be exposed and condemned.<\/p>\n<p>We cannot allow political biases\u2063 to cloud our judgment or\u200c dictate our response \u200dto acts \u200dof terror. We must stand united in our support for Israel, in our condemnation of terrorism, and in our commitment to justice and peace.<\/p>\n<p>As we mourn the lives lost in this heinous attack on Israel, let us also remember the resilience\u2062 and strength of the Jewish people. Throughout history, they have faced persecution and adversity, yet they have always emerged stronger.\u200c This attack will not break their spirit or shake their resolve. Israel will rise above \u2063this evil and\u2064 continue to stand as a beacon \u200dof hope and freedom in the \u200bMiddle East.<\/p>\n<p>It is time for the world to stand with Israel, to support its right to defend itself, and to condemn the radical Islamic forces that seek to destroy it. Only through unity and unwavering determination can we defeat terrorism and ensure a peaceful future for all nations.<\/p>\n<p>May the victims of\u200b this attack rest in peace, and may Israel find the\u2062 strength to\u200b overcome this tragedy.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just like 50 years ago, radical Islamic forces attacked the world&#8217;s sole Jewish state during a Holy Day.
