WASHINGTON, D.C.–Since the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre to 1,400 Israeli citizens near the Gaza border, 260 young people attending the Nova Music Festival, the U.N. has feigned sympathy for innocent victims of the Hamas genocide But since Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared war on Hamas Oct. 8, every day that has gone by accompanies press releases from Hamas Ministry of Health talking only about Gaza casualties and the dire humanitarian conditions in Gaza, all caused by sustained Israeli bombardments of Hamas occupied areas primarily in North Gaza. But the narrative from the U.N. has not been about the brutality and unthinkable savagery of Hams but only on Israeli bombardments, reducing Gaza to a disastrous rubble. Not one Arab leader has said that Hamas can no longer rule the Gaza Strip because of its Nazi-like genocide on the Israeli people.
U.N. officials report to the press about Israeli occupiers a codename that Israel does not have a right to exist, demonstrating that Palestinian terrorists can commit any atrocity in the name of “resistance.” U.N. officials know that Hamas does not recognize Israel’s right to exist, in fact is chartered to destroy Israel and kill all Jews. Palestinian officials routine repeat the talking point the Israel forces Gaza to live in abject poverty, when Hamas has been at war with Israel since blind Shekh Ahmed Yassin founded Hamas in 1987, exactly 20 years after the 1967 Six Day War. Israel defeated a determined war of annihilation by Palestinians led by Palestine Liberation Organization [PLO] Yasser Arafat and six other Arab countries. When war ended June 14, 1967, Israel annexed the Gaza Strip from Egypt, West Bank from Jordan and Golan Heights from Syria, taking the territories as buffer zones.
Arabs living in the Holy Land, named Palestinians in 1964 by Arafat, created the narrative that Israel seized Palestinian lands, when, in fact, Palestinians held no sovereign territory in the Holy Land. Living primarily in the Gaza, the West Bank and Jordan, Palestinian claimed all Holy Land territory once Israel was given the British Mandate of Palestine in 1948, something the U.K. held from 1920 to 1948, after given sovereignty after WW I when the Ottoman Empire dissolved. For over 500 years Arabs, Jews and Christians, lived under Ottoman and then British rule. Only after Zionists took over the Holy Land in 1948 did Arabs claim the land was occupied by the new state of Israel. But for over 500 years, there were no complaints about Arabis living under Ottoman and British rule. Now the U.N. says that Israel occupies Palestinian lands, especially in the Gaza Strip and West Bank.
U.S. President Joe Biden, 80, correctly recognized that the Hamas massacre can no longer be tolerated as acceptable resistance against the Jewish State. Biden, in fact, now sees Hamas, a recognized terror organization, as an impediment to Mideast Peace. Over U.N. obejections, Biden has given Netanyahu the green light to end Hamas rule of Gaza. U.S. and Arab officials see Hamas as the legitimate Gaza authority, when they seized Gaza June 14, 2007 from West Bank-based Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas. Abbas did not have the military resources to remain control of Gaza, surrendering the territory since 2007. Every Hamas leader has vowed to destroy Israel, kill all Jews and return the Holy Land to Arab rule. Hamas has fought for disastrous wars and several uprisings with Israel, all ending the same way, with Gaza decimated by Israel.
Biden recognized that if there’s any hope of peace in in Holy Land, Hamas must be removed from power. Netanyahu has promised to end Hamas rule, eventually launching a ground invasion, once Israeli Defense Forces [IDF] completes its bombing campaign of Hamas targets. U.N. and media officials have called the Gaza war “retaliation” and “collective punishemnet” when in fact the war has to do with regime change. No know who will eventually rule Gaza if Netanyahu succeeds in getting rid of Hamas. When it comes to when Netanyahu will launch his ground invasion, it’s nut up to the U.N. or media to decide. IDF will decide when they have the best chance to destroying the elaborate network of tunnels and returning the 229 hostages held by Hamas. U.S. officials have been feverishly try to negotiate the release of American hostages in Gaza.
U.N. officials and Arab leaders try to change the Gaza narrative to blame Israeli for a humanitarian catastrophe. But Hamas engaged in genocide prompting Israel to take defensive measures to prevent another Jewish Holocaust. Since seizing Gaza in 2007, Hamas had every opportunity to make peace with Israel and improve economic ties. Yet Hamas rulers insist on only one thing: Destroying Israel and killing all Jews. So what does the U.S. or Arab states hope to happen with Israeli’s neighbor plotting the destruction of Israel. As long as Hamas rules Israel, it must face the consequences of waging war against Israel. If Hamas recognized Israel’s right to exist, engaged in peacemaking and negotiated better economic and cultural ties, Gaza would not be a disastes. Hamas has plundered Gaza’s resources in a futile effort to destroy Israel and kill all Jews.
