In the dialogue about Hamas, the “Palestinians” and other groups, few are looking at the overlord of these groups. As former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett stated, we are not looking at the head of the snake, but the head of the octopus––Iran. Without Iran, none of the Islamic terror groups have any money or armaments with which to incite their terror. It should come as no surprise that Iran is a terror state, to which both Obama and the Biden administrations have provided billions for them to continue their assault on the West.
Make no mistake, there is little difference between Hamas, the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) or Hezbollah. They are genocidal maniacs whose mission is nothing more than the elimination of Israel, the only democratic state in the Middle East, with the bonus being the extermination of Jews––Holocaust number two. These terror groups promulgate Holocaust denial and have convinced a segment of the population in the West, especially the young, to accept it as fact. Similarly, they now deny Israel’s 9/11—the October 7 attack—claiming it to be a Jewish plot.
Israel is in a no-win situation. The slaughter of Israeli civilians in the most subhuman way was bad enough. Still, the moment that more than 200 people were kidnapped and taken to Gaza, Hamas had control of the situation. They are using kidnapped babies, children, mothers, fathers, and grandparents as pawns.
Now, with the trickle of released hostages, what do you think Hamas is doing? Hamas knows that Israel considers life to be precious. So, Israel has agreed to a ceasefire. These have been predictably followed by calls for extensions with more ceasefires. There is increasing pressure for a permanent truce from the Biden administration and the Europeans. Who does that help? Hamas, of course.
The differences in Israel’s region are pretty stark. You can have a civilized democracy with modernity as you have in Israel, where life is valued, or you can have theocracies and retrogressive societies where death is valued, where children have suicide bombing embedded in their psych through “education” from day one, with the paramount mission in life the elimination of Jews.
By offering up the deal of a lifetime – returning those whose lives have been upended by way of ending their freedom – Hamas believes they can now save their own skin by trading Israeli hostages for the cessation of hostilities. But who believes that Hamas will permanently lay down theirs? This is nothing more than a cat-and-mouse game, where the moment you complete the deal, a new round of terror begins with the hope that a new batch of Israelis won’t be taken hostage because if they are, we’re right back where we started.
If Hamas gets a reprieve, they win, and their cowardly leaders are tucked away in the safe and welcoming arms of Qatar.
The Comparison of Hamas To Nazi Germany.
Denazification was the process of removing Nazi ideology and influence from all forms of public life in defeated Germany. The occupying allies carried this process of Denazification in four major ways:
The Nazi Party was banned, and advocating National Socialist ideas was made punishable by death.
The Swastika symbol and other Nazi emblems were prohibited in public.
Germans were made to complete questionnaires about the extent of their involvement in Nazism.
Ex-Nazis were taken on tours of concentration camps or made to watch video clips of Jewish prisoners.
So, the only way to defeat totalitarian power is with more power. The Nazi regime was crushed, and yes, many civilians died; however, the Nazis brought it upon themselves. Where would we be today if we gave in to Nazi threats and appeased the peaceniks who were anti-war? You cannot defeat a warring entity without war. Then, you can get to the process of rebuilding and transformation.
The big difference between the Nazis and Islamic terrorist groups is that Germany before Hitler was a modern, cultured society with essentially Western values in the arts, sciences and societal freedoms. Entities like Hamas have no history of Western values or modernity. To these people, Western culture is a civilization to be destroyed and eliminated altogether. They don’t want agreements or compromises.
Iran, which is not even Arabic, aspires to destroy both Israel and the U.S. and is guilty of just about every human rights abuse that exists. Christians and Jews are held in contempt and jailed or killed with no human rights. Talk about an apartheid policy. If you’re a homosexual, forget about it; your fate will be to be thrown off a building.
No amount of suffering, death, or destruction will ever be enough for these terror groups until they kill all Jews anywhere in the world. Then, they are coming for the Christians and others who don’t submit to their ideology. Remember, Jihad means submission. Their hatred was revealed through the cameras strapped to the October 7 attackers. The world’s overwhelming political bias guarantees that the Islamic narrative will be widely disseminated and that groups like Hamas are victims. At the same time, the slaughtered Israeli citizens were perpetrators. Try to get your head around that logic.
The naivete of many in the West is stunning. You don’t even have to like Jews to understand that this is a fundamental fork in the road for humanity. One group, the Islamists, wants to take us down the path of devolution, disorder and chaos, while the other group, Western society, desires to evolve into higher states of order and synthesis.
There is some concern now that Netanyahu may be fluctuating and that maybe Israel will not eliminate Hamas as it promised to do. As the world demands a long-term ceasefire and Israel agrees in the name of getting all its hostages back, then Hamas, in effect, wins. At this point, if Hamas continues to exist, then it wins.
This scenario is a repeat of the 75-year history of Israel. Its enemies attack, it gets the upper hand. Then it is forced to accept a ceasefire with ongoing terrorist attacks, whether by gun, knife or rockets. Rinse and repeat.
The so-called civilized countries in the West, along with the press, are using an even-handed approach between Hamas and Israel. They downright support Hamas and Iran. So, if you appease terrorist groups, guess what you get more of? More terrorism. Iran and its subordinates see weakness and take advantage of it. They have also managed to infiltrate the echelons of Western governments.
We’ve seen that CIA operative who was outed promoting free Palestine on Twitter.

Then there is the chief of staff to the assistant secretary of Special Operations, who is obviously an Israel hater.

Amy McFadden, a decorated intelligence officer once responsible for overseeing the production of the all-important President’s Daily Brief, shared Palestinian propaganda on her Facebook page just two weeks after the Black Sabbath attack.
Israeli benevolence is also hurting its own self-interest.
Israeli doctors saved the life of Hamas leader, whom they now blame for the October 7 terrorist attacks, when he was in prison, reports say
It turns out that this charmer, Sinwar, who is a top Hamas leader in Gaza, was diagnosed with a terminal brain cancer diagnosis while in an Israeli prison on a life sentence.
Miraculously, an Israeli surgeon succeeded in removing his cancer, and he recovered.
In a prisoner exchange for one Israeli hostage in 2011, Gilad Shalit, Sinwar was released along with more than 1000 others. He was the mastermind of the October 7 attack. In the meantime, the doctor who cured his cancer said that his nephew is being held as a hostage by Hamas.
Will Israel continue to clear Hamas out of Gaza? Will history repeat?
There is only one solution. Hamas is a cancer in the body of humanity, and all of us have no choice but to demand its excision.
Thanks Ely. I enjoy reading your insightful comments on this terrible situation.
Good article. I agree with all of it. How do we stop this when those presidents and probably others keep giving to Iran and other nations who hate the west and its values? Many of the “leaders “ in our own government are perpetual criminals and when will they be prosecuted? 😤🙏😞
