10/19 Links Pt1: The Biden administration must face it: Terrorism works; Press Must Be Held Accountable For Fake Gaza Story That Instigated Violence Worldwide

From Ian:

Maybe Shocked, But Not Surprised
I’m not surprised that every single Israeli action in response to the massacre has been billed by all the self-appointed experts as “violations of international law.” There has never been a single Israeli military action in my lifetime that wasn’t described this way. Concepts in international law generally have two usages: the standard one and the one applied to Israel. Forcible transfer, proportionality, blockade, targeting of civilians, occupation. The latter was suddenly redefined in 2005 to cover armies that aren’t actually occupying any land so that Israel could still be blamed for occupying Gaza, and this was just accepted by all the human rights organizations as Truth. It’s not surprising that in the years after that there was a concerted campaign to redefine “apartheid” to apply especially to Israel, and for years I have been warning everyone that the next one on the agenda was “genocide.”

And that’s why I wasn’t surprised when panels of experts began issuing urgent documents this week about “warning signs” that Israel was about to commit a genocide. This just days after actual Einsatzgruppen stormed into Israel and murdered over 1000 people, ideologically committed, by the actual official charter of the organization which sent them, to genocide.

I wasn’t surprised that campus radicals and assorted far left groups in the West cheered the massacre (nor was I surprised that some backtracked when it started interfering with their plans to join prestigious law firms and brokerage houses). The notion that Israelis are a unique and essential evil has been an article of faith in far-left theology for a long time. You don’t need to wait for violence to encounter it. People might oppose other countries’ policies. They might have more general critiques of another culture or way of life. But there is no other nation whose food, for example, is routinely described as some kind of crime. No other people whose language could be described as somehow illegitimate, as was the case in a leading left-wing journal a few months back.

And I wasn’t surprised at the anguish of the proud-to-be-ashamed crowd of Oedipal Jews who were shocked to discover their ideological comrades reveling in the murder of hundreds of Jews on an autumnal Saturday morning. Their inability to correctly assess the motivations of the anti-Israel obsessives they had partnered with at home matched only their inability to correctly assess the motivations of the terrorist group they were always lecturing us had actually moderated.

For all their furrowed brows and trendy glasses, this group never had a serious grasp on the situation in the middle east and were never really asked to. What they did have was two things that were the foundation of their entire con. First, an unquenchable need to be liked by the cool kids of the radical left, and second a distended feeling of superiority toward the Jewish community they came from.

The disappointment they felt could have been an opportunity to face the difficult questions of how they got it all so wrong. But true to form, the agonizing threads about left “losing its values” or just not being able to “handle” the discussion focused only on their feelings and not on the events that happened, the ideologies that motivated them, or how people who fashion themselves as pinnacles of sophistication could be so blindsided by reality in both southern Israel and Williamsburg.

Certainly absent from any of the indulgent online self-help was a reckoning with their own role in the intellectual ecosystem that produced the voices they came to be so shocked by. Most of them followed the same path from the Ivy League to a stint at the Haaretz English edition for some in-country cred to a sinecure at an anti-Israel foundation needing an expert with a Jewish-sounding name to churn out regular reports connecting any and all political developments to Israeli racism, or alternatively to one of the fashionable lefty journals who need a monthly feature on either Israel’s fallen morality or how powerful Americans who claim to care about antisemitism are actually up to something.

An entire generation of Israelis will begin their political consciousness from the morning roving bands of marauders raped, tortured, kidnapped, and murdered more than 1000 people in more than a dozen villages and towns. A politics that begins from the no doubt harrowing experience of being lied to at summer camp doesn’t merit being taken seriously anymore — and probably never did.
The Biden administration must face it: Terrorism works
Secretary of State Antony Blinken ordered his Office of Palestinian Affairs to delete the statement as soon as journalists began calling. “Terror and violence solve nothing,” it read. It was the usual State Department pabulum. Most statements nowadays are empty and formulaic, as easily written by a computer algorithm as a diplomat.

The notion that terrorism never works is a nice sentiment. The problem is it is not true. Indeed, Blinken later telephoned his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan to discuss a ceasefire. Given how Fidan was the mastermind behind the Turkey-Hamas nexus, this was akin to asking the arsonist to lead firefighting efforts. Blinken’s gut reaction was to reward terror.

Frankly, Blinken is not alone.

President Jimmy Carter rewarded Iranian revolutionaries with the Algiers Accords, a humiliating agreement not only to release funds to the hostage-takers but also to promise to remain aloof from Iran’s internal revolutionary politics.

Ronald Reagan criticized Carter without mercy during his 1980 campaign, but once in office, he was little better. His decision to withdraw Marine peacekeepers from Beirut in the face of Hezbollah terrorism not only handed Iran a huge victory on the shores of the Mediterranean but also inspired al Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden.

President Bill Clinton normalized rewarding terror. Under Clinton, Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams, the front man for the Irish Republican Army terror group, became the foreign politician to visit the White House most frequently. Clinton not only rewarded Palestine Liberation Organization Chairman Yasser Arafat with normalization, but he also pumped billions of dollars into Arafat’s coffers, even as intelligence flowed in showing the Palestinian “former” terrorist’s corruption and insincerity. It was under Clinton that terrorists embraced the formula: Terror plus patience will equal political concession and cash beyond our cause’s wildest imagination.

And so it continued under President George W. Bush. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice greenlighted Palestinian elections but did nothing to precondition them on the decommissioning of militias and terrorist groups. The message she sent: Ballot boxes bring legitimacy, but terrorism works if unable to persuade voters. Bush may have launched a war on terror, but Rice opened direct talks with Iran, allowing that rogue regime to leverage terror into concession. President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry simply took her opening and ran with it, adding billions of dollars in hostage ransoms and sanctions relief along the way, in effect making Iran’s decadeslong investment in terrorism and nuclear proliferation profitable.
Hamas is the enemy of the Palestinians
Every dead Palestinian is useful for Hamas. Just consider the explosion at the al-Alhi Arab hospital earlier this week. This was immediately held up by Hamas spokespeople as proof of Israeli war crimes. They claimed that 500 innocent people had died in the blast. Yet it now seems likely that Palestinian Islamic Jihad, another Islamist terror group, was responsible. All too often, rockets fired at Israel fall short of their targets and end up killing Gazans instead. But this is of no concern to Hamas, which can exploit and weaponise these deaths to its own abhorrent ends.

There is no question that Gazans have suffered greatly over the past two decades. But their oppression and exploitation has only benefitted Hamas’s leaders. They have happily reaped the rewards of their reign of terror, growing rich on their control of the Gazan black market, the largesse of their regional backers and no doubt some of the billions of dollars Gaza receives in international aid. Long-time Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh pledged to live on ‘olive oil and dried herbs’ after he led Hamas to victory at the 2006 Palestinian elections. In 2019, he shook off his asceticism and left Gaza to go on what Hamas announced was a ‘foreign tour’. He has never returned. The multibillionaire now lives in luxury in Qatar. As does some-time chairman of Hamas, Khaled Meshal. Meshal and his family, estimated to be worth something in the region of $2.5 billion, own a Doha real-estate firm, four residential towers and a 20-story mall. And all the while, the vast majority of Gazans live in extreme poverty.

Hamas is clearly corrupt, brutal and nasty. Yet we rarely hear much about just how vicious a regime Hamas runs, because Hamas also arrests, tortures and detains journalists. It is eager for the local and international press to carry stories and images of Gazans’ deaths at the hands of an Israeli missile. But less keen for the media to carry stories and images of its own treatment of Gazans.

That Hamas can treat Gazans so callously and brutally should not surprise us. Formed by the Muslim Brotherhood in 1987, Hamas does not share the interests of the Palestinian people. It is not concerned with establishing some form of Palestinian statehood, or securing rights and freedoms. No, its goals are near-enough apocalyptic – and genocidal.

Like the larger Islamist movement of which it is part, Hamas wants to wage war – perhaps the final war – against the Jews. It wants to destroy Israel, to cleanse the land of Jews ‘From the river to the sea’, as the slogan goes. ‘Our struggle against the Jews is very great and very serious’, reads one of the opening lines of Hamas’s 1988 founding charter. Hamas, it says, ‘is but one squadron that should be supported by more and more squadrons from this vast Arab and Islamic world, until the enemy [Israel] is vanquished and Allah’s victory is realised’.

This genocidal anti-Semitism doesn’t just pose a danger to Jews in Israel – it also makes any sort of political resolution of the Palestinian question near impossible. After all, how can Israelis be expected to make accommodations with a group that openly calls for their extinction? Meanwhile, the lives of the Palestinians are treated as mere fodder in this obscene, racist campaign.

And yet there are still many Western leftists proudly celebrating Hamas right now. There are many ‘radical’ academics cheering on Hamas’s pogrom of Jewish civilians as an act of resistance. And there are many poseurs flooding social media with Hamas-style anti-Zionism. These are not friends of the Gazans. They are friends of Hamas. And that makes them the enemies of the Palestinian people.


Democratic lies are endangering American lives
United States embassies throughout the Middle East were attacked Tuesday night after Hamas falsely claimed the Israel Defense Forces bombed a hospital in Gaza, killing 500 civilians.

Every part of the Hamas story was a lie: it was a rocket from inside Gaza aimed at Israel that caused the damage; a parking lot near a hospital, not the hospital itself, was hit; and nowhere near 500 people died.

In any armed conflict, it is rarely immediately clear who is responsible for what violence and how many people have been killed. But this is all the more reason that elected officials should exercise caution when sharing and promoting information from the battlefield.

That is not what Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) or Ilhan Omar (D-MN) did Tuesday after Hamas claimed Israel had targeted a civilian hospital in Gaza.

“Israel just bombed the Baptist Hospital killing 500 Palestinians (doctors, children, patients) just like that,” Tlaib said in a post on X that still has not been deleted as of this writing.

“Bombing a hospital is among the gravest of war crimes,” Omar added in another post that remains undeleted. “[Biden] needs to push for an immediate ceasefire to end this slaughter.”

Neither of these elected Democratic officials bothered to find out the truth or even listen to what the IDF had to say. Nor did they ask for any evidence from the terrorist organization to support the claims it was making. Instead, these two members of Congress immediately spread Hamas lies to promote their own political goals, which are remarkably similar to Hamas's.

The IDF responded to Hamas's claims quickly, posting first a denial, then more and more evidence that the explosion near the hospital was a misfired or malfunctioning rocket launched within Gaza and aimed at Israel. In other words, it wasn't fired by Israel but fired at Israel.

Tlaib and Omar were not the only ones to spread Hamas lies — the Associated Press, New York Times, and BBC, who are the usual suspects, did as well. But the reflexive falsehoods are worse coming from elected officials. They have a unique authority as part of the federal government, and that adds force to claims during war. Their decision to spread the Hamas lies undoubtedly contributed to the violence those lies then helped inspire throughout the Middle East.

U.S. embassies in Amman, Jordan; Baghdad, Iraq; Beirut, Lebanon; and Cairo, Egypt, were all attacked by violent mobs on Tuesday night as a direct result of Hamas's lies Tlaib and Omar helped spread.
Ex-Obama NLRB Counsel, 80 Professors Sign Petition Saying Hamas Atrocities are a Legit “Military Operation”
We bomb ISIS, yet we fund CUNY.

The City University of New York has been transformed from a public university that let poor kids get a good education and succeed. They boast about how many Nobel laureates they’ve produced, but those days are behind them. Instead, CUNY has become an antisemitic terrorist hellhole where over 80 faculty members are willing to sign on to a statement saying that the murder of elderly women and children, the rape of women and the kidnapping of children is a “military operation”.

The petition begins with…
“We, the undersigned CUNY staff and faculty, strongly object to Chancellor Félix Matos Rodríguez’s efforts to censure expressions of solidarity with the Palestinian people. In advance of anti-apartheid rallies planned on multiple campuses, the Chancellor claimed that the organizers would ‘glorify Saturday’s [Oct. 7] violence and celebrate the killings, injuries and capture of innocent people.’ This baseless, prejudicial statement reproduces the racist, Islamophobic rhetoric that has accompanied the drumbeat for war.”

And then the petition proves that the chancellor was right as it argues that…
“there is also no equivalence between the October 7 military operation by Hamas and the subsequent military attack by the Israeli state, and certainly no equivalence to the systemic and the violence of Israeli settler colonialism.”

A military operation aimed at massacring and kidnapping civilians.

Signatories to this pro-rape and pro-kidnapping children petition include Marc Lamont Hill, who had already previously exposed his support for kidnapping and killing Jewish teens.

Other signatories include Jonathan Buchsbaum, a media studies professor and author of “Cinema and the Sandinistas: Filmmaking in Revolutionary Nicaragua” (I believe he was the protagonist of a Charlie Kaufman novel), Anna Stetsenko, a “developmental psychologist” from Russia, and Ellen Dichner, the Chief Counsel to the Chairman of the National Labor Relations Board under the Obama administration.
Israeli forces prepare for extended military conflict in Gaza: 'This is something different'
The Israeli Defense Forces is taking steps to prepare for a significant military incursion into the Gaza Strip, a campaign unlike one the world has seen for decades.

It has called up 300,000 reservists, moved military equipment toward the border, and has already begun limited operations within the Gaza Strip, though it hasn't begun its ground incursion into the tiny enclave that is home to more than 2 million Palestinians.

"I think that we have to realize is that this is something different than what we've seen before in our lifetimes, right? And in the last 50 years, Israel declared war on Hamas," IDF spokesman Maj. Doron Spielman told the Washington Examiner. "This is a war. This is not a short-term operation. This is not a go in and go out type of operation."

Israel's objective, the first it has declared in decades, is to "demolish" Hamas, the predominant terror group based in Gaza that provoked the current state of affairs with an attack on the Jewish state earlier this month.

"This is something that the military leadership, chief of staff spokesman has said this is going to take time, it's going to need to be done thoroughly and therefore the mobilization of so many reservists and we have to remember, these are the same reservists," Spielman added. "Why are they motivated? Because for many of them, it's our own family. Israel is such a small place. We all know somebody was either unfortunately killed [or] taken hostage."

Many anticipated Israel's offensive into Gaza would begin last week following a 24-hour notice provided to the United Nations for an evacuation order.

"The fact that they haven't actually launched into the ground campaign I think is indicative of just how difficult the situation is for them. You know, complex terrain, the presence of hostages, the presence of lots of civilians, I think, is causing them to I think just take a little bit more cautious approach and then think their way through this because they're gonna have to deal with this, but it's kind of where we are right now," retired Gen. Joseph Votel, a former commander of U.S. Central Command, told the Washington Examiner.


Col Kemp: Israel at War

Biden says Palestinians ‘gotta learn how to shoot straight’ after hospital blast that killed about 500 people
President Biden told reporters Wednesday that Palestinian terrorists have “gotta learn how to shoot straight” — one day after an explosion outside a hospital in the Gaza Strip.

“I’m not suggesting that Hamas deliberately did it,” the president said at Ramstein Air Base in Germany en route back to Washington after visiting Israel earlier in the day.

“It’s that old thing: Gotta learn how to shoot straight,” Biden went on.

“It’s not the first time that Hamas has launched something that didn’t function very well.”

Hamas, which rules Gaza, claimed Tuesday that an Israeli airstrike killed about 500 people at the hospital — sparking riots across the Middle East and forcing Biden to scrap a planned summit with Arab leaders in Amman, Jordan — but the White House said Wednesday it had determined the explosion was caused by a misfire on the Palestinian side.

The Israeli government on Tuesday night blamed the Hamas-allied group Palestinian Islamic Jihad, publishing intercepted phone calls and other evidence to support the claim.

“I don’t know all the detail, but I do know the people at the Defense Department who I respect and the intelligence community that I respect, say it is highly improbable that Israel did that,” Biden said on Air Force One.


Can Israel Handle a War on Two Fronts?
To Israel's north, "Hizbullah is not actively, full-scale involved, but actively, below the threshold of war, trying to create distraction in order to relieve tensions over Gaza, using drones, exploiting the Hamas capabilities and the Palestinian capabilities to launch mortar attacks on the Iron Dome [missile defense system]."

"We have deployed all of our forces in order to be more prepared for, God forbid, another attack by special operatives from Hizbullah. We are fully ready for that kind of a scenario....In my opinion, we should secure the flank, but the main operational effort should be concentrated on Gaza."

Q: How do you take down Hamas without a horrific civilian toll?

Hayman: "We are trying to evacuate the massive, uninvolved civilian [population] from all of northern Gaza, and later on we can strike. We know where they are. We can strike with air power; we can maneuver to them; we can root out those major capabilities."

"We can prioritize what are the special capabilities we want to root out; for example, special operation capabilities, the aerial unit, the naval unit, the rocket unit - all of those elements that can target, and did target, Israeli civilians....The first element is crushing the military capabilities. The second element is removing Hamas."

Q: Do you think Hizbullah has the appetite to open a second front in the north?

Hayman: "I'm not sure that they have the appetite, but the opportunity may give them the appetite. If they see weakness, they see opportunity. Probably, Hizbullah thinks that they cannot sacrifice themselves for the Palestinians because their whole reason for existence is Iran, not Gaza."

Q: Is the IDF ready and equipped to handle a two-front war?

Hayman: "Yes, we can handle more than one front. We can handle even three fronts. But the military decision, victory, will not be simultaneous, but that's no problem. We can finish one and move to another; we have enough capabilities that can do that."

Khaled Abu Toameh: Hamas, Israel and the Hypocrisy of Arab and Muslim Leaders
Notably, some of the Arab and Muslim states and their leaders who are pointing the finger of blame at Israel have not hesitated to take punitive measures against Hamas when they themselves felt threatened... In the eyes of these rulers, it is fine for Arabs to punish Hamas, but it is not fine for Israel to respond to the worst atrocity ever committed against its citizens.

The Palestinian Authority (PA)... appears to have forgotten about the violent and bloody coup Hamas carried out in the summer of 2007. Then, Hamas killed and injured hundreds of PA loyalists, some of whom were tossed from rooftops of buildings throughout the Gaza Strip.

This is the same Abbas who is now afraid, or unwilling, to hold Hamas responsible for the outbreak of the war.... Abbas has good reason to avoid overt criticism of Hamas. He is aware of the pro-Hamas demonstrations in the West Bank... where demonstrators chanted slogans calling for toppling the Palestinian Authority leadership.

The Egyptians, Jordanians and Syrians, who are now condemning Israel for targeting Hamas, have not hesitated to confront Hamas when it threatened their national security.

In 2014, an Egyptian court declared Hamas, an off-shoot of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood organization, a "terrorist organization."

In 1999, Jordan, whose leaders have also refrained from denouncing Hamas's October 7 massacre of Israelis, expelled the terror group's political leaders from the country.

These rulers now find it awkward to come out against the same terrorists with whom they have been meeting.
Hamas: Genocidal Hatred and Jihad against All 'Unbelievers'
Hamas terrorists invaded Israel, near the Gaza Strip. They murdered hundreds of civilians, took hostages (including children and the elderly), beheaded babies, burned people alive, shot children in front of their parents, shot parents in front of their children, and fired thousands rockets and missiles into a country smaller than New Jersey.

As of this writing, Hamas has killed more than 1,400 people in Israel since October 7; wounded more than 4,200 people, and abducted 199 hostages who were taken to unknown locations in Gaza.

Hamas, a jihadist organization, has a charter that calls for the obliteration of Israel and the extermination of the Jewish people.

Even though there are now no Jews left in the Gaza Strip, that is not enough for Hamas. Backed by Iran, Turkey and Qatar, Hamas is now the main organization perpetrating terrorist attacks on civilian targets throughout Israel. On October 7, Hamas breached Israel's security barrier at the Gaza border with explosives and bulldozers, and thousands of Hamas terrorists poured into Israel, launching a massive war.

Hamas's aggression against Israel is not a squabble over land or "settlements." To Hamas and many Palestinians, the whole of Israel is one big settlement that needs to be ripped up by the roots and eradicated.

Meanwhile, the Palestinian-Arab leadership has rejected offers for a Palestinian state at least six times in the past 90 years, without so much as a counter-offer: in 1937, 1947, 1967, 2000, 2008 and in 2020. All the offers were made by or accepted by the Jews.

The reason for the current Palestinian-Arab statelessness is their own political leaders who have rejected all these offers and instead chosen war and terrorism over peaceful coexistence.

Seventy-five years after the establishment of the State of Israel, Muslim fanatics still hope to destroy it.
