This is an attempt to “break out” memes, links, and my commentary about the situation in Israel / the Middle East so as to not overload the standard meme posts that I do. My last “normal” meme post. In these Israel-related posts I don’t just have memes such, but lots of informative links as well as hopefully-insightful commentary.
This is a long one. So much info flowing. Pick and choose and click at your discretion.
Note that this is not meant to be a day-by-day update about what’s going on. Rather, to highlight uncomfortable truths about the actual nature of the conflict, deep-history background, and so on, as well as to show the at-present immutable nature of Islamic hatred of Jews and why that matters to today’s events.
Note that these posts do not repeat information – so there is a lot of stuff in prior posts. Please do check them out too if this is a topic of interest to you. In reverse chronological order:

Israel’s New Website On Hamas Killings Has 43 Million Viewers in the First Week (jihadwatch.org)
Israel now has put the soul-searing evidence of the Hamas atrocities before the world, on a dedicated website. As the IDF soldiers manfully carry on, fighting against Hamas terrorists up and down the Strip, from Gaza City to Khan Yunis and all the way to the southernmost city of Rafah, including all the places in between where the IDF has located Hamas fighters and weapons. The creators of this admirable and terrible website are now fighting back against Hamas’ propaganda, to win, or in some cases win back, the hearts and minds of those who are in danger of forgetting what happened on October 7. Israel is now engaged in a on a different battlefield, pitting its truthful hasbara against the lies of Hamas. This is what may be called, in the Gaza War, the Jewish state’s indispensable second front.
Here’s that site. Bookmark it. Stare at it. Understand the enormity of what was done. And then share it widely.

A crazy story reported by the Israeli journalist Avishai Grinzaig:
On Friday in Khan Yunis, in the sector of one of the battalions in the 4th Brigade of the IDF.
Before a force from the battalion raided a certain point, they put a drone into the air after a suspicious figure was identified. In the drone they saw an elderly woman handcuffed to a bed.
After dispelling the suspicion of a deception incident by Hamas. The force went up to the apartment together with an Arabic-speaking investigator of the brigade.
They found a 75-year-old woman bound by her own hands and in very poor health.
The hands are very swollen, enlarge the picture and you will see. And the old woman was completely dehydrated.
While the doctor treated her, the division’s investigator asked her questions.
And she told them: her family fled from Khan Yunis to the south. Two Hamas operatives in IDF uniforms arrived, forcibly tied her to the bed and told her to say that the IDF did it. She lay like that tied to the bed for two days.
There are many more and monstrous and predatory cases of what Hamas is doing to the citizens of Gaza. They tie old women to a bed, attach explosives to old men, and other horrible things.
This is the evil of Hamas.
(HT Aussie Pilgrim)
And my comment on his post:
Remember, in Islam ANYONE who dies in the service of jihad is guaranteed entry to paradise. In their mind, by tying her to a bed and hoping she’d smear the IDF, they were summoning her to be a warrior for jihad.
An old woman who should be holding her grandchildren.

The blood libel at the Hague | Power Line (powerlineblog.com)
During multiple wars, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have done more to avoid civilian casualties than any other army in the world ever has. In Gaza, the IDF has provided advance warning to Palestinian civilians where it plans to fight, sending 7.2 million leaflets, 13.7 million texts, and making 15 million phone calls so far to help noncombatants avoid being used by Hamas as human shields.
So, to accuse the Israelis of genocide is a lie and a blood libel.
By contrast, Hamas is proudly genocidal. The Hamas Charter declares that “Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.”
Hamas instructs Muslims to “fight Jews and kill them.”

Understand the Islam – Left alliance; note his language – pure Communist at the end. The Left wants Israel’s destruction just as Islam does – and IMHO here’s why. Remember that Israel, as founded, was going to be a Socialist state. Perhaps not purely, but close. Over time, Israel moved towards free market capitalism – betrayal! Apostasy to The Lord Marx! More:

The best way to get all the hostages back is to keep the pressure on Hamas, which never should have kidnapped them in the first place. Perhaps that point should be kept foremost in mind in these discussions. Even the Gazans agree on that point — when they are allowed to express themselves.

Israel: Seeing Red (townhall.com)
I’d argue YES; the problem is that the war is not just being fought militarily, but in the minds of the world. And apparently losing in America:
Americans Overwhelmingly Support Israel Over Hamas: Poll (freebeacon.com)
Americans, but not their government:
It must be said: The US is helping Hamas survive, and survival is victory ~ Elder Of Ziyon – Israel News
Hamas’ strategy is to keep civilians between it and Israel. The US and the West are doing everything they can to help Hamas in that aim. And when civilians are killed, Israel is blamed.
For all of the weapons and ammunition that the US is sending Israel, it is not letting Israel win.

Israel Still Hasn’t Learned the Strategic Lessons of Oct 7 | Frontpage Mag
This is where the proposals for any kind of truce, let alone a proposed 2-month pause to the fighting in exchange for the hostages, are disastrous. We’ve already previously seen the consequences of giving Hamas any time to regroup. In exchange for the release of some hostages, Hamas was able to move other hostages and its military assets, regroup and launch new attacks.
Victory means pushing Hamas. The more breathing room the terrorists have, the more they can settle into a new routine of pop up attacks, studying and exploiting IDF patterns, scoring occasional victories, damaging morale and building up pressure for an Israeli withdrawal.

As you watch this video of some “civilians” shooting mortars, remember that this is a double-bonus. They shoot mortars at Israel hoping to kill Jews; if the shooters get splatted, Hamas claims civilian casualties because of their clothing.

Who is the ‘rabbi’ and ‘peace activist’ that cheered for Hamas on Oct. 7th? | World Israel News
“When I heard the initial reports of Hamas’ attacks on Israel this past Saturday, I will be completely honest – my first reaction was ‘good for them,’” Brant Rosen wrote in response to the Hamas attacks of October 7.
…
In his column, published at the People’s Voice (formerly the Communist Party’s Daily Worker), he claimed that “this latest violence did not occur in a vacuum. It is but the latest manifestation of an injustice that Israel has been perpetrating against the Palestinian people for decades.”

Antisemitism From the Left | Frontpage Mag
By failing to condemn antisemitism, politicians, academics and their media allies are doing our enemies’ bidding. One week ago, ISIS released a 67-minute diatribe calling for the destruction of Jews worldwide to avenge Israeli strikes against Gaza. The message was “kill them wherever you find them.”
Meanwhile, Jewish families privately talk at the dinner table about Anne Frank, hiding in attics, and where this new wave of antisemitism could lead.
Arm up. Get a gun, learn to use it. From a pro-gun Jew:
Obstinate Ignorance by David Bock – According To Hoyt
I’m also guessing she’s unaware of the story of 25 year old Inbar Lieberman, who distributed firearms to a dozen members of kibbutz Nir Am and coordinated a defense plan as the attacks were occurring. The defenders then used these firearms to kill at least 25 terrorists who had come to murder them. Ms Lieberman killed five of them herself.
As a result of this decision and her personal bravery, unlike every other kibbutz in the area, kibbutz Nir Am suffered no casualties in the attacks that cost so many lives elsewhere.
Laws that forbid the carrying of arms…(Spurious Quotation) | Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello
Laws that forbid the carrying of arms … disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed one.

The Domestic Terrorists of Tomorrow are Blocking Traffic Today | Frontpage Mag
Communist revolutionaries have exploited wars and food shortages to seize power, only to then inflict even worse wars and food shortages. Obama promised peace in the Middle East, an end to income inequality and the salvation of the planet. And all of these things only grew worse.
But following the Cloward-Piven model, leftists only make things worse. The purpose of leftist governments is to destroy countries by exacerbating every social, economic, geopolitical and cultural problem until they have brought societies to their knees and can seize total power.
Leftist protests, like the terrorists they support, are also not about fixing anything, but staging ugly hostile confrontations with police and the public to recruit the malicious and the disaffected (while playing the victim) and then escalating the violence and using it to take over a country.
…
A revolution requires people willing to kill. And so they need to be given reasons to kill. The ‘cause’ is the process of finding those willing to kill and giving them the reasons to do it.
It’s about destroying what WAS, so that they can create what (they think) WILL BE. Mao, as he was murdering 60+ million Chinese, called it The Four Olds. But however you call it, they plan to build paradise tomorrow by erasing the present today.
No matter the cost. After all, you have to break eggs to make an omelet, right?
