Hamas’s New Friend in the White House

The 20th century and early 21st century are remarkable for the large number of terrorist organizations arising during these years.  They include not only those most recently in the news — Hamas and Hezbollah — but also the Baader-Meinhof Gang (Germany), the Japanese Red Army, the Weathermen (U.S.), the Red Brigades (Italy), Black September (Arab), Timothy McVeigh and others.  What they all have in common is a willingness to extinguish human life to achieve some purported political objective.  Typically, terrorists don’t much care if they happen to kill babies and toddlers.  For example, Timothy McVeigh described the death of infants and children in a child care center in the Oklahoma City federal building that he destroyed as “collateral damage.”

But all terrorist groups are not created equal.  Some are clearly far more barbaric and savage than others.  Although the more mellow terrorists feel themselves to be free to murder children and infants along with adults, even they appear to be reluctant to intentionally target children.  For example, there is no recorded instance of the Baader-Meinhof Gang or the Red Brigades bombing a kindergarten class.

During the last six months, the terrorist organization Hamas has proven itself to be the most savage, barbaric, ruthless and evil terrorist organization the world has yet seen.  Hamas’s totally unprovoked October 7 attack on Israel included not just the rape and murder of civilians, but also putting innocent young babies into ovens and burning them alive — all for the crime of being Jewish. 

After Black September murdered Israeli Olympic athletes in 1972, the State of Israel hunted down and killed each and every participant in that atrocity.  This action was completely justified.  After Hamas murdered thousands of Israelis on October 7, 2023, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu made it an objective of the State of Israel to ideally eliminate but in any event greatly degrade Hamas’s ability and capacity to subject Israel’s population to further atrocities.  This action is also completely justified.

Hamas is currently holding United States of America citizens as hostages.  One would think that this fact, along with the incredible savagery and brutality of the October 7 attack, would have led the Biden Administration to encourage Prime Minister Netanyahu to do everything in his power to rid the world of Hamas.  Clearly, Hamas’s members and adherents are miscreants who have no place in this world or the next.  A world without Hamas would be a far better world.

Incredibly — and most unfortunately — President Biden has completely lost whatever moral compass he may originally ever have had and appears to have chosen up sides in favor of Hamas.  Through Senator Chuck Schumer (with whom Biden has said he agrees), Netanyahu has been called an impediment to peace.   It has been suggested that Israel hold a new election so that this “impediment to peace” can be removed from office and replaced with a more Hamas-friendly politician.  Get rid of the guy who is winning the war for Israel and ridding the world of the most savage and brutal terrorists it has ever known and replace him with someone willing to disregard the October 7 barbarity and make peace with those committed to Israel’s destruction (“from the river to the sea”).

Imagine that. Imagine if in 1940 President Franklin Delano Roosevelt had called for the British people to oust Winston Churchill and replace him with a new prime minister more friendly to Hitler.

The conservative media has alleged that Biden is siding with Hamas in order to curry favor with Arab-Americans in the must-win states of Michigan and Minnesota.  And what happens if the American hostages end up dead in all this?  Biden probably would call it “collateral damage.”  As Lenin said, you can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.

One can imagine Hamas operatives sitting in their tunnels and rubbing their hands with glee upon hearing that the Biden Administration is now urging Israel to jettison Netanyahu, Hamas’s most formidable enemy.  One can also hope that the good people of Israel will have the common sense of retaining in office the great Israeli patriot who is leading them to victory over some of the worst people ever to inhabit this planet.
