CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY OCTOBER 10, 2023
THE TERRORIST ATTACK ON ISRAEL LAST SATURDAY AND THE CONTINUED FIGHTING IS A MINI HOLOCAUST. HUNDREDS OF CIVILIANS HAVE BEEN MURDERED, INCLUDING WOMEN, CHILDREN, BABIES RIPPED FROM THEIR MOTHER’S ARMS, THE ELDERLY AND DISABLED. THOUSANDS HAVE BEEN WOUNDED, SOME SERIOUSLY. HOSTAGES, INCLUDING SOME AMERICANS, HAVE BEEN TAKEN.
WE’VE SEEN THIS PLAY BEFORE, BUT NOT ON THIS SCALE. HAMAS, WHICH IS FUNDED BY IRAN, WILL USE HOSTAGES AS SHIELDS AGAINST AN ISRAELI RESPONSE AND THEN CLAIM ISRAEL IS GUILTY OF WHAT THEY ARE GUILTY OF.
WHEN ISRAEL UNILATERALLY PULLED OUT OF GAZA IN 2005 AFTER ENORMOUS PRESSURE FROM THE U.S. AND EUROPE, I PREDICTED THE VACUUM WOULD BE FILLED BY HAMAS AND USED AS A TERRORIST BASE. IT DIDN’T TAKE A PROPHET TO FIGURE THAT OUT.
THE FICTION THAT A TWO-STATE SOLUTION IS THE ANSWER IS JUST THAT. FICTION. HAMAS AND OTHER TERRORIST GROUPS SAY THEY WANT A ONE-STATE SOLUTION, MEANING NO MORE ISRAEL AND NO MORE JEWS. IT IS A FOLLOW-THROUGH ON HITLER’S “FINAL SOLUTION.”
PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU SHOULD BE GIVEN A FREE HAND TO ERADICATE HAMAS, BUT EVEN IF HE IS SUCCESSFUL, MORE WILL FOLLOW. THAT’S BECAUSE THIS TERRORISM IS BASED ON THEIR FALSE RELIGION. THEY BELIEVE ALLAH HAS COMMANDED THEM TO DO WHAT THEY ARE DOING. THEY ARE SICK. DEADLY SICK. I’M CAL THOMAS.
As the horrific news from Israel continues to come, I keep remembering a certain British official from not so long ago…Neville Chamberlain
Mr. “Peace in Our Time,” who gave his approval to Hitler’s annexation of Czechoslovakia. He believe this act of appeasement would satisfy Hitler. The rest is history. When I read about our president and other leaders saying let’s make nice with these people (Hamas), the visage of this old Neville keeps coming to mind. The song refrain “When will they ever learn” seems appropriate when I hear Biden talking about concessions.
