Hamas' Razzia And The Gloves Coming Off

Been both busy at work, and too infuriated to post in a reasonable manner on the terrorist attack by Hamas.

I had many years ago, actually stayed and worked on, as part of trip for a couple weeks, at one of the Kibbutz, Nir Oz, that was attacked.

So far, thankfully most friends in Israel have checked in that they're ok, but they have told us they have both friends and relatives that are now missing. 

One friend has not replied  yet, which is worrisome, but I'm currently thinking positively and hoping it is just because he is now otherwise engaged in doing bad things to even worse people, and too busy. We'll go with that for now.

That the Biden administration's first reaction when the attack occurred was to call for restraint and a lack of retaliation was infuriating beyond measure, and thankfully reality struck them, and that insanity has now been walked back.

Hamas with their razzia just changed the entire nature of the conflict, and showed who they really are, a bunch of evil savages.   Their backers on social media and elsewhere are similarly showing exactly who they are too.

Certainly, their apologists and fellow-travelers in the USA are taking it on the chin, as it is really hard, even as they try, to  justify beheading babies, gang-raping women, and pouring gasoline on women and setting them ablaze to burn to death - while filming all of it. That would be because there is no justification for such acts.

In short, the raid has managed to get Israel to finally take the gloves off and hopefully they get the time and freedom of action to at least reestablish deterrence and at best wipe Hamas off the map.  

You cannot teach Hamas to obey the rules of war, you cannot teach them morality, you cannot teach them not to behead babies, rape women, or burn them alive.  

All you can do is teach them its unsafe to mess with you and yours and they will only understand that when the message is delivered in the most direct and violent way as possible.

Hamas' actions have hopefully removed at least some of the blinders from the Israeli left and indeed the world's left as to the nature of the savages and scum that they were supporting up to now. Hamas is simply doing exactly what they have always said they would do. Even as the left has always defended them and claimed in the face of Hamas' statements that they don't really mean what they say - they do.

Hamas delenda est.
