As we examine the complex dynamics of the Mideast, one undeniable truth stands out — Israel's mission must be to eradicate Hamas. The world and the homeland of the Jewish people, Israel, would undoubtedly be a safer place without the maliganacy that is the U.S. designated Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) Hamas, and their backers: the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Hamas is a radical political and military organization that has long been a harbinger of violence, instability, and unrest in the region. Their recent savage and barbaric actions have shown the world their true colors once and for all.
Hamas "leadership" has proven time and time again that they will never be a true partner for peace, just as their bosses in Tehran have shown us for decades, as their leaders chant for "Death to America, Death to Israel."
Hamas was founded in 1987 and they have consistently employed terrorist tactics, including suicide bombings and rocket attacks, causing immense suffering to both Israelis and Americans. This radical brand of violence has prevented any meaningful peace negotiations in the region.
Hamas has a history of diverting humanitarian aid from the UN and the U.S. directly to fund and assist their terrorist activities.
Furthermore, Hamas has turned water pipes into rocket shells and have even used hospitals and schools to store and launch their rockets.
They have used Palestinian children as human shields.
When the Islamic Republic of Iran gains strength from a military, diplomatic, and financial perspective, their terrorist proxies such as Hamas and Hezbollah have benefited the most from this.
Peace is most effectively achieved through strength and deterrence, not through appeasement or capitulation to terrorists.
How can Israel achieve peace when the founding charter document of Hamas is explicitly anti-Semitic, denying the legitimacy of the State of Israel and promoting a radical Islamist agenda?
The elimination of Hamas would not only serve the interests of Israel but also promote stability and security in the Mideast, benefiting the entire world at large.
Furthermore, it would deal a considerable blow to one of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s most powerful terrorist proxies.
In the United States, I've witnessed a lot of back and forth on whether Ayatollah Khamenei was involved with this.
On this component of the current struggle, there is no gray area: it's black and white.
The Islamic Republic provides monthly financial and military assistance to Hamas.
This funding helps the organization sustain its operations and carry out its activities, including rocket attacks on Israel, suicide bombings, and the bloody massacre that recently occurred on Sunday, Oct. 7, 2023.
Let me be clear — now is the time for the Israel Defense forces to end Hamas’s reign of terror forever. There should be no ceasefires. There should be no proportionate responses.
No, the IDF should eradicate the entire organization of Hamas and anyone providing any level of material support to them.
The world is anxiously watching what Israel does next.
Make no mistake, what Israel does at this juncture will reverberate globally.
With that said, Israel must not concern themselves with world, UN, or EU opinion.
We all know public opinion on the global stage is fickle.
The leaders and people of Israel need to ignore the noise and focus on the mission at hand: ending Hamas once and for all.
There are no other alternatives.
It's the only way to ensure the future of the Jewish homeland and of humankind.
America is praying that Hamas is crushed — once and for all.
