The Destroy Israel Crowd's Bloodlust

 The challenges between Israel and Palestinian Arabs include the fact that different people lay claim to the same small piece of land. If the land is divided into two states, peace is only achievable if there is the complete end of the conflict, and neither side makes any demands on the other. A two state solution means a Jewish majority Israel in one state, in which the Arab population has the same rights as the Jewish population, the nation remains a democracy, and an Arab majority in the other state.  A two state solution cannot be the recipe for further wars. If it can be achieved, it has to be the complete end of the conflict. 

A one state solution, only achievable if agreed upon by the different sides through peace and mutual acceptance, can be some kind of confederation or power sharing arrangement, in which both sides are invested in keeping the country stable, democratic and ultimately prosperous for all.  

Whatever the solution is to this long standing conflict, it can only come through mutual acceptance and toleration. Violence has achieved nothing. 

Gaza will have to be opened up. This densely populated enclave cannot be used as the launching pad for future wars. Whether a one state or two state solution is achieved, the people of Gaza will need freedom of movement. If  a two state solution is decided upon, a highway can be built connecting Gaza to the west bank.

There are a lot of people in the world that do not want this conflict to end peacefully. Looking at a map of the middle east and North Africa, it is easy to see that Israel is a tiny piece of land. Throughout the middle east and North Africa, there are many Islamic nations, most of which are Arab. There is room in the middle east, in the world, for one small Jewish state to exist in peace, with full rights for all its citizens, including Israeli Arabs. The never ending effort to seek Israel's annihilation has had disastrous consequences for all sides. The use of religion to keep the conflict going has to be resisted.

There are no other conflicts in the world where there is a determined effort to destroy a nation and commit genocide against its majority population. 

There has been over 70 years of war, terror and violence. There is no end in sight as the hatred, incitement, and calls for Israel's complete destruction continue unabated.

Many people that could care less about children, children dying in war, or anything about children or war and its victims, all of a sudden profess outrage whenever Israel is involved, including when Israel responds defensively to those attacking its civilian population. No matter how many people are slaughtered all over the world, all of it is ignored or disregarded if the killings cannot be used as propaganda against Israel. Murderers in the name of religion slaughter people by the hundreds and thousands daily. It is happening right now in Mozambique, Nigeria, Mali, Yemen, Libya, Mindanao, South Thailand, Afghanistan, Somalia, and many other places. Few if any care because human life has no value to an enormously large segment of humanity unless there is propaganda to be had against Israel.

Israel is an established nation. The struggle to destroy it means death, maiming and suffering on all sides. False Arguments against Jewish connections to the land, who are the Jewish people and more that are used to discredit Israel do not erase the fact that Israel is real and that its population is not willing to lie down and be slaughtered.

The never ending effort to demonize and delegitimize Israel, including by those who use the Palestinian Arab cause as a cover to disguise their hatred for Jews, condemns people to a never ending cycle of bloodshed, suffering and misery. 

There are those that argue that Israel is nothing but a colonial state occupied by invaders. Even if this argument were true, which it is not, then why do these hypocrites not condemn the lands on which many of them live? Arabs, Turks, Europeans and others invaded and colonized lands. Indigenous people in many places have been oppressed by dominant European, Arab and Ottoman empire conquerors. Yet there are no calls to destroy such places as Canada, The United States, Australia, and many other nations where indigenous people were displaced. 

More Jews were driven from their lands and homes throughout the middle east and North Africa than the number of Arabs that fled from what is now Israel during the 1948 war in which surrounding Arab nations attacked the newfound Jewish state. Jews have been ethnically cleansed throughout the middle east and North Africa. There were pogroms and massacres of Jews in Hebron, Iraq, Libya, Jerusalem, Egypt, Yemen, Algeria, and many other places in the years and decades before and/or after a Jewish state was established. 

People argue the narratives over and over, believing if they can discredit every claim Jews have to exist in their own nation, then the grounds are formed by which the state can be attacked, destroyed and for there to be genocide. 

For people that believe in God or Allah, instead of trying to destroy Israel, they should consider that Israel is God or Allah's will, and that Israel's destruction is not the will of Allah.  

In light of the very real threats that Israel faces, it is an accomplishment that it still functions as a flawed democracy instead of as an authoritarian repressive state. Other countries that face far less serious threats internally and externally respond with complete repression and loss of civil rights. 

Sane people, no matter which side they prefer in this conflict, must recognize at some point where this conflict is going. 

There is a genocidal movement that labels themselves a resistance, even though they are fascists that hate Jews and are trying to wipe out the Jews of Israel. There are many on the left, not just extreme right, that support the genocidal movement to annihilate the Jewish population of Israel.  

The genocidal movement has Israel surrounded. 

The recent war in Gaza was a small window for what is to come if war mongers prevail. Israel's enemies, including Iranian and Muslim Brotherhood proxy armies, Hamas and Islamic Jihad and others, thrive on bloody conflict in which civilians on their side are killed while they are busy trying to kill civilians on the Israeli side in order to gain propaganda points. Hamas and Islamic Jihad knew that children were going to die in Gaza from Israel's response to their rocket fire and from their own rockets that fell short of Israel. They knew that when they fired rockets and hid in tunnels the civilians of Gaza had no such protection. They knew that they would win the propaganda war by waging war from densely populated Gaza because Israel, not them, would be held responsible for civilian casualties. The civilians and children of Gaza mean nothing to  Hamas and Islamic Jihad. They openly declare their love for death and their desire for martyrdom, no matter how many civilians are murdered in order for them to fulfill their bloodlust and demented vision of what God or Allah wants. 

Those that support Hamas and Islamic Jihad are their enablers. They scream at Israel for harming children, while they support the organizations that deliberately harm children. They give a green light for the violent fanatics to keep the killing going.

If the trajectory continues with fanatical death seeking bloodthirsty fanatics being embraced, defended and emboldened, here is what comes next.

Hezbollah has hundreds of thousands of missiles and rockets directed at Israel. Iran has already said that Israel will be wiped off the map within the next several decades. Hezbollah is Iran's army in Lebanon. Lebanon is no longer a free and sovereign state. 

Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza and elsewhere, Iran in Lebanon with its Hezbollah army, Iran in Syria with proxy forces ready to attack Israel from that front,  and with many others eager to join the genocidal effort to wipe Israel from the map, a far bloodier war is imminent.

Hamas leaders, living the good life in the richest nation in the world, Qatar, want Gaza impoverished, militarized, and to be nothing more than a densely populated enclave with unprotected civilians above ground, and Hamas and Islamic Jihad safe in their tunnels and well stocked apartments below ground. Qatar is more than eager to import millions of underpaid foreign workers to do the labor in that pampered nation, and have others do the dying for them in the wars that they fund and encourage.

When hundreds of thousands of rockets and missiles start firing from Lebanon, Gaza and elsewhere towards Israel, there will not be hundreds of civilian deaths and children killed. The war that Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad and others seek; total war to destroy Israel, will result in the deaths and maiming of hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people.

Israel will fight back in the only way it can to survive. It will inflict massive damage on Lebanon, Gaza, and elsewhere where the rockets and missiles are firing from. 

Is the hatred for Jews and Israel so great that this outcome cannot be prevented? The war that is coming can still be prevented. The recent Gaza war was only a tiny example of the massive bloodshed that will come if there is full scale war.  Babies, children, old people, young people, civilian and soldiers will die needlessly on all sides.
