The Difference Between Hamas And ISIS

 Courage is not about something physical. Strong, brave people do not need a scapegoat. They do not need a target to hate. They do not need a group of people to demonize. They do not need a target to blame. 

Strong, brave people take responsibility for their own lives. 

Weak people need to believe the Jew controls everything. It is their crutch. Weak people need to have someone to demonize. 

Hate is a seductive force. It mobilizes people around the worst of leaders, the worst of people, the worst of movements. It frees weak people from being responsible for their own lives. Strong people do not allow themselves to succumb to hate and demonizing.

The only difference between Hamas and ISIS is that Hamas targets the Jew. Even though Hamas and ISIS are genocidal organizations, only Hamas gains widespread favor because the target of their murdering, mutilation, raping, kidnapping, and derangement, is the Jew. 

It is irrelevant if someone supports Israel or not. No decent, brave human being alive should support people that rape, kidnap, mutilate and murder. History is being repeated. Instead of advancing, human beings are reverting to their most primitive and evil of forces; needing to hate, demonize, and target once again the Jew. 

Silence For Dying Oceans, Wars, Poverty; Hitler's Footsteps

 Instead of worrying about their own people, their own problems, the focus of millions of people, maybe even billions, is instead on Jews and destroying their one small state.

Hitler rose to power by mobilizing people behind his demonic hatred against Jews. History shows where that led. A world war, over 70 million people killed, almost all of the Jews of Europe exterminated, millions of other people exterminated, Europe in ruin, the lives of millions upon millions of survivors permanently scarred, millions of people permanently wounded emotionally and/or physically, millions upon millions of refugees and far more adverse consequences.

Less than a century later, much of the world is determined to follow in Hitler's footsteps. This time, in an age of advanced weapons and nuclear weapons, it will not end as well as did WW2. There will be no coming back from this war. Humanity survived WW2. It will not survive this final war of extermination.

It is a war that still can be stopped. But not if extermination of the Jewish people and the destruction of their one small state continues.  Simplistic demonizing narratives have long attracted people far too easily in a world of complexity.

What is criminally tragic is that the hatred for Jews and Israel has become the focus instead of the real threats to the survival of humanity, including the collapse of biodiversity, dying oceans, mass poverty, nuclear weapons proliferation, an overheating planet, ocean acidification, environmental destruction and poisoning, brutal wars across the planet, and far more.

One Word Why War Against Israel Never Ends

 They dress up the ugliness, their hate, their true intentions with lofty words. They tell you it is about resistance, occupation, liberation, land, colonizers, or some other lie. 

They change the history to suit their narratives, pretending that a changed history disguises and justifies their hate. If an Arab fled from Israel in 1948, when the newfound state of Israel was attacked by Arab armies and also by Arab forces inside of the new state, they will tell you it can only be because of the Jews, not because of war, even though war creates millions upon millions of refugees. 

The Jews that were persecuted and driven from their homes all over the middle east and North Africa, who with their descendants make up the majority population of Israel, are told they have no place in their one small middle east country. The Jews from Yemen, Iraq, Egypt, Algeria, Libya, Lebanon, Iran, Syria, and other countries in the middle east, North Africa and Asia, know that nothing awaits them in those countries if Israel should fall except persecution, misery and death.

The political and religious leaders of Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, Islamic Jihad, Qatar, Houthis and more tell the world over and over in their speeches, in their sermons, in their actions, that they despise Jews and want them dead. They demonize Jews in order to justify their genocidal campaign.

Hamas and those that share their beliefs want the women and children Hamas uses as human shields to be killed and wounded so that the world will blame Jews, not Hamas, and hate Jews as they do. This is why Hamas built tunnels and shelters for themselves and nothing for the civilians above ground. This is why they embed their military in schools, hospitals, mosques, apartment buildings and other civilian structures. They want civilian casualties, and do everything they can to sacrifice civilians for their demented beliefs. Unfortunately, much of the world goes along and blames Israel, not Hamas, for the civilian casualties caused by Hamas. Their support for Hamas is no different than if someone demanded the allies to ceasefire and leave Hitler in power so there would be no more German civilian casualties.

Hamas and company say over and over that they are not interested in two states. They say over and over that they want Israel destroyed and the millions of Jews living on that land wiped out.

They make it about religion. They believe they serve God by murdering Jews.

On October 7, they showed the whole world once again that they mean every one of their words. On that day, Hamas, Islamic Jihad and others from Gaza entered into Israel and murdered, wounded, kidnapped, raped, mutilated and tortured thousands of defenseless people, from babies to old people. 

Hamas and Islamic Jihad use the civilians of Gaza as their human shields, knowing that the world blames Israel, not them, for civilian casualties. Civilians are killed by the millions in the wars in Yemen, Syria, Congo, Myanmar, and elsewhere, and no one cares.  

Antisemitism, hatred against Jews, drives the war against Israel. Antisemitism is why if Israel cannot be blamed, no one cares about human life. 

The hatred of Jews is an ancient evil. It is not of God, even though many of the enemies of Israel make it about God. They make it clear that they do not want compromise, reconciliation, or anything other than genocide.

Unless the real driving force behind the war against Israel is recognized and completely rejected -antisemitism, hatred against Jews- there will be no end to this nightmare.

Abby Martin; Maduro, Venezuela, Hamas

 From the comfort of the United States, it is easy to have a love affair with Hamas and all of the other violent religious imperialists that murder, kidnap, and rape civilians and that use civilians as their human shields.

From the comfort of the United States, it is easy to have a love affair with the violent Maduro regime as it murders, tortures and imprisons people, including poor and working class people, average folk that no longer want to be ruled by a corrupt brutal dictator.

Venezuelans are crying for freedom. Israelis are crying for freedom from the violent religious imperialists who want to drive away and murder every Jew on the land of Israel.

It is not enough to support evil simply because you think it is opposition to the country where you live and its allies, including Israel. A country that has made you wealthy. 

You do not suffer under the hand of violent religious imperialists.

You do not suffer, as do millions of Venezuelans, under the thumb of the violent, brutal and corrupt Maduro.

Instead of appealing and pandering to your like minded crowd, stand up for what is right and speak to the average folk of Venezuela, the majority people of Venezuela, not the Maduro sycophants.

Instead of pandering and appealing to the pro Hamas crowd, why not speak to the families of hostages, the victims of Oct 7, the millions of Israelis that do not want war, that want only peace, but not by having their throats cut by Hamas and co., and not by having their daughters and sisters raped and kidnapped.

It is inexcusable for anyone to defend Hamas. 

It is inexcusable for anyone to defend Maduro.

Religious Imperialism Is A Worldwide Threat

 Those that believe in religious imperialism, expanding religion by the sword and murdering, enslaving or subjugating those that believe differently or are of a different religion, are a threat to all of humanity. The religions that are smaller in number in the crosshairs of the religious imperialists, along with the people of all religions on the frontlines where the religious imperialists are active, are at greatest threat. 

Murdering in The Name Of Religion: What Hamas Supporters Support

 As long as the goal remains to destroy Israel and murder its majority population, which happens to be Jewish, there will be no end to the war and suffering. 

Hamas murdered, raped and kidnapped defenseless people inside of Israel on October 7, starting a war. Hamas uses the civilians of Gaza as their human shields. 

This is not about supporting Israel or not supporting Israel.

It is about denying the right of anyone to murder, no matter the excuses or justifications given. 

Untold millions of people believe their religion, their politics, their beliefs, grants them the right to murder. 

Unless this reality is finally faced and opposed, there will be no end to the suffering not only for the people of Gaza and Israel and the surrounding areas, but also for the many other people across the world facing violent organizations and nations that believe religion grants them the right to murder, enslave and subjugate.

Shame On You, Shame On Who? Hamas Cheerleaders

 Hamas supporters like screaming shame on you to supporters of Israel, even though it was Hamas, Islamic Jihad and others from Gaza that entered into Israel on October 7 and raped, kidnapped, murdered, beheaded, burned people alive, mutilated, and wounded thousands of mostly defenseless people of all ages, including babies and children. Hamas broke an existing ceasefire and started a war.

The shame on you screamers find no shame in that.

They find no shame that Hamas started a war, and instead of releasing the remaining hostages, keeps the war going. They find no shame in Hamas and Islamic Jihad using civilians, including children, as their human shields, and using civilian buildings, such as hospitals, schools, mosques, apartment buildings and so forth from which to wage war, store weapons, and hide. 

It is not necessary to support Israel or like Israel. But finding no shame in an organization that purposefully goes out and rapes, kidnaps, mutilates and murders civilians, and then wages war using civilians as their human shields, speaks volumes about Hamas supporters.

Millions of civilians, including countless children, have died in the wars in Yemen, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, the Congo region, Mali, Northern Nigeria, Myanmar, and many more places, without shame on you voices screaming, or even whispering anywhere.

The ongoing genocide in Darfur, where Arab militias are murdering indigenous black Muslim people and raping women and girls, receives no shame on you calls. 

If you cannot blame the Jew, it does not matter how many millions are killed. No one cares.
