In the 6 days of the truce with Hamas, the Islamic terror groups targeted Israeli soldiers with two IED attacks and murdered a young pregnant woman and a 73-year-old Rabbi in Jerusalem.
And the latest truce, ceasefire, or whatever it becomes called is still young.
This from frontpagemag.com.
To date, the death toll from the truce includes Liba Dickman, a 24-year old preschool teacher pregnant with her first child, Chanah Ifergan, a 67-year-old principal, and Rabbi Elimelech Wasserman, a 73-year-old rabbi. Who knows what more deaths the bloody truce will bring?
This is what truces, ceasefires, and peace
agreements with Islamic terrorists produce.
Wait two years, the way Hamas did before Oct 7, and the ceasefire may kill a thousand more people. After 30 years of the Oslo Accord peace deal with the PLO, the dead total approximately three thousand.
The one thing sure to happen after negotiating with terrorists is that the body count will go up. Reaching agreements with Islamic terrorists doesn’t end the violence because they never stop wanting to kill you. All it does is give them the time and space to plan their next attack.
Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar (pictured above) used the truce to issue a statement declaring that:
October 7th was just a rehearsal.
Ghazi Hamad, the head of Hamas’ political operation, previously vowed that the Oct 7 attacks:
[I]s just the first time, and there will be a second, a third, a fourth [until Israel is destroyed].
Given such voiced intentions for the annihilation of Israel,
what is the point of a ceasefire with these terrorists?
And yet the streets of every major city are filled with Hamas supporters and Marxists howling for a ‘ceasefire.’
Some members of the U.S. House and Senate have called for a “permanent ceasefire.” And We the People ask, ‘Can they hear themselves speak? Such foolish words are beyond humor.’ What will it take for them to realize, the only way to achieve a “permanent ceasefire” with an Islamic terror group is to destroy it?
Hamas, of course, is thrilled by its supporters and urged them:
[T]o continue their rallies in solidarity with our Palestinian people and our just cause [and against Israel and] to call for an end to its barbaric aggression.
All the while Hamas’ leaders boast that they will go on attacking until Israel is destroyed.
But that’s what a [Middle East] ceasefire is. The Islamic
terrorists get to attack you, you don’t get to fight back.
The entire ceasefire narrative is a lie. A means to recruit useful idiots to a genocidal cause. A ceasefire with terrorists does not end the killing, it enables the killing. A ceasefire does not end the violence, it perpetuates the violence.
The only reason that Hamas isn’t killing Israelis at any given moment right now is that its capabilities have been reduced by weeks of bombings and assaults. The Islamic terror group has lost some of its top commanders, weapons caches, and command centers. Its Jihadis have been dispersed among the civilian population and no longer control some of their old positions.
This is why Hamas wants a ceasefire—to regroup, to consolidate, and to stage another assault.
Final thoughts: The lesson learned (or unlearned)—There can be no truce with terrorists. The only choices are terror or victory.
One frustrating aspect of what I just wrote is that the world’s leading nations—and in this august group I would still include the United States of America—will not allow Israel to continue long enough to root out and destroy all of Hamas. And like a cancer—even if only very minimal in number or of a different variety—remaining cells will create terrible future problems.
