Nothing to add.
They documented, showed us what they are and want, and said it all.
If you are ready to “negotiate,” you have already lost and beyond help.
Europe, the USA, and anyone who refuses to become a “Devoted Muslim,” stop mumbling nonsense.
Know your mortal enemy who will stop at nothing to destroy your world.
You know what happened on October 7.
There is a war going on between Right and Wrong.
Light and Darkness.
Truth and lies.
You do not rise to the occasion and join the fight for the survival of the Western World.
The Western World is primarily White but accepts the racist ideology that being White always means a Privilege and Oppressor, and being Black means being a Victim and Deserving Compensation.
You coined the idiotic phrase “proportionate response.”
You “demand” the safety of the “innocent” Palestinians and the “Moderate” Muslims, the ones who celebrated the Hama’s achievements on October 7.
You open your borders to the invasion of “victims” that refuse to assimilate, call, and take action to destroy your values and culture.
The “victims” that abuse your Western Democracies, chanting, Death to Jews, Death to Infidels, Death to America.
There is no Radical Islam or Extremist Islam.
The Extreme is Mainstream in Islam!
Islam and the dying European Democracies are not compatible.
Islam and the American Constitution are not compatible.
You are brainwashed, ignorant of facts, spoiled, and soft.
You are submitting to your mortal enemies.
You are attacking the few fighting, trying to save you, and your ignorance will lead you to extinction.
Israel is your active fighting line of defense.
Israel is doing what must be done; Israeli soldiers are dying daily while you are mumbling nonsense.
Israel’s killing of Hamas and other inhuman murderous organizations is the only chance for survival the Western world may have.
The USA should join the fight, boots on the ground.
This probably will not happen unless/until twenty 9/11’s hit the USA in one day; even an “event” of this magnitude will be “smaller” than what happened in Israel on October 7.
Get it before it is too late.
— In a generation or two, the US will ask itself: “Who lost Europe?” Here is the speech of Geert Wilders, the Chairman of the Party for Freedom the Netherlands, given at the Four Seasons in New York, introducing an Alliance of Patriots and announcing the Facing Jihad Conference in Jerusalem.—
Dear friends,
Thank you very much for inviting me.
I came to America with a mission.
All is not well in the old world. There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic. We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of Europe.
This not only is a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself, but it is also a threat to America and the sheer survival of the West.
The United States is the last bastion of Western civilization, facing an Islamic Europe.
First, I will describe the situation on the ground in Europe.
Then, I will say a few things about Islam.
To close, I will tell you about a meeting in Jerusalem.
The Europe you know is changing.
You have probably seen the landmarks. But in all of these cities, sometimes a few blocks away from your tourist destination, there is another world.
It is the world of the parallel society created by Muslim mass migration.
All throughout Europe, a new reality is rising: entire Muslim neighborhoods where very few indigenous people reside or are even seen. And if they are, they might regret it.
This goes for the police as well. It’s the world of head scarves, where women walk around in figureless tents, with baby strollers and a group of children.
Their husbands, or slaveholders if you prefer, walk three steps ahead.
With mosques on many street corners. The shops have signs you and I cannot read.
You will be hard-pressed to find any economic activity. These are Muslim ghettos controlled by religious fanatics. These are Muslim neighborhoods, and they are mushrooming in every city across Europe . These are the building-blocks for territorial control of increasingly larger portions of Europe , street by street, neighborhood by neighborhood, city by city.
There are now thousands of mosques throughout Europe. With larger congregations than there are in churches. And in every European city there are plans to build super-mosques that will dwarf every church in the region. Clearly, the signal is: we rule.
Many European cities are already one-quarter Muslim: just take Amsterdam , Marseille and Malmo in Sweden . In many cities the majority of the under-18 population is Muslim.
Paris is now surrounded by a ring of Muslim neighborhoods. Mohammed is the most popular name among boys in many cities.
In some elementary schools in Amsterdam the farm can no longer be mentioned, because that would also mean mentioning the pig, and that would be an insult to Muslims.
Many state schools in Belgium and Denmark only serve halal food to all pupils. In once-tolerant Amsterdam gays are beaten up almost exclusively by Muslims. Non-Muslim women routinely hear ‘whore, whore’. Satellite dishes are not pointed to local TV stations, but to stations in the country of origin.
In France school teachers are advised to avoid authors deemed offensive to Muslims, including Voltaire and Diderot; the same is increasingly true of Darwin. The history of the Holocaust can no longer be taught because of Muslim sensitivity.
In England sharia courts are now officially part of the British legal system. Many neighborhoods in France are no-go areas for women without head scarves. Last week a man almost died after being beaten up by Muslims in Brussels, because he was drinking during the Ramadan.
Jews are fleeing France in record numbers, on the run for the worst wave of anti-Semitism since World War II. French is now commonly spoken on the streets of Tel Aviv and Netanya, Israel.
I could go on forever with stories like this. Stories about Islamization.
A total of fifty-four million Muslims now live in Europe.
San Diego University recently calculated that a staggering 25 percent of the population in Europe will be Muslim just 12 years from now. Bernhard Lewis has predicted a Muslim majority by the end of this century.
Now these are just numbers, and the numbers would not be threatening if the Muslim-immigrants had a strong desire to assimilate. But there are few signs of that.
The Pew Research Center reported that half of French Muslims see their loyalty to Islam as greater than their loyalty to France.
One-third of French Muslims do not object to suicide attacks.
The British Centre for Social Cohesion reported that one-third of British Muslim students are in favor of a worldwide caliphate. Muslims demand what they call ‘respect’. And this is how we give them respect. We have Muslim official state holidays.
The Christian-Democratic attorney general is willing to accept sharia in the Netherlands if there is a Muslim majority. We have cabinet members with passports from Morocco and Turkey.
Muslim demands are supported by unlawful behavior, ranging from petty crimes and random violence, for example, against ambulance workers and bus drivers, to small-scale riots. Paris has seen its uprising in the low-income suburbs, the banlieues. I call the perpetrators ‘settlers’. Because that is what they are. They do not come to integrate into our societies; they come to integrate our society into their Dar-al-Islam. Therefore, they are settlers.
Much of this street violence I mentioned is directed exclusively against non-Muslims, forcing many native people to leave their neighborhoods, their cities, and their countries. Moreover, Muslims are now a swing vote not to be ignored.
The second thing you need to know is the importance of Mohammed the prophet. His behavior is an example to all Muslims and cannot be criticized. Now, if Mohammed had been a man of peace, let us say like Ghandi and Mother Theresa wrapped in one, there would be no problem. But Mohammed was a warlord, a mass murderer, a pedophile, and had several marriages – at the same time. Islamic tradition tells us how he fought in battles, how he had his enemies murdered, and even had prisoners of war executed. Mohammed himself slaughtered the Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayza. If it is good for Islam, it is good. If it is bad for Islam, it is bad.
Let no one fool you about Islam being a religion.
Sure, it has a god, and a here-after, and 72 virgins. But in its essence, Islam is a political ideology. It is a system that lays down detailed rules for society and the life of every person.
Islam wants to dictate every aspect of life.
Islam means ‘submission’.
Islam is not compatible with freedom and democracy because what it strives for is sharia.
If you want to compare Islam to anything, compare it to communism or national socialism, these are all totalitarian ideologies.
Now you know why Winston Churchill called Islam ‘the most retrograde force in the world’ and why he compared Mein Kampf to the Quran.
The public has wholeheartedly accepted the Palestinian narrative and sees Israel as the aggressor. I have lived in this country and visited it dozens of times.
I support Israel. First, because it is the Jewish homeland after two thousand years of exile up to and including Auschwitz; second because it is a democracy, and third because Israel is our first line of defense.
This tiny country is situated on the fault line of jihad, frustrating Islam’s territorial advance. Israel is facing the front lines of jihad, like Kashmir, Kosovo, the Philippines, Southern Thailand, Darfur in Sudan, Lebanon, and Aceh in Indonesia. Israel is simply in the way. The same way West-Berlin was during the Cold War.
The war against Israel is not a war against Israel. It is a war against the West. It is jihad. Israel is simply receiving the blows that are meant for all of us.
If there would have been no Israel, Islamic imperialism would have found other venues to release its energy and its desire for conquest.
Thanks to Israeli parents who send their children to the army and lay awake at night, parents in Europe and America can sleep well and dream, unaware of the dangers looming.
Many in Europe argue in favor of abandoning Israel in order to address the grievances of our Muslim minorities. But if Israel were, God forbid, to go down, it would not bring any solace to the West It would not mean our Muslim minorities would all of a sudden change their behavior, and accept our values. On the contrary, the end of Israel would give enormous encouragement to the forces of Islam. They would, and rightly so, see the demise of Israel as proof that the West is weak and doomed.
The end of Israel would not mean the end of our problems with Islam, but only the beginning. It would mean the start of the final battle for world domination. If they can get Israel, they can get everything.
So-called journalists volunteer to label any and all critics of Islamization as a ‘right-wing extremists’ or ‘racists’.
In my country, the Netherlands, 60 percent of the population now sees the mass immigration of Muslims as the number one policy mistake since World War II. And another 60 percent see Islam as the biggest threat.
Yet there is a greater danger than terrorist attacks, the scenario of America as the last man standing. The lights may go out in Europe faster than you can imagine.
An Islamic Europe means a Europe without freedom and democracy, an economic wasteland, an intellectual nightmare, and a loss of military might for America – as its allies will turn into enemies, enemies with atomic bombs.
With an Islamic Europe, it would be up to America alone to preserve the heritage of Rome, Athens and Jerusalem.
Is Islamic Europe Next? Islamic France seems to be next, and the rest of Europe may follow.
Unless Europe “Wakes Up” and changes, there is no future for Jews in Europe.
In the USA, Politicians at all levels are changing their alignment to please Muslims.
American schools and universities raise a clueless generation.
Jewish students are not protected but criticized and antagonized.
Major American cities tolerated violent demonstrations calling for the Death of All Jews.
The US government allows pro-Muslims to run anti-American Demonstrations openly.
All this is going to change.
The future terror attacks on the USA, and they are coming, will force Americans to “Wake Up” and change and join Israel in the fight to eradicate Hamas, Hizballah, and their alike. Including the final fight with the “Mother Snakes” in Iran.
Judaism does not subscribe to the Christian idea that one should “turn the other cheek” when attacked. The Talmud teaches an important rule: “ha-ba le-horgekha, hashkem le-horgo”.
Meaning: If someone comes to kill you, rise up and kill him first.
Hamas, Hizballah, and all other satanic Islamic terror organizations.
Israel has the right to survive.
Israel has the might to eradicate you from Gaza and Lebanon.
This time, there will be no end to this war until there is an end to you.
October 7, 2023, was the birth of a “New Israel.”
Israelis have a winning weapon: They have NO CHOICE.
I hope the Government of Israel understands it and is ready to act accordingly.
Israel’s Government doesn’t have an obligation to please the world.
Israel’s Government obligations are:
If someone comes to kill you, rise up and kill him first.
Israelis will never forget this again, even when their government will “forget.”

As these lines are being written, the war is ongoing and may yet intensify. It is perhaps too early to posit conclusive lessons at this stage. Therefore, I would qualify all of the findings below by suggesting that they must be put to the test of systematic criticism – alongside many of our military and political realities – once the war was over.
This war was launched by surprise, reminiscent of the Yom Kippur War surprise exactly 50 years and a day earlier. The intelligence services failed in the task of early warning, the first line of defense collapsed, the level of losses in the first stage was horrifying, many were taken prisoner, and it was a while before the IDF recuperated and fought back successfully. The main differences, however, are that in 1973 the IDF faced two large and well equipped armies, whereas now it faces a ragtag force without an air force or armor.
In 2023, most of the dead and abducted are civilians murdered or taken from their homes. In this respect, the attack shook up the foundations of Israel’s defense doctrine. The sheer brutality of the Hamas attackers added to the loss of the sense of security among the public at large, since it turned out that across the fence we allowed the rise of a barbaric organization, more cruel than ISIS or al-Qaeda.
At the same time, it should also be said that the IDF did recover in an impressive manner. The shift to a ground offensive aimed at destroying Hamas was conducted in a very orderly fashion and the army and navy used well the period of waiting, during which time the air force was intensively engaged in the Gaza Strip. Combined arms operations have peeled off Hamas defensive layers and the IDF now operates in the urban core of Gaza City, in preparation for taking over the Hamas command and control centers. The IDF will then need to decide when and how to extend its operations so as to eliminate Hamas also in the southern section of the Gaza Strip, and its mission is far from over. The pace is slow, but it enables the IDF to save the lives of its own soldiers while also facilitating the departure of massive numbers of civilians from the battle zones towards the southern part of the Strip.
Nowhere has Hamas succeeded in pushing back IDF advances. While it has not disintegrated, even two weeks into the ground campaign, Hamas’ ability to launch rockets has been significantly degraded and its control over the civilian population is loosening. The highest echelon of Hamas command has survived thus far. But its mid-level command has been badly mauled, probably reducing the effectiveness of its fighting. Still, Hamas troops remain determined, probably because they believe they have no choice. Israel is determined to eliminate them, and thus they prefer to fight to the end.
Four major lessons appear to emerge for Israel’s defense doctrine and for Israel’s future leadership.
First, Israel will need to deploy larger forces to protect its borders. The size of such forces should be assessed on the basis of the bitter lessons of 7 October. Being permanently ready for the “worst possible scenario” will alter the IDF’s planning assumptions for border defense; the criterion should not be not the enemy’s potential but rather the consequences of a surprise attack.
Second, there is no choice but to increase the defense budget. The IDF will be larger and its budget enhanced. The present situation points to a shortage of formations dealing with more than one front, and this lack of capacity must be addressed by expanding the ground forces order of battle. This would not be a revolution but rather a restoration of what has been neglected.
A good example is the missile defense array, extended all over the country and designed to counter a variety of threats. Once the war is over, Israel can point proudly to the successes of Iron Dome, David’s Sling and Arrow 2 and 3 as well as the patriot. They intercepted most of the threats; systemic debriefing would yield future solutions to the few specific failures. In this respect, the war served as a highly significant testing ground.
Third, it is wrong to argue – as some significant critics have done – that too much money has been spent on technology at the expense of training and high levels of combat readiness. As it turns out, ground operations are demonstrating that technology is vital for the IDF’s success in general and for the specific challenges of urban warfare in particular. Iron Dome, “Trophy” (active armored shield protection) and the variety of unmanned aerial vehicles which accompany troops and provide tactical intelligence and “behind the corner” fire cover – all prove the point. Threats are effectively eliminated that once would have exacted heavy losses from similar forces in such situations. Technology repays its investment not only in defense but also in offense, as tools enabling commanders to concentrate great and accurate firepower to remove obstacles to their advance. Investment in innovation must persist.
Finally, basic assumptions in the political as well as the military and intelligence echelons have failed us; things must change. Over the years the defense establishment and the political leadership let go of the concept of a “preemptive strike,” let alone the notion of launching such a war. Imagine if eighteen or six months ago, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu or his predecessors had decided on a preventive ground offensive against Hamas, because the threat was too large and imminent. Friend and foe alike would have lashed at Israel in every forum. America would have reassessed its support, leaving Israel isolated (even in Congress, Israel’s standing would have been challenged due to this “act of aggression”). Russia would have threatened to shoot down IDF aircraft over Syria. The Gulf Abraham Accords partners would have cut relations. Public opinion in Israel would have turned against the government, accusing it of subordinating national security to political needs.
No longer. The mood of the country has been transformed and so should the support for Israel abroad. Israel’s future leaders must restore to the tool kit of national security the understanding that wars of choice are legitimate. Israel must seriously weigh preventive action to push away the buildup of military capabilities which threaten it – not only in terms of the nuclear threat in all its manifestations, but also the removal of acute conventional threats. The “Begin Doctrine” (of preemptive strikes against nuclear targets first in Iraq in 1981, then in Syria in 2007, and beyond) should be applied also to organizations such as Hizbullah when they attempt to acquire tiebreaker technologies. A small country such as Israel, surrounded by many threats but possessing high technology, must occasionally embark on a preventive war. This was the one measure that could have prevented the catastrophe of October 7. But it would not have been seen as legitimate either at home or abroad. This must change.
With the war still raging, it is thus possible – with a great degree of caution – to point out four missions for the military and political leadership after the war. These four should be carried forward based on broad national consensus:
Hamas likely believed that had Israel subscribed to a small-scale approach, they could build on the success of October 7 and effect a change that would result in a new “equation” between the organization and the Jewish state.
Meaning, the release of the imprisoned terrorists, lifting the blockade, and stopping the normalization process between Israel and Saudi Arabia.

While IDF forces are engaged in Gaza, in what is becoming a protracted war, aiming to weaken Hamas and secure the release of captives, the main effort by Hamas and its backers has been focused on reaching a prolonged ceasefire as much as possible.
Such a ceasefire has operational and tactical importance for Hamas, as the pressure on Israel increases. However, its main significance lies in the strategic arena.
Hamas hopes a ceasefire will compel Israel to change its war objectives and revert to the softer approach that Hamas initially believed Israel would follow right after the Oct. 7 massacre.
I believe that Hamas leaders, despite the severe blow inflicted on Israel, were convinced that the Israeli response would focus on targeted airstrikes that would extract a significant price from the Palestinians and perhaps even a limited ground maneuver – but they never anticipated that Israel would launch an all-out undertaking to eliminate the terrorist organization and deprive it of its military-terrorist capabilities along with retaking the strip.
Hamas likely believed that had Israel subscribed to a small-scale approach, they could build on the success of October 7 and effect a change that would result in a new “equation” between the organization and the Jewish state.
Meaning, the release of the imprisoned terrorists, lifting the blockade, and stopping the normalization process between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Hamas assessed that Israel’s weakness and its problematic relations with the United States, coupled with its inherent reluctance to pay the high price involved in a broad military operation to remove Hamas from Gaza, would ultimately prevent it from completely defeating Hamas, just like in previous flare-ups.
In previous rounds, whenever the fighting ended, both sides licked their wounds, but Hamas would then quickly recover and posed a threat to the Gaza area and Israel as a whole.
This time Israel adopted, to the surprise of Hamas, a different approach that could strategically weaken the organization without precedent, thereby also affecting both radical factions associated with the organization: the radical axis led by Iran on the one hand, and the Muslim Brotherhood axis, which includes Qatar and Turkey, on the other.
All actions by Hamas, Iran, and its proxies (Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Shiite militias in Iraq), Qatar, and Turkey should be seen in the context of the attempt to persuade President Joe Biden to pressure Israel to stop the fighting and eventually adopt an alternative approach.
This effort motivates them to create the impression that there is a severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza. It is what made Hamas play a cynical game with the captives, and this is also what has prompted the Shiite militias in Iraq to step up their actions.
Likewise, this explains the gradual escalation by Hezbollah in the north and the missile launches from the Houthis, and the potential expansion of the conflict by Iran and its allies.
This is also the context through which we must treat the numerous protests in Western capitals calling for a ceasefire. Even Jordan and Egypt are joining the chorus for various reasons, primarily due to the concern about a flow of Palestinian refugees into their territories.
The Palestinian Authority seemingly calls for a ceasefire, but it is unclear if it is genuinely interested in one.
So far, Hamas and its allies’ efforts have been unsuccessful.
Biden is under pressure, along with most Western leaders. They understand the importance of Israel’s success in undermining Hamas and the moral justification for it.
Israel’s recent moves, such as advancing on the ground, exposing the illicit Hamas activity at the Rantisi Hospital, and continued close coordination with the US. regarding the management of the conflict against Hezbollah, contribute to President Biden’s ability to withstand pressure.
As the fighting continues, Israel will need to remind Western leaders, led by Biden, that letting Hamas stay in power would be beyond the pale and that Israel can bring about its demise within a reasonable time without causing a humanitarian disaster in Gaza or leading to actions that would escalate the conflict into a regional war.
This is how Israel would be able to get room for action and the time needed to achieve its strategic goals, even if it agrees to short ceasefires/pauses to release the captives.

A word and some thoughts to my English-speaking friends/family – please feel free to share this:
Anywhere in the world, when you step out on your way to the grocery, mall, school… you don’t have any actual fear for your life – right? Sure, there could be an accident; you might miss a step and fall.. but will you encounter a masked person with a knife, screaming and aiming to kill you with it? Will you be sitting in a restaurant and being blown up? Do balloons explode or ignite fires where you live? Do you hear air-raid sirens, followed by explosions of actual rockets hitting the ground or houses around you?
Take a moment and try to imagine a nation of people who go to college, work in offices, ride busses, go to parties, dance, eat out, enjoy good wine, read books, watch Netflix.. all of those and much more JUST LIKE YOU, but with all that terror and danger always lurking.
What does this do to our souls?
Every now and then, the local conflict rises to a level of war. It’s never gone, but most of the time we live with it. We don’t like it, but it’s always been like that for our nation.
This recent rise has been unique. It brought us back to the darkest of times the Jewish people have ever experienced. The sheer mass of civilian lives lost in those hours of October 7th… still incomprehensible – maybe we will never really be able to grasp.
The voice of Hamas and its supporters is strong and effective – it is making waves that seem to be giving the world a very narrow view of what is happening in Gaza. So you all march, chanting “Free Gaza”. Free it from whom?
Nearly 2 decades ago, Israel withdrew all military and civilian presence from the Gaza Strip. It was Hamas who took over, with force, while overthrowing the rule of the Palestinian Authority – killing their people, tossing them from rooftops… This was not in any way the doings of Israel.
Hamas has taken every cent, nickel, and dime for its own purposes: It is investing everything in protecting itself, arming itself, and lining the pockets of its leaders. These so-called “leaders” keep saying that freedom comes with sacrifice – while sitting comfortably in posh luxurious hotel suites in Qatar, Turkey…
Israel is fighting a righteous battle in the aim of ridding its own citizens from long years of terror attacks from Gaza. Those villages and towns attacked on October 7th are filled with teenagers who can’t even grasp the notion that there is such a thing as living without sirens, explosions, and constant fear. They think ALL teens wet their beds, that everyone has a safe room made of thick concrete in their homes – how else can you survive, right?
If you find yourself disturbed by what Israel is doing in Gaza – be advised that we are not only killing… we are also making sure civilians can evacuate safely, even protecting them from Hamas, who fires at them while they flee. We are taking care of those who need medical care; we do not wish to take any unnecessary life – any.
Do you feel Gaza should be set free? So does Israel. While those who have no true knowledge of what’s at stake and march in the safe streets of London, New York, or Washington DC keep yelling and displaying Antisemitic posters – Israel is freeing Gaza from the tyranny of Hamas – the same people and doctrinarian of ISIS, the same extreme and fundamental terror in the name of Islam.
Do you want to do good? Do you seek true and just peace? Do you want the Palestinian civilians of Gaza to have a chance for a better life? How about the Israelis on the other side of the border?
If you want all of that – support Israel, let us do it right.
