Louie Gohmert is right.
“LOUIE GOHMERT: How Western Pressure On Israel Led To The Brutal Hamas Massacre,” by Louie Gohmert, Daily Caller, October 23, 2023:
You have heard about the barbaric attacks on Israel. You have heard about Israel’s response to the horrors of those attacks. You have heard purported Jewish protestors at the U.S. Capitol demanding a ceasefire now! You have heard reports that the U.S. provided Iran funds to make the attack possible. You have heard the defense that the United States did not “give” the money to Iran, but simply made it available for them to spend.
What you have not heard is how the radical Islamic jihadist group, Hamas, was ever in a position to make such a diabolical and sadistic attack on innocent civilians in Israel. Now you will.
As a result of the 1967 Six-Day War, Israel took control of what is referred to as the Gaza Strip. With Israeli military in place in Gaza and Israelis feeling safe enough to live in Gaza, Jewish residences increased as did greenhouses, manufacturing and other places of business, which actually provided jobs, food and provisions locally in Gaza. That included providing jobs for Palestinians there as well. Though tensions continued, the Israel military’s presence provided some stability as well as intelligence regarding potential threats emanating from the area.
With pressure from the Clinton administration, Israel agreed to the Oslo Accords in which the Palestinians did not give up anything significant with which they would comply. However, in trying to demonstrate good faith efforts at achieving peace, Israel on the other hand gave up some control within Gaza, agreed to the creation of the Palestinian Authority, and among other outcomes, the leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization, Yasser Arafat, was allowed to live and lead Fatah and the PLO from within Gaza. Many attribute the creation of Hamas to the alleged corruption of Arafat and the PLO in Gaza.
Under the banner of “No good deed goes unpunished,” while Israeli businesses provided economic benefit to Gaza, the increased Palestinian control brought increased tensions and violent threats to Israel’s safety.
In 2005, again Israel faced mounting pressure from its western allies to do something truly monumental and unilateral without getting anything significant in return. The idea was that if Israel took an extraordinary unilateral action to supposedly benefit Palestinians, the world would finally know for sure that Israel was fully committed to peace in the Middle East. That action was for the Israeli government to force all Jewish residents in Gaza to abandon their homes, their businesses, the huge greenhouses, the manufacturing and turn it all over to Palestinians for their total control. Israel gave full authority to the Palestinians in Gaza, which allowed for the strengthening of Hamas and the increasing of violence against Israel.
In their hatred for Jews, Palestinians destroyed the greenhouses and many of the businesses that could have been a great source of assistance to them. But their hatred for Israelis overcame good sense that would have taken over the businesses and gardens instead of destroying them. The unilateral gift to the Palestinians of complete Palestinian occupation and control of Gaza resulted in the ongoing rocket attacks into Israel that seek to terrorize, destroy and kill Israelis.
Had Israel never been pressured into unilaterally walking away from Gaza in order to show Israelis’ unequivocal commitment to peace, the horrors of the most recent attacks could not have happened without prior discernment by Israeli intelligence and certainly not on such a barbaric level.
Keep in mind that leftist control of most universities and media have indoctrinated many younger Americans into believing that any problem in the Middle East is the direct result and fault of Israel. They have also minimized the most horrific genocide in world history, the Holocaust, and its murder of over six million Jews. Some now have been taught to doubt it ever happened. Some Palestinians say outright that it did not happen. But it did. That is what led to overwhelming sympathy to prevent antisemitism from ever growing to the point that another genocide of Jews could happen again….

LOL … 1400 years of history would indicate that you’re wrong.

Everybody who died in that October 7th attack and since – their blood is on the hands of everyone who voted Democrat in this country in 2020 and 2022
James Lincoln says
Infidel,
I’d have to agree.
This would have never happened under Pres. Trump.
libertyORdeath says
Here here.
I just hate that it took such horrors for many people, including leftist jews, to realize their mistakes. It makes me think they don’t regret the destruction their ignorance has caused Americans, but they can’t act fast enough when it’s Israelis that are affected.
America first means a sovereign and secure Israel, period.
We’re not gonna be threatened with more mass muslim migration.
The sooner the “Palestinians” are moved to their purported “dream home” of Palestine – in JORDAN AKA the muslim part of Palestine – the sooner we can have lasting peace.
No reason many of them can’t go back to their ancestral homelands in Syria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia too. They just ain’t coming here or to Europe. Time to finally break the cycle.
Unknown guy says
This is never going to happen. This is just a fantasy. Moving the palestinians into jordan, not even Trump would support that. At best we can go for a china hongkong like system in Israel. But I doubt this would ever be agreed. So basically the status quo would be maintained unless one side compromises. The side most likely to compromise would be israel because the palestinians don’t have any election so don’t think they are gonna have a change in their postion. But in Israel,if leftist moderate govt comes to power like that of yair lapid then there is a high possibility that Israel may give into more stupid demands of the palestinians. This should be the main concern in the future for Jews and supporters of Israel.
Brenrod says
in a normal war, like that in syria and iraq there is a displacement of refugees. If the muslim arabs remain they will continue to murder the jews. They are right across the river from Jordan which represents 80% of the palestine mandate territory, They had JOrdan citizenship before the king took it away. The jordan monarch and his hashemite tribe are a foreign implant from arabia brought in by the british. When they are gone the pals will take over jordan. They almost took over in Black September uprising. Those in gaza were polled years ago with 50% wanting to leave with europe as their desired destination. Remember when the boat people left viet nam?
Unknown guy says
Even if the jordan king loses power which is not gonna happen in near future, still don’t think the palis will be satisfied by taking over jordan. They would always want to take more land and with so much support from the leftist and islamist i doubt they would leave any control over west Bank and gaza. Also this notion of pushing the palis to jordan is a fantasy that literally no one supports. I also would love to see the Jews take all of palestine since that was alloted to them. But it ain’t gonna happen.
Brenrod says
“No reason many of them can’t go back to their ancestral homelands in Syria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia too”
They can go and live in the homes of the hundreds of thousands of Jews that were chased out of the arab countries in 1948 and their properties confiscated by the muslims with no compensation.
Cynthia Siefman says
Correct!
DazzleMe says
I definitely agree, this would not have happened if we had Trump for president. He demanded peace through strength and they didn’t want to try him.
ME Infidel says
Also be aware that the OBiden administration and the Leftists in the Knesset pushed for increased permits for the fake Palestinians to work in Israel. That allowed the jihadists among them to scope out the soft targets. Secondly, the Jewish civilian population was astonishingly unarmed and unable to defend themselves. Whenever a Democrat scum ball calls for banning guns here, tell them to go to Hell!
James Lincoln says
ME Infidel,
Yes.
And, moving forward, Israel should expel every last muslim.
NO MORE work permits, etc.
Done, finished.
DazzleMe says
ME infidel, they will have to pry my gun out of my cold dead hands! That’s all we have left, the government is aligned with our enemies.

“AU.S. Marine veteran shared a video on social media where he is seen covering bullets in bacon as a warning to ‘jihadists” amid the conflict between Israel and Hamas militants.
On Instagram, U.S. Marine veteran Steven Gern posted a video on October 14 with a caption that reads, “Where’s all you Jihadist? Let’s get this Jihad going.”
n the video, Gern is holding a gun with bullets placed in front of him as he says, “I was just asking about the jihadists, man…when do ya’ll plan on getting this frigging jihad kicked off?”
“We’re ready, so I was just wondering when you all plan on getting this ready,” Gern says before showing a piece of bacon and rubbing it on the bullets. “I mean, I’m just asking when you want to get this jihad going because we’re ready. We are ready. So whenever you’re ready, let us know, so we can get started. Don’t worry, got a little pig fat for you.”

Why doesn’t the free world understand once and for all: If you want to live, you have to live like Dhimmies. Keep paying Islamic countries for not attacking you. Keep supporting refugees or migrants who want to come to your country rather than any other peaceful Islamic state; and do all this in “humble submission”.On their part, they have their pious duty to keep you in terror. The moment you delay the poll (or jizia) tax, it is their duty to come out on the street and stone you, which is their “civilised” way, or to attack you, behead you, rape your women, till you know your place in the world. It is all for Allah !!
You have only two choices, accept the above predicament —– or —– fight. The fight is not just with weapons but also against the much more lethal narrative war championed by the Leftists. The choice is yours.
