It’s the Shariah, Stupid

The world is locked in a civilizational battle with Islam. Not “radical Islam,” but Islam. The religion itself is built on violence and total intolerance.

One can almost understand why Israel and the West somewhat slow-walked really taking on the terrorists over the years. No big attack on Iran, no effort to dislodge Hezbollah or Hamas. We know why, we see it every day; it is proving to be a multi-year operation.

Now, when Israel is finished, they will have largely remade the Middle East. But at a price.

Israel is finally taking the fight to the enemy, and make no mistake, the enemy is demonic. Even the Houthis, a relative newcomer to the terror platform, is in the crosshairs. After disrupting shipping in the Red Sea, and firing missiles at Israel itself, the IDF is now confronting the Muslim terror group robustly, as Defense Minister Israel Katz said this week:

“The port of Hodeidah is paralyzed and the port of Ras Issa is burning – there will be no immunity for anyone, we will also hunt down the leaders of the Houthi terrorist organization. Israel’s long hand reaches and will reach anywhere that harms us – including Yemen.”

The IDF’s X account noted this about operations in Lebanon:

“IDF: Earlier today (Friday), several terrorists were identified loading a truck with weapons used by the Hezbollah terrorist organization in southern Lebanon. An IAF aircraft struck the weapon on the vehicle in order to eliminate the threat. The IDF continues to operate in accordance with the ceasefire understandings between Israel and Lebanon. The IDF remains deployed in southern Lebanon and will operate against any threat to the State of Israel and its citizens.”

Stark, painful truths are starting to filter down about the hostages. Officially 100 still remain in captivity, but the Israelis believe the number of live hostages is far lower. One gets the feeling all this is wrapping-up in Gaza, but there are still too many unknowns to be dogmatic about how many hostages might be recovered, and what will happen to Gaza administratively. The sheer size of the Gaza Strip, where 1.5 million Palestinians live, make it virtually impossible to recover all hostages. That’s just the truth.

Which is why, to be brutally frank, the Palestinians must feel real pain and lasting pain, for the horrors they have unleashed.

Gad Saad posted a really interesting comment on social media, related to the utter stubbornness of Islam.

“Well if Christians were going around right now quoting passages from the New Testament and committing 46000 plus terror attacks in nearly 70 countries since 9/11 alone, then I would say we need to worry about those texts.”

Again, the message is clear: Islam is a violent, expansionist, demonic sandstorm bent on world domination. It must be defeated completely. Israel is doing its part in their neighborhood.

The IAF attacks on Houthi ports and a power plant in Yemen were devastating. I think Trump will “quietly” coordinate with the Israelis to deal a knock-out blow to the Houthis, because the shipping disruptions are not confined to Israeli ships. American ships have been brazenly attacked, too.

According to the Times of Israel:

“The Israel Defense Forces said over 20 IAF aircraft — including fighter jets, refuelers and spy planes — participated in the Israeli strikes, dropping some 50 munitions on three main targets: the Hodeidah and Ras Isa ports on Yemen’s western coast, and the Hezyaz power plant near the capital Sanaa.

Some of the Israeli jets are operating 1,200 miles from home and so refueling in the air—a critical practice perfected by Israel—is allowing them to extend the long arm of Israeli justice. They are masters of the air in the Middle East.

Islam is the problem. But let’s pray not much longer.

The Coming Reckoning

Everyone remembers Donald Trump’s vow immediately after winning the White House again. He issued a warning to Hamas: free our hostages, or face withering consequences.

We are now a little more than two weeks from inauguration. This has the same feel as Ronald Reagan’s vow in 1980 after winning the presidency. He told the mullahs to release our hostages—held more than a year in the era of Jimmy Carter’s soggy Oval Office occupation—and sure enough, they were on a plane bound for the U.S. as the inauguration commenced.

Does anyone really believe Hamas can stall Trump? I don’t.

The question is, how is this going to play out?

This week, Israel upped its game against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. At least two-thirds of the terrorists there have been eliminated in the past year. All the senior leadership is dead. The strategy now is to put maximum pressure on Hamas to release all hostages and at the moment, the IDF is killing lower-level Hamas leadership, the ones coordinating the continuous re-arming of what’s left of the terror group in Gaza.

There are myriad problems of course with the hostage situation. Urban warfare, various Palestinian factions even within Hamas, and the complete failure of the international community to advocate effectively for the hostages. A few leaked reports of the tortures they are enduring are so ghastly, one wonders how they will function if they are freed.

One thing Hamas and Iran did not count on was Israel’s response. It has been devastating. The devil Sinwar fully expected outside pressures would stop Israel from responding effectively. That was a grave miscalculation, pun intended. The IDF operation there has so destroyed Gaza, it will take decades to rebuild. Residents there are living in tents and I say, very much deserved. The photos of the leveled buildings is something to behold. It’s like Dresden 1945 on a much larger scale.

Of course, the demonic influences in this fetid place make the crocodile tears of Palestinians meaningless—at least to me.

The IDF has destroyed an “Officers’ Compound” in northern Gaza this week. There is a shock-and-awe operation going on in the region, as Israel ramps up pressure in anticipation of a completely different dynamic with Trump in office. There’s no other way to say it: the illegitimate Biden Regime committed treason by aiding and abetting our enemies, including and especially Muslim terrorists in the Middle East. They got people killed and they emboldened the worst people on the planet.

Israel has been doing the heavy lifting, but the question now is, how will the U.S. respond if the hostages aren’t on their way home in two weeks? Options range from sanctions and freezing bank accounts to actual military operations. It wouldn’t be the first time American special ops was in the region. One largely unknown example came in 2002, during the Second Intifada, when PLO terrorists took over the Church of the Nativity and desecrated sacred sites. U.S. commandos were dispatched then, and no doubt countless times we aren’t aware of.

Incredibly, because of U.S. diplomatic support, Hamas is still able to continue the mirage of “negotiations” for a ceasefire, and the killers want a deal as soon as possible, for obvious reasons. That nonsense is about to stop. For one thing, Hamas wants a permanent withdrawal of Israeli forces. That will never happen, which proves that the continued torture of hostages has no other purpose other than cruelty.

Whatever happens, Hamas is being finished. Let us hope that sanity returns to Washington the next four years, so that the demons that haunt our world will be kept at bay, if not outright destroyed.

It’s beyond time to take the trash out.
