WhatsappSomething doesn’t add up as Israel announces plans to totally destroy Hamas and liberate all of Gaza.
Since day one of this war, many on the political left in Israel have insisted that Prime Minister Netanyahu is to blame for Hamas existing and for carrying out the Oct. 7th massacre. That it was due to Netanyahu’s security policies failed to prevent October 7th. That he didn’t destroy Hamas all the years he was Prime Minister when he should have.
That’s a serious accusation, and while it may make for a compelling soundbite, it doesn’t hold up under honest scrutiny. It ignores the fact that Israel’s entire security establishment, all these years, advised Netanyahu to “manage” Hamas, based on the widespread belief that Hamas was “deterred” and primarily interested in “economic stability in Gaza”, as their advice to Netanyahu days before Oct 7th clearly exemplifies, to allow in tens of thousands of more Gazans to work in Israel. Pinning all the blame solely on Netanyahu is not just simplistic, it’s misleading.
But now, as Netanyahu finally makes it clear that he intends to finish the job, to defeat Hamas completely and ensure October 7th never happens again by taking all of Gaza, those same critics are suddenly telling him to stop. That going all the way is too dangerous. That there is no national consensus for such an act. That we must end the war now.
Let’s be honest: this isn’t about policy, and it never war. This has always been about politics. If Netanyahu is blamed for not destroying Hamas, and then attacked again for trying to destroy Hamas, then the real issue isn’t what he does. It’s that it’s him and his government doing it.
This is a dangerous hypocrisy, and undecided Israelis, those still weighing where they stand, need to recognize it for what it is.
Because here’s the truth: our Islamonaz*i enemies don’t play by our rules.
For them, simply surviving to fight another day is victory.
Surviving another day means they can rearm. Regroup. Launch more rockets. Dig more tunnels. Kidnap more of our people.
That’s what happened after the last major offensive in Gaza in 2014. That’s what led to October 7th. And if Hamas is left standing, even in one neighborhood of Gaza, they will do it all again, and they have made that intent loud and clear.
How can anyone ignore the reality of who we’re fighting? This is an enemy that built its terror infrastructure under homes, children’s bedrooms, schools, and hospitals, not by accident, but by design. They use their own civilians, mothers and babies, as human shields, turning every neighborhood into a battlefield while hiding behind their own, so that their dead non-combatants help them win in the war of images, a PR battle, against Israel. That’s not just cruel, it’s multiple war crime. And yet somehow, the outrage from the political left is still directed at Netanyahu and his government for wanting to put a total end to this?
And it’s not just about our Islamonaz*i enemy in Gaza. Every terror group, every radical regime, and every Jew-hater around the world is watching how this ends.
If Hamas survives, they win. And when they win, they inspire. From Tehran to Beirut to London to U.S. college campuses, a Hamas that survives to fight, kill and kidnap us another day, this war gives strength to every one of our enemies, near and far.
But if we finish the job, if Israel stands strong and dismantles Hamas entirely and liberate all of Gaza, we send a different message: Never again means never again. Not just words. Action. Clarity. Strength.
That’s why this war cannot end halfway. That’s why the only path to true security for all Israelis, left, right, secular, religious, Jew, Arab, is total victory in Gaza which includes Israel returning as sovereign over all of Gaza, making Gaza Jewish again and implementing Trump’s Gaza emigration policy, so that Gaza is empty of an enemy population that educates its children via its mothers milk to dream of killing Jews.
We all want to protect our soldiers and bring our hostages home alive. But there is no safety in retreat. There is no peace in indecision. And there is no deterrence in unfinished business.
This war is not about a politician. It is about our future.
It is about whether Israeli children can grow up without sirens, bomb shelters, and the threat of kidnappings. It is about whether Israel can defend itself without apology. It is about whether we stand united against those who seek to destroy us, or whether we tear ourselves apart mid-battle.
Calls for a referendum or bringing down the government while this war is still not finished are not just ill-timed they’re reckless.
This is a just war. And like every just war, it must end in victory, not ambiguity.
The time for political debates will come. But only after we win and ensure that we are protected moving forward.
Until then, we owe it to our soldiers, our hostages, and our future, to finish the mission.
Total victory in Gaza. Nothing less will protect us. Nothing less will deter our enemies. Nothing less will honor those we’ve already lost.
Am Yisrael Chai!!!
