There are times when one has enough. For two millennia, we the Jewish people have been tortured, exiled, murdered, and desecrated as we have wandered from place to place in our long exile away from our eternal homeland. We are not like other people, the pain of our past is transferred to each generation and sits in the recesses of our memories and hearts. We feel what our ancestors felt. Watching the desecration of the bodies of Ofer Lifschitz and Shiri Bibas and her two children has snapped the the last strand of passivity, anything that was left of that false conception after October 7th.
It is bad enough a mother and her young children were kidnapped, but to desecrate their lifeless bodies before handing them over under the gaze of thousands of Gazan “civilians” is beyond evil – it sadistic and demonic. It is time for the Gazans to go - not just Hamas, but all of the Gazans. Their culture is sub-human and does not deserve to exist.
Prime Minister Netanyahu said the following: “Our hearts are broken, but our spirits are not broken. And with this spirit: We will return all our hostages, destroy the murderers, eliminate Hamas, and together – with God’s help – we will secure our future.”
Trump was reported to have said the following to his aides after watching today’s spectacle: “I want to see Gaza wiped out. I don’t want to see even one building standing.”
Reports from high level members of Netanyahu’s government is that “there will be no phase 2.”
So what happens now? There is now widespread support for essentially wiping Gaza off the face of the earth. Those of us who protested against the forced removal (ethnic cleansing) of Jews from Gaza in 2005 knew it would get to this. It was obvious that Hamas and its supporters would take over the Gaza Strip and turn it into a hell hole which they would use to attempt to destroy the Jewish people and Israel.
Now the country understands that it must shed the humanistic infection that has overtaken the Jewish people since the days of the enlightenment. In a way, the Bibas murders are a point of awakening to return to ourselves - to the people that are meant to destroy Amalek in every generation. Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Fatah and all of their supporters are the Amalekits of our generation - and yes the only remedy is to wipe them out. If that is too much then they must all be expelled - now! Only then will we be victorious.
