When Hamas kidnapped Israelis on October 7 to exchange for about 3,000 kidnapped Palestinians Israel held in its prison, Israel, under the radical government of Benjamin Netanyahu, chose to strike with extreme violence. Instead of deciding to negotiate a settlement for an exchange of prisoners and hunt the Hamas perpetrators, later, one at a time, like it always did. This morning, a truck slammed into a bus stop, which killed and injured up to 50 Israelis, many of them soldiers heading to their barracks. When Israel chose war and war came to Israel, we do not want to hear from Netanyahu’s government that it is a victim of Palestinian response to its terror in Gaza, and elsewhere.
Mind you, we almost guarantee this is one of many to come acts of revenge the Palestinian intend to exact on Israeli for its war on their women and children in Gaza. The Palestinians have lost their humanity towards the Israelis, the same way the Israelis lost theirs towards the Palestinian people.
Israel cannot be on alert 24/7. It’s humanly and technologically impossible, given the number of Palestinians Israel is subjecting to violence and humiliation. Yet, Israel does not seem to understand this simple concept. Resistance is in the blood of the Palestinian people until they get their own country, and if 76 years of resistance the Israelis have failed to understand their aspirations, it should not complain when Palestinians strike back.
As much we want to feel the pain of the Israelis for this bus stop attack, we cannot find it in our hearts to do so as we watch Israel mass murder women and children in Gaza.
MANY MORE ATTACKS TO COME
It is unfortunate, but it is also true, that this bus stop attack in Glikot, near the Mossad HQ, will inspire other suffering Palestinians to mount their own attacks on the Israelis inside Israel. It is as sure as the sunrise and sunset. The more the Palestinian people watch the horrors Israel is perpetrating in Gaza with the total complicity of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, the more they will attack inside Israel.
In fact, the success of this operation, which succeeded in killing and injuring up to 50 Israelis, will turn into a call for arms among the Palestinian youth. They would rather die than live under the boot of the Israeli system of apartheid.
Again, something many Israelis refuse to understand or reason with because their indoctrination, ever since Netanyahu has come to power, has been total and complete. They all consider the Palestinians as animals, and therefore not worthy of a homeland of their own.
Well, what do you know, Israel is discovering that even animals can ferociously attack them.
As much we want to feel the pain of the Israelis for this bus stop attack, we cannot find it in our hearts to do so as we watch Israel mass murder women and children in Gaza. These civilians are not animals. They are the result of decades of oppression by Israel, and their sons’ retaliation is nothing but Israeli aggression coming home to roost.
