True Colors Revealed

Israel is facing a growing number of nations critical of the new Gaza offensive and Prime Minister Netanyahu is taking it lying down as we read in an article from the Jewish News Syndicate:

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday criticized the leaders of France, the United Kingdom and Canada after they warned of “concrete actions” unless Jerusalem halts its war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

He was clear on why he returned fire on these nations:

“By asking Israel to end a defensive war for our survival before Hamas terrorists on our border are destroyed, and by demanding a Palestinian state, the leaders in London, Ottawa, and Paris are offering a huge prize for the genocidal attack on Israel on Oct. 7, while inviting more such atrocities,” he said according to a statement from his office.

He reminded these nations why the war started in the first place:

The statement reiterated that the war began when “Palestinian terrorists stormed our borders, murdered 1,200 innocent people and abducted over 250 more innocents to the dungeons of Gaza.”

The PM then promoted how the end of the conflict could happen and tells these nations who he agrees with:

Netanyahu noted that Israel backs U.S. President Donald Trump’s peace vision and urged European leaders to do the same.

“The war can end tomorrow if the remaining hostages are released, Hamas lays down its arms, its murderous leaders are exiled, and Gaza is demilitarized. No nation can be expected to accept anything less, and Israel certainly won’t,” the statement continued.

“This is a war of civilization over barbarism. Israel will continue to defend itself by just means until total victory is achieved,” it concluded.

Jointly Pro-Hamas

The lines of this war are pretty clear and by allowing Hamas to survive and give them a place to create their own state they are not friends of Israel at all. Using the humanitarian issue to pull at the heartstrings of the world again misses who is actually causing the shortages. Still they use it give the terrorists exactly what they want:

Earlier on Monday, the three countries issued a joint communiqué expressing strong opposition to expanded Israel Defense Forces operations in Gaza and calling for the establishment of a Palestinian state.

“The level of human suffering in Gaza is intolerable. Yesterday’s announcement that Israel will allow a basic quantity of food into Gaza is wholly inadequate. We call on the Israeli government to stop its military operations in Gaza and immediately allow humanitarian aid to enter,” the statement read.

As if supporting Israel’s right to defend itself makes their criticism about how Israel fights this war, these nations forget how Hamas works. No nation can co-exist with terrorists on their doorsteps who to this day vow that Israel has no right to exist and all Jews should be killed. And when Israel actually goes into Gaza to defeat these terrorists by following international war rules, rules that these nations support and rules that Hamas breaks daily, they through a fit:

While reaffirming support for the Jewish state’s right to self-defense, the countries said the current military escalation was unjustified.

“Israel suffered a heinous attack on Oct. 7. We have always supported Israel’s right to defend Israelis against terrorism. But this escalation is wholly disproportionate,” they said. “We will not stand by while the Netanyahu government pursues these egregious actions. If Israel does not cease the renewed military offensive and lift its restrictions on humanitarian aid, we will take further concrete actions in response.”

Concrete actions? Clearly a line is being drawn in the sand over the conditions in Gaza and to make matters worse they are then pushing for the failed experiment of a two-state solution:

The statement also reiterated support for a two-state solution, pointing to an upcoming international conference co-chaired by Saudi Arabia and France, scheduled to take place next month in New York.

“These negotiations need to succeed, and we must all work towards the implementation of a two-state solution, which is the only way to bring long-lasting peace and security that both Israelis and Palestinians deserve and ensure long-term stability in the region,” the countries said.

Stability certainly won’t come from doing this. It never has and never will. Are these nations blind to how this so-called solution worked when it was last tried? Have the citizens who overwhelmingly voted in Hamas and the recent polling shows still support changed? Insanity is defined as trying the same things over and over again and expecting a different result. The FM of Israel also is critical of Hamas

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar strongly criticized Hamas’s praise for the countries’ statement, which the terrorist group called “a step in the right direction.” Sa’ar wrote on X: “What a disgrace.”

Israel is also drawing a line in the sand and will not be bullied into submission as their very existence depends on this:

Speaking at the World Jewish Congress General Assembly in Jerusalem on Tuesday morning, Sa’ar said: “I want to tell every country, mainly those who had colonial pasts—this is a proud nation, an independent nation, fighting for its existence. We will not accept any dictates from outside with regard to our national security!”

If anyone is listening, I continue to say that Israel will have to win this war on its own and these three nations are just the tip of the iceberg of those who will side with Hamas and the terrorists and against Israel. Rumors of Norway pig piling are circulating. Could this be happening because Europe has allowed a mass influx of Muslims into their countries? We’d be blind to that not being a factor. Besides, if humanitarian conditions are the issue, why not lay it at the feet of the ones who aren’t letting the aid get to the people in the first place? Not a peep is heard about Hamas who hoards it and then sells it at high costs to the people who should be getting it for free. In Genesis 12:3 we see how God views this and these nations would be wise to read it now:

I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you…(TLB)
