THE JEWISH PROBLEM – AND THE SOLUTION
Three years ago today, Hamas, designated by Western nations as a terrorist organization, launched a large-scale, coordinated attack on Israel – killing about 1,200 people and taking over 240 hostages. This was Israel’s Pearl Harbor.
The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor led the U.S. into World War Two. They declared war on Japan on December 8, 1941, and three days later they joined The Allies against Germany and Italy. Italy switched sides and declared war on Germany on October 13, 1943. Germany surrendered unconditionally on May 8, 1945, and Japan surrendered unconditionally on September 2, 1945. To the best of my knowledge, this would be the last time The West, led by The U.S., would have the courage and determination to go to war with unconditional surrender as their goal.
In the Korean War (June 25, 1950 to July 27, 1953) The United Nations led by The United States did not fight for unconditional surrender. In the end the U.S. alone had over 36,000 deaths, and today North Korea has about 50 nuclear warheads and is building another one every two months.
In the Vietnam War the U.S. did not fight for unconditional surrender; they surrendered unconditionally when thrown out of Vietnam in disgrace.
In the Iraq war The U.S. did not fight for unconditional surrender. They did get Saddam, but left a power vacuum that contributed to a lengthy insurgency. Iran is over 90% Shia Islam; it’s their state religion. Iraq is over 60% Shia Islam and has strong leanings towards Iran. They are or are becoming a puppet state of Iran.
In the Afghanistan war (2001 to 2021) NATO led by the U.S. did not fight for unconditional surrender. Thousands of coalition soldiers died, and now the Taliban is in control, and it’s the home of a resurging Al-Qaida.
And then there’s Israel that lacked the courage and commitment to fight for unconditional surrender. What did they do? They continued to send food, water and electricity into Gaza! How in hell does that help in a war for unconditional surrender?! Israel should have totally blockaded Gaza allowing no commodities or people in or out of Gaza without Israel’s permission. They should have sent in their special forces to rescue as many hostages as possible. This war has dragged on for three years with Hamas still in charge in Gaza. In my opinion it should have been over in three weeks.
For the past 75 years The West has not had the courage or commitment to fight for its values – freedom, the right to life and property, and the rule of law. It’s fight for unconditional surrender or surrender those values.
Underlying all this is the real problem – tribalism, and the solution to tribalism is individualism, where a man is judged not by the tribe he belongs to, but by his character.
And what builds character. Check out my post (You may have to copy and paste) – a 3 minute read.
