Question: What nation or people is the only one not permitted by others to win and actually be victorious in war?
Answer: Jews and the Jew of the Nations, Israel, of course.
It’s admittedly difficult when, as billions in the Christian West have been taught for millennia, that Jews were “G_d killers,” poisoners of wells, children of the Devil, etc.; forcibly expelled, burned at the stake, ghettoized, and so forth, seeing them in anything other than an extremely negative light.
How else to explain the astronomical resurgence of deadly, virulent antisemitism in the wake of the largest grotesque slaughter of innocent Jews in a single day in history since the Holocaust on Simchat Torah, October 7, 2023? The equivalent of about 39,000 American civilians were wantonly massacred that day.
Instead of sympathy, empathy, or whatever, Jews received hundreds of thousands of folks siding with their butchers instead….and also in the realm of “enlightened”—but allegedly “woke”— academia, no less.
For billions of others in the realm of Islam, this same people—who brought to both halves of the lands of the Great Diaspora the very knowledge of G_d, the Ten Commandments, the Holy Bible (Torah), wisdom of the Hebrew Prophets, Moral and Ethical writings and teachings, and so forth—the same old ingrained attitudes derived from the Qur’an and Hadith remained alive and towards their “kilab yahud” Jew dog killers of prophets, and sons of apes and pigs.
Okay, so much for my introductory remarks…
Since it’s miraculous rebirth on less than one half of one percent of the land mass of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) in May 1948 (within the very same week of my own worldly debut on May 8th), Israel, as in ancient times as well, has frequently known war.
After a half dozen Arab nations (including today’s Jordan, itself formed from almost 80% of the original 1920 Mandate of Palestine in 1922) attacked it immediately in May 1948, the United Nations stood by and did absolutely nothing until, at great human loss, Israel managed to turn the tide.
Only at that moment did the UN then intercede, at the pleas of the Arab aggressors, to limit their territorial losses.
The UN imposed Auschwitz/armistice lines in 1949 which turned Israel—whose Jews originally were to have access to the entire Mandate of Palestine on both sides of the Jordan River (along with Arabs, Circassians, and other peoples living in the Mandate)—into a 9-15 mile-wide sardine can of a nation. BUT, it was also stated that these were just armistice lines—NOT permanent recognized borders.
One half of Israel’s Jewish population soon came to consist of refugees, the Mizrahi and Sefardi families, who fled Arab and other Islamic countries…more in numbers than Arabs, who fled the fighting in the opposite direction that the surrounding Arab nations themselves started, by attacking a reborn, minuscule Israel in ’48.
Arabs made out quite nicely after World War I, obtaining, to date, almost two dozen nations on over 6 million square miles of land—most colonized, settled, and conquered from the 7th century CE. onwards (clear up to the present day) mostly from native non-Arab peoples like Copts, Kurds, Imazighen/”Berbers,” black Africans, Hindus, Buddhists, Greeks, Armenians, Persians, Sikhs, Jews, Assyrians, Chaldeans, and other ethnic groups as well.
Where are the demonstrations today for the plight of any of these Arab (and Turkish) oppressed and subjugated (often slaughtered) peoples, who’ve had their very languages and cultures frequently outlawed in the region ARABISM/Arab nationalism has claimed to be solely “purely Arab patrimony”:
Since 1948, Arabs, and later after 1979 Arabized and Islamistized Iranians, have lived by the battle cry, “Itbach al-Yahud”—slaughter the Jews—in preparation for the next round of fighting to deny Jews their lone, resurrected nation.
The saying comes right out of Muslim teachings to behead (“strike the neck”) the kafir/infidels who did not submit or convert, starting right from the get go with the Jewish tribes who founded the date palm oasis of Medina, after fleeing Roman conquered Judaea, and who gave Muhammad refuge from his enemies in Mecca.
The Prophet of Islam learned much from his Jewish teachers, so left the pagan ways of his past and turned the direction of prayer (qibla) for his followers towards Jerusalem, as his Jewish hosts did.
In many ways, a reading of the Qur’an is like reading an Arabized version of the Hebrew Bible, with Moses (Musa) mentioned more than anyone else except Muhammad, Abraham (Ibrahim), the Angel Gabriel, the Hebrew Prophet Zekariah, and so forth.
When Medina and other Arabian Peninsula Jews refused to accept his religio-political claims as the “Seal of the Prophets, and other political leadership assertions, he beheaded all the males and enslaved the women and children.
Hamas, Fatah, Islamic Jihad, the PLO, Hizbullah, ISIS, most Arab armies, and too many Salafi-schooled Imam educated, just plain “ordinary” Arab civilians learned his Itbach al-Yahud lessons well. So many of them happily joined the bloodlust of October 7, 2023, aid and abet Hamas, and so forth. See here, but be aware that there’s graphic photos provided by Hamas itself inside, and the two internal links are critical to understanding this conflict:
Fifty years earlier, when brutally attacked on the most sacred Holy Day of the Hebrew calendar, Yom Kippur, in October 1973, Israel was almost defeated.
Urged on by the Itbach al-Yahud battle cry and jihadi longing for revenge at losing part of lands previously conquered on behalf of the Dar ul-Islam, there’s no doubt about what the fate of Israel’s Jews would have been had Egypt, Syria, Jordan, and Iraqi had prevailed.
The Muslim Brotherhood has wide support in Egypt and Jordan, and is the “older brother” of Hamas with its same jihadi, supremacist, murderous attitude towards the kilab yahud.
Think of the mass butchery of Hamas and just “ordinary” other Gaza Arabs in Israel in October 2023 as a reference point, when Jewish infants were microwaved and beheaded; families were tied together and burned alive; females of all ages were brutally gang raped, having their private parts grotesquely mutilated afterwards; etc. and so forth.
After recovering from the initial shock of the October’73 Yom Kippur attack (some three thousand IDF soldiers and airmen were killed, the equivalent of America losing about 170,000 troops), under the amazing, “thinking out of the box” leadership of some very innovative generals, Israel managed to greatly turn the tide of this horribly costly war.
One tank commander stood out among others…the late General Ariel (Arik) Sharon.
He managed to cut off and encircle the entire Egyptian Third Army.
Checkmate…For any other nation, that is.
But these were Jews, and as in 1948, when the United Nauseating Nations and other folks did nothing when Israel was brutally attacked, but acted to save the Arab attackers collective derrières when the tide of battle turned, the UN and others jumped in to do likewise again.
American Secretary of State Henry Machiavelli von Bismarck came to Egypt’s rescue and forced Israel to allow resupply of food, water, etc. to the very same folks who brutally attacked it, and would have laughed at the thought of listening to Kissinger or anyone else had this situation been reversed. Kissinger also refused to resupply Israel in an urgent, timely manner as the Soviet Union was doing for the Arabs. Well informed sources said that stated that he wanted Israel to bleed more, to make it more susceptible to pressure at the negotiations afterwards. See here:
Hind sight is often the best sight, and President Sadat of Egypt did eventually fly to Jerusalem to make peace with Israel. Unfortunately, he was assassinated for this.
Peace also could have been achieved along with an Egyptian surrender.
But, it was said that Israel could not be allowed to win, even though it had been viciously attacked, for the sake of Arab pride.
Give me a break…
When we defeated the Nazis and Imperial Japan, did we or our Allies give a hoot about German or Japanese pride?
We demanded total, unconditional SURRENDER.
We are at the same crossroads today, only with a genocidal Islamist Iran and its proxies, all who also espouse the same Itbach al-Yahud mentality, deliberately target Jewish innocents, and have as their same collective goal the total obliteration of Israel and murder of Jews everywhere.
The Jews must finally get their unconditional victory over such totally rejectionist, genocidal enemies.
