By Gerald A. Honigman
This is a recent article from the website Patriot Pulse: Trump Drops the Hammer on Netanyahu with Two Words That Changed Everything
As can be seen in the above link, this Conservative right website’s article leaves much to be desired regarding fair reporting and is filled with blatant inaccuracies… if not something worse,
regarding Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu.
I say this as an old fashioned Liberal (think Daniel Patrick Moynihan) and modern Conservative mix myself—a NPA Independent who voted for President Trump twice.
If America had been repeatedly attacked by genocidal jihadi enemies crossing the Mexican or Canadian border to DELIBERATELY butcher tens of thousands of its own innocent civilians for decades, what would it have done long ago?
As is well known—but by necessity needs to be reiterated due to much of the world’s self-induced amnesia—Hamas’s very charter and raison d’etre is and calls for the total obliteration of the tiny, 9-15 mile wide, resurrected ancestral nation of Israel Reborn and Jews everywhere.
Read about this much corroborated ancestral history here:
Infants have been microwaved and beheaded; females of all ages brutally gang raped and mutilated; pregnant women shot in the abdomen at point blank range; families tied together and incinerated; civilian buses, restaurants, pizza parlors, and so forth blown up; etc., etc., etc…
Genocidal, depraved, Hamas monsters even built a museum complete with plastic models of Jewish body parts hanging from ceilings commemorating its Sbarro pizza parlor Jerusalem bombing and mass slaughter years ago.
On 9/11/2001, the same sort of jihadis murdered almost 3,000Americans.
Washington didn’t ask permission of Afghanistan or Pakistan to go after Osama bin Laden, al-Qaida, ISIS, and the Taliban. And many thousands of innocent Muslim civilians were killed there and in Iraq in subsequent wars which followed.
Israel can fit into America’s Lake Michigan twice. It’s not 3,000 miles wide with two vast oceans separating it from its existential enemies as America is. It’s surrounded by hundreds of millions of Arabs and other Muslims who want it obliterated for the sake of the Dar ul-Islam and “purely Arab patrimony.”
Israel suffered the equivalent of between 39-40,000 dead Americans on October 7th, 2023….America’s 9/11 on steroids. Once again, these innocents were DELIBERATELY targeted and slaughtered— far different from Arab civilians in Gaza who are killed in a war which the folks they voted into power started and who many have also aided and abetted.
Israel dropped millions of written messages, made hundreds of thousands of cell phone calls, and so forth to try to save its existential enemies’ civilian population from harm. It’s also supplied millions of pounds of food and other assistance to them as well. That Hamas hijacks the trucks is not Israel’s fault.
What other nation in all of recorded history has ever done so much to avoid casualties among its existential enemies’ non-combatants?
Answer: NONE…
The Patriot Pulses’s charges that Netanyahu is being unreasonable, in need of Trump publicly humiliating him, and that Israel is deliberately causing suffering and death to Arabs is not only ignorant and inaccurate, but smells of something far worse. And I use that accusation very cautiously.
It’s article indeed reads like something blatant antisemites like Tucker Carlson could have penned themselves. And of course the Carlsons often act offended at such all too accurate charges…
It appears that the Patriot Pulse expects the Jew of the Nations—Israel—to simply put up with what it would not expect America or any other nation so viciously attacked to tolerate.
Guess what that defines its editorial staff as?
Do I need to spell it out?
Once again to assure it sinks in, what other nation in history, when so brutally attacked, has done what Israel has done, thereby also telegraphing its punch, forfeiting the important element of surprise in pursuing Hamas & other jihadis who routinely commit atrocities in Israel, and then cowardly run back to hide behind their own women and children human shields?
This is a double war crime as defined by the Geneva Conventions on War—the Perfidy Clause, etc.
The following is a must read for the Patriot Pulse editors and anyone else pointing fingers at Israel, and was penned by one of the world’s leading experts on urban warfare:
With all the good the American leader has indeed accomplished (and I’ve written about several times), nonetheless, the Trump, Kushner, and Witkoff families are deeply financially tied to autocratic Arab petro-potentate rulers who are permitting their families to make billions of dollars in real estate and other ventures in the region.
In Qatar’s case, it’s also a major financial enabler of Hamas and other supremacist jihadi organizations. Ditto for Trump’s other good pal and oppressor of Kurds, Armenians, and Assyrian Christians, would,be Sultan Erdogan the Great’s Turkey.
The Qataris (Saudis, etc.) also spend billions of dollars to promote indoctrination instead of education in university and other institutions, greatly biasing Middle Eastern studies against Israel.
Regardless of what pundits, editors, and others like those at the Patriot Pulse think, Netanyahu has to look out for the safety of his constantly brutalized people—not the financial deals others are making via preventing Israel to assure that Hamas & Co. will not survive to do October 7 again and again—as it indeed has pledged to do.
Netanyahu and Israel deserve more respect than the Patriot Pulse and, unfortunately, President Trump give them.
Friends, regardless of how dominant they are, should not bully and intentionally embarrass their friends and allies the way Trump feels he has the right to treat Israel. When President Obama did such things to Netanyahu and Israel, it was extremely disturbing…
Trump is indeed light years better than Obama…so why did he stoop to the Nation of Islam’s virulent antisemite’s “Reverend” Louis Farakhan’s proclaimed “messiah’s” (Obama) level?
Israel had the same right to go after the masterminds of Hamas butchery in Qatar the same way America relentlessly pursued Osama bin Laden in Pakistan and Afghanistan…again, without asking permission of anyone.
Here’s a few of my own analyses on this troublesome issue regarding America’s best ally and friend in that troubled region of the world…here and here
America settled for nothing less than total victory over Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany and, along with our Allies, killed millions of innocent Japanese and Germans (and Vietnamese, etc. later) in our own wars in the process. We didn’t drop millions of leaflets, make phone calls to our enemies’s civilians, etc. either.
The Patriot Pulse owes the sole, minuscule, beleaguered nation of Israel Reborn and its embattled leader a huge apology.
As for the newest development in the Hamas-sired war, I hope I’m wrong, but right now, after studying this region and its wars extensively for over half century, I fear that this mediocre new “deal,” which will leave Hamas and others affiliated with it alive to fight another day, will wind up costing Israel once again in blood and innocent lives.
Here’s what any nation in Israel’s predicament requires instead…the same deal America demanded for itself after World War II:
Additionally, Israel must settle for no less than a permanent 8-10 mile wide heavily fortified buffer zone between itself and Gaza in Gaza itself.
It must be stressed that Gaza was indeed included in the original 1920 Mandate of Palestine (as was the Golan Heights and Judaea and Samaria), and Jews had age old ancestral connections to all of these territories themselves.
Keep all of this in mind when hypocrites all around the world, who’ve conquered and annexed other peoples’ lands for themselves (ESPECIALLY Arabs), question Israel and the Jewish People’s ancestral, well documented and corroborated claims to at least a significant portion of Judaea and Samaria as well…the sovereignty issue.
It isn’t the same as the Brits claiming sovereignty over territories more than 8,000 miles away from home, as in the Falkland Islands and such. Or, for that matter, America in Samoa, Russia in Ukraine, and so forth.

Israel land mass claims since 1947 Partition have been fully paid for with Jewish & Allies’ blood and lives, in defensive wars for existence.
The exchange rate is one ‘Jew’ = 199 trillion enemies, for starters.
The only way to explain this fanatical nonsense is to surmise that Mr Honigman is probably a happy recipient of Israeli munificence. For the simple truth is that back in 1900, Jews constituted 5% of the population of Palestine. Zionists only started arriving in numbers thereafter. And from 1920 on, the most extreme Zionists called the shots: Haganah was established, land acquisition (often theft) was accelerated and “Hebrew labour“, a policy of only hiring Jews, was strictly enforced. Jews not on board with the Zionist plan were harassed or simply murdered. In short, the Zionists – still a small minority – never showed the slightest interest in living peacefully with their neighbours or integrating with the rest of the population in the territory to which they’d arrived uninvited. And once Irgun and Lehi got going in the early 30s, bombing Arab markets & shooting up Arab villages became the preferred way of doing business.
But there is also a grim irony to Mr Honigman’s latest rant: after deliberately butchering some 20 000 innocent civilians & driving close to a million Palestinians out of their homes in 1948, after conducting successive expansionist drives to seize territory over the subsequent 70 years (and presiding over countless massacres along the way), and after executing a violent ethnic cleansing (± 100 000 dead so far) out in the open for the past 2 years, we are to believe that Israel is somehow still the “victim“! No sane person would buy into this. And none have: bar a shrinking minority in the US and some fanatics in Israel the rest of the world in 2025 has had enough of Zionist barbarism.
Moral issues aside, Israel has zero strategic value for the US and, from the Lavon affair to Epstein, has proved to be a thoroughly untrustworthy ally. Americans are sitting with a $37 trillion deficit, & facing huge social problems in their own country. There is NO REASON US taxpayers should have to subsidize Israel’s budget every year and provide the country with a blank check whenever it goes to war. If Israel cannot live in peace with its neighbours, like any mature nation, and wishes to conduct endless wars then it needs to pay for them itself and make its way in the world alone.
The Minutes of the Permanent Mandates Commission of the League of Nations, correspondence of Colonial Secretary Winston Churchill,, British East Bank (Transjordanian) representative, Sir Alec Kirkbride in “A Crackle of Thorns,, and other official documents testify to the fact that the vast majority of alleged “native ‘Palestinians’”
were undoubtedly newly arriving Arabs entering from the mid 19th century onwards into what would become the original 1920
Mandate of Palestine..
Thousands of native Egyptians arrived with the army of Muhammad Ali and son, Ibrahim Pash’s army to grab land from a weakened Ottoman Turkish Empire and never left. Yasir Arafat, born in Cairo himself, arrived several decades later. Having Hitler’s Waffen SS leader for the Balkans, Hajj Amin al-Husseni,
Grand Mufti of Jerusalem as his mentor, Arafat would form the PLO in the Soviet Union with its help in 1964.
During the early Mandate era, lots of economic activity was happening because of the return of Jews to their ancestrlsl homeland . This resulted in huge numbers of Arabs flocking into the Msndate.
Among these immigrant new Arab settlers was Sheikh Izz eddin al-Qassam, from Latakia, Syria, who came into the Mandate with scores of thousands of other fellow Syrian Arabs. Hamas’s butcher brigades and rockets are named for him.
While these Egyptian, Syrian, North African,, and other foreign Arabs, with high birth rates, became known as “native Palestinians” later on, scores of thousands of Syrian Jews, and over 700,000 other Sefardi and Mizrahi Jews, fleeing for their lives from Arab and other Muslim lands, were branded “settlers.”
Arthur’s pathetic charge of genocide against Israel is obviously so ignorant it doesn’t deserve a response..
But Major John Spencer of West Point, one of the world’s best experts on urban warfare has done extensive research in the field in Gaza and has written extensively on this issue.:

There is an air of desperation to Mr Honigman straw-clutching justifications. But pesky facts keep getting in the way! The most pertinent of which is that it was never the intention of the Zionist leadership to reside peacefully with the indigenous Arab population in Palestine. Long before WWII began, weapons were being smuggled into Palestine by the Haganah under the noses of the British administration. And today’s Hamas look like kindergarten kids compared to the exploits of Zionist terrorists: not even the most high-ranking, impartial, international mediators were exempt from Zionist violence.
The simple fact is that, given the intransigent & exclusive nature of Zionist ideology and the fanaticism of its followers, an ethnic cleansing was always going to happen. As David Ben-Gurion said: “We have come and we have stolen their country. Why would they accept that?” And so, not unlike initial preparations for the holocaust, the 1948 ethnic cleansing was meticulously planned. Starting in 1940, a very small, dedicated group under David Ben-Gurion systematically compiled data on every Arab settlement which to be eradicated by military force when the time came.
However, the real fools in the whole story of modern Israel have been Americans. They have naively supported Israel to the hilt, given annual aid, funded Israel’s endless wars and covered for them in international forums, often to the detriment of US interests. It’s never enough though; the demands keep coming. One has to admire the chutzpah – and the ruthlessness – of this tiny, geopolitically insignificant, country literally determining policy for the most powerful country on the planet. The outsize and thoroughly malign influence which Israel exerts on the US may finally be coming to an end though. There are some things which no amount of influence, money and threats can sweep under the carpet: like doing a genocide; and sanctioning your intelligence agency to run a blackmail ring trafficking minors to powerful people in countries you call your “friends”. Is Israel immune from international retribution for these sorts of crimes? The Nazi regime wasn’t!
Arthur, your obvious obsession to single out Israel for alleged faults and crimes indeed actually being committed in the name of Arabism and Arabized/Islamistized other people such as Boko Haram blacks slaughtering thousands of non-Muslim blacks; Arabized/Islamistized Pakistanis murdering Hindus and Sikhs in India; Arab Islamists murdering Copts, Assyrian Christianss, Yazidis, and Kurds in the Middle East and elsewhere exposes your own blatant hatred of anything Jewish.
You obviously did not read any of the impeccably researched links I provided before or you wouldn’t be dishing out your one sided, prejudiced inaccuracies right now..
You want to discover real genocide, then focus upon what has been going on in Sudan and neighboring black African countries in the name of Arabism and the spread of the Dar ul-Islam up to the present day.
Learn about the Arab Anfal Campaign which used poison gas and other means to murder 250,000 Kurds in Iraq in the’80s.
You’re not interested in such things, for sure.
If you can’t concoct or twist truth regarding the sole, resurrected, nation of Israel Reborn, your interest in such matters disappears.
Don’t expect any further responses from me.
You’re not worth my time .
Bluster is not a response. We speak of Israel because Mr Honigman only ever writes of Israel, in the most hysterical and incendiary manner, and displaying a breath-taking ignorance of history together with a determined denial to acknowledge even the simplest facts about Zionism. This is, of course, the essence of propaganda: lies sprinkled with half-truths, repeated endlessly; distractions and deflections from the unpleasant truths about a brutal regime.
The fact is you cannot hide the truth forever: the Bolshevik and Nazi regimes, every bit as adept at propaganda as Israel’s Hasbara propaganda machine, discovered that; and when they collapsed their evil was exposed for all to see. The information dam is beginning to fail for Israel too now: modern communications makes censorship more difficult; and crude attempts to smear critics as “antisemites” have become counter productive.
Meanwhile, the facts about what Israel has been doing in Gaza are there for all to see; clear evidence, frequently documented on social media by Israeli participants themselves. IDF soldiers film their colleagues torturing & gang-raping detainees; snipers gloat about their count of “hits” (woman & children as young as 5) for the day (it’s a fun game for them with different body parts focussed on each day); senior Israeli politicians demand that food support be cut off; soldiers cheer as apartment blocks full of civilians are indiscriminately bombed; aid convoys are attacked by “freelancer” Israeli civilians. Confronted with verified evidence of a detainee tortured and gang-raped, the prime minister of Israel calls it a “PR attack“; fellow lawmakers cheer on the torturers: “Everything is legitimate”; the perpetrators are “our best heroes” chimes in a government minister. And there’s more for them to cheer: let us not forget one of Israel’s greatest achievements, the creation in Gaza of the world’s largest population of child amputees.
Amidst all this, the world is gaslit by the likes of Mr Honigman with the fantastic tale of “the most moral army in the world“. This is the morality we are dealing with. Once upon a time the civilized countries of the world fought a long war to put a stop to this kind of barbarism. Right now, all that is keeping the barbarian from being fully ostracised is its tether to the US. But the rope is fraying. How long before it breaks?
I wouldn’t waste any more energy on the mysterious ‘Arthur’. Clearly he is a lost soul. Sounds like a self hater to me because of his relentless attempts to frame his obvious BS as fact using big words. Sounds like he is using AI to write his replies.
He’s off the deep end. Forget about him. Hopefully he moves to Gaza since he seems to be so in love with those ‘friendly, innocent, peace loving people’ .
Firstly another well informed article Mr. Honigman.
It seems as though this Arthur fellow seems to have a gripe against Jews, Israel and also the basic history, not to mention realities, of both Middle Eastern history and the Arab-Jewish conflict.
The first bit of history outlines a continual Jewish presence in the land since, at least, the 14th century BCE ref. Amarna Letters or the Merneptah Stele.
The only “ethnic cleansing” that happened from that specific region was first done by the Romans ref. Arch of Titus and the renaming of the rebellious Judea to Syria-Palaestina. The birth of the historical “Palestinian” – if any ever existed at all – people.
The REAL ethnic cleansing happened from 623 onward turning over 20, once non, Arab and Islamic lands, peoples, cultures, nations, societies into “The Arab World”; of course this includes “The Holy Land”.
If this “Arthur” person wishes to speak of “ethnic cleansing” in a modern context, I wonder why he doesn’t bother to ask why Bethlehem went from vast majority Christian town to barley making 10% today with Islam/Arabs making some 90%?
Further, Arthur must take a step back and rethink his dating because the first large Zionist (which comes in three major forms: Labor Zionism: “Jewish Socialism”, Revisionist Zionism: Jewish Nationalism and Religious Zionism which comes from the Bible starting with Abraham leaving Ur for Canaan. All are very different) came in the early 1880s; 1882 I believe.
Another fact which seems to be unknown to Arthur is that in 1867 American Author Mark Twain toured The Holy Land – not “Palestine” – and didn’t see any “Palestinians”. In fact, he documents what he did see…a land of desolation and ruin.
Now let me get down to a bit of brass tax that has nothing to do with the “Zionists” but has to do with historical fact about the so-called “Palestinians” and Islam specifically…
Firstly, this Earth, throughout its 4.54 billion year history has never known any country, nation, state, kingdom or any “people” by that name until, specifically, their invention in 1964. This is perhaps one reason why one will not find any “Palestine” or “Palestinians” in the Jew’s Bible. This is also why you’ll find none in The New Testament. This is also why one also won’t find any in the Qur’an.
The answer to this perplexing bit of fake news is that neither Moses, Jesus nor Muhammad knew any either. In fact, neither did ancient Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Hittusa, Moab, Greece or Rome. Those pesky Hewbrew speaking rebellious Judeans; who happened to rebel against Rome at the same time as the Celtic Tribes of the UK during the Boudican Revolt.
There goes the entire “Palestinian” claim to anything aside from Arabia from where they sprang from the Jihad against the kafir. The Battle of Yarmouk would be a good starting point or the Battle of the Trench for another..
Now to end my bit on this horrible subject as no fan of the government of Israel, one must acknowledge that Islam, like Socialism, is the major problem here. Islam does not afford peace with the kafir especially the Jew for turning away Muhammad as a fraud: refer the Battle of the Trench as presented in the Islamic texts/Hadith.
Further, Islam has ethnically cleansed and submitted some 50, once non, Islamic lands and peoples.
Muhammad himself placed his faith and followers into a state of perpetual war against the kafir/harbis in 623 during the Nakhla Raids with the obligation of ‘submitting’ all that is non-Islamic to allah and the sharia via any means necessary: al-Jihad.
What the so-called “Palestinians” did to the kafir on October 7th last year was, without question, based on Islamic theopolitical jurisprudence – Islam – itself as shown through both word and deed of Muhammad. Muhammad personally lead numerous campaigns of deception, plunder, rape, massacre and enslavement while sanctioning many more. How else does one reason why Constantinople is called Istanbul or that a goodly portion of the Hind was lopped off to make “the land of the pure”: Pakistan?
When the highest honor in Islam is to live a life in emulation of the most perfect, most pure, most esteemed: Muhammad can anyone really question why a Muslim who ‘finds himself’ turns into a Jihadist?
There’s a reason why Spain took 770 years to extirpate Islam from its soil. I just pray that the Joos – and Netanyahu – find the strength to expose the massive Communist invented ahistorical genocidal “Palestinian” mythology and the religion that is directly responsible for some 200 million dead and ANNEX all their lands West of the Jordan River: Judea, Samaria and Gaza. Then get to work extirpating both Islam and Socialism from its soil. Perhaps then, Israel might become “a light among the nations” so the rest of us can do likewise…..
Keep up the excellent work Mr. Honigman….. I wish Netanyahu would seek your advice instead of the current “land for” a mythical an unattainable “peace” lillipitians…
Make Canada CANADIAN Again!
Just a few observations about Arthur.
He claims the original zionists had certain Intentions. Did he speak to them? How would he be able to read their minds? Is he that old?
He says Israel is an insignificant nation. Then why are so many millions of Arabs after it? It actually was insignificant until the jews began to run the show.
Does Arthur deny the biblical history of Israel, Judah, King Solomon and King David? Biblical Israel included Gaza and every square inch of the land often called erroneously Palestine.
If few jews lived there in the centuries prior to 1948, it was because they were militarily forced out by powerful enemies not because the jews sold their land, or abandoned their land.
Their land was stolen.
If I steal Arthur’s property, it will never be mine. It will always be his whether he has possession of it or not. That is the law of ownership.
Arthur alleges all the rapes of Arabs by IDF. Ok, so where is his evidence. Was he present at the rapes? Did he photograph them all. Share the proof.
Finally, Arthur claims the jewish terrorist organizations make Hamas look like kindergarten. If so, then how is there any Hamas at all.
Is Arthur a jew or is his real name Adolph?
