Israel is not losing its wars against radical Islamic terrorists in Gaza, at least not as we are led to believe by the Western media and political apparatuses.
The usual pessimism runs something like this: no state can eradicate terrorism, especially of the radical Islamic brand. Terrorist, Hamas-like cells, we are further lectured, are like temporary emulsified oil drops floating in water: however, scattered and smashed, eventually, in Terminator-fashion, they aggregate and recombine.
But is that really true?
Aside from once globally murderous but now extinct creeds such as Soviet communism, German Nazism, and Italian fascism, there are lots of terrorist groups that remain scattered and unable to pose major threats, from the Ku Klux Klan to Black September to ISIS to the Weathermen.
Hamas can meet the same fate and follow the downward path of a myriad of Palestinian terrorist organizations that have no popular support, few members, and are little more than loud, but otherwise vestigial public relations megaphones. A once deadly ISIS that almost absorbed half of Iraq was bombed by the Trump administration into oblivion. The IDF already has killed perhaps 15,000 Gaza “militants” or about 65-70 percent of Hamas’ active terrorists in Gaza, including much of its high command.
Surviving architects of the October 7 massacres are now either ensconced abroad, with targets on their backs should they return to Gaza, or remain in hiding in what is left of some 400-450 miles of tunnels, which are systematically being destroyed.
It is now clear that Hamas for years diverted billions of dollars in foreign aid from targeted recipients to its own subterranean city, which will likely not survive the war. Given the sheer barbarity of the mini-Holocaust of October 7, every operative who helped plan the murderous spree will eventually be hunted down and killed, a fact known to the survivors.
Even if Hamas were to return to Gaza and convince the world to give it hundreds of billions of dollars in aid to build the Davos elites’ fantasies of Dubai on the Mediterranean, it would be difficult if not impossible for Hamas to rebuild their underground labyrinths.
Since October 7, the epitaph of Benjamin Netanyahu has been written almost weekly, the more so the Biden administration openly seeks to overthrow the elected government of Israel, and in a fashion more brazen even than the CIA’s covert efforts in Africa and Latin America in the 1950s and 1960s.
Yet here we are nine months later, and Netanyahu remains in power, and is nearly dead even in the polls.
Why? Because the more Biden seeks to subvert his government, the more the ugly American image of a once supportive United States wins empathy for Netanyahu. But more importantly, given how Hamas targeted its peacetime slaughter at southern leftwing kibbutzes and communities near the Gazza border, idealists who had been reaching out to Gazans for years, there is now no formable peace party in Israel.
In contrast, any criticism of Netanyahu is just as likely to come rightward from all political parties—should he not destroy Hamas. The Biden administration’s position of just letting the terrorists go or creating one or two autonomous Palestinian states in the West Bank and Gaza has little support in Israel—or the United States.
In sum, each day global hatred of Israel mounts, and each day it gets closer to destroying the destroyers in Hamas, and on occasion freeing hostages who have not yet been murdered.
