I awakened this morning to hear on the radio that our Secretary of State, Mr. Blinken, is defending his State Department’s “finding” that Israel is likely to have committed war crimes in its retaliation and defense actions following the atrocities of October 7, 2024 by Hamas against Israeli civilians INSIDE Israel.
Israel is doing self-defense acts that have been standard in war since the 1930s. Only Israel gets smeared for this.
These atrocities included the mass rape, throat slitting, burial of women and girls alive, the murder of female Israelis by applying flames from blow torches to the vaginas of the women and girls, the murder of elderly and infirm Israelis taken captive by Hamas.
Israel, to defend itself, is seeking to demolish Hamas as a functioning killing machine a few feet from Israel’s borders. It’s an incredibly difficult job. Hamas has had the use of billions of dollars from Iran, given to Iran largely by Joe Biden and his gang. That money had been withheld by the U.S. under President Trump.

But Joe Biden has given back that money in a pitiful, nauseating effort to win the love and sympathy of the world’s leading state sponsor of terror, Iran. That’s the same Iran that begins every day’s session of government by praying en masse to their god to send “death to Israel” and “death to America.”
Defeating Hamas and scattering them has turned out to be a true struggle because of the massive tunnels, built with reinforced concrete. The Iranians are clients of Russia and North Korea. Those states are experts in tunnel building. They learned it long ago when Stalin’s Russia built them to repel Hitler’s Nazi Germany.
Let’s fast forward to right now: Israel is trying to disassemble Hamas. But Hamas is scattered throughout Gaza. Hamas has long made a practice of putting its killers and rapists and their weapons of terror and death in “schools,” “mosques,” “hospitals,” and kindergartens. Naturally, when Israel tries to hit the terrorists and their weapons, it has to hit the hiding places of weapons of terror where they are.
This is war. This is the way war has always been: civilians have gotten killed and wounded. Especially when war started to be waged largely from the air, it was a fact of life that civilians died in large numbers. The sad truth is that it’s hard for aircraft to hit targets with any precision from high altitudes. The Germans learned this during the Blitz. The British and the Americans learned it in spades when they were bombing Germany.
The Nazis were super effective in knocking down allied bombers at low and medium altitudes. So were the Japanese. Plus, the wind currents over Tokyo and other Japanese cities were extremely difficult for bombardiers.
“Bomber” Harris, the British official responsible for defending Britain, had a simple idea: “If we can’t knock off Mr. Schickelgruber at his factory bench, we can kill Mrs. Schickelgruber at her house.” The Brits thus came to “area bombing.” It worked.
The allies used it as much as they could and they never apologized for it. Even in February 1945, with the Germans on their knees, America and Britain bombed civilian targets in the Reich as much as possible.
The British and the U.S. used mass incendiary “area” bombing against civilian targets, especially Dresden, 24 hours a day, for three days straight. Dresden had almost no military targets, but over 100,000 Germans were killed or wounded in Dresden in that one raid. (READ MORE: This Is Happening in America)
Obviously, America used the atom bomb against Hiroshima and Nagasaki, cities with almost zero military importance by the end of summer 1945 when the Japanese were already frantically seeking to surrender.
Almost 200,000 Japanese died.
The Japanese at no time bombed American cities or towns. The Germans bombed the UK heavily but never bombed New York or Washington, D.C.
No one in the U.S. government criticized FDR or Truman for “war crimes.” The UN never criticized Churchill or Attlee.
Only Israel, the victim of the worst atrocities ever recorded in human history, going on until RIGHT NOW, gets criticized for defending itself. Only the Democrat party goes on record calling the Jewish state war criminals for the most basic acts of self-defense. Hamas has kept the Holocaust going on until RIGHT NOW. The Biden regime calls that a war crime.
Israel is doing self-defense acts that have been standard in war since the 1930s. Only Israel gets smeared for this. ONLY ISRAEL.
God help us. And why are we doing it? To kiss the ass of people who pray for us to die painfully. What the hell is wrong with us?
