Fighting A Losing Battle Against Terrorism

Posted on by debthumanblog

I went to the farmers market Saturday morning. During the market, terrorists paraded up and down the street. Idiots conned into believing Israel is the enemy chanted globalize the infatada. Let’s look at history. In 2005, Israel pulled out of Gaza. In 2006, the people of Gaza voted to have Hamas run their government. Israel offered Hamas 95% of what Hamas asked for – a result any intelligent negotiator would consider a major win and accept – Hamas refused the offer. On October 7, 2023, Hamas launched an unprovoked attack on Israel. Israel fought back. Per the head of Hamas, the point of the attack was to kill Jews and obliterate Israel.

Students for Justice in Palestine sounds innocent enough. It’s not. It’s a terrorist organization. Their express purpose, according to the people who run the organization, is to kill Jews and obliterate Israel. Yet these people are on college campuses all across the US. Would any college allow an organization whose express purpose is to kill Blacks and obliterate (choose any country in Africa)? Nope.

And so the idiots and terrorists marched down the street. I stood there screaming: Am Yisrael chai! (the people of Israel live) while pumping my fist in the air. I said that the next time I come to the market I’m bring a Super Soaker to fire at these jerks. I was told just don’t do it in front of the market management. As much as I’d love super soaking these people, I think that could be construed as a battery – an illegal act.

Perhaps instead, I’ll just stand I the middle of the street and block the parade. That’s not a crime. I’ll forgo the Super Soaker. Brandishing said Super Soaker can be considered an assault. It will be just me, my walker and my service dog.

Please God, don’t let the narcissistic sociopath win the election.

I’m having election anxiety. I grew up in the 60’s, but I had never seen the kind of hatred and divisiveness that has plagued this country since 2017 when the narcissistic sociopath was inaugurated. Since then, he has said there are good Nazis (there are, but they are all dead), and Hezbollah is smart. Hezbollah is a terrorist organization running Lebanon at the moment. But he claims to be a friend to the Jews. Yeah, the kind of friend Hitler was. Which is fitting because he publicly wished he had the generals Hitler had.

I’ve seen the peaceful transition of power turn into a violent, vicious riot later termed as “hugs” by the sociopath.

I’ve seen the blatant rise of antisemitism since October 7, 2023. Between October 7, 2023 and October 6, 2024, the Anti-Defamation League received more than 10,000 reports of antisemitism. Those are only the incidents that were reported. ADL has uncovered encouraging emails to the bigots encamped on college campuses coming from the ayatollah in Iran. Iran is also financing some of the encampments.

There’s a terrorist cell, calling for students to join them, on the campus of New Mexico State University. Who are these terrorists? Students for Justice in Palestine. Sounds like an okay group, right? It’s not okay. The group has encouraged and participated in antisemitic acts, and attacks on Jews across the campuses in the US.

I bring my service dog with me to my writing class. My writing was to be critiqued on October 7, 2024. I had to leave my dog home because I was afraid for her safety. I was terrified for my safety.

Today, I discovered that SUNY Buffalo, where I went to law school, has a group of bigoted students calling for the expulsion and firing of all students and faculties engaged in zionism. Out of all the antisemitic acts I’ve read about in the past year, this one hurt the most. Hillel and Chabad had a large presence on campus. I remember buying food from the kosher kitchen on campus. They had incredible knishes.

Zionism is merely the belief that Jews need a homeland and Israel has a right to exist. In the early 20th century, Zionists collected money from congregations around the world and bought land in Israel. I’ll type that again, they bought land in Israel. The land they were able to buy was swamp land. The early settlers brought in eucalyptus trees to drain the swamps naturally. They farmed the reclaimed land and built a country. During WWII, England, which ran Palestine and bought oil from Arab countries, severely restricted the number of Jews allowed to immigrate. WWII would have been different if European Jews had a place to go.

Israel has been forced to fight a war on three fronts. Remember, Israel was attacked. Israel was not the aggressor. Israel is fighting for the right to exist. It is not safe to be Jewish in the US now. If the narcissistic sociopath wins, it will be far worse than it is now.
