There comes a time when one must stand up and be counted; I too, stand with Israel. I've never been prouder to be half jewish. There are only ca. 1.500 jews in Norway. The jewish kindergarten and synagogue here in Oslo have continuous armed police protection - it has already been attacked by islamist fundamentalists. Our government has acknowledged 'palestine' as a sovereign state and cannot contribute with enough funding to the various NGOs and 'agencies'. Hamas is a hateful death-cult and living under a government that so obviously sympathizes and supports these terrorists is sickening and shameful!
It seems Israel is using this time of war to clean the Augean stables. Here's Jonathan Sacerdoti in todays Spectator prompted by last night's strikes on Iran:
"What began in October 2023 with Palestinian terrorists bursting across Israel’s border in Toyota pickup trucks, armed with RPGs, gasoline, and guns, has transformed into a systematic campaign: the near-elimination of several of Iran’s proxy forces that have threatened Israel for decades; the downfall of the Assad regime in Syria; the crumbling of Hamas in Gaza; the destruction of key military assets including the airport in Houthi-controlled parts of Yemen; the degradation of Hezbollah’s operational capabilities; the elimination of many terrorist leaders across the region – and now, this."
I hope the Persian people seize the opportunity to topple the evil theocracy!
I couldn't agree more. The Iranian regime has, for years, been open about its hope of annihilating Israel and, had it been able to continue its uranium enrichment, there seems no doubt that it would have tried to achieve that outcome. Now, that would be genocide.
I congratulate you on this post. Of course, it supports your argument, but this is such an important subject that I need time to do my own research before agreeing or disagreeing with your comprehensive post. If you are correct, as I have known you since school and have a natural bias, then this detailed essay deserves a wider audience. I will be back!
Thank you, John. Yes, this topic is of course extremely emotional and tends to push us to one extreme end of the bell curve or the other. I'd be very interested to hear any thoughts, pro or con, that you might arrive at.
