Our enemies pursue us with everything in their arsenals, from missiles to terror
tunnels, suicide bombings to RPGs, shootings to stabbings, stonings to
burnings, rapes to mutilations, and hijackings to hostage-taking.
They hide behind human shields in hospitals, schools, mosques, and homes and
then falsely accuse us of genocide.
Hamas, KKK, the Nazis, they are all the same.
They seek our destruction by “any means necessary.”
What they cannot achieve by military might, political intimidation, economic
warfare, and United Nations resolutions, they attempt to achieve through
infiltration into our cities and brainwashing of our students.
They will not stop; they will not rest.
In their racist hatred, they declare: “We don’t want no Zionists here!”
As they continue to lose their terrorist leadership, weapons, infrastructure, and
staging grounds, they resort to cries of baby killers and starvation.
Unfortunately, “useful idiots” abound for the cause of the day to free, free
Palestine.
Palestine, just another name for the land of Israel, never had a “Palestinian”
people, government, flag, or currency.
There are 57 Muslim countries and 22 Arab lands, yet the existence of just one
Jewish state is considered too much of a religious affront for them to tolerate.
So turn the tables and call the Jews the colonizers.
Two million Muslims are citizens of Israel, while the Arab countries have
expelled virtually every Jew from their lands but call Israel an apartheid state.
While it is blatantly obvious, so many people—perhaps many well-meaning—
just don’t seem to understand the terrorist’s strategy and use of propaganda,
lies, and disinformation to play the victim and get sympathy.
Even after decades of the Arabs rejecting peace and partition, opting instead for
radical Islam and the relentless pursuit of intifada and jihad (culminating in
such barbaric attacks as 9/11 and 10/7), the terrorist wolves effectively make
themselves into the innocent sheep being ruthlessly slaughtered. And who
doesn’t want to protect the poor little sheep?
Opponents to the Western-dominant world order—Russia, China, Iran, and
Qatar— surreptitiously direct, facilitate, and sponsor the global chaos and are
laughing their heads off at our naiveté and what they see as our ultimate self-
destruction.
Israel and the USA stand at the gates of civilization and continue to defend
democracy, human rights, and our existence, but the ground is shaking
underneath from the state-sponsored terrorists working to undermine us.
Despite the harsh realities of the enemies we face, we must dedicate ourselves
to good prevailing over evil, light transcending darkness, and ultimately our
affirming life and freedom because the alternative is unthinkable dictatorship,
terror, and death.
Please say to yourself now, “I affirm life!”
