Gaza Ceasefire Won’t Stop the War
HAMAS Would Invade Israel Again, and Much More People would Die
I had already explained why I do believe HAMAS claims of ‘eight thousand dead Palestinians’ to be fake. However, this being said, I allow that there STILL might be Gaza civilian casualties after Israeli ground assault, because well, war is war, and HAMAS dirty strategy of using Palestinian civilians as human shields certainly doesn’t help the situation. Does it mean that Israel should stop its ground assault asap, and ceasefire is the only solution now? I argue that it’s not. Before castigating me as ‘Gaza genocide enabler’, hear me out.
Before calling to an urgent ceasefire, ask yourselves WHAT HAPPENS NEXT, after ceasefire, and at least TRY to answer it honestly. The problem is that most people calling for ceasefire do it in the grasp of emotion of the moment and do NOT think of any possible consequences of this decision. All their concern is just to stop civilians’ deaths AT PRESENT MOMENT! Again, this concern is pretty understandable, and nothing wrong with it per se.
The problem is that we should NOT think ONLY of a present moment, but at least TRY foresee possible consequences of our current decisions. Thus, decision which helps us in the present, might actually harm us in the future.
So what are the possible consequences of Gaza ceasefire? If Israel would retreat without destroying HAMAS terrorists, Jihadists would take it as weakness, and would be emboldened to take their revenge on Israel and to continue their Jihad. Moreover, now, after Israeli ground assault, HAMAS terrorists would be much more angry and vicious, and, hence, much more dangerous.
But this is only SMALL PART of a PROBLEM. The bigger problem is that after Israeli retreat HAMAS would try to produce AS MANY FAKES of ‘Israeli atrocities in Gaza’ as possible, and IDF won’t be there any longer to debunk those fakes.
Thus, HAMAS would might increase count of dead Palestinians from current eight thousands up to even one hundred thousands (!!), producing fake images of tortured and murdered women and children in the process as well. Islamic countries ALL OF WHICH back HAMAS up either directly like Syria and Iran or indirectly as Turkey and Saudi Arabia, would instantly spread those fakes globally, to UN and further. Gullible Western Wokesters and Russian Vatniks would be glad to accept all those HAMAS fakes uncritically, thus demonizing Israel out of proportion. No one would care of truth any longer - dark emotion would replace sanity of humankind completely.
Now, WHAT would this unprecedented demonization of Israel lead to? Pretty obvious - to new Jihad and Holocaust. Islamic countries would not forgive the ‘murder of one hundred thousand Palestinians’ and would declare a new Jihad against Israel. This time this Jihad might be joined not just by such fringe terrorists entities like HAMAS and Hezbollah, or sanctioned international exiles like Syria or Iran but also by prestigious Gulf countries and even Turkey and Egypt. And THAT would certainly mean the end of new Israel and a new Holocaust of all Jews as a consequence. Do you realize all the horror of that?
EVEN if it won’t come to that horror, HAMAS new invasion into Israel supported by MORE Islamic countries and massive anti-Israeli propaganda is inevitable. And that in turn would mean death of MUCH MORE civilians - BOTH Israeli and Palestinian ones.
So knowing these consequences, which choice would you make now? Would you allow SOME Gaza civilians to die now (and IDF would do their best to minimize their count due to their professionalism despite all HAMAS efforts to maximize their count) but so evil HAMAS terrorists would be FINALLY destroyed, and PEACE would finally come to Gaza so NO ONE would die there in the future? And I’m sure of it because Islamic countries would not dare OFFICIALLY attack Israel without Islamist unofficial terrorist entity like HAMAS on the very Israeli border doing all their dirty job for them. Also, since HAMAS would be gone, there would be NO ONE left to spread countless fakes of Israeli ‘atrocities’ to stir anti-Israeli and Anti-Semitic propaganda worldwide.
Or would you give in to false compassion to stop the blood now but eventually cause MUCH MORE BLOOD be spilled in the future? What would you choose?
Ofc, a perfect option would be that NO CIVILIAN would die and NO WAR would happen. But we do NOT live in a perfect world. We do NOT have this option.
The ONLY options we have now is to allow some casualties now but to destroy the source of all evil - HAMAS - and to achieve long waited piece in the future, or to let the bloodshed continue for years to come.
Again, sometimes we have to make pretty hard choices. There is NO good option atm - ONLY bad and VERY bad ones. And in that deal, choosing bad option would ironically be good because it would be a LESSER EVIL compared to choosing a VERY bad option.
Think of it as of cancer surgery. To cut the tumor out is very painful and stressful. But, if we’d give in to the fear of pain and let tumor grow inside our bodies, it would eventually kill us. But if we’d brace ourselves for the pain and cut the tumor out, we’d get the chance to survive and regain our good health. So what should we choose?
Same here. HAMAS is a cancer on the body of Palestine, and it needs to be cut out in order for all this region to survive. Otherwise, HAMAS cancer would eat all Israel and Palestine away.
