Terrorism is, by definition, psychological warfare, because rather than involve itself with traditional war, sending militants to fight against militants, it sends militants to fight against civilians, women, babies, elderly, and anyone generally at ease and unarmed. The result: Fear and terror spreads among the survivors.
While the civilized world vilifies terrorism as cowardly, terrorism embraces its own cowardice because of the perceived gains; that is, the fear saps the motivation of its enemy to continue the fight. Fear is the weapon.
Terrorism is panned in the civilized world for being unjust: “What did those children ever do to you? Hey, those people were simply enjoying a concert, not harming anybody; they believe in peace!” Meanwhile, terrorism embraces the injustice, since it makes its fighters appear more fearsome. Fear is the weapon.
The civilized party responds, saying, we will not lower ourselves to that level: “Rather than attack the terrorists’ civilians, we will instead send our militants to fight their militants.” And how do the terrorists respond? By accusing the civilized party of committing terrorism. More embracing the injustice.
I’ll leave you with one more: The terrorists boldly create genocidal plans. They write genocide into their founding documents, their “Constitution,” signed by all their founding fathers. When they deliver their attacks, they continue to declare openly that they intend to repeat until the entire people is completely wiped out. Civilization responds by sending militants to fight their militants, with as little damage as possible to the terrorists’ civilians. And how do the terrorists respond? By accusing the civilized party of genocide.
Israel never commits genocide against her enemies. Proof:
Prior to the Gaza war of 2014, there were 1.8 million people living in Gaza. When that war was over, there were still 1.8 million people living in Gaza. No genocide.
Prior to the war of Oct 7, 2023, there were 2.2 million people living in Gaza. Whether the war ends in 2024 or 2025, there will still be at least 2.2 million people left in Gaza. No genocide.
When genocidal terrorists accuse their victims of genocidal terrorism, those accusations are utterly false. Wait, what? I thought genocidal terrorists glorify their ideals of terrorism and genocide. Why would they think it a bad thing if their enemies do the same? See, this is: Injustice added to injustice, fear added to fear, cowardice added to cowardice. The intended result: Despondency.
And here’s the kicker: The civilized world falls for it every time and accepts the lies and false accusations from the genocidal terrorists. The intended result: Israel will become despondent, give up, and die.
We are few, but we are strong. And we can boldly proclaim the truth that Israel does not commit genocide; never has, never will.
Israel does not use terror as a weapon; never has, never will.
Israel does not send militants to attack civilians; never has, never will. On the contrary, Israel sends militants to attack only militants.
