There are no shouts on the street, and no leaders can be heard saying that they are trying to stop the missiles from raining in one direction or another. If the terrorist organization Hamas claims to represent the Palestinian people, which Western democracies clearly reject because it is a criminal group, it may well unilaterally surrender, lay down its arms, release its kidnapped hostages, and issue an international appeal for a ceasefire. , to the fire. The approach is absolutely naive because they obviously don’t care at all about the suffering of the Palestinian people.

Nor are they committed, as stated in their founding document, to creating peace near the border. Their goal is simply the destruction of Israel., so some political circles and the media are shamelessly joining the protest. The peace he demands is nothing less than international condemnation of Israel as a repressive state and an outright rejection of any type of coexistence.

This entire human catastrophe was initiated by Hamas, which demonstrated its brutality in the video of the 7-O attacks.

However, what is very noticeable is the complete silence on the street when it comes to reporting to them. This entire human catastrophe was initiated by Hamas, which demonstrated its brutality by disseminating its own videos and images of the October 7 attacks. World public opinion and world leaders are still reeling from the cruelty and cruelty of torture, manifested in rapes, beheadings, desecration of bodies, abductions and executions of women, children, old people and youth.

It is also a great paradox that the vast majority of these victims, such as the young people killed during the festival or the kibbutzim, were defenders of peace, dedicated activists, active or passive, in the name of two states and cooperation. ..on both sides of the border. In other words, the attacks were intended to cut off any element of peaceful demand, which is why the Israeli social and political left is shocked by the statements and reactions of elements of the Western left known for their hatred of their country. Today we also know that the prize from the ruling Palestinian Authority in the Gaza Strip for the militants was 10 thousand dollars and one floor for hunting each of them.

The battle for peace inexorably presupposes the defeat of terrorist groups., which is very clear to the European Union, NATO and the rest of the foreign ministries, including many Arab countries, who want nothing to do with Hamas or many other groups, which, in fact, are also a serious problem for them. It is outrageous that Israel is also blamed for the terrorist activities of Hamas and Islamic Jihad. The banners’ complicity in the lack of accountability and demands for accountability on the part of terrorist groups blinds us to the true humanitarian causes they claim to champion.

You cannot truly strive for peace unless you condemn the executioners who camouflage their arsenals and military installations beneath the civilian population. No one, absolutely no one, takes the trouble to suggest how to carry out a military operation to destroy terror when it is deliberately and unscrupulously hiding among the inhabitants.

The lack of thorough analysis, as well as truthful and contradictory information, gives rise to social polarization, which does not contribute to achieving peace in the region. What we are seeing is clearly a war of stories, the purpose of which is not to inform, but to create opinion.

The proof is that there is no conflict in the world that has attracted greater curiosity, turning this confrontation into the reason for the existence of all world peace, although it is much more threatened on other fronts, with other actors and with many more innocent victims. which no one seems to care about, judging by the overwhelming silence.

There is no doubt that the destruction of schools, hospitals, shelters and civilian casualties on both sides produces horror: we see this in all the world’s conflicts, and the United Nations strongly reminds us in this regard that The harsh reality is that the world, the entire world, is not living up to its obligations under international humanitarian law..

But the deliberate failure to clearly identify the culprits and present the methods of working to eradicate terrorism in the labyrinth of tunnels that link life and death, the clear goal of its authors, leads many to claim that they are complicit in terror. world.
