Iran should remain the focus of Hamas’ October 7 massacre. All roads lead back to Iran, the chief state sponsor of terrorism in the world today. Although there are many differences in the hostage-taking of over 230 men, women, and children by Hamas and the Iranian Hostage Crisis of 1979, Iran made abduction and kidnapping a centerpiece of their operations.
The world has witnessed one of the most barbaric, monstrous, and depraved pogroms of all time on Israel’s Sabbath and Shemini Atzeres/Simchas Torah holiday, carried out by Hamas and Islamic Jihad. The death toll continues to rise. It is estimated to be 700 at this time, with over 100 taken captive. Fifteen hundred were injured, and many are critical. Babies were killed in front of their parents and parents were killed in front of their children. There was no end to the atrocities committed by these terrorists.
On September 15, Israel and America celebrated the third anniversary of the Abraham Accords. I personally was working with both American and Israeli officials on celebrating in Israel the unprecedented agreements between Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Morocco. The actual event was supposed to take place this week.
The second GOP Debate will take place this Wednesday, September 27, at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum in Southern California. Although President Trump remains the number one choice of GOP voters, the debate does spotlight and highlight powerful figures in the Republican Party. It is an opportunity to witness politics in motion. It also has brought fresh new faces to the fore.
After the horrific slaughter of innocent civilians by Hamas on our Holy Sabbath and holiday, it is not enough to crush them. It is time to discuss re-establishing the 22 Jewish communities that were expelled in 2005. Had these towns not been “disengaged,” the situation would be vastly different. They were the frontlines protecting the South. They were strategically set up to act as a buffer zone to prevent the barbaric and depraved assault we all have witnessed. They were better fortified and better equipped than the towns struck on Simchat Torah. With the expulsion of 10,000 Jews from Gush Katif in 2005, Hamas got that much closer to large population centers. There was relative calm in the South of Israel for the 30-plus years the 22 Jewish communities existed there.
With the expanding fireball of anti-Semitism glowing brighter each passing day, Israel’s purported peace partner, Mahmoud Abbas aka Abu Mazen, just added kerosene to the wayward flames. Abbas, who was Arafat’s second-in-command and the “brains” behind the PLO’s wave of terror from the 1960s and on, just came up with the most outrageous and most anti-Semitic statement ever made during this latest round of Jew-bashing and hatred. He said that six million Jews were murdered by the Nazis for their “social role,” not because they were Jewish. He said this at a Fatah Revolutionary Council meeting, but it was aired on Arab TV.
