How a secretive Hamas commander masterminded the attack on Israel

The secretive mastermind behind the assault, Palestinian militant Mohammed Deif, calls it Al Aqsa Flood. The phrase Israel's most wanted man used in an audio tape broadcast as Hamas fired thousands of rockets out of the Gaza strip on Saturday signalled the attack was payback for Israeli raids...

Earlier today, IDF spokesman Lt. Col. Richard Hecht suggested that Palestinian civilians in fear to leave the Gaza Strip for Egypt for the duration of the war. Later, the IDF clarified that this was not an official call telling residents to go to Egypt.

Which brings up the question: wouldn't that be the best possible thing for Palestinians who are in the war zone now?

Arabs throughout history have faced wars, and many have moved from one area to the next. Millions of refugees left Syria and Iraq to go to neighboring countries. Most eventually return.

For the most part, while they aren't happy about it, their Arab neighbors have accepted (if not exactly welcomed) the influxes of refugees.

Egypt too has reluctantly hosted hundreds of thousands of people fleeing Sudan, Syria, Yemen and elsewhere.

But almost no Palestinians!

The same "progressives" that insist that countries have open borders to welcome refugees who flee for little reason other than economic opportunity are surprisingly quiet about suggesting that the obvious place for Palestinians to flee is Egypt. Nations would bankroll the temporary structures and infrastructure needed. It would be just like Jordan's camps that still exist on the Syrian border.

People fleeing wars go to neighboring states. Why can't Gazans?

Of course, Egypt doesn't want them. Egypt's border to Gaza is heavily guarded. It has strict rules on which Gazans are allowed to enter and where they can go once they come.

But nevertheless, according to reports, Egypt is preparing for an influx of Gazans it does not want:

While the government source told Mada Masr that the government has issued a security alert on its borders with Gaza as it does not want its borders to be breached, preparations are being made in case that eventuality comes to pass.

At Sunday’s crisis management meeting, those in attendance discussed a plan that would see tents set up in the two Egyptian cities closest to Gaza — Sheikh Zuwayed and Rafah — and to identify government buildings, such as schools or service headquarters, that can act as temporary shelters, said an official source in the North Sinai Governorate General Office who spoke to Mada Masr on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to speak to the media. Each tent would contain mattresses, blankets, and food supplies, water and meals would be provided and medical service points set up in the vicinity.

The plan, the source continued, is to be implemented if the president’s office gives instructions to do so, said the source. Instructions from the president’s office also stated that if the president tells North Sinai to implement the plan to put up shelters, the Armed Forces are to enclose the tents with cordons and Palestinians should not enter the walled city of Arish.

No one wants to host huge numbers of refugees. But people who claim to care about Palestinians, who are raising the alarm that the Gazans have no place to go to be safe, are curiously silent about this obviously flawed but temporary solution. It is certainly the least of all evils.

So why is the very idea - of Gaza civilians taking shelter in a relatively friendly Arab country - forbidden to be discussed?

Because the people who pretend to care about Palestinian lives really don't. They only want to use Palestinians as pawns, as they've been used since 1948 by the Arab world. Every Palestinian who is in misery is a potential terrorist or a potential subject for a newspaper article about how cruel Israel is. Every dead Palestinian is a victory for those who hate Israel.

Israel would love for the Gaza civilians to get out of the way so it can destroy the terrorist infrastructure and the terrorists. Hamas wants to continue to use them as human shields. Gaza's civilians want to have the choice of where they go.

And ostensible "pro-Palestinian activists" are on Hamas' side.

Why can't Palestinian civilians flee to Egypt? Because the "humanitarians" would rather see them dead and blame Israel.

[ Muslims beheading Jews. A custom started in the 7th century by Mohammad himself. ]


If you ask the Palestinians, their Muslim and socialist friends how they can justify heinous war crimes like kidnap, murdering civilians in cold blood, rape and beheading children, they will give a litany of reasons like Gaza is an open-air prison, they have no freedom, they are living in crowded conditions, they are desperate and hopeless, and they have no choice.

Here is an article by James Baster of the UN, describing Gaza in the 1950s, under Egyptian rule, from the Middle East Journal Vol. 9, No. 3 (Summer, 1955):

[In] 1947 Gaza was a rather prosperous market town functioning as a collecting and forwarding center for the citrus, wheat, barley, and durra crops of the Gaza and Beersheba districts. About one-fifth of the whole Palestinian citrus crop and 150,000 tons of cereals were annually collected here and sent north, partly for export from Jaffa. There were small local industries and occasionally a stray tourist, fresh from the glories of the pyramids of Egypt, braved the discomforts of the railway journey across the desert from Cairo and visited Samson's tomb. The population of what is now known as the Gaza Strip, including the town of Gaza in the center, was then about 70,000. For this population, communications with the outside world were good. Both a tarmac road and the standard-gauge railway line from Egypt to Haifa and Beirut ran through Gaza. There was no port worth the name, but 40 or 50 small sailing vessels might be expected to call at Gaza during the late summer when the winds were safe. There was a small jetty for lighters at the end of the beach road two miles from the town.

Since 1947, the situation has changed indeed. The visit to Samson's tomb would now embarrass the pious, since it was continuously occupied for several years by 14 refugees. The road and railway line to Jaffa and the north is blocked by the armistice boundary south of Majdal, and the road to Beersheba by the armistice boundary skirting the eastern edge of Gaza town. The only remaining land link with the outside world is along the road and railway which run across some 200 miles of desert into Egypt. But since the Gaza Strip is under military occupation by the Egyptian army, the desert is not the only obstacle to movement across this southern frontier into Egypt.

In this small area are concentrated 219,000 refugees in addition to the original population, now increased to a further 90,000. The population density of some 3,000 per square mile is about seven times that of the United Kingdom. Since about half the area consists of uninhabitable sand dunes, the population per square mile of inhabitable land is 6,000, or aboutseven times the population density of Belgium.

The refugees, almost all Muslims, came mainly from the north, large numbers arriving from the Jaffa area in small boats during 1948-49. Six thousand were added when the remaining inhabitants of the Kantara refugee camp in Egypt were transferred into the Gaza Strip in September 1949. Many of the refugees live in enormous camps, of which two contain over 20,000 people each.

The population has been largely isolated since 1949, as it has always been difficult to get entry and exit permits from the Egyptian authorities. ...For all practical purposes it would be true to say that for the last six years in Gaza over 300,000 poverty stricken people have been physically confined to an area the size of a large city park.

.... Under present conditions, with access to the outer world barred by the armistice frontiers when it is not obstructed by the Sinai desert, it is doubtful whether the Strip would support by its own resources even 10,000 people at a tolerable standard of life..

High population density. Occupation by another nation. Severe restrictions on travel and goods. An open-air prison (Egypt shipped all its Palestinian refugees to Gaza in 1949.) No economic prospects. A population time bomb in the making.

In short, every single excuse people use to justify Palestinian violence against Jews existed 70 years ago under Egyptian rule - and more, since the Egyptians didn't allow Gaza to have any sort of self-government outside a puppet regime. And Gaza had no outside NGOs helping them.

So if terrorism is a "natural response" to living in an "open air prison," where was the violence by Palestinians against their jailers?

No, the only Palestinian violence in the 1950s was against, of course, the Jews. In the 1950s, Palestinian "fedayeen" murdered hundreds of Jews who lived near Gaza - without Israeli "occupation" as an excuse.

Sound familiar?

If you know a little history of continuous Palestinian attacks on Jewish civilians - many just as heinous as October 7, if not as huge - for well over century, you can easily see that the excuses given for Palestinian terror are nothing but lies.

For some strange reason, Palestinians didn't behead Egyptian babies between 1949 and 1967

Many of the people who claim to care about the Palestinians are hoping large numbers of them are killed in this war so they will propaganda to use against Israel.

Already, the EU and UN have gotten over their shock about the slaughter of Israelis and have now settled down to criticize whatever Israel does to defend its citizens, and this will get much worse, but the primary responsibility of any government is to protect its citizens, and now that Hamas has proven that the past policy of trying to contain the terrorists in Gaza has failed, the only way the Israeli government can effectively protect the Israeli people from the Gaza terrorists is by reoccupying Gaza and eliminating the terrorists.

Hamas reportedly has 30,000 armed soldiers, and there are undoubtedly at least tens of thousands more actively working to promote Hamas' terrorist agenda, so it will take a while to eliminate all the terrorists, and since the Gaza terrorists commonly use civilians as human shields, there will be significant civilian casualties so the UN and EU and some others will heap torrents of criticism on Israel, and it may seem that Israel will never recover from this.

In 2002, during the second intifada, Sharon faced the same situation. The Palestinian terrorists had proven that without sending the IDF into area A, designated as PA controlled territory, Israel would not be able to end the second intifada. The UN and the Europeans and even the US had warned Sharon against sending the IDF into area A, and after he sent the IDF into area A, it seemed like the whole world was against Israel, but after a few years, Israel's diplomatic relations were repaired and today no rockets are being fired at Israel from Judea or Samaria.

Netanyahu needs to find the courage now to give up the failed policy of containing the terrorists in Gaza and send the IDF in to reoccupy Gaza and eliminate the terrorists to bring peace to Israel no matter how much criticism the UN and EU and such heap on him.

In January, Gilad Erdan, Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, said during an International Holocaust Remembrance Day event that the international body was “founded upon the ashes of the Holocaust. It was established to ensure such darkness would never be felt by humanity again,” but “when it comes to fighting antisemitism, sadly, the U.N. ignores its purpose.”

António Guterres, the United Nations secretary-general, was present at the time, and the U.N. point man on antisemitism, Miguel Moratinos, later told JNS that “Israel and the Jewish people are integrated in the essence, in the soul of the U.N. … I have to tell you, the U.N. is not antisemitic.”

In his remarks on Monday, two days after Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel—which Israeli President Isaac Herzog called the bloodiest day for Jews since the Holocaust—Guterres encapsulated the essence of the United Nations’ response to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The secretary-general spent some 75 seconds condemning Hamas and calling on the terror group to release all of its hostages, even as he recognized “the legitimate grievances of the Palestinian people.”

The rest of his five-minute remarks—after which he took no questions—castigated Israel for retaliatory strikes in its operation to decimate Hamas. The latter has led to hits on U.N. facilities, a residential tower and a mosque—all locations that Hamas has used as militant hiding grounds, operation centers and weapons depots.

Guterres also chided Israel for its announced siege of Gaza, preventing the entry of electricity, food and fuel from Israel.

After brief condolences, UN head chides Jewish state, notes ‘legitimate’ Palestinian grievances - JNS.org

“This most recent violence does not come in a vacuum,” claimed António Guterres, the United Nations secretary-general. “The reality is that it grows out of a long-standing conflict, with a 56-year long occupation and no political end in sight.”

“Free Palestine”—the slogan, the fantasy, and the policy—has always consciously implied the mass murder of Jews in their towns, streets, shops, and living rooms. Few are willing to say so openly, but in many intellectual, professional, and popular circles in the Middle East and the West, the idea of Palestinian national liberation has long been framed in terms that condone or necessitate the indiscriminate killing of Jews. For more unambiguous actors such as Hamas and the Islamic Republic of Iran, freeing Palestine simply means the total eradication of Israel without qualification. This is not a polemical point, but a basic reality and fact of our lives that demands scrutiny.

Consider the ideological milieu in which many Arabs and Muslims have been raised, including me. Growing up as a Muslim in Egypt, the concept of Palestine was never a geopolitical issue; it was a deeply ingrained part of our collective moral identity, the unifying element of both our religious and secular Arab nationalism. It was, and remains, a cause that resonated with us politically, socially, and spiritually, often approaching a fervor that defies rationality. This emotional charge, embedded in the political and religious narratives of much of the Arab Muslim world, has made rubbish of the idea that the Palestinian cause is merely based on anti-Zionism rather than antisemitism.

This milieu, however, is not in any way essential to what it means to be Arab or Muslim—it is a thoroughly modern phenomenon shaped largely by the influenceof European revolutionary ideologies on Arab intellectuals and political activists. Among these imported systems of thought is a strain of revolutionary antisemitism that casts Jews as the eternal enemy not just of Arabs but of all human beings. Not every Arab or Muslim subscribes to these views, of course, but when fused with preexisting religious and cultural biases, they have infected almost every institution, pattern of thought, and aspect of life in the Arab Muslim world. Modern Arab political and religious literature is filled with the claim that Jews are hostis humani generis, the enemies of mankind—a classical European libel, and a French revolutionary cry.

The problems of this poisonous strain of thought are compounded by the concept that “freeing Palestine” is a species of resistance against foreign settler colonialists, a Fanonian revolution in which violence against civilians is defended as a legitimate means of achieving racial justice. The wholesale labeling of Israeli Jews—the vast majority of whom are refugees or descendants of refugees from Arab Muslim dictatorships and Soviet totalitarianism—as colonizers, settlers, and imperialists is in fact a type of collective ethnic punishment, nonsensical even on its own twisted terms, which recalls the medieval Christian denunciation of Jews as moral abominations, as a group and as individuals. You might have noticed in the last few days that those committed to liberating Palestine can’t seem to avoid the abject dehumanization of the Jews as a people—and that their aim is not for Palestinians to simply live in peace, dignity, and freedom alongside Israelis, but a state that is necessarily established upon the ruins of Israel. Hamas is explicit in its intention to murder the Jewish population of Israel and enslave any survivors; its partisans in the Middle East and the West are coyer on this point.

Islamists articulate the fantasy of Jewish eradication in the language of jihad, framed in eschatological terms, and imbued with a sense of divine justice and cosmic warfare—what Westerners would ordinarily recognize as a type of religious fascism. But while the Islamist version of this idea is potent for the purposes of mobilizing the impoverished and uneducated masses, the “left-wing” or secular version—couched in the language of Fanon and Karl Marx, of human emancipation, equality, anti-capitalism, and social justice—is the more effective means of mobilizing opinion among the Western intelligentsia. The point is that they are two sides of the same coin, the value of which is set in Jewish blood.

For those who are shaped by such a worldview—whether the “right-wing” or the “left-wing” version, the religious or the atheistic—celebrating the murder of innocent Israeli civilians, including children, women, and the elderly, is an expression of the partial fulfillment of a moral vision. As a teenager in Egypt, I recall nearly all the adults around me expressing such feelings when following the news of suicide bombings targeting Israeli civilians during the Second Intifada. Egypt’s most prominent religious authorities declared the perpetrators to be martyrs and saints. In a way, it was not unlike the valorization and even canonization of those who destroyed livelihoods, burned property, and targeted police officers during the protests in America in the summer of 2020. I do not mean to inject American domestic politics where they do not belong, or to suggest a perfect moral equivalence, but there is a reason that leaders of Hamas and the Islamic Republic of Iran themselves insist that they are engaged in the same struggle against racism.

Almost every Arab Muslim knows that what I’m describing is not a personal opinion but objective reality. We may try to belittle these facts, or dismiss them as the delusional daydreams of uneducated know-nothings under the influence of religious and populist fanatics. But we should not deny that they are true.

My fear is that the impulse to dismiss and belittle is the byproduct not of sincere belief but of a deep sense of helplessness. After many recent conversations with the rising generation of young, intelligent, Westernized, and highly educated Arab professionals and diplomats, I have witnessed a strong urge not to confront this reality. Even among those who genuinely accept the legitimacy of Israel in a way their parents would have never been capable of, I almost always hear them describe the deaths of innocent Israelis as somehow being their own fault, or at least the fault of the Israeli government for not unilaterally making peace and ending the conflict. There is nothing more depressing than the surrender of the young to a problem they see as too big to solve.
