Israel has finally had enough of Hamas terrorists hiding in Gaza City and is ready to finish the job. On August 20th, Israeli forces launched Operation Gideon’s Chariots, the first phase of what promises to be the decisive blow against these murderous thugs. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved the full-scale assault plan on August 21st, sending a clear message that Israel will no longer tolerate terrorist strongholds on its doorstep.
The main offensive is set to begin in mid-September, giving Hamas one last chance to surrender before facing total defeat. Netanyahu is even willing to negotiate with these terrorists to end the war, but only on Israel’s terms. This shows the kind of restraint and mercy that only democratic nations like Israel display, even when dealing with savage enemies who celebrate the murder of innocent civilians.
Hamas has predictably responded like the cowards they are, using Israeli hostages as human shields in combat zones throughout Gaza City. These terrorists have no regard for human life, whether Israeli or Palestinian, and will sacrifice anyone to protect their own evil leadership. This despicable tactic proves once again why Hamas must be completely destroyed, not negotiated with or appeased.
Defense Minister Israel Katz has made it crystal clear that if Hamas refuses to surrender, the entire city will be leveled. This is exactly the kind of strong leadership the world needs to see when dealing with terrorist organizations. No more half measures, no more endless ceasefires that only give terrorists time to regroup and rearm.
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza City is entirely Hamas’s fault, not Israel’s. These terrorists have stolen aid money for decades to build tunnels and rockets instead of hospitals and schools. They use their own people as shields while their leaders live in luxury in Qatar and Turkey, safely away from the consequences of their evil actions.
Every American patriot should stand firmly behind Israel as they clean out this terrorist nest once and for all. Israel is fighting the same radical Islamic terrorists who want to destroy America and everything we hold dear. When Israel wins, America wins, and freedom wins against the forces of Islamic extremism.
The liberal media will cry about civilian casualties, but they never mention the Israeli families torn apart by Hamas rockets and suicide bombers. They ignore the fact that Hamas deliberately puts weapon depots in schools and hospitals to maximize civilian deaths for propaganda purposes. Real Americans see through these lies and stand with our strongest ally in the Middle East.
This September offensive will mark the beginning of the end for Hamas’s reign of terror in Gaza. Israel has the right, the power, and the moral authority to defend its people by any means necessary. The only tragedy would be if the international community pressures Israel to stop before the job is complete.
