It's over

In just over two years since the terrorist organization Hamas enacted the largest slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust, the Israeli-Hamas conflict has drawn to a conclusion.

As of Monday morning, the remaining living hostages in Hamas captivity were released, yet this was an encapsulation of the "FREE PALESTINE" bobbleheads: 

Y'see, for that collective it was never so much their wish for Palestine to be "freed" as it was their desire to see Israel cease to exist. The collective silence on the leftist social media cesspool that is BlueSky in addition to continued anti-Israel protests occurring in the U.K. underscore that fact. 

While President Trump's foreign policy has been uneven at times, it's hard to deny that his dealings with the Middle East over both of this terms have yielded the most substantial successes of which no other U.S. presidency can measure up. Moving the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and brokering the Abraham Accords were hallmarks of his first term. But his stopping this two-year conflict is, in the words of frequent MAGA critic Jim Geraghty, easily the greatest day in Trump's second term. 

But hey, don't take our word for it. Check out this grand speech merely hours after the hostages were released. 

Addressing US President Donald Trump at the Knesset, Opposition Leader Yair Lapid lauds the American leader for saving “millions from the horrors of war,” stating that he has “done the unimaginable.”

“Mr. President, you have saved the lives of our hostages. But you saved so much more. You have saved the souls of the bereaved whose loved ones now will be brought home for burial, you have saved thousands of soldiers who will not fall in battle, and you have saved millions from the horrors of war. You have saved far more than one life, and each life is an entire world,” Lapid declares in the Knesset plenum ahead of Trump’s address to the body.

“When you were elected, you declared that you would be ‘the President of Peace.’ You have kept your word. The fact that you were not awarded the Nobel Peace Prize is a grave mistake by the committee – but they will have no choice, Mr. President. They will have to award it to you next year,” Lapid says.

Just in case y'all need a reminder about how American dodged a huuuuuuge bullet by not electing Kamala Harris as President of the United States, here's her comments just ahead of the announcement of the war ending. 

DISGUSTING: Kamala Harris ATTACKS Israel, accusing them of committing a genocide.

Eugene Daniels: "A lot of folks in your party have called what's happening in Gaza a genocide. Do you agree with that?"

Noah Rothman at National Review took exception to that characterization. 

 

Those are the shibboleths we were bombarded with almost from the outset of Israel’s defensive war against the terrorist groups with which Iran surrounded the Jewish state. But any honest broker must concede that, if Israel is a genocidaire, it’s an incompetent one.

As President Donald Trump observed on Friday, the Israel Defense Forces count 58,000 Hamas fighters and operatives among the dead in its defensive war. Even if we take the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry’s numbers at face value, which we shouldn’t, that would indicate that the vast majority of the 67,000 deaths over the last two years were legitimate targets. That is the kind of ratio that represents, according to military historian John Spencer, a “remarkable, historic new standard” in taking “precautions to prevent civilian harm.” Indeed, even if the enemy was not dug into a densely populated urban space and tactically devoted to using civilians as shields, such a ratio would be difficult to achieve.

One other aspect which we seem to be overlooking? Harris et al often referred to Trump as a fascist and the greatest threat to American democracy. So if the former Veep still clings to that belief, she must also concede this is a historic moment in world history in that such an evil leader was so willing to stop a genocide. I mean, what a lousy fascist. 

But seriously, I will never get used to the fact that what's undeniably good for the U.S. and the world can somehow be looked down upon for the sole reason that an individual whom you despise was instrumental in making it possible.
