The Israeli government is almost certain to get immense pressure to agree to such a truce, but this is actually the next thing that Israel should do at this point. Even before the magnitude of what Hamas perpetrated in Israel was thoroughly known, calls for a ceasefire became a talking point. Leftist opinion makers from the ridiculous ( Antony Blinken ) to the absurd( Alexandria Ocasio – Cortez ) began calling for a ceasefire so quickly that the Babylon Bee zinged them with a riotous headline:” Emperor Hirohito Calls For Ceasefire After Bombing Of Pearl Harbor”. Just hours after the Hamas jihad massacres began, the U. S. Office of Palestinian Affairs tweeted an astonishingly tone – deaf statement:” We unequivocally condemn the attack of Hamas terrorists and the loss of life that has incurred. We urge all sides to refrain from violence and punitive attacks. Terror and violence solve nothing”. The Office deleted this tweet after people started to point out how terrible it was to urge that Israel not retaliate after being hit with the most disastrous attack in its history. Despite this embarrassment, Secretary of State Antony Blinken tweeted Sunday that he had met with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, he added,” I encouraged Türkiye’s advocacy for a cease – fire”. ( Türkiye is the new official name of the country formerly known as Turkey, its proud government got tired of all the Thanksgiving bird jokes. ) Blinken afterwards took that one down as well, but another leftists continued to call for a ceasefire at a time when that could only have meant that Hamas would hit Israel and Israel would do nothing in response. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio – Cortez( D – Socialist Ditzville ) released a statement on Saturday afternoon, as Israeli authorities were still tracking down all the Hamas jihadis who had managed to get inside the country and start killing indiscriminately. AOC said,” An immediate ceasefire and de – escalation is urgently needed to save lives”. Eventually, after Israel bombed numerous Hamas sites in Gaza, Hamas top dogs began to think that a ceasefire sounded like a terrific idea. Reuters reported on Monday afternoon that” a mature Hamas official said the group is open to discussions over a possible truce with Israel, having’ achieved its targets.'” Asked if Hamas wanted a ceasefire, a top leader of the jihad group, Moussa Abu Marzouk( who has a doctorate in business engineering from Louisiana Tech ), said that Hamas” was empty to’ something of that sort’ and’ all political dialogues. ‘” The establishment media and the communist political elites will receive this with hosannas and take it as the dawning of a new era of peace— if only those devilish warmongering Israelis will take Hamas ‘ olive branch. It is, however, not really what it is at all. For Hamas to be asking for a truce on Monday evening Gaza time, it must have had an exceedingly bad Sunday and Monday. For Islamic law only allows for a truce if Muslims are fragile and need to gather strength to fight after more efficiently, or if they’re fighting non – Muslims whom they think may accept Islam. ” If Muslims are weak, a truce may be made for ten years if necessary, for the Prophet ( Allah bless him and give him peace ) made a truce with the Quraysh for that long, as is related by Abu Dawud… Interests that justify making a truce are such things as Muslim weakness because of lack of numbers or materiel, or the hope of an enemy becoming Muslim…”(‘ Umdat al – Salik, o9.16 ). The Qur’an itself states,” So do not falter and cry out for peace when you have the upper hand ,” ( 47:35 ), which serves as the foundation for this notion. A jihad group asking for a truce is admitting that it is losing and needs time to recover because American authorities always, always show even the slightest understanding of this point. At that point, the final thing its non-Muslim enemy should do is really give it a truce. Rather, it ought to keep moving toward the ultimate victory. Israel advances against the jihadis, they demand a truce, and the British government pressures the Israelis into agreeing. This has happened several times in the past. In the face of like pressure from the Biden regime, the Netanyahu administration must maintain its resolve. It should recognize Hamas’ desire for a cease-fire as an admission of weakness and put an end to this terrible organization’s ability to terrorize defenseless civilians.
Robert Spencer’s contributions to Jamie Glazov’s new book, Barack Obama’s Tru Legacy: How he Transformed America, are worth reading. After brutally killing over 600 Israelis, and then being subjected to retaliatory attacks by Israel, the bloodthirsty Hamas jihadis now want a ceasefire. Even before the full extent of Hamas’ crimes in Israel were known, calls for a cessation of hostilities became a hot topic. The Babylon Bee slapped them with an outrageous headline: “Emperor Hirohito calls for ceasefire after bombing of Pearl Harbor.” Leftist opinion-makers from the ridiculous to the absurd, including Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, began calling for a truce so quickly. We urge both sides to refrain violence and retaliatory acts. Terrorism and violence do not solve anything.” The Office deleted the tweet after people pointed out how monstrous this was to ask Israel to refrain from retaliation after it had been hit with the most devastating attacks in its history. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, however, tweeted Sunday that he met with Turkish Minister Hakan Fidan. He added, “I encouraged Turkiye’s advocacy for cease-fire.” Blinken removed that tweet as well. However, other leftists kept calling for a ceasefire when it was clear that Israel would not respond to Hamas’s attack on Israel. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-Socialist Ditzville, released a statement Saturday afternoon as Israeli authorities continued to track down Hamas jihadis that had managed to enter the country and started killing indiscriminately. AOC said that an immediate ceasefire was urgently needed in order to save lives. Reuters reported that a senior Hamas leader said that the group was open to discussions about a possible ceasefire with Israel after ‘achieving its targets’. When asked if Hamas desired a truce, a senior member of the jihadist group, Moussa Abmarzouk, who has a PhD in industrial engineering from Louisiana Tech, said that Hamas was “open to’something of this sort’ and all political dialogues.” It’s not what it seems. Hamas must have had a very bad Sunday and Monday to ask for a ceasefire on Monday evening, Gaza time. Islamic law allows for a ceasefire only if Muslims need to regain strength to fight more effectively later or if they are fighting non-Muslims who they believe may accept Islam. “If Muslims are weak a ten-year truce can be made, because the Prophet (Allah, bless him and grant him peace) made one with the Quraysh during that time, as Abu Dawud related…Interests which justify a ceasefire are things like Muslim weakness due to lack of numbers or material, or the hope that an enemy will become Muslim …”. (‘Umdat al Salik, o9.16). This idea is based on the Qur’an: “So don’t falter and cry for peace when you are in the lead …”” (47:35). Western authorities never understand this concept. It is the last thing a non-Muslim enemy should do to grant a truce at that point. It should instead press on to the final victory. This has happened many times before: Israel makes progress against the jihadis and they ask for an end. The American government then pressures Israel into accepting. The Netanyahu government must resist all pressure from the Biden administration. It should see Hamas’ interest for a truce in a weakening of the organization and eliminate its power to terrorize innocents.
