Not long ago, I objected to the statement that “Trump is worse than Hitler”. I was convinced that nothing and no one could be worse than a man who was the architect of the extermination of the Jewish people, to whom several million Jews fell victim.
Today I am convinced that I was wrong. Someone can be even worse than Hitler. They are Palestinian terrorists.
You can argue that the number of their victims is not nearly as high. And you’re right. So why are they worse than Hitler?
When the end of the war was approaching and when it was already clear that the Red Army would soon occupy the area where the Auschwitz and Treblinka extermination camps were located, the Nazis tried to erase the traces of the mass murder they had committed. However, they did not succeed. They started too late and were no longer enough.
The architects of the October 7 massacre did not try to cover their tracks. On the contrary, they filmed the cruelest atrocities and boasted about them. And they promised that just as they had done away with the Jews murdered in the kibbutz Be-eri, they would eventually do away with all the Jews. No doubt he is absolutely serious.
The monstrosity of their actions is only underlined by the fact that the kibbutz was inhabited by Israelis who tried to help the Palestinians. They employed them and, if necessary, drove sick children from Gaza to Israeli hospitals.
The massacre at Kibbutz Beeri has caused the Israeli left, which seeks peace with the Palestinians, to essentially cease to exist.
Evil is sometimes uncompromising. I was strongly impressed by the story of Yahya Sinwar, who became the leader of Hamas after the death of Ismail Haniyeh. Yahya Sinwar was convicted of quadruple murder. While he was in an Israeli prison, one of the Israeli doctors saved his life when he noticed unusual movements. These were caused by a brain tumor. He was removed in an Israeli hospital. Yahya Sinwar, along with 1,000 other Palestinian prisoners, was exchanged for Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. After his release, he immediately resumed plans for Israel’s destruction and was one of the architects of the October 7 attack. The doctor who saved his life was also killed in this attack.
How is such a thing even possible?
The situation is unlikely to improve as long as Palestinian children are instilled with hatred of Israelis from kindergarten onwards. But if the Palestinians succeed in achieving their goal of destroying the Israeli state, the hatred that has filled them for decades will not be satisfied – it will not disappear on its own.
Meanwhile, the terrorists from Gaza are rejoicing in death. They have, as they say among us Christians, “the certainty of salvation”. If they fall in battle, they go straight to paradise. And they are undoubtedly adamant about it – otherwise they would not commit suicide bombings.
How can the Israelis defend themselves? How do you fight by the rules with a force that doesn’t recognize any rules?
At one time, when Israeli soldiers entered an apartment, they first searched the children’s room, especially the crib. That’s where they most often found weapons. The same thing is still happening on a large scale: Military staffs tend to be in the basements of hospitals, schools and mosques. Weapons are transported by ambulances.
But this deception can only be done for a limited time. It will stop working soon.
What do pro-Palestinian activists mean when they cry “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”? What kind of freedom are they after? Israelis want freedom from terrorists, freedom to live in their country without fear. Which countries do these activists consider to be “free”? What do these activists actually want? What would the world look like if they managed to fulfill their visions?
The Israeli army strives to ensure that as few people as possible, especially children, die. No, not that I didn’t. But how can we fight if the terrorist leadership in Gaza does not care how many children die? Many Western politicians and intellectuals are calling for Israel’s response to barbarism to be “proportionate” and “proportionate”? What this means specifically on a battlefield such as Gaza, however, no one can say.
Many reproach our foreign minister for not joining the voices of Western European politicians in particular so that Israel would not defend itself so much and commit genocide. (In the years that this “genocide” has allegedly been committed, Gaza’s population has quadrupled.) I hope that Minister Lipavský will not succumb to this pressure. I am happy that the Czech Republic is one of the few countries where Israelis can feel safe, along with Hungary.
One Israeli politician said that the Israelis have one extremely powerful weapon: They have nowhere to run.
