Hell Yes: In. My. Name!

(not) In My Name

Almost 40 percent of young American Jews support Hamas. Thousands of others proclaim, “Not in my name,” and stand against Israel.

In their words, “We all have a role to play in stopping the Israeli military’s genocide in Gaza.”

Before getting to what I want to say, I’ll begin with a word about genocide.

We Jews Absolutely Stink at Genocide

Our genocidal track record is pathetic. Think about it. Genocide is nothing other than one people’s attempt to annihilate another people. The Nazis were genocidal, planned a “final solution,” and built an industry to hunt, herd, transport, and exterminate the Jews of Europe. Six million dead Jews later, they almost succeeded. The Germans were good at genocide. We Jews stink at it. For the last two decades, during which the Palestinian elected leadership—Hamas—ruled Gaza, and when Israel was supposedly waging genocide, the Gazan population increased from 1.2 million to 2.5 million. Those are very poor genocide numbers. During that time, the booming Gazan construction industry implemented one of the most sophisticated multi-billion-dollar infrastructure projects in the history of the Middle East; the construction of a vast tunnel system designed to wage war against the Jews, and use above ground Gazan civilians as human shields. Does a growing population and a thriving construction industry sound like a place that’s being genocided? To believe that we Jews are genocidal is to believe that the same country that brought you Start-Up nation, multiple Nobel prizes, revolutionary agricultural technologies, and then totally destroyed all Iranian air defenses, somehow can’t get its act together when it comes to genocide.

The Jews of Israel tend to be an intelligent and creative bunch, yet when it comes to genocide, suddenly we’re bumbling idiots. Strange, no? Maybe genocide never even crossed our Jewish minds. How’s that for an inconvenient idea? Maybe it’s not that we are committing genocide but that all of Greta’s global fans wish we were, and hope that if they wish long and loud enough, their slander will actually catch on, which, lo and behold, it has. And now, a world accustomed to accusing Jews of everything from killing God to killing children and using their blood in Passover Matzah dough, can accuse us of using the mass starvation of Gazan children as a weapon of genocide.

But that’s not what I want to focus on today.

Today what I want to focus on is why I, as a Jew, loudly and proudly proclaim, YES: In. My. Name!

In. My. Name.

I’m grateful and proud that a Jewish army in the Jewish State can do what it is doing in Gaza to, hopefully, retrieve ALL our hostages, protect our people, and totally destroy Hamas. Dear IDF—in. my. name.—may you be blessed with complete success in all you do. I’m comfortable proclaiming: In. My. Name. because—

Palestinian society is demonstrably the most evil society in human history, surpassing even the gold standard of Nazi Germany. There are seven reasons why this is true—

  • Child sacrifice: When Nazi mothers sent their children to war, they hoped they would return home victorious, safe, and sound. Not so in Gaza. Like all mothers, Gazans want the best for their children, and in their case that means hoping their children die as Jihadi martyrs in the battle to eradicate the Jews. That’s right, Gazan mothers and grandmothers don’t pass out candy and celebrate with family and friends when their children return safely, no, they only pass out those candies when their kids die. And, if they happen to die while blowing themselves up in the middle of a crowd of Jewish kids, well, that gets the neighborhood even more candy.

To educate one’s children to aspire to die, and for parents to celebrate those deaths, is the setting of a new standard for cultivating a depraved culture of evil.

  • Human shields:             For you not-in-my-namers out there, here’s an evil little factoid for you to chew on. In addition to conventional weapons like guns and missiles, Hamas uses women, hospital patients, and school children as unconventional weapons. Israeli soldiers wear body armor, while Hamas fighters wear women, the elderly, and day care centers as armor. And not only are these civilians happy to give their lives, because that means they will have given their lives for Allah, they understand that the higher the number of civilian deaths, the better. Why? Because they know that while they are happy to die as heaven bound martyrs, masses of American college kids will be outraged by the Palestinian deaths that Palestinians celebrate. For Palestinians, civilian deaths are a win-win-win situation. (i) The dead Muslim goes to heaven, and for guys, that includes a 72-virgin bonus. (ii) The dead Muslim shield either saved a Jihadi warrior, helped kill a Jew, or both. (iii) Hamas gets to leverage dead civilians to turn world opinion against the evil Jews, which apparently isn’t hard to do. That’s impressive groundbreaking military strategy, no? Not even the Nazis thought of that.
  • Rape as a weapon:       Hamas systematically uses rape and sexual torture, mutilation, and humiliation as a weapon. Gazan fighters trained for sexual battle, raped Jewish girls to death, mutilated their dead bodies, and cut off their breasts and kicked them around like soccer balls. Boys will be boys. Sadistic, cutting edge evil little boys. Then, when those boys were done with their fun, they filmed their trophies, sent videos to their moms and dads, and were heartly praised for their Allah Akhbar golden boot accomplishments. True, the Nazis had a very high tolerance level for atrocities—after all they did make stylish lampshades out of Jewish flesh—but the people of Gaza are determined to give the award-winning Nazis a run for their money.
  • Kidnapping:       Hamas perfected the art of kidnapping and executing elderly men and women, and babies, as a weapon of war. And they do so with the assistance of Gazan families happy to “host,” their Jewish guests. In addition to starving, sexually abusing, and torturing their captives, Hamas also perfected the art of using hostages to psychologically torture not just the hostage families, but all Israeli society. The Nazis that invaded France and Poland never used kidnapping as a strategic weapon, but once again, a Jihadi ideology boldly blazes new pathways in the dark arts of human barbarism.
  • Kinocide:       On October 7th, Hamas pioneered a new type of atrocity, kinocide, the targeting of family units. There was nothing random in their heinous attack on families. Infants were executed. Parents were forced to watch the murder of children, and children the murder of parents. Entire families were bound and burned alive. Hamas tortured family members before dragging them into Gaza.
  • Starve Your Neighbor:       Finally, the trademark steal, eat, and sell your neighbors food, starve him, and blame it on the Jews initiative. This innovative program allows Hamas to falsely claim that people are starving in Gaza, keep on nourishing its rapist fighters, while turning people like French President Macaroon against Israel. And if anyone does starve to death, it’s okay because they get a free pass into the heavenly all-you-can-eat section of the lucky Muslim martyr club.
  • Cheering crowds:           When Hamas paraded bloodied Jews through the streets Gaza, Gazans cheered wildly, spit on the Jews, and tried to tear them to pieces. When Hamas sent GoPro footage to family and friends, again, they cheered wildly. When Hamas made a humiliating spectacle of malnourished hostages being released in macabre ceremonies, throngs of Gazans jeered the helpless Jews. That scene reminded me of Austrian pedestrians watching elderly Jews on their knees scrubbing the streets of Vienna in 1938, only this time, the choreographed humiliation was broadcast for the world to see.

With these characteristics of Hamas behavior, you have a new GOAT of evil.

Don’t Forget Iran and Hezbollah

Let’s not forget, the Hezbollah Jihadis were planning to do the same thing Hamas does—rape, torture, kidnap, and kinocide—but on a larger scale. Thank God that while we Jews can’t figure out how the heck to genocide, we were clever enough to set up a shell company, sell Hezbollah their beepers, and—Boom!

And just for good measure, according to the Hamas Charter, Egypt and Jordan are traitors. Why? Because they made peace with Israel. To Hamas, Iran’s’ Ayatollahs, the Iranian armed Houthis, and Hezbollah—who was created, trained and armed by Iran—war with the Jews has absolutely nothing to do with two states, occupation, or pursuing any sort of “peaceful solution to the conflict.” Like their historic competitors from Berlin, for Hamas, and many, if not most people in Gaza, and millions of fellow Islamists and their supporters, this “conflict” is a zero sum reality with only one possible solution; a final solution to the problem of the malignant Jews that have metastasized into a gigantic tumor with a Star of David on its flag. The Jews must be totally excised from the Middle East, no matter how long that takes, and no matter how many of “their own people” die along the way.

HELL YES. In. My. Name!

To all you Jews walking around with “not in my name” on your lips, I suggest you think long and hard about who you are standing with, and who you are standing against. And all you Ivy League “Free Palestine” chanters, I just hope Jihadis like those spilling out of Gaza, Iran, and Lebanon don’t make it to your campus one day. Because if they do, they will rape, burn, and behead you faster than you can say, well, “not in my name.”

As for me—

I repeat: I’m grateful and proud that there is a Jewish army in the Jewish State capable of doing what it is doing to, hopefully, retrieve ALL our tortured hostages, protect our people, destroy Hamas, crush Hezbollah, and neuter the Islamic Republics nuclear program.

Dear IDF—in. my. name.—may you be blessed with complete success in all you do. As a Jew, my only regret is that I never had the privilege and honor of donning your holy green garments.
