Israel Fights Evil. The West Calls It Escalation

They gain social traction among those who never cared for Jewish survival. Western leaders today speak of “proportionality.” But there is nothing proportional about responding to pogroms with peace talks. There is no symmetry between a sovereign democracy defending its citizens and a terrorist organization using its civilians as tactical debris. To demand restraint from Israel is to demand complicity in its own destruction.

Israel is asked to disarm while surrounded by enemies who chant for its annihilation. Here’s what they won’t say, but every Jew knows: If Israel lays down its weapons, there will be another massacre.

Jewish sovereignty is not contingent on Western comfort. Let the West rage. Let politicians posture. Let journalists play moral acrobatics.

Israel is not in a PR war. It is in a war for the future of Jewish life.

Because the truth is, Israel is doing exactly what every moral nation should do when faced with evil. Israel is not “escalating.” It is ending the reign of a death cult that turned children into shields. It is ending the delusion that you can make peace with people who danced in the streets while Jews were slaughtered.

They throw around terms like “ethnic cleansing,” ignoring that it is Hamas who declared that Jews must be eradicated “from the river to the sea.” They speak of “international law” while ignoring that every square inch of Hamas’ infrastructure is a war crime. They want ceasefires, not justice. A “two-state solution.” They speak in comfortable abstractions because facing reality would mean admitting that evil is not nuanced. They want Jewish grief, not Jewish strength.

Jews owe their children a future. And that is what Israel is doing with the clarity of a people who refuse to die. Let history remember that when the world wavered, Israel didn’t.

And when the last siren fell silent, it was not because evil surrendered, but because the Jewish people ended it.

For dignity. For permanence. For life.
