In fact, the first who started the violence, which led to the present operations in Gaza was indeed Hamas who kidnapped three children and killed them. Immediately after, Hamas began launching rockets. Israel is in the same position as Egypt, who fought against Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood and also closed tunnels, like the Israelis. Egypt is now governed by an intelligent and honest man, President Abdel Fattah El Sisi.

It has been known for thousands of years that the Europeans have always been against the Jews. The difference between the past and the present is that in the past Europeans have always hated the Jews, while they were defenseless. Currently nothing has changed, except that today Jews can defend themselves.

Israel will soon show its best inventions that will shock and shake the world. In the meantime, Israel should be patient and respond to every rocket. Sooner or later Hamas’ rockets will end. But it is clear that the world we live in is weak, including the American president and his secretary of state who did not have the will to defend Christians in Iraq since until now only yesterday our president gave the instruction to go ahead  against I.S.I.S.’ activities. The president let die more than a hundred thousand Syrians and we all were observers. Young and old, women and children have died without any aid coming from the Americans or Europeans. If we Americans do not act, who will be able to respond? We are the only ones, the largest and strongest in the world. Alas, we are led by a weak and indecisive president. Unfortunately it is the American people who elected him and the super liberals who support him.

As for Israel, it must not wait for the reactions of the American president, because he has demonstrated his ways and his lack of action in Syria. Despite the fact that Israel is an ally of the United States, Obama is still trying to put the blame on it. America is now an ally of Qatar and Hamas is its protégé, thus automatically Hamas became a silent ally of the United States. They want us to believe that we are honest Democrats, while we cover the UN which had distorted the figures of deaths in Gaza, to demonstrate that the Israelis had committed crimes. Of course they also want us to forget that Hamas is a terrorist organization and not a government. Its boss, the Muslim Brotherhood, has been driven out by the current president of Egypt, who had discovered that President Morsi was a traitor and trained soldiers of his party (the Muslim Brotherhood) in Sinai, in secret, against the Egyptian army.

During World War II the Jews were seen going to the slaughterhouse and no one could save them. But fortunately, as the famous Washington Post journalist, Charles Krauthammer, who had served during the Bush administration as an adviser to the president said, "They have always blamed the Jews. The difference today is that Jews can fight." And I would say that the Israeli army is cleaner than any army in the world. I say this knowingly. The Jewish people are the most human that ever existed.

Those who tell us that Hamas are not terrorists, or that Qatar is a clean nation, while they are the ones who handled all the purchases of weapons that remained in Libya and sold them not only to Hamas, but also to a number of similar entities, are wrong. The Benghazi case proves it.

As for the UN, as famous journalist Evelyn Gordon writes in her article in Commentary, "Exposing the UN’s Unreliable Data on Gaza Casualties," the UN has collaborated with Hamas by including many of the terrorists killed in operations in the number of "civilian" deaths communicated to the media, because they do not wear uniforms.

Israelis must fight against shadows, because most terrorists are in tunnels or cellars three floors underground, or they appear as civilians.

I can say two things: either Obama is against Israel and with Hamas, or he is unable to see the truth. Alas, the extreme left who elected him, including the Jews can verify this - whether Obama was honest with Israel or not. Fortunately Israel is an independent state, which has one of the best armies in the world and a courageous and honest people. So sooner or later, all truths will emerge. My position is: since when a terrorist organization dictates its demands for peace, believing that the Israelis are idiots and they will tremble in fear? The near future will show us. I know my people in all situations, good and bad.

As for my Arab friends, whether on Facebook or on my other sites, who are reading my writings, I rely on them to reveal the truth as they think, because soon a wake-up call will ring the alarm. Only the honest and the brave will show their face. The others will hide. So far I have always held the Arabs in high esteem and I've never mistaken them for terrorists.

As written by Mr. Elliott Abrams of the Council on Foreign Relations, in one of his speeches, Bush “challenged the leadership of Yasser Arafat, whom the administration had found to be continuing to support terrorism and lie to American officials about it”. This approach will never bring about the friendship between Israel and the Arabs, which Bourguiba, Tunisian’s first President, had desired, a vision modeled on the former Tunisian Jewish-Arab friendship, although he himself did not feel he was an Arab, but rather a Tunisian. Arabs must stop glorifying terror and death. They must forget that the Jews were dhimmis and stop always believing that the Jews had no right to their nation. This thought leads nowhere.

By now, the Palestinian Arabs have lost years for an imaginary goal. They believe that the Jews of Israel and the world do not see what the Americans did to Abbas’ Palestinians. The American military has trained the Palestinians with the full knowledge of Israel and Israel had never objected because Israel wanted the Palestinian Authority to have its army instead of terrorists. Unfortunately it turns out that the Palestinians are the same. What had happened to this army, trained by the Americans? Once they acquired the knowledge and skills, they passed into Gaza to join the terrorists. They do the same thing that Arafat did, who had given his word to the Americans, that he would no longer use terror. Afterwards the Americans realized that Arafat had lied to them. In addition, there is the lie of UNRWA which also lied to Israel and the world, letting Hamas build tunnels and weapons depots in schools and hospitals with the money they received to supposedly build houses. UNWRA had called on Israel to let the materials pass, such as cement and iron. Eventually it turned out that they had built tunnels, leaving the poor people to starve in poverty, in slums and refugee camps.

Basically, Netanyahu agreed to resume negotiations with the Palestinian Authority, because Obama had requested it through Kerry, knowing well that such negotiations were useless, just to please Obama and especially as not to offend him. Kerry knew that, but he also wanted to have his hands in the dough, so as to say he was doing something that appealed to Obama. He managed to get the message through, thanks to the wisdom of Netanyahu who played his role in these negotiations, which did nothing but repeat themselves without advancing a step.

In reality, it is from the American administration that the tension between Israel and Gaza terrorists emanates. This leaves no other choice for the Israelis than to stay in the American game that wants to please Qatar, sacrificing human beings on the side of Hamas and Israel, but the main reason is that Obama was astonished that the Egyptians had driven out the Muslim Brotherhood from power. Obama was hurt by the Egyptians and I believe he wanted to silently take revenge against Egypt indirectly through Hamas, which is the child of the Muslim Brotherhood. Basically, Obama is directly in the hands of Qatar and Hamas. Whatever Israel does is the opposite of Obama’s wishes and unfortunately the Europeans are stupidly following Obama, wanting to please him. Those Americans who will be in power tomorrow will remember the honeyed attitude of Europeans towards Obama, instead of being themselves. But the Europeans are going to fall into a trap because of their present conduct, because Obama is already losing his popularity with the majority of Americans.

To me, this is not the time for a real peace because the Palestinians are not mature or educated for that. The proof is that the Arabs living in Israel enjoy full democratic rights. Many of them voluntarily join the Israeli army.

The time to make peace will come when the Arabs of Palestine will understand that it cannot be imposed on either party, and stop terrorist actions. Israel gives them the opportunity to improve their lifestyle.

Mr. Obama should once and for all stop putting pressure on the Israelis for the benefit of a terrorist organization and focus on saving the unfortunate Christians and Kurds from the threat of I.S.I.S., before they spread to other Arab countries. It is the duty of the Americans because we are the largest and strongest country in the world.
