Hamas, active in Israel at the behest of Supreme Leader of
Iran Ali Khamenei, a dark imitation of the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, has
been compared by some wide-awake commentators with Russian President Vladimir
Putin’s proxy army, the Wagner Group. Putin, some Western political speculators
reckon, may be at death’s doorstep, but this rumor may be either hopeful
thinking or Russian propaganda.
Actually, Iran has at its disposal three carefully groomed
proxy armies: Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, bordering Israel to the
north, and the Houthi in Yemen.
Proxy armies allow their leaders to assume indifference and
deniability to the damage sown by the proxy army, while assuring that no body
bags will choke the streets of Moscow or Tehran. Generally, people react
unfavorably to the stench of corpses brought home by failed state leaders.
Hessian forces had their uses during the American
Revolution, but it was only battlefields scarred by the lifeless bodies of
British soldiers that turned the tide in America from colonialism to liberty
and independence.
After a direct and successful attack by Hamas terrorist
forces -- supported as always by Iran, a state that provided both munitions and
training to Hamas -- Israel is hoping to rid Gaza of its Iranian supported
overlords. The Israeli state seems united in its mission of destroying, root
and branch, both Hamas and Hezbollah.
Hamas, both a Gazan government and a terrorist organization,
is wholly dependent on the generosity of Shia Iran and its confederates.
During the last few decades Iran has spent little of its
cash reserves improving the business prospects of Palestinians, who are treated
as little more than propagandistic war fodder. And Iran’s recently refilled
coffers – $80 million of which is a direct result of U.S. President Joe Biden’s
reluctance to impose U.S. Congressional approved sanctions on the country’s oil
production – are, as usual, devoted to the dismemberment and destruction of
Israel.
Two Israeli Emergency Workers, paramedics from Israel's
emergency response agency ZAKA, have described in vivid detail in the pages of
The Epoch Times, the horrors they saw immediately
following the Iran supported Hamas attack on Israeli young people enjoying
themselves at a music festival.
Neither vivid descriptions nor photos of Hamas’ handiwork
have appeared in mainstream newspapers in Connecticut, largely because neither
would be possible without causing sickening revulsion – even, one hesitates to
say, among Harvard students arguing for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza
following Hamas’ strike against non-militant concert attendees.
In New Haven, Hundreds of students participated in a
walk-out for Palestine, according to the Yale Daily News: “’By walking out,
we are joining classmates and colleagues across the campus and across the world
to demand an immediate end to Israel’s genocidal siege on Gaza, an end to U.S.
funding for the occupation, and an end to the illegitimate Zionist occupation
of Palestinian land,’ student organization Yalies4Palestine wrote in an
Instagram post advertising the event.”
Photographs of such
scenes would verge on sadistic pornography perhaps not covered by the U.S.
Constitution’s freedom of speech amendment.
"I'll tell you
this," Yaakov [one of the emergency response workers] said. "I work
in a poultry slaughterhouse. Sometimes, there are chickens that have a disease,
and it is forbidden to take them out; and therefore, they kill them all so that
there are no infections.
"It looked like a
duck range,” just piles of discarded bodies, in the worst conditions, thrown
and scattered, just like ..."
His voice trailed off
before he finished the sentence.
"It's hard for a human being to perceive
what I saw. People are tied to their beds, and their bodies are burned. My
friends on the team saw beheaded bodies, and they told me that they took a pair
of parents, tied them to the fence, and in front of their eyes, they shot the
children and then killed the parents.
"It's not just to
kill. It's to make the parents suffer by letting them see how they kill the
children—crazy things. You don't know where this crazy mind came from, what
kind of crazy mind thinks of such sadism.
Israel has pledged to rout Hamas from Gaza and to defend
itself from attacks by Iran supported Hezbollah in Lebanon, which shares a
border with Israel to the north.
For what it’s worth, Biden appears to be ready to support
Israel in its efforts to liberate both Israel and Gaza of sadistic terrorists.
Iran, the terrorist’s financier in the Middle East, has so
far escaped any punishment above verbal slaps on the wrists by wordy American
politicians. Relying on terrorist proxies, body bags have yet to flood the
streets of Tehran, and the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, asked recently whether he
would abide by conditions put by the United States on what can only be regarded
as a cash loan to Iran sponsored by The Great Satan, the Supreme Leader of Iran
replied insouciantly, contempt dripping from his nose, that the $8 million in
the pipeline belonged legally to Iran and Iran will spend the returned money as
it sees fit.
One imagines that little of the $8 billion unimpounded cash,
or the $80 billion Iran has managed to haul into its coffers as a result of the
Biden administration’s inattention to the will of the U.S. Congress, will be
provided to Gazans as business loans.
Iran, we all know, is not in the business of making life more
profitable for Gazans. It is in the Murder Incorporated business.
Harvard and Yale protestors take note.
