A look at who's attacking Israel

Silence from ‘Squad’ in Congress on social media about Hamas attacks | JNS | clevelandjewishnews.com     . . ."The group of congresswomen, whose three most prominent members are Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), has long attacked Israel in a manner that Jewish organizations and others call antisemitic.

"None of the three has posted on X about the Hamas terrorist attacks.
“ 'Anyone hear from The Squad, or are they too busy celebrating?” wrote Esther Panitch, a member of the Georgia House of Representatives who is Jewish.
“The Squad usually lives on social media, rushing to judgment on every piece of news. Are they at brunch?” wrote Brent Scher, investigations editor at the Daily Wire.
"A founding member of the group, Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Ma.), wrote on X that “these devastating attacks on Israelis are deeply alarming and my heart breaks for the victims and their loved ones.' ” . . .

 Gazans should go elsewhere and contribute to the world economy.  Their role as bloody nuisance doesn't get the respect it once did.  With the current attacks, they earn contempt. 

"Why are there people in the Gaza Strip?   Here is some context for the question.  Canada is 16% larger than the U.S. but has only 11% of our population.  Australia is almost the size of the U.S. but has only two thirds the population of Canada. 

"Why don't people flood all that empty space? They can't make a living there.  Canada is too frozen and Australia is too dry to support large populations.

"How do the estimated two million residents of Gaza support themselves?  They don't.  They subsist on welfare from rich Arab states and Iran.  As with most pure welfare recipients, they have little incentive to improve their lot.  Their per capita income is $5,600.  They could join much of the Middle East and migrate to Europe or Turkey.  They could travel to Jordan (income $9,200) or neighboring Egypt (income $11,600).

"On the other hand, getting chump change to do little or nothing is a good gig for people acclimated to welfare.  They're also fed the propaganda that their poverty serves the greater purpose of inconveniencing Israel and killing Israelis.

"For those who think I'm being too harsh on Gazans, here are two interesting points that encompass manufacturing and agriculture." . . . 

Joe Biden's $6-billion war on Israel - American Thinker  . . ."Death is final.  But doctors believe there are good deaths — deaths that are swift and accompanied by scant pain.  Good deaths are contrasted with bad deaths — by a pain-filled long bout with cancer or lung ailments.  And then there are the horror-filled deaths, such as those the world witnessed when jihadists televised beheadings. 

"Then there are the horror-filled deaths that have not been televised or even much discussed: the deaths Palestinian terrorists heap on their Israeli and Jewish victims.

Israel takes great lengths to obtain the corpses of Israelis slain by Arabs.  Usually the corpses come back mutilated; besides signs of torture, bodies are returned with eyes gouged and penises in mouths.

Wiping Israel off the map - American Thinker   

Despite Joe Biden’s supposed pro-Israel words, I don’t know where he really stands on this issue because he lies so often, but this I can tell you: Those on the side of the Jihadists will not prevail. Perhaps drawing stark lines along this fault will weed out some of the more fulminating anti-Israel Jew-haters.
