Feb. 8 (UPI) -- Thousands of pro-Israel demonstrators turned out near Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office in Jerusalem on Thursday to protest a cease-fire and call for a "total defeat" of Hamas.

Demonstrators waved pictures of fallen soldiers and victims of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack. Several demonstrators held signs that read "Qatar = Hamas, Hamas = Qatar," and "Qatar = Muslim Brotherhood."

Qatar is a major sponsor of Hamas and other terrorist networks. They have also spent more than $5 bn on American Universities, in case you were wondering why they are so anti-semitic these days.

The protest comes after officials for Qatar, the United States and Egypt on Wednesday arranged for a proposed cease-fire deal between Hamas and Israel. Hamas said it would release its hostages in exchange for a permanent cease-fire and a complete Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza.

How did the USA agree to such an idiotic proposal?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the proposal, describing it as "delusional" and an Israeli surrender.

Demonstrator Alon Pel, who showed up with his family Thursday, told the Jerusalem Post he believes Netanyahu will keep his pledge to continue the war until "total victory" is secured.

The Pel family held a handwritten sign quoting the words of King David, "I have pursued my enemies, and destroyed them, and turned back not again until I had consumed them." - Psalm 18:37.

Rabbi Benny Kalmanzon, who lost a child in the war, said if Israel "gives in" to a deal, "there won't be any communities near the border and ... Each and every one of us will be a target."

This means that the buffer zone will lie in Israel instead of in northern Gaza.

Dedi Simchi, whose son was killed on Oct. 7, said Israel must not compromise on destroying Hamas.




Isn't it curious that he would trust his niece to Israeli doctors? What do you think Hamas would do if they had Netanyahu's neice in a Gaza hospital?



While Israel Fights Hamas Leader,

His Niece is in an Israeli Hospital

In a tribal society, you can’t win by playing by Western rules.

Social media is saturated with pro-Hamas propaganda accusing Israel of every possible atrocity including killing Arab Muslims just for fun. In reality, much like us, Israel bends over backward to do just the opposite.

While the head of the political bureau of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, is still examining the proposal for a hostage deal formulated at the Paris summit, Israel’s News 13 reported that members of his family are receiving life-saving medical treatment at Soroka Hospital in Be’er Sheba.

Several of Haniyeh’s sisters are Israeli citizens through marriage to Bedouins and live in Tel Sheva in the Negev. In recent days, one of Haniyeh’s nieces gave birth to a baby in Soroka hospital. The baby was born prematurely and has since been hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit. The medical staff at the hospital have been working to save his life.

As the story goes on to document, multiple Haniyeh family members have been treated in Israeli hospitals.

While some Haniyeh family members were transferred out of Gaza for treatment in the past, this specific niece is apparently from the side of the family that married into a Bedouin clan and has members, including one of Haniyeh’s nephews, who served in the Israeli Army.

The Negev is desert land east and south
of Gaza
Like most things in the Arab world, this comes down to tribalism. Historically certain Arab clans chose to make their peace with Israel while others waged war against it. Hamas is at least partly made up of tribal enterprises as well as its overall characteristic as a Muslim Brotherhood organization. What that means is that the difference between being in Hamas or a Muslim Bedouin serving in the IDF is which family you belong to or, if you’re a woman, marry into.

In a society where tribalism or ideology are everything, compassion or humanity buys you nothing. That’s why Israel’s efforts to provide medical care to Arab Muslims have won it zero points from either Arab Muslims or from the pro-terrorist Left.

Yes, but God is watching!

There’s no common humanity or set of values, just a line. The Islamist or leftist side of the line is purely ideological. Either you’re in their movement, an ally or an enemy. There’s no middle ground there.

And the tribal metric isn’t just about being an Arab Muslim, but the right kind. Bedouins were massacred and kidnapped on Oct 7. Some have declared blood feuds while others have family ties to those in Gaza.

It’s not that the situation isn’t black and white, it’s that the black and white tones aren’t those portrayed in the media.

In a tribal society, you can’t win by playing by Western rules. That’s the painful lesson we learned in Iraq and Afghanistan. It’s a lesson that Israel urgently needs to learn.
