Why does everyone want Israel to lose?

When you read headlines that say “380 British writers demand Gaza ceasefire in open letter,” as well as “France wants Palestinian two-state solution, Macron says,” it makes you ask the question, “Why does everyone want Israel to lose?”

There is no question that those 380 British writers are not stupid people, yet they “demand an immediate ceasefire in Gaza” at a time when Hamas terrorists are still very much embedded in the Gazan population as well as their refusal to relinquish their leadership over the area and the people to whom they have brought nothing but devastation and great pain. 

Of course, it goes without saying that if a ceasefire were to take place now, before the job is finished, there is no doubt that Israel will be fighting another war as soon Hamas has had time to regroup, rearm and re-engage in another round of their goal to annihilate the Jewish state.

It’s nothing short of amazing that these intellectual writers are naively willing to take the word of human rights organizations, such as Amnesty International, Medecins San Frontieres and Human Rights Watch, all of whom have a clear agenda to defame and libel Israel as the country committing a genocide against Gazans, despite the continued warnings to civilians to move out of harm’s way before any fighting ensues. 

In their attempt to try to appear fair-minded, they also cite “the atrocities committed by Hamas against innocent civilians on October 7th as also being war crimes against humanity,” but the difference, unspoken by them, is that if Hamas were to end their campaign of destruction, Israel would stop fighting. The same cannot be said of what would happen if Israel would commit to a ceasefire.

The famous remark, made by Golda Meir, stating that “If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel,” is still relevant. Would those 380 writers wait to acknowledge that outcome after it has been realized? By then, it will be too late!

And what of Emanuel Macron, the President of France. Does he not understand the meaning of the cries, “From the river to the sea?” Is he unaware that the so-called Palestinians do not long for a two-state solution but rather the taking over of our sovereign state of Israel? 

Who believes that he has missed the last 18 months of raging protests throughout Europe, Australia and America, calling for the total destruction of the Jews and the wiping out of Israel as their homeland? Are we to believe that his advisors, as well as others who are well-versed on the Middle East conflict, have neglected to assure him that such a declaration could spell real trouble for the French President?

In fact, “diplomats and experts say such a move may prove a premature and ineffective way to pressure Israel into moving towards a peace deal with the Palestinians. They say it could deepen Western splits, not only within the already divided European Union, but also with the U.S., Israel’s staunchest ally.”

Saudi Arabia also knows this all too well. So why would they be entertaining being part of a U.N. conference, next month, along with France, to discuss the roadmap to a state that neither Israel nor her enemy wants?

There is only one conclusion from all of these preposterous demands on the side of France as well as these British writers, whose sentiments are also echoed by so many other countries and individuals. It is because they want to see Israel lose. There is no other outcome if what they are calling for is enacted.

This is what makes these people so disingenuous – the fact that they are ready to risk the existence of a country which is fighting on the front lines to preserve not only themselves, but the rest of humanity, the next victims of terrorism, targeting anyone who refuses to bend the knee to Islam and live in bondage to a system which advocates for the subjugation of all.

But such scenarios are just too fantastical for elite writers who ignorantly believe that this is nothing more than a geographical conflict contained only to Middle East residents. That is what makes all of this so dangerous! When uninformed and uninvolved people have no idea with whom they’re dealing, they make the fatal mistake of equating fighting a brutal enemy, set on everyone’s destruction, as a full-out genocide. It is the greatest miscalculation ever and one which will, undoubtedly, come back to bite them.

Ironically, these writers state, “This genocide implicates us all. We bear witness to the crimes of genocide and we refuse to approve them by our silence.” What truly implicates us all is their inability to understand an enemy which has cleverly marketed itself as a victim, skillfully reversing the role of good guy while falsely reporting lies which then incriminate the real heroes who are trying to eradicate the scourge of evil, seeking to snuff out the lives of everyone who is not of their ilk. 

It is this great oversight which has now made its way to U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, in an open letter, requesting that he impose sanctions on Israel as a result of their continued fight – never acknowledging that it is an existential battle. Included among its signers are “two former Supreme Court Justices, two Lords, over 70 King’s Counsel, as well as hundreds of barristers and solicitors.” 

These are the crème de la creme of British society, the great thinkers and the most educated and cultured yet, myopically, missing the great threat of our time against all of humanity. It seems incomprehensible that they could be so blinded by their antipathy for the Jewish nation and very possibly the Jewish people as well.

And what effect will such a respectable lineup have upon the British Prime Minister who, himself, doesn’t seem to be any great lover of Israel? Will he bravely go against the tide of his constituents or will he predictably cave in?

At the end of the day, it must be unequivocally stated that anyone who is calling for an immediate ceasefire or a two-state solution is, in effect, rooting for Israel to lose the battle which will eventually make its way to their own domicile.
