Women and children first – Islam’s human shield weapon
It’s the day after what should have been the realization of President Donald J. Trump’s threats to the demonic regime. Even giving it a name, Bridge and Power Plant Destruction Day, Israelis were supposed to wake up to a brand-new Middle East – one where the promise of death to Israel was no more.
Instead, we woke up multiple times, in the middle of the night, to cluster bombs throughout the country – launched both by Iran and their Lebanon proxy fighters – Hezbollah.
The only condition to prevent such a catastrophic military operation against Iran, was to open the Straits of Hormuz. But the deadly regime had one more card to play, and that was the “Women and children first” tactic.
Just hours before the passing of the deadline, women dressed in black burqas, holding Iranian flags, were seen surrounding the power plants. Strategically placed and interspersed with babies and children, they came out in full force, ready to die for their IRGC soldiers, who clearly put them up to it. Whether they knew that death was the endgame is not clear, since only 1% of the population is said to have Internet access.
But it didn’t matter, because once that sight of human shields was made public, it was the moment that Trump was likely to blink. As someone said, “By going that far, causing the weaponization of women and children, there was a signal that Iran was relying upon American morality to save the day.”
Whether or not that was the reason that an 11th hour ceasefire agreement took place, it worked. The threat to blow up every Iranian power plant could no longer happen, because such an act would have resulted in the massacre they were hoping for.
Those human shields, as far as the IRGC was concerned, were not only useful props. They were the expendable lives which meant nothing to them – ready to be snuffed out for the sake of winning the game.
While it’s anyone’s guess why Trump did not go through with his promised attack, the women and children “ace up the sleeve” seems to be the most obvious reason.
And there it is again – the most successful way to prevent war – the coward’s way out, and the greatest argument to prove that Islam is a demonic death cult which holds life with contempt as it weaponizes the weakest and most vulnerable of society.
It was done in every recent war fought against Israel and remains the standard bearer for Islam, showing the world that they will go to the ultimate extreme if they believe it’s warranted. And now they have, yet again.
What human being on the face of the planet doesn’t realize what’s happening? Is it possible that young people, raised in the free society of America are unable to see the greatest evil of placing women and children in harm’s way, cynically using them as war tools, and somehow justify this type of horror movie – no matter how Woke they are?
Are they incapable of internalizing this monstrous sight, imagining what it’s like to be put in such a situation as this? Did they receive no moral instruction at home, school or any other place? How did they develop into the generation with no heart, conscience or clear-thinking mind?
But this is now what they must confront. They will have to come up with very creative excuses and rationale for why the weaponization of life deserves their support and admiration. But it’s not only them. Democratic leaders have been on a rampage to stop this war from proceeding.
Just last night, California representative Ro Khanna appeared on “The Story” with Martha MacCallum on the Fox News network. Calling Trump a war criminal, Khanna’s outrage knew no limits. Suggesting that the president be impeached, due to war crimes, none of which he could list when pressed, Khanna could not bring himself to condemn the regime as deserving of complete annihilation, despite his pathetic lip service that they were, indeed, evil.
When trying to show the parallel to the Nazi era of a century ago, MacCallum did her best to challenge the congressman, urging him that fighting this type of scourge is incumbent upon freedom-loving people.
But Khanna wasn’t having any of it. That is because he represents a party which would likely justify and praise the tactic of human shields, defending the right to use women and children as a means to prevent what Trump intended to do.
It’s not much different from the claim that Israel got what it deserved on October 7, because they had left Hamas terrorists no alternative but to fight the colonialist oppressors who stole their land. Always willing to come to the side of anyone against the Jews, their madness has taken them to a place where they have chosen depravity each time.
It’s stunning to watch what has happened to these ordinary Americans who made a bargain with the devil, either by choice or by the peer pressure which led them to believe that they had to get in on the trend being set by their friends.
How jaded does one have to be, though, to not see that this qualifies as the ultimate abuse of human rights which they claim to champion? When is it ever okay to put women and children on the front lines of a battle which can only end up with their deaths?
Herein is a picture of their twisted religion, rising from the pit of hell, where only death is hailed as the ultimate achievement.
If nothing else, this latest round should wake up even the most callous of souls as to what ghastly evil they have chosen to defend. No one can feign ignorance or not having seen what was broadcast on every media outlet for all to view.
It was the final attempt to stop what was clearly meant to be the death knell of a regime which had oppressed and tortured their people for nearly half a century. We waited for it, celebrating its advent, but it did not come, because the morality of a nation, birthed in Judeo-Christian biblical ethics, could not bring itself to pull the trigger.
So, believe what you want – that the Straits will be open and that Iran will fall in line as obedient signers of this latest 10-point agreement. Either way, a leopard doesn’t change its spots, and neither will Iran, the country which was willing to let their women and children die first!
