(Washington Free Beacon) Matthew Continetti - As Israel defeats its enemies on the battlefields in Gaza and Lebanon, the intifada has gone global. The fronts of the war against the Jewish state encompass America's cities, the UN, the U.S. Senate, and the International Criminal Court. Marches, resolutions, embargoes, arrest warrants - these are the tactics by which Hamas sympathizers worldwide intend to isolate Israel diplomatically, undermine Israel's war against terrorism, and intimidate the Jewish people. America must provide Israel with the cover and support it needs to cripple Hamas and Hizbullah and restore deterrence to the Middle East. Oct. 7 inaugurated an era of unchecked anti-Israel and anti-Semitic conduct on the part of governments, NGOs, and multilateral institutions. Hamas breaks a ceasefire with Israel, Hamas murders, rapes, wounds, scars, abducts, and uses human shields, yet Israel takes the brunt of the response. Hamas and Hizbullah and the Houthis and the militias and Iran fire rockets, drones, and missiles indiscriminately into Israel, yet Israel is the party to the conflict that international institutions and some U.S. senators want to disarm.
