How Some Americans Support Terrorism Against Israel
(Gatestone Institute) Bassam Tawil - Fourteen members of the U.S. Congress have joined the Jihad (holy war) against Israel by urging the Biden administration to reconsider U.S. military aid to Israel. Their letter ignores that Israel's counterterrorism measures are a legitimate act of self-defense. Israeli measures, including raids on the homes of terrorists and confiscation of weapons, are the direct result of a 300% increase in terror attacks over the past year. When there is no terrorism, there is no need for Israel to launch counterterrorism operations. When Israel uses weapons, it is with the purpose of combating terrorism and protecting the lives of its people. When Palestinians use weapons, it is always with the aim of murdering Jews. As far as the Palestinians are concerned, all Israeli Jews are "settlers" living in one big illegitimate settlement, Israel, which needs to be replaced by a 57th Muslim state. The mullahs in Tehran - and their proxies in Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hizbullah - believe that the country of Israel has no right to exist and that Israel should be eradicated, primarily through Jihad. If the members of Congress want to find out about human rights violations, they are invited to look at the repressive measures taken by the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza against their own people.
