After Israelis Eliminate Top Hamas Terrorist Yahya Sinwar, the War Must Go On
(Washington Times) Clifford D. May - On Oct. 16, Israeli soldiers eliminated Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas commander who plotted and implemented the invasion of Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. Sinwar's goal was not to force Israel to end the "occupation" of Gaza because all Israelis left Gaza in 2005. His goal was to destroy Israel "from the river to the sea" and then replace it with a theocracy. President Biden is again pressuring Israel to cease firing and offer deals. He fails to comprehend that enemies who are determined to kill you for ideological or theological reasons cannot be appeased. A big stick may deter them, but offers of carrots only whet their appetite for more war, genocide and conquest. The writer is founder and president of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD).
