“Senior Hamas Official Mahmoud Al-Zahhar: The World Will Accept the Expulsion of Israel, Like It Accepted the Expulsion of the U.S. by the Taliban; Gulf Leaders Will Be Forced to Flee like Ashraf Ghani,” MEMRI, August 19, 2021:
Senior Hamas official Mahmoud Al-Zahhar said that the world has accepted the Taliban’s expulsion of the United States occupation as legitimate and the same will be true for Gaza. He made his remarks in an interview that aired on Al-Aqsa TV (Hamas-Gaza) on August 19, 2021. Al-Zahhar said that a “liberation” enterprise is different from a “terrorist” one. He further said that the leaders of the Gulf countries, who normalized ties with Israel will soon flee their countries like Zine El Abidine Ben Ali fled Tunisia and Ashraf Ghani recently fled Afghanistan.

Moral equivalency thinking is regularly a hallmark of the deficient—as here.
Israel is a state and the only truly decent state in the Middle East. Afghanistan is hopeless because it is virtually 100% Muslim and the US never wanted to turn this state into anything but the Muslim state which it unfortunately has been for centuries, foolishly concluding that you could construct a decent state along Islamic ethical, legal and political lines. No you can’t.
ANY Islamic nation, to the extent that it has real decency, has it because Islamic norms are disregarded and not implemented. Any Islamic country to the extent that it is free and viable is due to its being done IN SPITE OF ISLAM and not BECAUSE OF ISLAM.
And herein lies the huge difference (and also the stupidity by the US since 2001 which has wasted treasure and lives in Afghanistan) which those who engage in moral equivalency thinking utterly fail to comprehend. Muslims are simply superb at moral equivalency thinking. Even worse, so are many non-Muslims in the West today and why the West is, in part, in the mess it’s in right now, i.e. precisely because of moral equivalency thinking, for instance that Islam is in its theological blueprint is as peace oriented as Christianity is in its theological blueprint. No it is not.
Long live Israel, which is now on its own as long as the idiotic Biden Administration continues in power, power I might add that at least 100 million Americans, including myself, think was stolen from President Trump back in November of 2020.

A well-written assessment by Wellingtion of the mentally-challenged propagandists who speak not to learn the truth, but to hide their evil intentions.

Reply to statement: “Muslims are simply superb at moral equivalency thinking.”
Not only. Muslims believe that a bad Muslims is still superior to a saintly kafir.
A Muslim is ‘better’ because he believes a pedophiliac 7th-century bandit, polygamist, slave-trader and genocidist is a prophet.
Anyone who does not believe the absurdities of Islam is considered to be undeserving to live.
A Muslim is never equivalent to a kafir. A kafir is always despised, even if the Muslim does not say so. A Muslim is not even allowed to compliment a kafir.

They may be emboldened, but like I said some weeks ago, they are apples and pineapples. The US is in a country halfway around the world where its troops are nowhere near home. Whereas Israel is on its home turf, and has nowhere to leave

Israel also has nuclear weaponry, which it will use if it becomes necessary for survival. We tend to think in large bomb terms when in fact, tactical low-yield nukes, have been made into artillery shells since the 1950s.
You can be certain that Israel has specialized nuclear devices, some we have never seen, as well as typical devices. The large bombs are precisely why Iran will not directly attack Israel – it is far enough removed geographically that Israel could bomb Iran without fallout danger or killing its own citizens. Israel could also choose to respond with EMP-optimized devices leaving Tehran and Qom without utilities – putting them out of business.
Hamas stupidly thinks Israel will bow out if its survival is in doubt when the opposite is true. It is more likely to remove both Hamas and its human shields.
Israel has nowhere to go and in the face of bad odds might ignore what liberals or jihadists think. The US set the precedent in Hiroshima and Nagasaki – that there was a limit to how many soldiers will be sacrificed for victory before it sends, “.. death, the destroyer of worlds”

Hamas top dog: Taliban expelled US occupiers, legitimizing Hamas efforts to expel Israel

…………
Yep.
The Israelis are not going to pull out of Israel, though–and the Jihadists have made little headway in trying to conquer her.

He’s misreading his tea leaves.
biden capitulated. Ne napped while afghanistan burned. And when the burning was nearly complete, he offered to help the taliban finish the job by handing over weapons, cash and the names of the terror groups’ enemies.
Israel is not going to do that and leave their own land…land that God gave them thousands of years ago and was later stolen by rabid, warmongering, lying sons of demons, a.k.a. mozlums.
The Jews are not going to capitulate to these evil warmongering, followers of a fake prophet, mass-murdering, raper of children, filthy sack of slug refuse, sex-mad slave trading psychopath, evil and lying son of satan the devil.
