Many people are seeing the war between Israel and Hamas as an apocalyptic showdown between good and evil, and there is good reason to see it that way. And as has so often been the case, Donald Trump enunciated what many others were thinking but didn’t dare to say.
Trump said Saturday: “The fight between Israel and Hamas is between civilization and savagery, between good and evil. There is no comparison between a group that worships death and a group that cherishes life. Every single life lost in this conflict is on the shoulders of Hamas, Hamas alone.”
He had abundant reason to make this assessment. The UK Express reported Monday that among the footage that Israel recently released of the Hamas jihad massacres of October 7, there is an audio file of “a Hamas terrorist ringing his mother with one of his victim’s phones, saying: ‘I killed 10 Jews with my own hands. I’m using the dead Jewish woman’s phone to call you now.’” The proud mother responds: “May Allah protect you.”
Now, imagine for a moment that you were the mother or father of a young man who had murdered ten people. What kind of person would your son be if he not only committed these murders, but called you to boast about them? What kind of person would you be if you were proud papa or mama in that situation? What could possibly account for this mindset? And how could anyone think that these savages (because that is what they are) have the moral high ground? Yet it is clear now that all too many people in the West assume that they do. Few understand how deep this love of death really goes.
The young mass murderer was not singular. He was proud because he has been taught to love death. Back in April 2020, a Syrian opposition journalist, Khatib Badla, explained that Muslim Arabs “have a trait that distinguishes us from all the other peoples of the world, which is a love of death. We dream of it, regard it as a source of inspiration and think about it every day. We love death and love the dead. Instead of hoping for longevity, for [a life of] giving and loving, we say, with defeatism… ‘God, [help me] go to battle and reach my grave. This is in addition to the grand slogans we [like to chant], such as: ‘death to America,’ ‘better death than humiliation’ and ‘seek death and you shall be given life [in the next world].’”
There is more. Read the rest here.

As poignant and powerful as anything Robert has ever written!

If you took away antisemitism and the perverse urge to kill Jews Islam would not exist.
If you removed the Islamic command to kill apostates there wouldn’t be any Muslim left!
Have a nice day and be grateful that God has instilled in us a clear sense of the difference between good and evil! Stay alert and stay blessed!

Compare the Jihad sentiment with Patrick Henry’s, “Give me liberty or give me death.”
Jihadis would prefer death to a world where Sharia Law does not rule. In contrast, Patrick Henry’s words reflected the belief of the revolution. Namely, their love of freedom was so great that, for it to be denied, death would be the preferred alternative.

True, it is a legitimate fight of civilized humans & the savages who take cover under religious scripture as claimed by them as a dictate that all non Muslims are to be eliminated.
John Smith says
It should be crystal clear to any decent rational thinking person, that this is a war between good and evil, light and darkness, civilisation or savagery. This is exactly what it is, and Trump knows this.

they don’t ‘love their own death’; the scum called his parents to boast over the deaths of others, the lives of others he took for his false god and fake prophet.
He didn’t run up to an Israeli soldier, fully armed, gun pointing and try to kill him…he murdered poor unarmed civilians. he lusted to murder.
There are several kinds of Love….love of God, love of family, love of friends, love of another in a romantic way, and love based on the principle of respect for life. (“Love your neighbor as you so love yourself” is this last one)
mozlums don’t love. mozlums lust and mozlums hate.
this scum was glad to still be alive and calling his parents to boast of the many lives he had taken.

Not just this Israel versus hamas fight but, in my opinion, the fight against totally barbaric and evil islam is a fight between civilisation and savagery. When you find out the foul content of islam’s basic book, the Koran, with those calls for Muslims to murder non-Muslims when the chance arises, along with it being fine to rape non-Muslim women and girls, and so on, which is totally the opposite of the loving your neighbour you get in other religions, you realise that islam is evil and totally immoral. As for this stuff about Muslims wanting death, I think that they just want to be free to kill and rape other people with impunity, but not die themselves. Once the savages are dead, they can’t kill or rape any more people. I see islam as being something devised by a bunch of savage serial killers. That the foul ideology is still poisoning the human race in 2023 sickens me. Just yesterday, as I often do, i walked past one of those totally covered up Muslim women and I thought, as I always do, it is 2023 and look at this primitive shit. Absolutely ridiculous. islam is a load of primitive, savage garbage in endless ways and it creates huge numbers of monsters like these hamas scum of the earth. Without a doubt, if islam was not part of the human race, the human race would be far more civilised.

May those who love death get their wish granted soon, without taking anyone else with them
