A society that loses its moral compass and believes there is nuance and complexity to people beheading babies is not a society that is destined to live. That kind of society cannot withstand any sort of pressure at all; it collapses inward at the first sign of conflict.

CNN and MSNBC interviews showed people asserting there was moral equivalence between Israelis and the Hamas terrorists who slaughtered families in their homes and decapitated babies.

Oh, the sophistication, the nuance. Don't you see the shades of gray?

The media are disgusting. They're truly disgusting. Some of them seek truth. Some of them occasionally stumble upon it even if they're not seeking it. But then you have the motivated actors who are more interested in their own pseudo-sophistication and moral equivalence than anything else.

Terrorism is, by definition, an act of atrocity that involves civilians. If you hide behind a civilian, you are the person responsible for the death of that civilian. And that's what Hamas does. Hamas literally located its military headquarters at the bottom of a hospital.

This is what they are. They locate their headquarters in mosques. They hide weapons caches in churches and mosques so that if Israel has to blow those things up, then they can claim it's some sort of human rights violation.

This is what they do. They understand how the Western press plays this garbage. They understand the Western press pretends there is some sort of moral equivalence between a Hamas terrorist riding into a kibbutz and beheading a child and Israel attempting to minimize civilian casualties on the Gaza Strip and failing because Hamas is hiding behind children.

Hamas is to blame for both sides of those civilian casualties. Hamas is actively encouraging people not to move from these areas. I know this for a fact: Israel has called off uncounted strikes over the last 30 years because there are civilians in the area.

When Israel was bombing Gaza, video showed secondary explosions. Secondary explosions only emerge if there's a weapons cache underneath the buildings Israel hit. The secondary explosions are a result of weapons being hidden beneath the ground, which is what the Palestinian Authority, Hamas, and Islamic Jihad do.

Israel has tried to hand control of the Gaza Strip over to Egypt. They weren’t interested. Israel has tried to hand over control of Palestinian Arab areas in Judea and Samaria to Jordan. Jordan said, “Hell no.”

Ep. 1825 - May God Avenge Their Blood

As more video emerges from the Hamas pogrom, Israel responds; a second front threatens in Lebanon; and the international community remains paralyzed by moral relativism.

LISTEN NOW

America would never stand for anything like the massacre Hamas committed. Imagine that the people who are crossing the southern border right now were all armed to the teeth and were going to random villages killing 30,000 Americans. Do you think the border with Mexico would currently be controlled by no one, or do you think the American military would be there? Do you think the Mexican government would even be functional?

Israel's going to have to do what it has to do and watch as the media — already moral cowards — turn their fire on the people who watched their babies be beheaded by terrorist groups.

To anyone who claims they can't see moral clarity at this point in time, I don't believe you. If you can't draw the distinction between people beheading babies and people attempting to protect babies, you have ulterior motives at play, whether it's your own pseudo-sophistication or whether you have baser and darker ulterior motives.

I know one thing: The West is going to win. And right now, Israel is the emissary of the West against these pieces of human debris.
