GAZA -- TRUTHS BEHIND ALL THE LIES

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON

MEDIA | MARCH 29, 2024

_OCCUPIED GAZA_. Prior to October 7, there were roughly two million
Arab citizens of Israel but no Jewish citizens in Gaza. Gazans in 2006
voted in Hamas to rule them. It summarily executed its Palestinian
Authority rivals. Hamas canceled all future scheduled elections. It
established a dictatorship and diverted hundreds of billions of
dollars in international aid to build a vast underground labyrinth of
military installations.

_COLLATERAL DAMAGE._ Hamas began the war by deliberately targeting
civilians. It massacred them on October 7 when it invaded Israel
during a time of peace and holidays. It sent more than 7,000 rockets
into Israeli cities for the sole purpose of killing noncombatants. It
has no vocabulary for the collateral damage of Israeli civilians since
it believes any Jewish death under any circumstances is cause for
celebration.

Hamas places its terrorist centers beneath and inside hospitals,
schools, and mosques. Why? Israel is assumed to have more reservations
about collaterally hitting Gaza civilians than Hamas does exposing
them as human shields.

_DISPROPORTIONATE._ We are told Israel wrongly uses disproportionate
force to retaliate in Gaza. But it does so because no nation can win a
war without disproportionate violence that hurts the enemy more than
it is hurt by the enemy.

The U.S. incinerated German and Japanese cities with disproportionate
force to end a war both Axis powers started. The American military in
Iraq nearly leveled Fallujah and Mosul by disproportional force to
root out Islamic gunmen hiding among innocents. Hamas has objections
to disproportionate violence -- but only when it is achieved by Israel
and not Hamas.

_TWO-STATE SOLUTION._ Prior to October 7, there was a de facto
three-state solution, given that Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza were
all separate states ruled by their own governments, two of which were
illegitimate without scheduled elections.

It was not Israel, but the people of Gaza and the West Bank who
institutionalized the "from river to the sea" agenda of destroying its
neighbor.

Israel would have been content to live next to an autonomous Arab Gaza
and West Bank that did not seek to destroy Israel in their
multigenerational efforts to form their own "one-state solution."

_CEASEFIRE._ The so-called international community is demanding Israel
agree to a "ceasefire." But there was already a ceasefire prior to
October 7. Hamas broke it by massacring 1,200 Jews and taking over 250
hostages.

Hamas violated that peace because it thought it could gain leverage
over Israel by murdering Jews.

Hamas now demands another ceasefire because it thinks it is no longer
able to murder more unarmed Jews. Instead, it now fears that Israel
will destroy Hamas in the way Hamas sought but failed to destroy
Israel.

Did Hamas call for a cease-fire after the first 500 Jews it massacred
on October 7?

_RAMADAN_. President Joe Biden believes that the Muslim religious
holiday of Ramadan requires Israel to agree to a ceasefire.

But did either Hamas or any other Arab military ever respect Jewish --
or even its own -- religious holidays?

The October 7 massacre was timed to catch Israelis unaware while
celebrating the Jewish religious holidays of Simchat Torah, Shemini
Torah, and Shemini Atzeret on Shabbat.

Moreover, Hamas's surprise attack was deliberately timed to
commemorate the earlier sneak Arab attack on Israel some 50 years
earlier.

On October 6, 1973, the Israelis were the target of a surprise attack
when celebrating the religious holiday of Yom Kippur. Arab armies also
assumed they would achieve greater surprise when attacking during
their own religious holiday of Ramadan.

So, Arab militaries fight opportunistically both during Jewish and
their own Islamic holidays. Egyptians and Syrians still boast of their
1973 surprise attack on Israel as the "Ramadan War."

Only Westerners, not Arabs, believe there should be no war during
Ramadan.

_CIVILIAN CASUALTIES._ Israel risks the lives of its soldiers to
prevent civilian deaths. Hamas risks the lives of its civilians to
prevent terrorists' deaths. Israel considers it a failure, and Hamas
considers it globally advantageous when more civilians die than its
soldiers.

_FOREIGN AID._ The Biden administration threatens to cut off or
slow-walk aid to Israel if it continues to retaliate against Hamas
even though they started the war. So the administration promises to
give more aid to Gaza after the October 7 Hamas massacres than it gave
to Gaza before Hamas's attack.

_PRISONERS._ The international community that favors Hamas,
nevertheless, knows it would be safer to be a prisoner of Israel than
of Hamas. It knows women are not going to be raped in custody by
Israelis but are by Hamas. And the unarmed are more likely to be
mutilated and decapitated by Hamas than Israelis.

IS THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY MORE LIKELY TO CHARGE ISRAEL THAN HAMAS
FOR WAR CRIMES BECAUSE THE JEWISH STATE SEEKS TO AVOID CIVILIAN DEATHS
THAT HAMAS FINDS USEFUL?
