A round-up of my most recent posts on “X” (marks the spot!)
Oct 16, 2023
By Phyllis Chesler, @Phyllischesler on X (Twitter)
Who knew? That so many people live on X. Makes sense. We are not giving people too much to read—and we are indulging ourselves in dashing off passionate, perhaps even important thoughts, but not in deeply considered analyses. I have been on duty, indeed on the front lines as a cognitive warrior. Woulda volunteered for the IDF but I’d only be a liability, not an asset. I’ve been writing up my usual storm since 9/11 and linked to my articles at X. However, on October 9th, I began something of a new career—composing my thoughts at X. So—here’s what’s been on my mind since October 9th, 2023.
As Israel built up its military might, for 50 years, the Islamist Jew haters spent their time and money indoctrinating the entire world to believe a series of Big Lies against Jews. Now, it is obvious: Jews are encircled, surrounded by those who celebrate Jewish torture-murder as justified. Just watch the cheering crowds literally around the world including all across America. In the past, such Big Lies have always led to pogroms and then to a genocide; always, always such false allegations justified contempt and hatred for Jews. No one—and I mean no one in a position of power—wanted to focus on the cognitive war. On how important it really is. And now, here we are. How do we walk this back, turn it around?

Here’s a first-ever report about the Israeli hostages, compiled by the Red Cross. See who the hostages are and what terrible conditions they face and are in.

Where are all the humanitarian voices when it comes to rescuing the Israeli hostages? Are they getting food, water, shelter—or are they being tortured, raped, starved? Where are all the high level international negotiators who are concerned, rightly, with the care, feeding, and rescue of Gazan civilians—when it comes to Israeli hostages? Which government officials are offering money in exchange for their safe exit? Where are the human rights leaders in terms of offering themselves in their place?

Qatar could stop it all by telling Hamas they will cut off all funding until or unless they release the Israeli hostages. Egypt could stop it as well by opening the Rafah crossing, setting up a tent city, rescuing, sheltering, feeding, watering, and vetting the Gazans in flight. Why are the global demonstrations all demonizing Israel, making demands only on Israel, but not on the Arab world?

Would Manhattan allow a Hamas-like, ISIS-like, Al-Qaeda-like entity to exist in the Bronx? A terrorist group that torments, indoctrinates, and uses its own people as human shields, a group that periodically attacks civilians in Manhattan? Would New York City listen to all those voices that insist that Manhattan’s only response must be restrained and carefully “proportionate”? If not, why do so many people think Israel must continue to live right next door to Hamas’s Jew-hating, Islamist Gaza?

Why isn’t the Arab and Muslim world offering to air-lift out Gazan Arab civilians? Are they afraid that they’ll be bringing Islamist terrorists to their countries? Do they fear or hate Gazan Arabs? If so, why? Or, do they lack compassion for their brethren? Why aren’t the EU countries offering to rescue Gazan Arab civilians? Why is only Israel expected to do this, to live with constant terrorist attacks?

There are no moral equivalencies. Arab Palestinian prisoners with blood on their hands are not equal or equivalent to Israeli civilians, including babies and toddlers. Committing a pogrom-like and ISIS-like terrorist atrocity on innocent civilians is not equal or equivalent to attempting to end the reign of just such evil so that it can never happen again. One must stop looking at who is more or less powerful and focus on who is committing crimes against humanity and who is not.
In my view, Israel cannot stop its military action, no matter the cost, not until Hamas is leveled, Hamas operatives and their indoctrinated supporters are all eliminated. America has to back Israel in all ways until that is accomplished. We know that both Iran and Qatar are behind both Hamas and Hezbollah. What does NATO and the United States plan to do about these two nation states that are state sponsors of terror that will and has already reached far beyond Israel-only borders?

The Numbers Game
Terrorists who torture and murder civilians is not the same as Israel fighting back. There is no moral equivalence in comparing the numbers of the dead. Demand that Egypt and other Arab countries take civilian Gazans out. The first to flee will be Hamas fiends.

The same voices that are now calling for Israel to stop were totally silent as Hamas, laughing, tortured and murdered civilians in Israel and video-ed their atrocities. The “humanitarian” corridor being demanded consists of Hamas returning every single Israeli hostage.

Free Gazans From Hamas
The Israeli govt must not listen to those who demand they stop. Hamas has got to be totally destroyed. If Gazan civilians die—that’s on Hamas which has entrenched itself in mosques, hospitals, schools, and residential buildings. Free Gazans from Hamas!

Israel faces depraved demons backed by Iran. Hamas launched a war ten times greater than 9/11, threatens to execute each Israeli captive, live on TV. Remember ISIS? Daniel Pearl? Anyone: Time to end Iran’s nuclear capability?
