Seems like the Diaspora just doesn't see eye to eye when others find themselves in the midst of a war, a Declared War to let let world know they are being attacked and it's WAR! They find, in their own safe quarters, that it must be controversial because they sure don't know why Jews are killing children, yes, that's what they see on their TV screens and come to only one conclusion.
David Daniel "Mickey" Marcus was a United States Army colonel, later Israel's first general, who was a principal architect of the U.S. military's World War II civil-affairs policies, including the organization of the war-crimes trials in Germany and in Japan. David Daniel Mickey Marcus, a tough Brooklyn street kid, rose by virtue of his courage and intelligence to help save in 1948 and become its first general since . After a distinguished career in military and public service to the , the 46-year-old Marcus wrote his name forever in the annals of .
Born to immigrant parents in 1902, Marcus grew up in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn where, to defend himself against neighborhood toughs, he learned to box. His high school athletic and academic record won him admission to West Point in 1920, from which he graduated with impressive scores. After completing his required service, Marcus went to law school and spent most of the 1930s as a Federal attorney in , helping bring Lucky Luciano to justice. As a reward, Mayor LaGuardia named Marcus Commissioner of Corrections for New York City.
In 1947, Marcus returned to civilian life. A few months later, the authorized the and the eventual creation of a Jewish state. Within days, asked Marcus to recruit an American officer to serve as military advisor to . Failing in his attempts to recruit one of his friends, Marcus decided to volunteer himself. The U.S. War Department granted Marcus, who was a reservist, permission to accept the offer, provided Marcus not use his own name or rank and disguise his military record. This should explain to many how long Israelis have been fighting terrorists.
I remember, being 91,actually seeing Palestinians staging such situations on purpose to get the raves on TV against the Jews. They're as good at acting as many of us, just never had the inclination, I guess, to do something with it. I've also seen children in their father's grip, learn to shoot and the ISIS group even having their children in on the beheading.
This "War" started in 1920 with attacks on Jewish homes with Husseini, the Sherif of Jerusalem. It grew with Arafat taking the stage "Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement launched its first attacks against Israel in 1965, but he became a prominent figure in armed Palestinian resistance following the 1967 Six-Day War, which led to intensified guerrilla operations against Israel. Arafat supported the creation of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in 1964, which aimed to achieve a Palestinian state through armed struggle."
By then, Jews were used to being attacked in Israel, and that's bad when it has to be common in one's daily life, like hearing the alarms to get into a bomb shelter, and you have but 2 minutes. You accept it. It's the new norm.
Hamas came along in 1987 as an offshoot of the Palestinian Muslim Brotherhood, officially founded by Sheikh Ahmed Yassin and his aide Abdul Aziz al-Rantissi. Its formation occurred at the start of the first Palestinian intifada (uprising) against Israel's "occupation". Now the Muslim Brotherhood isn't even accepted in Egypt, let alone Israel. It's the tough arm of the PLO. They won the election their people had, their first experience, by the way. It was in 1989 that they first attacked 1989: Hamas carried out its first significant attacks, which included the abduction and killing of two Israeli soldiers.

The large-scale bombings from Hamas hitting Israel began on October 7, 2023, when Hamas launched a surprise attack on southern Israel. The attack involved thousands of rockets and ground forces, killing approximately 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages, which in turn triggered a massive Israeli military offensive in Gaza.
The hostages were taken in the ground attack when their attackers and their citizens came in a frenzy attacking Jews ona Holiday of Succot, the last day of it, when they were also involved in a dancing music festival from Europe, and wereenjoying their youth and life itself. Hamas held a surprise attack on Jews.
You in the Diaspora would scream if one rocket was shot into your neighborhood and you would demand immediate action from your army.
WAR IS HELL. Everyone knows that phrase. WWI certainly was, and so was WWII. This wasn't a world war but a warof religion, actually since it was this terror group of Muslimswho wouldn't accept Jews returning legally to their ancient land of Israel. Have their ever been other wars in the worldfought over religion? Well, in India, there were the Muslimsand the Hindus with the Muslims being moved out and they formed Pakistan.
Fighting between Muslims and Hindus in India has occurred for centuries, with roots dating back to the 7th and 8th centuries CE when Islam was first introduced to the region. The conflict has continued intermittently throughout history, with notable periods of intensified violence, including the 1947 partition and subsequent events in the 20th century.
Other major religiously motivated wars include the Crusades (1096–1291), the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) in Europe, and the French Wars of Religion (1562–1598). Other examples include the Greek War of Independence and the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980's, though the religious component of the latter is debated.
Not once did Israel do a thing except defend themselves against attacks.
Hamas, who knew of Israel's reputation of being a defender of life, did rotten things like hide their ammunition in their homes,schools, mosques, hospitals, etc, and since that was working,they also hid behind their own people in these very places for workable attacking places. Israel warned the people to get out of the wayusing every form of systems possible, leaflets, bullhorns. As part of its efforts to minimize civilian casualties in Gaza, the IDF makes phone calls and sends text messages to civilians residing in buildings designated for attack. In a video, you can hear a recording of an IDF soldier calling a Gazan to warn him of an impending airstrike in his vicinity.
If they ignored the warnings, they were in the path of attack and were killed. In Hamas' eyes, this only helped their cause, and indeed, they have turned the world against Israel, for they all wear blinders.
I can only conclude that those that are against Israel by not understanding why they are fighting because they are anti-Semitic, for what they would be backing is the destruction again of 6 million Jews and their ancient country that they had been working on since 1881 to restore and even add to its beauty and its use being the land they were told to live in by G-d, the country of protection for them, the land welcoming them for a change. There's no turning the other cheek here, Hamas is bent on total destruction.
