Thank you for writing this excellent and clear-eyed summation of the atrocity that has occurred against Israel, and will occur against America, too, just as this administration of blackguards plans.
Excellent analysis Dr. M. Yes, people or institutions that support the attack are not simply wrong or misguided, they are dangerous. Bravo to you for saying it. I have contempt for them because of their complicity. One small disagreement/correction—we didn’t vote in this government. They stole the election, just as they’ve been stealing elections at many levels for years now. It’s all part of the plan. God bless you for your clarity and courage.
I was referring to the dangerous fools who did vote for the regime, but yes, the election overall was a fraud. You understood my larger point, though, which is that the narcissism of the spoiled foolish American has real consequences. We must call it out for what it is--enabling evil.
He brings up excellent questions about the cause of the IDF failure to detect the attack and respond to it quickly. Without jumping to a truly cynical and conspiratorial position that the Israeli government orchestrated the attack (ridiculous), I do agree that an investigation much occur to discover why this was allowed to happen. Perhaps there are individuals in the government or the IDF that have been compromised. I'm certain that has happened here in the US, which is disturbing and should alarm us all.
There should be no support of evil, period. And yes, what happened in Israel is manifest evil. I am curious, though, do you feel that Israel is innocent of any evil acts toward the Palestinians since Israel was made a "state" in 1948? It seems that evil has presented itself on both sides of this divide. Curious to know your thoughts on this. Evil is evil, and yes, it is running rampant. I take no sides other than the side of humanity (at least what humanity used to be.)
Why must one be entirely free of sin to occupy a moral high ground? Was the US not acting morally by crushing Hitler in WW II? The atrocities committed by Islamists rival--perhaps exceed--those of the Nazis, yet people question the morality of eliminating Islamic evil by any means necessary, until a purity test can be passed. Unless we can establish a moral compass and determine who is the arsonist and who is the firefighter...who is the criminal and who is the policeman...we will lose this war against darkness and evil that threatens to overtake our planet.
I always marvel at the "coexist" bumper stickers made up of the symbols of all the world's major religions. The only obstacle to co-existence comes from the crescent.
Very well put my friend. I do see what you are saying.
Again, I am curious, do you feel the struggle here is between Islam and the Israeli people...and not between the Palestinian people and the Israeli people? So the evils committed by Israel toward Palestine were committed in defense of the evils of Islam? Clearly Hamas and Hezbollah are Islamic radicals, do you feel all the people of Gaza are responsible for the actions of these Islamic groups? I am not trying to start an argument, I truly want to understand. I do not know that much about the details of these issues...trying to learn.

As always Dr. McDonald, you hit the head on the nail. I'm sharing your article with as many people as possible. It feels so hopeless....
On one level, it is, but one another level it makes it clear what needs to be done.
I’m curious as to what you think about Charlie Kirk’s thoughts are on this matter. Start watching at 26:26

So very true. More people are waking up to so many truths. I hope to get my book published one day soon.

All that one needs to know about the Arab-Israeli conflict can be found in this five-minute video: https://www.prageru.com/video/the-middle-east-problem. "One side wants the other dead."
Palestinians have always chosen terrorism over peace. That is why no solution to this problem can ever be found.
