Netanyahu: “No Ceasefire” as Troops Ready for Ground Invasion

IDF’s incursion into Gaza to defeat Hamas terrorists and save hostages is imminent, and President Biden already seems to be putting caveats and limitations on just how far his support for Israel will go. Amid the conflict in the Middle East, Iran and Saudi Arabia are also making headlines. Iran warned Israel not to enter Gaza, and Saudi Arabia has pulled out of peace talks with Israel.

In the meantime, Benjamin Netanyahu has pledged his support behind his troops as the “fateful hour” to enter Gaza arrives. Israel won’t agree to a ceasefire.

The Daily Mail reports:

A week after the bloodbath that shocked the world, Benjamin Netanyahu said the nation was approaching a “fateful hour.” . . .

Mr Netanyahu said preparations were being made around the clock to launch the ground offensive, with nearly 400,000 soldiers gearing up for battle in Gaza.

He pledged: “They are ready to take action to defeat the bloodthirsty monsters who have risen against us to destroy us. Hamas thought that we would come apart – we will demolish Hamas.”

Scores of Israeli soldiers were yesterday photographed with arms draped over each other’s shoulders in a “band of brothers” moment as they prepared near Ashkelon, by the Gaza border.

As Israel continues to defend itself and root out Hamas terrorists, the international community and mainstream media display more and more anti-Israel sentiment. These voices don’t understand how Hamas targets schools, hospitals, and places of worship to kill innocent people.

In defending itself militarily, Israel has an entirely different approach and works to eradicate evil – the IDF doesn’t target innocent civilians like Hamas terrorists do. Israel can’t just ignore the overt barbarism of Hamas and allow it to continue.

Last week, President Biden initially offered strong support for Israel, but now the Administration is starting to waver in its support. Biden just said it would “be a big mistake” for Israel to start occupying Gaza because Hamas doesn’t represent all Palestinian civilians.

Yet Biden’s latest remarks are a fundamental misrepresentation of what’s happening right now in Gaza. Israel gave the warning to evacuate Gaza to protect as many innocent civilians as possible. Meanwhile, Hamas terrorists are using Palestinians as human shields to protect themselves and block civilians from exiting.

Unfortunately, the mainstream media and international community aren’t the only ones attacking Israel – Ivy League campuses are doing the same. Last week, we told you about the awful demonstrations on Harvard’s campus, and recently, a Columbia University professor lauded the Hamas attack as “awesome.”

ACLJ Senior Counsel for International and Government Affairs Jeff Ballabon joined the broadcast to explain the antisemitic attacks taking place on U.S. college campuses:

Columbia has a huge Jewish population . . . [yet] was rated as one of the most antisemitic universities in America. . . . The antisemitism is grotesque, and it’s not just incitement, but it leads to and has led to physical violence against Jewish students. The Jewish students are being urged to not wear yarmulkes . . .  to hide the fact that they’re Jewish. There’s an ongoing campaign of terrorizing Jewish faculty and students in academia. . . . We live in a world in America where people are canceled in universities and thrown out because they read a novel that has a word that offends people, and yet it is open season on Jews.

Such vocal support of Hamas terrorists who murdered more than 1,000 Israelis is shocking. A student-led petition has been started against this Columbia professor to remove him from his post, and we hope it’s successful. Regardless, the professor’s antisemitic rhetoric is a sad commentary on the state of academia in America.

The U.N. is starting to turn its back on Israel again, refusing to label Hamas as a terrorist group. We will keep demanding that the international community defend Israel. We will keep fighting against the international community’s anti-Israel propaganda – just as we always do.

To help defend Israel, we are sending letters to world leaders demanding support for Israel. Last week, we sent letters to the U.N. Secretary-General, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, the Council of Europe, INTERPOL, and the U.N. Commission of Inquiry.

We will always have Israel’s back. Let Israel know that you have her back too. Sign on to our letter of support to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu through our brand-new petition showing your support for Israel during this tumultuous time. And keep praying for Israel.
