Fighting those opposed to peace
By Tom Mountain - Thursday July 5 2007

Today the Gaza Hamas terrorists are armed with more and better weapons than
they were in 1970, when the PLO ran the territory. And theyre a lot more
fanatical. The only positive side to battling the PLO was that they actually
knew when they were defeated, and tended to surrender rather than be gunned
down by the IDF. But Hamas is like the Japanese kamikaze, fanatical to the
point where theyll kill themselves and any Jew, soldier or civilian that they
can get their hands on.
If Israel is serious about defeating Hamas, it will have to kill Hamas. Every
last one of them. This sounds draconian, but its the only way. Unless, of
course, by some miraculous change of heart, Hamas decides to stop killing
Jews. And this will never happen.
This means that the IDF will have to re-conquer Gaza, street by street, house
by house, until every last Hamas terrorist is either killed or captured.
Theyll have to duplicate what the Americans did on Iwo Jima  hunt them down
and snuff them out. No matter how long it takes or how many IDF casualties
happen as a result. Hundreds, if not thousands, of Hamas terrorists must be
killed. If they are not killed they will continue to kill Jews.
The Hamas war against the Jews, temporarily sidelined while they tighten their
grip on Gaza, will continue after theyve defeated their political rivals. And
just as in 1934 when the SS eliminated the SA, thus enabling the Nazis to
consolidate their power, Hamas will resume its war against the Jewish State
after theyve liquidated the PLO.
Hamas will continue to attack Israel until every last Jew is either killed or
driven into exile. This is an integral part of their religion. Their brand of
Islam dictates that it is noble to kill Jews, and ideally, to kill themselves
in the process. Hamas terrorists believe that the ultimate goal in life is to
die a martyr, which means to die murdering as many Jews as possible. This
brand of martyrdom is the very purpose of their existence.
Hamas will not negotiate with Israel. Hamas will never surrender to Israel.
They are sworn to the destruction of Israel and the death of every Jew within
Israel. They would rather die than make peace with the Jewish State. Their
fight with Israel is a fight to the death. They will kill every Jew from the
river to the sea (Palestine will be free), or die trying.
So they need to die at the hands of the Jewish State. For Israel, its simply
a matter of kill, or be killed.
There really is no other choice. Sometime after theyve wiped out the PLO in
Gaza and consolidated their power, Israel must destroy Hamas. This means that
all of the Hamas terrorists need to be killed, or at least captured. When this
happens, when Israel finally chooses to admit that a state of total war exists
with Hamas, then and only then will the process of eliminating Hamas begin.
In World War II few Americans would have thought that Japan was redeemable,
that peace between the two people would ever be possible, but the American
political and military leaders at the time were determined to capture or kill
the Japanese leadership and force their armies to surrender or die. This is
how wars with a fanatical enemy are won.
Only after the Japanese people witnessed the destruction of their country, the
disastrous leadership of their political and military elite, and the folly of
their sacred kamikaze culture, did they learn to change. And only after they
were nearly wiped off the map, did the Japanese start to rebuild their
country.
And only when the majority of Hamas terrorists are killed, will the rest of
Gaza be able to at least begin the path to civilization. When the Hamas
terrorists are dead, their children, like the Japanese children of World War
II, may no longer see killing themselves and others as their main purpose in
life. A generation of children committed to something other than a cult of
death could rise as a result.
But this can only happen if Israel has the national will to defeat Hamas, once
and for all. And that means killing Hamas, once and for all.
What remains is for a strong and decisive Israeli leader, like Moshe Dayan in
1971, to order his generals, You can start.
