Well, Secretary Kerry: yes; yes it is. Prior to the President's toady flying to the Gaza war zone intending to stifle Israel's defensive efforts against the escalating Hamas invasion - thousands of missiles weekly launched at population centers and hundreds of miles of invasion tunnels fashioned by years of engineering mastery, so that many include electricity, sewage disposal and rail car tracks - I predicted that Obama's choice of sides would prove either his love of or hatred for Israel.
Well, now America and the entire world has a very clear confirmation - it's Hamas baby. Indisputable proof is found in the very terms of the cease fire proposal that Mr. Kerry announced in Tel Aviv on Thursday - all Israeli efforts to locate and dismantle the Hamas invasion tunnels must immediately cease, as identically, all efforts to locate and disarm the Hamas missiles must cease as well.
Fully anticipating that Israel would object to this cessation of the IDF's existential program to disable the Hamas invasion capabilities, Kerry acknowledged that as in the three prior Gaza conflicts - 2006, 2008 and 2012 - a temporary end to armed hostilities would accomplish little more than providing Hamas time and sanctuary "to live, resupply and fight better another day".
Accordingly, the Honorable Secretary proclaimed that a new post-Vietnam strategic paradigm was needed in Gaza to break this cycle of increasingly deadly violence. Kerry announced that only when he could go to Gaza City and see "happy faces" would these Palestinians turn away from their murderous attacks and live in harmony with their then friendly neighbor, Israel. Kerry explained that in order to turn these Arab frowns into joyous smiles, Israel needed to fairly address the "legitimate grievances" of the Palestinians. He is correct of course, a contented populous is rarely hell bent of war making, thereby upsetting the peaceful equilibrium of daily life devoted to building a better life for it's citizens. Building things like schools, hospitals and youth recreational centers takes a lot of concrete and master engineers not otherwise occupied full time in construction of millions of dollars of invasion infrastructure.
So, what are the grievance(s) Israel must satisfy to make Kerry's ardent wish for peace in our time come true? Indisputably, Hamas has but one grievance - a single stated reason for its existence as memorialized in this terror organization's Founding Charter - Israel as a nation must die. Granted, some Jews might be allowed to live in the new nation of triumphal, conquering Palestine - as slaves upon conversion to Islam. Kerry should know that appeasement of pure evil is useless, that is unless his policy preferences coincide more closely with this terror entity than with our one true ally.
Again, I am speechless.
