If you can’t handle the consequences, don’t start a war.
If you don’t want your cities turned to rubble, don’t launch attacks. War is cruel and unforgiving—those who choose violence must be prepared to face its inevitable cost.
What’s happening in Gaza is the direct result of the war Hamas initiated on October 7th. That day marked one of the most horrific assaults in modern history—yet instead of outrage, there were celebrations throughout Gaza. Streets filled with cheers, fireworks, and praise for brutality. Not a single major voice from within Gaza publicly condemned the attacks. The silence was deafening—and revealing.
Now, many of those who cheered are mourning. But actions have consequences. You cannot demand immunity after provoking war. When you support or excuse violence, you can’t expect safety in return.
Let this be a lesson: never threaten Israel again.
If Palestinians want peace, they must choose peace. Live peacefully, and others will live in peace alongside you. But as long as terror and destruction are chosen, war will follow. That’s not injustice—it’s reality.

"Indeed the struggle is about ideology, not about facts, Who knows what facts are? We try to convince as many people as we can that our interpretation of the facts is the correct one, and we do it because of ideological reasons, not because we are truthse
eekers." IlanPappe Le Soir, Nov. 29, 1999
"IlanPappe, a history lecturer at the University of Haifa, freely admits that, in his view, facts are irrelevant when it comes to the history of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. "Indeed the struggle is about ideology, not about facts, Who knows what facts are? We try to convince as many people as we can that our interpretation of the facts is the correct one, and we do it because of ideological reasons, not because we are truthseekers," Pappe said in an interview with the French newspaper Le Soir, Nov. 29, 1999
"My bias is apparent despite the desire of my peers that I stick to facts and the "truth" when reconstructing past realities. I view any such construction as vain and presumptuous." - IlanPappe (A History of Modern Palestine) p. 11
IlanPappe is an ex-Israeli, ex-historian. This guy was expelled from his Israeli university post after he was found to be fabricating historical data. Pappe's books have been critiqued by many since his evidence is based on half-truths, falsified facts a and wishful thinking. He makes a living by giving talks to both left-wing groups and Islamic organizations.
