Never Again.

Never Again.

As of this writing, Hamas claims to be holding about 100 hostages - including children - and is threatening to kill them on live TV. 

Complete with bloodcurdling audio.

This repulsive barbarism is reminiscent of the gruesome 2002 execution of Daniel Pearl, the Wall Street Journal reporter who was beheaded on tape by terrorists in Pakistan.

What we are witnessing is a fanatical cult that mistakenly believes that Israel and the rest of the civilized world will be so sickened by the kidnapping and the slaughter of innocents that they will abandon retaliation and come to the bargaining table.

This proves that Hamas is not only savage and primitive, but they don’t know their enemy. At all.

It is clear that Hamas is trying to finish what Adolph Hitler began about 90 years ago: The complete genocide of the Jewish people. After the defeat of Germany and the establishment of the Jewish state Jews declared “Never again.”

And they meant it.

All decent, civilized people must join Israelis in a chorus of those two words now. We cannot stand by or send any more “humanitarian” aid to these merchants of death and the countries that support them.

We should not buy their oil or out of some misplaced compassion make sure they have food and medicine. In fact, we should enforce ruthless embargoes, sanctions and boycotts to starve and inflict misery on the countries that help Hamas.

Here at home we need to let these terrorists know we are reversing our boneheaded policies of appeasement.

Joe Biden must literally get out of bed - he called a lid on activities yesterday at 11:30 a.m. and on Sunday as Americans were being murdered in Israel he and Dr. Jill were hosting a party at the White House - and get to work.

If Biden doesn’t have the stamina to stay focused for an entire work day, he needs to resign. These are perilous times.

Biden’s ghost Tweetwriter needs to stop yapping about junk fees and student loans. These asinine issues are not the diversion the Biden camp thinks they are. They simply make the president appear distracted and foolish.

Biden needs to condemn the anti-semites in his party who are calling for a ceasefire. He needs to do it with the same disgust he regularly uses to mock MAGA Republicans. He needs to do it today.

Biden should direct the FBI to stop investigating disgruntled parents at school board meetings and start looking for terrorist sleeper cells - the real and present danger to our country. He needs to slam the door on our southern border and start deporting the illegal aliens - especially the men - that have invaded our country in the past three years. He also needs to reverse his energy policies that have made us dependent on foreign oil and open America for drilling.

The president also needs to retrieve whatever is left of the $6 billion in ransom money that he paid to Iran that is supposedly being held in a Qatar bank and redirect it to Israel. 

Most of all, he needs to warn Hamas that if they harm the Americans they have captured, there will be hell to pay.

It’s imperative that the American president tells the world that we understand what the Jewish people mean when they say “Never Again!”

We say it with them: Never again.
