Psalm 10 7
When our borders were breached by Hamas and our homes were burned to the ground and entire families killed, you took to the streets partying and waving the flags of our murderers and chanted for our genocide.
When our children were incinerated alive in ovens in front of their parents, you demanded to see the images of the beheaded babies.
When our women were brutally raped and mutilated, you denied the atrocities and told us to show you proof, after we stood side-by-side with sexual assault survivors the world over.
When our women and children and men were taken hostage and kidnapped into Gaza, you ripped down their posters and dehumanized them.
When our army sought to enter Rafah to rescue hostages who were being kept and starved underground, you screamed "ALL EYES ON RAFAH!" to apply international pressure against our rescue operations.
When those same hostages in Rafah were executed in the tunnels underground you turned the other cheek, and said they deserved it.
When Israel sent hundreds of trucks of aid into Gaza every day, you continued to spread falsehoods that Israel was to blame for any claims of starvation in the Gaza Strip, and not Hamas who stole the aid.
When it was discovered that the United Nations under UNRWA had participated in the atrocities of October 7, you called for more funding to be sent under the guise of humanitarianism knowing it would be intercepted by terrorists.
When it was reported that the war in Gaza has the lowest ratio of militant to civilian deaths in the history of urban warfare, you continued to parrot Hamas propaganda, and laud the international media organizations and the Qatari-funded Al Jazeera who reverse-engineered a charge of genocide against Israel for simply defending ourselves.
When Hezbollah fired thousands of rockets into Israel since October 7, expelling 90,000 civilians from their homes, destroying buildings and murdering 12 Druze children playing soccer on a Saturday afternoon, you were still crying about Al Shifa hospital in Gaza; a hospital that Israel never in fact bombed.
When the Iron Dome saved millions of lives the night that the Islamic Republic of Iran sent hundreds of ballistic missiles to Israel in both April and October, you shed tears over the United States' continued aid in funding the most sophisticated defense system in the world.
When the Mossad executed the most precise targeted attack in military history against a terror network embedded within a civilian society in Lebanon with minimal damage to innocents and thousands of terrorist casualties, you screamed that it was an act of "Jewish terrorism".
When the IDF annihilated more terrorists on the United States watchlist in a matter of weeks than America had managed in 20 years, you stood firmly with the Iranian proxy terror groups, while oppressed civilians all over Lebanon, Syria and Iran cried tears of celebrations and hope that Israel would help liberate them from their tyrannical regimes.
We know you by your actions. In every generation you rise up to destroy us, and you fail. Because the people of Israel live.
It is not the right side of history. It is the only side of history.
