Why would anyone trust the agreement of savage terrorists?

As Israel remains braced for an attack on multiple fronts, at any moment, a situation which has existed for the last couple of weeks – ever since top-ranking Hezbollah and Hamas leaders were assassinated, why would anyone feel confident enough to take the word of terrorist organizations when they say that they will not attack if a deal can be reached?

How naïve does one have to be in order to put aside the savage deeds of what took place on October 7th, a day which gave real context to the scripture of Jeremiah 17:9 – “The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately wicked; who can understand it?”

Nonetheless, the present U.S. administration seems to place their trust in what they believe to be the credible and sincere promise made by a murderous regime, which is dedicated to the destruction of the State of Israel. They evidence this faith by saying, “Iran could hold back on attack if Gaza deal is reached.”

Displaying the greatest naivete known to man, “Joe Biden told reporters in New Orleans on Tuesday, that it is his expectation that Iran could skip a retaliatory strike on Israel if a Gaza ceasefire deal is reached.”

While he may believe this to be true, does he also believe that if such a deal were to materialize, another Iranian justification to attack Israel would not emerge a few months from now? And if he does, is this merely a “kick the can down the road” strategy, intended to delay an attack for as long as possible?

Because it remains clear that the shared goal of mullah-controlled Iran, Hezbollah-run Lebanon, Houthi-influenced Yemen, Iranian-proxy Syria and the Hamas government of Gaza are all transfixed and wholly devoted to taking out Israel from the place she calls home, by transferring her into the waters of the Mediterranean. Nothing short of that outcome will satisfy these terror entities who will then happily move on to their next victims.

But as once coined by the renowned Phineas Taylor Barnum of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, “There’s a sucker born every minute.” And no one seems more poised than the U.S. to believe the whopping lies of dishonest, cruel and heartless men who would deceive their own mothers and sell them out for whatever evil goals they hope to achieve.  Such individuals are bereft of any conscience, or moral compass, unable to feel guilt, remorse or empathy because theirs is an agenda-driven course that slows down for no one who gets in their way.

Somehow, though, this particular profile has eluded the U.S. government or they, themselves are nothing more than willing participants in a corrupt and nefarious end game that hopes to realize its highest objective of wiping out the Jewish people.  Nothing else can possibly explain the inclination to comply and eagerly support the obviously flawed so-called agreements forged by evildoers.

Take Iran, who took to X just two nights ago, sadistically posting an hourglass with the time of 2:00 a.m. appearing next to it. The intent was to frighten everyone into believing that, at that particular hour, they would attack Israel. Or think about what Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has stated, that “no place in Israel would be spared from the group’s weapons in case of a full-blown war – stating that they will fight with no rules and no ceilings.”

Are either of these statements, made by murderous individuals or regimes, the reliable and trustworthy word, which should be seen as dependable and respected?  Of course, any sane and right-thinking person would say no. So then how is it that the world’s superpower is so eager to give them the benefit of the doubt?

By their way of thinking, “A hostage and Gaza ceasefire agreement would more broadly, create conditions for diplomacy to get the region out of this cycle of violence.” But what is missed by the U.S. State Department deputy spokesperson, Vedant Patel, who made the patently naïve comment, is that there is no cycle of violence, a term which would indicate a tit-for-tat situation where each is guilty of inciting the other. This is far from an accurate and truthful portrayal of what is happening.

Israel is the reviled and despised entity of the Middle East. Her particular spiritual calling and destiny is anathema to the nations of the world, especially those who are her neighbors. Borne out of jealousy and an ancient rivalry, there is a sense of galling vexation that has grabbed these opponents by the throat, making it almost impossible to coexist and breathe the same air as those whom God has called His “Chosen.” Consequently, they won’t sleep well until the world is Jew-free.

If this is not understood by the leaders of the free world, then there is really no hope for the rest of mankind, because without a clear comprehension of the goals and intent of Israel’s enemies, the world is at risk of making the tragic mistake of believing the lies and false promises of Satanic people who cannot be trusted under any circumstances!

The first rule, in the game of preservation, is to know your enemy, how they think and to what lengths they are willing to go in order to achieve their goals of destruction. Once that is determined, it becomes a protective armament in knowing how to fight them off. Unfortunately, those who claim to assist us are, themselves, ignorant or unwilling to confront the true nature of these agents of evil who have the capacity to fool very gullible people who want to believe that savages can be peace partners.

But isn’t this the exact, same folly that led us to October 7th, when our own leaders spent years believing that the avowed terrorists of Hamas could be turned into responsible, normal upstanding people who would come to the table for the sake of forging efforts to peacefully live side by side with one another? It is a zero-sum game, where good people lose and bad people reap the benefits of their guile.

It's time for world leaders to wake up from their child-like innocence which serves no one but rather continues to endanger everyone in a world which is filled with violence and the desire to shed the blood of those who simply want to live life in peace. The only way to do that is to be one step ahead of the people who claim that they won’t attack us if we just make a deal with them.
