The enemies of the Jews almost never understand the folly of their methods

After his plan to exterminate the Jewish people, including the Jewish queen, was exposed, the highest official in the royal court, Haman, was led to his execution by hanging. Once considered a hero by his people, Haman was denounced as an anti-Semite and is no longer held in esteem by the Persian people.

After his suicide, Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, once revered by Germans, revealed himself to be a hateful man and is now considered an embarrassment to the German people. The list of Jewish enemies once respected by their supporters, only to be exposed for their hatred and whose names are ignominious, is long; Haman and Hitler are just two of the many names of Jewish enemies now dishonored.

Yahya Sinwar’s name will soon join this long list. Killed by a 19-year-old Israeli soldier last month, Sinwar He died a coward and weak and the Palestinian people will forever remember him as such. For all his bravado over the years, he turned out to be just another rat in a tunnel hiding from Israeli forces.

The truth about who Sinwar was all along hasn’t stopped some (but not many) Palestinians and many of their apologists from trying to make him some kind of hero. Irish writer Keith Woods responded to Sinwar’s death by extolling him as a hero:

“Almost everyone recognized that there was something legendary about Sinwar’s last stand: at 61, he continued to fight after being bombarded by a tank, managed to throw grenades at the soldiers of The IDF arrived and created a makeshift tourniquet using wire from the rubble for his injured arm.

“For the past year, Sinwar has been portrayed by Israel as a rat scurrying through tunnels surrounded by human shields. But in the first and last image of him, he is above the ground, completely covered in dust, as if engulfed in the rubble of Gaza, struggling until his last breath. »

Sinwar’s last moments

Watch videos of Sinwar’s final moments and his greater concern for his personal situation than for the Palestinian people the night before the October 7 Massacre It is difficult to view Woods’ vision of Sinwar as a hero as nothing more than fantasy and wishful thinking from an ancient distinction whose hero image has been shattered by disappointment with the reality of cowardice of Sinwar.

The Times of Israel reported that the IDF believes Sinwar was forced to flee Khan Yunis to Rafah due to Israeli military pressure. Sinwar felt compelled to move, staying underground as much as possible, potentially up to 90% of the time. He then attempted to leave Rafah, where he was eventually spotted and killed by an IDF force operating in the area.

Instead of portraying the image that the Palestinians are trying to portray of Sinwar as a courageous fighter, he spent the night before the Simchat Torah attack in a luxurious bunker equipped with plasma televisions, UNRWA– aid sponsored and stolen by Hamas, and thousands of shekels in cash while ensuring the safety of his immediate family (and, for his wife, an Hermès handbag estimated to be worth over $30,000) that no other family in Gaza could acquire for themselves.

During the war, he hid in Hamas’s tunnel network while ordering Hamas terrorists to expose themselves and fight Israeli soldiers without cover. According to estimates by a Hamas official, the Israel Defense Forces massacred more than 30,000 Hamas fighters. Sinwar surrounded himself with six Israeli hostages, starving them until they were too weak to move from tunnel to tunnel with Sinwar while the Hamas leader slithered like a snake underground, trying to avoid ‘be detected.

After years of stealing international aid from the Palestinian people of Gaza, brutally oppressing them with his radical fundamentalist Islamic tyranny, and executing anyone who resisted his dictatorship, he died like many other Arab dictators like Saddam. Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi – in shame.

When he died, Sinwar did not fight; he was fleeing Israeli soldiers, instead of facing them like a courageous resistance fighter alongside his fellow fighters. His bodyguards abandoned him, leaving him alone. He snuck up to the top floor and tried to hide from the soldiers.

Well trained, these soldiers did not give up and used famous Israeli technology to find and eliminate him. His final “act of resistance” was to throw a piece of wood at the small capturing drone and broadcast his final moments of shame to the Israeli tank parked in front of the house where he was hiding.

His hideout could not provide cover because it was already encumbered by a war that Sinwar had unnecessarily brought to Gaza.

GEORGE DEEK, Israeli ambassador to the Republic of Azerbaijan, explained the Palestinian refusal to admit Sinwar’s cowardice as “a fear not of Israel itself, but of what Israel represents: a painful reflection of decline of the Muslim world since the fall of the caliphate.

Israel, in its entire existence – not just its actions – constitutes a glaring reminder of its stagnation and weakness in relation to Western progress. For many, Israel is a humiliating affront, described as nothing more than a “spider’s web,” fragile but maddeningly persistent.

“His mere presence is an insult, a challenge to the very idea of ​​Islamic greatness,” says Deek. “So the path to the restoration of this greatness lies not through progress or reform, but through destroying the Israeli cobweb through renewed Islamic fervor, heroism and relentless determination.

“Admitting that Sinwar’s actions were wrong would mean more than just criticizing a leader; this would require questioning the entire narrative of the conflict,” he continues. “This is why there is no alternative paradigm, because recognizing one would mean accepting a reality that challenges deeply rooted beliefs.”

The enemies of the Jewish people rarely come to understand the folly of their ways before it is too late to turn back. Zionism is an ideology that defends the right of the Jewish people to their homeland. It is a righteous and righteous movement that has not only survived but thrived because, with all its opponents, good people know its values ​​will stand the test of time.

God orchestrated Jewish history so that the Jewish people would be threatened by forces seeking to annihilate them in every generation, but every year God thwarts His plans.

Whether Pharaoh, Haman, Hitler or Sinwar, the leaders of the Jewish enemies have always died cowardly and weak, always known as an embarrassment to their people. The world can only hope that one day the cycle will end.
