The Lesson of October 7th - There’s No Substitute for Victory

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.

 

One year ago today, Israel was murderously attacked by thousands of Sharia-supremacists from Gaza, including large numbers of civilians as well as Hamas terrorists with training and weapons provided by Iran.

 

Today, the war thus launched has devastated what amounted to a “Palestinian state” in Gaza and the Hamas crime syndicate that relentlessly used it as a platform to try to destroy the Jewish one.

 

Israel is now in the process of doing the same to areas of Lebanon controlled by Iran’s foreign legion, Hezbollah. The jihadists’ use of civilians to shield their operations in both places has resulted in regrettable collateral damage. But the prospect of their liberation offers a chance for a far better future.

 

That will require Israel to address, as well, the source of all these problems: namely, the Iranian regime.

 

There can be no substitute for victory.
