The unthinkable is now on the table. After witnessing the most horrific massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, Israel appears ready to reward its perpetrators. The proposed deal with Hamas is nothing less than an invitation to future atrocities.
For those who might have forgotten October 7th. Hamas terrorists didn't just cross a border. They orchestrated a campaign of deliberate cruelty that defies comprehension. They tied civilians up and set them alight. They raped men and women. They cut off Israelis' limbs in front of their families. They murdered infants. They filmed their atrocities with pride. And then they took 251 hostages back to their tunnels beneath Gaza.
Now, instead of finishing the job of dismantling Hamas, Israel is considering releasing 3,000 prisoners and withdrawing from Gaza. This isn't a peace deal – it's a victory parade for terrorism. Each released prisoner represents a potential future attacker. Each step of withdrawal creates a vacuum that Hamas and its Iranian backers will eagerly fill.
The timing is no coincidence. With changing political winds in Washington, Hamas sees an opportunity to turn their October 7th barbarism into a strategic triumph. They understand that every successful hostage negotiation becomes a template for the next kidnapping. Every concession becomes a foundation for future demands.
We've seen this movie before. After each round of violence, after each negotiation, the attacks have only grown bolder and more sophisticated. But this time, the stakes are different. October 7th revealed Hamas's true ambitions – not just terror, but genocide. Rewarding these ambitions doesn't buy peace; it finances future nightmares.
To those who support this deal: What will you say to the families of those who will die in the next attack? How will you justify strengthening an organization that views the October 7th massacre not as a crime, but as a template?
Some choices in war are difficult. This one isn't. You cannot purchase short-term relief with the blood of future victims. You cannot build peace by empowering those who videotape their own war crimes. You cannot prevent another October 7th by rewarding the perpetrators of the first one.
The only way forward is to finish what October 7th made necessary: the complete dismantling of Hamas's ability to murder, kidnap, and terrorize.
You don't have to think about it too hard to realize that anything less is just Netanyahu capitulating to Trump. And it's shameful.
