The pope’s absurd advice of a ceasefire and coming together

Is it the fact that he’s 86, and no longer has clarity of mind, or is it that he really doesn’t have a grasp on the mindset of barbaric terrorists? 

Either way, the recent calls made by Pope Francis for there to be a ceasefire, in the Hamas-Israel war, is one of the greatest absurdities, which only testifies to his complete inability to recognize profound evil that must be fought and eradicated.

Vatican News quotes the pope as saying, “May we think about the children, all the children involved in this war…we are killing their future in this way.”

It would appear that the pontiff needs a reminder that the future of the children, toddlers and babies who were burned alive, stuffed in an oven, shot and tortured, is already irrelevant, since they are no longer with us. Were their precious lives meaningless to the point that a ceasefire should be declared, rendering Israel unable to avenge their deaths as would any other nation under siege? 

And what happens to the terrorists who would be able to remain in their safe haven of Gaza until the next round when they would, once again, parachute into our sovereign country in order to inflict yet another savage massacre? That is what they have said they would do. 

Since when is it okay to close your eyes to that kind of depravity and call for peace in the midst of ongoing terror and the butchering of innocents? 

The pope, who claims to be God’s representative on earth, per the beliefs of the Roman Catholic Church, must have forgotten the most basic of scriptures when it comes to the nation of Israel – “I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you.” Genesis 12:3. Hamas, has chosen to curse Israel, to brutally kill her children, among other innocents, and the last thing they are willing to do is to take the advice of Pope Francis who says that “everyone should gather the courage to end the war.” 

It is Hamas’ deplorable actions that have brought a curse upon themselves, and part of that curse is the resulting consequence, which calls for their eradication so that they cannot inflict further massacres upon the Chosen People who neither asked for this war nor have purposed to kill innocent Gazan children but, instead, have humanely provided an exit road for them to escape. 

The pope goes on to say: “Let’s pray that we have the strength to say enough.” Well, I’m happy to inform him that his prayers have been answered, because Israel has truly said, “Enough!” – enough to the targeted murder of children, enough to the targeted murder of young people at a forest party, enough to the slaughter of entire families, enough to the burning of their homes and communities and enough to the inculcated hatred that these terrorists have received since birth. 

Pope Francis doesn’t seem to understand that Israel is all about life and living. For us, there is no greater or higher meaning than making the most out of the gift we have been granted by God when He formed us in the womb. That gift was not to be squandered or dedicated to erasing a specific people from the face of the earth. No God would demand such a thing nor endorse the vile hatred that is accompanied by an insatiable lust for their blood.

These are fundamental spiritual principles which, for some unexplainable reason, have been overlooked by the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, which purports to speak for the Almighty. Yet, he does not, because in order to bless Israel, one has to, first and foremost, recognize their right to exist in peace, safety and security. To bless Israel, one must understand that their own success is intrinsically bound with the ways in which they personalize the Jewish nation and people. To bless Israel is to pray for their well-being, prosperity and victory. 

Consequently, if they are viciously attacked by those whose sole purpose is to end their existence, how can anyone morally justify turning the other cheek at a time when chants are loudly being yelled, “From the river to the sea?” 

For those who may not know, the reason for the existence of an Israel military is to ensure that we remain a people in our own homeland – the same homeland which was bequeathed to us by God per Genesis 15:18: “To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt as far as the great river Euphrates.” To put down our weapons would literally be to sign our death warrant, because without a fight, Hamas will succeed in accomplishing the final solution which Hitler failed to complete.

So, I am in a quandary as to what it is that the pope believes would be the fruits of a ceasefire, the one in which he needs to invoke “the futures of innocent children” in order to tug at the heartstrings of society. To anyone who has a functioning mind, a ceasefire can only bring advantage and reward to the terrorists whose future aspirations will be to exact the same kind of massacre they were able to successfully pull off and then escape punishment.

As uninformed and ignorant protesters grow louder in their calls for Jewish genocide, threatening those who are not even connected to the State of Israel or its policies, we are all too aware that these haters are neither interested in hearing the real events that began this nightmare, nor are they able to search their own hearts and minds for the true meaning of justice in order to discern who are the true victims in this centuries’ long abhorrence of Jews.

While we may expect that kind of abject ignorance and detachment from heathens who serve no just and merciful God, it is not what anyone expects from someone who claims to be the holiest among all men. Because a large measure of holiness is determined by an uncompromising recognition of sin and evil, as well as what must be done to rid it from our midst.

Calling for a ceasefire while Israeli soldiers, who have put their young lives on the line and now have the military advantage as they close in on the savage enemies, is not just imprudent and senseless. It is morally bereft of taking a stand for righteousness! 

Pope Francis is known for his “politically correct” injunctions but there is nothing politically correct about allowing bloodthirsty terrorists to gain any advantage in their war against anyone who does not abide by their ideology that views all others as infidels – who are the vermin of mankind and must be eradicated. Because it comes down to this. To aid their efforts, in any way, including allowing for a ceasefire that can only help them, is to facilitate the demise of all Jews and all Christians worldwide.
