Buck Brief - Israel's Just War

and there are reports of a large number of casualties. Now, this is going to be seized upon immediately by the critics of Israel to say, this is why we need to have a ceasefire, because there are civilian casualties. I

reject that. I think that anybody who understands what's going on here and the scope of the conflict ahead sees that the rules of engagement here should be very similar to what they were for the US after Ine eleven, namely that if you are a nation that is responding to this kind of mass casualty terror attack, you have the right to defend yourself and to do so in a way that is going to be imperfect when it comes to civilian casualties, but is effective when it comes

to defending yourself. Now there is a balance there, I understand that. But Israel does not kill civilians on purpose. Hamas does. That is a clear and defining difference between these two groups. Israel does not kill civilians on purpose, Hamas does. And when Israel fires a missile or drops a bomb on a target has just happened here in the Jebelia neighborhood, there are going to be sometimes civilian casualties. They will try to mitigate those a degree they can.

But this strike, it is believed when after one of the primary planners of the October seventh attack, and so with that high value target, even in a densely populated civilian area, you're going to have the Israelis making a decision that they just need to defend themselves through taking aggressive action because this guy could be planning another's I'm certainly it's a question of when he would plan another attack. This individual and some of those around him, I'm sure

there are other senior Hamas planners there too. This was an attack on the central Jabaliah battalion, which had taken control of civilian buildings. These deaths are all on Hamas and the Gie hottest cause that is embraced by a large number of Palestinians in Gaza. They have caused this situation. They are responsible for what is happening here, and all these efforts at some kind of moral parody to create moral parody between Israel and Hamas are rooted in ignorance,

bad faith, and honestly often anti Semitism. The Israelis have been very patient actually in the response to October seventh, trying to hear from the US, which I know the Biden administration has been trying to hold them back and constantly telling them like, oh, you must obey the laws of war. As though then Yahoo and the IDEF need to hear that. I need to hear that from Joe Biden. They are the good guys in this and sometimes conflicts

do have good and evil at stake. This is not some minor territorial dispute with two groups that are putting professional armies in the field, and after some casualties are observed by both sides, they'll come to some kind of an agreement. That's not what's happening here. Hamas wants to destroy the State of Israel and exterminate the Jewish people and that is what it says it wants to do,

and that is how it has acted. The misery of the Palestinian people in Gaza is the fault of Hamas, the terrorist group that runs Gaza, and it's I think it couldn't be any more abundantly clear that the that misery falls upon Hamasa's shoulders, that the civilian casualties that

will come from this conflict fall on Hamassa's shoulders. You know, all of these entities in the region, when you think about it, whether it's Hamas, Hezbollah, the Iranian regime, the Shia backed militias, it's all rooted in hatred, misery, violence and destruction. None of these entities are involved in happy,

well ordered societies. It there's there's something going on here, right, It's it's not like, uh, these these are our groups that are representing peoples in the region who are well governed and who are prosperous and law you know, lawful and happy and no, the this all comes out of misery. And it's worth understanding. You know, the e miseration I think is brought on by the leadership, but also by at some level the ideology here and depends on what

specifically we're talking about them. It certainly you could look at the role that militant Shia Islam just plays in all of this, or militant Islam in general. Militant Islam is a recipe for misery for the people in the country that live under that regime and also for its neighbors, because eventually they're going to cause problems, not even eventually, it's usually rather quick that they are going to become aggressive and they're going to destabilize the region, and that

is what they do. And also it's very it's hard, I think people to wrap their minds around this, but the depth of the hatred for the Jewish people that is inculcated at the very earliest age by Hamas and by Hesblah and these others, they have been they have been working to create a perception of dehumanization of Jews in there with Palestinian youth, to brainwash them into this as a function of state policy. So this isn't a normal conflict in the sense that it's armies in the field.

You know, war is always hell, but eventually the combatants will come to some kind of a resolution based upon who gets what, and they split up the spoils. No, No, this is, on the one hand, a war of defense. On the other hand, an attempt at long term destabilization and extermination of a hated enemy. And that's what Hamas is doing to Israel. Israel is defending itself. And I think that moral clarity in this moment is absolutely essential.

That's essential to have in this conflict. It's essential to have in any area of national security where the stakes are very high, and that is one that we're in right now. All right, from our sponsors, this could not come in a better time in our Society's speaking of a new company with a new membership officer. It's from a company called Patriot Defender.

all heading in Israel and here here at home. What we're seeing, first of all, you know, Alan Dershowitz, for example, has come out and said that he doesn't think that people should give money to Harvard anymore. They're better now. He's somebody who built up certainly his academic career as a professor at Harvard Law School and is very much associated with that institution. So for him to come out and say Harvard Law should no longer be receiving donations

and that, you think is pretty pretty big deal. So why does he feel that, Well, Well, because of not just the anti semitism of some of the student groups on campus, but also what he's what he's seen from the administration of Harvard, namely that the president of Harvard

suddenly has discovered nuance in free speech issues. You know, if you would take in a very anti BLM stance, if you had said things about George Floyd that were factually true but that you weren't supposed to say in you know, June of twenty twenty, Harvard administration would have condemned you. They might have even taken action against you. True of a lot of schools, elite and non elite

universities all across the country. But now when it comes to the support of Hamas and honestly, the outright jew hatred that has been on display on many of these campuses, right, the anti Semitism, it's the hatred of Jewish people. That's really what we're seeing when it comes to that, Harvard and these other schools are all of a sudden very very protective of free speech right. They're not saying they agree with it, They're just saying they're protective of free

speech rights. And I think everyone at some level understands what the game is here, right. They're protective of free speech rights on this issue now, but a lot of other issues they would not be. So they pick and choose when to deploy that. It's not about principle, it's about what they need in the moment for their side. But I'd also point this out. You have all these different individuals. I mean, Dershowitz is a Democrats, it's maybe

a little bit different. But you have individuals who are coming forward to say that they will no longer give money to Harvard or some other fancy university that they've gone to because of this issue. And I just would would like to say, yes, it's worse what we're seeing than anything else we've seen on campus in some time. But it's also worth noting these campuses have been crazy for a long time, and conservative speakers have been physically

attacked and threatened on these campuses. A Dartmouth there was a famous incident where Charles Murray came to speak and he and actually the professor who was with him so was some years ago, were physically assaulted. You can't speak on trans issues on these campuses, truthfully. You can't speak about BLM truthfully. It's only on this, in this moment, on this issue that it seems some of the very prominent donors are all of a sudden saying I'm not

going to give money anymore. I just feel like this has been building for a long time. I understand this maybe is you know, the crack in the dam has now completely broken and the insanity is all flooding forward, and people can see that. But for me it does feel a bit like, well, there's a lot of reasons to not give money to these schools, based on what their positions have been, and based on their incredibly in

some cases just flatly insane posturing and ideology. So that part of it, I think doesn't really get very much attention. In all this. But it's not like this came out of nowhere. These campuses have been They've been certainly anti submitted for a long time, but they've also been promoting a lot of anti white rhetoric that's very real on these campuses, Promoting the notion that whiteness or white people

are inherently problematic and oppressive and bad. Promoting trans ideology as mandatory on these campuses, and using plural pronouns for individuals and sex change operations for kids, and all these things, all these different things that the Left has been pushing on campus for years now, and that really have turned into issues of mandatory belief. The donors were still writing checks, still writing checks to these places with all that going on.

Some of them are conservative. That's why I'm thinking about this. They look at this and I say, what took you so long? It'll take a long time, given how wealthy some of these schools are for them to actually feel anything from the change in donations, assuming that people actually go forward with this and they follow through with their

promise to not donate anymore. But the you know, American university American university campuses right now are hotbeds of radicalism that is threatening, threatening to the Jewish people obviously, it's also threatening to our society. These people are radicals. They're not reasonable, they're not rational. There's something very wrong with them. And while it has been exposed more on this issue than anything else in quite some time, their derangement is

not new. And the totalitarian impulse that they have has been this has been built and brainwashed into them, stretching back for years. Really on the campus is stretching back for decades.

And I hope that everybody is going to remember this moment and remember who has moral clarity and who was

siding with barbarism. Thanks for being here on the buck brief More tomorrow, shield Hime
