Oct. 7 and Islamic Jihad: They Hate America As Much As They Hate Israel

Today is the anniversary of the Oct. 7 massacre, the worst day of slaughter for Jews since the Holocaust. But what many Americans either don’t know or refuse to acknowledge, from the most obscure TikTok user up to the White House, is that the so-called Palestinians hate Christians and America just as much as they hate Jews and Israel. 

In 2010, huge mobs of Gazans chanted “death to America.” In 2019, Hamas’s backer, Iranian Ayatollah Khamenei, called America the “Great Satan,” and in 2023, Khamenei called “death to America” a “policy.” In late 2023, Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri declared, “We need violent acts against American and British interests everywhere.” In early 2024, Qatar’s Al Jazeera aired a video from a Gaza influencer calling America the “Great Satan” and the Palestinians’ prime enemy in response to U.S. aid drops. In April, a Hamas official called for global jihad to undermine America’s interests. 

And since the Palestinian Authority funds Hamas through the pay-for-slay program — besides just recently inviting Hamas to unify with them — and a majority of Gazans support jihad, we can safely say “the Palestinians see America as their ultimate target”. The picture above is of a group of Palestinians celebrating on Oct. 7.

Furthermore, while Islam’s sacred texts are most explicit when commanding the murder of Jews, in fact, they also endorse and encourage the killing of all non-Muslims. Islam's faithful adherents have been putting these tenets into practice for nearly a millennium and a half — they turned Hagia Sophia into a mosque just as they built mosques on the Temple Mount, and they have killed Christians in many eras en masse for refusing conversion just as they killed Jews en masse on Oct. 7, 2023.

The power and demonic evil of Islam is that it takes men's very worst sins and crimes, including murder, rape, sexual abuse, hatred, ingratitude, and cruelty, and glorifies them as "virtues" meriting Paradise. Judaism and Christianity teach justice and compassion, but Islam teaches injustice and barbarity. This is why it is, in fact, impossible to have a democratic and religiously tolerant society/nation with any majority or strong minority of Muslims. While many individual Muslims are not jihadis, their religion promotes jihad; one can either be a good Muslim and a bad man or a bad Muslim and a good man. Every country that has ever allowed in too many Muslims has become a dictatorship under the thumb of Sharia, and such an outcome is inevitable.

There are some Westerners who hate Jews nearly as much as Hamas and the PA do, like Ilhan Omar, Zohran Mamdani, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, which is why they side with Gaza. Other Westerners are antisemitic because they insanely think Christians are spiritual opponents instead of brothers with Jews, like Tucker Carlson and the late Pope Francis (though, as the Jewish rabbi Jesus Christ said, salvation is from the Jews). Still other Westerners are ignorant and happy to remain so, like the college campus protestors, or they confuse their dislike of certain Israeli politicians with the entire nation of Israel, like Steve Bannon. And then there are the well-meaning optimists who nevertheless end up aiding the Palestinians and putting the Israelis at a disadvantage, like Trump, because they want so badly to believe that the Palestinians desire peace.

In Islam, war is a way of life, and terrorism is a glorious and holy mission from the demon-god Allah. The unspeakable horrors of Oct. 7, the torture, rape, and murder of over a thousand innocents, were celebrated by Gazans and financially rewarded by the Palestinian Authority. Just listen to the extreme joy in the voice of the Hamas terrorist below as he brags about murdering ten Israeli men and women and how proudly his parents congratulate him. And the regimes of Qatar, Iran, Syria, and other Muslim countries are more supportive than ever of Palestinian jihad. 

Oct. 7 was a wake-up call not just to Israel but to the whole world about the Satanic evil of Islam. We didn’t learn from 9/11, and so Oct. 7 happened. Are we open to listening now, or are we determined to remain blind to the bloody truth?
