One woman’s political opinion
BY ARLENE GLANTZ
I am deeply troubled and extremely disappointed by the timid and weak defensive response to Hamas by Conservatives/Republicans.
The Progressives/Democrats and pro-Palestinian protesters know how to benefit and make the most use of incendiary words and speech against Israel and Jews while attributing what they are doing or what those whom they support are doing.
The constant use of the word genocide by the Progressives/Democrats and pro-Palestinians, and claiming Israel is committing genocide, is flaming a growing fire that is destroying the fabric of our country. In support of Israel, Conservatives/Republicans are using timid and weak words, solely claiming Israel has a right to defend itself, instead of promulgating and making public what Hamas is doing: Hamas is committing genocide.
Hamas is committing genocide by putting its military men, equipment, and technology in and under hospitals, schools, and densely populated areas.
Hamas is committing genocide by intentionally killing their own people and blaming Israel.
Hamas is committing genocide by intentionally killing innocent Israelis and Jews.
Hamas is committing genocide by advocating the Death of America and, by implication, the death of all the American people.
Conservatives/Republicans must stop being timid and defensive and start being strong and offensive. The Best Defense is a Strong Offense. Hamas is committing genocide.
Conservatives/Republicans must strongly take the Offensive with Hamas and other issues as well and turn our country right side up again, or risk losing our country entirely.
The Progressives/Democrats are benefiting and making use of the phrase Destroying Democracy. They are claiming that Trump and Republicans are destroying democracy. They are again creating an upside-down, inside-out world. The Progressives/Democrats are destroying democracy.
The Progressives/Democrats are destroying democracy by abolishing and canceling free speech, a major tenant of democracy.
The Progressives/Democrats are destroying democracy by weaponizing and politicizing our legal system, a major component of democracy.
The Progressives/Democrats are destroying democracy by lying and promulgating disinformation.
The Progressives/Democrats are destroying democracy by authorizing and allowing an invasion at our Southern border to get more Democrat voters.
The Progressives/Democrats are destroying democracy by fostering and allowing dangerous drugs and cartel gangs to illegally enter our country, killing millions of Americans.
The Progressives/Democrats are destroying democracy by fueling great partisan division and identity politics.
The Progressives/Democrats are destroying democracy by advocating and encouraging racism against whites.
The Progressives/Democrats are destroying democracy by indoctrinating our children with woke and socialistic propaganda.
The Progressives/Democrats are destroying democracy by denigrating and deprecating our police and increasing domestic crime by enacting ‘no cash bail’ and ‘catch and release.’
The Progressives/Democrats are destroying democracy by making our military woke and leaving our Country unsafe.
Conservatives/Republicans must take the offensive and tell Americans who are really destroying our democracy. The Best Defense is a Strong Offense. Progressives/Democrats are destroying democracy.
The list can go on and on, perhaps in a future political opinion article, but suffice to say: Conservatives/Republicans must remember and practice the Best Defense is a Strong Offense. We can turn our Country right side up again.
