Three years after the October 7 massacre, on the secular calendar, and Israel still has not clearly named the enemy behind the attack.
The enemy was not merely Hamas, Qatar or the Islamic Republic of Iran. Hamas is one terrorist organization produced by a much broader threat: jihadist ideology, a worldview that glorifies violence, domination and the persecution of those who refuse to submit.
October 7 was not only a warning to Israel. It was a warning to the entire freedom-loving world.
Look at the unrest spreading across France and other parts of Europe. Police are attacked, property is burned and foreign flags are waved, yet Western leaders continue treating each eruption as an isolated social problem. They condemn vague “extremism” while refusing to confront the ideology exploiting their freedom, tolerance and open societies.
Every refusal to name the threat empowers it.
A Belgian journalist recently interviewed me about alleged “settler violence.” After dismantling his premise, I told him that Europe is obsessing over Jews living and defending themselves in our ancestral homeland while ignoring the jihad inside their gates threatening its own civilization.
Israel must lead the intellectual and moral fight. We must stop speaking only about individual organizations and begin exposing the ideology connecting Hamas, the Iranian regime and jihadist movements operating around the world.
Governments must dismantle organizations promoting terrorist violence, prosecute incitement and material support for terrorism, and all those who actively advocate jihadist violence, promote discriminatory sharia law, or assist terrorist organizations.
Israelis are awakening to this reality. Now Israel must become a light unto the nations by telling the free world the truth it is afraid to confront.
Name the enemy. Defend our civilization. Protect future generations.
