In the ancient laws of the desert, there was a brutal, honest code. Blood for blood. An eye for an eye. If Clan A launched a raid, murdered children, and destroyed a household, Clan A knew with absolute certainty that Clan B was coming to balance the ledger. And when the price was paid, the ledger was settled. It was harsh, but it was coherent: you take a life, you pay with a life, and you accept the consequences of the war you started. What we are witnessing today is the total corruption of both ancient law and modern morality.
The ideological enemy wants the freedom of a seventh-century barbarian raid when attacking sovereign Jewish homes, murdering mothers and abducting infants like the Bibas family. But the exact second the counterstrike lands, they sprint to Western microphones, suddenly speaking the language of twenty-first-century human rights and victimhood.
They demand the absolute right to slaughter without paying a single grain of the price. And then comes the Western media apparatus to complete the scam. The Western press and progressive institutions operate on pure ideological pathology. When an asymmetric terror group embeds itself in dense civilian corridors and turns an entire city into a combat zone, the West treats them as having zero moral agency. But when a sovereign military enters that exact combat chaos and conducts internal forensic investigations into tragic combat accidents, the Western media twists the very existence of an investigation into an admission of premeditated guilt. They screamed for nine months about a lack of proportionality. But they do not want proportionality.
They do not want the laws of the desert, because the laws of the desert demand accountability for the raid. And they do not want the laws of modern warfare, because international law recognizes the sovereign right to destroy an enemy's military capability.
What they want is a unilateral license for violence against Jews, paired with a complete Western media embargo on Jewish self-defense. They take the violence of the ancient world, back it with the hypocritical guilt of the modern West, and use it to disarm the only sovereign state standing in their way.
