the western liberal elites have deluded themselves into thinking that terrorism would stop if only the jewish state itself disappeared. it is for this reason that they refuse to recognise jerusalem as the legitimate capital of the sovereign jewish state of israel. yet, for islam, all of israel is illegitimate and a western colonial outpost. what's more, islam is at war with the entire west. it is obvious that islam does not need many soldiers to terrify european populations, and especially their leaders.
gaza is an islamic terror entity whose sole purpose is to destroy the sovereign jewish state of israel. the leaders of this islamic terror entity know that whatever their terror aggression against the jewish state, they will not be condemned by the western elites currently in charge. to the contrary, these western elites will continue to condemn the jewish state for exercising her right to self defence.
