13,000+ missiles fired at Israel in the last 6 months from Gaza, from Lebanon, even from Iraq and Yemen. Our red alert apps continue to ping every day, north and south.

Israel continues to be locked in a defensive war that was forced on us with the Hamas invasion and massacre of October 7th. Many Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists have been captured or killed but many more remain entrenched in other areas of Gaza, there are many tunnels and Hamas bases still to be found. Israel pulled out of Khan Younis and right afterwards a volley of rockets was fired from Khan Younis into Israel.

134 Israeli hostages remain captive for the past 6 months in Gaza.
Hizballah in Lebanon mounts cross border attacks in to northern Israel on a daily basis.

So imagine how Israelis feel when "friends" like the UK, Canada, Australia, the US, France and others among the family of Western democracies threaten arms embargoes, in the case of Canada they've already enacted a weapons ban on Israel, including defensive items.

The article below is about the US, but it could be written about the current threats coming from Paris or Ottowa or David Cameron in London. 

The message is the same - they threaten to starve Israel of the means to defend itself from murderous enemies who openly declare their desire to destroy Israel and attack on a daily basis.

Somehow none of our so called "allies" seems bothered in the least that as they threaten Israel and talk about arms embargoes Iran, North Korea and others will continue to arm Hamas, Hizballah, Islamic Jihad, the Houthis and many other proxies in the Iranian noose now encircling Israel.

Threatening to withhold crucial weapons, never mind enacting an actual embargo against Israel while it fights for its life is not the act of allies. It's having a hand in weakening Israel and supporting those seeking the destruction of the world's only Jewish state.

"The late, great Middle East scholar Bernard Lewis liked to quip that while it is dangerous to be America’s enemy, it can be fatal to be its friend. That sad wisdom comes to mind as leading Democrats increase their pressure on Israel to end the war against Hamas before the terror group is defeated. 

Democrats claim to be looking out for Israel’s best interests, but that’s for Israelis to decide. The threats to withhold weapons from an ally must overjoy Hamas, whose strategy of hiding behind civilian deaths is the real source of Gaza’s humanitarian tragedy. 

Never mind that denying weapons to an ally in the middle of a war is the definition of betrayal."
