Why Ceasefire is Not the Answer to Israel-Hamas War

A ceasefire in the Hamas-Israel war is not just misguided, but a dangerous betrayal of justice. The international community’s calls for negotiation ignore the harsh reality of Hamas’ violent extremism and Israel’s right to defend itself. True justice demands not compromise, but the defeat of those who seek to destroy peace and freedom. The Chief Rabbi argues against the international push for a ceasefire, insisting that it not only legitimizes Hamas' violent actions but also abandons Israel at a critical moment. Instead, global institutions and governments should call for unconditional surrender and the release of all hostages, ensuring that Hamas is held accountable. Highlights include: 1/ The dangers of treating Hamas and Israel as moral equals, and why the concept of a ceasefire undermines Israel's right to defend itself. 2/ The Chief Rabbi's urgent call for the international community to demand Hamas' unconditional surrender, rejecting any compromises. 3/ A critique of Western nations, including the US and UK, for limiting military support to Israel while pursuing misguided ceasefire negotiations. 4/ A comparison between Hamas’ actions and historical examples of evil that demanded total defeat 5/ A strong warning to the West: failing to support Israel unequivocally in this war could lead to dire consequences for the Western world itself.
