⁣Words.

That’s all you’ve got.

Go shout that on the streets of Gaza.

See how far that gets you.

Prior to October 7, Sinwar knew Israel was closing in on shutting down any hope for a Palestinian State.

Normalized relations with Saudi Arabia would have sealed that deal.

So he launched October 7.

A desperate effort to change the calculus.

The key was the ability for the people of Gaza to outlast the people of Israel.

To wear down Israel, Sinwar needed the Iranian-led Axis of Resistance to carry out a delicately balanced war of attrition with Israel designed to break Israel.

It almost succeeded.

The key was always Hezbollah.

The ability of Hezbollah to engage Israel in a costly war of attrition which never crossed the line into a full scale conflict was what made the Sinwar gambit almost succeed.

Hassan Nasrallah’s leadership was critical.

In the end, Nasrallah’s death at the hands of Israel served as a precursor for the balancing act to fail.

A ceasefire agreement was agreed to so that both Israel and Hezbollah could regroup.

This was not a strategic victory for Israel—far from it.

The potential of renewed fighting was a sword of Damocles hanging over Israel’s head.

But this potential only existed if Hezbollah remained physically connected with Iran.

Syria was the linchpin for this connectivity.

Bashar al-Assad’s Syria.

The loss of Assad’s Syria dealt a huge, perhaps fatal, blow to the Axis of Resistance.

Iran’s ability to meaningfully threaten Israel hinged on Hezbollah acting as a loaded pistol aimed at Israel’s head.

But this pistol depended on the physical connectivity between Iran and Lebanon.

Which means it depended of Assad’s Syria.

Which is now forever lost.

Sinwar’s gambit has failed.

And the Palestine cause has been mortally wounded in the process.

⁣HOW TRUMP SAVED CHRISTMAS

In the early morning hours of Wednesday, December 11, Joe Biden tried to start a nuclear war with Russia.

And on Thursday, December 12, Donald Trump did his best to stop it.

If he succeeds, Donald Trump will have saved Christmas.

Take that, Grinch.

This isn’t a laughing matter, and yet, in writing this, I am overcome by a sense of giddiness that only comes when you’ve pulled off something that nobody thought possible.

My wife is Georgian Orthodox. She was raised Georgian Orthodox during Soviet times, when being Christian was not encouraged. Her great-grandfather studied in the Gori Seminary, but eschewed the priesthood in favor of revolution, joining the Bolsheviks. But while religion may be brushed aside by men in favor of politics, it lives in the hearts of women, and my wife’s grandmother and mother were devout Georgian Orthodox Christians, baptizing their children in the faith of their people (my wife did the same for our daughters, who observe the traditions of the Georgian Orthodox Church.

The history of the Georgian Orthodox Church traces its roots to the earliest times of Christianity. Christianity was brought to what is today modern Georgia in 327 AD by St. Nino, a Christian lady whose faith was grounded in the Patriarch of Antioch, the original Christian church, and whose territory encompassed what is today modern Syria. The Georgian Orthodox Church was declared to be an independent church around 420. But Georgians know their faith, and their history.

Shortly after taking control of Damascus, terrorists from Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), an affiliate of the Al Qaeda terrorist group, disrupted a mass at St. George's Syriac Orthodox Church—the seat of the Christian faithful who share the same roots as the Georgian Orthodox Church, forcing the priest to vacate the premises, and looting the church’s treasury and donation box. HTS terrorist previously had driven faithful Christian’s from their ancestral homes and places of worship in the province of Idlib, which fell under HTS or Al Qaeda control since 2016. Christians throughout Syria today are being killed, raped, imprisoned and persecuted by HTS terrorists.

Shortly after HTS seized control in Syria, the political leadership of Hamas declared that “We stand strongly with the great people of Syria … and respect the will, the independence, and the political choices of the people of Syria.”

HTS leadership was not a political choice of the Syrian people. Moreover, the destruction of Christianity in Syria is not a “political choice” that deserves respect.

I have stood up and declared my support for Hamas in its courageous struggle against Zionism and in support of a free and independent Palestine because it was the right thing to do.
But at the end of the day, I am not a Palestinian.

I am an American who is married to a Georgian Orthodox woman.
And I cannot stand side by side with a people who have expressed their support of terrorists who are destroying the foundations of my wife’s faith.

As long as the Palestinians do not condemn whole heartedly the actions of HTS and its affiliates in Syria, I cannot call myself their ally.

Because at the end of the day, one must stand up in defense of their own people.

And “my people” includes the people, like my wife and daughters, who have embraced the Georgian Orthodox faith, a faith grounded in the history and faith of the Church of Antioch—the original Christian Church—which is in the process of being eradicated by the HTS terrorists whose “accomplishments” in Syria are praised by many supporters of the Palestinian cause.

I will never stand with Israel, and I will always condemn the genocide perpetrated by Israel on the people of Gaza.

But I will never again say that I stand with Hamas, for the simple reason that Hamas has declared it stands with HTS, a terrorist entity that is in the process of destroying the historical legacy of the faith of my family.
