One of the first duties of a government, any government, it doesn’t matter which country or what culture is dominant within that country, is to protect those who are its citizens. This is because any country no matter who they are will have adversaries, those who wish to attack that country either by open military means or by other less kinetic methods such as trade restrictions, or subversion or propaganda or via diplomacy.

Because of this, nations have to employ rough and tough bodied and rough and tough minded people from their nation to defend against the threats against the citizens of that nation. Some of these individuals go into the military whilst others go into the intelligence, public relations and diplomacy fields in order to fight their nation’s battles.

It can be argued that there are a number of western nations, in particular the United Kingdom, which are not effectively protecting their citizens. In the UK for example, our police are undermanned and increasingly seen as over politicised, our military is at a less than optimum size and the Security Service may well be approaching its maxed out stage monitoring the increasing threat of jihad from the 39,000 Islamic extremists that they have to watch. We have in addition been cursed with a political class that has for the last few decades apparently more interested in appeasing and kow towing to foreign interests or international organisations rather than looking after the people that they are supposed to serve and to protect. This political class is also more interested in policing what words Britons use and what subjects they speak about than policing the nation’s borders and has placed Britons in the position where they fear oppression even for discussing border control or any of the many other problems Britain faces. I look around and I see too many signs both in politics and society that speak to me of a nation that is not being properly protected either from external threats nor internal ones.

This is a stark contrast to Israel. This nation values its citizens, it defends them from assault from neighbouring nations and when its citizens are murdered for no good reason by savages, Israel goes to war to avenge the deaths of their citizens and fights to ensure that Israel’s enemies are vanquished and that these enemies are less likely to endanger Israeli citizens in the future. Israel is also ruthless in going after the fifth columnists and traitors that have emerged since the start of the recent war, treasonous elements that all nations contain within them.

The Israeli government understands that the first job of any government is to secure the safety of its citizens, to protect them as best they can from hostile entities both external and internal. Following the 7/10 Pogrom, the Israeli government stepped up to the plate for its people, it went to war with those who attacked them. The Israeli government succeeded in carrying out the primary duty of government which is to protect its citizens from harm. What’s more they’ve done this in the face of political attacks and gale force whining from the ‘international community’, the left wing American government and once half decent but now horribly politically compromised NGOs.

Israel is avenging the unjustified attack on its people by Hamas by destroying the capacity of Hamas to act aggressively against Israel and is now going after those such as Iran who fund and support Israel’s other main terrorist enemy Hezbollah. Hamas to all intents and purposes is a busted flush now with the groups leadership killed and the oppressive hold over Gazans that Hamas had being weakened.

We can see this by the fact that there are now said to be mass surrenders by Hamas fighters in Gaza. This sort of mass surrender by those who would have earlier in the year been thought of as fanatics who would fight to the death for Hamas, is not what many might have expected. That these Hamas fighters are surrendering is testament to just how disrupted and defeated Hamas now is. The X account Hamas Atrocities has published pictures of groups of Hamas fighters surrendering to Israeli Defence Forces in Gaza (pictures below) and although none of the fighters looks as if they have been starved into submission, it’s clear that these men might have made the decision that it was better to live in an Israeli prison than die for a failed cause and for leaders who hide from the consequences of their own military decisions.

It is good to see the Hamas fighters, the people who took part in an unwarranted war of aggression against Israel being vanquished. However the war is not yet over and Israel is being attacked from without by the dying remnants of Hamas and an increasingly compromised and weakened Hezbollah and from within by both ‘Palestinians’ from Judea and Samaria and what seems like a relatively small number of Israeli Arab citizens who have been radicalised.

But despite the attacks that Israelis are suffering and despite the losses that Israel has incurred both on the battlefield and as a result of other eruptions of violent Jew hating Islamic savagery aimed at civilians, the Israeli government still fights as hard as it can for its own people. The Israeli government takes a realistic view of international relations and because of that it doesn’t allow itself to succumb to positive delusions about those who oppose them and wish harm on Israelis.

Israelis can have confidence that their own governments will defend them and defend the way of life of Israelis. I don’t have the same confidence that the British government would do the same. In fact I’d go so far as to say that the words and actions of those in government in Britain give me the distinct impression that those who govern us hate us and wouldn’t lift a finger to help us if it was Britons on the receiving end of something even a fraction as horrific as the 7/10 Pogrom.

Yes of course the State would intervene with regards immediate help following a massive Islam inspired attack, but unlike in Israel we Britons would not be allowed, on pain of imprisonment, to discuss why we were attacked and neither would the State go to the lengths that the Israeli government has gone to in order to wipe out those who attacked us. I know this because I’ve seen this happen before in particular after the London Bridge One attack where the State played the ‘don’t look back in anger’ and ‘Islam is a religion of peace’ cards in order that the public did not connect the dots that links the ideology of Islam to such murderous attacks.

With regards to defence of the public, the Israeli government does indeed look like much more of a properly functioning nation than the United Kingdom does. It puts the defence of its citizens ahead of almost everything else and certainly, unlike the government of the UK, takes no heed of international organisations that hate them, chancer foreign politicians or NGO’s such as Amnesty International which are now so bent that the ghosts of their founders must be weeping right now.

It doesn’t have to be that way. We could have a government that looks after the citizen and who puts the citizen and their rights way ahead of non-citizens or enemies and I hope and pray that one day Britain will have a government that secures the safety of its citizens in a similar way to how the Israeli government does.
