The news out of the Middle East is once again heating up. On October 19, 2025, Israel launched airstrikes and artillery attacks in southern Gaza. Why? Because Hamas broke the cease-fire agreement—again.
Let’s be clear. This isn’t the first time Hamas has said one thing and done another. They agreed to stop fighting, but then turned around and started launching attacks anyway. And when Israel defends itself, the media rushes to paint Israel as the bad guy. That’s not just unfair—it’s dishonest.
Here’s what regular folks are seeing: Israel tries to live in peace, but Hamas uses every quiet moment to regroup and prepare for more violence. It’s like a never-ending cycle. Israel agrees to a cease-fire to avoid more bloodshed, and Hamas uses that truce to sneak in more weapons and dig more tunnels. Then the rockets start flying again. And guess who gets blamed? Israel.
The media hardly ever tells the full story. They’ll show images of destruction in Gaza but leave out the fact that Hamas hides their weapons in schools and hospitals. They won’t mention that Hamas fires rockets from neighborhoods, putting their own people in danger just to make Israel look bad when they respond. That’s not defending your country—that’s using people as human shields.
Most Americans see through this. We’re tired of the double standards. If a terrorist group was launching rockets into our towns, we wouldn’t wait around for the United Nations to hold a meeting. We’d take action—fast. That’s exactly what Israel is doing. They’re not the aggressors, they’re protecting their people.
Now there are protests happening here in the U.S., like the “No Kings” rallies. These groups claim to be for peace, but they often end up supporting the very people who are breaking the peace. It’s one thing to want a better world, but it’s another thing to ignore who’s really causing the violence. You can’t claim to be against war while cheering for groups that start wars.
And let’s not forget where Hamas gets its support. Countries like Iran have been funding and arming them for years. While Israel is our ally, Hamas is tied to regimes that hate America. So when these protesters side with Hamas, whether they realize it or not, they’re siding with America’s enemies.
The average American knows this isn’t just about Israel and Gaza. It’s about right and wrong. It’s about standing with people who share our values—freedom, democracy, and the right to live in safety. Israel has every right to defend itself, just like any other country would.
Under President Trump, the United States stands firmly with Israel. We saw peace deals happening in the region because our leadership had backbone. We didn’t bow down to terrorist groups or pretend both sides were equal. We called out the bad guys and stood by our friends.
What we’re seeing now is the result of weak leadership in the past. Cease-fires that weren’t enforced. Terror groups that were allowed to grow. And media coverage that twisted the truth instead of telling it straight. But the American people haven’t forgotten. We know who’s telling the truth and who’s playing games with it.
At the end of the day, Israel didn’t ask for this fight. But when Hamas breaks a cease-fire, Israel can’t just sit back and do nothing. They have families to protect. Schools to keep safe. Cities that deserve peace.
The silent majority gets it. We’re not fooled by the headlines or the protests. We know who the real victims are, and we’re not afraid to say it. Hamas broke the deal. Israel defended itself. That’s the truth, whether the media likes it or not.
