I don't fear death; I've faced the harsh realities of the world long enough to accept my own end. What troubles me is the thought of those jihadists celebrating over my lifeless body, reveling in their victory after brutalizing me for questioning their extreme beliefs. I refuse to go silently; I want to instill fear in these terrorists and make them feel the terror they've imposed on Non-Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Jews, atheists and all who value freedom of expression. Israel appears to understand the real solution to the persistent threats posed by Islamist extremism—a perspective sharpened by their ongoing struggles, which could guide others in navigating the nightmare now spreading across Europe, North America, Australia, India, and beyond. We've witnessed similar patterns from Paris to London and New York to Sydney: no-go zones, knife attacks, grooming gangs, synagogue bombings, and violence against those who challenge fanaticism, while authorities often remain passive. In Sweden, grenades are routinely used; in France, churches are targeted and chants of "Allahu Akbar" fill the streets; in Britain, counter-terrorism operations are frequent, yet the ideology continues to spread unchecked. On campuses, Jewish students conceal their identities as pro-Hamas rallies celebrate acts of terror. Instead of responding firmly, the free world apologizes and accommodates, offering cultural sensitivity instead of strength. Israel stands alone in refusing to follow this path of defeat. Their strategy—thorough intelligence operations against terror networks, preemptive actions to neutralize threats, robust defenses, strict laws against incitement, and a culture that prioritizes survival—has allowed this small nation to withstand surrounding enemies. They don’t wait for attacks to happen; they take decisive, proportionate action. They expose collaborators, disrupt funding, and make the penalties for terrorism unthinkably high. Imagine if the rest of the free world could adopt even a bit of that determination: viewing Islamist extremism as the totalitarian ideology it is, infiltrating radical groups, deporting inciters without lengthy processes, closing down terror-related places of worship, and presenting a united front that boldly declares, "not here, not ever." For me, this isn’t about revenge; it’s about survival, ensuring that one day, freethinkers, Jews, women and anyone targeted by this extremist ideology can walk freely without fear, while the terrorists are forced into hiding. Israel has proven it can be done. The question remains: does the free world have the courage to learn from it?

I hate it when Radical Islamist Jihadists criticize Israel and the West but never condemn Radical Islamism—it's blatant hypocrisy.
