The strange thing about the Israel-Hamas conflict is that the people shouting the loudest for peace are the ones who are causing the violence.

The war began on Oct. 7 with the brutal attacks carried out by the Palestinian militant group Hamas on unsuspecting Israelis sleeping in their beds, living their lives, or attending a music festival.

But after Israel began a justified defense, which in their case meant destroying Hamas in Gaza, the world attacked them for their response.

In the U.S., pro-Hamas protesters blocked streets and college campuses shouting about a cease-fire while attacking Jewish students, barricading them in libraries, and hurling racist epithets at them.

Similar activities took place all over the world.

In Edinburgh, Scotland, a group of pro-Palestinian activists claimed responsibility for sabotaging internet cables and defacing property at a major arms manufacturer’s factory in the Scottish capital early Tuesday morning, according to the Scottish news outlet The National.

The activists released videos showing them accessing cable boxes at the Leonardo factory on Ferry Road, cutting wires, and spraying expanding foam inside to disrupt operations.

They also sprayed red paint and the message “Stop Arming Israel” on displays of fighter jet models produced at the factory.

Palestine Action Scotland stated the actions were aimed at the company Leonardo due to its supply of aircraft, laser targeting systems, and other military components to Israel, which the group accuses of committing “ongoing genocide” through its bombardment of Gaza, according to a left-leaning British outlet called Canary.

The outlet said, “The Edinburgh Leonardo weapons factory specialize in ‘high-energy military lasers,’ which are rigged to F-35 fighter jets, which Israel have been using extensively to bomb Gaza. Leonardo also supply Israel with Aermacchi M-346 aircraft and components for its Apache attack helicopters, all while benefitting from millions in Scottish Enterprise funding.”

“The weapons firm also merged with Israeli arms company RADA Electronic Industries, in a move that gives Leonardo a ‘stable domestic presence in the Israeli industrial context,’” the website claimed.

While protest and civil disobedience are protected forms of expression, intentionally sabotaging industrial infrastructure and military supply chains goes beyond activism — possibly affecting national security operations.

Where is the line between supporting terrorist governments and participating in terrorist activity?

The sabotage of military equipment is a lot worse than a few painted plane displays.

It could mean delays in the shipment of lifesaving defense equipment, which could cost lives.

It could mean failure of military equipment in the field, possibly endangering the lives of the very people these protesters claimed to be fighting for.

Activists who go beyond carrying placards and cause or attempt to cause actual harm to others should be treated as enemy combatants.

The definition of war has changed, and so has the definition of “enemy.”


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

“We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” Those 12 words have been stuck in my head since I first read them. 

Former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn recently made that comment to Floyd Brown, founder of The Western Journal. 

And if the leftists and the elites get their way, that’s exactly what will happen — no real election, no real choice for the Electoral College, and no real say for the American people. 

The Western Journal is fighting to keep that from happening, but we can’t do it alone.

We work tirelessly to expose the lying leftist media and the corrupt America-hating elites.

But Big Tech’s stranglehold is now so tight that without help from you, we will not be able to continue the fight. 

The 2024 election is literally the most important election for every living American. We have to unite and fight for our country, otherwise we will lose it. And if we lose the America we love in 2024, we’ll lose it for good. Can we count on you to help? 

With you we will be able to field journalists, do more investigative work, expose more corruption, and get desperately needed truth to millions of Americans. 

We can do this only with your help. Please don’t wait one minute. Donate right now.

Thank you for reading,
