If Israel accepts a "truce" with Hamas after the barbarism they visited upon defenseless women and children, they'll be making a grave mistake

Robert Spencer warns against the possibility that Israel will accept yet another "truce" with Hamas, after the savagery that was experienced this past week, which would only prolong the horror story for much more time, and enable more kidnappings of innocent civilians along with murders, lest we forget:
After brutally massacring over 600 Israelis and then suffering some retaliatory strikes from Israel, the bloodthirsty jihadis of Hamas now want a truce. The Israeli government is virtually certain to get immense pressure to agree to such a truce, but this is actually the last thing that Israel should do at this point.

[...] The establishment media and the leftist political elites will receive this with hosannas and take it as the dawning of a new era of peace — if only those dastardly warmongering Israelis will take Hamas’ olive branch. That is, however, not really what it is at all. For Hamas to be asking for a truce on Monday evening Gaza time, it must have had an extremely bad Sunday and Monday. For Islamic law only allows for a truce if Muslims are weak and need to gather strength to fight later more effectively, or if they’re fighting non-Muslims whom they think may accept Islam. “If Muslims are weak, a truce may be made for ten years if necessary, for the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) made a truce with the Quraysh for that long, as is related by Abu Dawud…Interests that justify making a truce are such things as Muslim weakness because of lack of numbers or materiel, or the hope of an enemy becoming Muslim…” (‘Umdat al-Salik, o9.16). This idea is founded on the Qur’an itself: “So do not falter and cry out for peace when you have the upper hand…” (47:35).

Western authorities never, ever demonstrate even the slightest understanding of this point, but this means that when a jihad group asks for a truce, it is admitting that it is losing and needs time to recover. The last thing that its non-Muslim foe should do at that point is actually grant it a truce. What it should do instead is press on toward final victory.

This has happened numerous times in the past: Israel makes headway against the jihadis, they ask for a truce, and the American government pressures the Israelis into accepting. The Netanyahu government should stand firm against all such pressure from the Biden regime. It should understand Hamas’ interest in a truce as a declaration of weakness, and destroy this evil organization’s power to terrorize innocent people once and for all.
If the Netanyahu government fails to make a serious raid and do whatever they can to rescue/avenge victims of kidnappings, they will have failed generations to come, and enabled jihadist organizations to continue to commit more of this violence for many more years. Any weakness on this issue will carry a very heavy cost, both morally and politically.

Update: Stephen Green at PJ Media points out how western countries have allowed many Islamofascists to enter their territory, and run anti-Israel rallies in their midst. I think some of the worst offenders for allowing these to happen are Canada and Australia, and even New York City back in the USA presents a chilling example.
