Keeping America Free and Safe

William S. Hahn

The brutal attack on Israel by Hamas offers Americans a few lessons. 

First, don’t be naïve and think this couldn’t happen here. While Israelis have a certain level of familiarity with rocket attacks by Hamas terrorists, very few expected what occurred on October 7. As documented in the video No Place to Hide: The Strategy & Tactics of Terrorism produced by the Western Goals Foundation in 1982, the United States saw plenty of attacks by mostly domestic, but some international, terror groups in the 1960s and 1970s, a time when leftists were trained and organized for violence hoping to kick-start civil wars on several continents. Where will the violence of war in the Middle East now take us?

The 2020 riots involving Black Lives Matter and Antifa provided a more recent example of how quickly widespread violence and destruction can occur when the perpetrators are organized. A great cause for concern are terrorist “sleeper cells” within the United States, especially since our borders are wide open. Many of the recent migrants are of military age. No one knows for sure who they are, why they are here, or where they went — and local police are often prevented from finding out, especially in sanctuary cities.
