Actions speak louder than words.

In December of 2024, then President-Elect Donald Trump vowed to eliminate, remove, destroy, and disarm Hamas, to remove them from power, quickly, once he took office. Since his inauguration last January, President Trump has stated more times than can be counted at this point, along with others in his administration, that Hamas would be eliminated. No longer in power in Gaza. Disarmed. He was going to be the king of peace in the Middle East.

Mere words.

Hamas, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt all laugh at the words, only knowing one thing — strength in actions, not mere words.

Hamas has violated the “ceasefire” on numerous occasions. With zero consequences.

President Trump hamstrung Israel in forcing his horrible 20-point “peace plan” when he did, in an attempt to win a Nobel Peace Prize, as Israel was about three weeks away from winning in Gaza. But America couldn’t have that. Satan couldn’t have that. The illusions, the delusion is thick in Washington, D.C., in the West Wing, on Air Force One and Two, in Congress, and across the land.

The cornerstone of President Trump and his administration — zero understanding of Islam, zero discernment or understanding of the Holy Bible, zero understanding of history, zero understanding of Israel’s place and purpose, and Middle East dynamics.

Can’t force peace. Can’t bribe peace. Can’t just claim peace.

Hamas began breaking the deal the very first day as they began slaughtering Gazans whom they oppose and fear, and began sending guerrillas around in an attempt to begin killing IDF soldiers one by one.

Israel reacted.

But Israel always bows to America. No matter who the prime minister of Israel is, no matter who the president of America is. Israel only moves when given the okay by America.

That’s tragic.

That’s dead wrong.

Actions speak louder than words, and action is all that Islam understands.

President Trump, Vice-President Vance, Witkoff, Kushner, everyone in the Trump administration needs to stop talking and finally take the action they said they would months and months ago.

And while they’re at it? Try reading the Hamas charter, Mr. President, and have everyone in your White House read not only the Hamas charter, but the charters of every Islamic state.

Have someone give you all a book report on the Qur’an.

And a history lesson on Islam and the Middle East.

And, most importantly? Pick up a Holy Bible. Read it. Slowly. Do more than merely read. Study, Absorb. BELIEVE. And take it to heart.

Just words: V.P. Vance said Hamas will be ‘obliterated’ if it doesn’t comply with ceasefire terms

Vice President J.D. Vance warned Tuesday that Hamas faces annihilation if it fails to honor the cease-fire terms but declined to attach a timetable to that threat, saying Washington will not set a fixed deadline for disarmament.

Speaking at the U.S.-Israel coordination center overseeing the Gaza truce, Vance answered a question about Hamas disarming—a crucial part of the 20-part plan the terror group says it will not fulfill—by saying, “If Hamas doesn’t comply with the deal, very bad things are going to happen.”

“If Hamas doesn’t cooperate, it will be obliterated,” he said, echoing a similar statement by Donald Trump but not indicating any deadline for the terror group’s elimination of weapons.

Vance said his trip to Israel, which he described as planned for months, was not a last-minute effort to prop up the agreement after recent IDF strikes that followed a Hamas attack in which two Israeli soldiers were killed.

On the shape of Gaza’s future authority, Vance said the administration has not settled on a model. “I don’t know the answer to that question,” he said, adding that any governance arrangement must remain adaptable to conditions on the ground.

He emphasized that security, reconstruction and humanitarian needs—including food and medicine—must come first before long-term political arrangements are decided.

Vance also addressed the return of the remains of deceased hostages and said the process will be slow and difficult.

He noted some hostages may be buried beneath vast amounts of rubble or their locations simply unknown, and urged “a little bit of patience” as recovery teams work.

Vance acknowledged that Turkey playing a part may seem objectionable to Israelis given its past support for Hamas, but added, “No one who is a party to this conflict can look at the conflict and not point at something that they don’t like and that they disagree with … The way that we’re going to get to peace is to focus on the future, which is what the president of the United States has asked us to do.”

“We’re not going to force anything on our Israeli friends when it comes to foreign troops on their soil, but we do think that there’s a constructive role for the Turks to play, and frankly, they’ve already played a very constructive role,” he added.

Despite the administration’s firm rhetoric, Vance reiterated that Washington will not impose a disarmament deadline, instead tying consequences to Hamas’s behavior under the cease-fire.
