The launch of “Operation Southern Spear” marks a dangerous revival of America’s darkest interventionist impulses. By escalating military action in Latin America and along the border, Pete Hegseth is embracing a policy that has already led to the killing of innocent migrants—men, women, and children whose only “crime” was seeking safety. Such brutality violates not only international norms but the core teachings of every major religious tradition.
No faith—Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Sikhism, Buddhism, or any other—permits the dehumanization of vulnerable people. The deliberate use of force against the powerless is a direct defiance of God’s laws, which command compassion, justice, and the protection of the stranger. To commit such acts for political gain is a moral disgrace of the highest order.
Those who enable or justify this barbarism will face a heavy price—not through violence, but through history’s judgment, the loss of public trust, and the moral reckoning that comes when leaders betray their own professed values.
America must reject this militarized cruelty. We need diplomacy, humanity, and policies rooted in justice—not a return to gunboat tactics and fear-driven politics.
