Hamas-sacre

The whole world thinks that Israel should stop killing poor, defenseless, Arab children in the Gaza Strip. Or at least the Western Liberal press does. But strangely, the Arab world, while calling for a cease fire and Israeli withdrawal, has been conspicuous by its criticism of Hamas for starting this little bout of slaughter. So who is right?

The unquestioned facts are that Hamas, far from being peaceable, have lived up to their pledges in the election of a couple of years ago and have sought to kill as many Israelis as possible. The have, conservatively, sent over 6,000 missiles over the fence to try and do as good a job of killing as possible. Now remember, Israel was meant to have security and peace by handing over Gaza to the Palestinians ... everyone told them so, and in particular, Liberals from America and Europe told Israel that this was essential. So Israel tried it. Looks like those evil, hawks in the Likud were right: the great unwashed was and is still stinky.

So Israel did what any self-respecting nation would do when a foreign enemy shoots 6,000 rockets at it: it attacked. Now, our wonderful Liberal news media around the world have portrayed the Israeli attack as barbaric ... those nasty Jews killing children, bombing hospitals, demolishing places of worhip. The Left forgets to mention that those spots are where the rockets are being stored and launched from. You see, Hamas cares not at all about the deaths of its citizens ... they are martyrs and useful props: you see the broken body of a child lifted from the rubble of a school and there is not a parent that will not rise in anger and revulsion as well as sympathy for the grief of the family of the dead.

But the anger is misplaced: the very parents of those children elected Hamas, they sent their kids to schools that are nothing better than weapons depots, launching sites and terror factories and condone the slaughter of innocent Israeli children. The rightful target of anger and fury is the government of the Palestians that have created this disaster, this tragedy. Why does the BBC not explain that Israel is merely sending ordnance back to the site from which the missile is being launched. Follow the smoke trail. We (and the Israelis) now have radar that can identify with great accuracy where a basketball is thrown in the air ... let alone a rocket.

And Israel has the courage to go after the weapons that kill Israelis ...we Americans are milksops that refuse to blow to smithereens the Mosque from which the Taliban shoot at our troops, or Moqtada el Sadr's thugs do their evil from. The crazy ones are not the Israelis ... we are. And we are afraid of those pictures of dead children, killed because some Mullah correctly calculates that we do not have the stomach for conflict. And the dead are U.S. soldiers instead.

So think about this rationally: picture one dead Palestinian or Afghan child lying on the ground, dead because his house was destroyed because his father kept IEDs there. Now picture a dead U.S. Marine on the ground, shot in the head by a Taleban sniper hiding in a Mosque. Which offends you more? IT may well be that you are more offended by the dead child ... in which case you likely live in Cambridge and voted for Deval Patrick. You likely think that we Americans should not be there and that the Twin Towers was our fault, or even a CIA plot to get us into war (the Rosie O'Donnell / Sean Penn thought stream). But for my part, that Marine was someone's child too, there to root out a culture that enslaves women, beheads unbelievers or Christians, promotes warfare against my right to self determination (Al Qaeda training camps) and wants me dead. The Marine died protecting me.

If you cannot see that Radical Islam IS the threat -- and one that Israel faces every day in the form of Hamas (paid for by Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia and ... China(!!??)) then, you are indeed blind and/or stupid.
