Israel Defends itself – The Anti-Semitic World Disdains Israel Self-Defense
After years of not responding to missile attacks from Hamastan (Gaza) Israel has finally embarked on what any other nation would do – DEFEND ITSELF.
I heard a great analogy by Benjamin Netanyahu on Fox News this morning. I’m afraid the best I can do is paraphrase the analogy from memory so if you heard the same thing rest assured my interpretation of Netanyahu’s analogy is at least close to the original.
First of all let me say this. Netanyahu was incredibly placed in a position in which he had to defend the Israeli attacks on Muslim Arabs that have the sole desire only to destroy the Land of Israel.
Eventually Netanyahu gave this analogy to the Fox News interviewer concerning Israel’s increasingly upgrade of the intensity of self-defense.
Netanyahu eventually added something like this:
Having Hamas directly south of Israel shooting missiles at Israeli civilian is like America tolerating a hostile al-Qaeda camp just outside of New York City.
America would Ruby Ridge that al-Qaeda camp if it existed outside of New York City. Although I suspect survivalists would join whatever American authority in blasting radical Muslims off of American soil.
I came across a post from Publius’ Forum that shares my shared mystification that the Times Online is more concerned about Obama’s Foreign Policy goals affected by Israel protecting itself from the murdering Muslim Hamastanis.
The Times should be reporting that even as Israel is coming down harshly for Hamas missiles being launched on the Land, Hamas is continuing to launch missile at population centers and NOT Israeli military targets.

The lack of distinction between Israelis and Jews is the core of that garbage... Israelis do not represent all the Jews of the world no matter what they like to think. The fact that the Palestinians as a people hate the "Jews" that is the Israeli-Jews, the only ones they know, is simply a red herring.
It is true that to extinguish an entire nation the way many of them wish to is an act of genocide, but that doesn't make another atrocity against them anymore acceptable, particularly when Israel has gone great lengths to foster that hatred. And why not? They profit from it greatly. In some eyes, no matter what the Israelis do they can do no wrong. I've seen blogs that suggest the Palestinian people are nothing less than a hand of Satan, others that suggest they deserve the extinction that supposedy all of them want for Israel.
That's just great. Genocide for genocide, right?
You realize that you painted a picture that the whole supports racist murdering Islamic Arab terrorists, right?
Even if Israel does not represent global Judaism, the State was created by the secular West because of the guilt of thousands of years of anti-Semitism, i.e. Western hatred of Jews globally. That hatred within Western governments caused the death of six million Jews by the end of 1945 and the Allied victors of WWII looked the other way while Nazi Germans were executing a final solution for the "Jewish Problem."
The primary reason so-called Palestinian Arabs hate Israeli Jews (secular and religious and Left and Right) is because Arab Muslims were taught hate by early 20th century Muslim bigots like the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and Hassan al-Banna. Prior to these Muslims (who actually following the true tenets of Islam) Muslim and Jews lived in near harmony together in the land dubbed Palestine (English) by the Romans to remind rebellious 1st century Jews of one their Biblical enemies - the Philistines.
Certainly returning Jews and current Israeli citizens of the nation built in the 20th century as a haven for Jews to live without the old world of racist persecution did and do not sit idly by as Muslims vow to take a land that was barren and nearly unpopulated of Muslims compared to other lands of Arab habitation. The Muslims of old Palestine benefited from Western Jews reconstituting the land of their origin and making it productive.
As in the early days of old Palestine and the current Israel, retribution for Muslim atrocity against Jews was harsh. The Jews of old Palestine and the current Israel have no intention or desire to exact a Holocaust on Muslims; however the Muslims make no bones about their desire to be the perpetrators of a SECOND HOLOCAUST of Jews residing in Israel.
Inside Passage you have been duped by Islamic terrorist propaganda which is meant to engender the perception of so-called Palestinian victimization. That victimization is a myth as I wrote in a prior comment. Invading Arab armies created the refugee camps after their fellow Arabs fled the new Israel to avoid the expected mass bloody genocide of Jewish/Israeli losers; however a tiny nation which is even still a speck on a map defeated six invading Islamic Armies that surround the Land Israel. These unaccountable invaders purposely chose to keep the Arabs later to be called Palestinians as refugees with the first reasoning providing a reason to keep invading Israel. Later the Arab geniuses decided to organize the refugees into terrorists so their hapless armies would not be used and that a propaganda machine victimized Palestinians. The West has fallen for this propaganda.
There is no Palestinian nation, there are Arabs that can easily be matriculated among their own brethren which inhabits an ocean compared to the pond of Israel.
To heap further insult on injury, you blame those that supposedly gave them the gift for the Holocaust. That was Hitler, the Nazi party and Germany. Worse, you insult the millions that died in addition to the Jews. Let us not forget those who fought and ultimately freed them for that persecution, and the others that were subjugated beside them. Guilt? I don't expect gratitude, but blaming everyone else for it is just plain.... wow. What the frack.
While it is true that conflict predates the creation of Israel, it should not be forgotten that the attack on Israel itself spawns from its creation. Why should people who were not born in those lands have any right whatsoever to demand a homeland there? Oh yes, some of that land was allocated by the Mandate to the jews of that time, but the jews of the holocaust? They're not the same people.
Don't speak of the "returning" Jews. That Israel has been dead for centuries.
Oh, and on the subject of insults, you compare the attack on Israel to a second Holocaust. Nations are not races, no matter how much the Israelis would like to pretend that their country is special just because they only allow Judaism to predominate. No country is that special so much so that they have some ridiculous "right" to exist where others do not. The Holocaust was an attempt to extinguish not a single country, but an entire race. Suggesting that the attack on Israel is the same is an insult in the way it belittles the suffering the Jewish people suffered. The Palestinians aren't looking for a world-wide campaign to exterminate the Jewish people, they want Israel gone. The only way that's going to happen is by destroying Israel.
While the death of the Israeli people would constitute an atrocity, it's not genocide anymore than it's genocide to kill the Palestinian people. And yes, it's important to remember that the Palestinian people are not all jihadists and suicide bombers in training. There was a time, a mere two generations ago when the two were able to live in relative peace, and if both sides were to make an honest attempt, that could happen again. Neither side is honest enough.
Speaking of the Israelis, how do Muslims benefit from them making the land productive? It's -their- land, the Muslims are not permitted to share it. In fact, should they have the misfortune to share a home with a terrorist, it's a good possibility their home will be razed and they end up in a tent. Benefit?
Islamic terrorist propaganda is that the Israelis and the USA are responsible for all the ills of the middle east and should be extinguished. Yeah, that includes me. According to them, I must die. Hey, guess what, I haven't bought into that, or we wouldn't be having this conversation. The fact that I may agree with them on some points doesn't mean I think their goals are right, NOR does it mean I've bought into their propaganda.
The idea that all Palestinians are equally guilty and therefore cannot be victims is not just a myth, but an outright lie. It's demonization of an entire people for the convenience of conscience, and the sickest kind of thinking. It's the same thinking the terrorists adhere to when they talk about how all the Israelis should die.
Those invaders that you spoke of are irrelevant. They clearly don't have anyone's best interests in mind but their own. I seem to recall that upon Israel's founding, they went to war... and ended up finishing that war happily dividing the spoils (Palestinian territories) between themselves and Israel. No, I'm not talking about the Six-Day war that you seem to think is somehow relevant. Do not assume that all of those refugees are the whole of the Palestinian population. That's wrong, and I think you know that, if you're as familiar with their roots as you pretend to be.
As for the Palestinian nation, of course there's not one. It cannot be allowed, because it would force Israel into a situation where they could actually be held legally accountable for their actions.
Another thing that's important to remember. The idea of Palestinians being "those Arabs" is garbage. They are not people of Jordan, Syria, Egypt or any of those countries. Those Arabs are NOT their brethern, as any day of news on sectarian violence will tell you.
In the beginning there were Palestinian Muslims and Palestinian Jews. The jews took their independence and became Israel. The Palestinian Muslims did not cease to exist, and they have every bit as much right to those lands that the Israelis do, and in some cases MORE, when you consider that they were there before the majority of the modern-day Israeli population.
