about the fact that a bunch of Americans were killed in the latest Palestinian violence against Israel?

These were people ,living amongst the Israelis, indistinguishable from the native population. They were treated the same as any other Israeli by the attackers….who likely didn’t care who they were.

Are we hearing about the english, the French, the Finns, etc that were killed (If there were any)…..why should their citizenship be a factor? (Likely the “Americans” were dual citizens anyway) They were living as, and acting as, Israelis.

Or am I missing something? It isn’t like Hamas specifically targeted “Americans”….or had targeted an embassy or something.

The Usual Suspects doing what they do.

Why do people always think we are criminals???

Here

and

Here

It’s a trend….

Thing is, only the foreign press shows us the truth about the suspects….funny that.

Canadian Broadcasting Corporation tells its reporters NOT to call Hamas ‘terrorists’ in their coverage, leaked emails show

Best to put those atrocities in a good light, doncha know, dere….

in “Condition White“?

The civilians, I can sorta understand. They relaxed and failed to appreciate the danger. Sheep are like that. They relax and forget the danger.

But the intelligence agencies? The Army and IDF and the police? Were they all asleep at the switch? Or (as has been implied) is there something else going on?

While the attack is purely Palestinian, and the blame for the deaths lie with them, one has to ask, where were the watch-dogs? That border is one of, if not the most, heavily surveilled and sensored fences/walls in the world. Where were the folks tasked to monitor and defend it? Something ain’t right.

But the Palestinians are still on the hook for the deaths and destruction, no matter who fell down on the job.

Doing the Usual Things

Cue the whinings about “Food Deserts” and “no one will invest in our community”…..

Plus this one too.

So the world, including the US Government, is saying that Isrel needs to make sure that it’s response to the Hamas attacks is “Proportionate “.

“Israel is entitled to defend itself, that’s clear. However, it has to be proportionate. They cannot go in and do the same thing, they need to watch what they’re doing as well”.

Anyone who says that has never been in a fight….likely lived a very sheltered existence. We obviously have different definitions of “Proportionate”…This isn’t a football game or a boxing ring….

Proportionate? For invading a sovereign country that attacked during a time of peace, whose fighters mercilessly killed innocent civilians, Indiscriminately raped and tortured people?

You want a proportionate response? I’d nuke the whole fucking bunch of animals to glass. Every single person in the Gaza strip. Not because they participated in the fighting directly, but because they hid, sheltered and aided and abetted the fighters. Let them arm and assemble themselves. And are hiding them afterwards. If you do that, you too are the enemy.

And you should expect a response that is indeed “proportionate”…..

Were I Israel, I’d raze the Gaza strip to the ground. Push every single “Palestinian” into the sea.

Are many innocent? Perhaps. But at the end of it, thousands of “Militants” gathered, staged equipment, assembled and fired hundreds of rockets, and executed their attack from that strip of land, and the residents didn’t even bother to make a phone call to alert the intended victims.

When there is a rabid dog in the neighborhood, one hunts it down and shoots it.

It is possible that many “Palestinians” want to live in peace….but they aid those who don’t.

There is only one way to have peace when the other side desires war. The Left will whine, but that’s the only way.

That the rest of the Middle East wants them dead.

There’s the attack by Hamas in Israel itself, and then there’s things like this:

Egypt: police officer shoots dead two Israeli tourists and Egyptian guide

Make no mistake: If a police officer is willing to do this openly, then the rest of the population is as well. While the cop may have been a radical, the sentiment is festering just below the surface. The fact that Jews are doing tourist things in a hostile country is telling of their failure to appreciate the threat.

Apparently the People of Israel have forgotten that they have enemies all around them, and that these people hate them because they are jews. Why else would you hold a music festival a mile from a hostile border without a major armed presence?? The Military  and police were apparently napping that day, and apparently the intelligence services have been for weeks or months. (how do conceal such a large operation?)

This is being referred to as the “Israeli 9-11.”..and it is, but only as an example of the intelligence failure compounded by the complacency which allowed it to happen….Just like in the US 9-11.

As long as the Palestinians feel that Israel is an enemy….why help them at all?

Act accordingly. Let them fend for themselves. Treat them as the enemies they wish to be.

Israel orders ‘complete siege’ of Gaza, cutting off food and electricity,

Let ’em fend for themselves get their own food and water and electricity. Thousands of Palestinians will die of starvation and from lack of water, but that will simply be fewer enemies, right?

They should do the same with the West Bank as well. They can get their food and water and electricity via Jordan, if that country cares enough.

Is “What caliber for Palestinian fighters?”

While I am not unsympathetic to the plight of the Palestinians, the thing is that NO ONE wants them. They’ve made nothing of themselves in all the years that they have been next to Israel, they’ve done nothing but foment trouble, they’ve been used as pawns by the other factions….and even before the Jews were emplaced they were never anything but half-assed goatherds….The regular people allow fighters to hide amongst them, then whine when there are civilian casualties…..they are unwanted by the Syrians, the Jordanians, and the Egyptians….either of which could have absorbed their population over the years……but they won’t.

And the Israelis aren’t innocent here, either…

Being surprised like this in a war zone is kinda foolish, doncha think?

If this isn’t a good example of why an armed civilian population is a Good Thing, then I don’t know what is.
