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.

The Pain that is now being SHARED by blue states has caused them to “Buckle”.

First New York City, (with Chicago not too far behind)

Now Denver has folded, sending flyers asking the illegal border crossers to “stay away from the Colorado capital, after 21,000 new migrants arrived this year” and that “Denver ‘can no longer provide the same level of sheltering resources to newly arriving persons.”

Now if the Border Patrol will just start doing their job, then the insane flow of people invading our country might just stop. Of course, that means no cutting the barriers that keep people from simply walking across the border, and actually enforcing that border…which the Border Patrol Personnel seem to have been ordered not to do…..

At some point, we need to start shipping these illegal entrants back across the border into Mexico, If we did that the Mexican Government would stop them from coming over THEIR southern border….’Cause they don’t want to have to house and feed these people either.

Despite the dreams of the Democrats, the US simply cannot feed, house and employ all these people wishing to live here in the US. If they were as the Liberals say, a net asset to the country, then they’d have been an asset to the countries they are leaving….and they wouldn’t be the shitholes that they are. I’m sure living as a refugee in the US beats a serf in Venezuela, but that is their country, and we can’t feed house and otherwise take care of all those freeloaders.

So Mayor Adams, of New York City, says “the city is at capacity” after getting 120 thousand illegal invaders bussed or otherwise transported from the Southern Border States to NYC…..in the past YEAR. “It’s not sustainable”

Now, consider that at some places in the US, on the border, there have been as much as 10,000 illegals crossing the border in as little as a week…..aided and abetted in their crossing by “Border Patrol” personnel under orders from Washington…(border patrol, what a joke)

I find the disparity in numbers amusing. 125,000 vs tens of thousands…..and the whining  from the leader of a “Sanctuary City” is downright hilarious.

I was told by a guy, who appeared to be smarter than me…,:

That the whole Open Border thing has been a dream of democrats since the mid 70’s and he pointed out that that was the time that a young, impressionable Joe Biden began his senate career. Joe was a supporter of the 1986 immigration (amnesty) act…..That was supposed to be a one-time amnesty to allow all the current illegals in the country to become citizens…but also to close the border and cut off the flow of illegals……But that didn’t happen, did it? The borders remained open, and the flow of illegals continued, and the Democrats continued the dream of open borders

Now, of course, that Joe is President, we are seeing him do his best to make sure that that dream comes true.

I couldn’t argue with the dude….

(Of course, now they are building the border wall (a tiny, tiny bit of it) and deporting some of the illegals, but neither is more than a symbolic gesture to the mess they have created)….Their dream is still happening.
