Yeah, sure, kill and destroy your enemy, except they’re going to do a half assed measure that’s going to to be worse than doing nothing. They’d be better off staying home and hoping the next rocket doesn’t hit their house.
“a great miracle happened here”
Some go to great lengths to make themselves a target. If this is my neighbor, he's in trouble, real trouble. If this is my brother, he is too.
Better that people would learn to live in peace with each other. Failing that, those that provoke a defensive response must be willing to accept responses of every kind and likewise, be willing to tolerate the consequences.
Mankind is generally accomodating with forces it can't control. It adapts. However, incivility isn't one of them. What we must accept is: some will offend, and we must respond appropriately. I have fought with my brothers in the past and today, we are better for it. The limits were tested and found.
Peace in the Middle East will come when both sides respect each other. Nothing spells 'respect' like a fist in the mouth. Israel may be small, but I'm certain she can pack a punch. And this is what's needed.
This is nothing more than classic abuse. And Israel, the smaller of the two, must act to protect itself from it's Arab agressor.
Were my sister being abused by her husband, I'd intervene. Depending upon the abuse, I'd provide her with the means to defend herself even if it meant giving her a gun to shoot the SOB. That's right.
The hatred that exists between the Arab and Jew could be overcome, but it would take much counseling. That, or a savior.
Mankind has much to learn. He is not alone and may need the help of others. He must learn that such help may come from his supposed 'enemies'. He must ultimately learn that his survival is dependent upon all. And finally, he must learn that he doesn't make the plans, he is simply a part of the plan, something he may never comprehend.
a great (gadol) miracle (nes) was (haya) here (po). Outside Israel we say Nes Gadol Haya Sham, a great miracle happened there.
The weak defeated the strong, the few defeated the many, the good defeated the wicked.
Lets Hope Netanyahu gets back in there and cleans house.
These maniacs only understand one thing..the point of the spear. They can talk till they are blue in the face and nothing happens.
No country anywhere in the world would turn the other cheek while its citizens are being repeatedly bombarded.
Kill them all and let Allah sort out the keepers, before they kill us. Convert or die as they say....they understand that...its in the Koran.
