Israel Tears For Palestine Child

Jerusalem----May 21......More tears of grief can be heard coming from the Middle-East this evening. Another innocent child was killed. Four-year-old Mohammed Aman's life was gone in a blazing flash as an Israel Defense Forces missile assassinated a senior Islamic Jihad terrorist.
Who's to blame for this crime? We can look at the monstrous soldiers of the Israel Occupation Forces, as the International Solidarity Movement, the PA and Arab media would describe it. After all, even Wikipedia, which censors Israel media, describes Islamic Jihad as a "militant" organization, not as a terror group.
Or we can take another look at Islamic Jihad which continues to hide behind children as they carry out terror attacks on Israel children. Islamic barbarians who embrace the "Satanic Verses" who use their own civilian population as human shields.
Either way, whether it is a Mohammed Aman or a Shalhevet Pass, children continue to die.
Israel Defense Minister Amir Peretz ordered the IDF this morning to carry out an investigation into the targeted killing of Islamic Jihad leader Muhammad Dadouh and Hanan Aman, 25, her five-year-old son and the child's grandmother. An investigation is a good idea. It says that Israel is humane. That we as Jews recognize something wrong happened.
But let's first take a closer look at the terminology being used. "Israel Occupation Forces" - it appears that no one bothered to tell the ISM or the Arab media that Israel painfully and unilaterally withdrawed from Gaza last summer. Also no mention of the Qassam rocket attack on a Sderot Israel school today.
Peretz stated: "Today a Qassam rocket fell on one of the schools in the Israel Negev desert town of Sderot and it is one of a large number of rockets fired in recent days. I am announcing unequivocally that we have no intention of compromising over Qassam rockets, and we certainly have no intention of letting up on those planning to escalate and fire Grad (Katyusha) rockets at the State of Israel. We will act with all means available to us."
The IDF said that in addition to several other attacks against Israel targets, Dadouh was personally involved in the firing of a Grad-type Katyusha rocket that fell near a Netiv Ha'asara farm last Tuesday. That attack was the third time Gaza terrorists fired a Katyusha. Security officials estimated that Islamic terrorists have between 10 and 20 of the Russian-made rockets, supplied by Iran and smuggled into Gaza via Sinai.
Meanwhile on the other side of the fence Abu Ahmed, the spokesman for Islamic Jihad's military wing said: "Today we have lost another hero, but, God willing, the Israeli government will drink the same bitter drink that Dadouh's family and our people have been swallowing for a long time."
So again, I ask where are we? Are we again witnessing a cyclic escalation of violence? No. What we are experiencing is Palestinians killing Palestinians. Palestinians who voted for Hamas rather than Fatah. Palestinians who voted for Hamas as a protest vote against corruption in Fatah only to get more blood spilled on their shirts. And less financial aid from the US, the EU and Israel in backing Hamas whose stated mission is to wipe Israel off the map.
The Israel Defense Forces will not send one soldier back into Gaza unless it needs to. Israel has seen enough blood. So we use hi-tech surveillance planes that can eliminate terror leaders with laser pinpoint accuracy.
To Hanan Aman's family, you have my sincere condolences. You have my tears.
No child, mother and grandmother should ever die in war. But please hear me when I say that Israel is not your enemy. It is the Islamic fanatics among you that we call terrorists. The "shieds" or "martyrs" who crave 72 virgins, Iran and Syria who use you as blind monkeys as Arafat used you.
I have young children. They should never know war as your children should never know war.
In the words of former Israel Prime Minister Golda Meir to Egypt President Sadat on his peace mission to Jerusalem: "I can forgive you for killing my boys, but I can never forgive you making our boys kill yours."
Today, Israel Defense Minister Peretz made clear that Israel security policies towards terror won't influence relations towards the Palestinian civilian population. "I plan on leading a policy which clearly distinguishes between the fight against terror and the effort to aid the Palestinian population. I certainly plan to do everything to ease conditions on the Palestinian population, but I have no intention of compromising on terror. The Palestinian population must understand that the unbearable situation in which it is in is primarily a result of the activities of those terrorists who are trying to harm the State of Israel."
In fact, the Israel Cabinet approved today the transfer of $11 million worth of medicine and health supplies to Palestine.
To those of you in what one day will be Palestine - seek work, understanding and compromise, cry out for trade and commerce with Israel, put down your guns, spit on Islamic suicide bombers, stop shooting at Israel children. Keep your kids alive. Remember Arafat who stole millions of dollars from you in EU aid, in casinos in Jericho. Hamas leadership is no less corrupt, no less evil.
Hamas wants blood. Your blood. General Intelligence PA Chief Tareq abu Rajab was wounded in a Hamas assassination attempt today. Your Palestine President Mahmoud Abbas, who chooses peace, dignity, a State of Palestine, prosperity and commerce over bombs and bullets ordered an inquiry be established to ‘‘investigate the assassination attempt against the head of general security Tareq abu Rajab ... and to punish those behind the assassination attempt’’.
Support Abbas. Support every effort to keep your kids safe and healthy in a peaceful and prosperous environment. Do not allow yourselves to be used by Hamas or Islamic Jihad as human shields for a Holy War - Jihad - which will only bring a flood of suffering and tears.
Choose democracy. Choose life.
Hamas does not cry this evening at the death of young Mohammed Aman. We in Israel do.

Besides, money talks and scheiss unsin walks. The Jews don't have enough oil wealth to make Europe like them.

---------------------------
The five year old and grandmother should be mourned. But blame should be assessed where it belongs, and terrorists should be killed at every opportunity.
The real murderer is the terrorist who was using innocents for human shields.
This must change, and change now!
It will accomplish nothing! Almost nobody in the world is going to think the Jews anything else but vampirical monsters, whatever the feelings of the Israelis after doing necessary operations (I listed the major exceptions to this rule in my first post). And didn't Basil Liddel Hart say that no one can defeat the enemy if they hold the enemy dear and cherish them? When the Russians fought and defeated the Germans, they did not spout such humanity. The enemy does have to be defeated afterall.
4 year old enemy ?
Of course it won't. They're hiding behind 4 year olds as we speak.
Dont you worry.... These terrorists will not be able to hide behind anyone. They will be found and killed no matter which of their civilians they use as a shield.
p.s. I really dig your turnspeak about Jews targeting four year olds since murdering civilians is a speciality of your Pali friends. I have to hand it to the Arabs for taking a propaganda idea that Joseph Goebbels invented during the Sudetenland controversy and running with it themselves as regards the Arab/Jewish war.
How many four year-olds do you think we killed in Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

My give-a-sh*t meter is busted all to Hades. It's SOP for Palestinian terrorists to hide behind civilians. Therefore, expect Palestinian casualties.
Strange... no tears for the Jewish babies slaughtered by the "Palestinians" [(tm), 1967]...
It's an exhortation to the Palestinian people. With Fatah and Hamas killing each other, and Al Queda getting into the mix, the only people who can fix the Palestinians problems now are the Palestinian people themselves.
Ultimately they are 4 million. The terrorists are only a few tens of thousands.
We in America always pride ourselves on the 2nd Amendment (well, most of us do), that ultimately if we ever get stuck in such a situation that we have the means to correct it. It's time for the Palestinian people to do the same. They need to do to Hamas what the Italians did to Mussolini after he wrecked their country.
Arafat stole millions while Palestinian children went hungry. The Palestinians then voted for Hamas to screw Fatah for its corruption. Palestinians need clean, democratic leadership. The US and EU should insert a temp government. And I am sure they have been trying. What we need to examine is why the US, Europe and moderate Mid-East countries have failed in doing so.
Lastly, I love FreeRepublic with its never ending and responsible warnings: "Loose lips sink ships." Makes ya feel like your back in uniform again. Great site! ;>
No. But they will like themselves better. And it's that regret for the killing of innocents that marks and will continue to mark Israel as the more moral nation in the struggle.
no..it simply makes me far less inclined to feel sympathy considering the Palestinians total disregard for human life, and in particular, Jewish life. I'll refer you to the murder of Shalhevet Pas by way of example.
