Frankly, We No Longer Give a Damn
Primetime Politics ^ | 3/6/08 | Stephen J. Kohn

Posted on 03/06/2008 10:43:45 AM PST by moderatewolverine

We Israelis have been listening too long to sanctimonious words urging us to be proportionate, measured, and cautious. Whether it was during the intifada when suicide belted homicidal maniacs bombed our restaurants and buses or whether today when the more cowardly homicidal maniacs blindly launch rockets into our cities, the comments of allies and critics alike to “tone it down” have lost their meaning to us. One small town and now one larger city, and any field and farm near Gaza is under attack—and even one rocket is too many, let alone thousands.

There is always some rationalization about why Israel is at fault or why retaliating is in error or why the necessity to try to defend ourselves is exaggerated. Rockets launched against the southern part of Israel should not have mandated a call for Israel to exercise self-control but for an immediate cessation of hostilities by our enemies. We have been gullible imbeciles to have tolerated these totally unprovoked attacks until now. No nation would have tolerated what we have—particularly since we voluntarily left Gaza. And, our current (nonexistent) occupation of Gaza is Hamas’ supposed justification for firing these unguided missiles.

I’m with the Israeli, and Condileeza Rice, to our shame, is the worst of the advisors.

Sooner or later, the world is going to have to give the muzzies the jihad they so desperately want.

Well, if folks from Cuba were launching unguided missles into Florida or sending suicide bombers into restaurants, I’m guessing we wouldn’t tone down our response. :)

Israel can’t afford to play political games. She’s in a survival situation, and I for one wish her luck and good hunting.

Plan of action for Israel:
1) Invade gaza.
2) round up all pali’s, stick them on busses and ship them to the west bank.
3) Annex gaza.
4) give up an equal size chunk of land adjacent to the west bank along the lebannon border.
5) declare the new west bank / lebannon border area the independent nation of palestine, with all rights and responsibilites of an independent nation.
6) next time the bastards rocket a city or town, it is now an attack by an independent nation upon an independent nation. kill the bastards in their sleep.

If the pali’s do not want to voluntarily assume the responsibilites of an independent member of the worlds nations, FORCE IT UPON THEM.

I am with this guy, Israel needs to tell us, the USA, to stuff it. Condi needs to keep her mouth shut or to bring the Palistinians to task. This crap of everyone putting the blame on Israel is idiotic and tells me they really don’t want peace, they want Israel to take it up the a** and not say anything, that way it will give the apperance of peace without actually having to do anything about the real perps, the muslims. Bush should be slapped down for this crap, we can fight terrorists when we are attacked but the Israelis can’t. BS.

The treatment of Israel in the UN is simply unconscionable.
I wish someone would write a decent history on it sometime.

Yep! If anyone were to start launching rockets toward US territory, they would be dead before the 3rd salvo.

Enough already with the “measured” responses. Bomb Gaza to rubble, & cut off ALL utilities permanently. The so-called Palestinians are a corrupt & immoral society. They act like rabid dogs - let them die like rabid dogs.

The idea that Israel could EVER live in peace with these “people” is beyond the imagination of anyone but fools or liars.
