A Moral War (Time For Good Men To Support Israel's Right Of Self Defense Alert)

The IDF is waging a moral war in Gaza. There can be no search for peace as long as Israel remains under the enemy's attack. The Left should stop bashing Israel and start telling the Palestinians to stop the violence. As quoted from Edmund Burke in the editorial: "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Its time for good men to do something: support the right of self-defense for the world's only Jewish State!

Why does being a "Jewish State" make them needful of special consideration?

I hope they kick the terrorist's butts but being Jews cuts no especial ice with me.

[Tax-chick]

Okay, I support Israel’s right of self defense. How did that help?

[Tax-chick]

I agree. Every country has the “right” to survive or die trying, if it chooses to exercise the “right.”

[goldstategop]

Alone out of all of mankind, it is a right Jews have but in name only and even at that granted only begrudgingly. A right of self defense that exists only by the forbearance of others is in truth no right at all!

Well said!

A right of self defense that you choose to lay down is your own fault. Israel has weapons, it can use them. Who's going to actually stop them, rather than just nattering about it?

I am thoroughly convinced that Israel has a right of self-defense, and should be exercising it, as they are now. However, what did you have in mind? How do we translate that into shutting down Hamas,Hezbollah, Al Qaida, and similar organizations?

[goldstategop]

They're using it. And thanks to the U.S, the useless UN's attempt to rescue Hamas is going nowhere.

[goldstategop]

Its a Long War. Its not going to end any time soon. The U.S is not going to eradicate Al Qaeda and Israel is not going to eradicate Hamas. The wars with Islam are destined to go on forever, as long as this world exists.

Israel faces a bleak future once Comrade Urkle takes control.

No, they are the same as everyone else. In geopolitical affairs there can be no favorites.

A right of self defense that exists only by the forbearance of others is in truth no right at all!

They are as capable of defense as they make themselves.

I hope they kick the terrorist's asses, but they get no special consideration due to religion.

I'm not Jewish.

I own no land in Israel.

Good on them that they are moving against the terrorists but they ain't my country.

[Tax-chick]

And I’m cheering them on, for what it’s worth. I have to say I’d cheer harder, though, if people would post more pictures of Bibi, like they’re SUPPOSED TO!

[Larousse2]

How about "The Birth of a Nation"?

[Nuc1]

Israel, go kick their @ss and don't ask permission. Just do it.

[Tax-chick]

That’s pretty good.

I've been looking for statistics on how many people are killed in "Jihad" attacks. I found this site. If anyone knows of any more please show the way. Don't let the title of this link mislead you.

I support giving the IAF B52s or B2 bombers. I also support bombing Gaza into duct and selling the surviors into slavery{well maybe not the whole selling people into slavery part, but you get the point, right?}

[budwiesest]

The two people quoted in the article are perfect examples of the common non-sense that passes for common sense. It makes no sense but it is held 'collectively' like a fad.

People of the World holding hands, living in peace and harmony. Imagine. Trouble is, it's a sucker's bet. Common sense tells you human nature is unpredictable and cannot be taken for granted.

Acts of violence must be responded to- and quickly at times. I don't care how upside-down the logic from the left is, Israel has every right to smack any punk-ass who fires rockets at their civilians, down. And hard, 'cause anything less may not get their attention and they may continue to offend. Call it Global Tough Love.

[Tax-chick]

you get the point, right

I do. I think the Israelis should tell our government to pound sand, though, and buy bombers from somewhere else.
