I come to thee for charitable licence, That we may wander oer this bloody field To book [count, identify] our dead, and then to bury them; Montjoy the herald in King Henry V
Respect for the dead has been a standard of warfare since the days of the Iliad, in which truces were often called and observed so both sides could retrieve and bury their dead comrades. The custom of firing a volley during a military funeral may have originated in the pike and shot era, when the volley signified that the soldiers had completed the funeral and were ready to resume combat.
This tradition and courtesy is reserved for soldiers as opposed to terrorists who ambush and murder civilians. Our position is accordingly that Israel should deliberately target the funerals of Hamas terrorists with cluster bombs and similar munitions whose purpose is to kill as indiscriminately as possiblenoting that many Hamas members will doubtlessly be present to have their limbs blown off and their bodies ripped apart. Israel needs to make it clear that it does not recognize terrorists as soldiers or even as human beings, a point that the famous firearm instructor Jeff Cooper made clear by using the word goblins to refer to enemies of civilized Humanity. The following shows what Colonel Cooper might call the right mindset.
The goblins do not hijack El Al. Not any more. Some years ago two pirates attempted to take over an Air Iberia flight from Madrid to Rome. The passengers killed them, the stewardesses covered them up with blankets, and opened the bar. [What is Spanish for "Now comes Miller Time?"] More recently a troll seized a girl in a Philippine bank, doused her with gasoline, and threatened to burn her if he was not given all the ready money. The customers not only beat him to death, they actually dismembered him!
This is how the Israeli military, and indeed Israeli civilians, need to treat the goblins. Put them down and put a round through each ones head to make sure or, if no firearm is available, slam ones heel into each ones head (aim inside the head and not at its surface) until it stops moving. When its family tries to bury it, it had better do so in secret unless it wants an IAF plane to drop a bomb and solve even more problems. Goblins are not human beings with human rights, they are things to be exterminated like the menaces to civilization they are.
Hamas leader rejects talks with Israel reinforces this position
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip The top Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip rejected compromise with Israel in a fiery speech Wednesday, a day after gunmen killed four Israelis in a strong reminder that the Islamic militant group cannot be ignored in any Mideast deal.
Hamas has claimed responsibility for Tuesdays shootings, a vivid reminder that the Iranian-backed group may be locked out of the peace negotiations but remains a key player in determining their outcome.
Fine; they reject compromise and admit their guilt, so kill them on sight and kill them to the last man. We would in fact go so far as to encourage the IDF and groups of armed Israeli civilians to hunt and kill them for sport. Israel needs to traumatize Hamas, and the United States Al Qaida, to the point where the survivors will be glassy-eyed shells of human beings who cringe if even one word is spoken in Hebrew or English respectively. Terrorists understand only the most basic argument of the most savage primate, i.e. a club over the head, and that argument needs to be made as frequently and forcefully as necessary to break the cycle of violence.
Don’t waste good Ribs and Bacon...Bury them with Pig Blood and Pig Waste....
Though incorrectly assigned to General Pershing during the Philippine Insurrection, some of his subordinate commanders effectively ended most of the hostilities with the Muslim Moro pirates, by convincing them of the error of their ways.
One of them did this by bringing a group of condemned Moros to an open pit. Then half of them were executed and thrown into the pit. Then several dead pigs were thrown atop them, prior to burial. The survivors were then freed, and told to return to their side, and to tell them what they had witnessed.
While this was effective, another subordinate ordered that several Moros be hung by the neck, after having been sewn into pig skins. And there they remained, somewhat like giant footballs, for the public to see.
While there was still sporadic fighting for some years, the rebellion as an organized force, was over.
If I have any problem with Israel it is that they have been too kind to these two legged cockroaches. Invade their countries kill their leaders, make Islam illegal.
