the world will never learn the lesson of “never again!” until the Jews do
you’ll continue to be attacked over and over again until you eliminate the enemy from your land and its environs
period. end of file.
Well Amen to that. That is exactly what the US Military needs. A thorough purge of progressives and a renewed focus on combat leadership.
The problem is that we are fighting for the “hearts and souls” of the people. That’s almost impossible task, especially when some terrorist demagogue points out the “foreign occupiers”.
Even if we convince most of the people, Hearts and souls are useless against brute force!
War should be fought fast and decisive. Rules, such as the one we are allowed to shoot only when shot at, are recipe for defeat!
Israel is stacked top to bottom with suicidal Jewish Palestinian muslim apologists. Its a wonder they survived the Simon Peres years when blowing up deserts was the best they could manage in response to rocket and mortar attacks. Now the suicidal urge is kicking in again when the IDF plans a major operation without ground troops, and continues to warn their sworn enemies that they are a target. There is not a person in Gaza - man woman child - that would not gladly die to kill just one Jew.
Israel has stopped winning and hence has started losing.
Israel keeps winning all the battles but the war goes on.
The problem Israel has is they are too moral to fight total war. The problem their enemies have is Israeli warfighters and technology are just plain better. Oh yeah and at the end Jehovah has their back.
To the warfighter point: Ever sparred with an Israeli combat instructor? I have. Let’s just say it was humiliating for me (and I have 30 years of martial arts - not the junk ones but useful ones - under my belt). It wasn’t even close. Don’t think I have ever been hit that hard - and he was pulling his punches. Only one who hit me near as hard was a US Marine combat instructor. Another humiliating exercise.
The goal of war is to get your enemy to quit fighting.
The process of war has to be total war that includes all fighters and civilians.
Obviously, neither side wants to end this war. To do so would mean making Israeli citizens out of the millions of arabs that live in Israel.......
That citizenship means voting rights, elections, and.....being able to serve in the Israeli Defense Forces.
The Israelis need, once again, to annihilate the Philistines.
The concept of total war has been discarded since WW2. And it actually ends up making things worse. Scipio Africanus understood total war.
Gen Sherman’s Civil War march to the sea.
War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen, and I say let us give them all they want.
