“Bring them Home” is wrong. Here’s why"

Learning of the demonstration at the Kerem Shalom crossing between Israel and Gaza caused a light bulb to suddenly go off in my head. Finally, a demonstration was happening in the right place! Not in Tel Aviv in front of the IDF headquarters HaKirya, not in various cities around the country. Not in front of Bibi’s home in Caesaria or his office in Jerusalem. No.

Next to the point at which hundreds of trucks pass into Gaza to give "humanitarian" aid to Hamas (under the guise of giving it to the Gazan people, and the quotation marks are for those who think the word "human" is inapplicable) while they have a stranglehold on Israel over the hostage issue -- THAT is the right place to demonstrate.

At that moment, I understood that the “Bring them Home” slogan is all wrong.

It should be: “Let my People Go.”

“Bring them Home” makes it appear as if Israel is the only relevant actor. Perhaps that seems reasonable when we remember the dramatic rescues of the past: how Israel brought the Entebbe hostages home and airlifted Yeminite and Ethiopian Jews to safety in Israel. Some may remember the failed attempt to bring the IDF soldier Nachshon Waxman home in 1994 after he was abducted and held by Hamas.

"LET MY PEOPLE GO".. Exodus 5:1

[forYourChildrenVote4Bush]

Israel has shown the world how weak they really are

American intervention has pushed Israel to the brink

Israel has had years to pull away from American policy control by manufacturing their own munitions and haven’t. Shame on Israel , for a people who are supposed to be geniuses they are pretty dumb

America will see more and more countries building their own munitions, no more cash for American military companies

I see America losing influence around the world slowly.

The dollar will eventually lose dominance

They have become slaves to the US and the World, and as soon as they decide that the only one that can, or will save them is God Almighty, just as it was in the days of the Exodus. Not all of the Israelites left Egypt. Many stayed. But the ones that left with Moses became Israel. So, I say, “Let My People Go”. Israel has been given the land. Now they must possess it. Not the UN, US, or the rest of the world.

Iranian terrorist groups are hitting, killing, and injuring US forces
some 170 times to date in order to get America to drop its military
and financial support of Israel and to coerce a cease-fire in Gaza.......

It will be rather difficult for any govt to pressure Israel into “negotiating,”
since Israel has munitions and weaponry to destroy Hamas entirely on their own.

There’s Biden’s 2023 arms handout to Israel:
<><>57,000 155mm artillery shells
<><>more than 5,000 Mk82 unguided or “dumb” bombs,
<><>more than 5,400 Mk84 2,000 pound warhead bombs,
<><>around 1,000 GBU-39 small diameter bombs,
<><>approximately 3,000 JDAMs, which turn unguided bombs into guided “smart” bombs,
<><>BLU-109 bunker busters w/ 2,000 pound warheads designed to penetrate concrete shelters.

There’s Obama’s $38 billion deal that covers fiscal years 2019-2028 that includes:
<><>-annual US payments to Israel of $3.3 billion in “military financing,”
<><>-$500 million a year for Israel’s missile defense operations in the Negev, a foreign aid first,
<><>-A phasing-out of Israel’s decades-long “special arrangement”
<><>ie. Israel used 26.3% of US aid on its own global defense industry (not on US-made weapons).
<><>-Eliminates Israel using some 13% of US aid to buy military fuel.
<><>-will allow Israel to update “the lion’s share” of its fighter aircraft,
<><>includes purchasing additional F-35 Joint Strike Fighters.
<><>Israel is to initially receive thirty-three F-35 aircraft,
<><>the first two F-35’s will be delivered in December.

The (a) weaponry build-up from Obama 2018 into 2028, (b) follows the $30 billion weaponry deal Israel signed in 2007, which expires at the end of fiscal 2018, and (c) a systematic buildup of Israeli arms, like this one in 2015.
