Why won’t Israelis let themselves be killed?

Two weeks ago Turkish forces launched a military assault in the Duhok region of Iraqi Kurdistan. Villagers were forced to ‘flee in terror’ from raining bombs. It was only the latest bombardment of the beleaguered Kurds by Turkey, NATO member and Western ally. It did not trend online. There were no noisy protests in London or New York. The Turks weren’t talked about in woke circles as crazed, bloodthirsty killers. Tweeters didn’t dream out loud about Turks burning in hell. The Onion didn’t do any close-to-the-bone satire about how Turkish soldiers just love killing children. No, the Duhok attack passed pretty much without comment.

But when Israel engages in military action, that’s a different story. Always. Every time. Anti-Israel fury in the West has intensified to an extraordinary degree following an escalation of violence in the Middle East in recent days. Protests were instant and inflammatory. Israeli flags were burned on the streets of London. Social media was awash with condemnation. ‘IDF Soldier Recounts Harrowing, Heroic War Story Of Killing 8-Month-Old Child’, tweeted The Onion, to tens of thousands of likes. Israel must be boycotted, isolated, cast out of the international community, leftists cried. Western politicians, including Keir Starmer, rushed to pass judgement. ‘What’s the difference?’, said a placard at a march in Washington, DC showing the Israeli flag next to the Nazi flag. The Jews are the Nazis now, you see. Ironic, isn’t it?

,b>This is the question anti-Israel campaigners have never been able to answer: why do they treat Israel so differently to every other nation on Earth? Why is it child-killing bloodlust when Israel takes military action but not when Turkey or India do? Why must we rush to the streets to set light to the Israel flag but never the Saudi flag, despite Saudi Arabia’s unconscionable war on Yemen? Why is it only ‘wrong’ or at worst ‘horrific’ when Britain or America drop bombs in the Middle East but Nazism when Israel fires missiles into Gaza? Why do you merely oppose the military action of some states but you hate Israel, viscerally, publicly, loudly?

Great question. They world has always asked “why don’t they be good little Jews and just bare their necks, so that we can get along with Our lives?” //Sarc// Maybe because God made a covenant with them? Jeremiah 32 says this: 37 I will surely gather My people from all the lands to which I have banished them in My furious anger and great wrath, and I will return them to this place and make them dwell in safety. 38 They will be My people, and I will be their God. 39 I will give them one heart and one way, so that they will always fear Me for their own good and for the good of their children after them.…

So, if God can break his covenant with them, then what makes Christians or other believers think that He can’t break the covenant that He made with them through Jesus Christ?

But that’s exactly what the suicidal left of Israel advocates ...

Well, when law abiding American citizens are arrested for defending themselves or their property from blm or antifa protests, it’s the same thing. People who don’t break the law are only law abiding because they are ‘privileged’. Those who are criminals are only criminals because they are oppressed by the privileged people. So, it is the right and duty of the designated ‘oppressed’ to destroy the lives and property of the privileged so that the privileged are either dead and can no longer oppress, or become oppressed criminals who help destroy the remaining privileged. It is the duty of the ‘privileged’, to allow this criminality, because they are evil incarnate for not being criminals. It’s something like that.

Why is it only ‘wrong’ or at worst ‘horrific’ when Britain or America drop bombs in the Middle East but Nazism when Israel fires missiles into Gaza?

While I agree that Israel is treated horribly here and now, there has been earlier 'media storms' involving the US and by our own media! Remember Abu Ghraib and the absolute pile-on deriving from it? Today it is almost forgotten because it worked to tar the Bush'43 Administration and efforts in Iraq.

For anyone who goes the anti-Israel route, I'd ask them what is the PUBLIC GOAL of Hamas in Gaza? How many times has Israel been threatened with annihilation in its 73 year modern history? How far is it from Gaza City to Jerusalem (48 miles) and how long for a rocket to fly? What is the goal of John Kerry's great Iranian friends in this conflict?

Argh, the STUPID, it burns!

***Why won’t Israelis let themselves be killed?***

This reminds me of what a German officer said about the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

“Why won’t they come out and let us exterminate them?”
