There are many people who post messages on this board full of anti Semitic venom and Jew hatred. Their reasoning is as flawed as their bigotry and their pathetic attempts to re create history in their skewed interpretations is laughable and demonstrative of their ignorance and jealousy. Bigots are pathetic losers, who seek to create artificial enemies for their own failures and shortcomings.
Genuine political disagreements can arise without prejudice, but those who hate Israel and Jews, are incapable of realpolitik and devoid of even a modicum of open mindedness. If they seek to hurt Israel through their inflamatory vomitous, let me tell you that they are wasting their time. I, and my fellow Israelis, will continue to defend our land and our people in any way we see fit and necessary. It is strangely disconcerting to see us accused of barbarity when we answer the deliberate targetting of our civilians with the demolition of empty houses and abandoned buildings. We evacuated the PA radio station before we destroyed it. Our F 16s bomb police stations in the night, when they are unoccupied and the Apaches target criminals, many of whom are on US provided lists to the PA, whom they refuse to imprison.
Our restraint is evident. Does anyone believe for a second that if we exercised the power at our disposal that a building would be left standing east of Jerusalem? Ramallah, Nablus, Kalkilya, Tul Karem, Jenin, Jericho, and Abu Sneineh would be parking lots by now. We do not target civilians deliberately, but if the terrorist savages choose to use their children as cannon fodder and their unarmed women as barricades from which to hide behind, their deaths are on their own heads. The Arabs have always displayed abject cowardice and a disregard for the lives of their own people-why else did the jordanians and thr Egyptians keep the refugees penned up behind barbed wire for 19 years?
When a rioter throws a stone at a soldier, that soldier will shoot to kill-rocks thrown through the air could just as easily be grenades. Savages fire automatic weapons at my men from behind their children, and a soldier will respond to enemy fire to save his life, the lives of his comrades, and to force an end to the aggression. An American soldier was shot and killed by a 14 year old youth in Afghanistan, US troops have told me about the Vietcong teens who killed their buddies-anyone who opens fire on my soldiers will be answered with fire. Use automatic weapons from static locations, and I will send tank shells through the doors and windows. Employ groves of trees and civilain homes as firebases, and I will burn the grove and bulldoze the house. I need not make any excuses in the defense of my country-neither would any other legitimate soldier of any nation.
Terrorists are beneath contempt-they target civilians deliberately, they hide behind their own families, they assault the decency of mankind and they deserve no quarter and no mercy. They have killed thoudsands of peace loving people who never did anything but live their lives, and the threat of Islamic fundamental extremism endangers not only Israel, but the western world. India, the Phillippines, America,and even Egypt and Jordan, are all targets of these international thugs.
I have been a soldier most of my life, fought on many battlefields, and i have killed men with ny bare hands, all in defense of my country. No one wants peace more than a combat soldier who has seen the filth and terror of war, but peace at any price is not peace, it is surrender. Jews no longer see suicide and death as viable options. After Auschwitz, there is nothing you bigots and lowlifes can scare us with.
So, Israel is a reality, whether you like it or not - the Jewish people will survive and prosper in their ancient homeland whether you like it or not - Israelis will continue to live our lives without succumbing to your attacks, and the Jewish people will survive as we always have, with pride, with honor, and with courage.
Continue your fecal diatribes against us, because they display your mental disabilities. I'm sure that one of your ilk will answer this letter with another of your inanities, and I will sit here and laugh. In the words of my people, AM ISRAEL CHAI-THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL LIVE! "
