Posted by *sparrowhawk*<https://mail.google.com/community/member/user/189763525>on 2 Jun 2010 13:57 Israel hasn’t gone far enough. It should reoccupy Gaza, round up anyone associated with Hamas, the PLO, or any other terrorist gang, put them on trial, and in the meantime give the “poor” Palestinians a choice: become Israeli citizens, or leave. Among other things, Adrian Michaels wrote today in the Telegraph: “The over-reaction by the Israel Defence Forces is far harder to justify, but it is only the latest in a long line of dreadful mis-steps by Israel's administration.” Why is it harder to justify? Those soldiers were being beaten with pipes and other objects. They dropped from the helicopter thinking that the “activists” were passive hippies. It turns out these passengers came armed to the teeth. If they were so “peaceful,” why did they bring stun grenades and guns? It seems that even friends of Israel are falling for the propaganda being churned out by Hamas and by its friends in the mainstream media, that this flotilla was just delivering humanitarian supplies to Gaza. This was a PR move by Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, an organization dedicated to overthrowing Western civilization and replacing it with a global caliphate. Because Islamists cannot defeat any Western country militarily, one of its tactics is to play the “victim,” even though it and its subchapters (Hamas, Hezbollah, the PLO, al-Qada, the Taliban) are responsible for the deaths of thousands over the last 40 years in campaigns to intimidate and assimilate. And what is Gaza? Gaza is a place inhabited by tens of thousands of Arabs other Arab countries refuse to admit within their borders. It exists solely as a device to destroy Israel. It has no other purpose. It has been “governed” by gangs of killers. International money aid to it has been siphoned off by the killers and gangs to wage war against Israel; also, much of it has been skimmed by creatures like the late Arafat and deposited in Western bank accounts. Retirement funds, if you wish. Gaza is a result of a compromise between Egypt and Israel after the 1948 war, a war, I should remind readers, initiated by Arab countries to exterminate the newly formed state of Israel. That end still moves Israel’s enemies. Frankly, I don’t care what happens to the 1.5 million Palestinians in Gaza. They exist at the behest of those who plot to destroy Israel. Israel should stop apologizing for the dead “activists.” Its soldiers were attacked, and they finally shot back. The response of the Obama administration is disgraceful. Israel, after all, is not Islamic, and is not waging a stealth jihad against America, a jihad one of whose purposes is to win recognition of barbaric Sharia law as the law of the land. But then, President Obama hates his own country, so that’s not news. Have no doubts about the purpose of the Gaza flotilla, which Israel had every right to stop and search, and, if necessary, repel with force. Israel has a right to defend itself against rockets, guns, mobs -- and “peace activists” in whose minds “peace” is the furthest thing in their minds. -- -- -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
