Mind Games

Sometimes I turn on Free Speech TV. Part of the reason is masochism, part is the need to actually see the arguments those people are making. Are they really as absurd as some on the right say they are? Usually they really are that absurd.

I caught the end of a show called, Every Church a Peace Church. Even before I heard what the two gentlemen on the show were talking about, by brain had turned it into Every Church Appease Church.

So what were they discussing? The damage we are doing in Iraq; "we", being the United States. I suppose they were upset that the United States Armed Forces ended the golden age in Iraq under Saddam. We have to learn to appease the Islamic totalitarian dictators. Appeasement worked against the Nazis, didn't it? And it's certainly worked in the Middle East, with Israel handing over Gaza, allowing it to become a haven for terrorists, and a Jew-free zone.

Oh wait. It's not strictly a Jew-free zone right now, not after some Gazan citizens invited Gilad Shalit to be their special guest in Gaza. Not wanting to be left out however (jealousy?) more Israeli citizens have entered Gaza; the IDF. And now, after working really hard to make sure that Gilad Shalit entered Gaza, the Gazans are upset that he was followed by more members of the Israeli military.

Now the Palestinians are screaming out their stupid, familiar refains of "humanitarian crisis", "collective punishment", "Israeli agression", "crimes against humanity". They are making demands. The IDF and IAF are in their backyard, and they are making demands. Outrageous chutzpah, you say? Not at all. They've become used to Israeli appeasement. They've gotten it in the past; they expect it again. Why not? They've been fighting a war against Israel for 60 years. Militarily they've gotten their asses repeatedly handed to them. But Israel, the Jewish state, based on Jewish values has never fought to crush and humiliate their Muslim enemies. They've never shown the Palestinians that there are consequences for your actions. In fact, truck with food, fuel, other supplies have been allowed to enter Gaza. Again they are shown that unlike the rest of us, they don't have to suffer the consequences of their actions. If they scream loud and long enough, either Israel, the United States, or the United Nations will make it all better.

The rest of the world, including those who should know better, like the EU and the United States have contributed to this mess by their constant defeatist refrain of "restraint". On the few occasions that Israel has been prepared to destroy its enemies, in 1967 and 1973, the world demanded that Israel show restraint. Do Israel's enemies ever face the same demand? And if they did, would they heed it? Not according to the charters of the PLO and Hamas.

So does Olmert have the backbone to demonstrate to the world that Israel is no longer a Palestinian punching bag? Will Israel be allowed to show the rest of the world how to fight against the Islamic terror machine? Or will they once again be reduced to begging a weaker enemy for peace? Will they continue to appease terror? Will they be forced by the legions of terror apologists world wide to continue to appease?

We know the answer, but we also know that Israel has to have the strongest spirit of any nation on this planet to have survived this long. I pray that Israeli spirit stays strong. And I will continue to support Israel in its battle against Islam.

Murder Children - Get Great PR - If You are Palestinian

Here are two photographs. What do we see in them? Well, there is the obvious, masked men planting bombs. According to reports that came along with these AP photos, these men are preparing for the impending invasion of Gaza by the IDF.

In case you weren't sure, these are Palestinians. How do we know? Well, they're dressed in traditional Palestinian terrorist garb. And they are surrounded by Palestinian children. Has Palestinian society become so debased that they would cynically manipulate their children in order to gain PR points against Israel by using them as human shields and thereby exposing them to the possibliity of violent death or dismemberment?

Look at the pictures. They would and they do. If there is a work accident, and these "martyrs" are sent to their 72 raisons, children would be killed or injured also. Then any survivors would immediately blame the Jews. It's happened before in other "Palestinian work accidents". (Here is today's example. They haven't had time to blame the Israelis yet, but stay tuned). If the IDF attacks these miscreants, there too, is the danger that children will be injured or killed. The Palestinian leadership lives for those episodes. That's why their terrorists travel in crowds. If there is one thing they have an excess of, it's human shields.

It's crass. It's vile. It's what the Palestinians do. It's what their apologists in the Muslim world, in the MSM and on the left excuse. They blame the deaths of children purposely planted in the kill zone on the Israelis. This is only one example of many over the years of Israel being held to an impossibly high standard in warfare against a vicious terrorist enemy, while the Palestinians are excused for being subhuman in the same situation.

Is this an example of anti-semitism? Yep, pure and simple Jew hatred, expressed by Muslims, encouraged by the MSM and the immoral left.
