Live From Israel War Day 5

Well, that didn't take long. As predicted, the issue of proportionality is starting to be brought up. The UN Human Rights Council, which is probably the most anti-Semitic governmental office in an organization not known to be our friends, has warned Israel not to cross the line.

Yesterday, I saw a commentator on CNN (Don’t ask, I don’t know why I am watching it) start to ask an Israeli commentator about the Gazan civilian casualties. Truthfully, I thought it would take a bit longer. Why am I always surprised?

Other fun things. The New York Jets released a statement that they stand by Israel. This was a full day before former Presidents Obama and Clinton said a word.

30+ student groups at Harvard said that the current crisis is totally Israel’s fault. After all, what did we expect after years of genocidal apartheid? It took the President of Harvard two days to say that those were not the official views of Harvard.

The Democratic Socialists of America have come out with the same position, siding with the terrorists. This is not entirely surprising as Israel is one of the USA’s closest allies, and the DSA would like nothing more than to overthrow the USA government to make America the socialist paradise they envision. Like that ever existed.

For now, Israel has been able to keep the western world's sympathies. The government gave 20 foreign journalists a tour of the carnage, and even the NY Times and Washington Post have sympathy for decapitated babies (sorry, but the reality). Yet as gruesome as these massacres were, it will all be forgotten when the Gazan casualties are double or triple Israel's.

It won’t matter that the Gazan civilians were cheering and giving out candies at the butchery inflicted on us. They danced around the corpses of dead young Israeli women and more.

As I said yesterday, just as they believe there are no civilians on our side, there certainly are none on theirs.

And for those people who said we had it coming, you are looking at this backward. Israel has had a brutal occupation of the Palestinian people, but it is because we know what we are dealing with while the Hamas apologists pretend it doesn't exist.

We have known through experience in 1929, 1936, 1948, etc., that if the Palestinians had the chance, they would kill men, women, children, and infants in their cribs. We knew they would mutilate, rape, and decapitate as many as they can.

Hamas has never hidden that their goal is to kill Jews (not Israelis), it is in their charter.

We knew this, and we still offered peace on seven different occasions. Offers that were turned down because none of them included the obliteration of the Jewish state.

Although the world is shocked for now, we are not. We knew what they were capable of if given the chance; there would be no holding back on their side. They have proven us right. If anything, they have also shown us that the siege of Gaza was a big joke and that we were way too accommodating. Our government says going forward things will be different. The people will accept nothing less.

Yes, the world is horrified by the brutality inflicted on us, but we know they will soon forget. We need to have the fortitude to finish this once and for all. As opposed to the Palestinians, none of us will be dancing and handing out candy celebrating the death of their children, but I think most of us no longer care either.

I just want to attach a link that I received on Daniel Gordis's blog. It is an interview with a brother and sister whose younger sister was murdered at the rave while they were in touch with her.

She is a famous TV personality here, and he is in special forces. It is rough to watch, and if it is something you cannot do, skip to the end when the brother speaks. This is what Hamas will have to deal with. They will all get what they deserve ( Click here for Gordis link).
