I fully support Israel’s actions to defend themselves. These terrorist actions by Hamas must end, once and for all.

Even if I believed in their fairy tale myths of what happened in 1948, Even if I agreed that they had many legitimate grievances.

I would still support Israel over the Palestinian Arabs, for the simple reason that one is a democratic nation with the rule of law trying to survive and the other is an backward Iron Age Thug hate culture struggling to commit genocide.

So I really don’t care about the history of the conflict too much.

Enough is enough, Hamas keeps firing rockets and now they’ve gotten Israel’s full attention. It’s about time Israel destroys these militants and restores peace and stability to the area. Add me to the list.

DKos has had anti-Israel posts at the top of the rec list for a while now.

Let’s show them how strongly we feel about the matter, too.

One of the best posts I’ve ever read.

Although right now I’m guessing they will fight a simple holding action to get the rocket attacks to stop for a little while. Of course in a couple of months there’s a good probability that Bebe will once again be PM and then all bets are off.

I hear the IDF has upped their training in urban warfare pretty significantly since the debacle in Lebanon, I hope that’s true. Air power is a great thing, and makes for cool videos, but it will take boots on the ground – and a lot of them for a significant time – to put a real dent in this mess.

Great work and recommended!

Thanks for posting this list, E Pluribus!

Since the US media is covering only that ‘the big bad Jooz’ are mercilessly attacking people of a peace-loving religion and also so that y’all can see what’s actually happening on the ground over there (and here), I wrote something very early this morning, linked right below…..

http://www.redstate.com/pejman_yousefzadeh/2008/12/29/telling/#comment-3545

The gist of that earlier missive is regarding the most recent fad of the Muslim world ….. Stoning Jewish Babies. It’s been growing in popularity for a few weeks now. I know you think I’m kidding. I wish I was.

Just for fun, here’s another addition to the stellar society of the peace-loving religion……….

http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1230456507048&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull

The headline and first paragraph….. “Palestinian stabs 4 in Modi’in Illit”

“A Palestinian laborer stabbed and wounded four Israelis Monday in the West Bank settlement of Modi’in Illit before he was shot and wounded by a volunteer medic, police and rescue officials said.”

Take a guess what the perp was doing there for TEN YEARS…….. he was a contractor doing renovations on homes.

Here’s some more simply isolated incidents where there’s absolutely NO interconnection to the peace-loving religion.

The piece de resistance……… Next time you go to a gas station, a convenience store or anywhere else you may find members of the peace-loving religion, remember this happens as part of their normal routine life……..

I can offer up some thoughts, but right under this box where I’m typing, the note says “Be respectful, or be banned. No Profanity.”

The no profanity part is easy. I don’t need to use low words in high places.

The be respectful part, on the other hand…..well, that’s not so easy for me, so ban me if you must.

Regarding stoning Jewish babies or any babies for that matter……. God forbid that happens here even once……. I can assure you that hunting season will immediately be open. Yes, that’s a threat to the peace-loving religion.

On a big-picture front…… I’m not sure what it’s going to take for Israel to realize they are completely on their own and needs to do immediately WHATEVER IT TAKES to stop this peace-loving religion once and for all.

No warnings, no quarter offered or given…….. Let The Mossad loose and do the work they are capable of. IDF: Carpet-bomb every single square foot of Gaza and drop some heavies on Southern Lebanon. Iran and Syria should immediately become glass-topped parking lots.

It’s no longer a matter of talking, offering truces, or anything of the sort. Attack….. The entire purpose of going into battle is to defeat and fully destroy your enemy’s ability to do anything except surrender (that is if you decide to leave any of the enemy behind to do so).

Israel is at the tipping point today, tonight, tomorrow morning. Next week may be too late. There is basically nothing stopping the Muslim world from helping their own and going for their stated goal – eliminating Israel and the Jewish people.

Mark my words….. No matter what happens, this mess will start to spill over to the rest of the world and Jews will be attacked on the streets.

This Jewish kid is not going to submit or give in to anyone or anything involved with the peace-loving religion….. ever.

And you – of all people – should know that there are exactly 11 “o”s in Jooooooooooos. Otherwise it get’s mistaken in the pronunciation for something like “orange joos”, a breakfast drink instead of the consortium of folks who control world banking (oops), drink the blood of Christian children and keep a billion or so Muslims in poverty and living in dictatorships.

Now that I think of it, I’m guessing the “banking control” thingy is probably off the list these days. None of the Jews I know would have screwed up the banking system like this.

I’m with you on the rest.

It is about time that Israel takes steps to actually defend itself. If rockets were being launched into the US from Mexico across our southern border, we would have done something about it a long time ago.

I think Israel has every right to defend itself from those who seek to exterminate them.

There is a time for talk and a time for action.

The action required is to quit talking and start doing. Other supporting factions that condone the behavior of Hamas and others would soon get the idea that peeing into the wind is not a good idea if you wish to stay dry.

Izzy’s neighbors, Hammy and Hezzy, keep launching rockets into Izzy’s yard, killing Izzy’s kids. Hammy and Hezzy do it for months and finally Izzy trys to stop them.

Then the whole neighborhood condems Izzy, so Izzy promises to stop if Hammy and Hezzy stop launching rockets.

The three agree, except the next day, Hammy and Hezzy launch more rockets. Yet still some people think Izzy is to blame.

Keep the pressure on

. . . and, THIS time I personally urge Israel to employ LIMITED restraint in their continuing defense of its citizens from HAMAS’ depredations. And that is regardless of where that defense might take Israel’s military forces.

Great post by the way.

Take Care, mailloux

and I have to say to the IDF it’s about time. This time they must finish the job.

God bless Israel. My admiration for the Israeli people is boundless; no one stands up to bullies like they do. They put us all to shame.

To my fellow Americans: it is our duty to support Israel with everything we have, if for no other reason that alone among the nations, Israel stands with us, no matter what. For us to break faith with that would be to doom ourselves.

The USA has no better friend that the state of Israel. May God grant that Israel can always say the same of the USA.

Neither is exactly behaving in a manner I care to support. Hamas obviously shouldn’t have been lobbing rockets into Israeli neighborhoods during a cease fire but Israel won no friends with their overly repression embargo. Frankly throwing support behind either is basically endorsing two wrongs as a right.

“Yes this would actually require restraint not seen from Israel before. ”

Let’s say terrorists in Mexico were lobbing rockets into the US, blowing up pizza joints and buses, and tunneling under the border so they could kill and kidnap Americans. Do you think for a minute the American people would stand for anything less than a 100 mile wasteland as a buffer zone between Mexico and the US, assuming anyone was left alive to occupy the other side?

And you accuse Israel of not showing restraint?

Here ya go……. From EyeOnTheUN.org……..

First paragraph (minus the intro)………

“…………after a long period of utmost restraint, the Government of Israel has decided to exercise, as of this morning, its right to self-defence. Israel is taking the necessary military action in order to protect its citizens from the ongoing terrorist attacks originating from the Gaza Strip and carried out by Hamas and other terrorist organizations.”

Personally, I wouldn’t have sent The UN anything except a pic of Calvin taking a leak on a map of Gaza.

Cheers !

and Hobbes.

What tunnel network you ask?

The tunnel network for smuggling that’s been in place for years, except that the media outside of Israel would never report about it – even when the IDF would target the locale of such a peace-loving religion (snark, snark, snark).

http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1051216.html

The Israel Air Force on Tuesday evening unleashed a massive strike on a network of Hamas-dug tunnels in the southern Gaza Strip near the Philadephi Route, according to Palestinian sources.

IAF planes attacked dozens of the tunnels, which Hamas had used to smuggle weapons and militants between Egypt and the Gaza Strip, the army said in a statement.

Thanks! Lets get this over with once and for all… The fact of the matter is that we should be with them, This is just another piece of the WOT…

Yes indeed.
And fyi this was posted and linked on twitter by RottDawg!

Good job!

The violence will escalate for a little while with more rocket launches and perhaps suicide bombings, followed by intense and frantic negotiations, followed by a temporary ceasefire, followed by more intermittent rocket launches, followed by another Israeli offensive, etc. The cycle doesn’t change no matter who’s in charge of the Palestinians or Israelis. Everything they do just provokes the other side to keep up their end of the war.

I stand 100% behind Israel

Unconditional Surrender or Genocide.

The former will probably have to come close to the latter to be achievable.

I can totally see how kicking the can down the road once more time is preferable to finally having an end to the conflict.

That said, I would infinitely prefer the society with a free press (including pornography!), civil unions for gays, and medical marijuana to walk away from the final conflict than the Palestinians.

But, if given a choice between ending the conflict and kicking the can down the road, I’d probably kick the can down the road.

Rec’od, and tack me on if you’re still doing so.

There are two sides to many arguments, but not to this one. Those who condemn Israel are either anti-Semitic or just crazy. Either way, the blood of Jewish children is on their hands.

First and last paragraphs………

JewishWorldReview.com – By Jonathan Mark

“I condemn Israel’s disproportionate attack on Hamas because, so far, it has only lasted four days and I would like to see a proportionate response that terrifies Hamas for seven years, the years that have filled Sderot and neighboring towns with nightmares, death, amputations and trauma coming from rockets and mortars fired from Gaza.”

….snip….

“Let it be said to Israelis and Jews everywhere, in the words of Churchill: “You have enemies? Good. It means you’ve stood up for something.” But remember: A war (and Hamas has repeatedly said this is war) is never won if you are disproportionately kind to someone who wants to destroy you and, failing in that, demands with indignation that you not destroy him.”

I definitely like this guy and just sent a thank-you mail.

Cheers !

time for a ruthless pounding

Put me down as someone who supports Israel without question…

Isn’t it interesting that Barack Obama has had a comment on everything from his appointments, to his buff bod, to the stimulus package, to his eating spam, but Israel is attacked by insane terrorists and he remains silent. They better do whatever they are going to do in the next 3 weeks, because after that they are going to find that the White House is no longer quite so supportive.

I am also hoping for a Likud victory in the near future.

time to bring some DRAMA to the Pali’s…count me in

Count “ME” in!!!!

PA Arab Terrorists Attack Israelis in Denmark, Two Wounded

(IsraelNN.com) Palestinian Authority Arab terrorists attacked a group of young Israelis at a stand in a Danish mall early Wednesday evening.

Local police said the attack took place at approximately 3:20 p.m. at the Rosengirdscentret Center, one of the largest shopping centers in the city of Odense, located about 200 kilometers from Copenhagen.

Despite the fact that almost 2/3 of American Jews voted Democrats in the last election.

My support is based on the rationale that Israel is the major US ally and nothing more. I don’t care about the nationality of the people inside that country anymore.

While I respect the Israelis and their right to self defense I am no longer a blind supporter of Israel for the following reasons

1) Watching 75% of Jews vote for Hussein Obama makes me feel like a Putz
2) Pissing off 1.2 Billion Muslims for the sake of 6 Million Jews doesn’t seem like smart foriegn policy,
