People of Gaza, You Got What You Voted For–Stop Complaining

         Palestinians in Gaza voted for Hamas, and now they are getting exactly what they voted for: A terrorist regime, provoking war with Israel, suicide bombers, shortages of food and medicine, socialism, poverty, and no hope for peace. They knew what Hamas represented when they voted for it.  They are now reaping the consequences of their vote. They are not victims of Israeli aggression, they are accomplices and supporters of an Islamic terrorist organization.

        Palestinians, and their supporters everywhere, complain to the media that civilians, women, and children, are being killed and injured in Gaza by Israeli air and land strikes. They flood the media with statements, photos, and videos of the dead and injured being carried away from scenes of carnage caused by Israeli strikes, or so they say.  They want to be seen by the world as the victims of Israeli brutality and point to only four Israelis who have been killed by Hamas rocket attacks.  Israel should treat these rocket attacks only as a nuisance and respond proportionally, they tell us.

        Hamas rockets deliberately target innocent civilians, women and children, and schools in Israel, while Israel targets only Hamas paramilitary and rocket firing terrorists. Hamas’ answer to Israeli retaliation is more rockets fired at Israeli civilians.  A proportionate response to an attack, or in this case, multiple attacks by Hamas, is not measured in the numbers of deaths on each side.  The counterattack by Israel must be proportionate to the threat posed by Hamas and the degree of force required to eliminate that threat.  Civilian casualties in war are unavoidable and irrelevant. Only a fool would think that you should trade your enemy body for body.

        The quickest way to end a war is to win it by defeating the enemy with overwhelming force.  This is not a game where the defense must be proportional to the offense.  The object is to win and get it over with. That is precisely what Israel must do.  No more measured responses or playing diplomatic ceasefire games with the United Nations.  If the United Nations tries to interfere with what Israel has to do, Israel should pull out of the U.N. and America should follow.  Anyway, anything that the United Nations might do would not be binding on Hamas.  Hamas is not a member of the United Nations.

        All of this talk of “innocent civilian casualties” is utter nonsense anyway.  There are no more innocent civilians in Gaza than there were innocent Nazis in Germany.  They are all Palestinians.  They all voted for Hamas socialism and rule.  They all defend and support Hamas in one way or another.  They are all a part of the terrorist machine that Hamas represents (kind of like the people of Chicago supporting their corrupt political machine).

The headline for this piece says it all and its what I and other bloggers with more than a lick of sense have been saying since Israel finally had enough of ‘turning the other cheek’ and picked up a ‘jawbone of an ass’ and began to ‘smite the heathen’.  What the Pal’s and Hamas were/are doing to Israel is the same thing that all bullies do when those they pick on finally have enough and begin fighting back.

I’m reminded of several instances where I’ve been present and the bully begins to get his/her just desserts.  The bully begins to scream as he/she loses a few teeth:  “PULL ME OFF, PULL ME OFF!”  Hell of a thing when the people watching the just deserts being dished out don’t respond to the screamed plea.
