The following is an editorial by David M. Huntwork
In
2005 Gaza was unconditionally given to the Palestinians. They quickly
handed it over to Hamas, made it a terror fortress, and smuggled in all the
weapons of war that they could (which brought about a blockade). All efforts of
peace since then have been met with "Massacre all the Jews!"
There
is one very vital thing that must be said to all the Arabs of Palestine, as
well as their supporters and defenders around the world. If you want to have
peace and co-exist with Israel without war, violence, and death then stop
voting in and supporting fundamentalists and extremists whose pastime is
strapping bombs onto innocent women and children and launching rockets at
Israel. And stop excusing such bloody actions when they occur. Leave
Israel alone and you will soon have both peace and harmony with the Jew. If you
are a peaceful Muslim then you must reject murder and terrorism in the name of
Allah. If you are rational Westerner, you must do the same. It's that simple.
One
must wonder why such focused and massive worldwide attention is spotlighted on
this decades long conflict every time Israel finally decides to stand up for
itself against those seeking its national destruction and the extermination of
its people. Far worse death and destruction is being perpetrated nearly daily
in both Syria and in ISIS controlled Iraq. Do you have any idea of the number
of horrendous honor killings perpetrated every single year throughout the
Muslim world? Yet I hear only selective complaining from Progressives, the
Left, and a few shrill voices of the conspiracist, racist Right when it comes
to the Gaza conflict.
Often
the very people suddenly all concerned about the plight of the poor Palestinian
Arabs are the exact same people the inhabitants of Gaza would eliminate from
the face of the earth under Sharia law if given the chance. As a Westerner, if
you find that your chosen ideology ends up leading you to align yourself with
Islamists and terror groups against a Westernized, civilized, and modern
democratic nation-state then perhaps it is time to seriously reexamine your
current belief system. Making common cause with militant Muslims rarely turns
out well.
To be
so self-loathing as to support and defend the very people who seek the
extermination of their own people and race. It is almost beyond comprehension
that those who advocate a second holocaust are extended such sympathy by the
people they seek to eliminate. I, for example, would not shed a tear for
those who would seek the extermination of my race while waving blood-stained
hands in the air. That just wouldn't happen. I would instead be proud to defend
my people from such as those. In Islam, the infidel is offered three choices;
death, conversion, or subjugation. In modern times the Jew is offered only
death. If there is one thing Israel is very good at, it is protecting its own.
Those hostile to the existence of the state of Israel continue to learn
that lesson the hard way.
The
ultimate irony is that most Westerners who defend Hamas and attack the right of
Israel to exist or defend itself would be persecuted and even executed under
Sharia law because of their life choices, racial heritage, and beliefs. How
they cannot see that is impossible to understand or fathom. For otherwise
supposedly intelligent members of Western Civilization to stand up and defend
Muslim fanatics and terror groups just because they oppose Israel is a sad and
pathetic thing so see. It should be disturbing to all those who value the
concept and values of civilized man and the West over the barbarian peddling
only death and destruction.
Below
is some footage of Hamas shooting rockets next to crowded hotels, apartment
complexes, and even right next to a UN flagged building.
From
NDTV's accompanying article:
Israel
has argued that that [Hamas'] rockets are fired from civilian areas, and this
is why its retaliatory strikes can result in civilian casualties...this
morning, NDTV witnessed one such rocket silo being created under a tent
right next to the hotel where our team was staying. Minutes later, we saw
the rocket being fired, just before the 72-hour ceasefire came into effect. It
began with a mysterious tent with a blue canopy that bobbed up yesterday
(August 4) at 6:30 am in an open patch of land next to our window. We saw
three men making a multitude of journeys in and out of the tent, sometimes with
wires. An hour later, they emerged, dismantled the tent, changed their clothes
and walked away. The next morning - today - we woke to news of the 72-hour
ceasefire but just before it was to take effect, the rocket next to our hotel
was fired. There was a loud explosion and a whooshing sound. The cloud of smoke
that rose was captured by our cameraperson. This report is being aired on
NDTV and published on ndtv.com
after our team left the Gaza strip - Hamas has not taken very kindly to any
reporting of its rockets being fired. But just as we reported the
devastating consequences of Israel's offensive on Gaza's civilians, it is
equally important to report on how Hamas places those very civilians at risk
by firing rockets deep from the heart of civilian zones.
Hamas
and similar groups need to be hunted down and destroyed. War is never pretty and
the collateral damage is always very regrettable, but sometimes wars need to be
fought. And one should always use overwhelming force if possible to make sure
you win. That's how it's done. Its how one assures themselves of victory.
One never heard the rhetoric of proportional response when it came to Pearl
Harbor and defeating Imperial Japan in WWII, and such bizarre arguments are
only trotted out like a one trick pony when it comes to Israel fighting its
enemies. Muslim terrorists of all stripes deserve no mercy as they will never
compromise or change and show no mercy themselves. They seek only to kill and
destroy and we see that all across the Middle East right now. The evidence is
the news and headlines we see every single day.
