The President made a grave mistake in his choice of allies. Instead of backing Israel, he condemned them for their attack on the Turkish ship. He stands by and does nothing about threats from Arab nations and attacks Israel. All the while he talks about being a global citizen, befriends our enemies and alienates our allies. Apparently, he's a global citizen, unless you're an Israeli.
Israel is an ally. Israel is a Democracy. Israel has a right to defend its sovereign borders. The ships that were boarded carried something other than peace-loving beatniks with medical supplies. If that were all they had aboard, then they would have accepted the offer of either Egypt (which is participating in the blockade with Israel) or Israel to put to put outside Gaza and have the Red Cross transport the supplies in.
Gaza is a terrorist enclave and the people on those boats knew that. When the IDF boarded, they were attacked and asked for clearance to use deadly force. It is easy to be back seat drivers and talk about what they could do, but they were attacked with brutal force. People say we should take them prisoner, but just today there's a story about the problem with the pirates they have captured.
Today Mark Belling asked on the radio "Why must Israel be saintly in a world of sinners?" When israel does anything even remotely bad, it's treated as the greatest crime of all time; when people victimize Israel, which is almost daily, it is allowed to pass without honorable mention. Let us also remember that Israel was the TARGET of some of the greatest crimes of all time. Ever since they left Egypt, the descendents of Israel have been targeted by empires for the fertile land and strategic crossroads. Bablyon, Assyria, and Persia in turn conquered them. The Greeks and the Romans took their turn. Christian Crusades were launched in part to punish the Jews for their murder of Christ. In our era, the Holocaust was launched as part of a continuing world-wide effort to villainize the Jews for everything that is wrong in this world.
Any concession is not enough. Give Hamas two blocks, and they'll want four more.
What do they want Israel to do? To die. Any criticism of Obama is viewed as racist. I daresay almost all of the criticism of Israel comes from anti-semitism.
Meanwhile, Israel draws the fire and the vehement anger of the radical terrorist muslim movement. Israelis live with terror acts as a commonplace occurance.
I empathize with Israel because like them, I am also held to an almost impossible standard. I can think of no other reason for it other than antagonism against their religion and my own. Like Israel, my Faith is relatively small and is the major population in only one state in the US. Argue whatever you like, but it comes down to our religious beliefs. They do not apply those standards to anyone else because nobody else would even be capable of meeting those standards.
Dear members of the IDF. Thank you for keeping us safe. If you were gone, the things that happen on your streets would happen on ours. It would not be enough if they had Israel. They want to destroy all of the infidels, which includes us. I love buffers. They keep things in check.
