Spare the Pieties on Gaza

From: Thomas Braun <[email protected]>

This is  articulate. He expresses very well what many of us think and feel.

Lunatic leftists.

Have an excellent week Hank, though I think everyday about the IDF soldiers
in Gaza, I hope for minimal casulaties.

If I could assassinate the Hamas leaders, it would be such a pleasure......

Israel is a Jewish State. Is that your problem?

  Frankly, given a choice, I prefer the skinheads and other brutes who
express their anti-Semitism openly. In such places, we know the enemy.

You called it "peace" as long as the Arabs were doing the killing and the
Jews were doing the dying.

But please spare me the pieties and the righteous indignation of those "good
people" protesting throughout Europe  against Israel's defensive operation
in Gaza. True, thousands have taken up banners in support of Israel. At the
same time, however, the streets of Europe (and even some in America) are in
an uproar. These are the "humanitarians" - the good, the noble, the refined,
who chant "peace."

Now you're up and about? Now you speak? Where were you when, throughout the
years, thousands of jihadist bombs fell on Israel? The streets of Europe
were empty. There were no pictures in the newspapers of grieving Jewish
mothers and fathers. You called it "peace" as long as the Arabs were doing
the killing and the Jews were doing the dying. All was well with the world.

Suddenly, as Israel answered back, you found your Cause; and how
self-righteous you are in your Cause.

You are the best and the brightest of Europe. You are educated. You attended
the finest schools. You care for the birds, the bees, the bears, the trees.
You favor free speech and freedom of religion. Strange it is that the one
and only place in the Middle East that shares your world-view is Israel, and
it is Israel that you slander.

Israel is a Jewish State. Is that your problem? At the first hint of Jewish
self-defense, how quickly you show your true colors.

I've seen the photos of your candlelight vigils along the streets and
boulevards of Europe, all of it; all these tears in the service of those
terrorists whom you call your brothers. Indeed you are related to Hamas (and
Fatah) as once before, a mere generation ago, you were related to Hitler's
stormtroopers. Your angelic faces are touching - and disgusting. Your
hypocrisy is transparent and nauseating.

You speak of disproportion. You want proportion? Give Israel a population of
300 million residing in 22 countries, similar to the Arab Muslims who
surround and ambush Israel - instead of five and a half million Jews in one
single country. There's plenty of "proportion" coming from your BBC, which
delights in presenting one side of the story and picks up where *Der Sturmer
* left off. Now, with this type of "news", we know how Europe was
conditioned for a Holocaust.

Already we see Nights of Broken Glass. Thank you, Europe, for reminding us
why America was discovered just in time (and why Israel was redeemed many
generations too late). You dare judge Israel? In your deportations, your
expulsions, your forced conversions, your inquisitions, your pogroms, you
have no moral authority over Israel or even within your own borders. You
gave all that up from 1492 to 1942.

To those on the Left who sought peace, well, dear peace-lovers, peace
brought this on. "Land for Peace" made this happen, as Land for Peace became
Land for Jihad. "Painful Concessions" caused this war. "Goodwill Gestures"
backfired. Want more "peace"? Give up the Golan Heights. Give up the entire
West Bank. Give up Jerusalem. Imagine the "peace." As for those "innocent
civilians" in Gaza, they were given a choice and they chose Hamas. They
chose this pestilence.

You have no moral authority over Israel or even within your own borders.

As for those "refugee camps" - why are they "refugee camps" when Israel
handed over all that territory for a nation to be built in peace and
security alongside Israel? Why are all Palestinians automatically refugees
even after they've been given a home? The only true refugees are the
thousands of Israelis who were driven from Gaza and still live in trailer
parks. No tears for them in this world that still dreams of Auschwitz.

On this day, in response to a column I wrote about Theresienstadt, someone
responded that I was incorrect; that Theresienstadt was not a prelude to
Auschwitz, but rather "a vacation resort." I wrote back wishing this person
a lifetime in such vacation resorts. I wish the same lifetime vacation
resorts to all those parading throughout the streets of Europe with banners
crying, "Death to Israel."

God bless the IDF! Go Israel!
