Israel - Gaza actions on YouTube 2009

Whoo hoo! Israel in the PR war on terrorist now big-time as the Israel launches YouTube site, here. If there is nothing else that we should have learned over the last years since the presidency of Jimmy Carter and onward, the one thing that we should know fully is that radical Islamists - the warriors for Allah determined to kill the infidel - know and respect only ONE thing. Not talking; not nice tea served in china cups in the Oval Office; not photo-ops in the Rose Garden. All of these activities are "stalling" techniques they and their leadership use to measure our weakness and to gauge the weakness of our resolve. These folks respect only POWER and if that has to be crushing defeat such as the kind when the Romans raised the city of Jerusalem then - like it or not - that is the defeat that Israel MUST rain down upon Hamas. There will be no peace in the Middle East until either one of two things happens: the Israelis demonstrate once and for all their total and complete ability and willingness to defend themselves for the sake of their survival or the Islamic terrorists and their master puppeteers do as they have threatened and sworn to do. I stand with Israel. Israel must dominate this current "crisis" and simply say enough. "Talking" with terrorists only gives terrorists more time to regroup as well as providing them a legitimacy they don't deserve. The terrorists want SBKI - suicide by killing innocents. Bin Laden has stated that they will beat the West because they love Death. They have made it plain that they care not one wit for innocent life and consider no infidel to be innocent. Not much wiggle-room for negotiations there. Eh? As we have seen recently in India, we should take them at their word. Even when one tries, it is difficult to avoid all of the news and Netanyahu seems to be saying that Israel is in full-out war. I agree with him. I do not support violence to achieve goals but when given a choice of enslavement or death, I would choose survival which to me would mean self-defense, not submission. I am reminded of that miserable and painful day when Sharon ordered Israeli soldiers to drag Israelis from their homes in the Gaza Strip where they had turned the desert into roses. I cried with the people pulled from their homes and with the young soldiers given such a heinous order. Now, that area is turned into rubble and launching pads for rockets to be fired into Israel. I appreciate that Sharon was a tremendous hero for Israel; surely he must have known what would happen when he turned that land that had been so lovingly cared for over to the PA. Does anyone in Israeli leadership really believe you can arrange "peace" with the likes of Hamas and Hezbollah? The Qur'an tells them to lie to infidels so how can you possibly believe a word that comes from the mouths of their leaders? And how can you ever forget the age-old ploy? Hamas creates an incident then whines foul when you take action, becoming the "victim". Our most recent example is our "flying imams" - God bless 'em! Please, Israel, fight for your nation, do not legitimize those "nut jobs" who want to kill you and me too. Full-on power and defeat by the "sword" is all they respect; it is the foundation upon which their belief system of world dominance seems to rest. Here's another option. With Hillary as Sec. of State and all of her connections, why not build her a compound of sorts on the Gaza/Israeli line so that she can personally monitor what's happening? Nothing like boots on the ground. To be fair, she'd need the same sort of accommodations on the Lebanese border so she could see how efficiently the re-arming of Hezbollah is taking place under the watchful eye of the UN "Peace Keepers". For Israel, George W. has left the building so to speak and Barry H. has yet to express an opinion on the current "crisis". If I were betting in Vegas, I'd put money down that Barry H. will drop his / our dime to support the PA/Hamas. Israel, you may soon find yourselves on your own. We'll have to wait and see what happens between now and January 20th, 2009! A lot of damage can be done in those few weeks...
