Hamas: Kill all Jews
Via Arutz Sheva: Hamas issued an official call on Sunday night asking its followers to murder Israeli Jews wherever possible. Those who follow the call would be fulfilling the Muslim command of jihad, according to Hamas.
The statement released by Hamas asks Muslims to take whatever weapons they manage to obtain and to kill Jews wherever they find them, without hesitation. “The time has come,” the group said, “to kill the occupier.”
Hamas is the elected government of the so-called Palestinian people. Thus, Hamas speaks for the civilian population.
When a government calls for liquidation of "Israeli Jews wherever possible" I take that seriously.
The "occupier" grievance, by the way, refers to the entire State of Israel.
So all you appeasers out there who believed that withdrawing from Gaza would get you brownie points with Hamas, well, it didn't happen. They saw the withdrawal, correctly, as surrender, and launched war.
All you who believe that trading Judea and Samaria (The West Bank) for peace, well, guess what?
It will not work.
Hamas, Fatah, all of them want, duh, all of Israel.
They say it all the time. Why do so many choose not to believe them?
Is it perhaps that so many on the left are racists who believe that Arabs and Muslims don't really mean what they say because, y'know, they "have a tendency to use flowery language."
I happen to respect Arabs and Muslims. I take them very seriously. When they openly and proudly call for genocide, well, call me crazy, but I believe them. They have a long and proud history of Jew killing.
Here's what has to happen now:
1.Israelis must accept that they are at war; these rocket attacks are not isolated events.
2. Israel has to rid herself of the current wretched Olmert, Peretz, Livni, Kadima government.
3. Natanyahu must be elected. Sorry, he's the only sheriff on the block.
4. Gaza should be declared an enemy state.
5. The IDF must turn off the electrical grid in Gaza.
6. Air and commando operations to commence against stragetic targets in Gaza.
7. Every single Hamas government official is and has always been an enemy combatant and should be hunted down and killed.
8. If rockets continue to rain on Israel from Gaza, then Israel should proceed with carpet bombing every inch of Gaza.
Here's what General Curtis LeMay said during World War II: I'll tell you what war is about. You have got to kill people, and when you have killed enough of them they stop fighting.
And this how General Phil Sheridan defined the object of war: To deal as hard blows to the enemies' soldiers as possible, and then cause so much suffering to the inhabitants of the country that they will long for peace and press their government to make it... Nothing should be left to the people but eyes to lament the war.
Unless Israel follows LeMay and Sheridan's stark advice, Hamas, Fatah and all jihadists win.

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
As has been said here and elsewhere:
"Every attempt to make war easy and safe will result in humiliation and disaster."
General William Tecumseh Sherman

The IDF must turn off the electrical grid in Gaza.
Not to mention the water and gas pipelines.
I have never understood why providing utilities to terrorists has been understood to be Israel's responsibility. If the palis want electricity, gas, and water, they should contract with companies in Egypt and Jordan.
Oh, right, Egypt and Jordan don't want anything to do with the palis...
Nice post.

Many years ago my father told me a story which may be just a story or may be true about a wild cat act in the circus. This act had wild cats (tigers, lions, panthers, etc.) of many descriptions. The act was typical of the type that we see with the cats doing various stunts. The end of the act was the lining up of the cats by size. They would parade out from largest to smallest. Each time the largest cat (Tiger?) would pass by the smallest cat (Panther?), the smaller cat would take a swipe at him. Each time the largest cat would receive an annoying scratch. One day, the largest cat, anticipating the scratch, took a swipe at the smallest cat and took its head off.
The Gaza rockets may seem to the world as scratches by a small cat against a large cat, but someday the large cat has to take that swipe back.

>> 4. Gaza should be declared an enemy state.
That would be recognizing an independent Palestinian state, and Olmert is not yet prepared to do that, although in a sense that was the thinking behind Sharon's policy. Olemert is looking more to get Egypt to occupy Gaza, and Jordan to take some responsibility for the West Bank.
Hamas's response to being declared an enemy state probably would be to refuse to accept this grant of independence, saying that is because no part of the West Bank is included. They would want Israel to go back to the old way of dealing with this.
Labor might do that by the way, and Meretz would endorse it. I don't think Netayahu would go along with this idea. The reasoning would be that there are probably some legal rights Israel retains by NOT declaring Gaza an enemy state. It would help of course to carify Israeli thinking about it, of course.

Sammy:
Fine, declare Gaza an enemy entity, an enemy territory, an enemy whatever. The pont is: they are the enemy and Israel is at war with this enemy.
Semantics aside, proceeed to destroy said enemy.

Your father is a very wise man. It's time for Israel to swipe back and decapitate Gaza.
