The Price of Appeasement: Again
Hamas terrorist displays Qassam rocket.
It's really quite amazing. The delusional peaceniks who keep calling for Israel to make, ahem, painful concessions, never seem to notice that each concession leads to a withering of Israel's deterrent capabilities, and more threats of annihilation from her jihadist enemies.
Here's a simple rule for Israel—for Jews—to keep in mind:
Never listen to those who urge giving up land for peace. Instead, listen to what the terrorists are saying. They make no secret of their tactics nor their long range genocidal strategy.
In short, when Jew-haters say that they are out to destroy Israel, you should take them seriously.
Terrorists in the Gaza Strip are rejoicing at an Israeli decision today to evacuate troops stationed at a major Gaza-Israel border crossing following repeated Palestinian attacks against Israel's side of the border station.
"This retreat proves the Israeli army is a paper tiger. What we proved to the world in 2005 (when Israel evacuated its Jewish communities from the Gaza Strip) we are proving once again. We are reaching a new step and proving our resistance and our rockets are working," Muhammad Abdel-Al, spokesman and a leader of the Hamas-allied Popular Resistance Committees terror group, told WND.
"Just as the Zionists are running from the border, they will also run from Ashkelon, Ashdod, Jerusalem, Jaffa, Haifa and Tel Aviv ... . We will keep firing until every Jew climbs back into the sh--ty hole he came from," said Abdel-Al, whose group took responsibility for scores of recent attacks against the Israeli border.
Abu Ahmed, a leader of the Islamic Jihad terror group in Gaza, called Israel's troop evacuation a "victory."To read the complete article, please click here.

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.
What we proved to the world in 2005 (when Israel evacuated its Jewish communities from the Gaza Strip) we are proving once again. We are reaching a new step and proving our resistance and our rockets are working,
Sadly, they are right about this. Let's hope they prove wrong about the rest.

Gaza should have been destroyed after they fired the first rocket into Israel. By waiting israel signals that she is unwilling to protect all her citizens and that she is weak.
Disgraceful.

It seems to go back to the same place over and over. Wishful thinking that some sort of magic spell will make the terrorists disappear.
I wish that it were otherwise, but I do not believe that war can be won without bloodshed.

The concept of victory no matter how false that is trumpeted by the terrorists results in even more deaths of innocent Israelis.hopefuly at some point these numerous small'victories' will be rolled back by a full scale IDF assault...untill then the people that hand these 'victories' to these killers have blood on their hands.

From a “What Not to Wear" perspective he should really lose the accessories. Way too busy. The mask makes him really unapproachable.
Very sad.

Did anyone else see the ridiculous piece in the New York Times Week in Review this Sunday about appeasement? Instead of making the obvious and strong truthful points we see here, the whole thing was dedicated to a feckless parsing of the word "appeasement" and how it didn't mean in the 1930's what it means now.
What?
The Times was trying to tell me that appeasement wasn't such a bad thing back then... I guess because it wasn't MEANT to lead to anything bad.
Next week, they'll have a piece on how genocide didn't have such a bad connotation in 1941, so you can't blame Hitler too much.

Jack:
You cannot negotiate with terrorists or terrorist states. They say as much. The Hamas covenant explicitly states that negotiations are just a tactic in the jihad against Jews, Israel and all infidels.
It's very simple: some people need killing. And some states must be destroyed in order to make the world safe.

Seraphic Secret has long maintained that Olmert, Livni & Co. are fine leaders for the Arabs, but for the Jews and Israel they are an unmitigated disaster. History will mark them and the Israeli left as jihadist enablers.

Jake:
The NY Times and the liberal media will argue semantics even as the jihadists slit their throats.
