Gaza

A pro-terrorist, i.e. Palestinian supporter, displays his ideological convictions at a Jew-hating, er Juice-hating rally, in Manhattan yesterday.

Seraphic Secret is worried that Israel will suspend Operation Cast Lead in order to send “humanitarian aid” into Gaza. Israeli government spokesman claim that Hamas have hijacked the peaceful residents of Gaza.

This is nonsense. It’s like drawing a distinction between the so-called innocent German citizens who actively supported the Nazis, or the Japanese who willingly died for their emperor.

The citizens of Gaza overwhelmingly elected Hamas, not because, as the chattering classes claim, because Fatah is corrupt—all Islamists are corrupt—but because the Hamas Covenant denies the historical and religious legitimacy of Israel, vows to eliminate Israel, and to murder all Jews everywhere. This genocidal program is a guaranteed winner with the citizens of Gaza, and has metastized throughout the Arab Muslim world.

Once Israel denies the rock solid civilian support that props up Hamas, she enters a realm of delusion that can only lead to military and political defeat.

My friend Treppenwitz points out that Israeli blood, for humanitarian transfusions, is shipped into Gaza via Jordan. Why? Because Jewish blood is considered filthy, and so as a fig leaf, Jewish blood sent to Jew-haters is transported into Gaza via an Arab state, thus maintaining the illusion that the blood is pure, i.e. Muslim.

This is Nazi doctrine writ large.

Can you make peace with such people?

The Israeli government, acting as a modern Judenrat, expelled every single Jew from Gaza, we’re talking approximately 9,000 Jewish souls.The government promised that once Gaza was Judenrein, free of Jews, peace would break out.

It didn’t quite work out that way.

The peaceful residents of Gaza took the following actions:

1. Burned ever abandoned synagogue.

2. Destroyed the lovely and profitable greenhouses that dopey liberal American Jews—Mortimer Zuckerman & friends—purchased for 14 million dollars—who said Jews are smart?—for the peace-loving residents of Gaza.

3. Immediately launched missiles into Israel, targeting civilians.

4. Kidnapped IDF soldiers. Goldwasser and Regev were probably dead when they were kidnapped. Gilad Shalit is still in cruel captivity—the only Jew in Gaza.

I have yet to hear one supporter of the Gaza expulsion admit that creating a defacto Palestinian state only strengthened Hamas, and proved to every transnational terrorist on the face of the earth that terror pays big dividends—especially when the victims are Jews.

Seraphic Secret has long maintained that all power should be shut off to Gaza—Israel controls the power grid. No fuel should be permitted into Gaza. And let the Egyptians provide humanitarian aid for they also share a border with their Arab brothers.

Every spark of electricity provides the Jew-haters in Gaza with power to kill Israelis. Every ounce of fuel is ammunition for the terrorists to launch their missiles.

War is a serious business. Hamas recognize this and proceed accordingly.

I fear that the current Israeli leadership has no stomach for waging war as it should be waged against the Reich in Gaza: with overwhelming force, until Hamas are turned to nothingness and Gaza surrenders unconditionally.

Czech-mate!

The world is obsessed with casualties—of terrorists—in Gaza, but what about the slaughter of innocents in Congo and the murder of Kurds in Iraq?

Baka Diary has an incredibly powerful post: Where Was the Outrage, that profiles the innocent civilians, women and children, murdered by Hamas missiles—weapons the world labels crude and ineffective.

More tragedy for the Holtzberg family:

The four-year-old son of Gavriel and Rivak Holtzberg, who were killed in the terror attack on the Chabad house in Mumbai, has died of a severe genetic disease overnight.

Dov-Ba’ar Holtzberg’s funeral will be held at 10 am in Jerusalem.

Jack has posted his invaluable Gaza Roundup, Part III.

Israel is unable or unwilling to expend much energy in the propaganda war against her Arab Muslim enemies and the mainstream media who enable the Jew-hating Muslim world.

But Arab television does the job for the Jewish State quite nicely. They produce and broadcast—round the clock—the most ghoulish, blood-thirsty, genocidal films since the Third Reich. In fact, the propaganda films of the Third Reich are positively subtle compared to the filth churned out by the Arab Muslim world.

These Jew-hating spots should convince most any fair-minded person—excluding the Hamas boosting dinosaur media—that Israel must fight and destroy her enemies. The charge of disproportionate response is just plain silly for there is no such thing as a disproportionate response in the face of relentless and solemn Muslim tribal calls for genocide.

Israel’s current offensive against Gaza, Operation Cast Lead, has been a long time coming. Hamas, a proxy for Iran, has poured more than 6,000 missiles into Israel since 2005 when Israel expelled every Jew from Gaza—the Israeli government acting as a modern Judenrat—and created a de facto Palestinian state. Terrorist rhetoric has been full-throated and triumphal. Hamas have boasted that The Zionist Entity—they refuse to acknowledge Israel—has no way of dealing with their rocket attacks. But now that Israel has struck back, the bombastic rhetoric has abruptly ceased. Hamas gnashes its teeth and cries that they are helpless victims.

Odd how the terrorists shed one identity for another so rapidly. Reminds me of the school yard bullies who used to torment the small and weak kids in my grade school—until the weaker kid struck back in self-defense.

I have no idea how Operation Cast Lead will turn out. Israel says that its strategic goal is to halt the rain of rockets on Israel, not to topple Hamas.

But Hamas was formed for one purpose: to destroy Israel and to murder every Jew on the planet. This genocidal goal is neatly and proudly laid out in the Hamas Covenant.

And so the truth is that until Hamas is destroyed Israel will suffer unrelenting terror.

America utterly destroyed Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan during World War II. If Israel wants peace from Gaza, and from her hostile Arab neighbors, she must demonstrate the consequences of making war against the Jewish state.

And the consequences must be the destruction of Hamas and their unconditional surrender. Defeat must be accompanied by humiliation for in the Arab Muslim world—a culture defined by honor and shame—abject humiliation is the surest long term remedy.

If an international cease-fire is imposed, then Israel loses, because like cockroaches, terror organizations need only survive a conflagration to declare victory.

Jack has compiled an excellent Gaza Round-up Part II.

Seraphic Secret’s buddy, Jameel at The Muqata continues to live-blog the war. Superb work.

My mate, (I speak the lingo) Aussie Dave, at Israellycool, between swigs of beer—he is an Aussie!—is also doing a great job of live-blogging the war.

Update:This is unconfirmed but Joshua Pundit reports that IDF troops have just entered Gaza. May Hashem protect and guide them to victory.

IAF footage of air strikes on Hamas tunnels, used to smuggle arms from Egypt into Gaza—with the aid of The Muslim Brotherhood—strikes on missile depots disguised as greenhouses, and a strike on the expensive high-rise headquarters of Hamas.

In the back-stabbing world of Arab politics where “death to Israel” is the only common cause, this official statement from the Egyptian Foreign Minister is a blazing neon sign that Hamas is perceived as a greater danger to the region than the evil Jooz.

Too bad the European Jew-haters can’t come up with the same common-sense message. But the cultural and mental narcissism afflicting liberals trumps all.

And Haveil Havalim # 198 is up and live, this week hosted by Material Maidel—hey, is MM aware of Seraphic Secret’s Friday Footwear?

In her quick-witted commentary—very Carole Lombard—MM wonders if Seraphic Secret’s post about the Iranian Christmas Message is a bit angry.

Actually, we’re furious.

Hey, guess what kids, Faux Photography from Gaza, AKA Pallywood, is already underway.

The well informed and always articulate Joshua Pundit, nicely summarizes Operation Cast Lead, and points out that the AP office in Gaza was also hit by Jewish shrapnel. In a screenplay we refer to this as a well-crafted resolution.

Jack has put together a nice round-up of posts about the war. Jack is pressed for time, but he says that there is more to come.

At some point, the useful idiots in the west and in Israel are going to insist that the so-called Palestinians should get more aid, more money. Joe Settler sanely points out that the more money you give these genocidal thugs, the more Jews get dead.

My buddy Jameel at The Muqata, is live-blogging the war—and yes, it is a war.

And let’s not forget that my Aussie mate—I just love saying mate—at Israellycool, is also live-blogging the war.

Flashback: At the Nefesh B’Nefesh International Bloggers conference I met Israellycool for the first time. Aussie Dave is tall and trim and looks a bit like a Jewish version of Crocodile Dundee. Anyway, we’re standing there talking about, what else, blogging, and he starts getting all tech on me. He goes on about RSS feeds and other stuff and I go:

“What’s RSS?”

His jaw, I kid you not, just drops to the floor.

He’s like: You’re kidding, mate?”

I’m like: “Um, no.”

So he looks at me long and hard, at first totally bewildered at the ignorance displayed by yours truly, and then with real pity in his eyes because it hits him: Seraphic Secret is tragically backwards.

But he’s a good bloke—another great Aussie word—and he starts lecturing me on RSS feeds and other stuff, and the tech talk is just mind-numbing, so naturally my so-called mind just drifts away and I wonder if Mae Murray, real name: Marie Adrienne Koenig, might be the most forgotten and overlooked star of the silent movie era—evuh?

Aussie Dave finishes his RSS lecture and asks if I understand, so of course I nod my head like a bobble and tell him:

“Oh, yeah, perfectly.”

And he knows I’m just lying through my teeth.

Anyhoo:

Still wondering about poor Mae Murray.

And still not a clue about RSS.

Karen and I wish all our friends and relatives a miraculous happy eighth and last night of Chanukah. And if you want the perfect Chanukah gift—also excellent for a late Christmas gift—here’s a shameless plug for my novel. Another fine gift is my Emmy Award winning film.

The IDF on Saturday night released aerial photos of Hamas facilities targeted by IAF fighter pilots on Saturday in Operation ‘Cast Lead.’

The photos show the military training facilities Hamas has developed in Gaza, from where Israel forcibly evicted close to 10,000 of its Jewish citizens in August 2005 in hopes of establishing peace with its Palestinian Authority Arab neighbors.

Hamas embeds its military and training facilities in civilian areas, knowing that Israel is most careful about bombing such areas. Almost all the Gaza casualties are Hamas terrorists. The civilians who have been and will be killed, are, according to the Geneva Conventions, put at risk by Hamas, thus Hamas are responsible for their deaths, not Israel, who are defending themselves against terrorist aggression:

Article 28 of the Geneva Conventions: The presence of a protected person may not be used to render certain points or areas immune from military operations.

In short: Hamas are committing war crimes by using civilians as human shields.

As for the French who are accusing Israel of a disproportionate response, well, here’s a news flash: disproportionate response is exactly how wars are won. But then that’s not something the French would recognize since their military default is total surrender.
