The Israelis Are Not The Bad Guys!

The Israelis are not the bad guys! Of course, you would not know this by all the hand-wringing and cluck-clucking by the “world-wide” media. The latest “outrage” is the alleged destruction of a large building killing more than 50 civilians by an Israeli bomb. Israel has been pilloried and demonized for this act, even though they have apologized for the accident, if it was actually their doing. Not one word of condemnation from the “enlightened” for the cowardly Hezbolla terrorists that were using these civilians and others as human shields for their rocket launchers. What a complete disconnect from reality. Here we have the Hezbolla terrorists, hiding among civilians, firing over 2500 rockets into Israel with the expressed purpose of killing as many Israeli civilians as possible on one hand, and Israel taking out these rocket launchers trying desperately to NOT kill civilians in Lebanon. All the while, warning by radio, printed leaflet and even phone calls to these civilians to get out of harm’s way.
Since the building came down about FIVE hours AFTER the Israeli bomb attack, could it be that Hezbolla itself brought the building down with the women and children forced to stay inside? The most powerful weapon a terrorist can employ is a gullible and accommodating media with images of dead children.

"Peace" Movements Encourage War

“Peace” movements encourage war! Columnist Thomas Sowell has observed, correctly, that peace-niks and their idols, the United Nations and ‘World Opinion’, do not produce peace, but actually create the conditions for war. They prey upon a gullible public ill equipped by our public schools to analyze ideas and separate rhetoric from reality.

The Mid-East is a perfect example with all the calls (demands) for a cease-fire in the current action. The Mid-East has had more cease-fires in the past fifty years than any other place. If cease-fires worked, the Mid-East would be the most peaceful place on earth instead of the most violent. Throughout history, the futile and suicidal result of a weaker force attacking a superior force deterred war. Today, peace movements, the UN and World Opinion with calls for cease-fire and ‘restraint’ have removed this deterrent. Cowardly terrorist groups like Hezbolla know that they can attack an Israel and will be shielded from utter annihilation by ‘World Opinion’. As for calls for restraint, Israel has shown considerable restraint. I know this because Southern Lebanon is still on the map.
