| Palestinian Arab Aggression Will Never End |
| 2011-11-01 |
| No, the terror will continue so long as Israel and the IDF merely retaliates against each and every separate Muslim Arab crime against the Jewish state’s civilian population. As one person, commenting on a blog, stated: “Israel’s taking out a few rocket launchers is like giving aspirin for cancer. It’s only a band aid - not a cure.” ... Predictably, the mainstream media attacked the victim, Israel. The BBC, CNN, and the New York Times all blamed Israel during this latest unprovoked Palestinian attack, giving the usual pass to the terrorists. This twisting of the truth must give great joy and comfort to the ghost of Josef Goebbels; Nazi Germany’s Minister of Propaganda. But if the Israeli government does not inflict far, far more intensely painful responses to the terror bosses of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Al Qaida, the Muslim Brotherhood, and all the human cockroaches who infest the Gaza Strip, then the missiles will continue to strike at southern and central Israel with increasing lethality and horror. ... So many times have such slanders and falsehoods about this Jewish heartland been spewed by Arabs and their supporters that now the world cannot comprehend the immoral, unspiritual and unhistorical fabrication that they have perpetrated. That the morally bankrupt United Nations vomits such lies endlessly is one thing, but that Hillary Clinton and United States President, Barack Obama, repeat it and hurl it at Israel is shameful. But we know by now that neither of them are true friends of the Jewish state. ... So, in the face of the villainous campaign to delegitimize and demonize the embattled Jewish state by the Arab League, the Muslim world, the Left and the execrable international and national media - with few honorable exceptions - Israel must realize that it is time to weather the storm by responding both to Hamas and terrorist crimes and aggression with a terminally painful and crushing rejoinder. It must also decide that, if needs be, it is better to be hung for a wolf than a sheep. After all, whatever restraint Israel shows in the face of Muslim Arab terrorism and barbarism, she will still be vilified, slandered and pilloried by a hostile and unsympathetic world. And whatever concessions she makes, one truism will always remain: Palestinian Arab aggression will never end. Hat tip: Israpundit.com Also two pictures that didn't make the MSM. |

| #7 Kill the leaders and they dissolve into civil war until a new leader arrives. Kill those leaders and they dissolve into civil war again. Eventually the more militant ones are all gone. I think the pushing them into the Sinai is not a bad idea either. Israel would be vilified for a decade or so but that's small change compared to what's going on now. |

| #6 'Tis a WIN-WIN for the Paleo, Regional MilTerrs - technically, they get to keep mil attacking Israel while putting the entire or predominant burden of econ developing the new Paleo Stare on Israel + the US-West. |

| #5 The problem is not the leadership of Hamas, or any of the purported "leaders" of the Palestinians. It is the Paleos themselves. And their foul religion and culture and all the other Muslims that goad them on. Israel could just sweep the Gazans into Egypt and shut the door behind them. Then offer to do the same on the West Bank into Jordan unless the Paleos behaved themselves. No "second chances", either. Once out, they are gone for good. |

| #4 I think Israel should take a look at the Phoenix Program and watch Godfather. In most cases they already know who the bad guys are. Next time there is a rocket attack take out the leadership of Hamas. Even better arrange a spat/miscommunication between the Pals and Iran and then take out the leadership so others get credit. |

| #3 This continuing nonsense can be attributed solely to Israel, because of its utter unwillingness to do what every other country on Earth would do when faced with an intransigent and violent enemy. Yet Israel so revels in its own feelings of guilt and *potential* guilt so much that it allows its own citizens to be murdered, instead of kicking all of the violent people out for good. It is like a sane person trapped in a room with an insane person fixated on killing them. Focused entirely on killing them. And yet the sane person just tries to pretend the insane person away, only reacting to attack by gently pushing back, never attacking themselves. And they give the insane person endless gifts and promises of more if they will just stop trying to kill them. It doesn't work. It should be no surprise that the rest of the world is losing patience with Israel. They cannot blame the insane Paleos, because they are insane, and they have never really lied about their murderous intent. But Israel has no such excuse. Time and time again they could have resolved the problem, but have refused to do so. Were they to just act decisively, ONCE, then this would finally end. |

| #2 If the settlers take a page from Vlad's ideas on turks, I'll wager Ham-ass will really start to panic. |

| #1 Wretchard at Belmont Club has an excellent essay, "The Pound of Flesh", where he notes that Israeli settlers are taking matters into their own hands and are retaliating at levels that "the palestinians don't like" because their government is reacting to terrorists as if they were legitimate combatants under the Geneva conventions. |
