Shiloh Israel Children’s Fund

Stop the carnage! The Israelis are killing civilians! Save the innocent Palestinian civilians! So goes the mantra that we’ve been hearing.

I recently saw video clips from a demonstration in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, which could have easily taken place in Iran. A Muslim women, in full Muslim garb, was filmed shouting to the Jewish counter-demonstrators across the street, “Go back to the ovens. You’re gonna need a big oven!” This kind of vile exploitation of American democracy and freedom of speech by Muslim Nazis is shocking to many Americans, but these kinds of abhorrent displays should have been expected, given the violent nature of Islamic extremism and its inroads into American society.

Lest we forget, the war in Gaza was started by a Muslim terrorist government that has been launching missiles at Israeli civilian population centers for the past eight years. That Muslim terrorist government was actually elected in free elections encouraged and supported by the Americans, the Europeans, and the Russians. And guess who voted for the Hamas terrorists? The “poor, oppressed” Muslim Arab civilians, the ones who send their young children to Hamas and Fatah military training camps to learn the art of terrorism and hatred, of “Death to the Jew and the Infidel”, as their Muslim preachers so proudly proclaim. That is how they raise their children and they do so proudly. They train their young children to hate and kill while simultaneously, the Shiloh Israel Children’s Fund and other Israeli organizations struggle to support camps where terror victim children can play soccer, enjoy field trips and try to regain some of the lost innocence of childhood that the elected Hamas and Fatah terrorist governments had stolen from them with their shootings on the roads, bombs at bus stops, and missiles in the air.

During WWII, the allies bombed German cities mercilessly and repeatedly, killing and wounding both Nazi soldiers and the civilians who elected Adolf Hitler, all with the clear understanding that justice was on their side, that in wartime, enemy civilians often perish along with the soldiers. And that is perfectly understood. Only with Israel is there a double standard in place.

No, I will not cry for the Hamas and Fatah civilians who have died along with the Hamas and Fatah soldiers. They are no more innocent than the Nazi civilians who were killed in WWII Germany, as their brethren were simultaneously murdering six million innocent Jewish civilians in the concentration camp ovens some 65 years ago.

Yes, as the historians tell us, history does repeat itself, and the anti-Semitism that we are facing today comes primarily from the Muslim world, which has its roots in the Jew-hatred of Islam’s founder, Muhammed. The civilians who worship him as a prophet are the same ones who elected the evil Hamas as their leadership and, according to the word “on the Arab street”, would do it again. I will shed no tears for such civilians.

The ground troops of the Israel Defense Forces (the I.D.F.) have just entered Gaza. We hope and pray for their success and minimal casualties on our side.

This attack on the Muslim terror organization known as Hamas should have been done several years ago, while we still had thriving, although besieged Israeli communities in Gaza, but that was not to be. In the Summer of 2005, our political leadership, led by former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, and gleefully supported by his then deputies Ehud Olmert and Tzippi Livni, foolishly and callously destroyed those wonderful communities that had literally made the desert bloom, in the naive hope that the terrorists would halt their rocket attacks, thus bringing peace on Earth and goodwill towards men, women and children. How blind and careless they were. After the expulsion and subsequent withdrawal of the IDF, the rocket attacks picked up speed and range, as there were no Israeli soldiers in Gaza to prevent the bomb and rocket factories from increasing their capabilities and expanding production, with massive funding and technical support from Iran and the political acquiescence and quiet financial support of the so-called Arab moderates who are relatively moderate only in their degree of adherence to Muslim Sha’aria (religious dictates) and the extent to which they oppress their women.

Finally, after months of speaking of the magnificent virtues of restraint as our children were repeatedly traumatized by the threat of war and terror always hanging over our heads, our corrupt governmental triumvurate of Prime Minister Olmert, Foreign Minister Livni, and Defense Minister Barak, while awaiting the Feb.10th elections and seeing their political parties’ plummeting poll numbers, have finally woken up and suddenly realized that rocket attacks on Israeli cities are an existential problem for Israel after all!

So the troops have finally gone in. We wish them great success in their mission and pray that the self-serving governmental triumvurate will overcome its myopia and understand that a ceasefire should not be discussed at this time. A temporary cessation of violence until our Feb.10th elections or a few months or even a year beyond that date is not sufficient. If we don’t destroy Hamas now, destroy their weapons smuggling tunnels now, collect their weapons now, and fully reconquer Gaza, we will be back in a similar situation or worse within the year.

And let the world remember before it’s too late, we Israelis are here on the front lines fighting the war on terror, but the ultimate sights of the terrorists’ weapons are aimed at the United States, Europe, India, China, and any other country in which Muslims are not in control.  If we don’t win the battle here in Israel and if we don’t receive your support in this battle, the terrorists will (once again) reach your borders and your cities.
