COLLATERAL DAMAGE

Watching the news out of the Middle East has been heartbreaking. I was recently watching a video of people trying to get out of Gaza and saw little children running for safety. That is sad as well as heartbreaking. It is even more sad for the people of Israel. They have suffered pain and death from the unprovoked attack by Hamas. 

 

Israel has said that they are fed up with the insurgence of the thugs and criminals known as Hamas and will probably eliminate them from the earth. Being the cowards that they are, they hide behind women and children. They set up their weaponry in schools and hospitals. In so doing, they put thousands of innocent people at risk. They don't care.

 

Let's be clear. There is no Palestine. There are many people who claim to be Palestinians. They actually are itinerant Arabs looking for a home. The area they have selected for a homeland is actually Israel and has been Israel for thousands of years. They have been tolerated since Israel became a country. 

 

The problem is simple. Hamas, under the ruse of protecting Palestine, is actually putting all the residents of Gaza at risk. That risk is only going to increase. Hamas is going to be eliminated, and soon. 

 

Another problem is the liberals in this country all seem to be antisemitic. Shame on the student groups at Harvard and other so-called progressive schools. You obviously don't have a clue of how the real world functions. You would do well to pay attention to what is really going on and not just what the antisemitic liberal media and some of your professors are spewing. 

 

We are told that in any shooting war there is going to be "collateral damage." Hmmm. Sounds like a lot of death and destruction to me. When babies and their mothers are butchered, it isn't just collateral damage. It is murder pure and simple. 

 

When is the Arab world going to realize that they will never defeat Israel? Israel and her people are protected by none other than Almighty God. We also assist in that protection.

 

There has been talk about a two-state solution. The problem with that solution is the fact that Hamas and Hezbollah, with the financial assistance of Iran, want to kill every Jew on the planet. They are committed to that end. Therefore, any peace will only happen when these maniacs are gone. You cannot negotiate with evil. You cannot trust evil. When you confront evil, you must just kill it. 

 

Netanyahu has said if Hamas laid down their weapons, there would be peace. If Israel laid down their weapons, they would be wiped out. That makes it crystal clear. Under the present situation, peace can only happen if Hamas is gone.

WE ARE A BLESSED NATION

It's been a very interesting few days. Our Congress has been behaving like a kindergarten class. As a matter of fact, their behavior is worse than an average group of children.

 

It all reminds me of back when I was a child, I used to play marbles. The rules were simple. You drew a circle on the ground and put your marbles in the middle of the circle. From outside the circle you shot your taw, your shooter, and tried to knock the other people’s marbles out. When you did, you kept them. We called that playing for keeps. By the way, my mother didn't approve of playing for keeps, but that's another story. Anyway, I remember once my opposition player wanted to change the rules. I objected. Well, he picked up his marbles and went home. Sound familiar?

 

A group of conservative Members wanted the entire Congress to agree to their program, and when they didn't, the petulant Congressmen decided they would create havoc. And they did. Their actions cost the House Speaker his job. It is similar to taking your marbles and going home.

 

This world and this country need adults in charge. Today Israel is under a terrorist attack from Hamas. The whole world needs sound, solid leadership from us.

 

The news today is that Israel has hit the Gaza Strip hard. So hard that they may not survive. Their electricity has been cut off and no food or water is allowed in.

 

Of course Hamas is going to retaliate. Their forces in Lebanon have now fired missiles on Israel. The Lebanese would do well to read Genesis chapter 12 verses 1 through 3. God warns nations not to mess with Israel. If they do, it won't end well for them. 

 

We and the free world will come to Israel's aid. Our problem is we have an idiot in the White House. It is going to take a strong Congressional action to deal with this. Sooner or later we will show up. Israel is our strongest ally in the Middle East and we need them. 

 

We are a blessed nation. We have an obligation to protect Israel. It is a part of our debt for being the blessed nation that we are. 

 

The time has long passed for talk. The time has passed for deliberation. It is time for action. We need to help Israel eliminate Hamas from the face of the earth. We and they have put up with this for too long. 

 

Our Congress needs to get off their pompous rear ends, elect a new Speaker, and make sure Israel is secure.
