I've sent a post to Alois at Schmaltz und Grieben about Israel's justifiable attacks on Lebanon and Gaza, so there's no point repeating it here.
Suffice it to say
IT'S ABOUT FUCKING TIME!
I only hope Israel treats this as a real WAR, not just an incursion, not just a police action, not just a rounding up of the usual suspects or a retaliation. I hope they kick some serious islamothug ASS.
Lebanese Christians deserve to be free from Hezbollah threats, they deserve to live free and not as human shields for terrorists.
Palestinian Christians deserve the same, plus the ability to live in something other than the squalor created by those who care more about destroying Israel than about helping their own people.
We need to see what it looks like to fight to WIN. We've forgotten, it seems.
Europe needs to be told in no uncertain terms to fuck-off-and-die if they do or say anything un-supportive about Israel because (as they've already seen), they are NEXT if Israel fails.
The Arab world needs (FINALLY) to lose the ability to use the Palestinians and Lebanese as pawns in their sick game to distract the world from their own tyranny and chicanery .
And Israel deserves to defend itself, to make good on the promise to its people that "never again" would they go willingly to their deaths without a fight.
I pray they will demolish the will as well as the ability of these vermin to terrorize innocents anymore, and I pray just as hard that we will be watching when they do. I pray hardest that we will wake up and realize who the real villains are before that happens so we don't make the mistake of casting the bad guys as the good, and vice versa. Because nothing is more dangerous than pretending your enemy is your friend, especially if the only one who believes the lie is YOU.
Posting will be light to non-existent for a week. We're off on vacation (finally), but with luck I will return refreshed and ready to write on this or any other subject.
In the meantime, please pray for the people of Israel. They are in a fight they can win, let's hope they ignore their critics and DO!
