Political Cartoons by Glenn Foden

Those of you who have played the game of Hearts will understand this sentiment. Once you’ve started down the path of, “shooting the moon,” you’d better succeed. Make no mistake about it, Operation, “Protective Edge,” represents, in a very real sense, Benjamin Netanyahu’s, “shooting the moon,” and he’s already swallowed the queen of spades. He can not afford to leave a single heart on the table.

The good news in all of this is that unlike his predecessors, Bibi Netanyahu seems to understand this. He has said from day one that he would destroy all of the tunnels, and would destroy all of the rockets that his personnel could gain the possession of. Even in accepting one of those silly kumbayah style cease fires, brokered for no other reason than to establish that idiotic proportional response nonsense as a defacto norm to be imposed upon a population constantly faced with rocket attacks, kidnappings, suicide bombings, as a part of daily life, Israel’s current leader broke from the usual course of action in his insistence that he finish the job this time around. Bravo!

In the past, with each one of these micro wars, where the state sponsored terror groups felt that they had amassed enough weapons and capability to sustain a few weeks of war against Israel, they’ve taken great pains to provoke retaliation. Afterwards, a similar path has always ensued. Israel responded by laying a thorough ass whooping upon the offending party or parties, and the rest of the world railed against Israel for being too powerful in her reply. The United States has backed Israel, right up to the point where Israel came close to completing her mission, which was a total dismantling of the aggressor’s capability of one day soon continuing their aggression. We’ve seen it time and again, Israel is allowed to go so far, and then ordered to stop by the American President, all in polite diplomatic language of course.

This time however was different. President Obama did issue those orders, but this time, he was ignored. (Why shouldn’t he be? After all, he’s been more than willing to eschew America’s leadership role in every other instance of his foreign policy agenda thus far. In fact, if there is an Obama Doctrine, projecting American Weakness would have to be it.) Israel’s Prime Minister was stalwart in his dealings with Washington, telling our Secretary of State that he was dead wrong in his presumptive posture, second guessing a nation’s efforts to stave off the genocidal mad men who seek to kill every last person of Jewish faith on the planet. And for those who haven’t been clued in yet, the Islamists practicing that less peaceful variety of Jihad, the one specifically mentioned in their holy scriptures and teachings, have a saying. It is, “first the Saturday people, then the Sunday people.” What that means in a nut shell is that the genocide starts with the Jews, and after we’re gone, it’ll end with you Christians. Something for the useful idiots to think abut as they prepare themselves for the five times daily childish head banging exercise known as Islamic Prayer.

As I stated before, my only hope is that Israel went far enough this time. Peace will only happen in this region when Hamas, Fatah, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, and what ever other group of murderous thugs might exist has been thoroughly destroyed, their will to continue fighting broken, their weapons destroyed, and their numbers eliminated. They have proven time and again that they do not wish to live peaceably, coexist, or accept in any manner that a single Jew be allowed to live anywhere in the world. I also hate the idea that innocent civilians have been harmed, but are the civilians truly innocent. After all, they chose Hamas as their leaders, and have allowed Hamas to use their homes, schools, hospitals, and basements as platforms for staging and launching attacks. If the world were truly upset with these regrettable instances of collateral damage, perhaps the world should do something to keep these thugs from constantly launching such attacks and using their civilian population as a human shield.

No other nation in the world is as careful to protect the civilian population of her enemies as Israel. Try to find any instance of anyone taking the same precautions. You’ll not be able to find any. You’ll also not find any instances of actual genocides which are occurring with regularity around the globe receiving a small portion of the condemnation that Israel receives for not participating in the false genocide that she’s been accused of consistently. We’re in day two of this cease fire now, and part of the reason why I believe that Israel has successfully gobbled up the requisite hearts and bitch is that the U.N. General Assembly is already discussing how they can help Hamas rearm for the next round of attacks.

I’ll leave you with Pat Condell’s two latest rants, well worth the 12 minutes more of your time.

Hipster Russell Brand goes after Sean Hannity

People who are jerks tend to go after others who are jerks. Hipster comedian Russell Brand targets the human parrot Sean Hannity over the war in Gaza. Brand who is on record supporting ISIS, now supports Hamas in Gaza. Besides going after Hannity, he trashes Israel.

In my opinion Sean Hannity is a stupid propagandist devoid of any original thought. He regurgitates the daily talking points and contributes nothing to the political discourse. Russel Brand is an evil smug Hipster who openly supports Islamic groups like Hamas and ISIS. I don’t like either one, but in this case I support Hannity because although he is a dumb as rock, at least he is not supportive of Islamists.

You best bet, Russel Brand has a T-Shirt or poster of the Abu Waheeb.

Abu Waheeb

The ISIS fighter has become the new Che Guevara for the Hipster set. These are the type of people Hipsters like Russel Brand support. Too many on the Right still underestimate the power and evil nature of the Hipster movement.

How, “Never Again,” Is Much Better Than, “#StopFiringRockets,”

This is one of those instances where I’ll hear someone, or a couple of people, state a Universal truth in such a manner that it makes even better sense to me, and helps me to clarify my perspective. I’ve written before about the sheer idiocy of the, “proportional response,” a term invented by our friends who reside on the left side of the political aisle. This is the concept that says, regardless of the fact that side A initiated the hostilities with an unprovoked act of violence, the response to that attack can only be as heavy, as violent, or as destructive as an arbitrarily agreed upon level, determined by completely biased world observers. So, when Hamas fires 8000 rockets into Israeli residential neighborhoods, the UNHRC has determined that they are allowed to arrest somebody, provided that this somebody, is not an Hamas Leader. Never mind that this is a prescription for eventual suicide by the Israelis, a measure guaranteed to foment their demise, them’s the breaks. On to our video.

There seems to be some confusion in the world over the term, “never again.” Even as a child growing up in the 70’s, one of the few people of Jewish faith to live in West Virginia, I can remember that mantra being recited not only by those of us in the Jewish Community, but by almost all of our Christian neighbors as well. The phrase referred to the Holocaust, an event in history in which a maniacal demagogue attempted and came much too close for comfort in actually succeeding, to completely eradicate from the planet every person of Jewish descent, along with all others he deemed undesirable. 6 Million Jews, and 5 Million assorted others were systematically and efficiently killed by a ruling Socialist government, with no more thought than bureaucratic drones blindly following orders. Almost all of the 11 Million people who perished, did so peaceably, doing what the authorities had told them to do, right up until the bitter end. I have no idea what could possibly have been going through their minds as they followed the program laid out for them, but on some level, there must have been a faith that their fellow man would suddenly rediscover their humanity.

My Brother’s Father in Law is a survivor. The last time he saw his mother, she got into the other line, the one headed for the showers. At his mother’s instructions, he had stood on his toes at the age of 12, so that he would appear tall enough to work. He lost siblings, parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and grand parents, all so that he could listen to a growing population of morons claim that the whole thing never happened. What’s most ironic about the whole, “it never happened,” mantra of course, is that it is mostly being spread by people who are attempting to do the very same thing today. In case you did not know, or in case you didn’t pay attention to the video, Hamas is a part of the Muslim Brotherhood. This is the same fine group that includes a still vibrant Al Qaeda. It also counts CAIR, MSA, ISNA, and several dozen other supposedly moderate groups here in America as members. The Muslim Brotherhood was initially funded by Adolph Hitler, and as a group, has endorsed the genocide of all Jews on the planet since their inception. That has not changed.

The term, “never again,” simply means that we Jews will not go peaceably next time. If you want to kill all of the Jews, you’ll need to take us on fighting next time. And by the way, there always seems to be a next time. I realize that many in the world at large are somewhat confused by this concept, that Jews are not simply willing to be killed en toto. There are many in the world who view any act of self defense on the part of Israelis specifically or Jews generally, as an abridgement of the rules of politically correct moral equivalence. That is simply hard cheese that such people will have to swallow. They can not, nor should they be, helped. This belief that any people any where should just sit back and accept any attack leveled upon them, and answer it with restraint is nothing short of a sickness of the soul. This sickness threatens the very humanity that leftists claim unites us all and is the natural scientifically designated end of our evolutionary path. It is the people leveling those initial acts of aggression that deserve disdain, and quite frankly, deserve what ever response happens to be sent their way. I personally would shed zero tears should all who live in Gaza suddenly find themselves referred to in the past tense.

The term, “never again,” does not refer to the world sitting around a drum circle singing kumbayah. It does not mean that people are really nice now, nicer and more evolved than they were in the 1930’s and 40’s. So nice in fact, they’d never dream of doing the exact thing that they are doing in Israel today, which is attempting a genocide.

By the way, Israel left Gaza about a decade ago, so now what happens in Gaza, how its economy performs, how its people are fed, how their health care system works, all of it is Gaza’s and Hamas’ own doing. Yet the only thing Gaza and Hamas seem to feel worthy of their effort and resources is firing attacks against it neighbor, a neighbor by the way that boasts the highest per capita GDP in the region. A per capita GDP that dwarfs its closes competitor, and would love nothing more than a viable economic trading partner who would rather see goods and services crossing the border in place of rockets and troops. Hamas however is not interested in such trite details as the well being of her own people. The Muslim God has a blood lust, and to fully awaken this beast, they must finish the final solution their hero started 80 years ago.

Some of you out there may be saying to yourselves, “whew, I’m not Jewish, so I have nothing to worry about.” Unfortunately for you, we’re just where this blood lust starts, you’re where it all ends. The Caliphate can’t happen, the Twelfth Imam can not appear until all of the world’s Jews are dead. The role of the Twelfth Imam of course will be to rid the world of what ever remains that isn’t Muslim, and that doesn’t sound like much fun either.
