The return of Moloch

Posted on January 19, 2009 | Comments Off on The return of Moloch

No, in my support of the IDF, I haven’t forgotten the innocents of Gaza. Namely the children who suffered and died during the late unpleasantness. But it’s not enough to say they were the victims of the fighting, which Hamas started and continued even after the IDF took them under fire. Hamas, and the PLO before it, have long sacrificed the children of Gaza and the West Bank in the name of a higher hate. They call it jihad. But it’s really much older. It’s Moloch, the child destroyer, come again.

MORE:  Meanwhile, the unilateral IDF truce in Gaza isn’t open-ended. If fired upon, they fire back.

Buy a gun

Posted on January 19, 2009 | Comments Off on Buy a gun

This is Instapundit’s somewhat surprising advice for any Jew or their supporters who feel threatened by these mad Musslemen and their scum supporters who invade Jewish neighborhoods with threatening anti-Semitic demos. Fortunately most of this is going on in Britain, Australia and Canada. Gun laws are rather restrictive there. Not so here. Of course the laws differ from state to state on when you’re allowed to shoot somebody. Generally speaking the perp has to be stealing or destroying your property on your property. But if it makes people feel better just to have some .45 Long Colts handy for use, it works for me.

Brothers In Arms

Posted on January 18, 2009 | Comments Off on Brothers In Arms

Black Five has a good video on the men and women of the IDF which, inronically, uses an anti-war song to show how much we have in common with them: liberal democracy, professional military, and many of the same enemies.

MORE:  While you’re at it, send them something via PayPal. In other words, support the IDF.

It’s the religion, stupid!

Posted on January 17, 2009 | Comments Off on It’s the religion, stupid!

As the IDF continues to push infantry into densely-populated Gaza City, where the brave leaders of the Hamas jihad are believed to be hiding in the basement of a hospital, Washington apparently is working on yet another doomed-to-fail ceasefire to keep the dictator’s club happy.

You’d think American politicians would be smart enough to have figured out what the secular liberal newsrooms of Big Media can’t: that Hamas is a religious movement intent on taking all of Israel back for the Muslims who once controlled it. That’s the reason for their rockets and why no ceasefire will work for long or do anything but allow them to resupply until they can start all over again.

UPDATE: It’s official. Happily, there are no immediate plans for the IDF to withdraw, however. Good thing, as Hamas followed the announcement by launching eight more missiles. And young IDF soldier Gilad Schalit is still their prisoner. Some Israelis feel betrayed by their own government.

Funny how kids, even Palestinian ones, can always pick out the democratic soldiers.

Under the rocket rain

More eloquent than the usual talking head because simpler and more ordinary: PJTV’s Joe the Plumber. Especially since the usual talking head can’t be bothered with Israeli children but only Palestinian ones.

Her first word: Jerusalem

Posted on January 9, 2009 | Comments Off on Her first word: Jerusalem

Belaynesh.jpg

Israeli consul general Belaynesh Zevadia of Houston was the most interesting aspect of Thursday’s well-attended service of solidarity and hope at the JCC. A good rebuke for the uneducated who think Jews are a particular race, she is one of fourteen thousand Ethiopian Jews who have immigrated to Israel. Alas, the microphone wasn’t that good and she was hard to understand, but she epitomizes something she said in San Antonio in 2006: “Everybody knows about the Israeli conflict. Nobody knows about what’s going on in Israel.” Thank Big Media’s laziness for that. She also said the first word she spoke as a child was "Jerusalem." Mr. B. and I enjoyed the service, especially the cantorial singing and the prayer for the safety of the IDF. But we had to leave early to get home in time to make supper for Mrs. Charm.
