"When you sleep with a missile, sometimes you don't wake up in the morning."
-- Dan Gillerman, Israel's ambassador to the United Nations.
Ehud Olmert may have been promoted from nebbish to shtarker but a mensch he'll never be. The atrocities in Lebanon rest squarely on the shoulders of this yekl. The above photo of a 16-day-old baby whose head has been blown off, the fruit of Zionist atrocities in Lebanon, is one of dozens from the Qana and other massacres to be found here.
Did this baby's parents have any choice? What were they going to do, tell Hizbollah to bugger off? Gillerman seems to think so. Since when have civilians had a say in what their military/terrorist organisations do?
Yes, it is equally true that Israelis have there own gruesome photos from years of Hizbollah and Hamas suicide bombings, but these terrorist organizations were formed in response to the Israeli occupation of their lands.
David Pryce-Jones says:
Israel is the victim of terror, and its response to Hezbollah is a parallel to the American response to September 11.
This is true, but it's not right. Neither nation has ever bothered to identify the root cause for the terror committed against them. This arrogant dismissal of cause and effect has been catastrophic for the world.
Israeli Zionism, responsible for the nationalistic/religious mindset that places its people above all others, and American Imperialism, responsible for the nationalistic/religious mindset that places its interests above all others, are the twin blood brothers who have emerged from a hell of their own making.
Together they threaten the existence of every one of the rest of us. By taking on the Arab world, and by extension all Muslims, they are digging a grave for the whole world. The Americans, who in Iraq are the equivalent of Custer's army to the terrorist Indians, have given their full backing to Israel's Lebanese "Little Big Horn".
The Americans cannot win in Iraq. Israel cannot win their war against Hizbollah and Hamas by destroying Lebanon. Why can't they understand this? All the might at their disposal is never going to eliminate the solidarity being strengthened with every death of an innocent. Their own fable of David and Goliath should have instructed them. For years they have thrown their sophisticated weapons at rock-throwing Palestinians. It never stopped the suicide bombers for whom revenge was sweeter than a life of subjugation. They may eventually eliminate Hizbollah's weaponry from Southern Lebanon, but the rock throwing will never stop. Like Bush2's foolish "Mission Accomplished" in Iraq, the war between Israel and those over whom they hold dominion, will never end.
There can be no doubt that in the 20 days of this war, the Muslim world, including those who were once moderate, is now united in its hatred of the West. Meanwhile the West is anything but united. Bush and Olmert, along with their stooges Blair and Howard, can no longer count on support, tacit or direct, from Europe. Worse, the citizens of every Western nation are polarised. To paraphrase the old saying: Divided the West falls, united the Muslim world stands.
There can now be no resolution. Israel's insane retribution in Lebanon would have to be nothing less than the opening stages of World War III. Until it enters its terminal phase, the phase wherein Islamo-fascism and Judeo/Christian fascism cancel each other and everything else, perhaps the only winners in Lebanon will in be the only winners so far in Iraq: Halliburton and Bechtel.
