Israel is again being forced to choose between protecting its own civilians and the lives of its soldiers and the risk of harming Gaza civilians who are being used by Hamas terrorists as human shields.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is hoping to raise international awareness of the issues involved through/via the release Monday of a series of photographs, video clips and information on its website showing how terrorists use civilians as human shields during attacks on Israel.
“The purpose of the civilian presence is to have them serve as human shields, exploiting the fact that the IDF avoids harming Palestinian [Arab] civilians,” explains the Ministry on its website.
Brave filthy bastards, aren’t they?

Quite pathetic on Hamas’s part, isn’t it? What continually irks me, over at Bolt’s Palace, is when you get these knuckleheaded apologists touting off their nonsense that Israel is the bad guy because when they rightfully retaliate against Hamas militants, invariably Palestinian civilians are killed due to the fact these ‘freedom fighters’ cowardly launch their attacks from civilian locations. The blood of Palestinian civilians is on the hands of Hamas militants, not on the IDF.
PS These same knuckleheads continually portray America as the bad guy. Guess some folks just haven’t clue which side their bread is buttered on. Tools. Trolls.

If one asks oneself how Hamas and the “civilians” in Gaza gets away with presenting themselves the way they do, one easily comes to one of the weaknesses in western thinking they are exploiting. It is this idea that every human life is precious. This is hogwash. The life of a murderer is not precious. A murderer has made a statement to the world with his act: he is telling the world that he has stepped outside of the bounds of civilization. Civilization cannot abide such people and last. Once force has been initiated against others, reason is useless. Force can only be met with greater force. The “civilians” Hamas hides behind are the same “civilians” who voted for murderers to represent them. They are the same people who teach their children that the highest act they can commit is to kill themselves, while taking out others who are undefined except by an unreasonable hatred. These are not innocent people. Those who may be truly innocent are murdered by Hamas and their neighbors.
It is so discouraging to me to see the world so willing to perpetrate this kind of gross injustice by blaming the victims.

We’re losing the PR war against Islamofacism, partly because our own western media elites won’t support us, but also because we are just not as adept at presenting our side as the fanatics are. Israel should put up a media blitz, day after day after day, highlighting every atrocity committed by these Arab killers. Most of us, raised on a notion of duty and dignity, consider this whining, and we should damn well get over that attitude. It sure doesn’t bother them.
And we should tell the UN to fuck off our shores. They’re not on our side.
