I wish I could let you know that the animals that did this to you would pay, but the IDF is only a shadow of its former self.
The West parties and gets fat while the Terrorist are hunting and training.
Unless we change this will not end well.
The bodies of three Israeli teenagers, who were kidnapped on their way home from religious school in the West Bank two weeks, have been found shot to death, the Israeli embassy confirmed.Rest in peace young men.
"It's 100% confirmed, they were found in a city called Halhul north of Hebron" in the West Bank, said Jonny Daniels, an adviser to Israel's deputy defense minister, Danny Danon, told USA TODAY.
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in an emergency meeting with his security Cabinet to discuss how Israel will respond, Daniels said. "Abu Mazen will have a price to pay," he said, using the nom de guerre of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, whose Fatah party rules the West Bank.
The news gripped the nation, Daniels said.

The problem isn't the IDF being a "shadow of its former self". It could do the job if required. The problem is lack of will on the part of the public and elected officials. The same as any other Western country. Except Israel has no excuses for sticking its head in the sand and ignoring that they are dealing with a bunch of animals with whom there is no real chance to make peace in the foreseeable future.
ReplyDeletewell said, but the news is saying that Israeli officers were relieved for mishandling a call claiming responsibility. thats why i went on my diatribe.
Deleteglad to here that its untrue but i'm still waiting for a military response. a massive, old skool Israeli throat punch to Hamas and the rest of the animals that did this barbaric thing.
The Israeli officers who were relieved were police, not IDF. The original call for help was mishandled by a police call center. As for the response: I, too, await a death blow. I fear it won't be like that, though.
ReplyDeletePlease remember to follow the money. Any major response will be followed by Arab retaliation which will be followed by an Israeli response. Does anyone realise how much money it will cost? The Israeli Defence Budget is under pressure at this time, so the Cabinet will have to factor in the cost of lost material lost lives, military stocks used,loss of workdays (sitting in shelters) in the civilian sector, international repercussions from EU and UN and USA and Arab countries. Will it be worth it?
ReplyDeleteI am all for the Biblical "eye for and eye" but it is not strategy or tactics.....
Nobody that has any understanding of the Middle East will accept that the possibility of a peace agreement between the Arabs and the Israelis has any chance of becoming a reality. This is not Northern Ireland; more like Iraq or Sirya with the alternatives being total extermination or endless struggle. At least in Israel the price to pay is a lot smaller.
But that is no consolation to the three parents. Or to the collective Israeli psyche.
But it is not worth the great outlay - unless great results can be assured, which is not realistic at this time.
And when it comes down to the greater view of the world, in the shadow of the enormous human tragedy in Iraq, Syria, Libya, Egypt, etc. etc. this is really small potatoes.
Peace!!!
small potatoes? three teens kidnapped and murdered is small potatoes?
Deletewe part company on this one.
that's the problem. too many people are doing calculations when a severe, sharp, timely retaliation is the only thing that the uncivilized will understand.
the Bible taught an eye for an eye because you were dealing with barbarity that we can barely understand. correction that we once thought was only found in ancient times. we're seeing a return of that type of savagery.
but just out of curiosity. what is "large" potatoes to you? what will it take for you to finally say enough is enough and its time to fuck up some Muslim Terrorists?
It looks like Israel is already getting revenge on this. They are bombing the shit out of Gaza Strip.
