No Apologies IsraeL
An Israeli air strike inadvertently killed Ar-ab civilians.
Well guess what?
The civilian deaths may be sorrowful and lamentable, but they also were perfectly justifiable.
Israel missile kills two in Gaza reports the frenzied media.
What they FAIL to mention or emphasize is the following:
The attacks are to stop militants firing homemade rockets at Israeli towns near Gaza, Israel says.
Reports quoting eyewitnesses said an Israeli missile just missed a car carrying militants and hit a residential property. The militants fled into a nearby field, unharmed.
It would be redundant to state that yet again Israel stands accused of barbarity for inflicting civilian casualties as part of a legitimate military operation. Did y’all get that? ..” a legitimate military operation.”
A-rab and Muzlim terrorists target civilians without so much as a meek outcry. What part of “target” does the press and the U.N. and Amnesty flippin International not comprehend?
The Ar-ab response? Predictable.
As the funerals went ahead, militants fired three more rockets, bringing the total to more than 140 this month, an Israeli military source said.
“The BBC’s Alan Johnston in Gaza says the Israeli air force often carries out its air strikes against militants in very crowded areas and innocent bystanders can be hurt or killed. “
Civilian casualties are unavoidable during War. Unlike their Ar-ab neighbors, however, Israel does not put their tanks in “mosques” or temples, and they do place militants among women and children and then rage when they get hurt or killed.
Accidental deaths accompany wars. They always will. What makes them newsworthy in our mainstream media apparently is when the deaths are those of our “enemies”.
Alleged torture at Gitmo, and Guantanamo Bay are splashed on headlines. But the savage mutilations of Privates First Class Kristian Menchaca and Thomas Tucker don’t warrant outrage by the Hollywood self proclaimed elites now do they?
Who decides which deaths are worth reporting?
You want to cover “innocent deaths” eh?
How bout the deaths of thousands civilians in the World Trade Center…I bet there’s a great deal we still haven’t read about them.
Terrorists hide amid the civilian population, thus making their own people “legitimate military targets.” And they know it.
Israel has excercised more restraint than humanly possible.
She is fighting for her very life.
The Press can continue to demonize our own Armed Forces and Marines for causing civilian deaths in Iraq. In fact , they can revel in it.
And we can continue to extend unending, witless apologies, just as Israel is doing now.
Or…maybe not.

THANK GOD ISRAEL DOES NOT BELIEVE IN FIGHTING A WAR WITH THEIR “”ARMS” TIED BEHIND THEIR BACKS…
I GUESS THERE WILL BE CASUALITIES WHEN MISSLES AND BOMBS ARE DROPPED IN RESPONSE TO ATTACKS ON THE ISRAELI POPULATION..

As long as the Arabs, nee Palestinians insist on committing acts of terror from within heavily popluated areas, there will be bystanders killed. The palestinians know this, the “civilians” know this, too.
The Westerm MSM seems to have trouble grasping this, though.
Stand tall, Israel!

The biggest enemy of the western world is the MSM. They seem to thrive on bashing everything we believe in.

As long as those scum think they are safe in shooting from the midst of civilians, the practice will continue. It’s very simple; make a reasonable effort to avoid injuring the civilians, but do what it takes.

Nice post Angel. Wish we had the will to defend ourselves like Israel does.
Take care.

In the past, I have held Israel partly accountable for the violence in their region . . . well, for several reasons. But now I’ve changed my mind. I feel sorry for the Israelis. They are almost completely surrounded by morons.

No one will EVER, EVER convince me that the media is an impartial purveyor of the truth.
They have an agenda… and that agenda is the destruction of Norman Rockwell America.
