January 24, 2008 -- "Israel predictably found itself on the defensive yesterday - under mounting international disapprobation for the simple act of defending itself against armed aggression.
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert pledged that he would "not permit, under any circumstances or conditions, a humanitarian crisis to develop" as a result of Israel's blockade of Gaza - the launching pad for hundreds of missile attacks by the terrorists of Hamas against the Israeli border town of Sderot.
Olmert spoke as hundreds of thousands of Palestinians stormed into Egypt to stock up on food and supplies after Hamas gunmen dynamited and bulldozed an eight-mile-long wall along the Gaza-Egyptian border.
(Imagine that - Egypt, just like Israel, maintains a security wall to keep Palestinians out of its territory. When was the last outburst of global outrage at Egypt for protecting its border?)
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak echoed the complaints of European officials, that the Israeli blockade of all shipments, save for emergency supplies, constituted "collective punishment" that was causing widespread starvation.
Left conspicuously unspoken, though, was the collective punishment meted out by Hamas, which controls Gaza, against the Israeli citizens of Sderot - who have absorbed as many as 50 rocket attacks in a single day for the past seven years.
The horrible irony of it all was summed up by Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni: "Israel is the only place in the world," she noted, "that supplies electricity to terrorist organizations that launch rockets at it in return."
Moreover, as she correctly added, "Hamas can change the lives of the people of Gaza in an instant - if it ceases terrorism."
Yet Hamas prefers to play a duplicitous game of escalating terrorism in hopes of provoking an Israeli response - such as the blockade, undertaken in self-protection, though it necessarily creates harsh conditions for the Palestinians of Gaza.
Yet the international community blames not Hamas, but Israel, for the resulting crisis."
The "international community" refers to anyone who hates Israel or the United States, and if you are at a loss to understand precisely which nations harbor such resentment then look at it this way; there are communities where citizens are subjects or vassals or outright slaves to the state. If Washington D.C. where a foreign entity...and believe you me we're not talking all that much of a stretch...it'd despise America. The denizens of Washington, which by the way should change its name to Stalingrad because continuing to evoke memories of old George is a sin against both man and nature, are over-taxed and defenseless peons who are not permitted to partake of the usual smörgåsbord of Constitutional rights afforded more fortunate districts.
But of course chattel and the masters who rule them despise free people. All Israel has ever asked for is the right to exist. And not for nothing, but all the Jews need do is denounce the US and within a fortnight they'd turn into the new darlings of planet earth.
