What Prime Minister Ohlmert Should Say To The World
My mother e-mailed me this link to a blog in Israel. I agree with the author Ben Caspit completely. Well worth reading the entire piece.
Today I am serving as the voice of six million bombarded Israeli citizens who serve as the voice of six million murdered Jews who were melted down to dust and ashes by savages in Europe. In both cases, those responsible for these evil acts were, and are, barbarians devoid of all humanity, who set themselves one simple goal: to wipe the Jewish race off the face of the earth, as Adolph Hitler said, or to wipe the State of Israel off the map, as Mahmoud Ahmedinjad proclaims.
And you - just as you did not take those words seriously then, you are ignoring them again now. And that, ladies and gentlemen, leaders of the world, will not happen again. Never again will we wait for bombs that never came to hit the gas chambers. Never again will we wait for salvation that never arrives. Now we have our own air force. The Jewish people are now capable of standing up to those who seek their destruction - those people will no longer be able to hide behind women and children. They will no longer be able to evade their responsibility.
Every place from which a Katyusha is fired into the State of Israel will be a legitimate target for us to attack. This must be stated clearly and publicly, once and for all. You are welcome to judge us, to ostracize us, to boycott us and to vilify us. But to kill us? Absolutely not.

Good for Israel. I have called, and will continue to call weekly, my Congressman, Senators, the Congressional Leadership and the White House to FULLY support and back Israel in this war against the terrorist barbarians.

Wow. Now if they only had the will to go all the way and finish the job…

Finish the job… Curious what you mean by that?

IT’S TIME THAT ISRAEL STOPPED APOLOGIZING FOR HITTING SUSPICIOUS TARGETS WHERE CIVILIANS ARE LIVING.
NOBODY IS ACCUSING HEZBOLLAH FOR SHOOTING KATYUSHA ROCKETS INDISCRIMINATELY WHETHER AT HOSPITALS, OLD-AGE HOMES,ORPHANAGES ETC.

“Finish the job,” for those of us whom are uneducated or on the side of the terrorists means, I hope they go all the way to Damascus and Tehran. I hope they take out the nuclear weapons that America is too weak to do. I hope they kill every terrorist on the way.
Ya see, I am pro-peace. As long as bin Laden’s son and he are still breathing the same air as I, I feel sick to my stomach. Every terrorist dead is a good thing.
There are many Muslims who would love nothing more than to be left alone in peace. This is not possible while these cretans roam the earth.
They are not men. They hide behind women, because at least women have the balls to stand up for themselves. Cowards, they are! Do you see them crying over the children they force to stay in the buildings 8 hours after the it was hit so they could blow it up and blame it on Israel?
I hope I’ve made my position on this issue perfectly clear. I thought I had, but I forgot there were people from the Middle East who may read this site.
It is to you I apologize for not being clear. I cannot wait for the day when the slautering of innocent people is over. I cannot wait for the day when all the dictators are dead and gone. And I cannot wait for the day when you and I can talk about much more pleasant issues. Have a good day.

Now that is much clearer. Just making sure you didn’t mean kill every Muslim you can find and let God sort them out.
Happy birthday Ernie Pyle

I’m kind of dissappointed after reading the comments, that everything is put into black and white. What about the grey area. First of all you use the word “terrorist” so loosely. I am a college student from the US and I’m living in turkey for the summer. Being here gives me a different perspective on things. We label terrorists at our own convience. What makes Kurds freedom fighters and Hamas terrorists. Thet are fighting for the exact same causes. Alot of the “terrorists” from palestine have seen their innocent civilians killed as well and have therefore dehumanized the jews as animals and barbarians much the same way you label the “terrorists” such as bin laden. I absolutely do not feel that any kind of killing is justifiable by anyone, not because I value every life equally but because killing has never brought a solution. Dealing with the problems that cause terrorism are. We have never once tried to figure out why Bin laden would want to attack the US, I mean we trained him to fight the russians in afghanistan so he is using our own training against us. In case no one else was listening he wanted the US out of Saudi Arabia, all the other demands are just added on in order to get support from the other muslims. Saudi government is oppressive to it’s people and spends almost none of it’s oil money on infrastructure. Instead of condemning this we support the saudi government. All of these little things get layored on top and become a complicated web that can never be as clear us “US” and “THEM”. We ignore any sort of history that tells a different story then what we see in the media. I stumbled upon this website accidently and felt compelled to respond to the previous comments. As intelligent people we must question and try to have open dialogues about issues instead of create barriers that isolate us with the rest of the world. Travel the world and open your eyes to other views.

According to the Bible, in the end-time Israel will suffer terrible losses, but God will spare a modicum who will accept Jehoshua as Messiah!

Israel will suffer extremely, but a remnant will be spared who will then repent and accept God’s Mesiah, jehoshuh Christo.
