This morning while quietly perusing the paper and enjoying my bowl of cereal, I nearly choked on said contents of said cereal bowl. I don't know why, as I should be accustomed and immured to what made me choke, but here it is. In the world of nations, beating down on each other: Eritrea, Somalia, Sudan, Ethiopia, Ukraine, Russia, Armenia, ad infinitum ad nauseum and not to exclude those who are fighting within. Venezuela, Brazil, Hungary, the U. S, Israel. These lists can go on and on and on in most cases, even for centuries. It is just awful particularly in the poor nations, with those who have little waging war against those who have even less. Or nothing at all. Where it is a rite of a twisted manhood and culture to go out and rape some girls or kidnap them to be slaves Who'll take what little they have and then steal them away too, from their families and their own culture, their very lives.
So why then does an idiot woman, idiot being a generic term of reference to all politicians these days, why does this EU Commission chief aver oh so earnestly, in a State of the European Union address to the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, this such aggravating catering to the worst of the worst statement?
“What is happening in Gaza has shaken the conscience of the world."
Say what? What is going on in Israel has not shaken the soul of the nation, of the world? So, I guess all those people having bombs and missiles rain down upon them, into the homes where they live, into the places where they work, into the underground schools of their children, rained down upon Ukraine by Russia.... Nah, that's okay too. It doesn't bother us. Nor pictures of the ongoing horror of Somalia and Sudan where people walk around like skeletons. Where women are subject to rape as a daily occurrence, as children are born and die almost in the same breath. Sure, nothing to bother the soul here.
And why is that? How has a terrible massacre of Jewish civilians, cadet soldiers of age 18 and 19, newly inducted, no weapons with them, women and children, infants in arms, the elderly, the foreign workers, Bedouin workers of long duration, victims all, on a Saturday, a holiday of rejoicing, dancers, devastated, savagely brutalized in an outrage, perpetrated upon them by terrorists on a quiet October morning. An attack, a planned massacre waged upon these civilians.
Entire families burned alive, shot, massacred, babes in ovens, women and girls raped so violently their very pelvic bones shattered. And so many of the above taken as hostages, as bargaining chips - the living, the barely living, and the dead. All fodder for the ugliness and brutality of Hamas and their adherents, all those oh so CLEARLY NOT innocent civilians, the ones shooting off guns, attempting to mutilat the hostages and shrieking with joy: "Allahu Akhbar " for their 'victory'. Friends getting together. Entire families burned alive. Babes thrown in oven. Sister and brother roped together with wire and set afire. The mother raped and shot. Finally, the father killed.
This outrage was perpetrated not only on the living but also on the dead as well. The genitals of women were shot up and mutilated, as were the men's, even as women's pelvic bones were broken so savagely were they attacked. Men were beaten bloody for daring to try to defend a woman next to them. They might not even have known her. But these people did the right thing, carried their wounded with them, and for their troubles, and their caring, were shot, or burned in ambulances and dumpsters where they were incinerated. Hamas beasts were determined not to leave a soul behind, not the dead, not alive.
They took with them many of the remaining living, wounded, terrified and even the dead from various places in the small communities of the Gaza Envelope of southern Israel and for what? Not enough that they attack and kill civilians, but to be ghouls and vampires to take back dead bodies? But we know why, do we not? To serve as hostages, to hold these captives as bargaining tools. Tools of negotiation. You want 5 hostages back? Well, maybe we'll give you, maybe we won't. Maybe they'll be dead. Maybe they'll be alive. Maybe we'll stop in the middle and for each of those that we release, we want 1000 of your security prisoners. Yes, the ones who perpetrated violent bombings and terrorist attacks upon Israel. Within Israel, Be it a school or cafe or at corner kiosk. Or bus stop, all places open for our savagery. We want those heroes.
But of course, anything I mentioned above has nothing whatsoever to do with something that "touches the soul” of Europe. At least according to you and your cold hearted selves. Well, screw you, Europe. For we know what touches your soul. Nothing. Nothing at all, unless it can be turned around and used against people of the Jewish nation. With all the civilians being 'killed horribly and starved', our hostages in Gaza are starving to death, literally, presented to the public as walking skeletons, as Holocaust holdovers And basically, the world said, **** you all. It's just another Jew. What difference does it make?
On the other hand, when it comes to Hamas and the terrorists within, and their inhumane policy of embedding themselves within civilians, be it in hospitals, in schools, be it under your baby's crib, it matters not to the 'soul'. Their civilians, not too many at that, so many buy into the Hamas poisoned litany, and in their bloody hands and cooperation they deserve their deaths. So why do you cry for them, for those used as shields, as targets, as tools of war, for propaganda to display falsely to the world, claiming they are innocent victims of Israel even as it was Hamas, their own, who placed them in dangerous loss of life situation. Hamas.
As tunnels were dug under their homes, exits and entrances in their living rooms, arms depots beneath cribs and beds of their children. Patients in the hospitals died because they were used as Hamas bases and armories, places from which to ambush, requiring the IDF to take action, for one fights an enemy where the enemy is- their choice, their decision, their responsibility. The same with the schools and community centers. Both on the surface and underneath.
Then they cried piteously re the slaughter, the very one they engineered. Fell to the knees and wailed to Allah to save them, for the Europeans to save them. From the very war they started so beastly and brutally, in manner and intent.
Too bad!! One gets what one began and deserves.
But the world, as usual, bought every single lie, every single excuse and forgave them their misdeeds, blaming the results of those misdeeds, the deaths of civilians, and placed it upon those broad shoulders of Israel. Jews do come in handy do they not? Even as they dare to defend themselves, they are cursed for doing just that, are damned for doing anything and everything that any nation would do if and when attacked or awaiting definite attack upon it and indeed so has been done throughout history. But no, it is only what the Jews do their "misdeeds”, "war crimes”; only the defensive actions of Jews strike the 'soul' of Europe. Europe.
I hope this is not news to you, for if so, where have you been living - in a cave? Just make sure that the cave does not have any of Hamas or any 'innocent' Palestinian civilians within, kest you be fed into the maw of Hamas's war machine. Without a doubtful moment. Two days ago, there was a horrific terrorist attack in Jerusalem, at a time of commuting. Streets were packed with cars and people waiting on the corners to cross, people waiting to get onto a bus. Two animals driven by a third animal from East Jerusalem, got out of the car, climbed onto the bus and the rest ... Dead. Wounded. Those to die of wounds. This has been going on since the beginning of time and we will stand still no more, hoping you finally understand right from wrong. We have as much right to exist, as much legitimacy to be a nation, as proper a right to live in our own homeland as any and all do others.
A culture where a young man calls home in great glee from his victim's phone and says, "Be proud of me. I killed 10 Jews with my own hand. Yes, I'm coming home to show you the video." And his father stood on the other end of the phone and cried tears of joy and pride for that was his son, a Muslim hero, a hero of Hamas so bravely killing women and children. But it doesn't count for too much, for tsk, tsk, goes the world for at least an hour or two that day. After all it was only the Israelis, the Jews, barely touching the soul of the people of the world.
But when Israel goes on defense and when Israel goes on offense so as to prevent such another action, well there goes the soul of the world, in so manifestly wrong a manner. Forgotten they have all that we Jews, that we Israelis, have contributed to the world, in science, in chemsty, in medicine, in the arts, in architecture, to safety as we took on defense of the world attacking the nuclear reactors of Iran and Iraq, in defending Red Sea shipping lands from the Houthis. As we introduced the first set of codified laws of justice. To the Bible and the three major religious sects, Judaism and the two deriving from it - Christianity and Islam. And so much more. And all we ask is recognition, respect and peace.
And yet, with all this, with all the anger I feel, I also hear the words of an old favorite song written and sung by a star of Israel and by many others. It is called Yeheyeh Tov, the faith that it will come. someday, peace, and then, yehiyeh tov, it will be good. It is a song of longing for peace, the sentiment of so many Israeli folk songs. The longing for peace, the end to war, never ever to recur. A plaintive voice, in plaintive voice, trying to convince himself and the audience that it will be good It will be peaceful. It will be a good time to be alive.
Despite all the bloodshed in Europe, that continent drowning in our blood, deafened by the cries of mothers and fathers as their children were slaughtered before their very eyes, or kidnapped, or consigned to the claws of Nazis and their collaborators, over six million dead, disappeared, two thirds and more of Europe's Jews gone, in spite of all they had undergone, their sentiment was "It will be good. We will go out there. We will find our husbands and wives, our children, our parents, our aunts, our uncles, our cousins, some distant relatives and rebuild We will rejoin in marriage. We will build anew, have children marriages and have new children, rebuild.
Why? Because we have faith in our Lord. We have faith not only in our loyalty to Him, but in His loyalty to us. He promised us our land. This was made well known throughout the generations of Earth, this promise made to Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the Mothers and every single Jew down the line, down the millennia, down the ages. In fact, to anyone who has read the Bible.
So really, members of the European nations, do you think we give a fig about your soul that you claim has been wounded? You claim to cringe at the sight of so-called starving people. Well, take Evyatar from his dungeon Hell beneath Gaza and compare him to someone out there, of the Palestinians, choose randomly, as many as you wish, and you will not see anyone starving. Rather, you will see people walking with big bags of food slung over their shoulders, carried under their arms, wheeled along in carriages, bicycles and cars. And you will see Hamas stealing from their own and Israeli soldiers giving out food to the enemy. The same people who not only watched with joy when my people were slaughtered by the boatload and you think we're going to worry about what touches your soul? Sorry, folks. We will do what we have to do, what we are entitled to do, that must needs be done.
We, the Jewish people, know the time will come when there will be peace and no more war. We have sung of that for millennia, contributed that verse to the world. It will be realized. It will be activated, totally, completely, fully without having to constantly fight, without having to constantly look around to see where there are those who would kill us. We do not have to explain to people why we have the right to live. Why we do not have to justify ourselves living in our homeland.
Am Yisroel Chai - Lanetzach.
The nation, the people of Israel live - forever.
Through yesterday,
into today,
and for all the tomorrows to come.
Keep your hypocritical soul.
It is worthless as it is now.
