The enemy who demands your demise burn their children; just as God told you they would; you condemn those who protect their children for being too successful –whether IS, ISIS, Hamas or whatever. But then, America without God is just a mass of disconnected persons. Israeli action is met with a blood and gore media blitz. Many, if not most, photos are staged, stolen from wars in other countries and touched up. Who needs reality when they have photoshop? The lie after the lie; the alleged and debunked Jenin “massacre” is a great example. Palestinian leadership played it to the hilt. Except, in the end, even the United Nations was forced to admit it was entirely a lie.
Now along comes Professor William Schabas, masquerading as a Human Rights representative, telling London-based Arabic-language newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat on Wednesday that, “Even if Spiderman was heading the probe, they [Israel—MBM] would’ve attacked him.” One would be very hard-pressed to find a more blatantly stupid statement. He may be a “professor” and he may think that makes him qualified for something…but then, so am I so I guess I am qualified to state that he has no inkling what he is doing and has ensured that nothing he ‘discovers’ can possibly have any value. He clarified the goal of the investigation as ‘not to find any party guilty,’ but to provide the facts usable as trial evidence. Of course, he is only going to Gaza because nobody who has any sense will speak with him.
ISIS has an army of around 50,000 fighters in Syria and another 30,000 in Iraq. Let’s look here at a few interesting numbers.
In 2007 Hamas captured the Gaza Strip from Fatah by killing hundreds. Since then seventy thousand (right 70,000) Fatah persons have continued to receive monthly salaries, at a cost of nearly $1 Billion dollars a year, paid for by European and American taxpayers – but have done exactly zero work. If they tried to ‘work’ they would be shot by Hamas. Now, Hamas’ biggest demand is that an additional 40,000 parasites be added to that role, for an additional $420 million dollars per year. Those 40,000 add to the fifty and thirty above.
Okay. Got that now? For seven years, tens of thousand of professional parasites get paid by you and do absolutely no work, and the big demand is to add 40,000 more.
Actually, that is not quite accurate. 70,000 in Gaza. There are also an additional 90,000 PA ‘workers’ in Judea and Samaria paid by you, through your ‘donations’ to Fatah – though some of those do actually perform some function.
Sheikh Abdullah Yusuf Azzam describes IS and al-Qaida ideology: “The jihad warriors” are those who write the history of nations, because the history of nations is written only in sweat and blood. They are the ones who build the palace of glory, because palaces of glory are built only by skulls and limbs severed from the body.” Remember the burnt children!
This is “Economic Jihad” – take the infidel’s money and use it to buy weapons against him. But we are forgetting the drug trade, fomented against you as an additional Jihad dimension against the west. We’ll leave drugs for now.
Emma, your shade cries out: “Give me your tired, your poor, / Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, / The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. / Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, / I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” The catastrophe is that this beautiful text now describes your (Emma’s) ultimate homeland and no longer your adopted one. The door that was is now horribly tarnished. The door that is, is battered, but continues to work for those in need. Hundreds of thousands of former ‘blacks,’ are now proud Israelis, serving their country in every capacity, at every level.
This Battlefield is not with tanks alone won. The hardened hearts are adamant. America, you must decide to live and not die. The price is ripe, the time is late. The world still needs you – and those of us that understand, still respect you; but not for much longer as things are going. Please, please wake up!
