I think most would be hesitate to second your thoughts for fear broaching the emotional appeal. I, for one, and especially after this, agree with you utterly.

Israel needs the keys to the handcuffs we placed on her. 

Hopefully, we just handed them over.

thousands of Palestinians took to the streets of Gaza to celebrate.

Let’s hope they celebrated by firing their weapons into the air at a sharp trajectory.

i condemn the act of killing of innocent rabbinical students, but i dont agree with your concluding remark.

this may shed some light of real understanding of the situation out there

No one will be safe until terrorists like these are wiped from the face of the earth.

Mystic Saint,

You misapprehend my anger.  There will always be nutcases out looking for innocent victims too slaughter, whether with a bomb belt in a crowded bus or marketplace, or with a gun.

What I find reprehensible and inexcusable it the “thousands” of Palestinians in Gaza who took to the streets to celebrate and their “government” which put out a press release applauding the slaughter.

As for the video you cited, it is, in the end.little more than an apologia for those who are now raising their sons and daughters to be homicide bombers and fanatical murderers.  Certainly not the sort of people entitled to a state of their own.

“Poverty of goods is easily cured; poverty of the mind is irreparable.”

That video is an appeal to emotion, not reason. Much the way Hitler’s rousing oration sparked nationalistic pride in his listeners, and we know what they went on to do after that.

It’s called “Occupation 101”, yet the occupation in Palestine is self-imposed. There is no question that the Democratic state of Israel would, and in many cases has, assimilated those chose to live in it peacefully.

Whether or not the Jewish people should be there is a non-issue; they’re already there. You can’t move that many people out of a country. The goal that remains is for the two states to live peacefully. I don’t see how blowing up innocent civilians is going to accomplish that, and it is disgusting that the American Left, which has always claimed to stand for humanist ideals, would champion—or even excuse—the cause of such abhorent violence.

Mystic, you should be ashamed of yourself.

If Israel reacts the world will condemn their actions as terrorism against the innocent Palestinian people. The world has long ago decided that Israel is the obstacle to peace no matter what the provocation, as the innumerable condemnations of Israel at the U.N. and none against Palestianian terrorists are ample witness.

No matter the age or state of health, for a military man it is always glorious to tilt at windmills, rescue a fair Dulcinea and be a gallant knight in armor in a glorious cause.

Well yes, as the late William F. Buckley once noted, when the Left’s intelligencia noted the failures of their socialist experiment (read: the USSR), they shifted their focus on the “oppressed” as a new way to champion the proletariat cause.

The UN is nothing more than a collective of corrupt entities who exist at the pleasure of the international Left and continue to garner that support by holding themselves forth as victims and scapegoating Israel and, lately, the United States.

This isn’t going to end until one side or the other is completely wiped out.

I’m on Israel’s side. They’re the civilized ones.

Definitely one good way to look at it. Picking a side is the adult thing to do.

NEWS RELEASE

CCRKBA SAYS PRESS PURPOSELY DOWNPLAYS KEY ROLE OF ARMED STUDENT IN JERUSALEM

BELLEVUE, WA – An armed student at Jerusalem’s Mercaz Haray seminary played a crucial role in stopping a gun-wielding terrorist Thursday, but the American press is downplaying his heroism because it proves that armed students can stop campus gunmen, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.

Yitzhak Dadon, 40, was described as “a private citizen who had a gun license and was able to shoot the gunman with his pistol” by reporter Etgar Lefkovitz with the Jerusalem Post. However, many news agencies in the United States are downplaying Dadon’s decisive role in the incident.

“Yitzhak Dadon is a hero,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, “and he is living proof that armed students have a place on college campuses.

Thankfully, his quick action was reported by the international press, including Mr. Lefkovitz, so unlike incidents here in the United States where the press was able to completely ignore the actions of armed students or teachers, the truth about this incident will not be suppressed.

“Mr. Dadon is not going to become a victim of this conspiracy of silence,” Gottlieb continued. “Elitist American college administrators, the national press, nor anti-gun politicians can sweep this incident under their rug.”

Internationally published reports say Dadon studies at the yeshiva, and had his pistol when the shooting erupted. When the gunman emerged from a library, Dadon reportedly shot him twice in the head. The gunman was subsequently shot by the off-duty soldier.

“Yitzhak Dadon’s apparently well-placed bullets interrupted a rampage,” Gottlieb said. “What a pity that someone like Mr. Dadon was not in class last April at Virginia Tech. What a tragedy that anti-gun extremism would keep him from attending class at Northern Illinois University. He would never be allowed to teach at Columbine High School, hold a job at Trolley Square in Salt Lake City, or go shopping at Omaha’s Westroads Mall.

“America’s acquiescence to anti-gun hysteria has led to one tragedy after another,” Gottlieb stated. “This disastrous policy has given us nothing but broken hearts and body counts, and it’s got to end. The heroism of an armed Israeli seminary student halfway across the world sends a message that we needn’t submit to murder in victim disarmament zones. That’s why his actions are getting such short shrift from America’s press. It’s a story they are loathe to report because it affirms a philosophy of self-reliance that they despise.”
