Magic Weapon
i pause, hesitate in fact to consider the consequence of what if.......
does hamas know something israel doesn't? does it have at its disposal a magic weapon that is going to make the jews vanish?
what is it that we as israelis don't understand, that is supposed to make us suddenly surrender to quassams being fired into sderot, and now a quassam being fired into a school (no one was injured) in ashkelon?
what don't we know about ourselves that hamas and most of the palestinians seem to think that we don't understand?
help me please with this answer because after nearly six years of nonsense and this new escalation i really am at a lose of ability to contemplate what must be my very own ignorance.
i repeat here quickly for the record, we pulled out of gaza, which should have given the palestinians the ability to prove that they would be a worthy partner and the chance to make a garden bloom BUT instead they elected hamas into power, continued to send quassams into sderot, increase weapon smuggling from egyptian border area, continue to build tunnels to attack israeli outpost, have recently kidnapped an israeli soldier..........etc, etc,
yes, yes, to my detractors or devil advocates, i understand we are at war. but if this is the argument from the other side, well, then they had better be ready for the israelis to fight a war too.
BUT NO, they actually aren't. the palestinians bomb us, turn their back on peace efforts, elect people who say to our face they want us all dead, and then don't seem to understand that we don't react the way they want us too. that we don't simply give up, leave, kill ourselves from our own cowardice fear, etc, etc.....
really, i need to know. are the israelis so stupid that we are somehow missing the point, or is it that the palestinians are so engulfed in their own lies, hysteria, brainwashing that they do not understand that in fact there is a central reality?
a universal truth which does exist until it doesnt anymore, AND THAT is that we the jews, the hated israelis aren't going anyplace.
that we are going to continue to build a modern country, with a modern economy, go forward with learning including science in bio-chemistry and computers, banking, general industry and continue to try and be a part of western civilization.
and therein is the rub, the palestinians for the most part i believe want to be part of modern civilization, but perhaps not enough to leave their hatreds sleep and dissipate. we have built a fence for sure that keeps out suicide bombers and helps our security, but the real fence is in the minds of the palestinian society which refuses to knock down the walls that were built by the ill foundations that their entire system rests on. the corruption is absurd and it only hurts the palestinian more and more.
unless they have a secret weapon, a death sentence that can be carried out on all of the israelis, they had better wake to the reality of our world before it is too late for them.
