"All Jews will die." "Look out for your children, we're gonna kill all the f***in' Jew children." "You Jews need a big oven, man." "We're gonna finish what Hitler started."
Sweet, huh? At every pro-Palestinian demonstration/rally/riot around the world these were the slogans being shouted out. Especially in Toronto and Fort Lauderdale! And people smiled when they shouted them.
Did you know that in the weeks heading into this war between Israel and Hamas (and let this be a very clear point, it is a war between Israel and the treacherously evil Hamas, not Palestinians and Israelis)Hamas went into a wedding reception in the Gaza area, pulled out rifles and slaughtered over thirty wedding attendees? They then murdered the groom by bashing his head in. Why? They dared to play music and dance at their wedding. That's the crime. Music and dancing. You see, Hamas and their fanatic ilk do not allow such simple pleasures and they murder anyone who likes them.
Did you also know in that same time frame they gathered up over a hundred Palestinians that voted for the other guy, led them to a public square and shot them dead, in front of everyone including children on their way to school. Every last one of them dead. No trial, no chance to defend themselves. They voted for Fatah - guilty. That's the Hamas idea of a democratic election. You vote for the other guy and you die. I can only imagine what kind of threats took place before that supposed democratic election, that Rice was so proud of, three years ago. No wonder Hamas won!
How do I know about these murders? One very brave Palestinian filmed these occasions while they took place and somehow, managed to get the film out of Gaza. You can see the film on Youtube. I think it is called The beauty of Gaza, the ugliness of Israel. That man, whoever he may be, is my personal hero. I pray every day that he wasn't found out and murdered by Hamas.
When I listen to the incredibly gullible Left-Wingers, who believe every single piece of Hamas and Palestinian propaganda out there, condemn Israel and call for its destruction etc. I can't help but wonder if they are from the same planet that I'm living on. Do they truly not see through the Hamas BS? Like the pictures where Hamas government was supposedly meeting in the dark because Israel had 'cut off' the power on the strip. When you looked to the right you noticed the curtains were drawn and daylight shone through the cracks. It was staged. They also failed to mention that the reason power had been 'cut off' was because one of their rockets had destroyed part of the power plant. They also failed to mention that power went on as soon as the plant was fixed. Nor did they mention that Israel only supplies a portion of the Gazan power. Hamas controls the rest.
A Holocaust survivor once told me that Jews will forever be the world's scapegoat because God has chosen us to be so. "We are the canary in the mine, Dollie," she said. "God can see how the world's soul is doing by the way the people treat Jews."
From the hatred spewing out against Israel and Jews right now, I guess it's safe to surmise that the world's soul is in a terrible way.

We live in Canada, a socialistic kind of democracy. As citizens of this great country, that turned 100 in 1967, what do we cherish the most? Freedom? The right to live safely?
What if the people on the borders of our democratic country were suddenly bombed 40 and 50 and 60 times a day by Islamic terrorists? That's four times an hour when we would hear a siren and then have 15 seconds to find shelter before a kassem or bomb would fall on us. Because of this horrible situation 100% of our children in these border towns suffer from Post Traumatic Stress syndrome. It's a disease they will never fully recover from. What would we want our Prime Minister of Canada to do? Protect us? How would he do that? Stop the bombs? It's a tricky situation for him he tells us. After all, if we target Islamic terrorists we are profiling and we wouldn't want to be known as a country that profiles and causes prejudice.
What if these same border people had been bombed nearly everyday for seven years? Would you think they had the right to be angry at our government for doing nothing to stop the bombing, simply because other countries have threatened repercussions and we'd be accused of profiling? What about our right to live in safety? Which of those is more important?
Now, after these seven years, other enemy countries sneaked in bigger bombs and rockets and over 700,000 Canadians are in danger of being annihilated. Especially in Toronto and Montreal. What then?
Well. The answer is simple when we look at the situation like this, isn't it? We expect our country to call up our armed forces and hunt out those terrorists who are bombing and killing us and destroy them so that they never can bomb us again. Seven hundred thousand peoples' lives are being threatened. Surely, we have a right to defend ourselves! After all, we only have 30 million citizens. Losing almost a million of them to terrorists seems harsh, especially if we as a country have the power and wherewithal to stop them. The primary responsibility of a democratic government is to keep it citizens safe from harm and threats. Israel only has seven million citizens, more than a million of which are Arabic.
But here's the kicker in our little scenario. Other countries take glee in blaming Canada for the tension and bombs even though we have done nothing wrong. They say we kicked out the aboriginal people from their homes and murdered them when we created our country, Canada. We Canadians should be abolished and driven into the sea. What would we expect our Canadian government to do? Ignore those countries and follow through on the responsibility to keep us safe?
Of course we would! We're not nuts and neither are we masochistic! Neither is Israel.
I am amazed that the world just expected Israel to take this Hamas crap on the chin all this time, without retaliating. This retaliation should have happened years ago!
I am amazed that the world is still condemning Israel, saying the retaliation is disproportionate. Really? If this were so then there would be no more bombs crossing into Israel. Instead we find that they are increasing and now Tel Aviv and Be'er Sheba are in range.
Hamas wants Israel annihilated, not because of the plight of the Palestinian people, but because Israel is the only non-Muslim, democratic society in the Middle East. It's a craw in the claw of the Muslim regimes. When you look on a world map, all you see is millions of miles of Muslim territory save for about six hundred miles - Israel.
It has been irrefutably proven that Jews have existed in the Israeli land of Judea and Samaria and Jerusalem for thousands of years. Our most sacred temple sits underneath the Muslim Dome of the Rock.
In spite of what historical revisionist Islamic fascists and Left-wingers of the world say, in spite of what frightened European countries may say, Jews have a right to live in their land in peace and they have a right to feel safe. And the Israeli government's first responsibility is to ensure that all of her citizens do feel safe. That's a basic tenet.
If Hamas cannot be convinced of this simple truth then so be it. Israel must destroy it.
And if she fails? May Hashem help us all.
