Thoughts on the Operation

I saw lies. The world is already trying to fault Israel, telling everyone that civilians died here, and Israelis murdered there, But I was there. My feet were on the ground and I saw the truth. I saw that warnings were given, I saw the enemy that fought us. I saw the twelve year olds with missiles and RPGs strapped to their backs. I saw that it was with sadness and great anger Israeli troops saw the need to fire on people who crossed the red line, the danger zone which meant they saw us, and knew where they were. Old people mined with bombs, children armed with detonators, tunnels that opened in the ground to swallow soldiers of ours.

I watched my commanders passing out all of our food to the children who were taken prisoner. I received the commands “closed to fire on the right” if our intelligence had reported civilians in the area. I watched us, more often then not, taking cover when supposed civilian positions fired on us from the right. Yet the world thinks it can bend the truth. We were not allowed to fire on schools. We were told not to loot. We watched in anger as our bombs, so as not to fall on large civilian centers, fell on our own troops, so that we could tell the world we were attempting to scare the enemy while limiting civilian losses. Yet they won’t say that in the press.

I saw cowardice. We listened with concern when Hamas threatened to use snipers and bombs on us, to fight us every step of the way with their fifteen thousand man army, and we watched videos of full brigades parading, waving their weapons and threatening Israel. But as we invaded, they fled. They would attack in small groups, hit us with missiles and sniper fire, and then flee. The ‘warriors’ of Hamas were brave when their rockets fell unanswered on the schools of children and the homes of elderly, but they did not stand when the enemy called them up to answer for their crimes.

I saw miracles. Rockets that blazed past our houses, bullets that scarred the outside of windows we were watching from. A unit near ours that was walking in had RPGs pass straight between their ranks without hitting a single soldier. Mines that didn’t explode, mortar rounds that landed next to friends that didn’t explode. RPGs that blazed into the earthen barrier directly in front of our APC, detonating before penetration. The night walk through a neighborhood that wasn’t on the map, that was full of snipers and mines, according to reports, that we walked through unawares, by accident, without harm or incident. And that was just a taste of what we knew.

This video represents typical muslim fare. This is who they are.And the disgraceful coward now defiling the former White House wants to play nicey nice with these folks.  May you pay for your treachery Obama. May you pay.

I am so bloody tired of the appeasers. So tired of those who embrace evil, calling it compassion, who extend understanding towards terrorists and revile their own traditions and culture. That would, unfortunately, describe half of America – the half that voted Obama. I’d bet good money that the majority of those whining about the poor “palestinians” come from that faction of ignorant saps.

Palestine is a myth. Pure and simple. Hamas is a proxy for Iran and Iran is an islamic bully who has unequivocally declared that their avowed goal is the destruction of the West, particularly Israel and America.

Islamic cleric Salah Sultan appeared on Egypt’s Al-Nas TV last week and delivered a warning of death and destruction for America. Not only did he attack the U.S. for its military support of Israel in its fight against the Hamas terrorist organization, but he vowed retaliation such that more Americans would be killed than those Palestinians (and, presumably, Hamas terrorists) killed in the present conflict in Gaza, emphasizing that this would take place “soon”:

America, which gave [Israel] everything it needed in these battles, will suffer economic stagnation, ruin, destruction, and crime, which will surpass what is happening in Gaza. One of these days, the U.S. will suffer more deaths than all those killed in this third Gaza holocaust. This will happen soon.

He also invoked a notorious Islamic hadith on the inevitable annihilation of the Jews by Muslims:

The stone, which is thrown at the Jews, hates these Jews, these Zionists, because Allah foretold, via His Prophet Muhammad, that Judgment Day will not come before the Jew and the Muslim fight. The Jew will hide behind stones and trees, and the stone and the tree will speak, saying: “Oh Muslim, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.” The only exception will be the Gharqad tree.

Rummaging through my archives I ran across an old draft from 2002 that included the two excerpts reproduced below. I remember once being appalled by such pronouncements – now I understand that nothing sane ever comes out of the mouth of a muslim.

…In the words of their leading theorist, Ismail Al-Faruqi, “Nothing could be greater than this youthful, vigorous and rich continent [of North America] turning away from its past evil and marching forward under the banner of Allahu Akbar [God is great].” Or, in the words of a teacher at the Al-Ghazly Islamic School in Jersey City, N.J.,

“Our short-term goal is to introduce Islam. In the long term, we must save American society. Allah will ask why I did not speak about Islam, because this piece of land is Allah’s property.”

a Daniel pipes piece 1999

This muslim slave of “allah” savors imagining what a Seder massacre must have felt like for the bomber, practically salivating at the prospect of spilling Jewish blood.

“You entered silently, with the faith and confidence with which Allah inspired you. Despite all the obstacles, fortifications, and security measures, you reached [the appointed place], sat down at one of the tables, talked, told a few jokes, and laughed with them, and then Allah decreed for you a martyr’s death. What heroism, courage, and strength – almost unmatched on the face of the earth!”

– Dr. Khalil Ibrahim Al-Sa’adat, a columnist, writing the Saudi government-controlled daily Al Jazirah. The quotation applauded the actions of the Palestinian suicide bomber who detonated himself at a Passover Seder in a Netanya hotel. April 1, 2002

That is the voice of Islam. Arrogant barbarity. It hasn’t changed in a thousand years, and it certainly hasn’t changed since 2002. Islamic jihad is what is operative in Palestine right now. Not deranged Jews licking their chops over Palestinian dead, but the legitimate nation of Israel defending itself against the mental and spiritual pygmies of the middle east. Pygmies, such as those depicted in this video, chanting that Jews should be returned to the ovens, yet, no doubt, these are the  same cretins who bellow about hate speech when confronted with the truth about their deplorable “religion”.

In 2002 I was still confident that America had at least a decade before Islam could approach the level of toxicity here that it has achieved in Great Britain. Back then I thought that, surely, Americans would wake up. After all, videos like the one below are a dime a dozen. It’s pop culture for jihadists, to savor the death of the West, to hunger for the annihilation of our freedom and prosperity. But seven years later, Americans remain woefully ignorant. Or completely indifferent.

And as to be expected, Western media, CNN particularly, are invested not in truth, but in supporting the pigs of palestine, as LGF records here, here, here,here and here. The LA Slimes puts one of these execrable cretins on the payroll. Think the term “pigs of “palestine” is too strong? Too bad, I am done with niceties, attempts at civility. Civility should not be extended to barbarians nor the fools who support them. Given muslim behavior – staging their precious “innocent children” as props in their savagery, stealing incoming humanitarian aid and re-selling it – they deserve nothing but the missiles Israel serve them.

“First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people…” has long been the clarion call of Islamists. The latest slaughter in India has captured the world’s attention, but what that same world fails to recognize is that Mumbai is but one more battle in an ongoing jihad, a jihad that has perpetrated over 12,000 separate attacks since that September day when it first visited our shores. It is further proof that Islamists tend to make good on their murdering words. Words that the mainstream media will not take seriously, words that Americans, by and large, are totally ignorant of.

Among the dead in India are some Saturday people, or to use the islamic vernacular, some “descendants of pigs and apes”, reported in the article directly below. But successful propaganda from the left ( many of whom are Obama supporters), from muslim apologists and their dhimmi acolytes have convinced an increasing number of people that the Jews somehow have it coming to them. So attacks specifically targeting Jews are not all that appalling.

Following that article is an amazing report that apparently is of far less interest to the media.  While hostages were taken in India, in Egypt, over 800 Coptic Christians were being held hostage by a horde muslims numbering in the thousands. But then, Coptic Christians and Christians world wide have been being slaughtered by Islamists for decades, and the world shrugs.After all, it’s only Christians, and they somehow have it coming as well.

Perhaps that explains why I can find little mention of this attack in Google news, and no accounts of how it ended. Christians are negligible, Jews are expendable. But Muslims, Muslims are to be forgiven. In fact, you can’t say the words “terror” and “muslim” in the same breath for fear of being accused of racism.

We have a man soon to assume the office of the presidency who has expressed more sympathy than wrath towards the perpetrators of Jihad. He will handle the jihadists in Gitmo like mistreated puppy dogs and lavish American justice upon them. The same jihadists who will, as has been demonstrated in prior prisoner releases, go and participate in another attack somewhere in the world should they be released.

Every enemy of America has celebrated Obama’s  election win. But Americans were not told by the Obama media about his myriad ties to Islamists and their advocates. Nor will Obama’s millions in foreign contributions be investigated, much of which has been traced back to jihadists.

It seemed like it was impossible to endure Bush’s refusal to the name the enemy, or so I thought. But now we have in Obama  a man of questionable loyalties, a novice and hustler who has promised to dismantle America’s defenses and have tea with that same enemy. We can only pray that Libyan thug Mu’ammar Al-Qaddafi was wrong in his speculations that Obama’s distancing from islam during his campaign was just a simple political tactic.

“But we were taken by surprise when our African Kenyan brother [Obama], who is an American national, made statements that shocked all his supporters in the Arab world, in Africa, and in the Islamic world.

“We hope that this is merely an elections ‘clearance sale,’ as they say in Egypt – in other words, merely an elections lie.

“Allah willing, it will turn out that this was merely elections propaganda.

Attack the Saturday People

Nine Israelis killed in Mumbai attacks

JERUSALEM (AFP) — Nine Israelis were killed in the attacks by Islamist militants that caused carnage in the Indian commercial capital Mumbai, a foreign ministry spokesman said on Saturday.

“Eight bodies have been identified as being those of Israelis, some of them with dual Israeli and US nationality,” the spokesman said.

“All eight were killed in Chabad House,” said Yigal Palmor, referring to a Jewish cultural centre that was stormed by Indian commandos on Friday.

[...]There were at least three women among the dead, including the rabbi’s wife, Rivka.

The Holtzbergs’ toddler son Moshe was rescued by the centre’s cook, Sandra Samuel, who also worked as his nanny and who escaped with him and a caretaker 12 hours into the siege.

Defence Minister Ehud Barak said some of the bodies had been tied up, and that two of the dead women had been killed many hours before.

Attack the Sunday people...

Thousands of Muslims Storming Church in Egypt

Thousands of Muslims who stormed a church in Ain Shams, Cairo, on Sunday and set fire to the building, are seen in two videos on a news agency website.

A crowd of Muslims, estimated at 20,000 strong, were enraged by an extension that was added to the church of St. Mary and Anba Abraam, according to Assyrian International News Agency. (www.aina.org)

Assyrian International News Agency said at least one thousand Christians were trapped inside the Coptic Orthodox Church of the Virgin Mary in West Ain Shams, Cairo, after more than twenty thousand Muslims attacked them with stones and butane gas cylinders. The Church’s priest Father Antonious said the situation was extremely dangerous.

The news agency says the Muslim mob that attacked the church blocked both sides of the street and encircled the church building, broke its doors and demolished its entire first floor.

The crowd were heard shouting ‘Allahu Akbar!’ (God is greatest).
In its report, AINA says the mob were chanting Jihad verses as well as slogans saying “we will demolish the church” and “We sacrifice our blood and souls, we sacrifice ourselves for you, Islam,” while the entrapped Christians chanted “Lord have mercy.”

According to AINA, the incident started on the occasion of the inauguration of the Church today, when the Muslims hastily established a Mosque in the early hours of this morning, by taking over the first floor of a newly-built building facing the Church and started praying there.

The AINA report says: “When the security forces tried to
disperse the mob, they went to nearby homes and shops owned by Christians, and were armed with sticks, butane, knives and other sharp objects. Witnesses said the mob included children from as young as 8-years old to men of over 50-years old, in addition to women.”

AINA said the Church building was originally a factory that was adapted into its present state. It took over five years to complete and to get the necessary permissions from the authorities to have a Church established.

Human rights organizations and lawyers were refused entry into the besieged Church, according to the AINA report.

Mumbai Terrorists Arrived by Sea

More than 100 people were killed when gunmen slipped into Mumbai — India’s financial capitol — by boat last night before fanning out and hitting a number of targets including a backpacker bar and two five-star hotels popular with Western visitors and the Bombay elite. Six foreigners were killed and the Foreign Office confirmed this afternoon that one of them was British. Loud blasts rocked southern Bombay this afternoon as commandos moved to rescue the final hostages in the five-star Oberoi-Trident hotel and a nearby Jewish centre. Blasts were also heard at the Taj Mahal Palace hotel, even though the city’s police chief had earlier announced that all terrorists had been cleared from the burning building. The terrorists were said to have arrived in two small boats near the Gateway of India, a landmark monument built in 1911 to mark a visit by George V and Queen Mary. They split up to attack various targets including hospitals and a railway station where they fired indiscriminately at passengers. They were armed with AK47 assault rifles, hand grenades and explosives. The attacks were claimed by a previously unknown group, the Deccan Mujahedeen, which demanded the release of all Mujahideen, or Islamic holy warriors, in Indian jails. The coordinated attacks bore the hallmarks of al-Qaeda, but there was no sign of any formal link with the terror network. One militant inside the Oberoi/Trident, identifying himself only as Sahadullah, told an Indian television station by telephone: “Release all the mujahideens, and Muslims living in India should not be troubled.” (Source)

Always on Watch has over an hour of conversation with Robert Spencer. If you have only heard Spencer via 5 minutes on Fox, I strongly recommend that you hear him uninterrupted by commercials, or Bill O’Reilly. Rich with facts and exegesis, painful to listen to, compounded as it is with the knowledge that America is now in the hands of those who agree more with Islamists than they do with Americans.

For those who may not know, Robert Spencer’s work can be found on his blog Jihad Watch.

Always on Watch (blogging at The Gathering Storm)  is always able to secure  excellent guests. It amazes me sometimes what “folks” can do. I just heard someone refer to it as “MainSt. Media”.  Sounds good. Since the anarchists, rebels and dirty old hippies have managed to go turn themselves into the “Establishment”, maybe they can remove their sorry asses from the streets. The streets belong to our side now.

The damnable thing is, the hippies and leftists of the sixties  ranted against an imaginary oppression. They now come swaggering through the doors of power bearing with them the very oppression which they had  proclaimed America was guilty of exercising. Obviously, given their ascent to power, their infiltration of education, their dominance in culture, that they were not then, nor since,  oppressed.

That have become that ogre of fascism that they have always feared.
Obama and his possee have already demonstrated their willingness to suppress speech. If you want to do anything, fight for the right of “MainSt.” broadcasters like “Always on Watch” to retain the right to broadcast. Support their efforts and the hundreds of other worthy media outlets that are aligning themselves for the fight ahead.

Speaking of censorship, another worthy recipient of our support is ‘No Compromise’ – just recently  “permitted” to resume  broadcasting again. You’ll find them talking about it here, and their site here.

October 31, 2008 – 00:02:10 : Egyptian Lawyer Nagla Al-Imam Suggests Arab Men Should Sexually Harass Israeli Women and Declares: Leave the Land So We Won’t Rape You.

“Leave The Land So We Won’t Rape You” : Female Egyptian Lawyer

It was difficult enough to speak the truth about Islam in a PC addled Bush administration. The advent of an Obama administration will likely lead us down the dark path Europe now slogs on. Just north, in Canada, the Islamists are tightening their grip around the throat of free speech and CAIR, the Muslim Brotherhood and like groups in America will have a green light should the Marxist Obama ascend his throne.

Because there is really little difference between islam – a complete theocratic system that swallows freedom, personal choices, politics, family relationships whole – and the’isms of the left. Except they put a “god” on the throne. A god quite unlike the Christian god who will at least allow an individual to choose a path to hell if it so behooves him. It’s called free will, a concept that islamists deem to be a blasphemy.

This page offers more excerpts of the complete DVD that may be purchased. The darkness Obama brings over this country will usher in yet a deeper shade of hell and it’s name is Islam. Be prepared.

The Third Jihad

What is The Third Jihad?

The Third Jihad exposes the war the media is not telling you about.

It reveals the enemy our government is too afraid to name.

One person who is not afraid to tell you the truth is Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, a Muslim American and former physician to the US Congress.

After the FBI releases a radical Islamist manifesto describing how to destroy America from within, Dr. Jasser decides to investigate.

The Third Jihad is about what he discovered.

Interviews are conducted with radical Islamists in the US and the leaders trying to stop them, such as Rudy Giuliani, Clinton CIA Director Jim Woolsey, NYC Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, Senator Joe Lieberman, former Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge, and former terrorist group member Tawfik Hamid.
