Victory celebration

[Hei Guizi 21]

I'm not sure why some of you were whining about the Palestinians getting all beat up.

Today they are celebrating their victory. Passing out candy to children and having a good time.

Libs are just sad. That's really all that can be said about them.

And now for some real news:

4 rockets were fired into Israel 4 hours before the ceasefire is to expire. Shocking, I know.

I don't accuse intellectuals of bias or of anti-Semitism but too many of them are certainly guilty of intellectual laziness.

Too many American and European intellectuals have taken moral relativism to its absurd extreme, falling back upon the 'validity of every narrative' and repeating the mantra that 'every story has two sides.' They treat those who have a clear moral stance as primitive. For them, if you take a moral stand or choose a side in a conflict you must lack the necessary tolerance to "see the other side."

It seems a distant memory but not long ago intellectuals did the exact opposite. They were the ones who helped us differentiate between good and evil, between right and wrong, between justice and injustice. They didn't delve into the childhood of Senator McCarthy or ask whether the Germans felt a genuine sense of hardship. The debate wasn't over feelings but the essence of truth.

The betrayal of the intellectuals was especially noticeable during the days of the operation in Gaza. Ostensibly, there should be no question as to who enlightened people should support; on one side of the conflict stands a western democracy, governed by the rule of law, which warns civilians before striking legitimate terrorist targets. On the other side stands an Islamist terrorist organization, homophobic and misogynistic, committed to killing Jews, which does all in its power to murder innocent civilians and hides behind its own women and children when carrying out its vicious attacks.

But those intellectuals see it differently. For them, the Palestinians are suffering more and so they must be right. Why? Because they have turned suffering into the only measure of justice.

The suffering in Gaza is truly heartbreaking, but the causes are not clear cut. When Hamas forces civilians to stand on the roof of a building which is used as a terrorist command center despite knowing that the building will be attacked (and they know because we warn them), who are we to hold responsible? When Hamas places rockets and explosives inside UN schools and fires from within hospitals, who are we to hold responsible? When Hamas fires thousands of rockets and mortars at the cities of Israel and fails to kill hundreds of our children only because of our technological edge and the Iron Dome missile defense system should we blame ourselves for suffering less?

Those intellectuals betrayed themselves because they refuse to answer these questions or even to truly appreciate the complex global reality in which we all now live. Instead they stare at the photographs of the injured children in Gaza and compete as to who is the most outraged.

Hamas, of course, is acutely aware of the weakness of many western intellectuals and treats them as a tool in its propaganda war. There is significant intelligence information -- not only in the hands of Israeli intelligence -- which shows that Hamas believes, theologically, that there is no barrier to sacrificing the lives of the children of Gaza to garner sympathy in the western media. Those who are aware of the intelligence also know how the Hamas sees western intellectuals who buy into their gruesome propaganda -- they are a tool, to be used and to be mocked.

Yep. The Hamass started again.

So what? It's not as if this is a modern coordinated army that is doing this.

[OriZ 3,157]

So what? I'll tell ya what, how about this...when you're sitting in your home during a supposed ceasefire and 4 rockets are being shot towards you and you have to run to a shelter plus trust an iron dome system all at the same time to avoid getting hurt then you can ask so what. But hey, thanks for reminding us yet again why there can't be land for peace right now cause well, after all, a "non modern coordinated army" cannot be trusted. Hell they can't even hold cease fires. So you can't have it both ways. You can't give everyone rockets and then use it as an excuse "I didn't do it - it was the other dude".. This is why their military infrastructure has to be dismantled.

You don't need to sell it to me. I am under no illusions that having rockets shot towards your house is a less than ideal situation.

But then I imagine having your residential neighbourhood shelled by tanks and having your house destroyed for the fourth time probably isn't a picnic either.
