The
international community that demanded Israel retreat from Gaza, now attacks
Israel for defending its border against Hamas, whose assault on Israel they
qualify as “freedom of expression.”
International
reactions to the recent Hamas-organized Gaza border aggression against Israel
follow the predictable script.
The
purpose of Hamas’s “March of Return” was to erase the border and to flood
Israel with Gaza Arabs. Israel did what it had to do to defend its border and
its citizens. The international community though, turns reality upside down,
portraying Israel as the “villain” and the Islamist attackers as “victims.”
The
attack on Israel’s border also destroyed whatever remained of the cherished
leftist fairytale of “extremists on both sides undermining peace”.
The EU
especially once again found itself on the wrong side of history. EU’s Foreign
Policy chief Federica Mogherini summarized the endemic international hypocrisy
against Israel with the Orwellian words, “Freedom of expression and freedom of
assembly are fundamental rights that must be respected.”
Threatening
Israel’s internationally recognized border and attacking Israeli soldiers with
machine guns and Molotov cocktails hardly qualifies as “freedom of expression.”
The only “freedom of assembly” that Gaza’s terrorist-regime permits is violent
incitement against Israel and Jews. By contrast, the EU and most of the world
ignore the Kurdish people’s freedom of expression and national freedom as well
as countless other oppressed nations worldwide.
Once
again, Mogherini emphasized EU’s long-adopted anti-Israel policy of “do as we
say, not as we do”.
“The EU
mourns the loss of life. Our thoughts are with the families of the victims. The
use of live ammunition should, in particular, be part of an independent and transparent
investigation. While Israel has the right to protect its borders, the use of
force must be proportionate at all times.”
What is
the “proportionate” response to Islamist machine guns, Molotov cocktails and
rocks according to the EU? In the case of the EU itself, the answer is obvious.
Nine terrorists were killed during and after the Islamist terrorist attacks in
Paris in 2015. France also bombed Islamist targets in Syria.
The same
year, Danish police killed an Islamist radical who murdered a Jewish security
guard and another civilian in Copenhagen. In July 2016, German police killed a
17-year old Afghan Muslim who attacked train passengers in Würzburg with an axe
and a knife. During the London Bridge attack in June 2017, British security
forces killed three Islamist terrorists. In March 2018, French police killed an
Islamist extremist that attacked a supermarket in the French town Trèbes. The
list goes on and so does the hypocrisy.
Neither
the UN nor the EU called for an “independent and transparent investigation” in
any of these cases. Only Israel is accused of “disproportionate” force, despite
facing far more serious and frequent threats than any other Western democracy.
The same
international community that demanded that Israel retreat from Gaza, now
hypocritically attacks Israel for defending its border with Gaza against Hamas,
an Islamist enemy openly seeking Israel’s destruction. Israeli civilian lives
in border communities would have been seriously threatened, even if only a
small number of armed terrorists would have managed to penetrate Israel’s
border with Gaza.
Israel
does not only have the right but a duty to defend its citizens like any country
in the world.
The Pope
joined the international linguistic pogrom against Israel by claiming that
“defenseless” Arabs are killed in the Holy Land.
In
reality, at least ten of the 17 killed Gazans were armed Islamist terrorists.
However, in the international “Blame the Jews” game, there is little demand for
verifiable facts.
Hamas
systematically and cynically exploits it to the limit. Gaza’s Islamist rulers
reportedly sent a 7-year-old Arab girl to the border with the hope that Israeli
soldiers would unintentionally kill her and cause international condemnations
of Israel. Thankfully, Israeli soldiers discovered the girl in time and took
her out of harm’s way.
While
extremists exist in all societies, their respective status differs
dramatically. In 1994, the Jewish extremist Baruch Goldstein murdered 29 Muslim
worshippers in Hebron. An overwhelming majority of world Jewry condemned this
heinous terror attack. On January 29 2017, the Christian white supremacist
Alexandre Bissonnette murdered six Muslim worshippers in Quebec. The
overwhelming majority in Canada and the free world condemned this heinous
terror attack.
While
extremists like Goldstein and Bissonnette are despised fringe elements in the
Jewish and Christian worlds, extremists are in power in much of the Islamic
world and looked upon as role models by millions of Muslims. There are no city
squares or streets in Israel named after Baruch Goldstein. By contrast,
“moderate” PLO names city squares and streets after terrorists who murder Jews.
Israeli
children are taught in a spirit of mutual respect and coexistence. By contrast,
Hamas and PLO brainwash their children that Jews are “sons of apes and pigs”
and that Israel must be destroyed.
In
Israel, children dream about becoming pilots, sport stars or entrepreneurs. In
the territories ruled by PLO and Hamas, terrorists who murder Jews are praised
as “heroes” and their families receive cash stipends.
It is
therefore hardly surprising that many brainwashed Muslim children dream about
becoming shahids or “martyrs” who die while murdering Jews.
Thanks for all the useful information, especially for our prayers, sometimes we are not sure how to pray, so we need emails like yours.
