Wonder How They Feel About the Issue Now After Waiting in Line for That $7.00 a Gallon Gas

Why Won’t Israelis Let Themselves Be Killed?

The global woke loathing for Israel is taking an even darker turn.  Two weeks ago Turkish forces launched a military assault in the Duhok region of Iraqi Kurdistan.  Villagers were forced to ‘flee in terror’ from raining bombs.  It was only the latest bombardment of the beleaguered Kurds by Turkey, NATO member and Western ally.  It did not trend online. 

There were no noisy protests in London or New York. The Turks weren’t talked about in woke circles as crazed, bloodthirsty killers. Tweeters didn’t dream out loud about Turks burning in hell. The Onion didn’t do any close-to-the-bone satire about how Turkish soldiers just love killing children. No, the Duhok attack passed pretty much without comment.

But when Israel engages in military action, that’s a different story. Always. Every time. Anti-Israel fury in the West has intensified to an extraordinary degree following an escalation of violence in the Middle East in recent days. Protests were instant and inflammatory. Israeli flags were burned on the streets of London. Social media was awash with condemnation.  ‘IDF Soldier Recounts Harrowing, Heroic War Story Of Killing 8-Month-Old Child’, tweeted The Onion, to tens of thousands of likes. Israel must be boycotted, isolated, cast out of the international community, leftists cried.  ‘What’s the difference?’, said a placard at a march in Washington, DC showing the Israeli flag next to the Nazi flag. The Jews are the Nazis now, you see. Ironic, isn’t it?

This is the question anti-Israel campaigners have never been able to answer: why do they treat Israel so differently to every other nation on Earth?   Why is it child-killing bloodlust when Israel takes military action but not when Turkey or India do? Why must we rush to the streets to set light to the Israel flag but never the Saudi flag, despite Saudi Arabia’s unconscionable war on Yemen?  Why is it only ‘wrong’ or at worst ‘horrific’ when Britain or America drop bombs in the Middle East but Nazism when Israel fires missiles into Gaza? Why do you merely oppose the military action of some states but you hate Israel, viscerally, publicly, loudly?

The judgement and treatment of Israel by a double standard is one of the most disturbing facets of global politics in the 21st century. That double standard has been glaringly evident over the past few days. Israel is the only country on Earth that is expected to allow itself to be attacked. To sit back and do nothing as its citizens are pelted with rocks or rockets. How else do we explain so many people’s unwillingness to place the current events in any kind of context, including the context of an avowedly anti-Semitic Islamist movement – Hamas – firing hundreds of missiles into civilian areas in Israel? In this context, to rage solely against Israel, to curse its people and burn its flag because it has sent missiles to destroy Hamas’s firing positions in Gaza, is essentially to say: ‘Why won’t Israelis let themselves be killed?’

It Takes a Real Man to Stand Up for What They Believe 🧐

'You are a slow learner, Winston.'

'How can I help seeing what is in front of my eyes? Two and two are four.'

'Sometimes, Winston. Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three. Sometimes they are all of them at once. You must try harder. It is not easy to become sane.'

------------------------------------------------

How dare you decline to hallucinate and not “even genuinely” see what he tells you to see at any given time, you superficial bigot.

Our neotenous offendee, ¿jordan¿, is now, inevitably, feigning surprise that his - sorry, their - “simple statement” was found in any way debatable.  Now step aside, oppressor, there are selfies to be taken.

The damsel in question, aka “Commie DickGurl.” My favorite part is where they got offended for being called crazy and then acted completely crazy.

Imagine being a 34-year-old man who tries to look like a 15-year-old girl and then gets offended when he's called crazy.  And they wonder why they eventually take baths with their toasters.
