THE NEW BATTLE

By Simon Fischler

Thirty rockets today, another twenty yesterday, how long should Israel wait until she retaliates forcefully against Hamas and the residents of the Gaza?

Is it not a sick joke that terrorists from the Gaza strip have been shooting rockets into Israel on a daily basis?

Is it not sick that the United Nations sits idle and does nothing about the incessant barrage against innocent Israelis?

Doesn’t logic demand that the United Nations hold an inquiry into the Human Rights violations committed by Arabs against Israel and her citizens?

On the other hand when Israel finally decides enough is enough and sends its armed forces into Gaza to maul Hamas and end the mortar and rocket attacks, you can bet that the U.N. won’t hesitate to condemn Israel for defending itself.

You would think by the non-action of the U.N. and European Union that these so-called peace-seeking organizations regard Israelis as silly Jews who should know that the only future they have is in a Mediterranean Auschwitz.

I understand why Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is momentarily restraining the IDF from launching a second and final Operation Cast Lead. (Memo to our dear friends running the new Egyptian military junta; it is not because of you.) Bibi is holding back the IDF so the world will focus on Bashar al Assad, the murderer of Damascus, and more importantly do something more than level useless sanctions against the dictator and his government.

There are some actions-and-reactions that as clear as the sun always rising in the East. One of them -- in this case -- is that Hamas under pressure from Assad.

It is evident that the Hamas murderers have given the green, missile-firing light to their cowardly underlings (Popular Resistance Committee, et. al.) in the Strip.

The hope among Hamas leaders is that we here in Israel will overact and destroy the strip; thereby taking pressure off Bashar in Syrian.

Only in our present, virulently anti-Semitic universe could world leaders, the media and many other Jew-hating folk turn their eyes away from the Syrian leader who daily butchers his citizens in cold blood and point an accusatory finger at Israel for defending its citizens.

A BRIEF FEW WORDS TO THE SYRIAN PEOPLE WHO ARE FIGHTING FOR THEIR RIGHTS AND FREEDOM THE OPPRESSIVE ASSAD REGIME;

Please take note that both the Egyptian government and the Palestinian Authority have harmed your cause.

They have done so by moving the spotlight from your fight against the oppressive Assad to Israel defending itself from endless barrages of rockets and mortars.

MEMO TO OUR ARAB FRIENDS LIVING IN GAZA;

It behooves you to make your leaders aware that you do not want to get clubbed again by Israel just to relieve the pressure from the Alawite Dictator of Syria.

Benjamin Netanyahu must do things differently and I commend him for his current restraint under pressure to pulverize the Hamas regime. One wonders whether the Pharaoh in the White House appreciates the present that Bibi’s restraint has given him?

My question to the Prime Minister is this; Why in did you apologize for the inadvertent killing of Egyptian soldiers last week? Remember, the Military Junta in Egypt did not apologize to Israel for the incursion of twenty heavily armed terrorists from sovereign Egyptian soil that resulted in the death of eight Israeli citizens.
