What in Hell would make you think that?

 

IDF soldiers return to northern border

 

There seems to be a serious effort afoot in both Europe and North America to stop the sale of weapons to Israel.

Who is going to stop disrupters, haters and extremists in Iran, Somalia, India, North Korea and China from selling weapons to Hamas thugs, Hezbollah and other Palestinian terrorists?

Has everyone forgotten that Palestine was a British creation, an attempt to maintain some control in the Middle East and ensure access to the Suez Canal? That Britain was forced by Jewish militants to relinquish control of the area to those it had been taken from centuries before?

That area never was Palestinian. It was British for a time – a very short time in relation to the history of the area – and those directing the British government at the time put some local tribes they thought they could control in charge. However, several years of insurgence, terrorism and strife from the people who had inhabited the area 2000 years earlier, the Jews, convinced them that the cost of maintaining the area under British control and maintaining easy access to their traditional trade routes for spices, drugs and silk was just too expensive. It didn’t help that those they thought were their puppets, the so-called Palestinians they had put in charge, where every bit as troublesome as the Israelis.

It also developed that the original settlers, the Jews, could look after the area better than the British did anyway.

The State of Israel has proven over and over again that they can manage the area at least as well as any other government can in their area of control and in many cases much better than those other nations. They have also offered the interlopers, the tribes placed there by the British that call themselves Palestinian, an opportunity to participate in that governance.

What became of those attempts to communicate and recognize the needs of other parties?

The USA released Iranian monies which had been frozen and unavailable to Iran due to their terrorist activities. Iran uses that money to fund terrorists and thugs sighting the need to “support Islam”, actions for which, if the writings are to be believed, Mohamed would condemn the whole lot. Having been defeated a half dozen times, the “Palestinians”, or more accurately, Gaza Insurgents, attack Israel on a Holy Day, killing and kidnapping primarily non-combatants.

Japan was condemned for a similar sneak attack December 7th, 1941. Is it suddenly alright because Vladimir Putin did it to the Ukraine and then some ungrateful immigrants did it to Israel?

Refusing Israel access to weapons is the way to make the area safe? What in hell would make you think that?

Some things happening in the world can be upsetting. However, entertainment can go a long way to releasing the stress caused by events in the world. Some of that entertainment is available in audio at
