ISRAEL IS — NOT “AGAIN,” BUT “STILL” — BEING ATTACKED BY MISSILES FROM GAZA.
- The U.S. and leftists around the world blame Israel for the attacks.
The first shots were fired from Gaza. Missiles fall indiscriminately on children, old people, and people in their homes.
Israel retaliates by leveling Hamas sites; Hamas just changes venues and continues the attack.
Israel could, and in my opinion should, end the attacks by giving back to Gaza what Gaza sends to Israel.
TIT FOR TAT
I believe the only way to stop the indiscriminate attacks on Israel is for Israel to fire rockets indiscriminately back into Gaza.
During World War 2, all the warring parties bombed civilian targets. Dresden, London, and Nagasaki quickly come to mind. (The Japanese sent fire balloons over the U.S. west coast causing minor physical damage; psychological damage was something else.)
While there are those who live well in Gaza, shopping in super-malls for ISRAELI-MADE goods (!), most Gazans are reportedly poor and lack what most Americans and Europeans consider “basic necessities.”
- I have not been to Gaza and rely only on reports — some pro, some con.
Hamas allegedly rules Gaza with an iron hand and is pressured by other anti-Israel Islamic groups, e.g., Islamic Jihad and Islamic Brotherhood, to maintain control over the strip.
For all the claimed oppression of the people, they have not been pushed far enough to revolt.
So far, all Israeli attacks on Gaza have been precisely targeted and limited to Hamas sites and leaders.
Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland
After WW2, Russia, then the now former USSR, took control of many Eastern European countries, including Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland. The Russians installed Communist dictators to rule the countries.
The USSR ruled with a heavy hand, much as Hamas etc. does today in Gaza.
Eventually, these and other Warsaw Pact countries forced the Russians out, often by successful partisan attacks. (The Russians would call these people “terrorists.” Perspective.)
Russia’s presence was almost over whelming, but the people prevailed.
Granted, there was a cost. Some partisans were injured; some died.
But the Russians were sent packing and the people had control of their countries.
The “bottom line” for the Czechs, the Hungarians, and the Poles was that they had to get rid of the Russians no matter what the cost.
They did.
It can be done. It was done.
Gazans can do the same.
Currently Gazans apparently are willing to put up with Hamas et al’s heavy-handedness, lack of electricity, lack of potable water, lack of employment.
If Israel were to do as Hamas does, and indiscriminately fire missiles into Gaza, one missile into Gaza for every missile fired from Gaza, the Gaza “man in the street” might decide it was time to rid the strip of the despots.
When the children, the seniors, and the average Gazan find themselves under attack by Israeli missiles in retaliation for missiles fired from Gaza, perhaps the people will cast out Hamas et al.
Only Gazans can end Hamas terror
The “bottom line” is that the Gazans must want peace with Israel, a permanent cease fire at a minimum.
The only way this can be accomplished is if the Gazan “man in the street” casts off Hamas’ yoke and forms a government that cares about ALL the people of Gaza, not just Islamic leadership.
It is unfortunate, but the impetus may have to come from Israeli missiles falling indiscriminately on all Gazans.
Israelis and Gazans deserve to live in peace, without fear of missiles falling on them.
