Our World: Israel’s Rude Awakening

It is painful to watch Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Defense Minister Amir Peretz and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni try to contend with the terrible outcome of the Palestinian terror strike against the IDF on Sunday morning. They use so many fancy and angry words. They sound so resolute. And yet, they have nothing useful to say. Two soldiers are dead, a third is now the prisoner of jihadist killers, seven are wounded, an IDF border post has been overrun, and a world view and a security doctrine have been blown to smithereens.

Wow! The Chief is impressed! This gal has a gift for cutting to the chase and calling an ugly spade an ugly spade! But wait! To summarize:

That world view involves a denial of a basic, fundamental truth: When you empower terrorists, terrorists are empowered.

You, with the Chief might say – DUH! Many politicians (to say nothing of judges and journalists), in the US, Eurabia, as well as Israel have yet to grasp this fundamental truth.

This piece goes on with more detail on the current (pre-military action) situation in Gaza. Nothing that’s happened so far changes it’s validity as far as the Chief can tell. Check it out!
