Israel got Bibi Netanyahu. We got…
Considering recent events, gentle readers, just a few random thoughts about Israel:
*If Arab–and Iranian–terrorists laid down their arms, peace. If Israel did, genocide.
*If the kleptocrats of the United Nations didn’t have Israel to accuse of every crime they commit, they’d have nothing at all to say.

*Thank God for Nikki Haley.
*The Jews are God’s chosen people. Can’t the idiots attacking them read?
*Nowhere is fake, malicious news (take the link; you’ll see) more in evidence than in the international media’s coverage of Israel and the terrorists besieging the nation.
*The Palestinians continue to never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
*There will be peace with Israel one of two ways: when Israel’s enemies force Israel to utterly destroy them, or when they love their children more than they hate Jews.
*Thank G*d for Benjamin Netanyahu.
*Thank God for Donald Trump, a very human, flawed man who nevertheless keeps America’s promises and supports her allies.
*Thank God Democrats are no longer in charge of America’s foreign policy.
*Being surrounded by homicidal lunatics that live to murder you tends to make you a focused warrior.

Well, one thing is for sure… this entire post, if it represents the true mainstream feeling of the government and people of Israel, then most assuredly there will be no Israeli/Palestinian peace plan for another 70 years. If this is just a meandering attitude of someone who does not even live in the region.. then maybe there’s some hope.
Dear Doug:
Hi there. I’ve been studying the situation for about 50 years now, and the reality is quite clear. The Palestinians, in their charter, hold the murder of every Jew and the destruction of Israel as their reason for being. They teach their children, from birth, to hate the Jews and to consider murdering them and dying in the attempt to be the highest honor. Kindergarten graduation ceremonies feature skits depicting Jew killing.
As Frank Fleming so trenchantly observed, the Jews aren’t willing to compromise and let terrorists half murder them. Israel has offered them virtually everything they’ve demanded, but they have, time and again, refused. Even many of Israel’s Arab neighbors–Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, etc.–have come to understand they’re not going to be able to kill every Jew, and in Iran, they’ve found an enemy worse than any fevered anti-Jew dream, and have allied with Israel.
Despite all this, the Palestinians continue to destroy their own people in their lunatic rage at the Jews, who provide them water, food, electric power, fuel and building materials, and treat the very people seeking to murder Israelis in Israeli hospitals.
There’s hope indeed, when the Palestinians love their children more than they hate the Jews.
I think the photo of Obama smoking pot at or about the time that Bibi was in the IDF would be a better contrast.

IIRC, Chicks On the Right did exactly that on their site several years ago, with a caption saying, “We totally drew the short straw.”
Dear James W Crawford:
Yeah, that one’s a classic.
I remember a Gedankenexperiment that goes like this:
You and your family are on vacation in Italy, you’re at the airport in Rome, about to fly out when … a nuclear war breaks out, missiles are in the air, the entire United States and all of Europe are 5 minutes from being wiped out and made uninhabitable for the next couple of centuries. On the tarmac are two (and only two) planes with their engines running and enough seats for your family. They’re taking off in seconds, but the doors of each are open. You can choose the plane flying to Israel, or the plane flying to (take your pick:) Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Turkey, or Egypt. Once the plane lands you’ll be stuck in that country for the rest of your lives. Which plane do you run to with your family?
Run this question as a survey against whatever group you choose: Your coworkers, the graduating class at your local University, all the people shopping in the nearest upscale mall. Post the results here.

Dear Doug:
Thanks!
Hey.. off topic.. but given recent reports on the school shooting events.. but you being the gun man.. I wanted to pass this to you…
Apparently the initial timeline is suggesting the shooting was actually in “rampage”mode for 4 minutes, followed by a 25 minute shootout with the police. I do not overly understand how the kid could hold off police for 25 minutes with only a .38 and a shotgun. I would presume that .38 is a revolver with six shots.. and any shotgun requires a slow reload. If the police had a standard issue 9mm auto with a couple magazine reloads as backup… that rather places them at a strategic advantage over the shooter. Why did it take so long… in fact, the kid surrendered.. the cops never did “take him down” in the traditional sense. Just curious.
Dear Doug:
I’ll have an article up on this case later this week after more of the details are known. We have to keep in mind reality is not like the movies. Officers can’t just shoot up the place. They have to be aware of innocents, and avoid, if at all possible, accidentally shooting them. I’ve no idea of the tactical situation, but it’s possible the kid was just popping out of the doorway of a classroom long enough to take a wild shot and ducking back under cover. If it indeed took 25 minutes, they were certainly not blazing away at each other in plain sight all that time. It’s also likely the officers weren’t returning much fire, and were trying to talk him out. Apparently two officers were injured, so that may have slowed things down as well.
People are so used to being told this or that weapon is virtually invincible (AR-15s for instance). The reality is, in close quarters, the advantage isn’t necessarily with the type of weapon, but with how it’s employed.
If and when we learn how things happened, I suspect it will be relatively close to what I’ve described, but we’ll see.
You are absolutely correct. I think what I was alluding to more than cops having a complete shootout mayhem with the shooter was the idea that even if they were not sure at that moment what weapons the shooter had, I would have thought there might have been some attempt to rush his position when shooting paused given his weapons would require more frequent re-loading thus creating some level of predicatable pauses. I’m not second guessing the cops in the least… just trying to speculate the scenario to try and understand such a long period of time.
