“if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?”
By Ted Belman
The Cabinet met last night after learning of the deaths of Fraenkel, Shaar, and Yifrach.
According to a TOI report:
Unconfirmed reports from the cabinet meeting suggested that demands by more hawkish ministers for a “game-changing” response to the killings were likely to be rejected. Netanyahu met both before and after the session with Economy Minister Naftali Bennett, head of the Orthodox-nationalist Jewish Home party, who was said to be demanding harsher measures than those favored by Netanyahu and some more moderate ministers.
Ministers were said to have contemplated a range of options, including an escalated campaign against Hamas, new building projects at settlements, and issuing a demand that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas sever his unity government partnership with Hamas.
Abbas was quoted saying that if Israel responded by expanding settlements, he would appeal to the United Nations.
It is obvious Bibi doesn’t have the balls for the job. He refuses to build. He refuses to destroy Hamas. He refuses to embrace the Levy Report. He is always playing it safe. He moors the ship of state in the harbour and won’t venture into choppy waters.
Israel should build more housing, not because we want to punish anyone but because we have the right to build.
JPOST reports:
The Israeli Air-force pounded the Gaza strip overnight on Tuesday with 34 targets hit by jets after five rockets fired from Gaza hit southern Israeli communities on Monday night and Tuesday morning.
The airstrike targeted Hamas and Islamic Jihad assets in the Gaza Strip.
Why are we hitting “assets” and not the leadership?
It is time for PM Netanyahu to issue a Declaration of Independence. So what if the world complains or even levies sanctions. The world must be put on notice that we are an independent nation with our own national interests and we have rights.
The US needs Israel more than ever now. Israel is the key to protecting Jordan and thwarting ISIS.
Carpe Diem!!!

The Arabs are Laughing at us!
Back in the thirties, even before there was a Jewish State, Arabs attacked and murdered Jews in Israel. Under the British occupation they would see that no attempt was made to stop them and they shouted in glee, “the government is with us!” Who would have dreamed that the day would come when the Arabs would see a Jewish leadership in Israel that was so afraid of foreign opinion that it refused to recognize the war? The Arabs have every right to shout with glee today, “the government is with us!”
There was a time when our Arab population was afraid of us. Those days are long gone. Rather than put down our enemies we have elevated them. Not only have we made them “citizens”, but they sit in our Knesset and work to destroy us from within. Not only have we given them parts of our country as autonomous regions where Jews are warned not to enter for risk of being murdered, but we have given them arms and accepted the reality of several armed Arab organizations on Jewish soil. Lunacy is a kind word to describe our behavior.
We have grown accustomed to labeling the murder of Jews as “acts of terror”, perpetrated by bad Arabs who must be found and punished. We treat acts of war as if they were individual crimes rather than a national policy of our enemies. Yes, we may catch the individual. But we fail to address the problem and thus guarantee its continuation.
Bibi blames Hamas and is trying to get Abu Mazen to separate from them so he can continue to negotiate with the PLO. Peres tells us that Abu Mazen is the best partner we ever had. Yet this gentle soul was the mastermind of the Munich Massacre which saw Israeli Athletes gunned down in cold blood at the Olympic games. How can any normal human being believe that this man is anything less than an enemy of the Jewish People and the Jewish State?
Hamas is shooting rockets at us from Gaza and we are playing tit for tat with them with targeted air strikes. The rockets are still coming and Hamas dares to threaten us should we try to take Gaza back.
There is a war going on and our enemies believe that they can win it. We have given them little reason to believe otherwise. This is the real reason for “terror.”
There is a solution, but I fear that my government lacks the courage to implement it.
First and foremost all Arabs must be disarmed. Secondly they should all be stripped of citizenship. In addition they must sign a statement renouncing all connection to the concept of Palestine. Those who object will be immediately deported to Gaza,which should be completely under Israeli control, until we can find a better place. Any Arab who picks up a rock to throw at a Jew must be shot on sight.
Until and unless we instill genuine fear in our enemies we will see more murders of our children. If we refuse to take our country back, our enemies will be more than happy to take the rest of it from us.
The jews are playing a game, they are not engaging reality.
Hamas alone is not the problem, the problem is the entire collective of arabs, their creed, their culture, which poses a danger to Jews. How will hitting hamas make YS safe for Jews to hitchike on Jewish roads without fear. That is the real problem. It does not matter what these wackos call themselves but rather what danger they pose to Jews. fatah is as dangerous. The whole population is rsponsible as they as aa collective gloat and hold up 3 fingers.
What will make YS safe for Jews? The removal of arabs. Instaead of figuring out how to retreat to a smaller area behind a wall with arabs still inside, the Jews need to think of this as an ongoing war process rather than an ongoing peace process. I would start with the immedeate trasfer of known undesirable families, clans and villages. E.G. the kwasemeh clan has apparently been involved as a family for decades in killing Jews. everything they own should be confiscated and the clan deported.
I beleive it is becasue the gov wants hamas to remain as a foil to any “peace” deals. How can they hit the leadership when they just treated the leaders mother in law and grandchild in Israeli hospitals. this is an obvious ludicrous cartoon. these bombings are just an ongoing show of tit for tat. the “GAME”.
I don’t know why you all have bought into this idea that Jordan, the US and Saudi are threatened by ISIS merely because they said so? ISIS is doing everything that the US/EU/Saudi(GCC)/ Turkey/Jordan want. They are in exactly the locations where they want sunni domination. It is ludicrous to buy into this narrative after they have been funding these sunnni jihadis for years and even now saudi is funneling arms to ISIS. The current scenario whereby ISIS is being presented as a threat now explains the last several months of distancing from “terrorists” for public consumption.
NormanF Said:
this is it in a nutshell. Unless large amounts of arabs die, including their children, the Jews will be considered weakling feygeles and they will continue to hold up the 3 fingers. Bombing assets rather than people, restricting the punishment to hamas alone, will not provide the deterence. there must be a wailing, a sorrow, a gnashing of teeth, a nakba for the arab collective. The Arabs and the world must be shown that Jewish life is very expensive and the cost is too high. the response must be merciless. If not, the world will continue to demand restraint and proportionate response as an ongoing insult to the Jewish people.
I have no difficulty bypassing political correctness in advocating a merciless approach. I achieve this state of mind by imagining this being done to my son. Millions of arab lives and their children could not pay for my one son if I had the power.
Obama’s call for restraint is an insult. I think that the opposite is called for even as a military and strategic action. the message of merciless revenge, just like the 6 day war, will cause a paradigm shift in how the enemies perceive the Jews. A change in their perceptions is what will deter them in the future. Everyone stays clear of ISIS, no one asks them for restraint.
The Arabs know they won’t pay a price. They have no real fear of the Jews. Jews won’t do anything of consequence to deter them from killing their children. After all, Israel has never given Arab terrorists reason to believe they’re going to be punished for their atrocities. It ain’t gonna happen.
We are conclusively congenitally defective.
There is no other explanation for having still the miserable, treasonous, cowardly, untrustworthy, corrupt garbage as leaders.
Netanyahu and his specimens must be removed from office and free elections effected outside the putrid “combina”.
Elections a la “israeli demokratiahhhh” are just tools to rotate the unJewish filth up there.
Netanyahu will only attack Jews in earnest. The fetid disgrace is a sold out coward that intentionally allowed Iran to complete its plans and also intentionally released thousands of Islamic bestial murderers. Some of whom murdered again.
The disgrace is now forcing our children in uniform to re capture those beasts…
A Jewish REVOLUTION must take place.
