Tip for the Palestinians: If You Don’t Want a Mom & Kid Killed . . .; Tip for Netanyahu, Too
One of These Guys Should Be Running Israel; The Other is Currently Running Israel
Palestinian murders of Jews and Christians via bombings, stabbings, shootings, and so on, never ever stop. You just stop hearing about them in the news. . . until you do, when you are told that “violence has flared,” even though there was never any “flaring,” as it’s a consistent occurrence. But when Israel responds, you are preached at about the killing of an “innocent” Palestinian mother and her kid. Here’s a tip for the Palestinians who don’t want to be killed by accident. And I also have a tip for Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu who doesn’t want Israelis to be deliberately killed, as they are daily by Palestinian Muslims.
What if I told you that Muslims from Jordan and Egypt and Syria and Lebanon decided they wanted to build a mosque over most of the Vatican in Rome, including most of St. Peter’s Basilica . . . and that the Muslims would control St. Peter’s Square and who entered and when? What if I told you that Catholics would no longer be able to attend services anywhere near there and that even on the odd hours they could be in the vicinity, they would not be allowed to pray, or even to mouth Catholic prayers? You’d say this was nuts and that Catholics should kick the Muslims out and re-assert Catholic authority, right? And yet all of this happened with and to the Jewish Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism, where Muslims built a mosque over it (after throwing garbage on it).
But the Israelis have no cojones. They not only won’t assert Jewish authority over the Temple Mount, but the government of Israel long ago handed over control of it to Muslims–to their Waqf. Even when Israel recaptured the holy Jewish city of Jerusalem, the Israelis did nothing to assert control over the Temple Mount. To date, they’ve ceded policing of this area to Waqf guards (a/k/a anti-Semitic HAMAS supporters), who’ve allowed the Mount to be used to launch attacks on Jews and Israeli authorities, throwing rocks at them, etc. Until 2000, when Jews wanted to go to the Temple Mount, they were required to get tickets and permits from the Waqf. They can only go there during certain hours and are forbidden from praying or dressing in religious garb. They are not even allowed to mouth the words to prayers. Some Jews tried to do this a few times over the course of the last few decades, and each time they do, it’s used as a pretextual excuse for mass terrorist attacks by Palestinian Muslims on Jews, even though those attacks were already planned. That happened with the Intifadas (uprisings). And that’s happening now.
But I have news for Israel, if you act like a weakling, you will be treated like one and won’t be feared in the Muslim world. Muslims are the same as Marxists in following Stalin’s advice, about continuing to dig with bayonets if they find mush (and retreating if they find steel). Never reasserting Israel’s and the Jewish people’s rights to ALL of the Temple (including the Temple Mount) was a festering mistake. Israel cared too much in 1967 and has cared too much to date about what the rest of the world will think. (And no matter what Israel does, the rest of the world hates it, anyway.) If Israel had simply dismantled the mosque built atop the Jewish Temple, or at least retaken control of the structure and who goes in and out, Muslims would not have the Temple Mount as an excuse and a ruse. And Muslims would fear and respect Israel more. Instead, Israel has allowed the Muslims to show them who’s boss.
And, per usual, the “flaring” of violence against Jews–that “flaring” that never really flared because it’s been consistently occuring–is taking place. Kids were forced to watch Palestinian terrorists execute their parents in a car in the so-called West Bank. But you don’t hear about that because 1) they are Jews (and the only lives that count are Muslim lives allegedly taken by Jews), and 2) it was a deliberate act meant perpetrated in cold blood. The only thing that is important to the media is the killing of a Palestinian baby machine and her kid–both of them Jew-hating HAMAS supporters and enablers, BTW (the kid would have grown up to hate and probably kill Jews). It doesn’t matter that this was an accident, or that Israelis were targeting HAMAS weapons factories and sites. It doesn’t matter that Israelis have been stabbed and shot by Muslims for weeks and that a Palestinian homicide bomber just made an appearance (and a detonation).
Only Palestinian lives matter. Memo to Palestinians: don’t want a mother and a kid killed by accident? Stop your deliberate non-stop bloodshed of Jews, including moms and their kids.
Memo to Netanyahu: if you had any balls, you’d take away control of the Temple Mount from Muslims and start allowing Jews to openly hold services there.
Sadly, the average Palestinian on the street has bigger balls than Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israeli PM, does.
And that’s why the stabbings, shootings, and other killings of Israelis continue.
And why I sigh and shake my head, each time people e-mail me and cheer what a great, tough speech Netanyahu made to the UN or Congress.
Talk is cheap. And empty tough talk costs live.
No one ever said, “Speak loudly and carry a toothpick.”

BTW, the Palestinian Muslim chick suicide bomber wounded herself. Which is a good thing. But she also wounded an Israeli police officer.
And Israel has already taken the jihadista to their hospitals for the best medical care there is. You know, so she can one day try to bomb again. That’s why these stabbings and shootings and homicide bombings continue.
Because Netanyahu and other top Israelis are too concerned with appeasing the world rather than practicing the only thing that will stop the violence: “the Chicago Way.”
A few airstrikes won’t do it. It never does.
That Was Then . . .
This Is Now . . .
The Chicago Way? How about the Torah way? No Muslims in Eretz Israel. Period.
I’m not sure I agree that Bibi has no balls. Instead, he is part of the elite stratum that has always run Israel. The one thing these elites can’t risk is having the so-called Dati Leumi “National Religious” in power. The be-hatted Haredim have been co-opted and corrupted, practicing a “Judaism” that involves, among other things, letting wifey work while they “study” all day. But the National Religious believe both in Torah and in Zionism. They are dangerous to the elite stratum that believes only in making Israel look like the US (with older buildings). The elite stratum also holds that business interests trump everything, and business partners in different countries want the Fakestinians to have a “homeland.”
In 1967 Israel *could* have kept control of the Temple Mount. Now so many business interests have developed that there would be some cost in taking it. But this would be short-term cost. After all, Germany is perfectly happy to do business with Iran.
