Israel attackers will not succeed

Israeli citizens have been under the threat of daily attack from Gaza for years.

Israeli citizens have been under the threat of daily attack from Gaza for years.

In the week before the justified Israeli anti-terror incursion into Gaza, hundreds of missiles and mortar shells were fired at Israeli civilian communities.

When Israeli children were killed by Hamas rockets the world was silent. Once again, those who would like to see Israel destroyed and its people subjected to genocide are falling over themselves to join in the chorus against Israel.

Hamas rains rockets down on Israel, targeting Jewish men, women and children for death, in accordance with their charter which calls for the killing of all Jews.

One marvels at how in a world filled with enormous evils such as totalitarian states that make their countries into large prison camps (Iran and North Korea); that massacre and enslave millions of citizens (Sudan); that wage deadly war against their own populations (Zimbabwe and Myanmar); that destroy entire cultures (as China is doing in Tibet) - it would seem a puzzle as to why the Jewish state and the US are the two most vilified countries in the world.

Where were all these hysterical people when Jewish people were incinerated by Hamas and the Islamic Jihad? We will never again walk quietly to the gas chambers. We will react when our people are killed in cold blood.

Even though the Palestinians will continue to work towards our destruction, they will not succeed.
