The Call of the Israeli Apache
By Ariel Natan Pasko
Who hasn't seen them on CNN or Israeli TV; machinegun toting mobs,
chanting slogans of death and destruction, waving the green flag of
Islam, with black hoods hiding their faces? These brutal thugs and the
thousands of accomplices that participate at every political event, i.e.
funeral of another "Shaheed" - unholy martyr - shoot in the
air and promise more vengeance and murder. After every suicide bombing,
to honor their murderer, his last remains are brought for burial, in
what can only be called a frenzy of "Blood Lust". After every
time that Israel executes another terrorist leader with blood on his
hands - known in Israel as a targeted killing - the political circus of
Hamas, or Islamic Jihad, or who knows what, organizes another
demonstrative burial to show support for their murderous
"Hero". Their leaders call for more sacrifice, more blood,
more murder of Jews, Israelis, and whoever gets in their way toward a
Palestinian state and the destruction of Israel, Islamic revival, and
WORLD DOMINATION!
Similar scenes across the Arab and Islamic world were seen after
September 11th. The joy of unbridled "Blood Lust" let out onto
an unsuspecting world. You know what I'm talking about. We all know now.
"Terrorists and those who support them..." as President Bush
said. Need I say more? Did the United States do survey research to check
if every Taliban soldier in Afghanistan supported al-Qaida's attacks in
New York and Washington? Could there have been innocent Muslim
fundamentalists killed in the US air raids? Are there innocent
participants at these funerals of suicide bombers and terrorist
masterminds? If you're not sure of the answer, you've already lost the
war.
When thousands gather to bury a dead "Hero", praise his life's
work - killing innocent Israelis - and vow further blood shed, decent
people have to say, ENOUGH! And governments, whether it's India fighting
Kashmiri terror, Russia fighting the Chechens, the Philippines fighting
Abu Sayyaf - Bearer of the Sword - in Mindanao, or Israel on the front
lines of the war, have the responsibility to PUT DOWN this behavior. It
should be done by legitimate judicial means whenever possible.
Terrorists should be treated as common criminals, as the serial
murderers that they are, captured and prosecuted. But when not possible,
they should be pursued by all means.
The Rabbis of the Talmud taught over 1,600 years ago, "Those who
are merciful to the cruel, will end up being cruel to the kind."
The world desperately needs to learn this most practical of moral
lessons. Turning the other cheek wouldn't have helped stop Hitler, and
it won't work this time either against Islamic Fascism. Mercy and
forgiveness - ethics on the personal level between individuals - works
up to a point, but not against organized hordes with murderous intent,
fed by an ideology of death, their own and others. Between groups in
conflict, SAFETY & JUSTICE become the operative values. It's the
responsibility of us all - to ourselves and society at large - to
understand this, and demand that our governments pursue policies to
attain SAFETY & JUSTICE!
"Terrorists and those who support them..." That's why I'm
advocating a policy of ZERO TOLERANCE, zero tolerance for terrorists,
zero tolerance for those who support them, zero tolerance for public
acts of support, zero tolerance for calls of revenge and more terror by
these Muslim fanatics and their fellow travelers.
The Israeli government should call on Yasser Arafat, Mahmoud Abbas and
the Palestinian Authority to immediately implement already signed
agreements, outlawing violence against Israelis, and calls for that
violence. After a given period - say a week or two - if the Palestinian
Authority hasn't yet banned "political" funerals, hasn't
stopped public expressions of support for suicide bombings, machinegun
attacks and the like, Israel will begin the self-enforcement concept
implicit in any international treaty, or agreement.
Imagine for a moment, thousands chanting "Death to the Jews",
many shooting machineguns (unregistered and illegal?), in the air -
dozens of Palestinians have been killed or injured this way, I might add
- listening to speeches calling for revenge, murder, and more
atrocities.
The crowd, not just the leaders, is guilty. "Terrorists and those
who support them..."
As the frenzy of human sacrifice and blood lust reaches a peak, Israeli
helicopter gunships swoop down from the skies. The call of the Israeli
Apache has begun!
When a crowd of several thousand people celebrates the death of a
"Hero", whose life has been dedicated to murder and mayhem,
there are no innocents. They are giving support to the next
suicide bomber. Israeli Apaches strafe the crowd with machinegun fire,
and shoot several rockets into the center of the crowd. The stated goal
is to disburse the crowd. The intension is to put real fear into
terrorists and their supporters. Now, rather than turning every
funeral into a political rally and support for more bloodshed, funerals
will be what they're meant to be, SAD OCCASIONS.
The purpose of this Israeli policy is to self-enforce already signed
agreements, with the PA to stop terrorism and ban political activity in
support of it. The goal is to drive the Islamic Fascists underground.
The objective is to return funerals to their original purpose, burying
the dead, and no more. With consistent enforcement of this new policy by
Israel - strafing and bombing political rally-funerals by terrorist
groups - the result will be secret, hidden, quiet, late night or early
morning funerals for the family and friends alone, far from the eyes of
the public and media. No more celebrations in broad daylight of suicide,
murder, and other barbarities that boggle the civilized mind. No more
public displays of blood lust. No more public support for terrorists and
terrorism.
Either the Palestinian Authority does the job or Israel does it. Let THE
CALL OF THE ISRAELI APACHE begin!
