Fighting in Gaza

As the fighting in Gaza escalates we as Believers must stand behind Israel. Various terrorists groups such as the El Aska Brigade, the Popular Resistance Committee and Hamas have been shooting rockets into Israel for months trying to provoke them to return fire. Well, they got their wish. Israel has been pounding Gaza for the last few days now and bringing heavy damage to the Terrorist infrastructure.

Gaza is a hotbed for Terrorists. The last time I was there, Israel had blocked off the entire strip because of Islamic attacks on Israeli civilians. I had to sneak through an area known only to the Palestinians of that area just to get in. It is true that Gaza is very poor but this is because of their own doing. If they were to lay down arms and recognize Israel's sovereignty, they could live in peace and prosperity as the Arabs do within Israel proper enjoying full citizenship and rights (something no Jew has in any Arab country).

The Popular Resistance Committee has just issued a challenge to the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) to stop the air assaults and come and "fight like men" on the ground. This makes the Terrorists sound very courageous, however, they are anything but brave. In the 19 years I lived in Israel and 5 of those years living with the Palestinians in the West Bank, I can't tell you how many times I've seen with my own eyes Palestinian men shooting at Israeli soldiers from behind their own wives and children. I couldn't take pictures because I would've been killed immediately had they noticed I was taking such a shot. But I saw it nonetheless.

The Palestinians are also very vocal about attacking innocent Israeli civilians. They've told me many times that it's ok for them to target elementary schools because the Israelis have attacked their own elementary schools. They've even taken me to some of these places and showed me the damage done by Israeli attacks. What they fail to tell you is that they (the Palestinians) position their forces and artillery from within their very own schools. This also I have seen with my own eyes.

So this call they are now putting out for the IDF to come and fight like men is perverse. The Palestinian men are the ones who fight like cowards. They are the ones who put guns in the hands of Children and march them out to die for Allah. They are the ones who strap bombs to their daughters and send them to the Israeli checkpoints with orders to detonate. I know some of you already know these things to be true, but lets not forget it now as Israel is defending itself once more against the Satanic forces of Islam.
