We Single Israel Out Because We in the West Are Shamefully Complicit in Its Crimes

The speech Bibi should give right now, to change everything - instantly‏

Israel is "singled out" today, but by its friends and not just by its enemies. It has been singled out for unparalleled support -- financial, military, diplomatic -- by the western powers. It is indeed, to quote Ben-Ami, a "special case". Which other country is in receipt of $3 billion a year in U.S. aid, despite maintaining a 47-year military occupation in violation of international law? Which other country has been allowed to develop and stockpile nuclear weapons in secret?

Hi Jim:

It's 1,000 to 1 that Hamas will go for it, and 100 to 1 that the "news" media will even confront Hamas's leaders at Al Shifa hospital, to ask them about it.  But in the oft chance that the question is asked, and Hamas agrees to let them out, then the onus will shift to all those "human rights" and "humanitarian" groups, who are flush with cash and resources, but are not accustomed to doing things with Israel, to help Palestinian civilians. 

Well, now's the time to pony up, a-holes.  OXFAM?  Hewlett Foundation?  Ford Foundation?  Time to open your checkbooks wide.  Oh, you're not going to?  Gee, what a f-ing surprise.  Well, we'll send as many buses as we can, and house as many as we can.  Just remember, you moral reprobates, who is really trying to save Gaza civilians, and who is enabling Hamas to condemn them to this kind of danger, because Hamas's "fighters" are too cowardly to face us, man to man.

But leaving aside all the other practical and political issues: even assuming you could house and care for them, not sure it is a good idea to invite all 1.8 million Palestinians from Gaza into Israel, the homeland to which they supposedly want to return.

The speech that PM Netanyahu should give, right now, to change everything regarding Operation Protective Edge – instantly
By “JS,” a friend of Israel, July 21, 2014

I've called this press conference to announce a major new Israeli initiative to restore peace to the region, and to ensure that our current conflict with Hamas is brought to a decisive conclusion, as quickly as possible.

There is no people on the face of the Earth that is more saddened by civilian suffering, injury and death, than Israelis. That is why we have taken every conceivable step to prevent and minimize civilian casualties whenever we must engage in counter-terror operations, whether in the West Bank or now, in Gaza. When we identify where rocket fire is coming from, we drop leaflets into the area and place thousands of text messages, pleading with the civilian population to evacuate the area, so we can target only those who are targeting Israeli civilians.

We have invested a fortune to develop precision-guided weapons, that allow us to target only terrorists. These weapons are so precise that we can, for instance, target single vehicles that Hamas operatives are using to move about the area, without harming any surrounding structures (show video of auto exploding).

But in combat situations, these weapons are only effective against terrorists who fire their rockets in the open, instead of from behind women and children. Unfortunately, Hamas and allied terror groups are some of the biggest cowards in the world; they are unwilling to wear uniforms, and fight us man-to-man. Instead, they wear street clothes, and have effectively enslaved a civilian population, which they use as human shields. Using this cowardly tactic, they have launched thousands and thousands of rockets against Israeli population centers from civilian homes, schools and hospitals, deliberately placing Gaza's women, children and the elderly in harm's way. Because while our precision weaponry can target a specific rocket launcher, for instance, they cannot prevent the women and children whom Hamas often orders to stand within feet of that launcher from also being hit.

The Israeli government, in conjunction with the IDF and our intelligence agencies, have done everything in our power to prevent even one Gaza civilian from being harmed, while at the same time, Hamas has made harming and killing Gaza civilians a central part of its war doctrine.

Unfortunately, only one side of this story has generally gotten out: everyday citizens around the world typically see only the daily drip-drip-drip of graphic scenes of Gaza civilians who are afraid, or have been harmed by Hamas's tactics, but they are told nothing about the fact that it is Hamas's actions – and Hamas's actions alone – that are responsible for these tragedies.

Further, the everyday people of the world are not being exposed to the fact that after Israel relaxed the quarantine on Gaza, and began allowing more concrete and building materials into the area, on the promise that they would only be used to improve the lot of the civilian infrastructure, that Hamas instead used these materials to construct a veritable underground city of bunkers, tunnels, and storage facilities.

In any normal country, during wartime the government would encourage civilians to use these underground resources to keep them safe. Along these lines, a reasonable person would ask Hamas, “Why are you not letting – or ordering – the civilian population of Gaza into these underground facilities, or any of your other secure locations, to protect them from the fighting?”

Unfortunately, no one in the media, or any of the so-called “human rights” groups are asking that question – probably because they know what the answer is: that Hamas constructed all those underground facilities for their own purposes, to protect their militants, and store the thousands of rockets they claim to have, while forcing civilians to live directly atop them.

These are just some of the ways in which the everyday population of the world has been given a shamefully biased, lopsided picture-behind-the-pictures, of what is really happening on the ground in Gaza, and why. And instead of assigning blame where it belongs – to the Hamas cowards who refuse to fight like men, and instead fire while hiding behind women and children, these supposed moral authorities condemn Israel, and blame us for all of the civilian casualties that Hamas itself is causing.

Well, we've come up with a solution to this problem that, as I said earlier, is designed to restore peace to the region, and ensure that our current conflict with Hamas is brought to a decisive conclusion, as quickly as possible. The key to accomplishing these goals is this:

We ask Hamas to establish a safe-harbor point for Gaza civilians to exit the area at this location (specify), and to provide transportation for them to get there. The Israeli government, in turn, will organize a convoy of tour buses and school buses, which will transport these civilians to facilities where we can care for them, until our war against Hamas ends: sporting arenas, unused schools, and the like. They will be provided with food, medical care and shelter, and assuming no Hamas rockets him them, they will be safe.


Once this exodus is completed, it is assumed that aside from a few special cases, the only people that will be left in Gaza will be those who are man enough to face us, soldier to soldier. That way, Gaza's civilian population will be completely taken out of the equation, and Hamas will no longer be able to use women and children as human shields.


We are calling this Operation Hamas Let Your People Go. To facilitate it, we have established a website,
hamasletyourpeoplego.com, and placed a team on the ground in Egypt to handle the necessary logistical coordination with Hamas.

For people around the world who are truly concerned about Gaza's civilian population, I ask you to please contact your governmental representatives and the human rights groups in your area, and ask them to support Operation Hamas Let Your People Go. To the humanitarian aid organizations, I ask that you commit to supporting this venture, and to donating the food, medicine, bedding and other necessary materials to help Gaza civilians to make this transition.

Will Hamas take us up on this offer? According to a July 17 article in the Washington Post, some of Hamas's leaders are now using the Al Shifa hospital as their command and control headquarters, knowing that we do not want to strike them there.

So at least you in the media know where to find them. Will you ask these terrorists if, for once, they will act like leaders, and let their people be transported to safety, so that we can bring a swift, decisive end to the war they declared on us?

Lastly, to the many bloggers around the world who know the truth, who are supporting Israel in this time of crisis, I ask you to use the hashtag #hamasletyourpeoplego on all your posts and social media efforts.

May God bless you all, and may He help Hamas to see the urgency and morality of letting its people enjoy peace and safe harbor, while we work to bring an decisive end to the current war.

Thank you. I will now take some questions.

I hear ya. I would just like to be a fly on the wall, and listen on on the AP-Reuters-AFP-WashPost-B'Tselem-HRW private conversations, after Bibi throws down this gauntlet, and they are confronted with the reality that they have been enabling the biggest cowards on the planet, and that it is Israel that is offering to protect Gaza civilians.  Talk about the mental and moral gears grinding.  It would be a very, very sweet sound to hear.

The Israeli government, in conjunction with the IDF and our intelligence agencies, have done everything in our power to prevent even one Gaza civilian from being harmed, while at the same time, Hamas has made harming and killing Gaza civilians a central part of its war doctrine.

Unfortunately, only one side of this story has generally gotten out: everyday citizens around the world typically see only the daily drip-drip-drip of graphic scenes of Gaza civilians who are afraid, or have been harmed by Hamas's tactics, but they are told nothing about the fact that it is Hamas's actions – and Hamas's actions alone – that are responsible for these tragedies.

Further, the everyday people of the world are not being exposed to the fact that after Israel relaxed the quarantine on Gaza, and began allowing more concrete and building materials into the area, on the promise that they would only be used to improve the lot of the civilian infrastructure, that Hamas instead used these materials to construct a veritable underground city of bunkers, tunnels, and storage facilities.

In any normal country, during wartime the government would encourage civilians to use these underground resources to keep them safe. Along these lines, a reasonable person would ask Hamas, “Why are you not letting – or ordering – the civilian population of Gaza into these underground facilities, or any of your other secure locations, to protect them from the fighting?”

Unfortunately, no one in the media, or any of the so-called “human rights” groups are asking that question – probably because they know what the answer is: that Hamas constructed all those underground facilities for their own purposes, to protect their militants, and store the thousands of rockets they claim to have, while forcing civilians to live directly atop them.

These are just some of the ways in which the everyday population of the world has been given a shamefully biased, lopsided picture-behind-the-pictures, of what is really happening on the ground in Gaza, and why. And instead of assigning blame where it belongs – to the Hamas cowards who refuse to fight like men, and instead fire while hiding behind women and children, these supposed moral authorities condemn Israel, and blame us for all of the civilian casualties that Hamas itself is causing.

Well, we've come up with a solution to this problem that, as I said earlier, is designed to restore peace to the region, and ensure that our current conflict with Hamas is brought to a decisive conclusion, as quickly as possible. The key to accomplishing these goals is this:

We ask Hamas to establish a safe-harbor point for Gaza civilians to exit the area at this location (specify), and to provide transportation for them to get there. The Israeli government, in turn, will organize a convoy of tour buses and school buses, which will transport these civilians to facilities where we can care for them, until our war against Hamas ends: sporting arenas, unused schools, and the like. They will be provided with food, medical care and shelter, and assuming no Hamas rockets him them, they will be safe.

Once this exodus is completed, it is assumed that aside from a few special cases, the only people that will be left in Gaza will be those who are man enough to face us, soldier to soldier. That way, Gaza's civilian population will be completely taken out of the equation, and Hamas will no longer be able to use women and children as human shields.


We are calling this Operation Hamas Let Your People Go. To facilitate it, we have established a website, hamasletyourpeoplego.com, and placed a team on the ground in Egypt to handle the necessary logistical coordination with Hamas.


For people around the world who are truly concerned about Gaza's civilian population, I ask you to please contact your governmental representatives and the human rights groups in your area, and ask them to support Operation Hamas Let Your People Go. To the humanitarian aid organizations, I ask that you commit to supporting this venture, and to donating the food, medicine, bedding and other necessary materials to help Gaza civilians to make this transition.

Will Hamas take us up on this offer? According to a July 17 article in the Washington Post, some of Hamas's leaders are now using the Al Shifa hospital as their command and control headquarters, knowing that we do not want to strike them there.

So at least you in the media know where to find them. Will you ask these terrorists if, for once, they will act like leaders, and let their people be transported to safety, so that we can bring a swift, decisive end to the war they declared on us?

Lastly, to the many bloggers around the world who know the truth, who are supporting Israel in this time of crisis, I ask you to use the hashtag #hamasletyourpeoplego on all your posts and social media efforts.

May God bless you all, and may He help Hamas to see the urgency and morality of letting its people enjoy peace and safe harbor, while we work to bring an decisive end to the current war.

Thank you. I will now take some questions.
