Random Terror or Targeted Assassination?

 

Ari Fuld was felled by a 16-year-old a resident of the Palestinian Authority-controlled town of Yatta, south of Hevron named Khalil Jabarin. The murder took place near a shopping center in Gush Etzion, just south of Jerusalem. Forty-five-year-old Ari Fuld was stabbed in the back and as the terrorist fled, Ari managed to give chase and open fire on the terrorist, but he later was to succumb to his wounds. The immediate reaction was indicative of the life of Ari Fuld, a father of four from the town of Efrat in Gush Etzion and an IDF veteran where he was prone to act without thinking of himself first, as recounted in this story. The Hamas terror group, unsurprisingly, praised the terrorist responsible for the murder of Ari Fuld, calling Khalil Jabarin a hero and a martyr. Hamas released a statement which read in part, “We welcome the stabbing attack in Bethlehem, which coincided with the killings of our people during the March of Return.” They further added, “The attack makes it clear that our people wish to continue the Jerusalem intifada. To resist the occupation, by using all means necessary, is our legitimate right.”

 

Ari Fuld

 

The official Palestinian Authority news agency WAFA presented the terrorist who murdered Ari Fuld Sunday morning as a victim of an Israeli shooting playing down the inconvenient fact that he was shot after his commission of a terror attack stabbing Ari Fuld leading to the Israeli’s death. The story ran under the headline, ‘Israeli forces injure Palestinian near Bethlehem.’ We are just waiting to see if this story reaches outside of Israel and should it do so, it will be curious as to how it is presented. We are anticipating that in Europe the story will start with the Palestinian youth being shot by an activist Israeli who was prominent in the Settler Movement. After exhausting that lie, they might mention that the Israeli was the victim of a terrorist stabbing or they may simply leave his stabbing up to the reader to decide which came first, the knifing or the shooting. We can give them a hint, if the shooting came before the stabbing, then there would have been no stabbing, just one dead young man but here the shooter died and the stabber was merely wounded. The stabbing initiated the exchange as the stabber had run placing distance between himself and the shooting reply which in a state of shock was probably even less accurate. We also expect for European protests demanding that Khalil Jabarin, at the tender age of just 16, was likely not really responsible for his actions and it was the actions of Israel that brought on this act of frustration.

 

We have been to this dance before and know the tune all too well. NGOs such as the New Israel Fund, Students for Justice in Palestine, Adalah, BDS, Coalition of Women for Peace and a plethora of ‘Human Rights’ NGOs which are simply against Israel and working in concert with the Arab and Muslim worlds for the elimination of the Jewish State replacing it with a democratic state of all its citizens meaning the entirety of the former British Mandate where the populations of the Palestinian Authority, Gaza, UNWRA refugees and Jordan will vote with Israel in a democratic election one time for the new dictator of the lands from Iraq to the Mediterranean Sea. This will place the ballot before approximately seven million Jews and two million other minority religions against somewhere in the neighborhood of twenty-five-million Palestinian and Jordanian Arab Muslims. This has been the latest idea for a fair means of representing the Arabs as a whole in their dispute with Israel solved democratically. We think it sounds like twenty-five wolves and seven sheep deciding on what will be dinner, or should we say who will be dinner.

 

Ari Fuld was a well known man and easily recognizable in the areas around where he was murdered. He was a member of his community’s rapid response team, and IDF veteran, and an advocate for Israeli rights and the enforcement of the actual laws which meant that Area C was designated as Israeli and that Israel was not expected to return to the Green Line which has been referred to as the Auschwitz Borders. Anyone with even the slightest hint of intelligence with a knowledge of history know very well that the British Mandate placed the border between Jordan and Israel as the Jordan River and that is the legal border to this day. Until and unless Israel signs away her rights to these lands, as she did Gaza, there is no legal means of taking them away. Sure, the “Palestinian Authority has just submitted a claim where the PLO urged ICC Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda to meet with representatives of Khan al-Ahmar and Palestinian officials over the village’s fate,” according to Saab Erekat. He subsequently added, “We’re determined to pursue our fight in the UN Security Council, General Assembly and Human Rights Council and the International Court of Justice.” In response, US National Security Adviser John Bolton on Monday warned The Hague-based court not to go after Israel, stating, “We will not allow the ICC or any other organization to constrain Israel’s right to self-defense.” And of course, this would not be complete until we have two United Nations special human rights investigators commenting without any invitation stating, “Forced eviction constitutes a gross violation of the right to adequate housing under international human rights law. In addition, forcible transfer of people who are protected within an occupied territory is a grave breach of the Fourth Geneva Convention, and amounts to a war crime under the 1998 Rome Statute.”

 

We wonder what everyone thinks of the European Union building substandard shacks which lack water, sewage, electricity, gas, roads or even floors in the ‘homes’ and then protesting when Israel removes these illegal structures which were never licensed or inspected during their construction (see images below with the top one the one they are taking to the ICC). One can only wonder what the reaction would be if an Israeli company with money from an NGO would build a ramshackle neighborhood just outside The Hague and let homeless vagrants occupy them and demand that Brussels straighten out these homes and fit them to all the utilities so these poor people can live there. We get the feeling Israel would be condemned for this ‘equally egalitarian effort’ which mirrors the European Union actions in Israel and would be referred to as a completely different situation. Of course it is, there are no Jews being threatened, thus it has no purpose but the ones in Israel are on the grounds of another city, border a major highway and pose a direct threat even to emergency reaction forces which would need to use that highway. But that is exactly why the European Union is supporting the Palestinian complaint as is the United Nations and it would have been likely that the United States would have gone with the Palestinians had not the election placed Trump in the White House.

The reason we brought up these ludicrous attempts to destroy Israel was simply because Ari Fuld was deeply involved in the Zionist efforts and it will be impossible to replace his energy and enthusiasm. He is going to be missed and remembered whenever action may be required as he was a man who would not sit still when Israel was threatened. It was because of his community efforts and acts reaching throughout the region that made him a target. This was not what it will be portrayed, a random stabbing, this was a targeted murder. This was how the Palestinian Authority, PLO, Mahmoud Abbas, Hamas and the plethora of Arab anti-Israel, anti-Zionist and anti-Semitic groups and individuals work to have their side take the superior position. To get a feel for the loss Israel is feeling and his community as well as his family, simply search Ari Fuld on Google or whatever search engine and you can get an idea of the man but for a deeper understanding, simply visit his Facebook page as long as Facebook leaves it in place. Nothing you read or watch can fully explain this wonderful human being who was targeted because he loved Israel and the Jewish People.

Update on IDF Soldier Who Shot Terrorist in Hevron

 

This report has some good news which has to be tempered by the remaining realities. There was a crowd estimated to include many hundreds at the Tuesday hearing and a fair number again yesterday all in support of the soldier demanding all charges be dropped (see video below which shows the front of the protests). There are some who have called for the soldier to receive a medal as he was a hero acting to protect both the other soldiers and the civilians who were present at the scene. There were also the B’Tselem instigators as well as some civilians at the scene of the shooting where some were yelling that the terrorist might have a bomb under his heavy coat, something which has occurred with some other stabbings and always a potential threat. The soldier reported that he reacted to the terrorist who was reaching under his coat which the soldier feared was the terrorist reaching for a detonator, the same terrorist who had already taken part in the stabbing of another soldier. One need remember that the soldier in question had arrived on scene a mere minute or two before suspecting the terrorist might have a bomb. The young man had not been briefed as to whether the terrorist had already been searched and suspected the worst case. At the Thursday hearings the government military prosecutor dropped the murder charges and requested they be replaced with simple manslaughter charge against the soldier. Where we here at BTC are glad over the dropping of the murder charge; we would rather the soldier be at worst be given a verbal warning and have him receive and the rest of his company receive additional training, especially on how to react in chaotic situations where there is confusion and threats are not fully determined. There were speakers including some Ministers of the Knesset and while such support is appreciated we will not list them as this story is about the future of a soldier who reacted in an effort to eradicate a severe threat he was witnessing.

 

 

The military prosecutor chosen for this case is Lt. Col. Adoram Rigler who stated that his review of the evidence which has been gathered strongly implied “serious suspicions,” and therefore asked to extend the soldier’s detention by another seven days. Part of continuing holding the soldier in detention limits greatly his opportunity to work with his defense team and collect the many “experts” in numerous fields which claim his shooting was understandable and possibly demanded by the situation. This was due to the information the soldier had and the actions of the terrorist which resulted in his being shot by the soldier. There have been “experts” of human motion, all military laws and “Rules of Engagement” and anything which will raise one’s stature in order to receive attention and do interviews. This has led to many people claiming things they believe were the events which led to the shooting. They are spread across the spectrum taking positions both for and against the soldier’s actions. The bevy of various NGOs concerned with “human rights” but whose actions are usually targeting IDF and Border Police doing their assigned tasks attempting through provocations to produce a shooting just as what occurred last week. The videotaping by B’Tselem at the scene makes one all the more suspicious that this was a set-up where they were hoping to produce an active confrontation. One need remember that B’Tselem receives the bulk of their funding not from Israel or Israelis but from European governments and other leftist European sources all of which are looking to destroy Israel in any manner possible. This corrupts the B’Tselem claim to be concerned with assisting the IDF and other security sources with their “human rights” considerations. Their release and supporting their carefully edited videos and not approaching the IDF and attempting to receive opportunities to brief and possibly instruct the soldiers in a more proper manner of handling situations damns their actions as intended to damage the IDF, not assist the IDF.

Perhaps we should look beyond this specific case and look at IDF actions and the surrounding influences and limitations and decide whether such Rules of Engagement (ROE) restricting their actions and even at times their ability for self-defense are placing the soldiers in far greater harm as well as the public or whether they represent prudent limitations on the use of force. In all too many cases the IDF hierarchy and high command immediately rush to back any accusation made against their troops. This lack of supporting the troops in any time of such conflict where accusations fly around coming from every corner will only result in troops refusing to serve beyond the Green Line or in Jerusalem likely causing far more dead troops and civilians. The commanders and especially the Defense Minister, Prime Minister and one would hope the Ministers from the Knesset, with some obvious exceptions, would back the soldier or at the very least remain neutral and simply state they hope the soldier’s actions prove to be proper but are awaiting the investigation which will be conducted in an orderly and professional manner. Instead we have had the Defense Minister, Knesset Ministers and commanders trying this case in the public taking the view that the soldier must be punished as his actions could never be justified no matter the situation. That is unprofessional and quite an unhelpful approach as it sets an atmosphere where those handling the case have to feel that they are being pressed to go after this soldier with every tool and twisting of facts required to validate these expectations. We are not asking for the General who commands the IDF to make a public announcement that they back the soldier 100% and see no reason to investigate the shooting. What we want is the making of no comment and not simply throwing the soldier to the piranhas from media who are already out for blood on the shooting. The displays of prejudging this case before all the facts have been gathered and findings made public and allowing the system to handle the aftermath has been disgusting at best and horrific at the worst. Everyone has decided the fate of this young man and is sending a message to the troops that a terrorist’s life is far more precious than are the soldiers of the IDF; and when commanders also take this position acting more like perfumed princes seeking public favor from the wealthy leftist influences which have abounded in this case the troops lose morale and start to doubt the support they were taught would back them.

 

Meanwhile, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade, which belongs to Abbas’s Fatah have lauded praises upon terrorists who shot Israelis near Hevron on Friday. There were two attacks on Friday involving shooting by terrorists, the first was where two teens were wounded by terrorist gunfire near the Cave of the Patriarchs, and the second targeted a soldier wounding him in a separate shooting attack at Beit Anun. These shootings are an escalation which started a few weeks back as the stabbings and attempts to ram pedestrians and people waiting at bus stops with vehicles continues. This has been the trend of past intifadas where there is a slow but steady progression from throwing rocks to throwing boulders attempting to murder the occupants in passing vehicles. This inevitably leads to stabbings and the attempts to use vehicles to ram and run over people which were a new twist that started soon after the stabbings. The slow escalation with shooting slowly ramped up has thus far succeeded in keeping the media, with a few exceptions, ignoring the new phase and thus giving any reports almost an afterthought and not worthy of the headline on page one. This simply furthers the mood and understanding of the situation we have placed the IDF, Border Police and other units into as the increasing deadliness of attacks being ignored lulls the public into thinking that the terrorist attacks have not necessarily crossed into a mood where the soldiers feel more of a threat and thus become more urgent in their handling of terrorist arrests or detentions. The situation having escalated it should be accepted that troops would be expecting suicide bombings as that is the progression after shootings start with a few weeks between each start. It is the old adage of placing the frog in a pan of water and slowly raising it to a boil and the frog does not move but attempting to throw the frog into already boiling water the frog resists and attempts to immediately jump from the water. The public are the first frog and the IDF and others on the front line the second, which explains part of the disconnect between much of the public and those actually under threat. Fortunately, most Israelis, outside of those refusing to ever see terrorism by the Arab Palestinians, understand the tactics and remain aware of the actual level of violence being faced by the soldiers as well as members of the public who could become targets of these shooters. The exception is the media which often takes the extreme leftist view of situation as their living in a bubble where their communities are fenced and guarded and they work in the safest of conditions and thus do not feel the same threats as do the public.

The trial of this soldier will continue and the longer it drags on, the better, as the media will lose their interest and the leftist agitators are already planning their next confrontation. The best hope is for the matter to be out of the public eye when there is less or no pressures to convict the soldier making him a sacrificial lamb sacrificed to the leftist agitations paid for by European money. The fact that these NGOs are permitted to operate as if they were actually Israeli funded and indigenous groups when often “experts” from Europe often come and work with the NGOs in preparing and sometimes actually participating in provocations which are always filmed so that they can be released, well, after some heavy editing as some actions must be hidden. This type of slanted actions by the media was also very evident in another case from April of 2012 where Europeans had gathered some Arab Palestinians and they began a convoy on a major thoroughfare blocking and slowing traffic in one direction. When confronted by an IDF unit the provocations rose significantly. Lieutenant Colonel Shaul Eisner was commanding these troops and was at the scene. Lieutenant Colonel Eisner, who was filmed striking a protester with his rifle butt which was all one heard for weeks on the media covering this “serious breach of protocol and loss of control” by an IDF commander. Lieutenant Colonel Eisner was made a sacrificial lamb on the altar of political correctness and was reprimanded and was barred from command positions for two years. Lieutenant Colonel Eisner stated that he regretted hitting activist “in front of cameras,” always in front of the ever-present cameras used at the confrontations. What was left out of every video and conversation in the media was the fact that the Lieutenant Colonel received a broken finger after one of the European “human rights” activists grabbed his hand and attacked the Lieutenant Colonel breaking his finger. That provocation was of little if any coverage as he should remain completely unfazed by such an assault and injury.

The disconnect is first that the terrorism suffered in Israel is considered by most Western media, experts and others to be completely separate from the terrorism suffered in the West and other places outside of Israel. Somehow the Israelis are treated as if they deserve the terrorism they receive and that the Arabs shooting and bombing in Israel have no connection or links to the terrorists striking Paris or Brussels or Boston or San Bernardino. This is a false assumption and should the West be interested in what kind of terrorism they will be facing in the coming years as the numbers of Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) “refugees” continue pouring into their countries they need look no further than Israel and the current level of violence and watch the escalation and learn. This is a war between two competing social orders, the freedom and liberties of the West against the stifling oppressive theocracies of MENA and the levels of violence and restriction on the media and life in general. Eventually, and it should not take too long, the West will awaken and realize they have a big and growing problem on their hands wrought by their own altruistic fallacies that permitted a snake to make its way into their tents and now even into their sleeping bags making life endangered. We do not expect the West to wake up until the war is all but lost but please leave Israel alone to at least fight the rising menaces in the Middle East. Do not moralize us as you do not understand and when you figure out the problem we will be glad to offer what assistance and advice as we are able and requested. We do not tell you how to treat terrorist acts in your house; please do not interfere with our handling terrorism in our house.

 

Beyond the Cusp

 

Today Europe Labels Judea and Samaria, Tomorrow All Israel

 

The European Union has voted their fate casting their lot with the anti-Semites, the anti-Zionists and the anti-Israel BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Movement) which was originated by Mahmoud Abbas and the PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization) which is the terrorist group made legal by the world’s insane drive to destroy Israel, to destroy the Jewish State. The European Union has decided their future is with the Islamic world and they will very likely get their wish as Islam is poised to crawl over the rotting corpse of a dead culture spent and tired crawling towards extinction as they forfeit their culture for expediency. The Europeans’ society has fallen so rotten in its core that their reproductive rate has fallen well below replacement levels and this has bode extremely troubling for the now elderly society realizing that there are insufficient youth to pay taxes in order to subsidize their retirement pensions and other services the governments have promised. The European Union realizes this more than most of the wealthier nations seeing the dissolution of Spain, Portugal, Greece, and the possibility that soon these will be joined by Italy and eventually France. Then the European Union looks to the east to see the former Warsaw Pact nations, from before the Soviet Union, and satellite Communist nations imploded due to financial and other systemic problems. These nations are still crawling, scratching and clawing their way in recovering from almost a century of slowly degrading and collapsing governance which took a toll on infrastructure, lacked modernized systems for power, water, energy and transportation leaving a ruined near wastelands which have been performing bravely but still not ready to support the over-bloated and aging society of Western Europe and also facing some of the same demographic inequalities though for different reasons but the same result of aging societies as the youth fled to greener pastures leaving their former generations behind and not even looking back. This is the demographic and financial bombshell which is threatening to explode all across Europe.

 

Europe desperately needed more working youth to support the top heavy aging society and believes they found the answer in the Islamic world. But there is a problem inviting what they saw as their potential salvation in the Islamic world. The Germans initially looked to Turkey, France to Algeria, Italy to Libya and Spain and Portugal to the smaller states from the coastal regions of northwestern Africa. What nobody predicted was the tens of hundreds of thousands of refugees flooding Europe like army ants clearing the jungle as they open their path from the old nest to their new nest. They thought they were getting Syrian families who had no home left and were stranded in camps with no hope seeking a savior, and the Europeans led by German Chancellor Angela Merkel who announced in a speech the willingness of Germany to absorb eight-hundred-thousand Syrian refugees. Well, Europe got their refugees but they were not quite what they had been expecting. The refugees did not have demographics of families with small children, mothers and fathers but instead these refugees were not all Syrian and not anywhere near as many were families but rather military age of fifteen to forty years of age, alone and many riotous already and refusing food aid claiming it was not Halal. They have broken from any holding areas and have torn through the areas stealing and antagonizing the people who reside in the adjoining neighborhoods. Obviously these disturbances were minor inconveniences as we now know after the assault in Paris, France last Friday.

 

But the European Union is still more concerned with the possibility that Jews and Arabs are working together receiving equal respect, equal treatment, equal pay, and equal opportunity. With a mix of Arabs and Jews at every level of the companies except for one, the companies are owned predominantly by Jews, but this is not sufficient so it must not be permitted to stand. Jews employing Arabs as well as Jews and treating them fairly is simply unthinkable and as such cannot be true. Those all-knowing Europeans have assessed this according to their beliefs that Israel is in an Apartheid State and its Jews are all racist. The fact that in the Israeli Knesset, Arabs such as Minister Ahmed Tibi (United Arab List) insists that Hamas is not a terror organization while holding the position of Deputy Speaker and Hanin Zoabi (Balad) was on the Mavi Marmara when the deadly assault with Israeli forces enforcing the legal embargo took place and she is still protected by the Israel Supreme Court and serves in the Knesset as well. In virtually any European country at least one of the pair, if not both, would have been tried and convicted of treason but in Israel they are coddled darlings of the left and not only free but serving in the Israeli Parliament. The Europeans might not be as open minded towards Israel and the Jews as the Israelis are to the Arabs in their midst. But certainly this cannot be true, Europeans are as accepting as they come, after all, look at the refugees the Europeans have accepted into their nations.

Then there are the newest wave of refugees, or should we call them what they really are, front line shock troops. No, I am not going to actually claim that all the refugees are militants out to destroy Europe and there are likely many families honestly seeking safe shelter and a place to make a fresh start. Unfortunately, it does not take a multitude to spoil the entire European welcoming of the honestly needy and abused Syrian refugees, it doesn’t even take a plurality, it merely takes a remarkably small percentage when the numbers of refugees are approaching over a million souls. The other problem is that it often takes but a few well trained instigators to bring what would be an otherwise small problem into a full blown riot. It is what in the United States is often called a community organizer, and there appear to be quite a few such well-trained instigators amongst the refugees as riots have broken out throughout the heart of Europe. These riots are tame compared to the terror attack in Paris and we are not making any comparison but the rioting is disconcerting when it is your neighborhood. There have been reports that even in Germany there have been serious advantages taken by the government by sending hundreds of refugees to very small towns in the countryside which have long traditions and had agreed to accept some, a reasonable and justifiably reasonable few in proportions to their populations. This was exemplified to the ridiculous, even worse, this could only be equaled by the theater of the absurd as the tiny German town of Sumte, population 102, will soon be home to 750 refugees from around the world. There have been other reports, some from other than known trusted sources, which tell of numerous other towns where the numbers of refugees will completely change the communities by refugees equaling half that of the population to as much as double the population and this is just the first phase of German distributing the onslaught of refugees and other Muslims which have overwhelmed German capabilities to manage. There have even been discussions by German officials to try and place a large number of refugees in other European countries. The rioting which has been claimed to have become a serious problem of late surprisingly began farther back than many might believe. Here is an example in the video below from September 5, 2015 in the city of Budapest.

 

 

 

 

With such a number of incoming Muslims and the percentage of radicalized observant Muslims apparently amongst them, there is the possibility that the European Union might be bowing to the Arab Palestinian BDS Movement in order to transform Europe making it a more comfortable and sympathetically adjusted atmosphere. One might posit that by labeling the goods made by a well-adjusted, multicultural, integrated, multi-ethnic, religiously mixed, religiously blind, mutually profitable businesses which pay Arabs and Jews according to their positions and promotions are merit-based but are owned by Jews is but the first step by the European Union in ridding their shelves of any Jewish Israeli owned products. Their historic support of all Arab demands over Jewish interests, especially Israeli interests, from the 1948 war of Jewish genocide where Israel lost the Gaza to Egypt, the Golan Heights to Syria, and Judea and Samaria to Jordan who found Judea, as well as Samaria, as sounding far too Jewish renamed them West Bank and attempted to annex them which was not recognized as their possession was an obvious occupation which was all but impossible to ignore. What might be next might be the European Union folding to the Arab Palestinian BDS Movement’s oft stated goal of having all Israeli products so labeled as the Arabs claim is that all of Israel is occupied lands. Should such a step be taken it would be an even more obvious and threatening situation for Europe’s Jewish citizens. Such steps might even be taken as a move meant as a threatening acquiescence to such Arab designs and demands so easily and eagerly, there might be those who might believe that these moves were intended to be making Europe Judenrein for the incoming Muslims. The politicians will deny such designs were their intentions, but the truth will eventually emerge despite all the hype, screaming, yelling, knocking in doors and all the temper tantrums, the truth will eventually be heard.

There is an interesting effect which has been seen by those who have bothered to seek the trends within Europe. The distance between the average politicians, especially those of the European Union, and the peoples have been ever widening. This trend has seen the peoples sliding towards a more conservative, right-wing, nationalist position. At the same time the politicians are flinching before the loudest complainers, the leftists whose international and domestic policies will estrange the politicians from the people. Part of any polls since Friday or over the next weeks will only show these gaps widening as the peoples and politicians each react in totally disparate ways. This distancing between the peoples and the politicians can only be resolved in one of two ways; either the peoples will replace the current parties and people with ones which more closely represent their growing nationalist and conservative views or the politicians will find ways of buying votes with programs, spending money or other investments to persuade sufficient numbers of voters to give them their votes to maintain their seats. There is coming turmoil in Europe which may result in a new map of the Islamic World as compared to the one we have used previously.

 

 

 

 

The world, not only the Europeans, is completely and totally obsessed with Israel. Their hatred is beyond the white hot rage which blinds their eyes to the facts and burns out the circuitry of their minds to recognize their completely off-the-wall crazy-insane slogans and actual points they chant and applaud whenever they gather in a group larger than a dozen believers. Here are a few examples to ponder while you have your third morning cup of coffee, hopefully rich and aromatic coffee. The chanted demand for “From the river to the sea; Palestine must be free.” Where does Israel belong in your claimed perfect solution of two states living side-by-side in peace and security? Next, “The IDF is committing genocide in” (your choice as you use these interchangeably) 1) “Gaza,” 2) “the West Bank,” 3) “Jenin which was wiped off the map” (proven by the special investigators for the United Nations and verified by the HRC, UN Human Rights Council, to be an actual battle fought completely within a half mile radius not harming the rest of a major Arab city) and 4) “Israel is committing ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians” yet somehow there are over five million Arab Palestinians, that’s 5,000,000, all from an initial population estimated to be somewhere between a half and three-quarters of a million original refugees. Trust me when I inform you that should the IDF actually decide to cleanse the areas of Arab Palestinians there would be a few less alive today, not five million Arab Palestinians, like somewhere between zero and none. Of course you know as well as we do that such a situation would only be the result of a Pan-Arab and Muslim final Jihad against Israel and Jews everywhere were to be declared, and such would not be an idea from Israel, never. Then the IDF and every Jew with an ounce of common sense would join the fight as better to die on one’s feet than be beheaded stooped over on one’s knees. Then the battle would be to the death of one side or the other, the Arabs or the Jews, then you will see what genocide looks like, but we fear that the Jews will be at the wrong end in such a war.
