It Is What It Is

Who can be surprised at the public uproar over Israel’s takeover of a “peace” flotilla outside of Gaza earlier this week?
If it wasn’t the “peace” flotilla, it would have been something else. The world, drinking the toxic potion of Islamic hatred, has redefined the words “political correctness.” Now, to be politically correct means you’ll support the actions of those who would love nothing more than to see Israel dead.
While we’re basking in our desire to please everybody, let’s not forget that the same people who want to see Israel weakened or eliminated, have those same feelings about you and your country.
To borrow the overly used phrase, “it is what it is.”
There is no denying it.
When the creep who leads Iran is talking about eliminating Israel, we need to believe he’d try.
Last time we failed to believe someone like this, he had come up with a plan he called “the final solution.”
The Islamic world was extremely happy that Israel acted to defend itself. Were there other ways Israel could have stopped the flotilla? Perhaps.
When the U.S. is in a war with another nation or nations, it does everything and anything it can to defend itself. Let’s not forget that after the flotilla incident, the U.S. took out Al Queda’s number three leader with a rocket fired from a drone.
Any outrage there?
Was the U.S. worried about its image in the Islamic world when they took the Al Queda leader out?
Meanwhile, Israel’s development town of Sderot has a post traumatic stress syndrome percentage in its population that is daunting. Fifteen seconds can be the them between life or death when a rocket comes from Gaza.
There’s no outrage from Turkey or Egypt or anywhere else over the small children who have learned to count to 15, because that’s how long they have to get to a shelter.
Baltimore’s sister city Ashkelon is also in a position of target from the same people who want you to believe that they are in it for peace.
Israel would love nothing more than to be able to believe that there is such thing as a flotilla of peace.
But there isn’t.
Especially from the same people who brought you the Karine A, seized by Israel and loaded with weapons in 2002.
Stop drinking the Kool-Aid.
Israel has been positioned by its enemies that even a so-called peace flotilla is a trigger. The public relations risk?
It is what it is.
Israel has to risk bad public relations.
Let’s take security over bad public relations.
For political correctness, try drinking something else that isn’t mixed with toxicity.

And now of course we know that Reuters doctored their photos cropping out the knives held in the hands of the Arabs to make the Jews look bad. Big surprise there. The take home message should be to our brothers and sisters who will push our homeland to trade land for supposed peace. It is a fallacy. The Arabs have one desire and one desire only. That is to kill Jews. Everything else is a pretense. Use your votes, your money and your emotional energy to support our people. And please don’t make them commit suicide by giving up land for the false vision of peace. Because the truth of the matter is that the Arabs don’t want peace and they don’t want Israel in the hands of Jews. If you’re not sure about what I just said, why don’t you ask Helen Thomas of the Hearst News. I realize she is in forced retirement now, but she spoke for the liberal media when she blurted out what she said the other day. Must have forgotten to take her Aricept that morning.
