Israel Matzav

Let's hope things are not as they appear to be

I said to myself at the beginning of this action that I would give anything to see a real battlefield defeat, but that it was much more likely that someone would step in at the 11th hour and get a ‘ceasefire” that would once again hand the terrorists a victory and leave the Israelis hollow for their efforts.

But that was 12 days ago, and frankly things certainly appear to have changed. For the first time in my life, Arabs that kill Israelis are not being given the cover of “peace missions” and “cease fire” calls for “dialog” for their actions. Arab terrorists have started a war, and they have for once – gotten exactly that in return. And I have to say as revolting as war is, I find this fact to be downright refreshing. Finally, starting a war has consequences beyond who sits on what side of the negotiation table. Finally starting a war might mean that you will lose! What a concept! (It certainly takes all the fun out of it, doesn’t it? – which is precisely why I think the President is following that idea. Terrorism isn’t any fun if it doesn’t get you what you want, but instead costs you everything you have. The first step towards ending terrorism is to stop making it pay as a strategy for engaging the enemy. )

Oh, and all this noise about "international support for peacekeeping". Uh,huh. Yeah right you betcha. International peacekeeping brigades populated by the ghostly Family Circus Character known as "Not Me".

The trick for the Israelis it seems, is keeping Hezbollah in the right frame of mind. Keep them thinking that they might just beat the Israelis this time. Keep them right up next to the border.

Oh what heroes we will be for fighting the Zionists.
Come a little closer now...
Oh how we will be praised in the capitals of Islam
Come on…
We’ve got them on the run Ali, we only need to push them a little bit harder
Come on sucker, just a little bit more…

Then SNAP! The Israeli trap is slammed shut like the worlds biggest rat trap.

The Israelis have been preparing the battlefield since the very beginning of this action. Don’t for a second start kidding yourself into thinking that they are following some slapdash half assed “ war by a little bit” strategy because they haven’t. Their actions have been taken with the greatest deliberation.

They know exactly what they are doing.

In my opinion, they are going for ‘all the marbles’ this time. Israel cannot and will not accept an enemy on its border that can and will fire missiles into its population. This time they are explosives, what happens when they are chemical and biological weapons?

An enemy that has pledged to commit genocide against them is not someone who any Israeli, or any Jew of any sort is going to negotiate anything with.

If you have been lead into thinking that this is going to be “lost by Israel”, I think you need to pick up a history book and talk to someone, anyone, who is from Israel. If you think that this action is going to lead to some sort of “talk” with Hezbollah or Iran or Syria, well then you’re high and I wouldn’t recommend taking any sort of urine tests any time soon because you won't pass.

It’s my opinion that Israel is in the process of preparing Southern Lebanon for the annihilation of Hezbollah and by that I mean, Iran. Remember what I said last week, Hezbollah is to Iran what the Nazi “Hermann Goering Division” was to the Wehrmacht, it’s a division of fighting troops, that’s all, no more no less. Its not a political party, its not a fraternal insurance organization. They are shock troops for Iran, no more, no less. Hitler and Mussolini had wall sized propaganda posters of themselves overlooking the town squares and the wide support of the populace too. It didn’t stop them from being genocidal monsters. The fact that there are Arabs who admire Hezbollah shouldn’t color anyone’s impression of who they are, what they stand for, and what they intend to do if given the chance.

In my opinion what Israel wants at this point in the war is an overconfident enemy committed to a course of action. They want as many of Hezbollah south of Sidon as is possible, and they want them to bring as much of their resources as they can lay their hands on with them.

Just picture General Custer riding down on the camp at the Little Big Horn saying;

“Come on boys we’ve caught them napping”.

Only this time, The Israelis are the Sioux, and Sheik Hassan Nasrallah is General Custer.
