Column One: The 'realist' fantasy [Palestinian Authority Legalizes Crucifixion]
The Jerusalem Post ^ | 12/31/2008 | Caroline Glick

Both Iran and its Hamas proxy in Gaza have been busy this Christmas week showing Christendom just what they think of it. But no one seems to have noticed.

On Tuesday, Hamas legislators marked the Christmas season by passing a Shari'a criminal code for the Palestinian Authority. Among other things, it legalizes crucifixion.

For the entire Palestinian Authority or just for Gaza?

"I guess this makes Palis the new ‘crusaders’...so to speak."

...or more accurately, considering their plans for crucifixions, the New Romans. ;-)

I'm taking the article at face value in that it said further down that the Palestinian Authority passed the law, but the article mentioned Hamas and Gaza.

Would it necessarily make a big difference?

In all seriousness, imagine them actually going through with this, and it headlining the news. I think it would sent shockwaves throughout the civilized world.

No it wouldn't, because the media would censor the details. They do it all the time. How many have carried the details of what was done to the Jewish victims in Mumbai? I mean, before they were killed.

True - I looked at the pics last night (much to my horror) and thought the very same thing....why are we not hearing about THIS?

I’ve come to the conclusion that if a white or Jewish person is the victim of a hate crime, the media will do all it can to mask it.

I can see why you think that. I would throw the Christian onto that list as well. Seems to me it is open season on both Jews and Christians, depending on which area of the world one is in.

I believe the media is MUCH more evil than most think.

Well, they can probably supply the two thieves. I wonder about the other guy, though.

Open the door on medieval, scum eaters, and you’ve got a half-planet full of unlimited Crusade on the other side ready to chew your Mecca-stained faces right off.

I HOPE we can count on a half-planet’s support. From the lack of reaction to the base and inhuman treatment heretofore leaked out in drips and drabs, my assessment is that this sort of provocation has managed a collective, somewhat stifled yawn by the other half of the world.

There was a service today for a suburban Detroit cop who was shot in the head by a 16 year old thug he thought he was taking home. Yeah, nail the thug, nail him now.

Coordinator: Crucifixion?
Mr. Cheeky: Ah, no. Freedom.
Coordinator: What?
Mr. Cheeky: Eh, freedom for me. They said I hadn’t done anything, so I can go and live on an island somewhere.
Coordinator: Oh I say, that’s very nice. Well, off you go then.
Mr. Cheeky: No, I’m just pulling your leg, it’s crucifixion really!
Coordinator: [laughing] Oh, I see, very good. Well...
Mr. Cheeky: Yes I know, out the door, one cross each, line on the left.

How tragic. I assume the police officer had family and what a horrible thing to have happen at any time of the year, but this will be hard from now on.

I hope the justice system is sufficient to remove the 16 year-old from any further liberty to make a mistake. In our close to home situation, we knew both the officer and the killer. The killer was 16 or 17 and he will be facing a lethal injection.

My first point would be to take heart that the western world tends to do nothing, right up to the point that doing nothing is no longer an option. Then it goes berserk.

My second point would be that we don't need to count on anyone else. Each of us can personally commit to bringing Hell to these people, individually, personally, and inevitably. The rest of the planet's cooperation be damned. Lead, follow, or get out of the way, but *I* am going through regardless.

Hear, hear! I applaud your courage and Churchillian bravado. When Sir Winston's daughter-in-law asked him what a poor girl such as herself could do if overrun by the Germans, he replied, “Well, you can run to the kitchen and grab a butcher knife and take one with you as you go.”

Yes indeed. It is a bloody awful place to have to come to mentally, especially when one's entire life has been lived in, around, and through peaceful interaction with his fellow man in civilized western society. But we are facing *things* that look human, but are not. They walk and talk and drive cars like us, but they have nothing we would consider a "soul" to appeal to on issues of mercy, or empathy, or decency. And these homo-scorpions will torture us to death, tear our children apart limb from limb for sport, and throw humanity back to a reptilian existence if they are not completely eliminated, their infant progeny sterilized, and the culture utterly erased from the mind of Man.

I regret having to interact with other beings, let alone people, on this level, but I did not choose this fight nor these means. They did. And by God, I am committed to the harvest, because as they have sewn, so shall they reap.

I'm just musing out loud, but when I was younger and very much engaged in daily bible study, the part I had the MOST difficulty with was the old testament wherein God instructed the Israelites to kill every living inhabitant — men, women and children down to the chickens, goats and sheep. I could not accept the God of Love I knew so personally and intimately could have asked such a thing of anyone. I'm serious that it grieved me DEEPLY. I had to consciously refuse to think of those scriptures and threw myself the sop that there were some things beyond my ability to know.

I'd like to make a public apology to Him today. I get it now. I really get it. I'm sorry I had such uncharitable thoughts toward His request.
