Arutz Sheva ^ | 15/10/15 | Cynthia Blank

Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon slammed the United States on Thursday after a State Department spokesperson accused Israel of using "excessive force" when subduing Arab terrorists.

While addressing ongoing Arab terror in Israel on Wednesday, State Department spokesman John Kirby asserted that "without qualifying each and every one of them, we’ve certainly seen some reports of security activity that could indicate the potential use of excessive force."

In an interview with Army Radio, Yaalon blasted Kirby's contention, calling it utter nonsense.

"We are using excessive force?" the Defense Minister asked incredulously. "If someone is wielding a knife and killing people, [then our response is considered] excessive force? What are we talking about here? This is nonsense."

Link to A7 properly posted in the dialogue box, I will get no thanks from any dragons. So it's time for a little spontaneous verse.

The onus is on you.
It's up to you to do.
To read the perp his rights,
While he just wields a knife.

The onus is on you
(Not because you're a Joooo!)
But because you brought a gun
To a knife altercaaation!

The people in our state department are a bunch of jackasses. The Israeli people should use MORE force when dealing with the islamic savages.

One thing I admire about the Israelis is that they won't play PC games. The call a spade a spade. The Defense Minister is right.

If the moslem is still alive, then sufficient force has still not been used.

“Excessive force” in this instance is a meaningless term. Is it excessive when the next of kin (who should also be killed) can no longer recognize the body? Why should we care as long as the terrorist is dead?

When five innocent Israelis are stabbed to death by Palestinian maniacs, it’s called an Intifada.

When five innocent people in Chicago are killed by gun-wielding maniacs, it’s called a normal weekend.

If the Mayor of Chicago had the same courage to fight back as the Prime Minister of Israel has, Chicago would be a livable city again where black lives actually matter instead of being a mere slogan.

Instead of excoriating Bibi Netanyahu for protecting his people, the world should be excoriating Rahm Emanuel for NOT protecting HIS people.

the Russians are teaching the lessons and teaching them well.

To win a war, one must kill the enemy. To declare wives and sisters and mothers innocent based on gender alone when they aid and abet the war, is foolish at best and dangerous in the long run

wars are won by killing the enemy. if the enemy hides in houses, the houses must be destroyed, complete with the residents

the palestinian problem persists simply because palestinians persist. Dead palis don’t kill.

The soldiers/police are enjoined to ask politely for the arabs to please not swing their knives around as they might hurt someone accidentally.
