Black Jack Pershing threatened to bury Moslems in pigs with graves... It worked. If a people are incapable of reason they must be dealt with by force.

..... the British were confronted not with a chivalrous opponent playing the game according to the rules, but with gangsters and murderers.

Some things never change, eh?

In fact, they are descriptions from official British documents concerning the methods used by the British authorities to combat Palestinian Arab terrorism in Jenin and elsewhere in 1938.

What would you say if Germany condemned terrorist acts against the Jews by the Palistinians, and the Palistiniasns responded by bringing up how Germany treated Jews in 1938?

We cannot ignore the support we have gotten from Tony Blair, at great political cost to himself.

Well, as Lord Dufferin remarked: "British lives are being lost and I don't think that we, from the security of Whitehall, can protest squeamishly about measures taken by the men in the frontline."

Agreed.

There were many differences between British policy in the 1930s and Israeli policy today, but one stands out - the British, faced with a level of Palestinian Arab terrorism considerably less lethal than that which Israel faces today, utilized anti-terror methods considerably harsher than those used by Israeli forces.

It didn't work for the Brits - why should it work for the Israelis?

"In addition, eyeballs were gouged out and replaced with testicles with soldiers own penises stuffed into the their mouths."

And they did exactly that to the Jewish defenders of the Etzion Block in 1948.

I can't describe what they did the the women but you can imagine.

Must be SOP for Muslims

It appears that you miss the point, or hope we will. The point being that Jews in Germany were not the savages these Jenin "victims" were then or now.

BTTT. The Israeli's are the most chivalrous, patient people on the earth for not eradicating the Pali's. Their own aversion to being tarred with accusations of genocide is being used against them...Their response...risk their soldiers lives(and lose some) in house to house hellfighting to save every noncombatant Pali they can identify...

I salute the IDF. No sleep for terrorists...ever.

Because for the Israelis, this is their home. The Brits were just trying to save their asses and let someone else deal with the problem. Israel has nowhere else to go. So... if needed, they will simply pull their "MASADA" complex out and turn the entire place into a radioactive wasteland... only it won't be only Palestine... it will also include Jordan, Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, and any other piece of sh** dictatorship within 2000 miles.

And if they are smart, they will also include most of the EU contingent of sorry ass licking "states". So, you can see that after this treatment, there won't be anyone left to rewrite the history of the great Arab victory over the Jews. And there the problem will end.

Sounds like you know your history. I wasn't aware of this. Where was the Erzion Block? and 1948? So this was after Israel had been established? Reminds of that picture of the man hanging upside down in Ramallah, i think; one of the pictures showed his stomach being mutilated - apparently after he was dead.

Etzion Block was a group of 4 settlements halfway between Jerusalem and Hebron. Over-run by the Arabs during the '48 War of Independence all the civilians were killed after they surrendered.

You saw what the Pali's did to one of their own accused of collaborating so you can imagine what they did to the Jewish men and women they captured. Believe me, I would rather kill myself than fall into the hands of these animals.
