For a second straight day, Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip took a much-needed pounding from Israeli forces. The terrorist organization's main security compound was among the marks that took a heavy beating from Israeli war planes.
The campaign by Israel is retaliatory - a more-than-appropriate response to daily rocket and mortar attacks launched by Palestinian "militants" after a truce between the two sides expired last week.
To no one's great surprise, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) condemned the Israeli operation.
Their statement, in part, read:
"Despite the public 'green light' given to the Israeli military by the Bush administration, American Muslims join our fellow citizens who respect international law and the sanctity of human life in repudiating this massacre carried out using U.S. taxpayer-funded weapons.
"It must be clear by now that the only future offered to the Palestinian people by the outgoing administration was one of perpetual subjugation and humiliation at the hands of the Israeli occupiers. Unfortunately, our nation's timid response to this tragic episode will only serve to fuel anti-American sentiments in the Muslim world.
"We therefore call on President-elect Obama to demonstrate his commitment to change our nation's current one-sided Mideast policy by speaking out now in favor of peace and justice for all parties to this decades-long conflict.
"We also call on world leaders to take direct action to end Israel's counterproductive and wildly disproportionate attacks and to end the humanitarian siege of Gaza, which led to the recent breakdown of the ceasefire."
First, the 'green light' was lit by Hamas with their daily barrage of rockets into Israel.
Second, the phrase "disproportionate attacks" is a laugher. You don't provoke a lion with constant harassment and then express outrage at the volume of his roar when he's had enough.
Third, as far as "international law" and the "sanctity of human life" is concerned ... there is a general guideline for Americans to follow here.
If the rest of the world supports something or takes a certain position, go with the opposite.
It's a good rule of thumb.
-
CAIR can kiss my 100% All-American ass.
We should use taxpayer dollars to strike CAIR and their supporters’ positions throughout the United States and eliminate this scourge from our shores. Period.
Well stune my beeber! Is this to say that Cair doesn’t love Israel and the United States? “Shazam” as Gomer Pyle would say.
This kind of nonsense of Israel protecting itself will end on January 20.
I really need to know the "conservative" republican position before I can make any kind of educated statement.
[end sarc]
Or, I could just demand that someone grease them all, in Gaza and in DC.
I am shocked i tella ya..
This i did not expect..
Sarcacm off/....
Title should be revised to “US Branch of Islamic Brotherhood demands Israel stop retaliating against Gaza branch.”
I agree! Finally our taxpayer dollars going to something useful.
And THAT'S the crux of the matter.
God decreed Israel would be the progenitor of choice and Ishmael created many gods to usurp God's authority ... the latest being Allah.
Cair is just an 'official' arm of Ishmael's anger and hatred for God.
Dagon went on his face and Allah will also.
But Israel will suffer for their rejection of Jeshua.
disproportionate... IMHO, Israel hasn't even STARTED. Counterproductive would be ISRAEL STOPPING before there's only 3 of you ISLAMIC MONSTERS are still ALIVE. Consider yourself fortunate.
All this because Abraham and Sarah did not trust God.
We support Israel, CAIR ? we don’t give a rat’s ass what you say..... The God of Israel RULES !!
Doom on You,NO CAIR bears, hunting season is year round, you wanna help start taggin and baggin’or scram.
