The Storm before the Calm..

What an eloquent testimony to the murderous logic of war and destruction practiced by the Israeli Demolition Forces. Fourty-eight hours before the agreed upon cessation of hostilities and the israelis unleash their widest and wildest military effort to date, with the sole purpose of destroying as much as they possibly can before they temporarily muffle their guns and let the dust settle over the dead bodies of the South.

I wonder what kind of ill-conceived and ill-expressed justifications the rabid israeli supporters have in store to defend themselves and their actions. For that's what the poor souls of Tel-Aviv have spent most of their affected existences doing, defend themselves against the unmeasured aggression of the Arab Beast. The Arab beast who, like myself, naively believes that when a cease-fire is accepted by willing parties, it is to be implemented IMMEDIATELY, because there are hundreds of thousands of people in dire need for help and humanitarian aid. This, however, is only true of nations that respect human life and attend to human suffering. The Israeli government and its sympathizers are of course innocent of such accusations. For THEY are the only ones who die, THEY are the only ones who suffer, THEY are the only ones constantly on the defensive against widespread antisemitism, and THEY are the perpetual scapegoats of humanity, constantly trying to proclaim their right to exist with freedom and peace in their land, the land of figs and olives, the land of prophets and blood.

One has to admit, though, that being God's chosen people is not an easy feat, in a world rampant with angry envious non-chosens who seek to steal the chosen's heavenly title and promised land.
