Having stopped for gasoline Saturday evening (after taking out another mortgage to finance the fuel and groceries), while forking over my ‘franklins’ I heard a female BBC newsperson battering an Israeli official about the deaths of some “Palestinians” in Gaza. The poor fellow was sputtering, backing up, straining for justifications which could not come because he stayed within the corral of leftist categories of thought and ‘peace process’ slogans which sandbag Israel every time. He painted himself into a corner much as the badly-led state has done for decades.Â

As I listened to the nasty and predictable exchange I thought, ‘rubbish and damnation! No need to apologize to anyone, least of all a Brit when discussing collateral damage during war,’ and war is what jihadists have been doing to Jews for six years, shooting rockets within the borders of pre-1967 Israel.Â

(Actually, the war – jihad– is approaching fourteen centuries but let’s stick to the narrow definition for now. And the simple answer to it is milchemet mitzvah, but in this piece we will limit ourselves to the language of the nations).Â

No need to review the evidence that the so-called ‘Palestinians” are a hostile population that plots to murder Jews in Israel (and elsewhere) and frequently asserts its intention of annihilating it. Indeed the replacement of Israel with an Islamic state is the published goal of both Fatah and Hamas. (Remember when Fatah was denoted the military wing of Arafat’s PLO? Now it’s been re-named as the moderate alternative). In any case, all these assertions of annihilating Israel are declarations of war and during war a hostile population is subject to attack; their death, whether unintended or targeted is part of the rules.Â

People who style themselves humanitarians may say that this is cruel: they tend to forget about those initially attacked, or targeted for attack in future, especially when they are Jews. The larger point is that if you don’t want to get killed, don’t war on other people. Don’t shoot rockets across the border into their towns; don’t kidnap and murder their children; don’t bomb seders on Pesach; don’t send homicide bombers into their eating places and busses. Even Jews eventually strike back and defend themselves, although the “world community,” cloistered in Manhattan frequently considers motions to withdraw from them this ‘right.’Â

If the world community and the jihadists and bankers that constitute and control it were a little less eager to exterminate Jews the regime in Jerusalem might help them make it a virtual reality: that after all is their job. But the bloodlust of both the jihadists and western diplomats makes them stumble over their shoes, repeatedly. So the grand game gets dragged out.Â

Given the restrictions under which the entire IDF operates when striking back against Arabs (thanks to eight decades of Labor ‘Zionism’ and their suicidal principle of havlaga, Jewish self-restraint), and given initial studies from the field, those much-ballyhooed deaths on July 08 were not the result of IAF weaponry. Too bad; and this is what anyone should tell the BBC or other regurgitators of the official ‘truth.’ Too bad, just consider…Â

DRESDEN: It’s March 1945 and Dresden is a scarcely fortified city in east-central Germany a few weeks before the end of the war in Europe. The British decided it was time for payback for the blitz of 1940 which was so helpful to Churchill in strengthening the British will to fight and win (it was not there before the war). So they fire-bombed Dresden and basically melted it, slaughtering about 200,000 civilians. Marshal of the RAF at that time, Sir Arthur T. ‘Bomber’ Harris was a tireless exponent of “strategic area bombingâ€? (including mass civilian deaths) to defeat an enemy. The British idea of an apology for this tactic was to build a statue to Harris in 1992 on the centenary of his birth. When German politicians voiced criticisms, the British told them to stuff it.Â

Tell that to the BBC and Jack Straw: end of story.Â

Moreover, the British government and its institutions were major accomplices of the Germans in effecting the ‘final solution’ to the Jewish problem. From 1920 -48 the dominant groups in the British Foreign Office and eventually the media and military totally perverted their League of Nations Mandate to re-establish the Jewish national home and facilitate Jewish immigration into it. Instead, with the war looming and abundant testimony, inter alia, from the Peel Commission about the slaughter impending for the Jews by 1939 the British finished re-defining Jewish immigration to Eretz Israel as “illegalâ€? while facilitating immigration of the Arabs that by the 1960s began to be called the “Palestinians.â€? Yes, the British to this day can’t get their fill of creating new Islamic nations to stir the pot of global jihad. Their institutions including the BBC still want to ‘solve’ the new world order’s ‘Jewish problem’ and have enlisted America and the “peace processesâ€? to finish the job.Â

While the British were facilitating, in many ways the German mass murder of Jews of Europe, they also, in tandem with the USAF spent the last two – plus years of the War bombing Germany 24/7, nonstop. About the only sites they failed to bomb were extermination centers and crematoria like those at Auschwitz even though they bombed extensively in Silesia including within the boundaries of Auschwitz itself. So the British bombed civilian populations daily for years during WW II even though the Germans had no intentions of exterminating the British as the Muslims have for exterminating the Jews, — read it in their sermons, speeches or Koran.Â

So the British are on very thin ice when criticizing Israel for any attack, of any magnitude retaliating for Arab assaults on Jews. It’s calculated hypocrisy that distracts from the historical record of British complicity in the shoah… and distracts from what they’re trying to do to Jews in Israel now.Â

The best answer to all such criticism from the “world community” is to unleash the IAF, protect the lives of Jewish soldiers, and to obliterate the hostile population in Gaza and in their terror-haven cities in Judea and Samaria. This would bring peace, about the last thing the silk hats or jihadists want. After all, you can’t manage (and milk) a crisis unless you’ve got a crisis to manage.Â

And furthermore in regard to British hypocrisy about Israel’s response to hostile populations:Â

A check of the consensus mainstream opinions about the practice of strategic (not accidental) bombing of hostile populations and their infrastructure reveals that Israel indeed, after six years of absorbing rocket attacks north and south and suffering repeated mass murder of its civilians should change course and employ wide-ranging area bombing of hostile populations centers, utilities, etc. This would align it with mainstream views on area bombing.Â

Here is what Wikipedia, the generic internet reflection of received opinion has to say about RAF Commander, Marshal Sir Arthur Travers “Bomber” Harris, architect, advocate and commander in chief of the massive ‘carpet bombing’ of Germany during the last two years (two years!) of World War II:Â

“Harris’ preference for strategic area bombing over strategic precision bombing remains controversial during the last year of the war [presumably it was not controversial — in the official view – during the first half of 1944, the peak production time of Auschwitz] because by this time most Allied commanders thought it less effective than precision bombing…”Â

So, the primary reason for criticism of “carpet bombing” of hostile cities was that, “by the last year of the war it was less effective,â€? not more cruel than “precision bombing.” To continue:Â

“Others were critical about the large number of [resulting] civilian casualtiesâ€? [but not so critical as to stop the tactic].Â

Here’s the clinching point for unleashing the IAF:Â

“Nevertheless, in a conflict where attacks on civilian targets had not only been initiated by the enemy but also a largely acceptable aspect of total war [interesting judgment], this strategy was coherent and certainly dealt great damage to the axis.”Â

So, despite qualms about the degree of effectiveness or pleasantness of carpet bombing it is a “coherent” strategy that “dealt great damage” to the enemy, the last but not least conclusion of the entry.Â

Israel and Israelis listen up: the jihadist enemy initiated slaughter of Jews almost fourteen centuries ago and has accelerated that practice in recent decades, adding ever more refined and damaging technology to the murder of Jewish civilians. Contemporary political rhetoric and apologetics are irrelevant and distractions for, as just noted, murders, both wholesale and local of Jews by Muslims long predated the founding of Israel. Therefore, in the course of this interminable war of annihilation (dwarfing the minuscule duration of WW II), carpet bombing of the hostile enemy population and everything it has is a “coherent” and “largely acceptable” practice that “certainly [will] deal great damage” to the jihadists. It could thus save the West from its own elites…Â

IAF, bombs away, and tell the British the strategy of Sir Arthur Harris is your inspiration, that and national survival which Britain could not plead from 1943 -45 when their survival was not in doubt. By the way, the British put up the statue to Harris in the Strand near St. Clement Dane’s Church, in 1992, the year the Manchurian, that is, the Oslo candidates were elected to finish off the Brits job…. It continues to this day.Â
