There is no "Cycle" of violence

[Lebesgue]

It seems many get accused of attacking others when they are only trying to defend themselves, How much longer will this world be upside-down?

The Jewish people in Israel are only defending themselves in a land that G-d gave them the right to live in. IF they Palestianians would leave them alone, the Jewish people would not kill anyone. They HAVE to defend themselves and I don't blame them one bit.

I support the right of the Jewish people to live in Israel to the point that I would even give my life for that if it came to that.
I have eretz Y'israel to the point I would lay my life down for the Jewish people if it ever came to that.

G-d Bless.

Shalom,


Lebesgue

The media often report on a never-ending cycle of violence in the Middle East. But there is no comparison between terrorist attacks and Israel's attempts to defend herself.

Palestinian rocket crew hits Israeli nursery

Friday, March 28, 2008 by Staff Writer

A rocket fired by Gaza-based Palestinian terrorists landed in the yard of a day care center for one- and two-year-old children in a small community in southern Israel on Friday, causing damage but, miraculously, no injuries.
The children were outside playing in the yard when local warning sirens sounded. Caregivers rushed the children into the nursery's bomb shelter just moments before the rocket struck.
Palestinian forces fired at least three more rockets and two mortars shells at other Jewish communities in the area.
Senior Palestinian Authority officials told Ha'aretz this week that Hamas operatives who recently traveled to Iran for training have returned to the Gaza Strip armed with plans and blueprints for the development of locally-produced rockets with increased range, more explosive power and greater accuracy.
In other Gaza violence, a Hamas gunman was killed after engaging Israeli troops along the Gaza security fence early Friday morning.

Whenever you see the term "cycle of violence," that's bias. It is a misleading and inaccurate way to describe Israel being attacked by rockets and terror on a daily basis. These attacks are directed against civilian areas: homes, offices, and schools.
By contrast Israeli military operations are designed to stop terror while minimizing risk to civilians. Civilian casualties occur because rocket launching squads and terrorist leaders hide within civilian areas, a blatant violation of human rights which is rarely mentioned by the media.

The JPost (http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1205420751207&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull) reports:

In a news item on March 7, following the Mercaz Harav Yeshiva attack, the BBC showed a bulldozer demolishing a house, while correspondent Nick Miles told viewers: "Hours after the attack, Israeli bulldozers destroyed his family home. Later, mourners set up Hamas and Islamic Jihad banners nearby."
The house, however, was not demolished; the BBC was embarrassed when news reports from other broadcasters showed the east Jerusalem home intact and the family commemorating their son's actions.
Last week, the BBC apologized live on its news program, admitting it had used footage of another house being demolished.
