Israel should bomb Gaza quickly to stop infighting
Fadi Abu Sada
Israel poising to respond on Eilat attack, it could be by the aerial bombardment and artillery, or perhaps they will try to assassinate Palestinian resistance leaders, what a ironically, we really want that to happen quickly, it might be the only solution to stop the bloody fighting between brothers in the Gaza Strip.
They said that the shedding of Palestinian blood is a red line, which has happened to them, the Red waldem become everywhere in the streets, hospitals and houses of Gaza, what remains of taboos that they talked about!.
No Palestinian faction, and no one seems to be now able to mediate between fighters, and stop the bloodshed, either Arabs and their calls on the parties to meet in the country, and it does not seem that anyone actually will respond to that, despite the welcome media practitioners.
It’s defective to reach Such thinking, to call Israel to stop this shameful chapter in the chapters of the Palestinian case, if there is case still after all that has already happened and is happening.
But if this is the only option, there is no problem in this, if this will remind the fighters for a moment that the occupation is still perched on us, because it seems to be lost on their chest.
Publicly, we believe that Israel has already bombed the Strip, some of the weapons and missiles, which we use against each other, not used ever against the occupation and its mechanisms.
We can no longer regret anything, what is happening already killed every emotion, we will not regret if we got more pain, and if Israel attack houses in Gaza and attempted to target the leaders of the Palestinian resistance, that this would be the only solution to stop the fighting.
The great tragedy would be that Israel did not do what we hope, I do not know where cycle of blood and revenge ongoing will lead us, no one even responded to the appeals of citizens to go down to the streets in an attempt to stop the bloodshed, and this confirms the loss of the sense of anything.
If the matter was my decision, I called for the elite and dignitaries that leap and stop what is happening, but it seems more evident now that there dignitaries originally, because if they are found, they certainly will stand idly by what is happening.
No many options left: Either do same as what happened in Eilat, either go to hell, or leaving the country with shame of what’s happening.
im a Palestinian guy who deeply love this land, and wanted to share my thoughts with all people around the world, as i believe that every single one could do something for Palestine.
The English is fractured and imperfect but the message of this article sounds as clear as a bell. It paints a picture of desperation, despair and near-resignation, that most of us could never bear to witness, let alone experience. Perhaps that’s why the western media only give brief coverage to the topic, to protect us from the horror so that we may sleep at night.
This is sad, very sad. Your so-called ‘leaders’ have had many opportunities to tackle the terrorists amongst you, but instead they’ve promoted their activities to attack Israel.
Now, of course, they are uncontrollable. That’s what happens when you turn humans into monsters through propaganda.
If Israel put down it’s arms it would cease to exist; if the PLO Arabs put down their arms there would be peace. All too simple really.
I’m not sure your answer that Israel should bomb the strip is right or humane; the result would be the terrorists would then turn their focus away from each other and back onto Israel. Oh, silly me, that was the point…
Your suggestion that Israel bomb Gaza to stop Hamas and Fatah from fighting reminds me of Elizar, commander of the Zealots who refused to surrender to the Romans at Masada. Elizar told the Roman general besieging the Jews — the same general who had ordered the destruction of the Temple and put as many Jews in Jerusalem as could be found put to the sword — that if the Romans truly wanted to defeat the Jews he should do himself a favor and go back to Rome because then the Jews would fight with one another. (Of course the Romans refused to leave, and the Jews of Masada killed themselves rather than be enslaved by the Romans.) But the Romans never were able to kill all the Jews; many remained in Israel, many wandered far away; my ancestors were in both groups, those who stayed and those who left.
It is tragic that you believe — correctly — that only an attack by the Israelis would unite Palestinians in the strip. And unfortunately Chrisse’s comments are true. But the fact that both your and her analysis of the situation is true TODAY does not mean that these things must be true forever. Believe me, the Israelis sincerely want peace. But we are no longer suicidal. The Palestinian people deserve better leaders than they have had for the last 50 years, and you, and people like you who want a good life, embracing life rather than death, must demand and support leaders who love their children — and their people — more than they hate us. Perhaps I am a fool, but I believe that the Palestinians and Israelis, if we cooperated on economic projects, water and agricultural projects and building futures for our children as fiercely and determinedly as we have opposed one another,could make the rest of the world envy the resulting peace and prosperity.
One of the Al Quaeda fundamentalist terrorists told the United States that Al Quaeda would prevail because the Muslims embrace death but Americans cherished life. He could be right about that, but only if all Muslims want to return to the medieval theological dictates and divisions that keep women in bondage and Sunnis and Shiias at each other’s throats.
When the fanatic Almoravids conquered Cordoba in the ninth century and burnt all the books, the great Arab philosopher Ibn Rush’d (whose father was the first imam of the Great Mosque of Cordoba), looked at the flames over his shoulder as he fled to Morocco and said “There is no tyranny like the tyranny of priests.” This remains true today, whether the “priests” are fanatical Christians or Muslims or hyper-Orthodox Jews. Ibn Rush’d later helped the Jewish sage and physician Maimonides (also driven from Cordoba) survive in Morocco. There the Palestinian El Fadil, grand vizier to the great Kurdish warrior Salah-ah-din, brought Maimonides in as the chief court physician, and Maimonides remained loyal to Saladin the rest of his days. After Saladin’s death, Maimonides advised Saladin’s sons concerning their health as well as the court intrigues they faced as young kings. Our histories as friends is much longer than that as foes, and as friends we shared and held the Holy Land. This can be done again, but only if both sides want to badly enough. Salaam aleikum.

What you said about Maimonides was interesting, but does he ever record it in any of his writings, or at least parts of it? That would be interesting to find out. I’m a yeshiva right now so I’ll see if I can do that.

I am glad to see Palestinian scum get what they deserve. By their own hands. The hatred they have nurtured for us has now consumed them, both within (in their hearts) and without (from each other).
Palestinians have the leaders they deserve. Or maybe even better than they deserve.
The only peace they want is our blood. In Ramallah, they did not just kill the two Israelis, they disemboweled them and ran around the town with their hearts and entrails. They bring children into this world with the goal of killing us. Even Nazis didn’t do that!
Jean, you are a fool.
We Jews are guilty too, but not of what we are accused. We are guilty of endless peace efforts, of sincerely desiring peace and forgiving and forgiving and forgiving. Of wishful thinking that if we say “Peace” often enough, it will miraculously arrive, and if we say “You are not our enemy” often enough we can turn enemy into a friend. Of treating the enemy not according to the weakness of their murderous character, but according to the way we would like to be treated. Of absorbing all goodness to ourselves and leaving Palestinians with our shadow on top of their own. Of giving way to our own internal divisions, demonizing “settlers” and putting down Mizrahi Jews (who speak Arabic and could teach the rest of us a lesson or two).
Things that are true today might not be true forever. But as long as we keep these our attitudes, the enemy will keep theirs. If we want them to become more like us, we have to become more like them. It’s harsh, cruel, callous, very painful. But such is life.
