This started out as a short answer to commenter Steve on Chaim’s last post: Defending Hamas. Originally my comment would have taken up about ten lines but ever since Chaim himself answered Steve and wondered if he was merely a shill for CAIR as did various other commenters who suspected the same, as they waded through Steve’s language and all too obvious prejudices, this blog became unstable. Since Thursday and until a short while ago, our blog kept on appearing and disappearing from cyberspace. Even as it reappeared we could not get into the admin area to post. Although commenters could still, at various times, add their comments.

Our ISP traced the attacks to three IP numbers originating in Washington, DC. and apparently belonging to a national organization, an organization that is an unindicted co-conspirator in an ongoing trial of a Hamas fund raising, terrorist linked organization. In view of such a hacker’s attack, in view of this blatant attempt to harass and silence us, I cannot limit myself to merely responding to a venomous, uninformed, truth obfuscating, revisionist comment.  Nay, I feel forced to expand my ten lines into a full denunciation of the lies, revisionism and pure unadulterated inventions.

As I’ve said before here and in other places, I am a French lawyer of Muslim Morrocan descent. As an attorney my job is to pursue justice, to defend those who cannot defend themselves, to provide legal services for the poor and for new immigrants to France. What I love about my job is the opportunity to move heaven and earth to ensure my clients get what they justly deserve according to French law. I despise lies (yes, I know that is extremely rare for a law practitioner), I hate revisionism, I am repulsed by those who choose to change the facts as they really happened in favor of a more personally favorable but totally untruthful version. I have that passion for truth not just in my chosen profession, I try to follow it in every facet of my life whether it’s at work, whether it is historical truth, or whether I watch the news being distorted.

So, let me posit a few facts, let me dispel the myths propagated by those whose agenda it is to substitute history and current events with a very “nuanced” version that bears no resemblance to the actual events as they unfold. On Saturday, the 27th of December, Israel attacked Hamas’ strongholds in Gaza. Though Hamas kind of expected an Israeli response to its over 8000 rocket and mortar attacks (as the sworn enemy of Israel refused to renew the cease fire) on the neighboring Israeli cities, they did not believe the attacks would happen before Israel’s Ministerial Cabinet meeting on Sunday. In the first round, the Israelis bombed a graduation ceremony of Hamas “policemen” (read: trained TERORRISTS! Those killed were to join the elite forces that terrorize Gaza’s population while shooting rockets at Israel). Many throughout the world immediately screamed, “Disproportionate response, disproportionate response!” Was it disprotortionate?!?!? Israel, like any sovereign country has the absolute obligation of defending those who live within its borders. Eight thousand rocket and mortar attacks were launched from Gaza with nary a whimper by Israel’s government despite the terror, the population of Sderot and neighboring communities lived under.

In the summer of 2006, Hamas – in order to distract Israel from the Lebanese front – kidnapped Corporal Gilad Schalit. Although according to the cease fire agreement Schallit was to be freed unconditionally, this did not happen. Instead over the next two and a half years, Israel kept releasing more and more incarcerated terrorists without any reciprocity from Fatah or Hamas… Israel has not had any presence in Gaza since 2005 when the Jewish garden communities there were completely evacuated by the Israeli Army. Rather than take over the fertile fields, the flower beds and manufacturing plants that used to bring in over $100,000,000.00 a year and aid the local economy, Hamas did not bother with such. Instead of keeping the jobs of Gazans formerly employed by dem Jooz and adding many more jobs that might have relieved some of the poverty and restores the pride of families under their control, Hamas plundered and destroyed the former Jooz communities. They reduced everything to rubble and used it to reinforce underground bunkers. The bunkers were not meant to improve the average Gazan’s plight, the bunkers do nothing for the general welfare of the man or woman on the street. They are merely meant to serve as headquarters from which IslamoFascist Hamas can plan further terror upon the Zionist Entity, further ignoring their own conbstituents needs, while raking in foreign aid to line the pockets of their elite.

“Disproportionate Response!” was the universal cry of the western left. Disproportionate response?!?!? During World War II, for example, the British RAF (Royal Air Force) and the America’s USAAF (United States Army Air Force) carpet bombed 13 square miles within the German city of Dresden killing between 25000 to 40000 men, women and children. This was done, among other things, in retaliation for Germany’s bombings of London with their mostly ineffective but terror causing V1 bombs (an early form of cruise missile). What about America’s bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki? That killed as many as 220,000 men, women and children? Ruthless? Yes! Dispropotionate? At first thought one might be tempted to answer an unequivocal YES, VERY DISPROPORTIONATE! But, think about it… both events together put a stop to WWII, a war that had already claimed 50,000,000 dead! Had these drastic measures not been taken there would have been further years of bloodshed and countless more million of dead!

Meanwhile over here in Eurabia, leftist idiots led by moronic politicians are calling for an intifada against Israel:

As Chaim, commented on Facebook about these mindless useful idiots:

“Intifada” is precisely what brought on the current fight against Hamas. If the Honorable MP would just drop his anti Jewish prejudice, if he could just open his eyes, his ears and use whatever intellect he may possess, he would realize that “Intifada” has not worked to advance in the least bit the plight of the average “Palestinian.”

Obviously then, in spite of his protestations to the contrary, the Honorable MP is not really interested in the welfare of the average Gazan, but rather in wiping Israel off the map… in killing every Jew…

It is interesting that very same politicians and sheeple who want Israel to make further and further gestures, the same politicians who are so peace loving as to cry for every murderous member of Hamas never shed a tear, never made a mention of even one innocent Israeli ruthlessly murdered by terrorists. When there was an horrible attack on innocent high school students at Jerusalem’s Yeshivath Harav Kook, none of this fanatical peace lovers made a single noise in condemnation of the act, when using bulldozers here, here or here, to name only a few of the multiple civilian targeting terror acts in 2008. When the population of Sderot has to repeatedly endure the Kassam and new Iranian Grad missiles the same peace loving hypocrites obviously did not love peace enough!

You want the unadulterated truth about Israel in the current conflict? Charles Krauhamer writes in this past Friday’s Washington Post:

Late Saturday, thousands of Gazans received Arabic-language cell-phone messages from the Israeli military, urging them to leave homes where militants might have stashed weapons.

Some geopolitical conflicts are morally complicated. The Israel-Gaza war is not. It possesses a moral clarity not only rare but excruciating.

Israel is so scrupulous about civilian life that, risking the element of surprise, it contacts enemy noncombatants in advance to warn them of approaching danger. Hamas, which started this conflict with unrelenting rocket and mortar attacks on unarmed Israelis — 6,464 launched from Gaza in the past three years — deliberately places its weapons in and near the homes of its own people.

This has two purposes. First, counting on the moral scrupulousness of Israel, Hamas figures civilian proximity might help protect at least part of its arsenal. Second, knowing that Israelis have new precision weapons that may allow them to attack nonetheless, Hamas hopes that inevitable collateral damage — or, if it is really fortunate, an errant Israeli bomb — will kill large numbers of its own people for which, of course, the world will blame Israel.

For Hamas, the only thing more prized than dead Jews are dead Palestinians. The religion of Jew-murder and self-martyrdom is ubiquitous. And deeply perverse, such as the Hamas TV children’s program in which an adorable live-action Palestinian Mickey Mouse is beaten to death by an Israeli (then replaced by his more militant cousin, Nahoul the Bee, who vows to continue on Mickey’s path to martyrdom).

At war today in Gaza, one combatant is committed to causing the most civilian pain and suffering on both sides. The other combatant is committed to saving as many lives as possible — also on both sides. It’s a recurring theme. Israel gave similar warnings to Southern Lebanese villagers before attacking Hezbollah in the Lebanon war of 2006. The Israelis did this knowing it would lose for them the element of surprise and cost the lives of their own soldiers.

If you still harbor any illusions that Hamas wants peace or that it even cares about their own people, the article continues:

That is the asymmetry of means between Hamas and Israel. But there is equal clarity regarding the asymmetry of ends. Israel has but a single objective in Gaza — peace: the calm, open, normal relations it offered Gaza when it withdrew in 2005. Doing something never done by the Turkish, British, Egyptian and Jordanian rulers of Palestine, the Israelis gave the Palestinians their first sovereign territory ever in Gaza.

What ensued? This is not ancient history. Did the Palestinians begin building the state that is supposedly their great national aim? No. No roads, no industry, no courts, no civil society at all. The flourishing greenhouses that Israel left behind for the Palestinians were destroyed and abandoned. Instead, Gaza’s Iranian-sponsored rulers have devoted all their resources to turning it into a terror base — importing weapons, training terrorists, building tunnels with which to kidnap Israelis on the other side. And of course firing rockets unceasingly.

Most Arab politicians in the Middle East and many Arab publications, while fuming against Israel’s actions, have forcefully and unequivocally accused Hamas of provoking the Zionist Entity into the current war, but western apologists for Hamas do not see it that way. So what is Israel’s only option?

[...]Israel’s only response is to try to do what it failed to do after the Gaza withdrawal. The unpardonable strategic error of its architect, Ariel Sharon, was not the withdrawal itself but the failure to immediately establish a deterrence regime under which no violence would be tolerated after the removal of any and all Israeli presence — the ostensible justification for previous Palestinian attacks. Instead, Israel allowed unceasing rocket fire, implicitly acquiescing to a state of active war and indiscriminate terror.

Hamas’s rejection of an extension of its often-violated six-month cease-fire (during which the rockets never stopped, just were less frequent) gave Israel a rare opportunity to establish the norm it should have insisted upon three years ago: no rockets, no mortar fire, no kidnapping, no acts of war. As the U.S. government has officially stated: a sustainable and enduring cease-fire. If this fighting ends with anything less than that, Israel will have lost yet another war. The question is whether Israel still retains the nerve — and the moral self-assurance — to win.

Western politicians, in their greed, in their ambition to hold on their seats, will bow and kowtow to any interest that will perpetuate them in power. Even at the price of loosing Europe. What a farce, what disgusting self delusion… Who is the real criminal, the real hater, in this latest caper?

…two decades of appeals and admonitions having gone entirely unheeded, the global community must now grapple with the bloodthirsty, Jew-annihilationist aspirations of an unreformed Hamas, which, on its official website (posted December 31, 2008 at the site hosted by Emirnet, United Arab Emirates) urged Muslims to attack Jews across the world, making the ugly claim that,

…a Jewish adolescent boy in an Australian synagogue, a Jewish minister in the Georgian government, a Jewish businessman at the New York Stock Exchange, and an illiterate Jew from the Ethiopian desert… they all belong to the same gang and the same nation, apart from the rest of humanity.

Israel’s ongoing Operation Cast Lead is an eminently just and reasonable response to the unconscionable menace posed by a Hamas the rest of the world, ignores, appeases, or abets.

The cowardice of the hacker attack, the inescapable conclusion that these are totally unable to compete fairly in the arena of ideas, that they would rather resort to cyber-terror to destroy freedom of speech enrages me and forces me to make the following statement: As long as either Chaim or I have any breath left, we will continue to unmask those organizations whose aim is to aid and abet terror, we will continue writing in this blog despite hacker attempts to shut it down. If we are shut down we will speak through other forums, other friendly blogs and if either or both our voices be stilled there will be hundreds and even thousands of others who will pick up the cudgels and not rest until this unindicted co-conspirator, aider and financial enabler of terror, and others of that ilk cease to spread their lies and their revisionism as their tentacles are cut off one by one!
