A Comment from Unknown

So here's the deal - if you don't use your name, I consider you a coward. If you have the courage to write a comment with your name, it means you stand by it. When you don't, it means you are using (and abusing) the ability in social media to spout hatred without consequences, without responsibility.

I'd forgotten the ugly side of writing a blog. It's when they wish your sons pain or worse; it's when they say horrific things or link to utter nonsense. It's worse than spam - it's shows you to be as weak as the case you think you are making.

So the latest "Unknown" writes:

You are not sane. You are living in an alternative reality.

I do believe I am perfectly sane but that last sentence struck home. I am indeed living in an alternate reality. In his world (the cowardly Unknown), he sees black and white. Gaza is in ruins so Israel is to blame.

In his world (the cowardly Unknown), his argument starts on October 7. Hamas killed x number of people; since the time that Israel began to respond to the October 7 massacre, a larger number of dead people have turned up in Gaza. The simpleton concludes we are wrong.

Things the coward missed:

Among the dead are:

• Hundreds, if not thousands, killed by over 2,000 Palestinian-fired rockets that landed in Gaza, including the hospital that they attempted to blame on Israel (sucks having live pictures, huh?)
• Hundreds have been killed by Hamas operatives not wanting to allow innocent civilians to leave and/or being shot while the civilians attempted to access the humanitarian aid that was being hijacked by Hamas
• Thousands of the most-likely inflated Hamas numbers were armed combatants, terrorists and those that participated in the October 7 massacre
• Close to 200 at least are higher-up commanders of Hamas
• Hamas human shields
• Gazans who died in booby-trapped buildings...meaning buildings that Hamas booby-trapped

Another thing the cowardly Unknown refuses to consider

How many Israelis would have died if the 15,000 rockets (give or take) fired at Israel had hit their intended targets? The answer is thousands and Israeli cities would be in ruins as well. 

Why didn't those rockets hit? Not because of anything Gaza did, that's for user. Instead, while Hamas invested EU billions in building between 350-450 miles of tunnels. Instead of building bomb shelters for every home, Gaza built a few bunkers for their leaders. 

When Gaza rockets struck a home in Israel, from the rubble, almost every time the family emerged alive because of those bomb shelters. 

So, according to the warped minds of the United Nations and the Cowardly Unknown, the Hamas missiles of are no consequence. 

How many women were raped by Israelis in Gaza? The answer is zero. Literally zero.

How many babies were beheaded by Israelis in Gaza? The answer is zero. Literally zero.

International law states that if there is no way to protect civilians within a certain area during war, it is preferred to move the population out of the way. Israel did not actually move civilians. What we did was give them a chance to live while endangering our own soldiers. We alerted Hamas where we were going to hit, by telling civilians there to flee.

And in the incredibly warped minds of the International Court of Justice and the Cowardly Unknown, we are at once guilty of civilian deaths when they didn't evacuate, and guilty of evacuating those that did evacuate. 

In my reality, I guess an alternate reality to many in the world, we can only be guilty of one. If we are guilty of moving them, then don't blame us when they get slaughtered when we fire rockets at the arsenals, launching pads and training grounds Hamas built within their neighborhoods.

Or, if you want to blame us for the few civilians (comparatively) killed in those northern areas, credit us with saving over 800,000 lives by demanding they evacuate.

The ICJ ruled on Friday with an un-shocking, pretty much predetermined outcome. Ironically, in South Africa, land of corruption and crime, they are celebrating the "victory". If you concluded that a country was likely committing genocide, why would you celebrate? Is that their idea of victory?

For Israelis, the vote signaled yet another forgone conclusion delivered. We have no respect for the United Nations, the ICJ, and/or South Africa. And still, Israeli celebrated the vote because one of the absurd orders that South Africa demanded was that Israel be "ordered" to stop the fighting.

In the Unknown Cowards world, that is an acceptable demand. In our world, we cannot fathom the idiocy of demanding that ONE party in a war stop fighting when the other side is the one who started the war, has consistently targeted the civilian population of the other, and its leaders have continuously rejected any peace offering, broken every ceasefire, and admit freely and openly that their goal is the destruction of Israel.

So, in my "alternate" reality, Israel has no option but to fight. 

After the absurd International Court of Justice vote, part of me wanted to say to the Israeli army - yalla, they are accusing you of genocide, of bombing civilians - show them what that looks like. But I don't because that isn't Israel's way. There is, however, a fairly decent chance that Cowardly Unknown supports the Gaza massacre of innocent Jews and likely believes deeply that his friends in Gaza have the right to commit genocide.

How can I know what he believes, right? I mean, the only other cowards I can compare them to are the "men" who came into Israel on October 7 and raped women, murdered babies, and attacked sleeping soldiers...and when the awake soldiers came, they ran back across the border, dragging young children and elderly with them.

I guess it really does make sense that a coward would support cowards.
