Oh Israel, Stained with Blood
Posted by Nathan in Ramblings, tags: Christian, Gaza, Israel, Palestinian, SecurityA lot can be said about the recent events in our Jewish homeland. I feel a mixture of rage and pride for my people and a land I love.
Rage at the quick trigger of the UN Security Council to condemn Israel for trying to protect her self from Gaza rockets, but the failure to condemn this attack. Rage that Palestinians throw a party.
Rage that we are compared to Nazi’s, making our own Holocaust in Gaza. Do you ever read a fucking history book? When were we lobbing rockets at Germans all day? There is no question the Holocaust was a simple case of Christian based hatred for Jews. You always hate the ones that hold the secret to your lies. More pathetic is the use of this term, which is loaded and used with a particular kind of double sided hate; as it undermines the power of the term and simultaneously enrages Jews.
Rage at the restraint of Israel. If you are going to be damned either way, just level the place. Push them into the ocean.
Rage that no matter what concessions we give, we lose.
Pride that my people will bounce back and not let this slow the only democratic nation in the region. A nation which is not perfect, but affords the Arab citizens a hell of a lot more latitude than the other way around.
Pride that this is the first attack since 2004 and it vindicates the security fence.
Pride at the restraint of Israel. We are not barbarians, we calculate and surgically strike.
Pride that when Israel does respond it will matter.
Pride that our heritage helps us understand this battle:
A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into Thine inheritance; they have defiled Thy holy temple; they have made Jerusalem into heaps.
2 They have given the dead bodies of Thy servants to be food unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of Thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.
3 They have shed their blood like water round about Jerusalem, with none to bury them.

Why do you lump all Christians together? There are some of us who would defend Israel against our own country.
