Olmert: Hizbullah to learn the hard way
2006-07-27
In a visit of support to the north on Wednesday, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said that "the IDF operation won't last for months and, even if it lasts for longer than we planned, we'll know how to match the solution to the citizens."

"I don't intend on announcing an end to the operation. They (Hizbullah) will figure it out on their own, the hard way," he continued. Olmert met with 20 heads of local authorities in the north and spoke to them about their distress. "Our strength is what you give us and I hope that next year – if you invite me – I will be able to formally kick off the Klezmer Festival," added the prime minister.

Pursuant to difficult reports of the fighting in Bint Jbeil, Olmert toured in Safed and met the mayor, members of the local council, defense establishment representatives, and rescue forces. He also visited the Ziv Medical Center in the city, where several civilians and soldiers, wounded as a result of the current crisis, are hospitalized. Olmert spoke to various sources about activities, both military and civilian, being undertaken in the city to protect its residents. He also expressed support for Safed Mayor Yishai Maimon, stating that "this visit gives me spiritual strength."

"We are running a different kind of war than the wars in the past. It wasn't planned, but, two weeks in and during the fighting, the nation is trying to help, as best it can, those parts of the home front that have turned into a battlefront," he said.

#7  The latest war that has been imposed upon Israel by the Arab Muslim Nazi terrorists gives the Jewish state so many golden opportunities to do so many vital things. But the traitor Israeli government, army, news media, and establishment are predictably squandering every single one of these opportunities.

Immediately after the 1967 Six Day War, little Israel could have easily expelled all of the Arab Muslim Nazis who lived in the Holy Land.

The world was sympathetic to Israel as never before. The whole world witnessed the Arab Muslim Nazi dictators all publicly promising "to push the Jews into the sea" and "to finish Hitler's job."

When the tiny Jewish state, which then had a population of only 2.5 million Jews, beat back the Arab Muslim attackers, who came from nations that then had a combined population of 160 million, it was the ultimate reenactment of David versus Goliath.

Only 22 years after the Nazi Holocaust, when memories of what happened to over six million innocent Jews were still fresh, the Arab Muslim vow to carry out another Holocaust stunned the world.

The world bore witness to the purest example of a war between good and evil. The children of the Holocaust survivors rose from the ashes of Auschwitz with iron fists and blazing guns to beat back the heirs to the legacy of Nazism, the Muslims, in a miraculous and breathtaking victory.

In the atmosphere of June 1967, Israel could have expelled all of the Arab Muslim Nazis in the Holy Land with only minimal protest from the world.

This was a tragic lost opportunity, which Israel has paid a very heavy price for.

Now, in this latest war, Israel has new historic opportunities which she once again is squandering.

The first opportunity involves the Arab Muslim Nazis who live in Judea, Samaria, and the Gaza District.

If Israel would hermetically cut off all electricity, water, food shipments, foreign aid, and other assistance to the Arabs, it would cause instant starvation and desperation that would force the Arabs to leave these Jewish Biblical areas.

It would certainly be an understandable act of war to cut off supplies to the enemy. Although the European Jew-haters and the news media Jew-haters would criticize Israel, the criticism would not be very harsh as even the critics would know deep down that Israel is simply doing what every normal nation must do in a time of war.

Israel would not even have to lift a finger to expel the Arabs. The Arabs would leave en masse on their own. Israel would open the borders to enable the Arabs to leave as a humanitarian gesture, since allowing them to leave the war zone is the most humane solution.

Afterwards, there would be demands that the Arabs be permitted to return. Israel would reject those demands just as she has rejected the demands of Arabs who fled the 1948 War of Independence to return.

If only JTF and its heroic Israeli allies were in power in Israel, this golden opportunity would have been exploited already.

A second golden opportunity for Israel in the current war involves Muslim Nazi Iran and its program to develop nuclear bombs.

This is the perfect time for the Israeli air force to destroy all Iranian Muslim Nazi nuclear reactors, factories, and laboratories.

Even the Jew-hating world would have to understand that Israel is retaliating against the Iranian missile attacks on Israeli cities. And that tiny Israel cannot afford to allow the maniacal Iranian terrorist regime to create nuclear bombs, so that the fanatic ayatollahs and mullahs could carry out their promise to "wipe Israel off the face of the earth."


If the world complained about Israel's actions, so what? The world is complaining about Israel's hopelessly wimpy actions now.


This from jtf.org, yes, a rightwing activist Jewish site. Agree or not, their predictions have come true from the second WTC blast to the consequence of unilateral withdrawal. And this fantasy of arabs capable of a two-state solution.

#6  #5 Maybe he's okay, but I'm not a believer yet.
I hear concerns in Israel about the incoming rockets and such bullshit. It's like only northern Israel is at war. I don't think he will destroy Hizbolla, only scatter them and kiss the UN. I hope I'm wrong.

Cheer up buddy! You're sounding like me on a bad day when I see the progress or lack thereof in WOT. Israel's busted Hezbollah's banking system, cut off its resupply route, and has hundreds of its best fighter trapped in Bint Jbeil where they will die in the rubble. Just watch.

#4  Beware mission creep, Ehud. I presume the mission objectives were identified weeks ago. Allocate all of the resources per the advice of your military experts and allow them to execute the mission without interference. If they want it, give it to them. Say the Churchillian things and make no apologies - to anyone.

#3  Pound them, Ehud. Pound them. Don't leave one rock or one blade of grass undisturbed.

#2  He actually amazes me. I thought he was going to give away the store. Suddenly he's grown a massive pair and is daily telling the Muzzies just where to go.
