According to the State Department:

“Designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization since 1997, HAMAS has carried out attacks – such as suicide bombings, rocket launches, improvised explosive device attacks, and shootings – against civilian targets inside Israel.”

Hamas has been designated as a terrorist organization since 1997 but, the broadcast networks, ABC, NBC and CBS simply refuse to use the designation in reports of the war between Hamas and Israel in Gaza.

Surprised?

You shouldn’t be.

The attack carried out at Fort Hood has been labeled by the Obama administration as, “Workplace Violence.”

Remember “Man Made Disasters?”

Benghazi they tried to convince us, was the result of film critics panning a bad You Tube video.

The politically correct term for Hamas TERRORISTS is now…

“Militants” or…“Militant Islamic leaders.”

They are terrorists. Hamas is a terrorist organization and the rockets they continue to fire into Israel are acts of terror.

The world’s most corrupt organization, the United Nations, condemns ISRAEL over Israel’s reaction TO these acts of terror perpetrated against them. Israel fights back. Defends herself. The world’s collection of despots, thieves and thugs are beside themselves.

Why?

Because “Palestinian” civilians are being killed?

Hamas expects such a reaction from the den of iniquity and in fact, they are counting on it.

Hamas hides their weapons of terror, their rockets and launchers exactly where they can and do endanger civilians. They hide then in schools, hospitals, neighborhoods, mosques, apartment buildings.

Terrorists nearly always use civilians and children as shields.

To destroy the terrorist threat and the terrorists weapons and rockets, collateral damage will be required.

Hamas will then parade the dead and injured before the willing cameras of ABC, NBC and CBS…CNN, MSNBC and the west’s most liberal/progressive/socialist reporters.

So what?

Military forces cannot and should not be constricted by political correctness which, in and of itself, has become a propaganda weapon in the arsenal of terrorists.

Political correctness is the homicide vest presented as a Snuggie by the liberal lapdog media to a willingly duped public. By calling terrorists “militants” or “militant Islamic leaders” and by showing “civilians” injured or killed by Israeli airstrikes in Gaza, the media is acting as agents of terror by spreading their propaganda.

Of course the death of children in war is terrible but, terrorists only feel that way when it is THEIR children getting killed and even then their outrage is manufactured.

These are people who teach their children to hate and teach them to kill when they are no bigger than the weapons they hold. These are people who strap explosives to their children and send them into market places or place them on a bus.

It’s perfectly acceptable for the child of a terrorist to be used as a weapon to kill Israelis but considered a war crime when those same children, used as human shields, are killed by Israelis in the course of destroying the terrorist’s ability to attack Israel.

To a terrorist, women and children are expendable but only upon THEIR will.

This is a sad but true fact and one which most of western media is far too happy to ignore.

Gaza was a present to the “Palestinian” people from Israel. You want it, you can HAVE it on the condition that you live there peacefully and don’t attack Israel FROM Gaza.

It seems a reasonable deal but not to the Hamas terrorists. They have, since the day Israel forcefully removed Israelis FROM Gaza, been at war with Israel FROM Gaza.

You see, Hamas, the military wing of the Palestinian Authority and the Muslim Brotherhood wants ALL of Israel.

Not because of riches, oil, or anything other than it belongs TO Israel.

Israel has NO Natural resources. None. The only thing Israel has is Israelis and it’s not so much that Hamas or the Palestinian Authority wants Israel…They simply want NO Israelis.

How many rocket attacks should it take for a country to say enough is enough and a state of ware exists? How many?

1…2…A dozen?

How many?

Hamas has now fire thousand of rockets into Israel from Gaza since Israel ceded Gaza TO them years ago.

THOUSANDS of rocket attacks and by many estimations, Hamas has nearly 12,000 MORE rockets in their supplies. Some taken from Libya after Gaddafi was done in, some from Iran and others smuggled into the Gaza Strip through tunnels extending from Egypt.

Over the last 2 weeks, between 500 and 750 rockets have been fired from Gaza into Israel and, let’s be clear, they are aimed at civilian centers. That’s right…Hamas TERRORISTS are TARGETING Israeli CIVILIAN CENTERS.

You won’t hear much about THAT on ABC, NBC or CBS.

In RESPONSE…Yes…RESPONSE to these attacks, Israel has flown hundreds and hundreds of sorties to pound those TERRORIST rocket sites strategically placed in civilian neighborhoods, schools, hospitals and mosques.

The IDF will pinpoint their sorties as best they can but, they will NOT succumb to political correctness which governs far too many rules of engagement. They simply can’t afford to.

The ground war is imminent.

Now we hear that Egypt is trying to “negotiate” an end to the current violence…Trying to convince Hamas to cease fire.

Why?

This is a simple decloaking of terrorist tactics.

Egypt, run by the Muslim Brotherhood, friend of Iran and order giver to Hamas is asking Hamas to knock it off for one simple reason.

If a ground war comes into effect, Hamas will lose control of their weapons and rockets at a most inopportune moment in time.

Israel has drawn a red line against Iran’s nuclear program and should Iran near or cross that line, Israel WILL set forth to put an end to Iran’s nuclear ambitions with military force.

As Iran has NO intention of backing down and EVERY intention of continuing their nuclear ambitions, Iran NEEDS those rockets, rocket launchers and terrorists to launch them IN Gaza and ON standby.

For Israel, pounding Gaza terrorist site from the air makes it easier to go town to town, neighborhood to neighborhood and door to door on the ground to eliminate the terrorist threat from Gaza before such time that destroying Iran’s ability to further their nuclear weapons program becomes necessary.

It also sends a clear signal TO Iran that Israel IS prepared to strike and WILL do so if Iran comes to that red line.

The ground war is necessary for another reason as well.

Hamas has spent a considerable amount of money to hide many of their rocket launchers underground. While they ARE visible when they are fired, many are NOT visible unless those ground forces of the IDF can locate them.

Israel is NOT the aggressor in ANY of these actions and will not be the aggressor in action against Iran.

Hamas, the Palestinian Authority, the Muslim Brotherhood and Iran ALL want Israel eliminated and all are actively seeking Israel’s destruction.

Israel’s restraint to this point has been epic and, in my estimation, unprecedented. Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu have extended olive branch after olive branch and the response has always been more rockets and more attacks against Israel.

The time and space of which Obama speaks related to diplomacy has been nothing but time and space for the terrorist enemies of Israel to lock and reload. Terrorists have no regard for diplomacy and respect only for strength.

Were Netanyahu as spineless as Obama, Israel would not exist today and it will be HIS strength which will SAVE Israel as Netanyahu IS a leader and WILL continue to show strength in the face of his enemies.

This morning, from Thailand, Obama expressed “support” for Israel but, as I outlined in yesterday’s Weekend Edition, Obama interests in the region are squarely with the Islamist factions and therefore, his desire to find a negotiated cease-fire from Hamas is ALSO in line with the desires of Iran via the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas as described above.

Mr. Prime Minister…Pay NO Attention to the fool on the hill for HIS desire is to PRESERVE the ability of Hamas to engage in strikes against YOUR great nation when the red line is crossed.
