Stuff it, Kofi

Incredible. Lebanese, er, Hezbollah terrorists cross into Israel and kill and kidnap Israeli soldiers. Israel responds as any nation would: by demanding the return of their kidnapped citizens. Hezbollah refuses, and continues random attacks on civilians, launching rockets into Israeli towns, pell-mell.

So Israel attacks, sick and tired of the terrorism, the rockets, the random violence, the kidnappings — stuff carried out by what stands for a government in Lebanon, with support from Syria and Iran.

And the United Nations, that august body, tries to condemn Israel, barely paying lip service to scolding the kidnappers and terrorists.

Screw you, UN.

Let’s keep in mind that Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East, the only country there that treats women as equal, that has reasonable courts of law, that actually respects human rights. And the UN has the nerve to condemn it? Bull.

And don’t get me started on the Palestinians. They whine about living in “occupied” lands, which is nonsense — they count on people forgetting history, which apparently a lot of people have.

In a nutshell: When Israel was formed in 1948, its six Arab neighbors — Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Transjordan (now Jordan) — vowed to destroy it. Israel said to the Arabs living there, “Stay here with us.”

The Arab countries said, “Leave Israel, fight with us, and when we kill them all you can live in their houses.” And a lot of Arabs left.

Well, Israel won that war. And, not surprisingly, wasn’t interested in welcoming back the people who just fought against it. But, lo and behold, the Arab nations, licking their wounds, didn’t want those people either.

So they became the Palestinians, demanding to return to their “homeland” — the homeland they abandoned in order to attack Israel.

Sorry, those animals and terrorists — which no nation wants — have no claim to that land. If the Arab nations want them to have a homeland, let them donate the space rather than demand they be housed in the smallest country in the area.

If the Arab nations want peace, maybe, just maybe, they need to start acting reasonably. Maybe paying people to murder civilians in Israel, the US, and Europe isn’t the way to do it. But if they insist on acting like reckless, dangerous, terrorists, they really give up the right to complain when Israel fights back — and fights back hard.
