When the Human Shield Slips

by Austin Bay

The phrase "involuntary martyrdom" is a hideous clue to contemporary terrorists' perverse notions of battlefield victory and their means for pursuing political power in the 21st century.

Sir;...Please do not be retarded...The Gaza strip is a battle field... The only hope the people have to hold it is to live there...The only hope the people have for justice is to make an issue of it... They are not namby pamby in this... They are not like us forever conceding our rights to justice for the false promise of peace...They have an absolute right to justice, and you and Israel have absolutly no right to deny them justice... So long as those people have no choice but to accept life as victims, and injustice, or fight; they will fight... And it is a human struggle, and it is their enemy, the one with the real force to do violence that is in the wrong... No matter how you conservatives and most of the liberals try to paint the Muslims with blood, you fool only yourselves...Don't think your none sense fools the Muslims as to our purpose or the purpose of Israel... Those people are many, and more like any true Christian than the best of Jews... They are our natural friends and terrible enemies... They are the best imaginable market for our goods, and yet we steel their wills against us... That, is stupid... What can we count on Israel for??? Can we count on them keeping enemies -enemies, or will they make our enemies into our executioners??? Trust me on this... Only justice will bring peace... Killing those people by killing their cities is an international crime, and it is showing the true character of Israel... If there needs to be a no man's land; a killing zone, it is the larger group that should make it for the smaller... To kill women and children to make men accept injustice is a plan that will fail, and in failing, it will continue the bloodshed without end... Do not support stupidity... See through the nonsense to the reality beyond.. The world needs peace... Capitalism needs peace... Why steal what we cannot keep... Give justice that all can use and treasure...Thanks...Sweeney
