Barak: "We need to always remember that we aren't North America or Western Europe, we live in the Middle East, in a place where there is no mercy for the weak and there aren't second chances for those who don't defend themselves"

The fat and complacent left-leaning West should thank Barak (as in Ehud) for that priceless advice...or was it a warning!

Looks like Europe has already started its Middle East vacation and North America is buying tickets now. Where would Israel be now if Obama was their leader?

Only when the enemy is at their door step will the EU,American, and Western dhimmis' get concerned about their own well being. But as long as there just a major threat to little Israel do they then stand there and criticize a country that is forever trying to protect itself from the dar al harb that Muslims have placed on all of the Western World.

To me it is like a bunch of little Neville Chamberlains acting as enablers over the actions of the Nazis' when countries like the Netherlands, and Poland fought back against them as they went around thinking-- I can negotiate deals with Hitler and then he will leave us alone. And yet Winston Churchill new better just as he understood the archaic nature of Islam in his book "The River Wars" published way back in 1898.

The world needs another Churchill badly if we are going to stop the invasions of the Muslim hoards across the free world, we need people who recognize their deceit, and deceptions and the their Islamic determinations that are going on all over the world.

The point of this blockade-busting attempt was not really to bust the blockade at all, but to cause as much of a fuss as possible among that "international community" that always seems to come into being only when there is a need to denounce, in fanatically felt or, for some, only feigned fashion, Israel, as hands are held in a chain of indignant solidarity and solicitousness for "outraged" Muslims is the order of the day.

And that fuss would lead to another fuss -- a demand that Israel cease the blockade. Why? There is no need for any worry about humanitarian aid. It gets through, some 15,000 tons a week, from Israel itself to Gaza. It is simply taken for granted that Israel will continue to supply such aid, along with electric power and water, to those whose main reason for being is to destroy Israel. Any aid that is genuine, offered by others, can also be sent through Israel. For weeks the Israelis had made clear to those "international activists" those running even this flotilla that any genuine aid could be off-loaded in Ashdod and it would be promptly brought to Gaza by the Israelis themselves, once it had been properly inspected.

But Israel will not, cannot, allow weapons into Gaza -- such as the tens of thousands of rockets that have been allowed by the U.N. into Hezbollah, supplied by Iran via Syria, rockets whose target is Israel and only Israel, in the Big War that is being prepared, systematically, by the forces of Islam (temporary director: Iran) in the Jihad that has no end, cannot possibly have an end, against Israel.

Gigantic amounts of weaponry of every kind, including rockets and missiles, are being stocked on all sides for use against Israel: to its east, in Iran, to its north, in Lebanon, to its northeast, in Syria, to its southwest, in Gaza, and even further south, in the armories and treasuries of sinister Saudi Arabia and a dozen other Gulf states, money is being used to buy weapons,and those weapons are always available, in the end, for the Final Assault on Israel. Why let Iran get all the credit, if the next assault looks likely of some success, and why let Shi'a Iran have all the fun?

That's what this flotilla is about. It's about weapons, not the weapons on board these ships, now, but all the weapons that are to come, and come, and come, if the plan works, and the propaganda, the nonsense, the lies, the farce, having elicited the usual l unthinking hysteria, then leads to the ending of the arms blockade that, coute que coute, Israel must maintain in order to survive.

Israel must be supported in that essential blockade of arms for Gaza, arms for the Fast Jihadists of Hamas. Israel has no other choice. And there is no other country that would behave any differently, and there are many countries -- almost any other country -- that would not tolerate the kinds of things, and the level of danger, that Israel is now expected to, and already does, endure.

Barak, unlike Buraq Hussein, truly gets it... He doesn't have to have read André Servier to understand that timeless truth about mahoundian inbred bedouin savages, does he?

The coward and the cripple are doomed to contempt and death. The respect of his (the inbred bedouin savage's) neighbor is in proportion to the fear with which he inspires him. To win the praise of poets and the love of women, he must be a brilliant horseman, skilled in the use of sword and spear.

We love the Jewish people!
Get it, Muslims?

You have a long way to go -
about 1400 years, by our counting,
so get your minds together,
stop acting-out like children,
and get your democratic act together!

The civilized world is just about fed up
with your juvenile antics and temper-tantrums,
so grow the hell up,
and get back on your ADHD medication!

Moslems hate it when an entity confronts them. "Excessive force!, no fair!" they bemoan when they pick a fight and lose.

I would like to know why Israel did not go on the offensive with Turkey from the get go. The moment these ships launched, Israel should have summoned the Turkish Ambassador and demanded to know why Turkey was sending ships into a military zone. Israel should have told them - no demanded, they they recall the ships OR the ships would be sunk. Then Israel should have told the world's press that if the ships entered the zone, they would be sunk. In taking such a tough stance (and backing it up) Israel could avoid the endless ships that are now to come. Israel should now be linking Turkey with terrorists activities every way they can - every day.

NO ONE and I mean NO ONE has the right to lecture Israel, their back are against the wall and they will be shown no mercy by the moslems.

I have known many arabs & moslems, they are the most genocidal people you will ever come across. Warped & twisted in their islamic world view.

The liberal/left lift in a fantasy land.
Have a look at the latest sanctamonious rubbish from the deluded idiots at the guardian, apparantly, if the liberal lefts "Other" favorites gay people object to islam, then they are racist, and the article is written by a right on trendy, lefty, Sikh, who should bloody well know better.
The comments are interesting, what planet do these people live on???

Hamas as well Turkey is simply is picking a fight with Israel, one in which the will not win.

"We need to always remember that we aren't North America or Western Europe, we live in the Middle East, in a place where there is no mercy for the weak and there aren't second chances for those who don't defend themselves. You were fighting for your lives - I saw it, and I heard it from your commanders.".
.......................

"No mercy for the weak" indeed-and it suffuses Muslim culture.

I am reading Ayaan Hirsi Ali's book "Nomad" now, and she writes extensively about this. As a child, when her older brother would attack her and even throw her in the latrine, her grandmother—instead of disciplining her brother and giving him some moral instruction, would instead *beat the victim*, and scream at her that this was what happened when you were weak.

Her cousin would drag her and her siblings out and stage fights with the neighborhood kids, that started out with insults and escalated to assaults. Anyone who lost, ran away, or cried was subjected to further beatings from their own relatives and "supporters".

Her mother often beat Ayaan's brother, insisting he himself "control" his sisters—so he would tie them up and beat them—*with his mother's approval*. Parents beat their children, husbands beat their wives.

She was beaten by her grandmother, her mother, her brother, and had her *skull fractured by an Imam*. She goes to pains to emphasize that she did not come from a uniquely violent family, or even, by Muslim standards, a uniquely violent culture.

When she was working as an interpreter in the Netherlands as an adult, she heard very similar stories from other Somali immigrants. Speaking with her fellow translators, she heard almost identical stories from those dealing with Turkish, Moroccan, Algerian, and Pakistani immigrants.

The "Middle East", and the whole of Dar-al-Islam, has no mercy for the weak at all—Ehud Barak is right. If this is true for their fellow Muslims, it is much more the case for the "hated Jews". If Israel does not assert her strength and eagerness to defend herself, she will be lost—surrounded as she is by Muslims who want her "driven into the sea".

A very encouraging, if opinionated, article.

We need to always remember that we aren't North America or Western Europe, we live in the Middle East, in a place where there is no mercy for the weak and there aren't second chances for those who don't defend themselves.

Funny how, back when establishment of the State of Israel was under consideration, it was seriously argued that emigration to a Jewish state in Palestine was only way for Jews in North America and Western Europe to look after their security.

The entire Muslim world must be laughing behind their sleeves. This whole flotilla performance was a set-up to provoke the IDF into action and turn the tide of international opinion against Israel once and for all.

The article is good but unfortunately it will never be viewed objectively because it came out of Israel. Most news sites here in the West - including the conservative and more enlightened liberal ones - seem content to toe the 'innocent peace activists / Israeli brutes' party line even though plenty of video evidence exists to the contrary. With 'friends' like these ... who CAN you trust? Who isn't in the jihadists' pockets these days?

I have an awful feeling something big is coming. I hope I'm wrong.

I can't wait until the rest of the pre-school world starts to see Muhammadenism the way Ehud Barak does. Then when they get to that elementary stage of awareness they can proceed to fuller awareness that Muhammadenism must be eliminated from the face of the earth only to exist in history books as one of humanity's many errors that were corrected.

Of course,the Zionist predators wouldn't have started their colonial enterprise in the West, would they? Their monumental miscalculation was the assumption that the Palestinians would just 'disappear',however,they still continue to resist after 60 years,so naturally the region is dangerous.

Mac fails to take note of the MANY instances in which Islam and Arabs are currently involved in conflicts that have NOTHING at all to do with Israel, Jews, or "Zionists."

Ehud Barak speaks the truth.

Mac is simply insulting the intelligence of all those here who have taken the trouble to find out about Islam's texts and teachings and the blindingly obvious connection between those texts and teachings and Islam-on-the-ground, the 1400 year-long blood trail punctuated with mountains of corpses that Islam has produced in the course of invading and enslaving and mass-murdering non-Muslims on three continents, and then, too, in the course of its endless internecine wars both small and great.

And his endless parroting of all the tired old anti-Israel propaganda phrases is starting to get very boring.

Thank the God who created the Universe that at least the Israeli leaders understand the mindset of their neighbours who want to annihilate the Israeli state. And pray that God will always give Israel such leaders.

The Muslims show by their own words and actions that they indeed worship Muhammad in their hearts, and therefore their chief god is Muhammad. They therefore worship two gods - Muhammad and the god he told them to worship, from which he claimed to have received his 'revelations'. And because the Muslims worship Muhammad in their hearts and Muhammad is therefore one of the two gods they worship, Muhammad and his lies must be protected from the truth about him. There is no way that Israel can afford to be weak amidst neighbours who are under the most mind-boggling bondage of the heart and mind in the history of the universe.

India desperately needs leader like Ehud Barak.

Did I miss something - Ehud Barak is defense minister in Bibi's government?
