Here is a question for Breaking the Silence:

Where is the Palestinian Breaking the Silence?

Where are the Palestinians who speak out against Palestinians who dress their young children up in suicide vests for the international press and teach them that the greatest thing they can do with their life is to die killing Jews. And why don't you.

Where are the Palestinians who speak out against the Palestinians who fire thousands of missiles into Israel with the express purpose of killing and terrorizing Jewish men, women and children. And why don't you?

Where are the Palestinians who publicly refuse to store missiles in their homes?

Where are the Palestinians who speak out against missiles and weapons being stored in schools and hospitals? And why don't you?

Where are the Palestinians who speak out against celebrating whenever a Jew is killed by a suicide bomber or a missile? And why don't you.

Where is the Palestinian Peace Now group?

Where is the Palestinian Not in My Name Group?

They do not exist. They do not exist because the goal of the Palestinians is to kill Jews and destroy Israel and they prove every day that they are happy to die to achieve this goal.

You want to criticize the IDF because of the way it treats the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza, fine,. You have the right to do that,. Israel is a democracy with freedom of speech. There are Arabs in the Knesset right now who support Palestinian missiles and suicide bombers.


And you criticize the way Israel defends itself. For you, the Jews have to be perfect. The Palestinians get a pass. No matter what they do, they are blameless. It is always the Jew’s fault.

The thing you have forgotten is that there were dozens of terrorist attacks from the West Bank and Gaza against Jews in Israel before 1967, before any Occupation. The PLO was created in 1964. It was created to kill Jews and destroy Israel. There was no Occupation in 1964. How do you explain this?

The bottom line is this: If Israel wanted to destroy the Gaza Strip and kill every Palestinian tomorrow it could. If the Palestinians could destroy Israel and kill every Jew tomorrow they would. Everything else is Politically Correct Crap.

It is obvious that there is no Oppression of the Palestinians. There is Israel, trying, as best it can, to defend itself from people who want to destroy it and will take any action, including suicide, to achieve this goal.

Is Israel perfect when they do this. Clearly not. But perfection should not be the standard when survival is at stake. This is especially true when those who want to kill you will do anything to kill you. You want to apply your enlightened standards of morality to the IDF, fine. Show me another country that deals with 60 years of being surrounded by enemies who will stop at nothing to slaughter its citizens any better.

When you hold the Palestinians to the same standards you hold the IDF, then maybe you will have a point. But for you, the Palestinians are the poor blameless victims and the IDF is the Oppressor. Nothing could be more wrong.

It is not Oppression to defend yourself from those who want to kill you, even if you do so imperfectly. It is not Oppression to win a war you did not start or desire. Israel is not oppressing the Palestinians any more than the United States oppressed the Germans in World War II. It is not Oppression to prevent genocide.


Throughout history there have been always been Jews who blame the Jews for the acts of those who want to kill them. Breaking the Silence is just another example of this long but sad tradition.

I am sure that you would have supported the shooting of those who demonstrated against the Vietnam war. My guess is that even now you will not admit that that war was a terrible mistake.

I once broke the silence,I farted at a funeral.

These people are out to cause trouble. Yet they present themselves as innocent people.

The CEO of Breaking the Silence or the Israelis who beat up the Arabs on the beach last week?
