War Against Islamism – 1.29.2008

Some days, I wonder why we aren’t already finished off in the War Against Islamism. Our political leaders have no clue what they’re doing. The Mass Media is an enabler. And the International Community plays right into the collective hands of Islamists.

Take for example this article:

U.S. Navy stopped Iran ship carrying weapons and headed to Gaza

Now, for years, Iran has been conducting Acts of War against both the United States of America and Israel unchecked and unchallenged. In purely military sense, you are well within your right to sink an enemy supply ship during times of war. And yet, the response of the United States Government was to let the supply ship go, and continue on to Egypt.

U.S. Navy ordered to release Iran weapons ship

According to the second article, the weapons aboard the Iranian ship were not bound for Hamas, but instead an Egyptian port. Thus, the U.S. ship detaining the Iranian vessel was ordered to release the vessel. All that was asked of the Egyptians was that a “thorough search of the vessel be conducted.”

Well I don’t think that will be a problem, seeing as the weapons will be unloaded in Egypt and smuggled into Gaza, all with the tacit approval of the Egyptian government. How can you possibly beat an enemy, particularly an enemy with a vast recruitment pool to draw from, if you do not cut the supply chain? The answer is you can’t. Every part of the supply chain for an opposing military is  perfectly valid target, and the United States is showing great foolishness by not sinking enemy supply ships such as the aforementioned Iranian ship.

In World War II, the only reason Field Marshall Erwin Rommel, the Desert Fox, was defeated in North Africa was that the Royal Air Force and United States Navy cut his supply line. The transport craft from Italy bearing men, munitions, vehicles, food, and fuel were sunk, and shown no mercy. If that supply line is not cut, then the entire course of the war changes.

Whether we like it or not, we are at war with Iran right this moment. They have been waging war via proxy forces for years, and we have never called them on it. And I am getting sick and tired of it. The time for political leaders to appreciate the new reality the world has come; our survival is at stake. The longer we deny our enemy exists, the more entrenched he becomes. The more people accept that Jihad against the Infidel is simply “the way life is”, and they fall into apathy. They stop caring about the enemy at the gates, and they stop fighting.

This is a war of attrition, and as of now, the United States is not giving everything it has. Our media lies about the conflict, our politicians delude themselves and the people. People like me are judged to be “dangerous radicals” and “bigots” despite the fact that we speak the truth. Jihad exists; it is all too real. Jihadists have no moral high ground, no courage, no honor, no respect for laws and common decency.

From Palestinian Media Watch:

Gaza victims describe being used
as human shields by Hamas
by Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook

Members of a Gaza family whose farm was turned into a “fortress” by Hamas fighters have reported that they were helpless to stop Hamas from using them as human shields. They told the official Palestinian Authority daily newspaper that for years Hamas has used their property and homes for military installations from which to launch rockets into Israel, dig tunnels and store arms. According to the victims, those who tried to object were shot in the legs by Hamas.

  
The following are excerpts from the article from the official Palestinian Authority daily, Al-Hayat Al-Jadida:

 
“The Abd Rabbo family kept quiet while Hamas fighters turned their farm in the Gaza strip into a fortress. Right now they are waiting for the aid promised by the [Hamas] movement after Israel bombed the farm and turned it into ruins…
The hill on which the Abd Rabbo family lives overlooks the Israeli town Sderot, a fact that turned it into an ideal military position for the Palestinian fighters, from which they have launched hundreds of rockets into southern Israel during the last few years. Several of the Abd Rabbo family members described how the fighters dug tunnels under their houses, stored arms in the fields and launched rockets from the yard of their farm during the nights.

The Abd Rabbo family members emphasize that they are not [Hamas] activists and that they are still loyal to the Fatah movement, but that they were unable to prevent the armed squads from entering their neighborhood at night. One family member, Hadi (age 22) said: “You can’t say anything to the resistance [fighters], or they will accuse you of collaborating [with Israel] and shoot you in the legs.”
