The U.S. Would Do Well to Remain Silent

For far too long the U.S. has meddled in the internal affairs of Israel and its defensive posture against terrorists all around it. The Israelis, however, have shown time and again that they are quite capable of doing what is necessary to survive in a hostile environment.

This is in spite of world-wide anti-Semitic propaganda, often propagated by a Left-leaning Press and certainly embraced by many of the world's nations and the U.N.

Nothing is ever said about terrorist rockets fired directly into Jewish neighborhoods at the rate of 200-300 per day. Yet when Israel gets a belly full of the Jihadist vermin and defends itself, its actions are immediately met with the condemnation of the usual suspects, including the U.N.

The U.S. has often felt the pressure of the world community to appear supportive of a 'palestinian state' in the name of a perennially elusive 'peace.' Thus, American Presidents are prone to issue generalized calls for 'a ceasefire' in these skirmishes.

This time, however, the U.S. would do well to remain silent.

The rockets will continue to fall deep inside Israeli territory unless the Jewish nation is allowed to do whatever is necessary to stop the terrorists, including a full-fledged ground invasion of Gaza.

In fact, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) believes that Hamas is gearing up for a massive terrorist attack against Israel within the next few days, including the kidnapping of an Israeli soldier.

It is clear, therefore, that Israel must be given a free hand to do what it must to survive in a terribly dangerous and volatile region of the world where invariably all the nations surrounding it wish for its demise.

And the best thing for America to do is to simply shut up.
