Palestine's State of the Art Weaponry

Yesterday, as a group of off the clock IDF soldiers were visiting the holy city of Jerusalem, a BMW flew off the street aimed directly at Israel's defenders. The driver mowed down the group causing much injury and was shot within seconds by nearby soldiers. After evaluation of the incident it became known that the driver was an East-Jerusalem Arab. Surprise! Once again the Palestinians have found a way to wreak havoc onto un-alert citizens. That is what terrorist do of course.

I understand that car accidents happen. Even those as odd as this. But there are a few things that make me positive no such accident occurred. He was not only an East Jerusalem Arab, but also a member of Hamas. Hmmm. And bystanders observed that the BMW sped up to a high speed while headed towards its victims. Interesting. This has terrorist attack written all over.

But you know I really feel for this guy. He has been so oppressed by the Israeli state. We put him in such a state of poverty that he was forced to drive a BMW around. If only we had given him money to upgrade to a more "classy" kind of car. Our bad. Cough cough sarcasm.

So what does Israel do? We have given in to the humanitarian need to treat the Arabs as equal. We lift border crossings, let them work in our state, drive around, and what do we get? They use what we have given them against us. We no longer are fighting a war with guns and bombs. We are fighting an enemy who takes a car to innocent pedestrians, an enemy who earlier in the summer used a bulldozer to attack innocent civilians, and an enemy who strap bombs to themselves and blow up markets. This is no way to live for Israelis. It's not fair to make them live in such a state of terror that thy cant even walk down the street without the fear of being crushed by oncoming traffic.

Israel has done more than its fair share of trying to negotiate with this beast like enemy and enough is enough. When we treat them like humans and they respond by treating us like dirt it shows who exactly wants peace. And when they take advantage of our gifts, it's time to make them stop. If they use the gift of jobs in Israel to take bulldozers and attack civilians, its time to not give them jobs. If they use the gift of driving to run over pedestrians, it's time to only give driving privileges to Israeli citizens. And if they constantly aim for the innocent its time to make the decision whats more important - their rights, or our lives. To me the choice is easy.

I hope one day we can live in peace with them. Unfortunatly, the time is not now.
