Halacha He: Esav Sonei L’Yaakov

I knew the window of opportunity was going to be short. And that window is finally beginning to close. The BBC for the first time since the Israeli invasion of Hezbollah in Lebanon has reported in a very anti Israel fashion. The focus was all on the carnage in Lebanon. The spin on the part of the BBC reporter was that “When is big bad Israel going to learn that violence doesn’t solve anything. Didn’t they learn anything from their first invasion back in 1982?”

This is the European mindset that is Esav. They look at the current hostilities as an equivalency... the famous "cycle of violence" mentality. Sure, Hezbollah attacked Israel, they say. But look at the carnage inflicted by the State terror that is the Israeli military. The proportions of dead in Lebanon are tenfold that of Israel. Nothing about context. Nothing about what the purpose of the new Amalek is: the annihilation of the Jews. Nothing about the reason there are so many civilians casualties in Lebanon. Or the fact that Israel warns civilians to get out of a target area (which in essence warns Hezbollah to get out as well) while Hezbollah has been targeting civilians for over 20 years!

The reason there are so many civilian casualties is because this is the way Hezbollah wants it. They imbed themselves amongst the civilian populations. It is a win/win for them. If Israel refuses to attack civilians they are safe. If Israel goes after them in civilian neighborhoods and civilians die... all the better. They can trumpet to the world, “Look world! Israel is killing innocent civilians!” “And with American made weapons yet!” A compliant BBC reports it exactly that way. To Hezbollah (and one can substitute any Islamist group one wishes, like Hamas) it is just martyrdom for the cause. If civilians die, so be it. It is Allah’s will. If it makes Israel look bad, it’s worth it!

The continuous images shown today on the BBC was of the carnage Israel is inflicting followed by UN officials blaming Israel for it and condemning them in the process... even promising prosecutions against Israeli leaders for war crimes. Never a word about who is really to blame here: Hezbollah! No war crimes trials for them were announced. But they are the ones that are completely responsible for every death, every blown off limb, every killed or maimed child. So much for the Esavs of the world.

Contrast that with what America has done. It is expediting shipments of advanced weaponry such as “bunker busters” so they can get those Nazi/Arab cockroaches hiding 100 feet below in those bunkers. The US knows who the real enemy is. They know who is really to blame for the carnage and they know it is not their ally Israel. And the Secretary of State is there right now making sure Lebanon and Europe knows where it stands, that Israel will be supported until it gets the job done. I just hope it is soon.

God bless the United States of America.

Thank God Esav (in its current incarnation, the European nations) is experiencing negative population growth. Who knows, maybe in a few generations, they will breed themselves out of existence. Good riddance!
