It doesn't matter how many hundreds of rockets that Arabs shoot into Israel because nobody outside of the international Jewish minority, with notable exceptions, gives a damn. It doesn't matter if little Israeli kids develop Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as babies and it doesn't matter what kind of adults derive from such experience. The reason it doesn't matter is because the rest of the world, for the most part, doesn't give a damn.
What they do give a damn about is when the Jews of the Middle East dare to defend themselves against their genocidal next-door neighbors. Now that is completely unacceptable. Arabs butchering Arabs in the millions - in a years-long display of barbarism and blood, even featuring examples of triumphant cannibalism before the cameras.
The much hailed "Arab Spring" has not become an "Arab Winter" it is become an "Arab Hell." They are butchering one another in droves throughout the Arab-Muslim world - into the millions - but there are no calls for boycott, by self-righteous and hypocritical western leftists, of any of the Arab states.
Arabs ethnically-cleansing Christians out of the Middle East? Just fine. How many millions dead and displaced in the Darfur conflict? Who knows? Who cares, really?
But Jews fighting back?!
Not acceptable!
Well, I have to tell you, ladies and gentlemen, that times have changed. The good-old-days when you could toss Jews down European wells with impunity are over. The fine-old-times when Jews were even disallowed from riding horses throughout the vast Arab-conquered imperial territory are also over.
I am sorry, but it has to become clear to people that the Jews are not punching bags with no ability to hit back.
We will and we are.
Oh, and by the way, many in the progressive left are going to use this conflict as an excuse to seek to undermine Israel's legitimacy in the eyes of as many people as they can. They will drag out the blood libel by claiming that Israel is specifically targeting civilians.
It is a lie.
The exact opposite is true. Israel always does everything that it can do to limit civilian casualties. In fact, it is my understanding that Israel has the very best record in modern warfare in limiting civilian casualties of the enemy population.
And that's why the little clip above matters.
But, y'know, I am just spitting a typhoon of hatred that is pervading the anti-Israel blogosphere as I write this.
G-d bless and keep the IDF.
