With the death penalty there is a safe and viable alternative.
With terrorists there is no viable alternative.


Why shouldn't terrorists, who are murderers too, be punished with this "safe and viable alternative"?
Because they are equal
They are equal?

Zionism;

"Zionism is a nationalist movement that emerged in the 19th century to espouse support for the establishment of a homeland for the Jewish people in Palestine, a region roughly corresponding to the Land of Israel in Jewish tradition."

Nothing wrong with that at all.
All good being a Zionist.

But of course, in the woke world we inhabit today, patriotism and nationalism are 'dirty' words.

The USA is a special place in that we have all of the people of the world all living as equals in peace. Los Angeles has almost 1 million Persians in Los Angeles living in peace with the Jews. And it is amazing, everyone has guns, and still we have peace for the most part. I always thought that if the whole world can get along peacefully here in the USA as equals then we can do it as a planet.

And when I worked for the Government then a lot of work that I did was for Missile Defense, and my Mother also did a lot of work for Missile Defense, we have made a lot of progress on Missile Defense and it would have been a lot worse in Israel without the Iron Dome System.

The CIA also needs to be busy, and Mossad needs to be busy. And at the same time the Peace Corps needs to be busy.

My friends were managing homeless shelters that had both Persians and Jews living together, we can have peace.

Israel needs to make a deck of playing cards like W did with the pictures of the bad guys on the cards and then Israel needs to go kill the bad guys on the deck of cards. The world is a more peaceful place now because W removed a lot of bad guys, and Obama did too. A lot of bad guys are gone now.

I pray for peace, and I know there must be justice as well, and some bad guys need to be removed. Some people are evil and they need to be removed, then there can be peace.

Salute,

Tony V.

In the Daily Telegraph today:

"Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh says the current attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip - Operation Al-Aqsa Flood- will expand to the West Bank and Jerusalem."

There's a photo of him.
This could be the end of Israel and the Jews there if US warships don't soon arrive and stop Hamas and Hezbollah.
There's no one else willing (or able), it seems.

" Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it" - Hamas charter

Well there you go.

One can be a Zionist and not far right.

True, and I did not intend to say otherwise.  The Bibi brand seems more abrasive than some. 

And it looks like Hamas and PIJ were bright enough to take a lot of hostages, which means some serious limitations on Israel's military response.  Leveling Gaza might be off the table.

Israel will be fine, Israel is strong, and they have Apache helicopters, along with Missile Defense, etc.

And the Christians will come to the aid of Israel.

Biden has already went on television and he promised support for Israel.

The CIA, Mossad, and the Peace Corps, need to all be busy.

And there are Christians in Lebanon, etc.

We need to have peace, and we need to remove a few bad apples so that everyone else can have peace.

And with Russia, they are a very poor nation and we have the World Bank and unlimited funds, and the meek shall inherit the Earth, we need to use money to help the poor Christians in Russia to take control of Russia and to run Russia after the United Nations removes Putin and puts him in Guantanamo Bay.

We can restore peace, but it will take team-work.

And Pope Francis is a great man of peace, he can help. And Kiwanis can help, and Youth For Christ can help, etc.

Also, we need to strengthen France and the French Foreign Legion, we need for Colombians, and Mexicans, and Bolivians, and Peruvians, etc, to join the French Foreign Legion.

Salute,

Tony V.

Bibi is the ace of spades.

Bibi is going to slaughter people, he wants revenge, he said that he is going to punish them so bad that they will remember it for generations, he wants to teach them a lesson. It is their own fault, they brought it on themselves, and now Bibi is going to administrate justice on those who attacked Israel.

Meanwhile, the poor Palestinians can go be essential workers in Abu Dhabi and in Dubai, and the Arabs are rich now and they want peace, they want tourists, etc, and they are into playing Golf now, etc. There is no need for bitter poverty and suffering and war for the poor Palestinians, they can go live a good life as an essential worker in Abu Dhabi and in Dubai. UNICEF needs to transport refugees to Abu Dhabi and to Dubai. The people who want peace can escape to Abu Dhabi and Dubai before Bibi deals out the punishment.

Salute,

Tony V.

Sorry, no money left for climate change.
Climate change money must now be used for sending weapons, anti-glider missiles, pick ups with machine guns on the back,  and wall building materials to Israel. [and Ukraine]
