Rudyard Kipling"
“When you're left wounded on Afganistan's plains and
the women come out to cut up what remains, Just roll to your rifle
and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier”
General Douglas MacArthur"
“We are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.”
“It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.” “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.
“The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.”
“May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .” “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
“Nobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass
"Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint."
I've had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said
And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."
Ukraine, Which Votes at UN With Jihad Terrorists and Against Israel, is ‘Disappointed’ in Israel By Daniel Greenfield
Saturday, March 05, 2022
Jihad Watch : If the United States were being invaded and on the brink of conquest,
I’d want a leader willing to do absolutely everything. So I’m not going
to fault Zelensky for doing what’s best for his country. (Likewise,
Putin believes that conquering Ukraine and any other country that used
to be part of the Soviet sphere of influence is what’s best for his
country. Nationalism is only as good as the country or its leader.)
That said, the willingness of too many people to climb on board with
whatever propaganda Zelenskyy or Putin are spouting this week is too
much.
Meanwhile, Jewish people and pro-Israel outlets seem happy to ignore
the fact that Ukraine under its various governments has a history of
consistently voting against Israel and with the terrorists at the UN.
Instead, they’re straightforwardly rerunning cringe nonsense
like Zelenskyy comparing the bombing of Ukraine to the Holocaust. A
particularly egregious argument considering that Ukrainians played a
significant role in helping the Nazis kill Jews.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr
Zelensky on Thursday expressed disappointment at the Israeli
leadership’s response to his requests for aid as his country fights off a
Russian invasion.
“I expected greater support from Prime Minister [Naftali] Bennett,” he said at a press conference.
“I
saw a nice picture of Jews wrapped in [Ukrainian] flags by the Western
Wall,” said Zelensky, who is Jewish. “They prayed for us, and I thank
them for it. Our relations with the Israeli leadership are not bad, but
they are being tested in a time of need. I did not feel that the Israeli
prime minister is wrapped in our flag.”
Why exactly should the Israeli PM be wrapped in a Ukrainian flag? Has Zelensky been wrapped in the Israeli flag or the PLO flag?
Ukraine voted in favor of the UNRWA resolutions, abstained from the
militantly anti-Israel, “Report of the Special Committee to Investigate
Israeli Practices Affecting the Human Rights of the Palestinian People
and Other Arabs of the Occupied Territories” and voted in favor of
the “Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory,
including East Jerusalem, and the occupied Syrian Golan” resolution
which condemns Jews living in Judea and Samaria, and specifically in
Jerusalem.
That would include the area of the Western Wall that Zelensky mentioned.
Ukraine also voted in favor of the “The occupied Syrian Golan” resolution
This sort of thing was fairly typical.
Before all this Zelensky’s government, like many others around the
world, calculated that its best bet was to appease the Muslim world by
being hostile to Israel at the UN. Despite that, Israel voted to condemn
the Russian invasion and has provided some aid. But it’s unmitigated
chutzpah to repeatedly attack Israel in international forums and
delegitimize its capital and existence, and then complain that Israel
isn’t supportive enough of Ukraine.
Ukraine has asked Israel to
establish a field hospital, and the Foreign Ministry is preparing an
additional humanitarian aid package for Ukraine. Other items expected to
be in the next round of humanitarian aid are generators that Israel
bought, which will be brought to Ukraine directly from Europe, a
diplomatic source confirmed. In addition, Israel plans to continue to
send medical equipment, medications, and bandages, the source said.
