Rudyard Kipling"
āWhen 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 soldierā
General Douglas MacArthur"
āWe are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.ā
āIt is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.ā āOld soldiers never die; they just fade away.
āThe soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.ā
āMay God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .ā āThe object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
āNobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
āIt 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."
Fatah top dog: Palestinian Authority leadership wanted and called for Tel Aviv jihad murders
Friday, April 22, 2022
Robert Spencer : A senior Fatah leader explained
that the recent murder of civilians in Tel Aviv was precisely what the
PA leadership wanted and had called for. He said that when Raāad Hazem
murdered 3 in Tel Aviv and another terrorist, Ahmed Al-Saāadi, shot at
Israeli soldiers, they āimplementedā plans and ādecisionsā made by the
PLO, Fatah, and āthe Palestinian leadership.ā
This admission by Central Committee member and Commissioner for Arab and China Relations Abbas Zaki goes even beyond the glorification of the attack by different PLO factions, including Abbasā Fatah Movement immediately after the attack. Palestinian Media Watch reported at the time that Abbasā forced condemnation was insincere. Zakiās statement reconfirms PMWās report.
In
addition to the admission of responsibility for calling for terror by
the Fatah leader at an event in Jenin to honor terrorists, the moderator
praised the murderer from Tel Aviv as āthe heroic Martyrdom-seeker
Raāad Fathi Zidan Hazem, who shook Tel Aviv.ā Zaki then praised
terrorist Al-Saāadi as āthe heroic Martyrā and Raāad Hazem, who murdered
the 3 civilians, as ātrue thunder, a legend, and a man worth 1,000
men,ā who āimposed fear inside Israel.ā
Zaki explained that their
attacks were āthe clearest wayā to āimplementā decisions made by Fatah
and the PA leadership on a meeting on Feb. 7, 2022. PMW has shown that
in meetings that day, the PA leadership called for more āpopular resistanceā ā a PA euphemism for terror attacks like shootings, stabbings, and car rammings:
āThe main topic of the [PLO] Central Council meeting yesterday was popular resistance. All the sessions, meetings, and conferences, whether of the Fatah Movement or of the other factions, and also His Honor President [Abbas called] in all his speeches to initiate popular resistance.ā
[Official PA TV, Feb. 8, 2022]
Clearly,
senior Fatah official Zaki was referring to these meetings and the
ādecisionsā made there or at others like them, when he stated that the
murder of 3 Israelis were the āimplementationā and ātranslationā of the
leadershipās decisions:
āYou, the people of Jenin, are in
practice, in the clearest way, implementing the [Fatah] Central
Committeeās decisions and the Palestinian peopleās consensus on Feb. 7
[2022] about cutting off the ties with Israel, cancelling the
recognition of Israel, pursuing the settlers, and about standing proudly
to let the world hear that the Palestinian will not surrender or kneel,
and the people of Jenin are translating the Palestinian leadershipās
decisions [into action].ā
