“What a price we have paid for that land: seven thousand killed in the War of Independence; another thousand killed in the 1956 Sinai campaign and the Six Day War; three thousand killed in the October 1973 war; hundreds killed by terrorist raids. We offer ourselves grim consolation: all the wars have cost us less than three days at Auschwitz.”
Chaim Potok, “Wanderings”

You know I always try to find a quote for these posts, but none made me think about my topic as much as this one. The general insanity that’s going on has even prompted some to start saying this is the start of World War III. Personally I think Israel is basically a petulant child whose rich uncle gave it some poor kids backyard. It just can’t understand why those jerks won’t just get over it. The quote above, however, makes me see things in a more grim light. If their reference to all the madness that has been going on since the start is, “It’s not as bad as Auschwitz.” What the hell could make them back down? Especially since the big boys on the block (U.S.A. and Britain) back them up. This whole thing reminds me of guys I grew up with. They’re cool with you, but every few days you have to save someone from getting beaten bloody for no reason by letting them know this person is your friend. You don’t really want to be seen with them cause you know they’ll start some trouble and most of the time all you can do is suggest that other people move back until their done and hope to not get singled out. The only thing wrong with this analogy is that we (U.S.A.) are more of an instigator that kind of enjoys the chaos. “Oh that Israel is crazy!!!” We treat this false state like a drunken frat buddy that’s bound to get expelled, beat his wife and go to jail…but boy is he fun to drink with! Meanwhile other countries are in the region are lining their ducks up. These cats know what the deal is. Their only differences are how shook they are of the West. Some are just trying to keep things cool and the rest seem to be on some, “Well come on then!” Of course our major concern is what is has to do with the price tea in china of oil. I’d be lying if I said that I don’t care about gas prices, but I do think it’s ri-god-damn-diculous to bomb Beirut for 7 days over roughly 10 lives. The biggest problem with all of this is that it’s not actually Lebanon that they have beef with. It’s like the Baltimore Police bombing D.C. cause of beef with some Bloods in North East. In the midst of all that the cops are saying look Mayor Williams you better make those bloods give us back our peoples…and watchout for falling bombs. Israel is like an abused child that is now in the protective custody of it’s rich, but unattentive uncle. He didn’t think that killing all those puppies was an issue…besides he’s so cute! If Israel doesn’t mind all this beef cause they can reference the Holocaust as worse why the hell would they care about innocents killed in their anger? Do they really care if they’re opening the door for Syria to come back into Lebanon? Do they care if they’re ripping the hinges off Pandora’s Box? Listen up Israel it was really messed up what happened to you guys in the past, but now you have those guys land and you can’t kirk out everytime a few of your boys get knocked off. It’s not like you were just sitting at home playing with your Dradle anyway. Chill the hell out cause you’re starting something to real for you to deal with. Despite my problems with my country I know that when you have real problems it’ll mainly be poor cats from places like where I grew up that get sent to deal with it…and die for it. Now for my readers is this from a movie or Israel:

I want this guy dead! I want his family dead! I want his house burned to the ground! I want to go there in the middle of the night and piss on his ashes!

I’ll understand if you’re having a hard time guessing.
