    STOP THE RALLIES! ARM THE PALESTINIANS !

     

    STOP THE WAR ! ARM THE PALESTINIANS.

    Israel continues to pound the Gaza Strip in an effort to stop the militants from shooting missiles and rockets into Israeli cities. In the past week over 400 rockets have been launched into Israeli cities with one aim, to kill Israeli civilians. Israel launched a military effort in response to those rocket attacks.

     

     

    Around the world, from New York's Times Square to London and France people have been protesting Israel's military operation to root out the terrorists in the Gaza Strip and to destroy their rocket and missile caches. Israel has also been bombing the tunnels used to smuggle in those rockets and missiles so that the supply chain can be effectively disabled.

    Protesting accomplishes nothing. Israel will continue to defend itself against enemy rocket launches the same way the U.S. defended itself against the enemy invasion we call 9/11. Every country has an army and defends itself against enemy rockets and should they land immediately retaliates. Israel retaliates after 400 rockets not 1 rocket.

    How do we accomplish what the protestors want to accomplish ? ARM THE PALESTINIANS !

     

     

    Simply put, if we wish for the war to stop, we need to accomplish two things. We need the Palestinians to stop launching rockets and sending suicide bombers into Israel. We also need Israel to stop military operations into the Gaza Strip.

     

     

    We can accomplish both of those in one easy step. Certainly a lot easier than standing in the freezing cold for hours holding signs.

     

     

    ARM THE PALESTINIANS! Now, I don't mean go out there and ship them AK-47's and bombs. That would certainly hurt our image and it would cause escalations in violence, which I assume the protestors do not condone on either side.

     

     

    Arm them with love, knowledge and ability to sustain themselves, something their Arab brethren, who are worth billions from our oil purchases, have neglected to do.

     

     

    As zeek9626 added correctly "we need to arm the Palestinians with responsible leadership."

     

     

    If you care enough about the Palestinians to demonstrate, then put your money where your mouth is and either support them financially through armgaza@gmail.com or adopt one of the 1.5 million Palestinians who live in Gaza. We can help you adopt an individual or a family.

     

     

    Begin by donating $100 per week to sustain an individual or $500 per week to sustain a family. We will arm them with love and teach them not to hate as the local Imam's teach them in their schools. Instead, let us teach them to love, to learn a trade and to earn a living. The Israeli's did it. When they came to Israel it was a wasteland of rocks. They turned it into farmland and a global hub of technology. We can help the Gaza Palestinians do the same.

     

     

    Even better, if you want to house a Gaza Palestinian and reduce the cramped conditions they live in, we will help you begin the legal proceedings to adopt them and bring them to the United States to live in your home. I am sure you would love to have a peaceful Gaza Palestinian in your home. After all the only reason they are violent is because they are oppressed by the Israeli's. Isn't that right ?
