Justice is a beautiful thing.

Posted on November 1, 2011 by KG

‘..Fatah, the corrupt, old line Palestinian party that controls the West Bank is upset at the growing revenge attacks by Israeli settlers. This is something new. For decades, the settlers could be depended on to be passive after a Palestinian attack, letting the Israeli police and military look for the culprit. But now the settlers are increasingly launching “price tag” counterattacks. The price tag refers to what the Palestinians must suffer for every attack on Israelis. This is vigilante justice, and it does more damage to Palestinians than Israeli police efforts to catch and prosecute Palestinian attackers. The Palestinians are not accustomed to this kind of swift payback, and they do not like it. Israel is under pressure to crack down more vigorously on the vigilantes…‘  source

    My heart bleeds – those poor victimised Palestinians [sic]. How dare those nasty Israelis defend themselves or, heaven forbid, exact justice on their attackers.

    The Palestinians [sic] should send the Israeli government the bill for all the counselling they’ll no doubt require to mend their “damaged” psyches. Excuse me a moment while a shed a little tear …

    The concept of “justice’ in the modern nation state is an insult to the victims of crime.
    How many serious offenders were released to secure Shalit? How many of them will go on to commit more crime against Israelis?
    And it’s the same in the west, probation ,parole,bail,human rights………
    but where are the rights of the law abiding?

    If we had back the right we have had taken from us….that is, to exact instant revenge on those who harm us and our loved ones, then there’d be a damn sight less violence in the world.
    I’d willingly trade the protection of the police and courts–which is no protection at all against violence–for the restoration of the right to look after my own security.

      Exactly, they only offer a vague hope of delayed and paltry justice at some point after you’ve been beaten up, shot and/or killed.

      I got this from that Reuters article.

      “Un-Jewish, illegal, immoral and (it) brings heavy shame upon us,” Peres, a Nobel peace prize laureate, said.

      And how many times did he rush out to waffle about shame and legality when Israeli children and babies were butchered like pigs by palestinian savages?

      “Peres’s visit was a sign of Israeli concern that any future torching of mosques inside Israel could inflame its Arab citizens, who have long complained of discrimination.”

      Amazing isn’t is, there are actual mosques inside Israel and muslims living in Israel. Can a synagogue expect to survive in muslim countries, can Jews hope to live freely in muslim countries.

      Israel will be hated and despised so long as it chooses to be nice to these savages.

    The rest of the article also points out exactly where to lay the blame for private citizens who are forced to take [back] the law into their own hands – because, through political correctness, the state no longer protects its citizens:

    But a strange thing happened on the way to the 21st century: political correctness as imposed by a variety of lawyers, human rights activists and the like progressively reduced the power of the state to defend its population against external aggressors to the point where it failed to provide an adequate level of protection. When private individuals could no longer rely on uniformed officialdom to protect them, they did the natural thing. They took the matter of warfare back into their own hands.

    But along with the advantages of vigilanteeism came its drawbacks. Reuters reports that some settler groups are burning mosques on the West Bank. That may be regrettable, but is also inevitable. For in doing away with the Westphalian system, political correctness unintentionally — or perhaps unthinkingly — undermined the Laws of War. The whole panoply of uniforms, ranks, discipline and obedience — so hated by pacifists — were all Westphalian mechanisms designed to ensure some kind of law and order on the battlefield. By taking the armies out of the game, the disciples of political correctness didn’t end war; they merely ended the old rules of war and returned the field to private warfare.

    [emphasis mine]

    And that blame must be laid firmly at the feet of the Cultural Marxists who have undermined everything which used to uphold the [primary] role of government to protect its citizenry.

    Good on the settlers……and I hope the Israeli security apparatus is quietly giving them intel and equipment. :twisted:

    Good on them for finally taking the gloves off and fighting back in a way the savages can understand.
