Still, Israel does wield violence with care. All this worship over the dead comes from people who have no idea of what modern warfare can be like. It’s almost like they are begging the Hamas types to keep going so that one day they too can know what some of us still remember: cities with tens of thousands dead in a night.

As for numbers on the streets of Canada today: modern people, as they become modern, become less and less devoted to any centralized public scene and more and more involved in the many scenes of our private and productive lives. It will take a lot for most Canadians to see the evil that is parading in public in idiotic self-righteousness as a reason for them too to get involved in the dangerous business of focussing mass attention on a central scene of combat. For now, most just choose to ignore the ethical and intellectual simpletons. They are happy if a few people like Narvey do what has to be done in putting icons of freedom out for those who need such models. There comes a time when we do have to leave our private lives and defend one or another’s freedom in public. But the very nature of freedom is that we become resistant to those who engage in tired old street rituals in the name of showing anger. Marching for more martyrs, more death, in the cause of refusing to acknowledge and come to terms with the reality of Israel, all the while saying you are for peace? Most just want to ignore that kind of idiocy.

How else to explain that the leading politicians support Israel, as rational and free men do, yes men who can still see the horror of the violence, while there are these Hamashole mobs on the streets? Must be some kind of Jewish-Yankee conspiracy, eh? There couldn’t be any kind of good argument for it, could there?

My view is, anyone who claps for Gaza’s death-cult rocketeer “government” must really hate Palestinians, given that Hamas can never deliver them independence, self-government, peace or prosperity, and in fact does not want to — what Hamas wants is sharia and Jew-killing. They ain’t *secretive* about it, either, NumbNutsName; so when I see you advocating for ‘em in Robson Square, I won’t “counter-demonstrate” — I’ll just suck back a coffee on the sidelines, and mark you down as a public anti-Arabite.

We seldom get a thousand people at our weekly meetings. There’s still hope.

Hitting the street with your contingent of two “counterprotestors” are we?

On the other hand, I did see around a thousand happy and joyous people attending a rally for Life.

I always laugh when I think of “Robert Fisq.” That dhimmi doesn’t get it, any more than the Anglican dhimmi in attendance last evening spinning dhimmi cob-webs. Faasiq.!? I laugh.

Not quite true. Looked at a map, lately? Why not protest the Egyptians for keeping their side of the border closed? That might raise some uncomfortable questions about the Egyptians wanting to close off the border to Islamic extremists that pose a threat to their own government.

In any case, the border wouldn’t be an issue if Hamas rocket fire ended. When the violence stops, the international community can take Israel to task for not tearing down its walls and forts. In the meantime, a militarized border at least keeps the suicide bombers out, even if it can’t stop the rockets.
