Why We Chose Us by Sultan Knish written Jan. 14, 2009

There are essays you read,, that you remember, and save, to take out and read again.

This is one of those essays,, from my amazing friend, THE Sultan Knish.

I remember when I read this, the emotions I felt, and it made me think for days after.

I want to share it again, with all my new readers, because,, this says it all for anyone, who wants to remain FREE.

Support Israel,, any way you can,, they are OUR "canary in the coal mine".

If that tiny FLAME of freedom, that is Israel,, is snuffed out,, our own future,
is not far behind, to be consumed by INSANE hatred, emanating from the east.

Heed what "the Knish", tells you, he does not lie,,

Why We Choose Us


Posted: 14 Jan 2009 08:31 PM CST


(If there is to be PR when
fighting terrorism, let it be as simple and plain as
this.)


Why We Choose Us





When rockets fall on Israeli towns, the press doesn't run over to describe the
carnage in loving detail or splatter photographs of gore across the
evening news. The International Red Cross makes no condemnations, the UN has nothing to say, and the usual suspects who cry out against war crimes
when we defend ourselves-- are silent as stones.



That is why we choose us. Because no one else will. The lesson
we have learned is that if we do not care for our children, no one else
will. If we do not protect them, no one else will lift a hand to do it for
us.

The grandfathers and fathers of the "People of Gaza" twice
invaded us together with the armies of several Arab nations to wipe us off
the face of the earth. They failed. Today their children are trying to
help Iran finish the job they started. The world once again chooses them.
The world wails over their suffering. The world demands that we let our
children die, so that theirs may live to kills us. We refuse. We choose
us.

It is the right of every nation to defend itself against
enemies at home and abroad. That right of self-defense will not be
abridged because the left has decided that Israel has less right to exist
than an Iranian backed theocracy that just brought back crucifixion. When
Al Queda attacked America, the left chose the Taliban. When Hamas bombed
Israel, the left chose Hamas. So be it. We are under no obligation to bow
our heads to the moral judgment of the ideological grandchildren of Marx,
Lenin and Noam Chomsky. To hell with them and to hell with all their
progeny. We choose us.

It is the right of every people to refuse to
be slaughtered, to care about their own first, and to defend their own
first. You may call this selfish, we call it survival. A nation exists
because it chooses not to be conquered, instead choosing the deaths of the
enemy over slavery and genocide. A family exists because a man chooses to
protect his family from all those who would harm them. All morality must
have a base. Yours is in class warfare, ours is in the family. We choose
our family, we choose their lives over the intruders who would slaughter
us in the name of greed and the maddened fanaticism that turned the once
thriving Middle East, cradle of the world's civilizations, into dusty
deserts, hovels and torture chambers. We choose us.

We did not
force Hamas to barrage our towns and villages with rockets. We did not
force them to begin this war, but we are nonetheless determined to end it
in the way that all wars end, with the destruction of the
aggressor.

We regret that Hamas has chosen to fight a war in the
streets of their own cities. But that is their choice. And if their
civilian population is devastated for it, it stems from their choice of
terrain, not ours. If you begin a war in your own kitchen, you should
expect to have it blown up. If you hide behind the bodies of your
children, do not be surprised when you have to bury them. And do not
expect us to mourn or stay our hand, because our enemy has demonstrated
such ruthlessness that he is willing to use his own children to fight
their battles. Such tactics did not save Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan or
Saddam Hussein's Iraq. They will not save Hamas.

We will not let
our children die, because the enemy uses his own as a shield in a war he
has started. If it comes to that, we again choose us. The world may roar
in protest, and we acknowledge that it is justified so long as when their
cities and towns are shelled, that they will seek futile ceasefire after
ceasefire, rather than fight back. And if indeed they do so, that form of
suicide is their choice. Not ours. We choose to live. We choose to fight.
We choose us.

We choose to live. We choose not to put our hopes in
illusion or let a billion screeching voices dissuade us from doing our
duty toward our own kith and kin. We chose to build a nation out of dust
and rebuild generations lost in fields of ash and dirt. We built towns and
cities out of swamps, we raised crops, we raised children, we built a
future. And we will protect that future whatever else others may say. This
is our land we will fight for it because it is our land, the land of our
fathers and the land of our children. As our ancestors chose to lift the
sword and the bow, rather than to bow before the Greek idol, we choose the
rifle and the knife, rather than to bend our knees to the totems of
liberalism. We will fight and we will prevail, because we choose to do it,
unambigiously and unapologetically. We choose our future. We choose
us.
