Rudyard Kipling"
“When you're left wounded on Afganistan's plains and
the women come out to cut up what remains, Just roll to your rifle
and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier”
General Douglas MacArthur"
“We are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.”
“It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.” “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.
“The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.”
“May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .” “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
“Nobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass
"Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint."
I've had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said
And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."
Israel: Muslim stabs two Israelis in store next to Jerusalem Central Bus Station
Tuesday, September 14, 2021
Jihad Watch : Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s Daoud Shehab said: “Acts of resistance
are a legitimate right of the Palestinian people, and we bless and
support this jihadist act.” “This jihadist act.” Yet analysts of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
will continue to ignore the theology of Islamic jihad and the key role it plays in the conflict.
“Terror in Jerusalem: 2 injured in stabbing attack at Central Bus Station,” by Tzvi Joffre, Jerusalem Post, September 13, 2021:
בשעה 15:20 התקבל דיווח במוקד 101 של מד"א במרחב ירושלים על 2 פצועים מדקירה ברחוב יפו סמוך לתחנה המרכזית בירושלים. חובשים ופראמדיקים של מד"א מעניקים במקום טיפול רפואי ל 2 פצועים כבני 25 במצב בינוני. עדכון בהמשך. pic.twitter.com/LHnxvOsNq7
Two Israeli men were moderately injured in a stabbing
attack at a store next to the Jerusalem Central Bus Station in Jerusalem
on Monday. Two female Border Police patrol officers at the scene shot
and wounded the terrorist. The attacker was identified as 17-year-old Basil Shawamra from the
village of Deir al-Asal al-Fauqa near Hebron in the southern West Bank.
Two additional suspects were detained…. The attacker underwent surgery at Shaare Zedek after resuscitation attempts.
Gantz wished the victims a speedy recovery and praised the Border
Police officer who shot the terrorist, as well as the IDF soldiers who
thwarted a terrorist attack earlier in the day at the Gush Etzion
junction. Magen David Adom paramedic Shlomi Pinchas described the scene in the
capital’s thoroughfare, saying: “We arrived at the scene and there was a
big commotion. The two wounded were lying conscious and suffering from
stab wounds. We provided them with advanced medical care in the field
that included bandages, stopping the bleeding and medication, and
quickly evacuated them to the hospital as they were in moderate
condition.”…
Hamas praised the stabbing attack on Monday, saying: “The escalation
of stabbings in occupied Jerusalem, the shootings, the increasing
confrontations of popular anger in the West Bank and the demonstrations
in Gaza, come within the framework of the freedom intifada launched by
our Palestinian people in solidarity with the heroic prisoners and
confronting the brutality of the occupation against them.
“Sustaining the clash with the Zionist occupation and escalating the
pace of operations with various means and tools is the best option to
confront the Zionist occupation and force it to stop its crimes against
our people and our prisoners in the occupation prisons,” the terrorist
group said. Palestinian Islamic Jihad spokesman Daoud Shehab also responded to
the terrorist attack on Monday afternoon, saying: “The commando
operations in Jerusalem and the West Bank reflect the extent of the
rising popular anger as a result of the aggressive policies of the
occupation against the prisoners.”
Shehab warned that Israel would “pay a price for its arrogance,”
adding that, “Acts of resistance are a legitimate right of the
Palestinian people, and we bless and support this jihadist act and
salute all the revolutionaries in Jerusalem, the West Bank and
everywhere – and we affirm that resistance is the most capable approach
to deterring the occupation.” The attack came just hours after an attempted stabbing attack at the
Gush Etzion junction, in which IDF soldiers stopped a terrorist who
attempted to stab them. That attacker was also taken to Shaare Zedek
Medical Center with gunshot wounds to his hand.
