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."
Lebanon and Kuwait ban Israeli actress Gal Gadot’s new movie because she served in the IDF By Christine Douglass-Williams

Arabs jealous of Gal Gadot
Jihad Watch : It is mandatory for every Israeli over 18 to serve in the army
(Israeli Arabs have a choice to opt out). Why? Because Israel has been
under the threat of jihadist obliteration since the day of its birth.
Even before that, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Mohammed Amin
al-Husseini, lead the Arab Revolt to keep Jews out of the region.
Gadot’s tweet below led to a firestorm back in May during Operation Guardian of the Walls, when Israel was left with no other alternative but to defend its citizens from a barrage of Hamas rocketfire:
To Israel’s antagonists, Israel does not deserve to live “as a free and safe nation.”
In their view, Israel only deserves to be obliterated, as documented in
the charter of every major Palestinian organization, and as is evident
from the attack on Israel by surrounding Arab nations on the day of its
birth. Those nations were of one accord….
“It will be a war of annihilation.
It will be a momentous massacre in history that will be talked about
like the massacres of the Mongols or the Crusades.” — Azzam Pasha, Secretary-General of the Arab League, October 11, 1947
Islamic antisemitism is rooted in Islam,
and it spreads under the guise of opposing the State of Israel because
of its status as an “occupying,” “apartheid” state, regardless of the
falsity of these claims.
“‘Death on the Nile’ banned in two Middle East countries over Gal Gadot’s Israeli military service,” by Jesse O’Neill, New York Post, February 12, 2022:
Israeli movie star Gal Gadot’s new
Hollywood film will reportedly not appear on the big screen in Lebanon
and Kuwait due to her connection to the Israel Defense Forces. “Death on the Nile” was being released in the rest of the Middle East over the weekend, according to Deadline.
Gadot,
36, served in the Israeli armed forces for two years, as is required of
all young Israelis, before she entered show business. It’s
not the first time the former Miss Israel’s nationality has caused
controversy as tensions persist between the two warring nations. Lebanon
also blocked her “Wonder Woman” films over her IDF ties.
The
ban was in accordance with a law that boycotts Israeli products and
bars Lebanese citizens from traveling to Israel or having contacts with
Israelis.
Kuwait banned “Death on the Nile” after a barrage of
protests on social media, according to The Daily Mail, which cited the
Arabic language newspaper Al-Qabas….
