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."
Canada: Quebec man beaten with stick for not surrendering Israeli flag at Israeli Independence Day rally By Christine Douglass-Williams

Robert Spencer : This happened in the affluent suburb of Westmount, Montreal.
Antisemitic incidents are on the rise in Canada, to the degree that to
merely raise an Israeli flag carries a risk.
It is noteworthy, however,
that many raise Palestinian flags, and not only on al-Quds day, without
experiencing attacks. Take, for instance, the fact that in May 2021,
during Operation Guardian of the Walls, Palestinian flags could be seen in many neighborhoods. No one was attacked, or should have been.
Palestinian flags are also proudly raised at pro-Palestinian protests
and al-Quds day rallies, which are infamous for fueling the fires of
antisemitism. Despite inciting hatred, nothing is done. This attack in Westmount, Montreal, could have been by a Nazi sympathizer or a pro-jihad Islamic supremacist.
It is also difficult to tackle antisemitic hate crimes without
knowing who is perpetrating them most frequently. Yet for years now,
Western police generally do not release the names of perpetrators, especially when it is a Muslim name, to protect Muslims against “Islamophobia.”
