Israel must defeat the terrorists and fundamentalists Print E-mail
Wednesday, 26 July 2006

When a nation is up in battle against a people who have no value for human life, they should be given a maximum dose of the violence they love to inflict on others measure for measure. As Israel wages this decisive battle against ideological brutes and forces of darkness, all men of goodwill should pray for the nation of Israel to prevail.

Israel is engaged in battle against a group of genocidal religious extremists who neither believes in dialogue, nor have any value for human life. All over the world the same Islamic ideologues are bent on wiping out those they perceive as infidels. In India recently an Islamic group whose mission is to turn India into an Islamic state set off a series of bombs in a train killing almost 300 people. In Sudan an Arab Islamic fundamentalist regime is engaged in an ongoing genocide against the black Sudanese population. At the last count close to 1 million black Sudanese have been killed by the Arab Janjaweed militia backed by the murderous Sudanese government.

Back home in Nigeria, we are all familiar with the frequent unconscionable massacres of Christians by the same group of subhuman ideological fanatics, who pounce on Christians at the slightest pretext, the last and most recent being because of a cartoon published in faraway Denmark. These Northern Nigerian fundamentalists are lucky Biafra was not actualised in the 60’s; they would have been getting exactly the same treatment from the Biafrans that Israel is currently giving to the Arabs.

Against this backdrop, I want to use this opportunity to thank the United States of America, the European Union, Ndigbo, and all men of goodwill for the unflinching support they have continued to give our beloved nation of Israel. I am especially gladdened by the news that Igbo youths have volunteered to go and   fight to defend the nation of Israel.

There are certain points that we need to note in pondering and seeking to understand why the massive force being employed by the state of Israel is justified. Hezbollah was the first to launch unprovoked attacks against the state of Israel, and Israel is only exercising their legitimate right to self defence. Hezbollah should have known that nobody has a monopoly over violence. Indeed those who dont go out to kill others, are exercising such restraint, not because they dont have the capacity to kill, but because of a higher level of civilisation, and a sacrosanct value for human life. However when unprovoked attacks are launched against even the most civilised folks, they will have no choice but to strike back, and as we have witnessed Israel does indeed have a vastly superior killing power.

Moving on from here, I suggest Israel should widen the scope of attacks to capture or kill Hezbollah fundamentalists and destroy their strongholds. An increasingly massive, relentless and sustained “Blitzkrieg” should be employed as troops advance in systematic  enveloping flanks from 4 or 5  strategic axis into Southern Lebanese Hezbollah strongholds, backed by a combination of  air strikes, self propelled multi barrelled artillery  guns, and  Tank shells. Cluster bombs and bunker destroyers should also be employed to destroy dug in Hezbollah bunkers. Saturation bombing and scorched earth policy should be employed to the maximum in order to achieve the “shock and awe” effect.  Willy nilly the resolve of Hezbollah faced by such overwhelming pounding will crash predictably in a few days bringing them to total defeat. God bless and protect Israel.

Lessons For Nigeria  

Christians and Southern Nigerians must get ready to defend their religion and civilisation by preparing to do what the Israeli’s are currently doing. Here in Nigeria we are also confronted with religious zealots, and Stone Age barbarians who do not have the ability to reason. For this group of subhuman brutes, human life is worth probably less than that of a chicken. It is foolhardy to assume that they will become civilised overnight and stop the killing of Christians. We can only hope to put a final stop to such killings if we  employ the same tactics that Israel has sufficiently employed, which most honestly is the only language such brutes understand and respect. We must prepare to defend our values, our civilisation and above all the dignity of man!

Are u advocating southern nigeria should carpet bomb the north? WAR CRIME mate. The only reason isreal are getting away with it is because they have the west on their side. Any other counter doing the say will result in an appearance before the war crimes tribunal.

I must say u dont know what u talking about.

This article is well intentioned but the author ignores the finer nuances of the situation. Certainly Israel has every right to defend herself especially when surrounded by unsympathetic nations however the indiscriminate use of force exacerbates the situation rather than ameliorate it. Lebanon is a moderate nation in the middle east with jews, christians and muslims living side by side. The new lebanese government has just recently been established and does not posess the requisite facilities to combat Hezbollah (the terrorist organization in question).

By firing rockets into towns in Lebanon thus killing innocent people caught in the crossfire, Israel risks turning a nation of moderates into terrorist sympathisers. Remember that the terrorists of today were nursed in the cradle of poverty and indiscriminate violence (this does not however justify their notorious actions). For peace to take root in the Middle East, nations such as the United States must show neutrality. Not everything Israel does is right and not every action by Arab nations is wrong. America and western countries cannot take sides and then poise as arbiters. Isreael should target hezbollah and all that wish to destro her but that can be done without indiscriminate force.

Your article fails to address many complex issues surrounding the situation
Israel currently finds itself in. While Israel has every right to defend itself,
the bombing of innocent civilians, UN observers, and the destruction of billions
of dollars worth of infrastructure (recently rebuilt after Lebanon's civil war) is
a recipe for creating new terrorists, not eliminating them. Has it occurred
to you that for the 11 Hezbollah terrorists Israel has killed, 350 innocent
Lebanese civilians have also died? Lebanon is a democratic country comprised
of Christians, Muslims, Jews and Druse, not a muslim theocracy. By destroying
Lebanon's major source of income (tourism), Israel may end up increasing
poverty, despair and extremism. A show of force is not the best way to win
hearts and minds which is what is necessary to defeat terrorists.

By the way, you might want to read up on the Stern Gang/Irgun, Jewish terrorist
groups that assassinated Brits and UN mediators in the 1940's to pave the way
for the state of Israel. They succeeded. We are living with the consequences.

It is unfortunate that you decided to write this piece at a time when reasonable, well informed and patriotic Nigerians are calling for mass education on this subject. These Nigerians are asking our governments to educate the people that the current face-off in the middle east is not a christian/muslim conflict.

Israel is a Jewish state. Indeed I gathered that we have more muslims than christians in Israel.

How you have managed to turn the matter to a christian/muslim affair beats my imagination. Perhaps if you have tied the American connection/ assistance to Israel to your theory it would have made some sense. And if that be the case, the question will be ; who is the aggressor? Shine your eyes. You are living in the past and in a world of fantasy.

Read Sabella's piece on this matter and get educated. Do you realise that USA is as I write sending relief materials to Lebanon and she is getting softer on the issue of ceasefire.

you definitely got this wrong and the Nigerian bit is counterproductive. At best it can be described as "invitation to treat". If you are waiting for Nigerian blood to be spilled this time around so that you can thump your chest and declare "we said so" you are mistaken.

Get latest information on the issue and edit your submissions. What are the latest moves in Syria and other parts of the region.

Nwobu and Obi na wah for you oh! I agree with e.w. I don't think you know what you are talking about. So attacking the North is the answer to our own problems in Naija? Please! When it's not as if you are age 15. How can you write something like this and believe that you have made sense?

Tanibaba,

As a Christian, let me say i agree entirely with you. As I posted in Jumoke's most eloquent article, it is fundamentalists like Mr Nwobu that make life difficult for us. The actions of Hezbollah and the disproportionate use of force by Israel does not validate either philosophy or religion rather it broadens the gulf between both sides and peace loving people all over the world
