Awake Goy Renegade Editor’s Note: Israel does not have borders, as it won’t define them. Its goal is Greater Israel so it keeps expanding like a cancer, stealing land from the indigenous population and walling them into a giant concentration camp. If the inmates even come close to the walls of their prison, they are mowed down en masse.

Opinion writer Shmuel Rosner wrote Friday in the New York Times that he has no qualms about Israel killing dozens of Palestinian protesters and feels “no need to engage in ingénue mourning.”
From The New York Times:
TEL AVIV — It is customary to adopt an apologetic tone when scores of people have been killed, as they were this week in Gaza. But I will avoid this sanctimonious instinct and declare coldly: Israel had a clear objective when it was shooting, sometimes to kill, well-organized “demonstrators” near the border. Israel was determined to prevent these people — some of whom are believed to have been armed, most apparently encouraged by their radical government — from crossing the fence separating Israel from Gaza. That objective was achieved.
Of course, the death of humans is never a happy occasion. Still, I feel no need to engage in ingénue mourning. Guarding the border was more important than avoiding killing, and guarding the border is what Israel did successfully.
[…]The Jewish sages had a famous, if not necessarily pleasant, saying that went something like this: Those who are kind to the cruel end up being cruel to the kind. As harsh as this sounds amid the scenes from Gaza, as problematic as this seems to good-intentioned people whose instinct is to sympathize with the weaker side in every conflict, sometimes there is no better choice than being clear, than being firm, than drawing a line that cannot be crossed by those wanting to harm you. By fire, if necessary.
Incidentally, the Times said back in January that the notion America can defend its borders is a “myth.”
