Hey Israel! Take your head out of your TUCHUS!

Well...I knew it, as many of us were celebrating freedom and liberty on the Fourth of July, once again the cloud of stupidity hovers over The Government of Israel, in particular that of the Defense Minister of Israel, Ehud Barak. There's simply no excuse for why Israel has not responded as a direct result from continuous Palestinian violations regarding the recent cease-fire Israel and the Palestinian Terrorists signed. Sadly, Israel is not militarily capable of dealing with the Palestinian Terrorists, however, Israel can seal off every crossing point from Gaza to Israel, and prevent the flow of a single food product from entering Gaza. Effectively, the Palestinians should be suffering caloric deficiencies until they understand why cease-fire agreements should not be violated. Yet, after each potential deadly attack against Israeli Civilians, Defense Minister Barak closes the crossing for a day and re-opens them afterwards. It's not a bad deal...for each rocket the Palestinians fire, they miss dinner, that's the extent of the Israeli Response. Are you dumbfounded? I am!

Since the implementation of the cease-fire between Israel and the Palestinian Terrorists in Gaza, the Palestinians have violated the cease-fire including today's mortar attack at the Karni Junction, over 8 times already. Is anyone really shocked? Anyone who has a basic elementary understanding of Islam, know that under Islamic Law or Sharia, a cease-fire between a non-Muslim enemy is simply a chance to re-arm and re-organize for another fight. In fact, the Palestinian Terrorists are initiating a tactic that is totally permissible under Islamic Law, and yet the Government of Israel and perhaps the UN appear to be the only institutions on Planet Earth that believe the Palestinian Terrorists will actually abide by the cease-fire agreement.

One has to ask themselves, how many kassam and katyusha attacks does Israel need to continue to suffer until she finally recognizes that the cease-fire even before it was carried into action was non-existent? What's the magic number of rockets until the Israeli Army is given the green light to militarily eliminate the Hamas? However, the message is far worse than Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's indecisiveness. The message is that the Israeli Army has still not recovered from the trauma of the Second Lebanon War, and in fact its commanders are not totally confident in their own capability to physically destroy the Hamas. Effectively, if Israel were to to launch a massive military operation into Gaza, anything but the total elimination of the Hamas as an effective fighting force would be seen as another tactical defeat for Israel and a victory for Iran who is the patron supporter of both Hamas and Hizbullah in Lebanon.

Therefore, in order for the army and the government to effectively coordinate their efforts to the looming military confrontation, new elections must be called immediately. New political energy within the Knesset and the Cabinet is the only way to both politically and militarily take on the Hamas. Israelis will not allow, Ehud Olmert, the most corrupt politician in Israel's history, and Ehud Barak, the most misguided former Prime Minister of Israel to once again throw away the lives of Israel's brave soldiers without actually completing the mission.

Once a new government has been installed in Jerusalem, the army must be given a deadline to be fully ready for a military operation. If the commanders prove to be incompetent as they were during the Second Lebanon War, the new Prime Minister, must not hesitate to fire and replace commanders who are not only willing but capable in leading their men to prevent the mass confusion, the massive logistics failures and overall collapse of command and control that symbolized the Israel Defense Forces in her last war.

At the end of the day, whether there will be a new cease-fire or additional withholding of food and clothing from entering into the Palestinian Terrorist Areas, what is for sure is that a military confrontation is only a matter of time not a matter of question. So, g-d willing normal Israelis will take their heads out of their tuchus, demand new elections, and vote for the only politician in Israel who is actually capable of leading Israel to destroy the Hamas, Binyamin Netanyahu.
