“Sabre rattling.”

It would be sabre rattling if they didn’t have a track record of targetting, injuring and killing Israeli civillians. Inconveniently for you, they do have that track record. And it is part of their doctrine to continue to do so.

To sum up:

1. Their charter dedicates them to the annihilation of Israel.

2. Their activities are, and have been, consistent with their charter.

So no surprises there then.

As for the killing of children. All over the world, children are being killed. And in many places, it is much more cold-blooded than this, and the children are the target, not the collateral damage. They are killed in North Korea in the prison camps, because their parents fell foul of the regime. They are rounded up at night from the streets of Sao Paolo and taken away to be shot and dumped. They were targetted in Beslan. Catholic schoolgirls in Indonesia have been captured and beheaded by jihadists.

But that seems to be OK, because the truth is, the outcry is not about who is doing the dying. It is about who is doing the killing. How dare the Jews kill to defend their children.

Therefore, one must conclude there is no threat against Jews which Hasbara Buster will not rationalise.

I said there’s no indication of a Hamas PLAN (not words) to kill the Jews. Just like there are people who intend to commit genocide but don’t say so, like the Turks or the Nazis, there are also people who say they will commit genocide but don’t intend to.

An example is Azzam Pasha, Iraq’s foreign minister in 1948. He promised there would be a massacre of Jews comparable to the Mongols’ massacres. But did not go on to mass-murder even the Jews in his own country.

So we have a very real charter which calls for the extermination of Jews, supported by the advocates of suicde bombing and other war crimes.

From the Likud party’s charter:

The Jewish communities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza are the realization of Zionist values. Settlement of the land is a clear expression of the unassailable right of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel and constitutes an important asset in the defense of the vital interests of the State of Israel. The Likud will continue to strengthen and develop these communities and will prevent their uprooting.

The Government of Israel flatly rejects the establishment of a Palestinian Arab state west of the Jordan river.

The Palestinians can run their lives freely in the framework of self-rule, but not as an independent and sovereign state.

Yet I haven’t seen anyone at HP calling for the immediate expulsion of the Likud from the Knesset unless it ammends its undemocratic endorsement of the illegal settlements in the West Bank.

And then we have the Hasbara Buster running into a yob outside his house.

Yes, I for one can see how its exactly the same situation. An apt comparison indeed. One should not take these threats too seriously.

‘Sadly so long as such repulsive tactics have a sufficient ‘anti-imperialist’ gloss applied to them I fear there will always be British leftists who will seek to ‘understand’ and ‘explain’ such barbarism. Prove me wrong in the comments box.’

And Hasbara Buster failed.

Therefore, one must conclude there is no threat against Jews which Hasbara Buster will not rationalise.

To rationalise such threats of terror with pointes annacdotes from his own pointless life is a new low. Its almost as though the idiot wants us to believe we caught the terrorist on an off day.

Callum, why do you insist on making yourself look like a berk?

Have you read the Hamas Charter? If anything Hamas are more upfront than the Nazis were, with what they have in store for Jews.

Sabre rattling. There’s a difference between promising to do something and actually making a plan for it.

I once caught a drunk teenager with a spray-paint can scribbling graffiti on the hood of my car. I shouted at him “I’ll kill you!” I was lucky the boy was too young and too intoxicated; otherwise he could have sued me.

Frustration sometimes leads us to say horrible things.

I expect intelligence from some Israeli or American agency suggesting there’s a plan to murder all Jews for the sole reason of being Jewish. That’s what’s needed to make a comparison between Hamas and the Nazis.

A huge number of Jews fled France for Israel after a wave of anti-Semitic incidents in 2002. At this rate, Europe will be “judenfrei” in a few years. Meanwhile, the likes of Callum ignore what is happening under their noses with smug claims that “we’ve all learnt the lessons of the Holocaust.”

So apart from the actual threat itself, you expected detailed plans to be unveiled at a gala event at the O2 Arena?

No; I expect intelligence from some Israeli or American agency suggesting there’s a plan to murder all Jews for the sole reason of being Jewish. That’s what’s needed to make a comparison between Hamas and the Nazis.

Not just by my standards. By the standards of interntionally recognised humanitarian agreements. A bloody good thing, too.
