"In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."
- Martin Luther King Jr.


Wretchard T. Cat:
"Most people have been brought up to be civil to a fault, to avoid making a public spectacle at all costs and in extremis to walk away rather than be openly disagreeable. This is a civic virtue in a high trust society.
But in a tribal society the rules are different."


Reading about the NYPD "Sheltering" in Grand Central Station with the pro-Hamas mob baying outside and the French government caving to the Islamists and demanding that Israel stop hunting the monsters who hide behind women and children and under a hospital after they murdered babies in the most depraved ways imaginable I wondered what would happen if people did resort to vigilantism and if the Israelis did use their own clandestine forces to destroy the sanctuaries their enemies have formed in societies no longer able to defend themselves?

Hamas, which is part of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), is engaged in Insurrection and Invasion. It is not a Law Enforcement problem but a military threat that uses women and children as strategic and tactical assets.

Radical mob insurrections in the Arab world have been marked by savagery and butchery. In 1958 KIng Faisal II of Iraq, the cousin of King Hussein of Jordan the father of the current king of Jordan, was deposed by a secular coup. The king and his family and his Prime Minister were killed, their bodies were mutilated and desecrated and dragged through the streets. In 2011 Islamists chanting "God is Great" sodomized Muammar Gadaffi with a bayonet before shooting him.

The MB is banned in Egypt and Jordan and in many other countries. The population of Gaza overwhelmingly support Hamas. While it was flawed the election of 2006 did result in a win for Hamas. In 2007 the coalition with the PA broke down and in a civil war Hamas seized control of Gaza. Since then they have ruled through terror and used Gaza as a platform for attacking Israel, and threatening the government of Egypt and the PA on the West Bank. The have refined using the plight of the population that they have caused to extort aide from the Israelis that they attacking. Aide which is then diverted to enable a greater military threat. All opposition has beenkilled or expelled and the population by all reports is both dependant on and supportive of Hamas.

The governments of Egypt and Jordan are determined to keep the population of Gaza in place and out of their countries. This is not due to an attachment to the Geneva Conventions prohibiting displacing civilians that have been routinely ignored in other cases. The insistance that they remain in Gaza, where they have and will launched not just military attacks but terrorism of unspeakable sadistic horror, is due to their determination not to expose their nations to the same horror. They believe with good reason that if they admit the population of Hamas and its supporters then they, the leaders of Egypt and Jordan and their supporters, will die and that their people will be subject to a bloody tyranny.

What will happen if the Hamas terror is met by terror and identified perpetrators and supporters of violence against Jews are killed? Would the NYPD vigorously pursue the cases? Would the federal government flood the city to protect the Muslim community, and impose restrictions on Jews? What if the violence escalated and 200,000 Muslims, open Hamas supporters and women and children, declare that NYC is not safe for them and they begin marching en masse across the George Washington Bridge to New Jersey? If those people were to be permitted to enter NJ then all of the cultural social and legal protections would be swept away and a sharia compliant system would replace it.

Who would stop them and How?
