WASSUP

beckyloves:

When a sniper’s bullet struck Pfc. Colton Rusk, the first to reach his body was his best friend Eli – a bomb-sniffing, black Labrador so loyal he snapped at other Marines who rushed to his fallen handler.

The two were inseparable. Military dogs are supposed to sleep in kennels when deployed, but Rusk broke the rules and let Eli curl up with him on his cot. Other times, the dog took up the entire sleeping bag. Rusk ate ready-to-eat meals, so that’s what Eli ate instead of dog food, Darrell Rusk said.

“Whatever is mine is his,” Colton Rusk wrote on his Facebook page.

After Rusk died Dec. 6, his parents decided they wanted to adopt his dog. They picked Eli up Thursday at Lackland Air Force to take him back to their home in rural South Texas. It was only the second time that a U.S. military dog has been adopted by the family of a handler killed in combat.

all of the tears.

So I decided to make these two images to compare your typical Hamas rocket strike in Israel, to your typical Israeli missile strike in Gaza

• The first is of a Hamas rocket exploding in Israel. No damage, no shockwave, tons of smoke, and that’s it. This is because Hamas rockets do not even contain a warhead, and in order to sustain any sort of damage or injury, you must basically be hit DEAD on.
• The second is of an Israeli airstrike decimating a home in the Gaza strip.

The IDF claim that Hamas has launched around 800 rockets into Israel, with about 20% of them being intercepted by their Iron Dome missile defense system. They also claim that they have launched strikes on over 1000 targets in the Gaza Strip.

800 Hamas rockets - ~200 intercepted, leaves us with 600 rocket attacks on Israel, attacks carried out using mortars like those seen above.

Compare that to 1000 strikes launched by the Israeli “Defense” Forces, carried out using missiles like those seen above.

It doesn’t matter how “kind” the IDF is in warning Gazans to “flee” or to “seek shelter”, Israeli missiles will simply decimate anything and everything they come into contact with, and there is no place to hide.

Which is exactly why the argument people trying to excuse Israel’s behavior put forward that “they’re only retaliating against the missiles Hamas has been firing into Israel!” falls flat. There is absolutely no comparison as far as the scale of damage and lethality is concerned. NONE WHATSOEVER. Palestinian mortars have killed almost no one. Israel has the power to reduce Gaza to rubble without so much as breaking a sweat, and they’ve practically said themselves that this is their intention.

It’s like hurling 50 boulders at someone that tossed 3 pieces of gravel at you, and then claiming it was perfectly reasonable self-defense.

And then when you consider Israel’s other actions, like the deliberate withholding of medicine from entering Gaza (the same medicine that would normally be used to treat the injuries caused by bombardment of this intensity) and being distributed to the civilians, and there’s really VERY little you can say in a logical attempt to justify this bullshit.

On November 17, 2012, Yishai stated about Israel’s Operation Pillar of Defense in Gaza: “The goal of the operation is to send Gaza back to the Middle Ages. Only then will Israel be calm for forty years.” 

He also was quoted as saying “We must blow Gaza back to the Middle Ages, destroying all the infrastructure including roads and water.”

-Israeli Interior Minister and head of the Shas Party, Eli Yishai

• And does that mean I think Hamas and other, like-minded Palestinians are saintly defenders of human rights, themselves? Hell no. But this is just unacceptable. 
• Funny that America and Israel seem to be the only two countries who think otherwise.
