[ April 20, 2024 ]
The main bridges of London were just reinforced with large concrete blocks. Waterloo, Lambeth, Westminster, London Bridge … Everywhere the same scene. Enormous cubes to protect pedestrians from terror car attacks, which have sown death and panic in the British capital in the last two months.
The metropolis on the Thames thus becomes acquainted with an Israeli invention in its war against Islamic terrorism. From the cars launched on the passersby to the knife attacks against civilians, the Jewish State has been a laboratory for all the forms of terrorism that have been bleeding Europe in the last two years (52 dead only in 2017, with a successful or attempted attack every 9 days). The State of Israel offers Europe the only positive model of a liberal democracy overcoming Islamic terrorism.
In 2008, during the “sacred” month of Ramadan, the first Palestinian vehicle was launched into the crowd in Jerusalem. Since then, Israel’s capital has spent half a million dollars to erect these concrete blocks at three hundred bus and tram stations (300 knife attacks and 44 cars in the Third Intifada). A few days ago, British Prime Minister Theresa May gave a typical “Israeli” speech, in which she said that to fight against terrorism, the UK is ready to clean up some laws on the protection of “human rights.” In Israel, the most famous incarnation of this is the so-called “administrative detention.” In case of an imminent threat, it allows the Israelis to arrest someone without charge for an indefinite period, without informing the suspect of the reasons for his imprisonment.

But before the physical barriers to protect the civilians at airports, pedestrian areas, buses and malls, Europe must identify the enemy, as Israel did. It is a matter of state of mind that Europe has not yet done so. Europe must abandon appeasement. That is the first deterrence, in which the West says to the Muslim supremacists: “You will not win, we will never live under Sharia.” As Israel told them: “You will not win, we will not turn Israel into Palestine.” In Europe, terror sites become shrines for secular pilgrimages. All these candles and vigils make the terrorists more willing to strike the “infidels.” In Israel, the opposite happens: after an attack, the Israeli Jews mourn and then go ahead, more willing to destroy their own enemies.
Europe should also fight ISIS in Syria and Iraq, keeping them busy there, as Israel is doing along all its borders. Terrorist attacks in Europe are already pushing NATO to increase cooperation with Israel. Jens Stoltenberg, NATO’s Secretary General, should visit Israel in the coming months and meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Counselors.
Israel was the first country to face suicide terrorism in its streets, long before New York or Manchester. Israel was the first country whose airline passengers were taken hostage. The Pentagon copied Israeli tactics used during the Intifada to fight the Islamic urban guerrillas in Iraq and Afghanistan. Israel paved the way for the use of helicopters for targeted operations and drones, both used by the United States against terrorist cells in Pakistan and Yemen. Israel is also the first country in the world with an operating system capable of knocking down incoming enemy missiles.
In Europe, religious and ethnic profiling is forbidden due to political correctness, and this must change. At the Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv, considered the safest in the world, all passengers awaiting check-in are questioned by security agents asking questions about their trip, detecting nervousness or inconsistent statements. If the responses rise some suspicion, the passenger is selected for further screening, which may involve hours of interrogation and exhaustive search of his luggage. Europe should adopt that method. There is another lesson coming from Israel: zero tolerance for incitement, the software of Islamic terrorism. Words kill. Israel also rejected the suicidal multiculturalism Europe is embracing.
Europe must also stop dealing with terrorists as if these were mere criminals. Europe must be strong and sacrifice some human rights to defeat terrorism. There are no free meals in the war against Jihadism. That is how Israel has minimized the damage, passing from 150 deaths in 2002 to 15 deaths per year today. There is no way to fight terrorism by making the innocents pay the price. It is morally important to show the Islamic supremacists that you are fighting them in Rotherham as well as Raqqa.
At this moment, in the skies of Afghanistan, the NATO countries are using Israeli drones to fight against the Taliban and the Islamic State. Let’s hope that the experience and the value of Israel will also help to prevent the collapse of the London Bridge, where the first Roman garrisons stationed, where the works of Shakespeare were recited and which for many generations symbolized the bridge of the Western civilization.
A Europe waging war against Israel will become Eurabia. An Europe embracing the Jewish State will continue to be itself. Unfortunately, it looks as if Europe is choosing the first suicidal way.

Israel seems to mostly want to survive as a nation.
Europe has been in the process of cultural and demographic suicide since the 2nd world war and is unlikely to adopt many or even any of the Israeli techniques of survival. What better way to commit suicide than to simply allow an invasion and the imposition of sharia?

At the rate things in western europe are going, it will rot into the caliphate that characterizes the middle east. poverty, ignorance, and violence. All the while Israel prosers and strengthens because it knows what is good and what is evil. Too bad western europe is so stupid, it is the result of liberal socialism and the national irresponsibility and reliance on dogma that devastating cults like islam force on those who are unwilling to think.

Mahou I am Western European and believe me I cannot sleep well. In the early and mid 1990s I used to fight with muzzrats and it got me almost killed but moreover very depressed. Not because of the muzzrats but because of the European people around me. I gave up and just live my life until I am not here any more.

That is not true however most (Western) Europeans are so willingly blind or taught to be so. By all means I can blow myself up in the local mosque but what good will do that. Europeans are blind of the teachings of pislam and it only takes a good look in their so-called holy pisbook and some history. Just for the record I have been shot twice and stabbed three times by muzzrats. I am tired of them. Sometimes I think the only solution is throw the full nuke on them. And not only one because we have plenty and forget climate change for a change.

It is not if it is but many years back. What you say can be done but there is always a but. You cannot just take a simple muzzrat out somewhere in the middle of the London streets. And there comes the tricky thing because the treacherous political class in Western Europe is siding with them, meaning the muzzrats. But I take your point.

Muslims in the UK prefer mass attacks. Knowing the police are unarmed and that they’re not usually found in large numbers, they mostly focus on killing the greatest number of innocent civilians. They also take demonic pleasure in terrorizing innocent people on the streets who are unarmed and have no protection whatsoever from anyone.

No argument there. The citizens of the U.K. can still let their voices be heard, assuming they don’t like what’s happening to them. The would be terrorists know that if they try to do the same garbage in the U.S., there is a higher likelihood they would encounter a citizen who is armed. Unless of course, they are in a “safe city.”

There was a time, not long after 9/11 Pipo, that some in America were advocating thermonuclear strikes against Mecca and Medina. Hit Mecca and the Kaaba with a 10 MT H-bomb near surface burst and finish off Medina soon afterward.

There are so many other ways to attack those same pedestrians which wouldn’t be prevented with barricades. In fact the barricades might prevent the pedestrians from escaping another attack fast enough. Clean the nest instead of obstructing paths. Not dealing with the source will result in just the attacks morphing.

Part of the problem for Europe is the Jihad threat is seen as an ME problem,mostly aimed at Israel, and since they don’t like Jews or Israel try to frame the problem as one for Israel to deal with.
They’re too stupid to see that their next in line.
Appeasement is they’re first and only option, they are simply too scared to confront Islam.
They get what they deserve,no more,no less.
The European elector’s choose cowards,liars and thieves to lead them.
Enjoy.

Israel has the safest airline in the world El Al. I always feel safe when I fly on El Al. They have sky marshalls and the best security.

Israel knows how to handle terrorists. They don’t listen to the do gooders. There is so many reports of Muslims getting away with everything that I am afraid that it will become so common place that it won’t be reported and we will slide even faster under the Islamic control . When we finally take note of what has happened it will be too late and the Muslims will win. Our culture as we know it will be gone. I hope Israel survives

“Europe must … must be strong and sacrifice some human rights to defeat terrorism. There are no free meals in the war against Jihadism. That is how Israel has minimized the damage, passing from 150 deaths in 2002 to 15 deaths per year today.”
This is the only thing we DON’T want to emulate. While the Israelis may consider passing from 150 deaths in 2002 to 15 deaths per year today a thing to take pride in, it must be seen in context. They are completely surrounded by Islamic enemies. In this context it is indeed a considerable accomplishment.
Europe and North America, on the other hand, should never tolerate even 15 deaths per year. The goal must be 0. Most of Europe and North America countries are bordered by non-Muslim, friendly states. Certainly in England and here in North America, there is no reason to accept any level of deaths from Jihadism. Muslim populations are not indigenous to these areas. Any amount of mayhem or death caused by them is unacceptable. Our goal must be zero tolerance, in spite of what London’s mayor Sadiq Khan says about how they should accept that fact that in any modern metropolis some deaths are to be expected. Of course he would say that. He is a Muslim. He is part of the problem rather than part of the solution.
