The extremists you always have with you

Shortly after the founding of the State of Israel, the Jewish state began Operation Magic Carpet in order to rescue Yemeni Jews who were being threatened with extinction from their Muslim neighbors. All told, before anyone was aware of it, Israel brought in almost 50,000 Yemenite Jews.
Not all Yemenite Jews came to Israel, however. Even today, a small population of about 500 Jews still lives in Yemen, as Jews have since the Roman era. Typically for Jews in Muslim communities, however, even this small, impoverished group is the target of Muslim extremists. While Muslims mostly leave the Jews alone (apparently finding 500 too small a group about which to worry), the extremists always feel it incumbent upon them to kill. I see Operation Margic Carpet, Part II in the near future.

America is the great nation that it is because such things as the Alamo were avenged, regardless of the cowardice displayed at the time to refuse support to the Alamo. We did not, as a nation nor as a people, simply retreat to some “line” across the sand further away from the enemy. We, instead, launched offensive strikes designed to destroy the enemy’s ability to wage war. That, however, includes siege and destruction of infrastructure, as consistent with Total War philosophy. Israel, however, prefers surgical strikes because they don’t want to adopt Nazi tactics. But in the end, they are only allowing more Nazis to be created for fascists don’t go away when you run away from them .They only go away when you kill them and kill them in the boat load at that.
Kindness to wolves is cruelty to sheep.
Kindness towards evil is cruelty towards the innocent. That’s why justice is so important, and is required for civilization to thrive.
It is also why traitors must die.
