The Second Holocaust: Hitler Returns

The Second Holocaust: Hitler Returns
I bet the title shocked you a little, maybe perhaps even rekindled your memories of the thousands of children that were starved, innocents naplam'd, women violated and millions killed. I bet you learn about it every time you stumble across the History Channel or during the recurring specials on World War 2. I am not here to say what was done to them was right or wrong. I am saying it was inhumane and the Allies, and the Red Army were quick to realize that. They risked their own lives in hopes of preventing a vicious ruler, inclined on capturing land and settling its soldiers in captured territories as a reward for their services, from future aggression. Now what if I told you, we have a second "Hitler" roaming with impunity doing all of what I just mentioned under the umbrella of dubious self-proclaimed rights to land and self-defense.
Let’s put race, religion, myths and rumors aside and talk numbers. I am going to give you a clear idea of how much damage both sides are capable of doing, what damages have been incurred and the media’s reaction.
Capabilities:
Democratically elected Palestinian resistance force or more commonly known as Hamas has an entire military arsenal of just rockets that technologically date back to the turn of the 20th century. The rockets carry just enough fuel to cover a km or two longer than your morning commute. In addition, the warheads carry firepower equivalent of your stock $200 fireworks that you would normally light off in your backyard on the 4th. They have no Army, no AirForce, no Special-Op teams and no Navy. Literally, DIY rockets are all they have to defend against the following. I’d source this from GlobalFirePower.com but Palestine is nonexistent on their power index.
Israel has 3.5 Million available manpower, 4000 Tanks, 10,000 Armored Fighting Vehicles, 800 Towed-Howitzer Sweeping Barrage Artillery units. In addition, they have 243 5th Gen Fighters, 143 Helicopters, 48 Attack Helicopters and 243 Fixed-Win Attack Aircraft (GlobalFirePower.com). Furthermore, 3 Destroyers, 14 Submarines and 66 Coastal Defense Crafts. Not to mention, the Iron Dome Defense System which is capable of shooting down projectiles way before they even enter Israeli air space (GlobalFirePower.com). To date, the Iron Dome Defense System has not missed a single one of the Palestinian DIY rockets. ..and yes, I haven’t forgotten about the 90-180 Nuclear Warheads
This sort of military ratio is equivalent of an ant brushing up against an elephant to which the elephant calls on 50 other behemoths to defend itself from the treacherous act of a little ant’s shoulder rub…
Damages:
Forget the major operations of 2008 and 2009 and recent events, simply covering the fatality ratios from 2000 to 2007 based off a special focus study by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs will give you an idea of who is really taking the heat.
In seven years, 5,848 people had been directly been reported killed regardless of their origin, nationality, gender, age, status as a civilian of combatant. I personally believe the number is grossly underrepresenting the actual number of fatalities due to the heavily disorganized and distracted hospitality and reporting system in crumbling Palestine. Overall, the study found that in the last 7 years, the fatalities amongst the civilians accounted for half of the total killed. There has also been growing evidence displaying a decline in the number of Israelis killed and a continuing high death rate for Palestinian adults and children. Pictures speak a thousand words and the following charts just nail the point I am trying to make here.
 
Media’s Reaction
As other news sources are hushing down the subject and distorting figures to make it seem like it’s a fair fight, I will give you the exact percentages of the actual number of casualties incurred and the reported figures for both Israelis and Palestinians.
In 2004 a study conducted by the IfAmericansKnew organization on The New York Times discovered that although the world’s most renown newspaper had covered the Israel and Palestine issue with well over 1000 stories, it distorted most of the facts and omitted critical information for its American readers. The New York Times should be guilty of setting inconsistent journalistic standards with patterns of distortion which gave the impression that the Israeli death rate was greater than it was, and that the Palestinian death rate was considerably smaller than its reality. This ultimately conflicts with the core principles of journalism of informing rather than misinforming readers and viewers.
 
Fox, ABC, MSNBC, and many other news broadcasting giants have always turned a blind eye on issues that don’t further their hidden agendas. The purpose of this article is for me to encourage you to dig deeper, do your own research and create awareness. There is strength in numbers and if we all do something about this, we will surely be able to put a stop to the freely roaming 21st century “Hitler”.
