Scientific Approach to Arab-Israel Conflict.
by
Steve Shamrak.
For centuries, with the exception of the
Dark Ages, scientists and the intellectual elite have been considered as a
vanguard of humanity. They are a leading force not just of technical or medical
advance, but have greatly influenced and contributed to the political and
social fabric of the society. All of this is achieved by dedication of their lives
to their chosen fields, usually with no or little personal involvement in
politics.
The recent phenomenon whereby celebrities
such as Hollywood stars, between drug rehabilitation clinics and plastic
surgery, express their unqualified views about anything, particularly politics,
and influencing public opinion using their celebrity status has become
contagious. Unfortunately this trend is spreading and seriously affecting
Israeli scientists and intellectuals who are craving for acceptance and
recognition by the wider fatuous politically correct and generally anti-Semitic
international audience. As a result many of them, although some are quite
brilliant in their chosen fields of expertise, have joined the Israel-bashing
choir, blaming Israel for not doing enough for the peaceful resolution of the
Arab-Israeli conflict. Strangely, as scientists, many of them do not consider
that factual knowledge and understanding of the history and dynamic of the
conflict is essential in order to take an educated and qualified position...
It is alarming to see how many Jewish
academics and organisations in Israel and around the world have taken an
anti-Israel position. Some 530 people signed a statement that reads: "We
Israeli Jews and Jews from Other Countries Support the Rights of Palestinian
Refugees." Support is unconditional! They complete disregard the
historical facts and the existential demographic threat to Israel…
One would expect that distinguished
Jewish psychologists would be interested in studying what the long term
developmental and psychological effects the Quassam rocket attacks from Gaza
are having on the children of Sderot. But he is not! Another scientific study
is long overdue: Why are so many Jews in Israel and overseas actively defending
the enemies of the Jewish state and their bogus claims instead of supporting
the Jewish right to the land of their ancestors and the right of Israel as an
independent country to exist in security and peace?..
Israel has exhausted all other options,
except self-destruction, which is not an option! The fact that during the
recent break through of the Egyptian border over half of Gaza’s residents
easily crossed the border with Egypt is ultimate proof that the Sinai option is
a practical and viable way to start the process of ending the occupation of
Jewish land! <More>
Mahmoud Abbas' official Palestinian
Authority daily newspaper has honoured the killer of the eight high school
students gunned down this week with the status of Shahid - Holy Islamic Martyr.
According to the PA interpretation of Islam, there is no higher status that a
human being can achieve today than that of Shahid.
Food for Thought. by Steven Shamrak
Israel was not ‘occupying’ Gaza when hundreds
of rockets were launched from it for several years - Gaza is Jewish land
occupied by enemies. Israel is not responsible for the lives of ‘civilians’ -
they are being used as a human shield by the enemy and most of them have
happily martyred themselves in Jihad, holy war, to secure a place in heaven for
themselves and their family!
Stop Playing with Land of Israel. Rabbi Yaakov Shapira, the
head of Merkaz HaRav Kook Yeshiva, eulogized the slain students on Friday,
saying that "it is about time we have a good, worthy leadership."
"The Land of Israel is not abandoned, and people must stop playing with it
and dividing it."
Hama’s
Game with Crime Against Humanity. After attack Hamas admits responsibility for the
shooting of eight Jewish students in Jerusalem. Later, Ibrahim Daher, head of
Hamas’ al-Aqsa radio, said his station put out an earlier claim of
responsibility prematurely. Abu Obeida, a spokesman for Hamas’ said "There may be a later announcement ... But we
don't claim this honour yet." (This deliberate and premeditated attack on
civilians is a crime against humanity, as the use of civilians as a human
shield. That is why Hamas backtracked on its claim of responsibility for the
Jerusalem attack!)
Is It OK to expel Gazans? Defense Minister Ehud Barak
is seeking legal approval to evacuate thousands of residents of Gaza City and
rocket launch areas in northern Gaza to locations in the south of the Strip to
enable the IDF to attack terror infrastructure without harming civilians. If
Israeli Jews could be legally expelled from their homes in Gaza, and their
communities destroyed, why not Palestinian Arabs? Indeed, it is the former
Jewish communities of Gaza which are being used as launch pads for rockets
against Israel. (At least, it would be a good start
toward ending Arab occupation and reclaiming Jewish land!)
Quote of the Week:
“An Israeli child who suffers terror-inflicted
injuries is not similar to a civilian who is injured unintentionally by
defensive measures anchored in international law. I say to the world: You want
to judge Israel, do it by your own criteria.” – Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni. – Good and
viable words! Does she live by them? Not really! She is just another political
chameleon.
Political
Persecution in Israel. Tzviyah Sariel, 18, is to
remain in prison for yet another month without any
formal charges being placed against her, in spite of the fact that the
Arab complainant said Tzviyah did not hit him and that he signed the complaint
because the police told him to. "I'm surprised that the girl who made all
the problems is not here," Hussein said. "It was the other
girl". She who has been imprisoned for almost three months on charges of
having attacked Arabs who attempted to enter her town of Elon Moreh in Samaria.
The
Same Stupidity of Impotence in Progress. The Security Cabinet decided last Wednesday to put
an end to the rocket and mortar attacks fired by Gaza terrorists at Israel. The
resolution adopted by the cabinet included a decision to destroy the Hamas
regime in Gaza, while continuing to negotiate a final status agreement with
Palestinian Authority Chairman and Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas. (It took them 7 years to make decision to stop the rocket
and mortar attacks. However, they still remain blind by insisting on
negotiation with enemy!)
Right
Idea. "The day will come when we will banish you from this building
and from the national home of the Jewish People," MK Eitam told Arab MKs
during a Knesset session on Wednesday morning. He was referring to an
anti-Israel protest held in the Israeli-Arab city of Umm El-Fahm. (But he
spoiled it by saying “We must expel you to Gaza." – Gaza is Jewish land!)
Put Olmert on Trial. Billionaire Lev
Levayev told the Haaretz newspaper that when Prime Minister Ehud Olmert
finishes his term, "Investigate him and try." The Jew from former
Soviet Union, also said that the Prime Minister Olmert is betraying Jews by
preparing to negotiate over the status of Jerusalem and blamed Israeli
political elite for importing "the new American religion" at the
expense of Judaism.
Hypocrisy -
‘Loaded’ Headlines:
Last week,
Australian multicultural TV station SBS - World news hour ‘balanced’ the news
about killing of 8 yeshiva students in
Jerusalem by showing pre-made segment about life of ‘poor Palestinian’ in Gaza
during the same program. Strangely if not symptomatically, IDF counterattacks
against Arab terrorists are never balanced by information about Jews who are
suffering from daily Islamic terror attacks by this TV station!
Humanity
vs Rockets and Terror. Over 70 trucks laden with food, medicine and
humanitarian equipment crossed through Israel's border crossings into the Gaza
Strip last Wednesday. Meanwhile, 25 Gazans made the trip into Israel in order
to receive medical attention. Over 7,000 residents of PA controlled territory
were treated in Israeli hospitals during the last year.
One
Hour Game.
PA President Mahmoud Abbas said on
Wednesday that he would not resume peace talks until Israel reaches a truce in
the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip. "The negotiations must be started, but
after the truce," Abbas said. "Once the truce is achieved the road
will be open for negotiations." (The word “truce” in Arabic means Hudna, a peace agreement that Arabs can break
at any time they wish!) PA President Mahmoud Abbas on Wednesday
said he would resume peace talks with Israel. "The peace process is a strategic choice and we have the intention of resuming
the peace process." (“Strategic” means to facilitate the
distruction of Israel!)
Recognition
of Jewish Refugees, Almost? The U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee
approved a resolution calling for equal treatment of Jewish refugees from
Muslim countries, 850,000 of them, in any peace deal. "For any
comprehensive Middle East peace agreement to be credible and enduring, the
agreement must address and resolve all outstanding issues relating to the
legitimate rights of all refugees in the Middle East, including Jews,
Christians, and other populations displaced from countries in the region,"
Such a policy, were it adopted by any U.S. administration, would help limit
Palestinian refugee claims against Israel. (What about
Bedouin refugees from Saudi Arabia, who were re-settled ‘temporarily’ in areas
designated for the Jewish state within trans-Jordan in the 1920’s? As a
result, Jordan was annexed from the Palestinian Mandate to give them permanent
shelter, at the expanse of Jews!)
Egyptian
and World Duplicity. Israel's current military escalation in the
Gaza Strip "is grave and dangerous, and puts in peril peace efforts
conducted by Egypt with the concerned parties," Egyptian Foreign Minister
Ahmed Aboul-Gheit was quoted. He called on Israel to immediately cease its
military operations in Gaza, describing them as "excessive use of
force." (For years Hamas has been terrorising Israel with Qassam and
Katusha rockets. Was Egypt concerned about “peril peace efforts”? The same
question is applicable to all bleeding-heart liberals’ who are ‘concerned’ about
‘poor Palestinians’, but never care about Jewish lives!)
