Thoughts
of an Israeli Christian Arab.

I had conversation with an Israeli Arab construction boss by
the unlikely name of Francis who was in charge of building a villa near our
house in Herzelia. He told me:
"Your bungling war against a few thousand Hezbollah
fighters which you should have crushed no matter what, considering the
importance of the outcome, has created a completely new situation, not only for
this area, but globally. Your inept leadership totally misunderstood the
importance of winning this war."
"The Americans, the Europeans, and even you Israelis
really don't know what it is all about, do you? During the last generation
hundreds of thousands of children have been taught all over the Moslem world in
Madrass schools to become martyrs for Allah in order to kill the infidels.
These youngsters not only are ready to do it, but are actually in the process
of doing it. Bombs are going off all over the world killing and maiming
thousands of people, not only on 9/11 in the US, in London Madrid and Bali, but
in Africa, India, Bangladesh, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and many other places. The
first signs of the Islamic Tsunami is already here, but the West doesn't
understand, or doesn't want to understand what is coming."
"Now is the time to stop them, not only because they
are developing nuclear bombs, but because Iran has become the base for all
Islamic terrorist. They supply money, men, and weapons to Islamic terrorist
around the world, quite often through their diplomatic mail. Billions of petro-dollars
that are pouring into Iran are being funnelled into terrorist organizations
world-wide. They believe, and perhaps rightly so, that the West will do nothing
to stop them in achieving their goals."
"Well, you Israelis, should better prepare yourself for
another round against Hezbollah. It will not be long in coming. It depends on
the Iranians to give the word. This time you will have to destroy Hezbollah no
matter what the cost may be." (If
only Jews and the Israeli government would listen!)
Policy of Defeat.
The IDF announced
Saturday it will reopen the Karni crossing even as terrorists in Gaza continue
their attacks on Israel.
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert continues to add
concessions to the Palestinian Authority, this time granting amnesty to 110 PA
terrorists.
Food for Thought. by Steven Shamrak
“Israel does not apologize!” – One of
many lame justifications from ‘nice’ Israel-haters I have received. Do we hear
apologies from UK or Spain for deporting Jews or for Turkey’s genocide of
Armenians? Have any Arab/Muslim countries apologized for supporting terror?
Dear anti-Semites, please, do not preach humanity and morality to the Jews,
look in the mirror first!
One Sane Politician in America. American Republican
presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani has bucked the party line of successive US
administrations and come out against the establishment of a Palestinian state.
"Too much emphasis has been placed on brokering negotiations between the
Israelis and the Palestinians - negotiations that bring up the same issues
again and again. It is not in the
interest of the United States, at a time when it is being threatened by
Islamist terrorists, to assist the creation of another state that will support
terrorism." (For Israel, there is never a
good time for the idea of another Arab state on Jewish land! But still “at a time”?)
Gaza a Major
Threat to Israel. Senior Israeli military
officials say the government ignored their warnings of what would happen to
Gaza following the 2005 withdrawal. Hamas is believed to have at least 13,000
men under arms in Gaza. The force has been trained by Hizballah and Iranians.
The group has also reportedly moved a huge quantity of advanced weapons and
high-grade explosives into Gaza since Israel surrendered control of the strip,
including Katyusha rockets, advanced anti-tank missiles and shoulder-launched
anti-aircraft missiles.
Fight of Mad Dogs. PA media are
reporting clashes between Hamas and the Doghmush clan in Gaza City's al-Sabra
neighbourhood. The powerful clan, which held journalist Alan Johnston, was
hired out as mercenaries by both Fatah and Hamas, but has resisted Hamas
efforts to disarm it.
Stupidity Unlimited Co. IDF Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi elicited enthusiastic
applause from a largely Druze audience week ago when he told the crowd that in
the next life, he wants to be a Druze. (What
a stupid thing to be said by a Jew! It seems the current Israeli officials are
breaking all limits of self-hate and stupidity.)
Quote
of the Week:
“…even
the most virulent of Israel's critics cannot blame the current barbarism in
Gaza on the Jews. After all, the Israelis withdrew, didn't they?” – by Andrew Sullivan. “The Sunday Times”.
Two Out of Every 1,000 are
Jews. The number of Jews in the world has remained steady
at about 13 million for a long time, but Jews today represent only two out of
every 1,000 people in the world, compared to 3.5 out of every 1,000 in 1970,
4.7 out of 1,000 in 1945, and 7.5 out of 1,000 in 1938. Israel is home to 5.4
million Jews. Last year it became the world's largest Jewish community, passing
the U.S. with its estimated 5.3 million Jews. (Assimilation,
Christian evangelic assault, anti-Israel propaganda, national apathy and basic
lack of understanding of what Jewishness means, nationhood – not just religion,
is tearing our people apart!)
Arafat's
Doctor: His Blood had HIV. Late PA chairman Yasser Arafat's blood
contained the deadly HIV virus, Arafat's personal physician, Dr. Ashraf
al-Kurdi, told Jordanian media over the weekend.
Another
Delusional. Tony Blair stepped into his new position as Quartet Middle East
envoy with hopes and dreams: "Just imagine for a moment if this process
were moving forward again, just think how much hope there would be." (Only
affirmative and decisive action by Israel against her enemies can end the
conflict!)
Is India a New
Partner? India will launch Israeli
spy satellite called TechSar, weighing about 260 kg. It is likely that some of
the secret images will be made available to India. The Indian Space Research
Organisation are tight-lipped about the nature of the mission.
Solar Power for
Italy. An Israel-based electric
company has completed construction of Italy's first solar power station. The
50-kilowatt plant is part of an order for a nationwide network of solar power
stations, to be completed in five years.
Forged Accusation.

Racist ideologies use the differences between peoples, such
as race, religion, gender, economic status, etc., as an excuse to oppress,
discriminate, and deprive people of their natural and most basic rights.
Zionism, on the other hand, sought and gained for the Jewish people the ability
to rule themselves, which is a basic right shared by every nation. In the
Diaspora, Jews where either oppressed by others or depended on the whims of the
majority in the countries where they lived. The whims often turned into
persecutions and pogroms.
The accusation that Zionism is racism is motivated by a
simple reasoning: After the Holocaust, it became unacceptable and ineffective
to call Jews a subhuman race. In the face of those horrors traditional
anti-Semitism was seen as barbaric and primitive.
Present day anti-Semites (a k a anti-Zionists) are trying to
stick to the state of Israel the false accusations of "Racism",
"Apartheid" and "ethnic cleansing" in order to deny Jews
their inherit and most basic right for self-rule and self-determination, the
right of every nation to be free.
Not all
criticisms of Israel are anti-Semitism, but anti-Zionism denies basic rights to
Jews. Anti-Zionists commit an act of discrimination – Racism!
