Has life become
more peaceful? Will they ever learn? Throughout recorded history, we've seen
that giving in to aggressors, bullies, has only brought on more trouble,
violence and death.
Did converting
to Catholicism during the Inquisition save Spanish Jewry and allow them to live
in peace? Certainly not! To this day, the Spanish Church has kept records of
those "new Catholics," considering them second-class, secret Jews, at
best.
Did it help the
Jews of Germany when the German Jewish leaders cooperated with the Nazis? It
certainly didn't. Discriminatory laws against Jews got harsher and then six
million Jews were systematically murdered.
Has life become
more peaceful in Israel since: 1. Menachem Begin's Camp David agreement and
subsequent Sinai withdrawal? 2. Yitzchak Rabin and Shimon Peres's Oslo Accords,
which gave the Arabs rifles and other arms? Against whom were they used? 3. the
Disengagement from Gush Katif and northern Shomron?
That's a very
short list of the numerous Israeli attempts to "bribe" or "sweet
talk" the local Arab terrorists into agreeing to "peace." They
all have something in common. They caused the level of violence against Jews to
rise.
Thirty years
ago, when Begin was elected Prime Minister, the first time that a party other
than Labor won Israel's elections, Israelis were complaining that the
"front" was too far away. I remember a Jerusalem neighbour who said
that it was inconvenient for her husband to do reserve duty in the Sinai… Now
the war is more convenient. Terrorism can happen at home - no need to travel to
the front… When will they ever learn?
Food for Thought.

In
1967, there were no universities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza. Arab Palestinians
in Israel are the most educated Arabs in the Middle East. What has the
education of the Arab population brought to Israel? More sophisticated terror!
Sometimes punishment and expulsion from a class is a good and appropriate
educational tool!
No
Total Protection for Sderot. Olmert declared the during annual
Caesarea conference that his government cannot offer Sderot total protection
against Qassam rocket attacks. "A country cannot protect itself ad
infinitum, because there would be no end to it." (Knowing
the obvious, why he and the Israeli government do nothing to develop and
implement the alternative Zionist plan?)
Muslim
‘Democracy’. Muslim journalist Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury is on
trial in Bangladesh for the crime of supporting Israel. The official charges
are listed as treason and blasphemy. Choudhury urged the Bangladeshi government
to recognize the State of Israel.
Stupidity was
Expected. Shortly after the former British prime minister
stepped into his new job, he assured Russia and the Europeans that one of his
first tasks would be to establish ties with Hamas representatives in Gaza and
Damascus. (…but not so soon! Another international
idiot got the “job for boys” without any qualification for it!)
Arab
Squatters Ordered off Stolen Jewish Land. A Jewish man
has won a fifteen-year battle against Arab squatters from Bethlehem who seized
his land in southern Jerusalem. Police have now told Herskowitz he has one day
to pay for police protection in order to remove the squatters and take control
of his land. (Why does the government not reinforce
the law? When will all Arab ‘squatters’ be removed from the Jewish land?)
Saudi
Support of Hamas. “Hamas certainly carried out suicide attacks against
Israeli civilians during the second Intifada beginning in 2000, which would
qualify it for the terrorist label. But then, during that Intifada, Israel
killed more than four times as many Palestinians as Hamas and other groups
killed Israelis.” - by By Patrick Seale, saudigazette.com. (Nothing
is printed in Saudi Arabia by accident. This is just one example of twisted
logic used by Jew-haters, paid by an oil-rich Wahabic monster!)
Hiding Head in the Sand. The Israeli
government has appointed a team to begin planning the armouring of 10,000 homes
and businesses within Qassam rocket range of Gaza. The Finance Ministry, headed
by Olmert, has reportedly formulated a plan to come up with a billion and a
half shekels. (What about the lives of people walking
on the streets or kids in school yards? Instead of ending the occupation of
Jewish Gaza by Arabs, Olmert is wasting time and money to prolong the inhumane
living condition of Jews living under the rain of Qassam rockets in the Negev.)
King Rejects
Confederation with Palestinians. Jordan's King
Abdullah II flatly rejected a confederation with the Palestinians on Sunday and
said he was "fed up talking about this issue." "We reject the
formula of confederation and federation and we believe that proposing this
issue at this specific period is a conspiracy against both Palestine and Jordan,"
(Nobody wants the Palestinian "Bag
of Fleas"!)
Sharing Terror Duties. The Hamas military wing, under the leadership of Ahmed
al-Ja'abari, has resumed launching Qassam rockets from Gaza at Israel after a
lull of some weeks. During this period, rocket launchings had primarily been
conducted by Islamic Jihad, Fatah's Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, and members of
local clans.
Quote of the Week:
"Even
if we give Abbas F-16s he still has no chance to succeed against Hamas. It has
already been proven that giving weapons and money to Fatah goes toward
strengthening terror and not toward fighting it." – Israel Strategic Affairs Minister Avigdor Lieberman.
Self-Respect:
Arabs Vs Israel. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert
should forget about plans to hold a summit involving Saudi Arabia, because the
Saudis won't meet him, said Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak. Mubarak implied
that Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah would not meet with Olmert because of
religious issues – i.e., that Muslims of the stature of Abdullah would not meet
with a Jew like Olmert. (Muslims
hold, often unjustifiably, enormous self-respect. Isn’t it time for Jews demand
the respect we actually deserve?)
Faking a
Humanitarian Crisis. Frequent
mortar and bombing attacks on the Gaza crossings lead Israeli authorities to
conclude that Hamas is trying to fabricate (as usual) a humanitarian crisis for international consumption. The
Karni crossing was shut down by Palestinian attacks and then Kerem Shalom.
Mosque are not
for Politics? PA Prime Minister Fayyad's
meeting with 800 Muslim clergy was the latest attempt to stem that influence of
Hamas in Judea and Samaria. "We won't allow them (mosques) to be turned into places of incitement and
intimidation," he said. "It's the responsibility of men of religion
to ... present religion as a way of tolerance, not as a cover for
bloodshed." (Incitement
against Israel is still permitted and encouraged in mosques world-wide,
including the PA controlled territories!)
Farfur, the
Terrorist Mouse, is Dead. The Hamas
affiliated television station that produced the children's show featuring
Farfur, who urged Palestinian children to conquer Israel, broadcast the final
episode on Friday. An actor portraying an Israeli trying to steal Farfur's land
beat the mouse to death. (Arab
occupiers of Jewish land have been raising a new generation of killers! At the
same time, due to the perversion of the dead Oslo agreement, Israeli children are
denied the truth about the rights of Jews to all our ancestral land. No wonder
so many Jews advocate two-state solution. The Arabs want only one!)
Talking
to the Wall.
Hamas released a batch of documents captured in the
Palestinian Authority’s intelligence archives in Gaza, which include complete
maps in the hands of the Palestinian Preventive Security service and Egyptian
intelligence of 22 gunrunning tunnels from Sinai to Gaza. Exes marked the
points of ingress and exit under cover of buildings.
This
incriminating expose attested to the two ‘partners in peace’ deliberate cover
up. Israel was (and still is) talking to the wall when its ministers keep on appealing to
the Mubarak government year after year to block the smuggling tunnels. It is
clear that Cairo (and the PA government) never had an intention of lifting a finger to stop the
illicit weapons reaching Gaza. (Olmert
is still keeping up the charade! Israel does not have partners in peace
process. It is time to set and pursue our own goals. The Arabs do!)
Time
to Postpone the "Political Horizon"
by Dennis Ross (Wall Street Journal, 19Jun07)
Since January, the administration's
objective has been to produce a "political horizon" between Israelis
and Palestinians - meaning an agreement (or plan) on the contours of a
permanent status deal on Jerusalem, refugees and borders. The feasibility of
such an objective needs to be reassessed now. With two Palestinian regimes, one
led by Fatah in the West Bank and one led by Hamas in Gaza, does it make sense
to be defining what permanent status would look like? Pushing for an objective
that is demonstrably not achievable now is not going to enhance our already
shaky position in the Middle East. (Even the US’s official
‘jesters’ have begun to realize the faulty premises of US policy!)
