Israel in trouble

The Islamist/Socialist movement arrayed against the tiny Jewish State is entirely comparable to the National/Socialist movement of Hitler's Germany and potentially as deadly. Like their Nazi predecessors, today's Islamist/Socialists seek to wipe Jews off the map. Every passing day bears witness to an intensifying progrom against the innocent Jewish men, women and children of Israel. The suicide bombers, like ensatzgruppen, are sent in specifically to kill Jewish civilians. The organizations coordinating this Holocaust, unlike the Nazi's who tried to keep their Holocaust secret, are boldly claiming credit for the murders.
The organizations taking credit, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Tanzim "Aqsa Brigades," the PFLP, and others, are defended by international leftists who characterize them as engaging in a legitimate response to the "oppression of occupation." What is omitted from this propaganda is the fact that none of these organizations, by their own admission, recognize Israel's right to exist. To them, the "occupation" is occurring in Jerusalem, Haifa, and Tel Aviv. Their goal is to "liberate" the "Ummah" or land belonging to the Dar es Islam, from the non-Muslim Zionists. They seek conquest and the smell of Jewish blood is presently setting them into a murderous frenzy.
The West Bank and Gaza, previously prosperous by Islamic standards and now mired in misery, is in fact no longer occupied by Israel but by Arafat's Palestinian Authority which controlles most of the major population centers. In September 2000, at Camp David, the Palestinian Arabs seemed to be getting virtually everything they wanted or had a right to hope for. Barak was willing to recognize a sovereign Palestinian Arab State on about 95 per cent of the land won by Israel after it was invaded in June 1967. He was open to the idea of a shared Jerusalem with some sort of condominium arrangement made with the Palestinians. The Palestinians showed their true colors, however, when they backed off from the agreement after Israel refused to consider the total return of about 1 million Palestinian Arabs to pre-1967 Israel. The Palestinians knew that this would have destroyed Israel.
The Islamic/Socialists and their international Socialist bedfellows had placed a lot of stock in the success of the "Zionism is Racism" declaration which was supposed to emanate from the UN Conference on Racism held in Durban, South Africa. A massive and coordinated campaign of propaganda and terror against Israeli Jews preceded this conference by about one year. The slogan was supposed to finally de-legitimize Israel in the eyes of the world community, which would, they had hoped, accelerate the process of its dismantlement. In my opinion, the attack on the World Trade Center, which occurred just three days after the US and Israel stopped the passage of the slogan by walking out of the conference, was an act of deliberate and planned retaliation.

Life in Israel has become intolerable as Jews are getting their heads blown off every time they turn around. The present situation leaves Israel with no future prospect for peace and things will undoubtedly deteriorate unless Israel does something more than toss a few firecrackers at empty buildings at night. The Oslo accords are dead, as the Palestinians have violated every aspect of them both in letter and spirit. Harboring terrorists and allowing them to cross into a neighboring state to engage in violence is a violation of international law and custom. For this reason, the Palestinian Authority has forfeited its right to govern for the same reason that the Taliban has forfeited theirs in Afghanistan.
Israel, like the US and the western democracies, has been hoodwinked by the Islamic/Socialist drumbeat that they are responsible for the poverty, misery and backwardness of the Islamic world. Our success and freedom, they theorize, is not as a result of our philosophy of government and Judeo-Christian culture, but because we somehow stole from the Islamic countries. We are supposed to feel guilty for our success and values and, in the case of Israel, make atonement for this "sin" by surrendering its sovereignty slice by slice.
To get out of trouble, Israel must wake up and secure its future by routing
out any organization that conspires to kill its citizens and any government
that harbors such a conspiracy. The terrorist Palestinian Authority should
be deposed in the same manner as the Taliban government and for the same
reason. Palestinian Arabs who elect to obey the law should be, after a
cooling off period, allowed to elect local government and, eventually,
granted autonomy under Israeli auspices. Israel should stop trying to
explain itself and start acting like a sane sovereign nation.
