PROTECTING ISRAEL FROM VICTORY

Thursday, June 29th, 2006

Mahmoud Abas’ military ‘wing,’ the Fatah al aksa brigade boasts that it has shot a rocket bearing a bio-chemical warhead into Israel. This is quite possible and the public response of the Olmert administration minimizing the incident is predictable. Only a terrorist attack resulting in enormous Jewish casualties might, — repeat, might compel the client regime of Foggy Bottom to respond with significant military force against the jihadists who are in open war against Israel, shooting rockets within the 1949 armistice lines almost every day for six years. But the Olmert – Peres regime will not preempt a catastrophe; will not acknowledge it until it happens. When it does, their cadres in the media and academia will blare that it is because Israel has not withdrawn fast or far enough toward the ocean.

That’s how intelligent the “enlightened ones” in Israel are. And the “world community” will gladly echo their noise.

The last thing the Olmert ” Peres group wants is to be put in a position where it needs to save face and thus retain its chokehold on Israeli society by meaningfully striking jihadists. If this clique was to take a major bite out of terrorism it would damage the regime’s excuse and means (the terrorists) for ‘justifying’ the alienation of the central portions of the Jewish heritage of land and holy sites. This alienation is also known as “the peace process” or the “Road Map.”

The homicidal rage of the jihadists is more reality-based than it seems. It is based partly on an accurate assessment of the fact that the dominant elites in Israel intend to destroy the Jewish aspects of the state and that therefore terrorism can be escalated with success if it is done steadily with occasional spikes, like the kidnapping and murder of Jewish soldiers and civilians, built in to move the process along.

The “Palestinian” terrorist groups are not only pawns of Arab states and ruling elites but of the Israeli secular elites that want, 1) to preempt the dawn of a truly Jewish and self-respecting Israel, and 2) to maintain their own socio-political dominance despite their small numbers.

This is why the current occupation of small parts of Gaza by the IDF is so limp, so lacking in major firepower directed against all areas that harbor terrorists and all hostile population centers. This is why the IDF and Olmert regime already, as the Labor “Zionists” did in 1948 are pleading with the Arabs not to flee to Egypt but to stay in the Gaza area: they need them to be as close as possible to the Jewish towns they will attack for further withdrawals to be justified until Israel reaches the size that the State Department deems adequate for its complete servility while also retaining some value as a target for global jihad and as a steady source of computer, laser, military and medical technology. That’s the game.

Instead of taking grim satisfaction in the imminent destabilization and fall of the regimes in Egypt and Jordan respectively and their replacement by jihadist cliques whose attacks might embarrass Israel into a meaningful military strike, Israel’s government is now aligned with American and French diplomats in laboring to save the puppet regimes in Cairo and Amman by extricating kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. For the diplomats he is merely a means to save the client states involved and to save the Road Map to the compression or extinction of Israel.

This game is self-defeating for, like the expulsion of the Jews from Gush Katif it emboldens Hamas, al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Syria and Iran bringing closer the major attack that will force the anti-Jewish client regimes in Jerusalem to strike back decisively or to lose their hold over the IDF and the Jews. When the terrible attack comes, as in 1948, the forces of ‘havlaga‘ (“self-restraint, a rationalization of the elite’s refusal to embrace the Jewish birthright) will counterattack only as much as they need to do to maintain their power and facade of legitimacy. And so terror strikes will escalate until the entire unnatural charade, the wall of whitewashed plaster is swept away by a storm.

Still the game plays on: Israeli official reports, echoed by world media in consonance with jihadist bluster, emphasize the ‘dangers’ of Israel attacking its enemies throughout Gaza. Mines, booby traps, — blather. These are serious obstacles only if the politicized and neutered IDF, true to form from 1948 to 2002 uses its ground troops as cannon fodder and refrains from fully using its air force. This of course is what should be done to reduce jihadist enclaves to the condition of Dresden in April 1945. This would bring genuine peace at last, the last thing the silk hats want.

Maybe Secretary of State Rice should order Olmert to press such an attack since it would save Hosni Mubarak from the nightmare western diplomacy and Islamic imperialism has created in Gaza and so many other places.

THE SMELL OF SUCCESS, a Touch of Deterrence

Wednesday, June 28th, 2006

One knows that the IDF, Israel and the Jewish people are poised for a long-needed and life-saving success when Arab MK’s began burbling threats about ending the move into that geographic anomaly and geopolitical imposture, the Gaza strip. The smell of success also is blowin’ in the wind when jihadists begin making threats about what they ‘will do’ if Israel gives them the pounding they have earned and that they can feel hovering in the air above their murderous heads.

This babbling of the enemy is a sure sign that Israel, astonishingly (and look at what it’s taken the past 13 years) is on the verge of making a major bite out of global jihad and in restoring deterrence, — the awareness by everyone that Jewish life is precious, not cheap and that, cousin to this fact, that Jewish land everywhere west of the Jordan is going to be redeemed and soon.

Israel must not miss this opportunity to bring light out of darkness, good from evil and to step away from the precipice its ruling echelons have brought it to (albeit with much great power pressure). The hail of rockets from the Gaza strip have been a kind of measure for measure revealing the suicidal stupidity and sin of removing the Jewish settlers from their beautiful communities there. The continuing and increasing attacks, and the escalating threats of the Islamic groups of more to come are facts demanding that retributive justice be exacted now.

Trust us: nearly all Americans, including the malicious peddlers of bad faith in the State Department will breathe a lot easier. But that is not the main concern or benefit…

At a minimum, the IDF remains in the entire southern ‘bulge’ of Gush Katif, isolating the terrorists from the sieve-like Egyptian border and re-establishing a permanent Jewish presence there, for life and living. In addition, all leaders of all terrorist groups that may be involved in any way with the rocket attacks or with the recent infiltration, murders of soldiers on guard duty (this isn’t a war, is it? and if it is…), and the heinous kidnapping and threats to murder Israeli POW Shalit must be executed forthwith by any means.

And if, heaven forbid, POW Shalit is not released promptly or if he is harmed further in any way at all then every leader and spokesman for any terror group anywhere from the Sinai to and throughout Syria and Lebanon, Yehuda and the Shomron are to be executed and the cities from which they operate flattened flatter than the towns of Gush Katif were flattened; flattened just like the cities from which the nazi murderers operated.

This is the path to peace; this is the preemption of more terror attacks against Jews. This is deterrence against the continuing attrition and genocide of the Jewish people.

It’s about time that Israel, the main target for many centuries, led the world in bringing a big dose of retributive justice and deterrence to global jihad. That’s a peace process that will succeed; the partner will be created in proportion to the massiveness of the deterrent strike.

VOICE TO THE VOICELESS: Further Accounts of deportees from Gush Katif

People concerned with Jewish Israel know they must continue to consider perspectives, questions and new paths raised by listening to the voices of Jews expelled in August 2005 from their homes in Gush Katif. Their stories reveal the degree to which a government can act against its own people, and about the extent to which the powers of the world intend to see Israel constricted with section after section emptied of Jews.

The voices and stories of these people are poignant, illuminating and inspiring because, as will be clear upon reading, they have not been broken which they recognize to be the overall goal of the client regime that struck them on behalf of the powers.

The poignancy, perseverance, courage and faith expressed in the accounts below do not imply that all the answers are here: there probably is not any one right answer. But communing with the humanity of these battered but still vital people and hearing their experiences and insights is part of the healing and discovery of the way that will lead the Jewish people to settlement and victory in their land.

The Israel No One Sees

Thursday, June 15th, 2006

The world powers and their major media have been pre-occupied, some would say obsessed with Israel since its war for independence from Britain and Britain’s Arab-created client states in 1948. Those who follow events are numbed by the endless recycling of the “Jewish land for Arab promises of peace” process from Camp David to Madrid, Oslo, Wye, Camp David II to the Road Map which demands a freeze on Jewish settlement in the central parts of the Promised Land and the expulsion of Jews from ever greater portions of it. We also are familiar with the results of such processing: more and more terror, ethnic cleansing of Jews and now, Hamas terror states in the Gaza area and in the hills of northern Samaria (the Shomron), de facto terror states on land carved from Israel by Oslo.

There are, however, many aspects of Israel, often the most beautiful facets of the entire nation, land and people, that few people ever get to see. Perhaps the world powers and their official organs of “truth” prefer it that way.

The following paragraphs reveal the beautiful and inspiring face of the Israel that exists behind the headlines and diplomatic slogans, the Israel that the world is in such a hurry to blot out, destroying its homes, farms, flocks, livelihoods and burying Jewish lives in that special oblivion intended for those who buck the modern world’s dominant tendencies and decline its dubious inducements to forgetting and “pleasure.” This is a bad road and it does not need to be. If the Jews of Judea and Samaria are uprooted, Americans, and not only American will be endangered and impoverished.

Americans take note and beware: Israel and the Jews are the canary in the mine. If a league of governments can justify expelling Jews from their ancient homeland, any government can “justify” expelling any person from their home.
