THE WORLD AGAINST ISRAEL
September 17, 2009 by yipbop · Leave a Comment
Through political ploys, the Western world, especially the United States under President Barack Hussein Obama, is treating their ally Israel as an undesirable obstacle that needs to be obliterated in the near future through irrational concessions to an Islamic culture bent on conquering not just Israel, but the free world. The Western’s selfish reliance on oil takes precedence over suppporting a country such as Israel against an Islamic culture whose profound hatred towards democratic values has no limits.
The likes of the U.N., the E.U. and the U.S. whose desire to satisfy the Arab world to the detriment of the only democratic country in the Middle East will undoubtedly lead to a clash of civilizations rightfully prophesied by Samuel Huntington. Stopping construction in Judea and Samaria so that ultimately a sovereign Palestinian state can surface on all land conquered by Israel from Jordan in 1967 is much more important that taking action against a nuclear Iran which represents the greatest and imminent danger to the world. I should emphasize that Jordan was controlling illegally the lands known as Judea and Samaria pre-1967, rather than a sovereign Palestinian state, since this state never existed. Thus, the word “occupation” used ad nauseam by the world as a result of the successful Palestinian propaganda machinery to discredit Israel is a misnomer.
The Western world is actually pressuring Israel to share land with neighbors whose culture is the antithesis of freedom and Western values. Take as an example the use of the Palestinian television, teachers, textbooks, cartoons, music videos, sticker albums and summer camps to indoctrinate innocent Palestinian youth to hate Jews, and commit violence and suicide bombings. Just recently, it has been reported in August 24, 2009 the celebration of a massive wedding of 450 grooms in their mid-20’s with girls less than 10 years of age in Gaza. And let’s not ignore the honor killings and debasement of women in the Islamic world. The mantra voiced by the Western world to establish a Palestinian state that will “live side-by-side in peace and security alongside with Israel” is rewarding irrationality and is a catalyst for Muslim territorial expansionism with genocidal consequences not only for Israel, but for the world at large.
To add salt to the wound, the U.N. Human Rights Council, an utterly inefficient and apostate organization bent on the isolation and demonization of Israel, has recently disclosed the Goldstone report, a.k.a., a replica of the Durban I conference, whose deliberate 574-page report finds Israel guilty of crimes against humanity during the war against Hamas in Gaza while effectively giving Hamas a free pass. They even termed Hamas, who has a murderous covenant of death, as a “Palestinian armed organization,” and deliberately disregarded the fact that Israel’s operation was a defensive war to stop thousands of rockets against its civilians in the South. In addition, this one-sided and hearsay-based paperwork failed to mention that Hamas used its civilian population as human shields. What would you expect of a Goldstone panel set up such pearls as Syria, Pakistan, Malaysia and Bangladesh?
It is plainly clear that the world is turning its back on Israel and looking into their own interest, with a desire to provoke Israel’s alienation if not destruction; they are creating an unjust equivalence of a democratic state with a terror organization; however, this nefarious plot will undoubtedly rebound like a boomerang and encourage terrorist and jihadist entities throughout the globe to have free reign to pursue their murderous and theocratic vision of subjugating our freedom and liberty to a Jihadist and Islamic finale.
OBAMA’S LOOMING TACTICS
August 19, 2009 by yipbop · Leave a Comment
The new administration under President Barack Hussein Obama is steadily continuing its path of degrading Israel, if not gradually delegitimizing it through subterfuge political measures. Obama in just six months in the White House has shown racist policies towards Israel through words and actions that are quite disturbing. Starting with Obama’s historical speech in Cairo to the Islamic world where he concurred with Israel’s enemies that the birth of Israel was due to the Holocaust while deliberately ignoring 3,500 years of Jewish history, his relentless pressure to freeze settlement construction even for natural growth not only in Judea and Samaria but in Israel’s capital, Jerusalem, his relaxed attitude towards the unrelenting production of nuclear bombs in Iran and his decision to upgrade ties with the terrorist state, Syria, and recently his decision to award the Medal of Honor to a well known typical Jew hater such as Mary Robinson.
Barack Hussein Obama’s clever tactical campaign to ultimately destroy the existence of Israel under the cover of surrounding himself with a gang of Jew haters and anti-Israel advisers such as Rahm Emanuel, Axelrod, Kushner, etc. is on its track of progress. Had he appointed Christians of any denomination other than Jews to his cabinet, his nefarious actions would have been quite evident. These Jew boys who hold prominent positions in Obama’s cabinet are anti-Israel with policies similar to those of the former President Carter who has labeled Israel’s treatment of Palestinians akin to apartheid. President Obama’s treacherous anti-Israel stance can be logically vindicated through his religious upbringing in a radical Muslim madrasa and his association with such Jewish enemies as Farrakhan (Nation of Islam Leader, racist, anti-American) and Reverend Wright.
Israel’s hostile neighborhood is incredibly large; starting with Hamas, Palestine Islamic Jihad, PRC, PFLP, DFLP, Hizbullah, Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, Syria, Iran, Al-Qaida, and many others, all concocting to destroy the Jewish state. In spite of these looming threats, this President Obama who clearly has Muslim sensitivities, and sides with Jewish enemies, keeps pressuring Israel to concede more land to its foes while the world Jewry who overwhelmingly voted in favor of his presidency is starting to come to their senses and realizing the threat that Obama presents to their very own survival.
Obama’s attack against Israel and Jews is breeding a scourge of virulent anti-semitism with even such inhumane blood libels as the recent accusations against the Israeli Defense Forces of kidnapping Palestinian youth and snatching their organs, courtesy of the ever so successful Palestinian propaganda machinery. This latest grotesque and medieval blood libel appeared this week in the Swedish largest circulation daily called Aftonbladet. That the Swedish media is willing to publish such monstrous and bias accusations speak loudly to the state of growing hatred toward the Jewish state and Jews in the Diaspora and the gutter level that this newspaper has sunk.
Obama and his close Jewish hate-filled entourage are in the process of concocting a so-called “peace plan” some time by September, 2009 as a political arm-twisting meant to appease Obama’s Muslim world at Israel’s expense. Lately, an overwhelming amount of documents questioning Obama’s birth have surfaced. Unless conspiracy theorists are successful in exposing the true and documented facts of Obama’s original birth in Kenya rather than Hawaii, and Obama is thrown out of office, the Jewish State and Jews in the Diaspora will find themselves in a terrible predicament, face growing anti-semitism and, if left undisturbed, the threat of Iran’s looming nuclear intentions towards the Jewish state and the stability of the world.
FATAH – THE PRAISED PEACE PARTNER
August 6, 2009 by yipbop · Leave a Comment
The Fatah party’s sixth General Assembly conference in August 4th, 2009 in its first day of session has turned into a theater of hate toward Israel. After a 20-year lull since its last one, 2,000 delegates gathered in Bethlehem with the original purpose of adopting a new platform and re-elect Fatah’s two main decision-making bodies. However, rather than abiding to their business plan, indescribable accusations against the Jewish State were de rigueur. For starters, Mahmoud Abbas, hailed by the international community as the “moderate” peace partner, stressed and reaffirmed in his opening speech that the Palestinians will never recognize Israel as a Jewish State, his refusal to have any type of peace talks with Israel unless they witness a halt of settlement building in Jerusalem and the “occupied West Bank,” and the undeniable right of Palestinian refugees to flood Israel’s shores. He even threatened “legitimate armed resistance” in case of failure with the so-called “peace” talks.
The spouting of violence by the leader of Fatah and his refusal to accept Israel’s Jewishness is to be expected, especially in view of Barack Obama’s encouraging speech in Cairo and his renewed call for settlement freeze during his recent trip to Germany. Were Israel to heed to Obama’s calls, it would entail the removal of over 450,000 Jews from Judea and Samaria, including Jerusalem, the holiest city to Jews worldwide. If this suicidal and drastic move demanded by the U.S. and of course Europe were to occur to placate the Arab world, it would leave Israel’s military borders completely indefensible and Israel would live with neighbors whose society inculcate to his youngsters from a tender age to hate Jews and to negate Israel’s legitimacy and its 3,500 historical rights to the land. Israel’s continued refusal to abide to the so-called “Auschwitz borders” has even been echoed by a prominent military expert, Lt.-Gen. Thomas Kelly, director of operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the 1991 Gulf War, who said: “It is impossible to defend Jerusalem unless you hold that high ground in Judea-Samaria.”
So, in the view of this writer, unless Israel agrees to commit this suicidal path under the relentless pressure from the U.S.-led West, President Abbas as explicitly articulated in his keynote speech in Bethlehem would, in compliance with the international community, make life unbearable for the Jews through terrorist campaigns following the strategy of his late boss, Yassir Arafat (although this time Abbas’ security forces are highly trained by American Lt.-Gen. Keith Dayton). In fact, as explicitly quoted by the PA leadership since its inception, “peace is a means; the goal is Palestine.”
Fast forward, the Fatah-sponsored Bethlehem conference which could also be named “Durban III,” in its second day of session, continued its hateful rhetoric against the Jewish State by also accusing Israel of being responsible for the “assassination” of Arafat who died in 2004. They even called for an international inquiry into this matter. The rest of the session finally focused away from debasing Israel with the eruption of a stormy debate among the delegates since they were unable to resolve other important issues such as new elections.
In their rather intentional myopic view, the Western world leaders are probably showing deep disappointment especially after maintaining ad nauseam that Fatah is the only mainstream Palestinian supporter of a peaceful compromise with Israel. It seems that the ghost of Arafat continues to hover over the heads of Obama, the international community and the Fatah movement to pressure Israel to abandon its rights as a sovereign country and to commit genocidal paths. Earlier Israel’s leaderships had an incredible history of causing terrible damage to Israel’s security and legitimacy. Hopefully, either the newly elected government of Israel or a future wise leader will arise to fulfill Israel’s undeniable biblical destiny. In the meantime, let the debate among Israel’s sworn enemies continue and let the world watch how their “moderate” pick for peace with Israel lives up to their own standards.
DESTRUCTION AND REDEMPTION
July 28, 2009 by yipbop · Leave a Comment
This coming Thursday marks the anniversary of the destruction of the two Jewish temples that stood in the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Coincidentally, both of these temples were destroyed on the same date of the Jewish calendar, the 9th of Av. Orthodox Jewry throughout the world will mark this solemn day with a 25-hour fasting and will traditionally pray in Israel at the so-called Western Wall, or Wailing Wall, the last remaining structure of the Second Temple which was built by Herod the Great in 26 A.D.
Why am I mentioning this particular event in the Jewish calendar? Well, just a reminder to all of you that the Temples served as God’s ‘footstool’ portraying His presence on earth and their destruction had a profound impact on the Jewish people. Subsequently, the Jews endured 2,000 years of pogroms, inquisitions, deportations culminating in the Holocaust. Against all odds, in 1948, came the birth of the Jewish state. However, in just its embryonic state, Israel had to defend itself against a succession of wars perpetrated by Arab countries bent on Israel’s destruction. Miraculously, Israel won every war, and in 1967 as a result of the Six Day War, Israel gained all of Jerusalem, the Golan Heights, Sinai, the Gaza Strip, and the West Bank (historically known as Judea and Samaria). However, once again, there is an ominous threat hovering over the Jews, this time voiced by the Iranian President Ahmadinejad who wishes to erase Israel from the map. This malevolent threat, however, seems to go on deaf ears by the world community. Rather than focusing on eliminating this peril swiftly, the world’s debate appears to focus ad nauseam on when this travesty of a nation such as Iran is supposed to have nuclear weaponry – is it in six months, one year, two years, five, … who cares? The point is that in the meantime, the wicked wheels keep turning and the clock is ticking very fast.
The Iranian dictator’s canards differ from those of Hitler’s only in terms of the label: Ahmadinejad calls Jews “Zionists” instead of “Juden.” His intentions, similarly to those of the bogus Palestinians, are racist rather than territorial and promoted by the religious belief that eradicating Israel from the world map would hasten the coming of their 12th Imam. And in the face of such an ugly menace against Israel, the theater of the absurd was well represented when the U.N. and Columbia University invited this fanatic dictator to deliver hateful diatribes. But what would you expect when radical Muslims who are vehemently anti-Israel are invading the continent? Europe is becoming Eurabia and the U.S.’s President Barack Hussein Obama is vehemently apologizing and schmoozing with the Arab world? Just remember or read history – during the Holocaust, when millions of Jews were sent to the ovens, not one nation in the world stood for them, and today it appears that once again no one is siding with Israel or Jews in general. Rather, the world leaders are negotiating with unreliable dictators and pressuring Israel to divide itself into two halves to accommodate the birth of a phony Palestinian Islamic entity whose covenant of annihilating Israel has never been changed. In fact what the U.S., U.N., E.U., and the world leaders in general are demanding from Israel are nothing short of suicidal, yet once again, no one seems to care.
The destruction of the first and second temples in Jerusalem were attributed by the sages to sinat chinam (baseless hatred) among Jews, a spiritual tragedy which caused the retreat of the Divine Presence and the subsequent 2,000-year exile, inquisitions, Crusades, pogroms and holocaust. The birth of the State of Israel has been recognized as nothing short of a redemptive beginning coupled with the ingathering of the exiles and the future reconstruction of the Third Temple as predicted by the Prophets over three thousand years ago. The only string missing is that Jews must return to God’s covenant and remember who they are so that peace can finally prevail throughout the world with “the wolf and lamb grazing together…” as prophesied by Isaiah 65:25.
WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE…

As if Israel did not have enough problems dealing with terrorism surrounding this tiny country and the scrutiny of the international community trying to undermine and prevent it from defending itself, we have now an Obama administration which in less than 100 days has forthrightly adopted the negotiating position of Arabs vis-à-vis Israel. Why I keep rehashing on Obama’s stand toward Israel, very simply, because facts on the ground speak loudly about his rebuke of the only democratic country in the Middle East, as opposed to his soft and partnering stand with the Islamic world.
For starters, we have seen the escalating pressure that Barack Hussein Obama and his Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, has been putting on Israel to stop settlement construction, including for normal growth, in fact parroting Palestinian authority’s President Abbas, who has proclaimed that “peace talks” will not take place unless the Jewish people beyond the green line, are not only prevented from having babies or marrying, but they are expected to be evicted from Judea and Samaria, thus making these territories judenrein.
Obama’s apparent and overt alliance with the Arab world, including his apologetic speech delivered recently in Cairo, deliberately ignored past terrorism and Jihadist conflicts perpetrated against Israel as a result of the defunct Oslo agreement in spite of Israel’s continuous gestures toward peace. This so-called “staunch ally” is also ignoring the writings in the PA’s and Hamas covenants, their media incitement and Imams’ brainwashing tactics preaching that Palestine was stolen from them and that Israel has no right whatsoever to even an inch of the land.
Obama’s stand and Middle East policies against Israel including his soft talk on Iran have major Jewish leaders in the U.S. worried. For example, in his recent speech in Cairo, Obama spoke of Palestinian “resistance” a term that can only be translated into Israel being an illegal occupier, followed by equating the Palestinian “struggle” with Black South Africans during apartheid, in fact confirming the Arab allegation that Israel is a racist, apartheid state. To add salt to the wound, Obama also proclaimed that the Jewish homeland came about with the tragic history of the Holocaust, either deliberately or naively disregarding Jewish historical, cultural and biblical roots to Israel for thousands of years. All in all, Obama’s apparent evenhandedness between Islamic entities such as the PA and Hamas and Israel’s struggle for survival is quite disconcerting and worrisome.
We are stuck with a President of the U.S. who is kowtowing to hostile and terrorist entities and who refuses to call evil by its name. In the meantime, the clock is ticking quickly and Iran is continuing its deadly path toward producing nuclear weaponry. As Obama’s shocking offense to Israel and the Jewish people in general is becoming more prominent and dangerous, it is obvious that Israel’s survival and future hinges on taking its decisions on national security into its own hands.
OBAMA’S TRUE COLORS
Since this writer has been away for the past two weeks, several events have struck the cord in Israel’s world affairs. First, and foremost, the much anticipated speech delivered by Barack Hussein Obama, the President of the U.S. to the Islamic world. In parallel to his recent greeting of the King of Saudi Arabia with a full bow in April, 2009, he again duplicated this bow through placating words to extremist Islamists of the world by offering a display of absurd apologies. In his clearly anti-Israel discourse, Barak Hussein Obama put the onus of the Middle East conflict on Israel’s unabated building of settlements in Judea and Samaria, discounting the road map which justly demands that the Palestinian authority disband terrorism on its turf and eliminate incitement and hatred of the Jewish state, something they have never bothered doing. Although proclaiming himself a Christian, he confessed his father’s and ancestors’ Islamic roots and his Islamic education in Indonesia. Under Islamic law, Barack Hussein Obama should be well aware that if his father is of Islamic faith, he is automatically of this very faith. It was obvious for all to see and hear in his speech in Cairo, where his mind and soul stand for, especially vis-à-vis the fate of Israel. In addition, by proclaiming that the U.S. will never be at war with the Islamic world, he, in essence, gave free reigns to extreme Islamists to continue their theocratic annihilistic warfare against the West.
The other significant news pertains to the speech delivered by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in response to Barack Hussein Obama’s Cairo rhetoric. To somehow soothe U.S. pressure on Israel, this Prime Minister, although politely allowing the notion of a Palestinian State, albeit demilitarized, stood firm on the settlement issue by not “obeying” U.S.’s directive to stop building for natural growth. Another important and overdue clarification to Obama’s false assertion that Israel’s existence was merely due to Holocaust guilt, in fact ignoring the indisputable Israel’s historic roots going back over 3,000 years, Prime Minister Netanyahu asserted to the world that Israel preceded any other religion in the Land of Israel by recalling the ancient kingdoms of David and Salomon and its undeniable legitimacy as the State of the Jewish people.
It is clear that this President Obama is bent on carving an Islamic Palestinian state in the heart of Israel in order to placate the Islamic world, wrongly surmising that it will bring peace. President Hussein Obama should fare well by rather concentrating on the poor state of the U.S. economy, the turmoil taking place in Afghanistan, the nuclear intentions of N. Korea and Iran, and the famine in the world rather than demanding that Israel stop building extra bathrooms or bedrooms to accommodate for natural growth. However, we hope that this new Netanyahu administration will be wise enough to dismiss the U.S.’s pressure and look to its own interest as a sovereign nation in order to safeguard the safety of its citizens rather than serve as a U.S. vassal and a sacrificial lamb to the world.
PARTITION IS A NO, NO
May 26, 2009 by yipbop · Leave a Comment
We have all heard from reliable sources and historical facts that Israel is not bound to give up any land, especially to terrorist entities whose covenant is to destroy Jewish existence in the Middle East. But we have a problem; the non-Arab people inhabiting the Western world are so afraid to lose or to have their oil interrupted on account of Israel’s existence, in addition to having their lives disrupted by acts of terrorism, that Israel’s survival is the least of their worries. The major problem facing the Free world is either ignorance, sublime optimism that nothing will ever happen to them, stupidity, or all of the above.
Those in the world who are well acquainted with Jewish and Israel’s history are cognizant of the fact that a sovereign country called Palestine never existed prior to 1948 or even 1967. In fact, Security Council 242 never promised to the so-called “Palestinians” that they will ever have a country called Palestine. During the war of Independence in 1948 where the Jewish people in their newborn state had to defend themselves from annihilation, the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) and Gaza fell illegally under the control of Egypt and Jordan who exercised unauthorized and cruel control over these territories. What is most eye-opening is the fact that in 1922, Great Britain of their own volition, split the 78% of the land which was entitled to the Jewish people, and gave it on a silver platter to King Abdullah, himself not a Palestinian. In 1947, a second partition to give land to the Arabs was enacted by the new United Nations. What transpired is that the Arabs did not accept dividing the land with the Jews. In 1967, against all odds, miraculously, Israel won a defensive war against several Arab armies which gave Israel control of all the land illegally taken by Jordan and Egypt, including Jerusalem and the Golan Heights from Syria.
In biblical terms, Israel has been and is the homeland of the Jewish people for thousands of years. Jewish kings reigned in this land, including Saul, David and Solomon among many others, and two Jewish temples stood before they were destroyed, surprisingly exactly on the same date by the Babylonians and then the Romans. Because the Jewish people rebelled against God, they were exiled to Babylon and then to the four corners of the world until the miraculous birth of the State of Israel some two thousand years later.
This simplified history of the Jewish people’s unequivocal roots to the Land of Israel, the political maneuvers by Great Britain and the hostility of the Arab world that ensued, should remind everyone that Israel has the right and even more so than any other country in the world to hold on to the entire land of Israel and secure it against intruders calling themselves Palestinians. Israel is microscopic in size and any partition with those whose aim is to destroy the Jewish state would render it with indefensible borders. The Arabs have been blessed with 22 Arab countries and they can make room for a 23rd country in their midst if they so wished. They could also make room for the so-called Arab refugees who are perpetually in U.N.-sponsored camps such as UNRWA. But this is unlikely, because the conflict is not about land, but about a violent and implacable ideology. Until the Western world acknowledges and assimilates this concept, peace will never exist in this part of the world.
THE SHAKY ISRAEL/US ALLIANCE
May 20, 2009 by yipbop · Leave a Comment
The visit of Prime Minister Netanyahu is drawing to its end and I must confess that the Prime Minister stood firm in his deliberate abstinence to parrot the aspirations of the U.S. and Europe for a two-state solution. I believe that he is the only Prime Minister to oppose Israel’s suicidal carving of a 23rd Islamic state in Israel proper. President Hussein Obama, with his broad smile, made sure to continue coercing Netanyahu to halt settlement construction in Judea and Samaria (including natural growth so that women already living there cannot have babies or marry), and the forging of a terrorist state to placate the Arab world; Jordan King Abudullah’s recent unremitting jogging throughout the U.S. and Arab countries is also doing his bid to enlist support for the same inimical goal against the security of Israel.
We all know that Israel is a sovereign country who had no choice but to defend itself several times from destruction against fervent Arab armies bent on annihilating the Jews from the Middle East. After the Arabs’ defeat, especially the miraculous victory in 1967, the enemies of Israel realized that they could not vanquish the Jews through military means. Arafat, the PLO’s chief who brought his hateful and suicidal bombing strategic approach to Israel’s shores, was no dummy and played double game with the Free world, getting in exchange for his false peace pledges billions of dollars which ended up in his private coffers. His constant declaration of “peace of the brave” was more like “peace at the grave.” Arafat’s evil agenda was followed by the concoction of the Oslo Accord tragedy which caused over 1,110 deaths and 10,000 wounded, maimed and paralyzed.
Why I am still rehashing in this essay of the imminent dangers facing this real estate called the Holy Land and the world? Because the citizens of the world, whether Christians or Jews themselves, should realize that the pressure on Israel to endure a second genocide through a two-state solution continues unabated with every new President of the U.S. However, this time, the Obama administration is dead-set on accomplishing what others have failed from the very early stages of their presidency. This administration is ultra-liberal and the U.S. citizens are not yet realizing that if the policies brought about by Obama persist, the U.S. will end up becoming a socialist country rather than a land of opportunity. Most dangerous, Obama’s ignorant strategy is to placate through diplomacy its enemies, including Iran, Syria and their terrorist satellites. And let’s not forget the alliances being forged as we speak by Iran with terrorist entities and the leaders of South and Central America, especially the dictator Hugo Chavez of Venezuela. The threat that a nuclear Iran represents for the stability of the world at large is inconceivable.
Prime Minister Netanyahu who is to be praised for his steadfast and unshakable belief that a two-state solution would be detrimental to the well-being of Israel in spite of being watched by immutable members of Obama’s cabinet, specifically warned Obama Hussein to start taking measures to stop Iran from becoming nuclear. Through Iran’s malefic alliances behind the door with countries close to U.S. shores and terrorist entities bent on Islamizing the world, the threat of nuclear bombs reaching the U.S. is clear to envisage. Let’s hope that Prime Minister Netanyahu has the fortitude and leadership to continue to reject the two-state scenario, and, if necessary independently, fight the forces of evil on its track to spare the world of an obscure and deadly future.
AHMADINEJAD’S STRATEGIC COMPLIANCE
April 27, 2009 by yipbop · Leave a Comment
The Iranian President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, stated on April 26th, 2009 that he was bipartisan to a two-state solution between the Palestinians and Israel. That this rhetoric is spewed by one of the most virulent anti-Semitic and holocaust deniers of our times should send a clear message to everyone who is concerned about Israel’s survival, that this solution pressured by the community of nations upon Israel is indeed a suicidal path. In other words, the leader of a fanatical Shiite country whose ultimate aim is to spread Shariah laws and create a caliphate throughout the world is joining the chorus of the global community for Israel to give up strategic and life-saving land to terrorist entities.
Let’s analyze for a moment Ahmadinejad’s surprising interview with ABC’s This Week. This Jew hater is indeed no moron. In fact, he knows that Israel possesses one of the strongest and most efficient armies in the world and that five different wars by Arab countries had been decimated in the past. He clearly understands that the only way to defeat the “Zionist entity,” as he calls it, would be in stages, piece by piece. He knows that by giving up Judea and Samaria, as well as the holiest of Jewish sites, the Temple Mount, Israel will end up having indefensible borders and the Jewish people will have no place to worship, nor to build the Third Temple as prophesied in Ezekiel 37. The term “land for peace” is a clever strategy concocted by the enemies of the Jewish people to rid themselves of what they term an encumbrance in Middle East affairs. The world community believes and certainly claims that by using Israel as “the scapegoat”, life will be safer for the entire world, oil will flow unobstructed to their cities and terrorism will miraculously subside. Ahmadinejad, cognizant of Israel’s power, including nuclear capabilities, albeit not confirmed by Israel, understands full well that in order to reach his ultimate goals, that the “land for peace” strategy is the best suicidal path for Israel’s a.k.a. “Little Satan” destruction. The U.S. or “Big Satan” is part of this Iranian strategy.
Leaders such as Ahmadinejad’s and Hamas’ antagonistic feelings towards Israel and the Jewish people abound throughout the globe. However, at least when they speak, they are not hypocritical and they express their inner hateful sentiments openly and undiplomatically. Albeit, this time, Ahmadinejad is seeing the subterfuge light. In contrast, leaders such as Abbas and his ilk’s, and the diplomats in Europe and the U.S., including the King of Jordan, only look after their own interests and speak double talk when it comes to Israel’s safety and future. For them, the disappearance of the Jewish State would be a relief and a “good riddance” sort of position.
Ahmadinejad’s latest rhetoric, rather than being welcome, should awake those who wish to preserve the continued existence of Israel that the pressure imposed on Israel to establish a Palestinian state in the heart of Israel is a criminal and a nihilistic proposition that would sever Israel’s and the Jewish people’s existence.
THE MYTH OF OCCUPATION (cont.)
March 17, 2009 by yipbop · Leave a Comment
Myth of Occupation
This essay is an important complement to the one published in February, 2009. Several words have been used by the media and even by Israel’s far left and post-zionist individuals vis-à-vis Israel’s defensive conflicts, especially the still unchallenged term “occupation.” No matter how many people are slaughtered in cafes, pizza parlors, buses and hotels, and the incessant rocket attacks against civilians in the South, the word “occupation,” seems to take center stage as an apologetic excuse for despicable massacres with an accomplice world. This word goes hand-in-hand with terms such as “freedom fighters” and “resistance.”
For those of you who are still clinging to the word “occupation” for lack of historical knowledge, Palestine has never existed as a sovereign state before Israel’s defensive “Six Day war” in 1967 or even when the State of Israel was created in 1948. Indeed, Resolution 242, highly proclaimed by all Arab states, does not promise a State of Palestine. In 1948, following the War of Independence against five Arab countries, the so-called West Bank (Judea and Samaria) was illegally controlled by Jordan, and Gaza by Egypt. However, the Arab countries did not lift a finger to create a Palestinian state in these territories. After Israel’s unexpected and miraculous victory against warring Arab states in 1967, there was no sovereign entity to which the territories gained by Israel could be returned. Moreover, the idea of Palestinian self-determination did not emerge until after the 1967 war.
What is the origin of the word “Palestine?” For starters, prior to 1948, Arabs and Jews were called Palestinians. Two thousand years ago, the Roman Empire under Hadrian named Israel Palestine, and the Greeks and Romans called it Palastina, not an Arabic name. Currently, the Arabs pronounce it as “Falastin”, an imaginary entity, never a nation or state.
It is also worth mentioning a very important fact: the PLO, under Arafat, was founded in 1964, three years prior the 1967 war. Thus, which “occupied” territories did the PLO try to recover? It is plainly obvious that it is not just the liberation of Judea and Samaria, but of the entire land of Israel. The Oslo accords which calls for “land for peace” and the “Road Map” leading to a two-state solution “living peacefully side by side with Israel,” is a suicide pact meant to severely threaten the very existence of the Land of Israel.
The new liberal Obama administration and its Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, compounded by the UK, the EU and the UN have already initiated their relentless pressure on Israel to withdraw from land which would mean uprooting many thousands of Jewish families from their homes and carve in their place a terrorist enclave eager to exterminate what they falsely claim is their land, a suicidal pact.
