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.
IS THERE A MUSLIM IN THE WHITE HOUSE?

It’s in the news, not only in Israel but throughout the world, that the new U.S. President, Barack Hussein Obama’s latest demands of Israel are not gaining much sympathy, not only from right wingers, but even from the Left crowd in Israel and U.S. He has displayed bigoted naivety with his insistence that Israel freeze settlement construction in many parts of Eastern Jerusalem. In fact, Obama is actually telling Israel that “Jews are not allowed to live in some parts of its capital city, Jerusalem.” What a chutzpah! While Israeli Arabs can rent and buy property anywhere they wish, Jews, as if to prolong the ghetto verdict of past times, cannot.
Not only has Obama offended most Jews who care about their identity, respect and security, he has also emboldened the Arab countries, especially the PA President, Mahmoud Abbas to continue to make even more outrageous demands from Israel. Indeed, the PA leadership does not have to lift a finger any longer; let the U.S., the “staunch ally” of Israel take care of their business; it is so much more effective. In fact, Prime Minister Netanyahu fumed at this imposition and admitted to being “surprised” as to how the so-called “staunch ally” of Israel could even suggest, let alone make, such a claim. This President Obama, as I pointed out in many of this writer’s previous essays, is taking sides with the Muslim world while repudiating Israel’s security and well-being. Is it naivety or is he instinctively pursuing Israel’s decline at the behest of the Islamic world? He has recently bowed and praised Saudi Arabia’s king where human rights violations are the highest in the world and, importantly, where no Jew can set foot in this country and apologized to the Islamic world in his “historic” speech in Cairo. Barack Hussein Obama even neglected to mention to the Muslim world that the Jews have a historic, cultural and religious link to the Land of Israel, by instead stating that Israel deserved to exist due to the Jews’ suffering during the Holocaust. His stance against Israel also disregards the unrelenting terrorism in the form of intifadas and rocket fire, the incitement and the covenants from Fatah and Hamas calling for the demise of Israel.
As I said previously, Barack Hussein Obama is either a very inexperienced and naïve politician on foreign policy or an astute pro-Islamic, anti-Israel player whose ultimate goal is to gain power and sympathies from the Islamic world even if it would threaten the security of Israel. If he actually dreams of his ambition of being the first President to actualize “peace” between Israel and the Palestinians, he is in for a downfall because Israel will not commit suicide. Just recently, and I presume that Obama does not read headlines when they are not in his strategic favor, a veteran senior leader of Fatah and other prominent members of the Palestinian authority government have proclaimed that they will never recognize Israel’s right to exist, nor would they relinquish the armed struggle against Israel.
The erosion of Israel’s security by splitting its land and sharing it with sworn enemies through Obama’s unrealistic and sinister demands is forging animosity and distrust from Jews around the world. The overwhelming majority of Jews in the U.S. who voted for Obama are in for a big disappointment should he continue with his dangerous anti-Israel stand which actually nullifies his previous pledge to safeguard the security and well-being of Israel.
THE TRUTH EXPOSED
July 19, 2009 by yipbop · Leave a Comment
I recently read a piece of very interesting news which I thought deserved to make front-page headlines in major newspapers around the world, however it was hardly heard or spoken of. It has to do with the so-called “right of return” for the Palestinian “refugees” during the Arab/Israel War of Independence in 1948, and a statement that was made in the Al-Palestinia TV by none other than the leader and President of the PLO, Mahmoud Abbas, a.k.a., Abbu Mazen. It appears that during this speech, his wits were in need of repair when he inadvertently confessed that due to the fear of the Jews taking vengeance on the massacres perpetrated by the Arabs in Hebron, that he and his family voluntarily left Safed on foot under the cover of darkness toward Jordan and then Syria. There you have it! The most vocal voice in the Palestinian society, its leader, shot himself in the foot when he actually contradicted what he has been preaching throughout his career as the number 2 man next to Arafat and now as President. To compound this confession, he even declared that at that time, “People were motivated to run away since they feared retribution from Zionist terrorist organizations…”
I would like you to refer to a previous essay in this web site wherein I wrote extensively about the two-faced, corrupt and holocaust denier, Abbas with whom the international community is pressing Israel to make “peace” with. The ominous “right of return” has been the culprit of Arafat, Abbas and all the leaders of the so-called Palestinians. In fact, it is the primordial tenet probably holding any peace agreement with the Palestinians. They claim that in the 1948 Israel’s defensive war against five Arab armies bent on Israel’s destruction, thousands upon thousands of Arabs living in Palestine were forcefully expelled from the land and their properties vandalized and extorted from them. They further claim that no peace will ever succeed unless millions of Palestinian refugees including their descendants return to Israel, a clever subterfuge for the eradication of the Jewish state.
In a similar context, although the Arabs claim that most Palestinians are native and indigenous to Palestine, this premise fails to stand up to historical scrutiny and is in fact a fabrication, a hoax if you would. However, it has metamorphosed into a key rallying point for Arab nationalism throughout the Middle East similar to the “right of return.” According to the words of Abbas, the President of the PLO, their exile from Israel was on their own free volition since they feared a reprisal to the massacre committed against 67 members of the ancient Jewish community of Hebron in 1929 instigated by the infamous, Nazi driven Mufty of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini.
So the global media has wisely minimized and even covered up this particular piece of confession by a prominent Palestinian leader since the new world order would never expose anything that would upset or offend the Arab world. In contrast, it appears that there is a global consensus to diabolize, lambast, and curse Israel, more so than any other country in the world. The new world order now led by the Obama administration who even called terrorists “resistance fighters” despite their attacks on civilians and is using a relaxed attitude toward those who are aiming at de-stabilizing the world such as Iran, Syria and N. Korea, will not succeed and will instead encourage diabolical malfeasance. In the absence of justice, and when treaties are based on lies and fabrications, peace, calm and confidence will not come to pass in our time (Isaiah 32:17).
ARAFAT’S LEGACY CONTINUES

In many of my previous essays under the “terrorism” category, I have stressed the futility and danger for Israel to cede more land to the Palestinian authority which also comprises the terrorist entity, Hamas, a satellite of Iran and Hezbollah. In 1993, the famous White House Lawn signing of the Oslo agreement, effectively brought Arafat and his regime of murderers as peace partners in Israel. Since then, this arch-terrorist and inventor of plane hijackings, brainwashed an entire generation of Palestinians to the duty of hating Jews and the rewards awaiting them in paradise by killing them. He fooled the world by speaking in English of the “peace of the brave” and of his recognition of Israel. But in Arabic, he promoted the historic exclusive rights of the Palestinian people to historic Palestine, based exclusively on religious grounds. He instigated a jihad or holy war in Israel against the Jews through unrelenting suicide bombings which took the lives of hundreds of innocent women and children in Israel.
Upon Arafat’s death, the cause of which has remained a mystery, this PLO leader who left behind him hundreds of families morning for their children and who stole hundreds of millions of dollars for his private coffers from incredulous Western donors, was given a hero’s burial ceremony by the then President of France, Jacques Chirac, and the United Nations in New York honored him by lowering its flag to half-mast.
What this story, that you probably all know shows, is that terrorism wins. We have seen it with Arafat, and we are also seeing it with Hezbollah, Iran and with the new terrorist leader of the PLO, Mahmoud Abbas. Enter Mahmoud Abbas who is considered by the world community as an ideal partner for Israel. In fact, Mr. Abbas, along with Arafat, is one of the founding members of the notorious Fatah terrorist organization, and his doctoral dissertation in 1982 refuted the Jewish holocaust. In addition, Mr. Abbas wrote a book which was later translated into Arabic entitled “The secret relationship between Nazism and Zionism.” Due to his anti-Israel propaganda background, he became an idyllic partner for Arafat. By the way, it is important to mention that the PLO was created prior to Israel’s 1967 victory and acquisition of the “occupied” territories, indicating that their terrorist mandate was to wipe Israel off the map.
In essence, Mr. Abbas is following Arafat’s footsteps; the only difference is that he is wearing a suit and a tie. The U.S., the EU, UN and quartet view this “moderate” leader as an answer to their prayers of shrinking Israel to suicidal borders. Mr. Abbas categorically refuses to recognize Israel as a Jewish state since if he did so, it would revoke what Arafat had been proclaiming to his people throughout his career, that the Jews have no historic or cultural link to Israel and that no Jewish temples ever existed, in fact that we are usurpers of the land.
Israel is threatened in all of its borders by fanatical religious terrorist entities bent on the destruction of Israel. The imposed Western Annapolis and road map, and the Arab suicidal Saudi plan with a “peace” partner such as Abbas, an Arafat clone, are no peace solutions, but rather the “final solution” used by Nazis for the eradication of the Jewish race. Throughout the Jewish scriptures, God promised that the Jewish nation is eternal and that no evil forces committed to its destruction will ever prevail. This covenant has already been proven throughout Israel’s five war victories since 1948 against implacable Arab enemies and it will continue until the final Jewish redemption.
NETANYAHU’S CHALLENGE
April 30, 2009 by yipbop · Leave a Comment
In these trouble times, I would not want to be in the Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu’s shoes, and indeed neither in the Foreign Minister’s. Netanyahu is preparing his sale presentation on the Palestinian conflict to the Obama administration on May 18th 2009 and the preliminary reports issued by the soft-spoken Obama could be translated into either you obey our policy with regard to a Palestinian State, no matter at what cost to Israel, or you’ll lose our support. The EU, the failed quartet and the UN are all backing Obama’s rhetoric which includes support for the abysmal Saudi plan. In fact, just recently Javier Solana, the European Union foreign policy chief, issued another threat to Israel: “the international community would deal with the next Israeli government according to its program and platform,” and we know what this program and platform are.
Netanyahu’s plan to be presented to Obama is well thought out and is certainly realistic and judicious, based on the terror entities Israel is dealing with. He will have the difficult task of replacing the weak and suicidal policies concocted by Livni, Olmert and Condoleezza Rice prior to leaving office. His first order of business, and rightly so, is the urgency to stop Iran from producing nuclear weapons, since as he puts it, this threat prevails over any of the other dangers. Obama is probably waiting for the June elections in Iran in hopes that Ahmadinejad will be replaced by a more “moderate” leader. But even if this diabolical figure loses the elections, the government in Iran is led by Ayatollas and Mullahs who support Ahmadinejad’s demonization and destruction of Israel and also label the U.S. as the Big Satan. Next item in Netanyahu’s agenda is Syria, a terrorist entity that Obama is also intending to schmooze like Iran, again to no avail. And the third and last threat to Israel is of course the corrupt and terrorist PLO led by the holocaust denier, Mahmoud Abbas. If Obama’s election in the U.S. was based on his intelligence and wisdom for change, and his “unshakeable” support of Israel, he shouldn’t argue, let alone reject, Netanyahu’s clear agenda of dealing with the PA, which is based on building institutions and a strong economy in the Palestinian territories, demand rejection of terrorism and recognition of Israel as a Jewish State prior to any commitment for a two-state solution. How can anyone in his right mind push for another Arab state in the heart of Israel when the Palestinians themselves are divided, their covenant calls for the destruction of Israel and their media is full of Jewish demonization?
I sincerely hope that Netanyahu will avoid a confrontation with Obama, but if there is a duel, we will know Obama’s true colors. Israel is an independent and sovereign state and Netanyahu should stand tall in defense of Israel’s interest and security. The terrorist threat in the U.S. following the deadly event of 9/11 has unfortunately been dispatched as an eight-year old solitary event. Let’s hope that the current global myopic view of global terrorism will not repeat itself again with yet another deadly attack.
THE CLOCK IS TICKING FAST

In the past, I have written many essays warning Israel against making any peace treaty with the terrorist entities, the PLO and Hamas. I have emphasized the absurdity and danger of ceding any land from Israel to those who desire Israel’s annihilation. This present essay is to confirm my previous thoughts.
Just recently, you have probably read the headlines with regard to the PLO’s position vis-à-vis recognition of the State of Israel. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, rightly so, requested the President of the PLO, Mahmoud Abbas to recognize Israel as a “Jewish state” prior to pursuing any peace deals. As expected, the Palestinian authority rejected this concept and called it a “provocation” and claimed that the new Israeli government was placing obstacles before the “solution” of two states for two peoples being promoted by the United States. Hamas, on the other hand, being more forthright and less hypocritical than the PLO, has always followed this mindset, calling it not Israel, but the Zionist entity.
I would like the International community of nations to pause and question why in the world Israel should withdraw back to the pre-1967 borders, give up half of Jerusalem including our holiest of sites, evict hundreds of thousands of Jewish families from their homes, in exchange for a false peace with two entities whose only goal is to annihilate the Jewish state? Obama’s special envoy, George Mitchell, can talk all he wants, shuttle hundreds of times to Israel, set up an office in Jerusalem, and offer his hypocritical smile to all of the leaders of Israel, but what he desires is to gain fame, add kudos to his resume and obey Obama’s strategy of schmoozing with the terrorists, to the detriment of Israel. Jordan’s King Hussein is also charging at full gallop toward creating a suicidal two-state in the heart of Israel, just looking toward his own interest of preventing the potential settlement of a bulk of hostile Palestinians to his shores.
In the present Durban II conference held yesterday, April 21st 2009, many nations except a few have once again shown their true colors. We have seen Norway and Switzerland welcome and applaud Iran’s President, Ahmadinejad, the most famous typification of anti-Semitic personalities, deliver a vitriolic speech still debasing the Jewish state and pressing for its eradication. Aside from Israel, he also accused the Western world of setting off both World War I and II and of imposing unfair economic conditions on the developing world. As you all know, Iran identifies the U.S. as “the great Satan” and Israel as “the little Satan.” With this type of malevolent and accusatory rhetoric, by a country bent on acquiring deadly nuclear power, the U.S. and Europe should be wise to bond together and stop this continuing threat by all means necessary rather than using Obama’s strategy of appeasing the Islamic world through carrots and praises, thus allowing more time for this fanatical Iranian leadership to fulfill its genocidal threat against the world.
This writer should not be labeled either right, left, or centrist wing; I base my comments on facts on the ground and hope that given the evidence, the readers of these essays will realize that the clock is indeed ticking toward an incoming nuclear threat by a country and allies whose fanaticism and obsessive desire to Islamize and rule the world is quickly forthcoming, unless courage, wisdom and pragmatism on the part of the Western countries take precedent.
