Although even Yitzhak Rabin vowed there would never be a recognition of, or negotiation with, the P.L.O. and that there would never be a Palestinian state, politician after politician from various political Israeli parties has nevertheless succumbed to the constant internationally pushed idea of a Palestinian state

Although even Yitzhak Rabin vowed there would never be a recognition of, or negotiation with, the P.L.O. and that there would never be a Palestinian state, politician after politician from various political Israeli parties has nevertheless succumbed to the constant internationally pushed idea of a Palestinian state: A Palestinian state the same Yitzhak Rabin said would bring about the ruin of the reborn State of Israel. By not sticking to their guns, these Israeli leaders have set a trap of their own making. They have done so first of all by recognizing an arch terrorist and pathological liar as a bona fide peacemaker before the nations of the world, and secondly by accepting as inevitable and not to be contested the idea of an independent Palestinian state on Holy Land soil - a land that was given as an eternal possession to God's people the Jews.

Is there then no Israeli politician of standing and influence left to argue and speak against this utter foolishness which the nations, in their desire to quiet things down in the Middle East for their own benefit, are blindly pressuring Israel to accept? Is there no one who can, once and for all, blow the whistle on such a plan of folly and destruction? Are they all afraid of the Goyim and the self-serving wisdom which they force upon Israel, which alone is asked to risk its nation and security to appease the unappeasable? Arafat was finished and seen publicly humiliated when he was driven out of Beirut as a conquered terrorist gang leader by the victorious IDF. Yet Israel, in unrestrained stupidity, turned him into international hero through the OSLO "peace process" - worthy later of the prestigious Nobel Prize for Peace awarded in the capital bearing that same name - a hero accepted now by the nations of the world BECAUSE ISRAEL brought him back to life! So what are you complaining about, Israel? It is all of your own making. You, by pursuing this process against the wish and wisdom of some of your most admired statesmen, have now cornered yourself between your enemies on one side and the world on the other side, which urges you in beautiful sounding speeches - like those just made by Condoleezza Rice and Tony Blair - to complete the process you yourself so foolishly began and so commit suicide a little later down this 'road.'

So, continue having your heavily-accented political memorial mass meetings for the murder of your beloved former prime minister and leader, but don't tell the people that he was against the precise thing that is being spawned today - the establishment of a Palestinian state that in its suggested present form will spell the end - as he himself warned - of the nation of Israel. Even if there are few among Israel's leaders to courageously stand against any further negotiations with today's Palestinian leadership, the resolution of US House Republican Whip Roy Blunt together with Rep. Shelley Berkley under the present circumstances is refreshing in its clarity. One wishes more Israeli Knesset members would find the courage to take the same clear stand as their U.S. counterparts have done! Their resolution can impact the outcome of the upcoming Annapolis Summit by calling for Palestinian accountability.

Last week Blunt (R-MO) introduced House Resolution 758 jointly with Berkley (D-NV), calling on Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, also chairman of his Fatah Party, to officially renounce ten articles in the Fatah Constitution that call for Israel's destruction and acts of terrorism against its people. The Fatah Constitution opposes any political solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and it labels Zionism as racism. Examples of the offensive language among the ten separate articles that explicitly seek to incite violence against the State of Israel include the following: Article 17("armed public revolution is the inevitable method to liberating Palestine") Article 19("the struggle will not cease unless the Zionist state is demolished") Article 22("opposing any political solution offered as an alternative to demolishing the Zionist occupation of Palestine") Rep. Blunt released the following statement: "There can be no reasonable expectation of a broad-based, long-term reconciliation between the Israelis and Palestinians while one side's constituting document calls for the complete destruction of the other.

I believe it's absolutely critical that the insidious nature of the Palestinian constitution be brought to light - and that those with a genuine interest in working toward peace insist its most unconstructive provisions be abrogated from the text. "It goes without saying that a basic condition of negotiating with someone is recognizing their right to exist - and once that's granted, the right to live without fear of terrorism. But, at least according to the ruling party's constitution, even these fundamental concessions continue to be rejected by the Palestinian leadership. "The resolution I've offered with Rep. Shelley Berkley builds on the Arafat Accountability Act of 2002, which sought to bring action against former Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat as long as he continued to sanction acts of terrorism against Israel. This resolution takes a different approach, but the message remains the same: As long as Mahmoud Abbas and the Fatah Party continue to promote the wholesale destruction of Israel, there can be no possibility for peace - whether in our time, or any other."
