Delusional Illusions and Myopia

Nurit Greenger
8/25/09

Isaiah’s prophecy: A nation shall not lift up sword against another nation and they shall not learn war. (Isaiah 2:4)
When Isaiah? Soon? Ever?
Unfortunately not right now, not in a world that is morally bankrupt, not in a world that loves to lie, to incite and quarrel, to hate and riot, to kill and go to war.
Not in a world where conservatism equals Nazism, where the level of naiveté, regarding evil, is almost exclusive to the dominating Left, not in a world where patriotism hardly exists and when you dissent with the government’s questionable actions you are questioned for your patriotism or accused for disobeying the law.
The trouble is everywhere. Islamonazi rogue Iran is going nuclear; tyrannical rough North Korea is nuclear already. What dangerous regime will be next to take on the nuclear race without being halted?
Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq are terrorism and war bastion. In China, the Muslims are rising and rioting.
Belligerent Russia is attempting to gain its previous USSR satellite countries, using intimidation and force. Since the United States is no longer the ‘Super power’ and the leader of the free world there is no one to stand up and protect these fledgling democracies from the Russian alligator.
The African continent is in an on going turmoil, famine and is diseases infested.
The Europeans are sleeping while their European Union is slowly slipping away and becoming the Eurabia Union.
Australians, Canadians and Americans are turning a blind, or not so blind eye, yielding to multiculturalism, thus allowing the Muslims in their midst to gain political and social strength and gaining control over many aspects of the freedom for all system. Islamic Sharia law is now popping and is practiced in many Western institutes biting into the democratic system we worked so hard to have but now hardly protect and defend. More so, the Western Academia is flooded with Islamic oil money and this money buys even freedom of thinking and speech Western society and its education system was so proud of practicing. But now, no more.
Corruption is deeply embedded in the entire world political system and institutes and trust is no longer a word one commonly uses.
And last but not least, Jews and Israel. The conflict between the Arabs and Israel, which has garnered disproportionate share of the world’s focus since 1947, continues with no end in sight. The bloodthirsty Jihadi annihilationists are exponentially growing and anti-Semitism and newly surfacing libels are becoming the norm among many folks.
The United States and Israel are just about the last stronghold of freedom and democracy in its true form. Israel and the Untied States have more than organizational relations but an organic one. Our countries share a common heritage of being established to escape tyranny and establish religious liberty and personal freedom.
The conflict in the Middle East and the struggle of the Jewish people have been the reason that Americans were sent to war, which was to stop Germanys’ maniacal attempt to take control over the world and annihilate all Jews and the attempt to establish an Islamic domination in the Middle East and eventually in the world.
Benjamin Franklin once said: “Those who beat their swords into plowshares usually end up plowing the fields for those who did not.” After two World Wars that took place on the European continent in which millions of Europeans died, the Europeans have already beaten their swords into plowshares. Islamofascism is rampant in Europe and the delusional illusion and myopia that all will be good at the end is the Europeans prevailing way of thinking. The question is will the Queen of England eventually wear a burka and become a dhimmi of Islam? Will the French who are serving Escargot dipped in garlic sauce eventually be serving it in tehini sauce instead? Or, will the traditional Italian prosciutto [an aged, dry-cured, spiced Italian ham] be forbidden?
The United States’ Founding Fathers gave the American people the Constitution to protect the nation’s liberties but with the Obama Government its merit is fast slipping away. The American people must stand united and muster the strength to preserve the most valuable document ever given to the people by the governing power.
It is important for the world to know that Israel is not renting land in the Holy Land; it is the owner of this land, it is the proprietor of the Land of Israel. Israel is the insurance policy for the entire Jewish nation, all the Jewish people wherever they live. Without strong Israel there is no Jerusalem, without Jerusalem there is no Israel and without Jerusalem there is no Jewish people. Unless Jews want to see the repetition of exile, Inquisition, Pogroms and Holocaust, the message to Jews here could not be clearer. Stand up and defend Israel with all your being!
Want to run away from it all? Tell us where to, and many of us will join. But there is nowhere to run away to when the world elected to be in deep delusional illusion and myopia. Optimism does not stand for dismissal of reality and will get us nowhere.
The solution is to face it, admit it and try stand for what is right; stand courageous to do what seems to be the impossible, which is to oppose the wrong and work hard to bring about the necessary changes we are all so desperately seeking.
Throughout history wise people left us their legacy of ‘what to do list’ wisdom. Winston Churchill believed that victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival! This leaves us with one choice, which is to fight for victory.
We must not arrive at the point of ancient Greece. Edward Gibbon believed that in the end more than they wanted freedom, they wanted security. When the Athenians finally wanted not to give to society but for society to give to them, when the freedom they wished for was freedom from responsibility, then Athens ceased to be free. The likelihood that Europe will cease to be a free society and it will become Dhimmis to Islam is rather clear and anticipated. The American people must not allow themselves to follow the Europeans’ footsteps.
It seems as if the people have somewhat given up. They rather live in denial and accept the fact that they may no longer have the ability to legislate or intervene and take hatred and evil out of existence. Unless this mindset evaporates fast, the consequences will be detrimental to the entire world. No distinction.
The mission to save the world from its delusional illusions and myopia is too great for one person, for thousands of persons or even millions, but gaining the power begins with one person at the time. While we still have the chance, united we must stand and fight all that is wrong, however, if divided we shall remain, the chances of us falling into a deeper abbeys is irrefutably imminent.

The IDF’s Minorities in Numbers and Pictures

In honor of IDF Diversity Week, we present diversity through numbers and pictures. Each year, more and more Muslims, Christians, Druze, Bedouin and immigrants from around the world take on the responsibility of defending Israel.

MUSLIMS:

Muslim Arab Israelis are not required to draft in the IDF, but there are many who volunteer. In 2013, there were over 200 Muslims serving in the IDF and over 300 in the reserves.

Bedouins:

Bedouins are nomadic Muslims who were in Israel when modern borders were set in place and are now considered Israeli citizens. They are not required to draft but a growing number choose to enlist. In 2012, there were over 1,400 Bedouin Muslim soldiers doing regular IDF service and almost 1,500 in the reserves.

Are you aware that in 2013, Middle class taxes go up-significantly?

In January of next year, the federal income tax rate for middle-class taxpayers is scheduled to rise from 25 percent to 28 percent, and the payroll tax is scheduled to rise from 13.3 percent to 15.3 percent… This drives the marginal tax rate based on the aforementioned three taxes to 48.12 percent. Add in state and local property, corporate, excise, and other state and local taxes, and the percentage of each additional dollar that is taxed hovers around 50 percent… When half of each additional dollar earned is taxed away, taxpayers experience a disincentive to start businesses or expand existing ones. This leads to fewer jobs being created.

Why is HAMAS Inside Tampa Schools?

Clare Lopez

Kelly Miliziano, who teaches history classes at Steinbrenner High School in the Tampa, Florida area apparently thinks it’s perfectly OK to invite a senior official of a HAMAS-affiliated organization into her classroom to discuss Islam with her students. According to local media reports, not only has this been going on for years, but in spite of the civil and criminal proceedings that could result from such reckless negligence, the Hillsborough County school superintendent, Mary Ellen Elia, and the chairman of the school board, Candy Olson, also expressed approval for students under their responsibility to be exposed repeatedly to guest speaker, Hassan Shibly, who is the Executive Director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in the Tampa area.

Did You Know... Ignoring the Call to Islam will Bring Jihad

‘Conquest through Da’wa [proselytizing] that is what we hope for. We will conquer Europe, we will conquer America! Not through sword but through Da’wa.’
-- Yousef al-Qaradawi , Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader The Arabic word ‘Da’wa’ means the “call to Islam.” But do not think that Da’wa is the same thing as an invitation to an optional holiday event. The classical Islamic doctrine of jihad mandates that enemies must be given the opportunity to convert to Islam or pay the jizya tax before it is permissible to attack them.

65.4 percent were anti-Jewish.
13.2 percent were anti-Islamic.
9.5 percent were anti-other religion, i.e., those not specified.

On March 31, 1977, the Dutch newspaper Trouw published an interview

with PLO executive committee member Zahir Muhsein. Here's what he said:

"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism.

For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan."

The Arab Apartheid

Ben-Dror Yemini
In 1948, the Arab countries refused to accept the UN partition proposal and they launched a war of annihilation against the State of Israel which had barely been established. All precedents in this matter showed that the party that starts the war - and with a declaration of annihilation, yet - pays a price for it. Between 550,000 and 710,000 Arabs fled because of the war and a larger number of 850,000 Jews were expelled or fled from Arab countries (the "Jewish nakba").
Population exchanges and expulsions were the norm at that time, occurring in dozens of other conflict points and affecting about 52 million people. In all the population exchange precedents that occurred during or at the end of an armed conflict, there was no return of refugees to the previous region, which had turned into a new national state.
Only the Arab states acted completely differently from the rest of the world. Instead of assimilating the refugees, they crushed them despite the fact that they were their coreligionists and members of the Arab nation - instituting a regime of apartheid. So the "nakba" was not caused by the actual dispossession, which had also been experienced by tens of millions of others. The "nakba" is the story of the apartheid, oppression, abuse and denial of rights suffered by the Arab refugees at the hands of the Arab countries. (Maariv)

International Law and Military Operations in Practice - Col. Richard Kemp

"Islamist fighting groups study the international laws of armed conflict carefully and they understand it well. They know that a British or Israeli commander and his men are bound by international law and the rules of engagement that flow from it. They then do their utmost to exploit what they view as one of their enemy's main weaknesses. Their very modus operandi is built on the correct assumption that Western armies will normally abide by the rules, while these insurgents employ a deliberate policy of operating consistently outside international law. "

Lost Historical Moments

What Rabin’s last Knesset speech really said:repudiation of a Palestinian state

Rabin ruled out a fully sovereign Palestinian state :

“We view the permanent solution in the framework of State of Israel which will include most of the area of the Land of Israel as it was under the rule of the British Mandate, and alongside it a Palestinian entity which will be a home to most of the Palestinian residents living in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. We would like this to be an entity which is less than a state, and which will independently run the lives of the Palestinians under its authority.”

Rabin ruled out a total withdrawal from Judea and Samaria and thus a return to the pre-June 1967 borders :

“The borders of the State of Israel, during the permanent solution, will be beyond the lines which existed before the Six Day War. We will not return to the 4 June 1967 lines.”

Rabin ruled out withdrawing form the Jordan Valley:

“The security border of the State of Israel will be located in the Jordan Valley, in the broadest meaning of that term.”

Rabin ruled out uprooting settlement blocs, like the Gush Katif bloc in Gaza (which was subsequently uprooted by former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon):

“The establishment of blocs of settlements in Judea and Samaria, like the one in Gush Katif.

AND

Rabin ruled out removing any settlement before coming to a full peace agreement with the Palestinians:

“I want to remind you: we committed ourselves, that is, we came to an agreement, and committed ourselves before the Knesset, not to uproot a single settlement in the framework of the interim agreement, and not to hinder building for natural growth.”

Rabin insisted on Israel retaining full security control of the borders with Egypt and Jordan, contrary to Israel’s relinquishment of the Philadelphia Corridor on the border with Egypt:

“The responsibility for external security along the borders with Egypt and Jordan, as well as control over the airspace above all of the territories and Gaza Strip maritime zone, remains in our hands.”

Correcting Oslo Myths-Part 2

3) Kuttab laments that the post-1993 Oslo process resulted in a Palestinian Authority "whose ministers and legislators are not guaranteed passage between Gaza and the West Bank ...."

Before free passage or other perquisites, PA leaders were obligated, among other things, to eliminate the terrorist infrastructure in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, end anti-Israeli, antisemitic incitement in schools, mosques, and communications media, and resolve all outstanding issues through peaceful negotiations. They met none of these commitments, sometimes bolstering terrorism and greatly increasing incitement.

4) Kuttab complains that under Oslo the PA got "lightly armed police ---- but no real sovereignty over the land or contiguity between our communities in Gaza and the West Bank."

Oslo agreements repeatedly were revised, regardless of Palestinian non-compliance, until the authorized number of police grew from 8,000 to 40,000. Though they were to be the only armed forces in the territories, Israeli estimates early in the second intifada put the number of gunmen - police, "security services," terrorists, and armed gangs - at 85,000. Their armament reportedly included not only heavy machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades, but also anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles.

Sovereignty was to be negotiated in the envisioned 1998 "final status" talks - after a five-year period of confidence-building. Palestinian leadership chronically undermined the process. Palestinian terrorism made the 1993 - 1998 Oslo period more deadly for Israelis than the 15 years preceding it.

The United States doesn't have contiguity between the lower 48 states and Alaska and Hawaii; territorial contiguity between the West Bank and Gaza Strip - that is, through the 20 miles of Israeli territory between them - was never promised and would destroy Israeli contiguity.

5) "Palestinians have been made to endure hundreds of checkpoints in the West Bank, an eight-foot wall deep in our territories, and tight Israeli control over borders."

The security barrier is not "deep in Palestinian territories," but rather encompasses less than 8 percent of Judea and Samaria, and is mostly a fence, rarely a wall; the land in question is not "our [Palestinian] territories" but disputed territory to which, according to the authors of U.N. Security Council Resolution 242, Jews as well as Arabs have claims; and there are no international borders, only the 1949 armistice lines with Jordan. Under 242, borders remain to be negotiated. As for checkpoints - like the security barrier and "tight Israeli control" - Palestinian Arabs precipitated these measures themselves. No terrorism and there would be no fence or tight Israeli control and few checkpoints - like before the first intifada.

Correcting Some Oslo Myths

1) In Oslo "Israeli, Palestinian and other world leaders promised that ... Palestinian sovereignty would be solidified."

No, they didn't. The 1993 Declaration of Principles and subsequent Oslo agreements outlined a process by which final status negotiations about the West Bank and Gaza Strip would be reached. The process required an end to anti-Israel terrorism and incitement and a commitment to peaceful negotiations. The PA, Fatah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and other terrorist groups, sabotaged the process from the start.

2) "The reality is that, in defiance of U.N. Security Council Resolution 242, which states that it is inadmissible to occupy land by force, Palestinian territories are still under foreign military occupation."
Wrong again. Resolution 242 (1967) does note "the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war." It also affirms the right of every state in the area "to live in peace with secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force." There were no "Palestinian territories." Jordan occupied the West Bank, Egypt controlled Gaza. Israel did not have "secure and recognized boundaries," so retention of some of those territories was possible under 242. Israel is not a "foreign" military occupier in the West Bank but, pending final negotiations, the lawful military administrator as a result of a successful war of self-defense.
