Israel: Stop Whining And Do Something

Gerald A. Honigman

Instead of constantly setting yourself up for victimization…

Drum roll, please…

Get ready for the latest round of Jew-arm twisting (aka ”negotiations”) and for the newest attempt to force a replay of Munich 1938.

As many of us have warned, in this scenario, Israel becomes the new Czechoslovakia.

In the latter’s case, that nation’s Sudetenland region had a large number of ethnic Germans, so when Hitler put forth his demand to annex it, Czechoslovakia’s alleged friends forced it to cede this important region to the Nazis for what Great Britain’s Neville Chamberlain called “peace for our time” even though it was obvious that Czechoslovakia was but an hors d’oeuvres for what Hitler really had in mind. The world was soon at war anyway after this sacrificial offering.

For a supposedly intelligent people, Jews can be dangerously and pitifully stupid.
Firstly, let’s dismiss what Arabs and the Arabized have to say about any of this. In their eyes, there is no justice besides theirs. Ask any of the scores of millions of non-Arabs in the region who have been their subjugated victims over the past sixteen centuries, continuing to this very day. Most so-called “Arab” states were conquered and forcibly Arabized from assorted non-Arab, native peoples.
The Arab-Israeli conflict has never been about Arabs getting their 22nd state and second, not first, in the original April 25, 1920 Mandate of Palestine. They could have had that additional state decades ago if they just were able to grant that other peoples had rights as well. Arab Jordan was already created from almost 80% of the Mandate in 1922. Rather, the problem has always involved Arabs granting any of the region’s other peoples (black Africans in the Sudan, Kurds, Imazighen/”Berbers,” kilab yahud (“Jew dogs”), Copts, Assyrians, etc.) a mere sliver of the very same rights they so forcefully demand for themselves. The only permissible “roadmaps” are Arab ones in this ruler and ruled line of thinking.
As far as Europe goes, its collective opinion on anything having to do with Jews is also worthless. Dehumanization, demonization, humiliation, ghettoization, degradation, subjugation, inquisition, expulsion, massacre, auto da fe, Holocaust, and so forth are terms too often associated with that lovely millennial experience vis-a-vis Christendom’s alleged deicide people. Despite some wishful thinking, continue to include Russia in this mix as well.

So, besides sub-Saharan Africa and most of the non-Muslim parts of Asia–which are a mixed bag and mostly bystanders still too dependent on Arab or Arabized Iranian oil–that leaves the most important player regarding this whole Arab-Israeli mess…America.

The senator from Illinois, who was quite vocal stating that Israel would be crazy (his exact words) to reject the alleged Saudi Peace Plan (which, among other things, called for a total Israeli withdrawal back to the ’49 armistice lines, not borders, which made the country a mere nine to fifteen miles wide at its waist, where most of its population and infrastructure are located), received 78% of the Jewish vote anyway in 2008.
Despite the predictable nastiness which followed as President Obama next surrounded himself with like-minded anti-Israel foreign policy folks and turned the screws ever tighter on Israelis who did not cave to his wishes, American Jews gave him 70% and oodles of additional cash yet again in 2012. Not having to worry about another election and with a perpetually Arabist State Department supporting him, Obama now virtually has a free hand–with Congress as the only potential countering force.
While it is true that if the President and his like-minded, carefully chosen, fellow anti-Zionist podmates such as Susan Rice, Samantha Power, Chuck Hagel, and John Kerry (the alleged milder of the crew–until Judeans/Jews insist that they, as well as Arabs, also have rights in Judea) force the resurrected Munich scenario too much, that tens of millions of Evangelicals might start beating down the doors of Congress, if I were the Israeli leader, I would not count on this for my nation’s salvation.
While not everything coming out of his mouth were gems of wisdom, David Ben-Gurion, the former Israel leader, made an important point when he stated that it’s not what Gentiles say but what Jews do that really matters in terms of Israel’s survival. And that brings me back to stupid Jews…
Israel must let it be known loudly and clearly before coming to any “negotiations” that, unlike the Czechs prior to World War II, it has absolutely no intentions of virtually slitting its own throat via withdrawing back to the suicidal ’49 Auschwitz/armistice lines. State it, mean it, and refuse to come to Borat’s next “throw the Jew down the well” party.
Furthermore, Israeli leaders (with backbones intact) must declare that they will insist on getting what the final draft of UNSC Resolution 242 promised in the aftermath of the Arabs’ renewed, unsuccessful attempt on Israel’s life in 1967–more secure, defensible, and real political borders.
This requires a real, effective, territorial compromise over the disputed–not “purely Arab”–territories.
Jews are not strangers to places like East Jerusalem, where their Temple Mount is located, Bethlehem, where King David was born, Hebron, and so forth. Can the Brits say the same thing about the Falkland Islands? How about America in places like Samoa, the Russians in Chechnya–or for that matter, the Arab Jihadi invaders of everywhere in the Middle East, North Africa, and beyond that they conquered, settled, and colonized outside of their home base on the Arabian Peninsula?
Arabs repeatedly state that they will never allow for such a compromise.
Furthermore, they insist that after Israel withdraws back to the ’49 lines that it next allow itself to be swamped by millions of allegedly returning refugees. Israel’s next response must thus be to tell their “peace (of the grave) partners” to drop dead and prepare for all out war and finish the job this time–and, again, to hell with the world’s hypocrites who fire bombed Dresden, nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki, etc. and so forth.
Moving on…
Related to this next proposed round of Jew arm-twisting–er negotiations–Secretary of State Kerry’s plan to get Arabs back to the table involves Jews freeing over a hundred more Arab heroes, many with Jewish blood on their hands, and other wannabes. We’ve been down this road far too many times before.
When will the moron Hebrews learn?
If the Arab disembowelers, throat slitters, decapitators, and body bombers were dealt with as they should have been in the first place–shot in the head with one or two cheap bullets when caught in the act or, after a fair trial, soon afterwards–the Jew of the Nations would not have to look like a pathetic idiot time after time, willingly setting itself up for blackmail to Arabs laughing their derrieres off.
How would any Arab and/or Muslim country deal with Jews if the situation were reversed?
To hell with hypocritical world opinion from places where Israel is merely “that shitty little country” or where Israel has to beg to be larger than a virtual zipper of a state while other nations acquire territories hundreds or thousands of miles away from home in the name of their own interests.
When Israel’s leaders arrive in Obama’s Washington, they must be prepared for the worst…this despite the non-stop barbarism occurring all over the so-called Arab world today. But, never mind–the Jews will be expected to expose the necks of their kids to the likes of the latter day Arafatians of Fatah, Islamic Jihad, and Hamas anyway.
Once again, The One revealed his hand while still a senator. Nothing has changed from his perspective. He still has a problem with Jews who won’t prostrate themselves low enough to his demands. His type of Israelis and other Jews are those whose favorite animal is the ostrich.
Netanyahu and his crew must be prepared to take an early flight back to Israel and absorb the consequences if Team Obama does what it most likely will try to do–turn the clock back in Washington 2013 to Munich 1938.
Bibi must next unabashedly take his case before the entire American people.
Israel has many friends in this great country who will indeed raise a powerful outcry to the would-be new Neville Chamberlains.
Obama will not be running for office again–but many other Democrats will.

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.

Who is being discriminated-facts tell the truth

Religious bias

Hate crimes motivated by religious bias accounted for 1,409 offenses reported by law enforcement. A breakdown of the bias motivation of religious-bias offenses showed:

65.4 percent were anti-Jewish.
13.2 percent were anti-Islamic.
9.5 percent were anti-other religion, i.e., those not specified.
4.3 percent were anti-Catholic.
3.8 percent were anti-multiple religions, group.
3.3 percent were anti-Protestant.
0.5 percent were anti-Atheism/Agnosticism/etc.

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.
