The Israeli
way of negotiating is embedded in a mentality that was brought to Israel from
the European Diaspora. This is the battered wife syndrome method that Israeli governments have used and are still
using. This is Shimon Peres' negotiation, or lack of,
method.
Also
Israelis do not understand the merit of freedom of speech and democracy. At
Haifa University they planned a lecture by
convicted Hezbollah terrorist Mohammed Canaana. The lecture was canceled for
the fear of unrest on campus. (http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/180599#.U3LfWpsU-M8)
It is
about always blaming
the battered wife – the state of Israel
– and since the battered wife, Israel, always
feels guilty, she is always apologizing
and giving up, always leaves the door open for people to
want more of her. What they want is always at an inflated price for bad or
defective merchandise.
The
battered wife has been suffering the beatings for many years, yet she never draws the right
conclusions, she does not draw the line.
The
battered wife, the
State of Israel, believes that
the more she should give up and withdraw
from, the more she will earn
in return. Totally wrong!
Because the reality is that the more the battered wife gives up to the
Arabs the more the hatred and the beating, are like
an emerging fountainhead.
At first, in 1988, those
were youths who threw stones; now the Arabs are throwing rocks, Molotov cocktail
bottles and shooting Fajr missiles that are threatening Tel-Aviv.
The "Thanks"
goes to Shimon Peres, Yitzhak Rabin, Ehud Olmert,
Ehud Barak and
all those who negotiate with the
Arabs as a battered wife.
Israelis
must start reciting to themselves,
day after day, that the state of Israel
is not a battered wife and Israel
is no more a battered nation!
The boundaries of Democracy and Freedom of
Speech
Why do Israelis try so hard
to be holier than the Pope? What is in their gens that make them smart in
science but so backwards in civics? When democracy or freedom of speech is
taken to an extreme and out of context it becomes a state of destruction or
anarchy. Would they allow Hitler, Dr.
Mangle, Mussolini or Osama Bin Laden to speak at Haifa and Tel-Aviv
universities?
Haifa student union
believes "in freedom of speech and that everyone has the right to express
his opinion" even if the one who expresses his/her opinion sold their country
to the enemy or the one who murdered your wife or mother?
(http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/180599)
I
come to the conclusion that Israelis do not know what democracy or freedom of
speech mean and when their boundaries must end.
Israelis must start reciting to themselves, day after day, that the
state of Israel is a free democracy
but freedom does not mean it has no boundaries.
