The nation must be told the truth – Palestinian terrorists will continue to attack Israel even as we make ready to leave the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, the massacre perpetrated by Muslim terrorists in London last week was just another reminder of the grave danger democratic societies are currently facing.
The attack in London came as a complete surprise, showing that intelligence and security services are sometimes totally in the dark regarding the plans of terrorist organizations. Just as the massacres perpetrated by Muslims in the US, Madrid and London came as a thunderbolt, something of the kind may also happen in Israel. It must be remembered that the attacks by suicide bombers over the last four years are only a foretaste of what Israel's enemies are planning.
Total surprise is still the secret weapon of the Muslim terrorist organizations, and this was particularly evident in London. After the Muslim massacre in the US, President George W. Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair opened a global war against terrorism, and called for international cooperation. The tremendous intelligence services of the US, Britain, Israel, Germany and France were called on to make an international effort to thwart additional terrorist attacks in other places.
The successful Islamist attack on the British capital thus represented not only a failure of what have long been regarded as the most professional intelligence and security services in the world, MI5 and MI6, but also of all members of the international intelligence community who cooperated with it in total secrecy. No one should therefore be surprised if Palestinian-Muslim terrorists again attack Israel and totally surprise the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency), army intelligence and the Mossad, at a time when politicians in Israel and virtually all the media are joyfully celebrating the uprooting of the settlements in Gush Katif and northern Samaria and calling for continuation of the retreat and the destruction of Jewish settlements.
IN THE winter of 2002, in Mombasa, Kenya, only a miracle saved an Arkia plane and its 250 passengers from a hit by Strella missiles launched by al-Qaida terrorists. The weapons the Palestinians are continuing to smuggle through tunnels to the Gaza Strip supply additional evidence that Israel must prepare for a continuation of the war.
It is ironic that Tony Blair's government made greater efforts than any other to persuade Israel of Hamas's good intentions. This didn't save London; Hamas identifies itself with the declarations of war by al-Qaida against the "Jewish crusaders" and its desire to destroy the Jewish state.
In order to reduce Arab-Muslim criticism of Britain's campaign against terrorism and terrorist regimes in Afghanistan and Iraq, Blair's government has always tried to pay in Israeli coin. Blair's personal envoy, a former MI6 officer, Alistair Crook, visited the heads of Hamas in Gaza and Yasser Arafat in Ramallah. He believed that Israel must accept Hamas as a partner for negotiations.
On Blair's behalf, Crook wandered around the corridors of the GSS, the Ministry of Defense and the IDF to improve the image of this terrorist organization. He even endeavored to have Israeli journalists help brainwash Israeli citizens.
More than any other, the Blair government tried to appease Hamas, at Israel's expense. Israel succeeded in killing, if somewhat belatedly, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin and Abdel Aziz Rantisi, the men behind Hamas terror, evoking criticism from Crook.
It was therefore very sad and worrying when Blair, after announcing his intention to hunt down the Muslim criminals, was reported to have linked the massacre in London with the need to solve the conflict in the Middle East. Blair ought to be aware that the Fascist-Muslim organizations of Osama bin Laden have declared urgent war on Christian "Crusaders" everywhere. They are top priority; the Jewish state comes at the bottom of the list.
All the signs indicate that the attack in London was planned by a satanic mind of bin Laden's ilk: Bin Laden boasted in a video clip to an agent of Saudi Arabian intelligence how he had planned to bring down the Twin Towers, the symbol of American superiority, and had succeeded. Therefore even if the terrorists were local British Muslims, the planning, recruitment and orders came from bin Laden's HQ.
Bin Laden and his close assistants, as well as his junior commanders in Iraq, Afghanistan and Europe, are alive and kicking – and still murdering.
After Yassin, Rantisi and others were killed by Israel, and the father of Palestinian fascism, Yasser Arafat, was buried deep in Ramallah, relative quiet was achieved on the terrorist front. Blair should learn from this instead of trying to approach Israel with a new call for appeasement.
Israel must be ready to prevent additional bitter surprises, not only of the kind seen in London, but also those it has already experienced in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.

The truth is that the one doctrine behind current terrorism is Islam. Take away Islam and you take away the terrorists who believe it gives them a right to kill.
For a nation built upon Christian beliefs it can be hard to acknowledge that a religion is the bedrock of our current enemies actions. Unless this issue is addressed openly, and acted upon, by our elected representatives this war will continue indefinitely.
Very true. That's why this war will never be won unless we treat this like a war and just go in and blow the hell out of the whole region. Forget Pakistan, Syria, Iran and anyone else who gets in the way. That way we'll get them all in one offensive and teach them the true meaning of "terror."
I think that we will be forced to take some kind of stern action for our survival. We must do or die, and stop playing "Political Correctness".
I'm also tired of muslims blaming Bush and Israel for the terrorist attacks as well. They keep saying, "Well if it wasn't for Israel occupying our lands and if it wasn't for Bush making war on muslims then this wouldn't be happening." That is so much garbage! If it wasn't for a religion thinking it's ok to kill someone when they disagree with you or if they profane "Allah or his prophet" then we wouldn't have these problems.
Check it out you islamic idiots "Allah and his prophet are both a couple of demonic pigs!"
Until we take the war on terror as seriously as we took World War 2, and stop all the PC nonsense (if we'd had all this PC nonsense and liberal-appeasement MSM 60-65 years ago, we'd be speaking German and Japanese right now), we will at best be fighting with one hand tied behind our backs. The politicians and the people must take 9/11 and 7/7 as seriously as our parents and grandparents took 12/7/41. Otherwise, we're in deep kimche!
