Don't Ask Me to Be a Nice Jewish Boy
Arutz Sheva ^ | 6-15-05 | Bernard J. Shapiro

Posted on 06/14/2005 5:24:05 PM PDT by SJackson

I was mad as hell at the Oslo sell-out of Israel - and I am still mad as hell. I will tell you why.

After 2,000 years of statelessness, we Jews finally achieved a rebirth of our independence in our ancient homeland, Israel. After 57 years of struggle, sacrifice, blood and tears, Israel had defensible borders and the most powerful army in the Middle East. So what does Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon do? He follows in the footsteps of former Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin and Shimon Peres, getting advice from Yossi Beilin.

He plans to surrenders Israel's heartland, given in perpetuity to the Jewish people, to its most implacable enemy. He negotiates as if Israel lost all its wars. The present Israeli government is leading its war-weary population not to peace, but to annihilation.

Sharon, Peres and Ehud Olmert would like you to believe that peace, economic prosperity and utopia await the people of Israel once the 'withdrawal' (retreat) from Judea, Samaria and Gaza is implemented. Their first step is the deportation of Jews from Gaza and the Shomron. Then, it will be easy to progress to the total ethnic cleansing of Jews from Judea, and then, from parts of Jerusalem.

Appeasement has never brought peace and it won't now. Here is the more likely scenario:

1. After surrendering its strategic heartland, Israel will begin to be struck by Katyushas and even smaller mortars and missiles (able to reach Tel Aviv and other population centers on Israel's central coastal plain).

2. In every case, the Palestinian Authority leadership will disclaim responsibility and the international community will show no sympathy for Israel's plight. Indeed, Israel will be condemned by the world when it attempts cross-border retaliatory raids.

3. Hundreds of thousands of Arabs will pour into "Palestine" through the border checkpoints. They will create a large, hostile population on Israel's borders; they will rejoice in more terrorism to gain the rest of Israel.

4. Thousands of wells will be drilled on the Judean and Samarian hills by the Arabs, depriving Israel of 30% of its water supply.

5. The intifada (Oslo War), which started in 2000, will start again in earnest to drive the Jews from what is left of Israel. Israelis will continue to be murdered, bombed, shot, knifed and stoned. Their bodies will be mutilated. Jewish blood will be very cheap again, as in the time of the Nazis. In the meantime, the Palestinian military will get arms from the Arab countries and the West, financed by United States, Europe and wealthy Arab countries. The old Arab promise to "drive the Jews into the sea" could be a sad reality.

6. A new intifada will be started among the Israeli Arabs. Why shouldn't they join the new Palestine with their fellow Arabs?

7. Having been so weakened by the above events, Israel agrees to withdraw from "Arab" areas of the 1949 borders.

8. The so-called "demilitarized" Judean-Samarian hills protecting Israel's coastal concentration of population and industry around Tel Aviv, are occupied by Iranian, Jordanian and Syrian troops. It takes 20 minutes to re-militarize this area.

9. Egypt, Syria and Jordan, sensing Israeli blood, join the Arab coalition for an all-out attack.

10. Israel is destroyed - but does get a favorable obituary in the New York Times. The United Nations, however, condemns the deceased Jewish state for polluting the sacred land of Palestine with "filthy Zionist pig blood."

That sounds quite extreme and people keep telling me to tone down my rhetoric. "Don't be so strident", they tell me. It's good advice and maybe I would be more convincing if I didn't show so much passion in my writing. I'll do my best, but aren't you mad, also? Can any Jew who understands history not be anguished by the present course of events? This is a serious issue of life and death for our fellow Jews. And it is a deadly serious issue of survival for Israel. That's why I'm mad as hell. So don't ask me to be a nice Jewish boy.

If the mortar and rocket attacks begin, then push them back to their British appointed homeland in Jordan.

I for one think Israel should say "No More". End the Arab occupation of Judea and Samaria!

"I for one think Israel should say "No More". End the Arab occupation of Judea and Samaria!"

Especially appeasing the Islamic death cults by relinquishing one inch of Israeli sovereignty will only encourage the enemy. 'No more' land giveaway's is correct.

You POS anti semite. Israel is a virtual pinprick in a sea of Islam - a religion of death and destruction. Though not a christian (or a Jew), I believe only devinde providence has protected this nation and not allowed it to be chased into the Sea - as is Islam's wishes. Go back to the ACLU from whence you came. Self loathing Jew?
