Condoleeza Must be Arabic for Something

Condoleeza Rice seems to be spearheading the dramatic and unethical shift in US Middle East policy.

Since the Bush administration has so badly bungled what should have been a simple mission in Iraq, it is now taking major steps to appease the Arab world by handing them Israel on a silver platter.

Looking for "meaningful" concessions to "improve the lives of the palestinian people," Ms. Rice is unconcerned with Israeli security or with the fact that it is the palestinian authority (PA) that is the primary force behind the miserably low standard of palestinian life.

Since the 1960's, the leaders of the PA have embezzled the vast majority of foreign aid that was given to help the "poor palestinians." Most humanitarian aid (food and medical supplies) is routinely stolen and sold on the black market rather than given to the "poor palestinians." While taking all the money and goods for themselves, PA leaders also foment unrest among their people and actively fund, support and encourage terrorism.

From what is said about you, you are too smart to be ignorant of the fact that PA leaders don't want their people to live better lives. You must also know that "moderate factions in the PA" are only moderate in their words while being more covert in their continuing attacks against Israeli civilians.

Condoleeza, if you want to improve the lives of palestinians, get rid of the PA leadership and find some "moderate arabs" (good luck) who want to truly improve the lives of the palestinians to lead them.

At least, stop trying to appease the arabs by pushing Israel to make more concessions to a group that has the destruction of Israel as its primary objective.

Or does "Condoleeza" come from Arabic for "screw the Jews"?

Moderate Fatah Murderers

Two weeks ago, a 29 year old man, father of two children, was murdered by Arab terrorists in Israel on his way home.

He was shot to death as he drove past the Palestinian village of al-Punduk.

The terrorists responsible for the killing were members of the Palestinian Authority (Fatah) Police. This is the group that is generally referred to as the "moderate" palestinian group, in contrast to the "extremist" Hamas group headquartered in Gaza.

The shooting happened on Monday night, the day before the Annapolis summit meeting where members of many Arab countries talked about peace while refusing to shake hands with any of the Israeli diplomats or meet with foreign minister Tzipi Livni.

If it wasn't such a tragedy, you'd think it was all just a bad joke. It is certainly absurd...

The US and Israel provide arms and money to Fatah whose members kill innocent Israelis. Israel releases hundreds of prisoners who've killed innocent civilians to help "prop-up" Abu Mazen (Mahmoud Abbas) and Fatah because they are the "moderates" among palestinian groups. Many of the released terrorists plan and execute new terrorist attacks.

What is the difference between "moderate palestinian groups" like Fatah and an "extremist palestinian groups ", like Hamas?

A moderate palestinian group talks about peace and meets with Jewish leaders while killing innocent Israelis while an extremist palestinian group doesn't talk about peace while killing innocent Israelis.

Pakistan

It is only a matter of time before Musharraf's regime is tumbled by one opposition group or another.

Inevitably, the new power in Pakistan will be anti-American. They will resent American support of Musharraf and if, as is likely, the new leaders are associated with Taliban or Al Qaeda, they will be our active enemies -- armed with nuclear weapons.

In all probability, the new Pakistani leadership will be allied with Iran.

This is the perfectly legible handwriting on the wall.

So, what is America going to do about this?

Will moral relativism and liberal ideology rule the day, as it has for so long in the US? If so, we will "understand the feelings of the Pakistani people and..." subjugate our personal interests to theirs, destroying our security in the process.

Or will a renewed common sense and self-preservation instincts take over? Will we finally admit that people who openly call for our destruction cannot be ignored and can certainly not be allowed to attain nuclear powers? Will we do whatever is necessary to protect our country and its people?

I pray to G-d we will.

Why Release Arab Terrorists?

In August, PM Olmert released 250 terrorists from prison to "strengthen and support Mahmoud Abas" aka Abu Mazen the "palestinian president" and leader of the Fatah terrorist organization. Allegedly, this support is a counter to the growing strength of the Hamas terrorist organization which took over Gaza earlier this year.

Yesterday, one of the released terrorists was arrested in Khalil (south of Shechem) after shooting at IDF forces. He was found with numerous bombs and firearms.

Last week, a number of the released terrorists were arrested while planning a major terrorist attack.

All of these terrorists had previously pledged to cease their terrorist activities -- a precondition of their release from prison. (How can you tell an Arab is lying -- his lips are moving...)

What is Olmert thinking? Why is the US (presumably) encouraging the release of terrorist prisoners? Terrorists aren't converted by a stay in prison! They remain just as they were before their incarceration -- sub-human, murderous vermin who represent a real threat to civilization.

Bush, as incompetent as he seems to be, at least had the common sense to not release prisoners from Guantanamo (he should have just had them all shot in Iraq after interrogating them).

Releasing terrorists to prop up one terrorist organization against another is insanity.

Politically, supporting Fatah makes little sense since it is perceived as "moderate" by the world at large while Hamas is considered a terrorist group by at least some countries. As a result, it has a PR advantage over Hamas.

I'd rather fight an enemy that was recognized as evil by other countries rather than try to convince the world that the "moderate" group is, in fact, a terrorist organization as well.

Maybe Olmert should release Hamas prisoners? Please, don't anyone mention this idea to him.

Democrats Without A Clue

Eighteen US congressmen (all Democrats) visited Israel this week and met with Abu Mazen and Salam Fayyad (the new PA Prime Minister).

In typical fashion, these congressmen were able to assess the current PA leadership and state unequivocally that Yasser Arafat was the problem in Israeli-palestinian relations, but Abu Mazen and Fayyad represent new leadership.

This deep insight came after a brief meeting with these leaders of the Fatah movement whose Al Aqsa Martyr's Brigade is responsible for hundreds of deaths of innocent Israeli civilians.

The group included Muslim congressman Keith Ellison (the first congressman to take the oath of office with his hand on a Koran).

This group, plus a republican delegation that visited Israel a week ago, were both guaranteed by Fayyad that Fatah would not reunite with Hamas.

Why should they? Now, they can try to get a "three state solution" to the Middle East problems.

When will the west wake up and realize that the arabs in Israel have the same goal whatever their political party? They've been promoting the goal since the inception of the state -- the destruction of Israel.

They will regularly lie about their motives, goals and practices. They will kill innocent people while claiming they want "peace." They are laying siege to Israel (and the west) in ways we are too naive to see or too liberal to accept. The reality is there is no negotiating with this group because there is no room for them to compromise on their goal -- regardless of the leadership du jour.

Holland Gets It Right

Dutch Member of Parliament Geert Wilders said in a letter published in the De Volksrant newspaper that, “I have been saying this for years: there is no such thing as a moderate Islam.”

He went on to say that he was “fed up with Islam in the Netherlands," called for an end to Muslim immigration and that Holland should ban the Koran.

So, you're saying to yourself, "Maybe there is still some hope for Europe?"

Don't get too excited.

Apparently it is believed that the Netherlands Public Prosecutor’s Office will take the matter to court.

Why Support Abbas?

Why should Israel, the US and Europe be so quick to send aid to Mahmoud Abbas (aka Abu Mazen)?

The palestinian authority (PA), led by Abbas, was trounced in the most recent elections, losing to Hamas.

The palestinian arabs have spoken. A huge majority supports Hamas.

What do we hope to accomplish by sending money and arms to the PA? Will this shift majority support away from Hamas? Will money and arms make the PA stop using its terrorist Fatah organization to kill innocent civilians (Jewish and Arab)?

More likely, whatever money hasn't already been taken by PA leaders will go to Hamas when it reasserts its control and the arms will help build up the terrorist organizations who call the West Bank and Gaza home.

Abbas is no "moderate palestinian leader."

He's a terrorist, with a long history of supporting and planning terrorism -- hardly moderate.

He wasn't elected by a majority of the palestinian Arabs -- hardly a leader.

This is just another naive attempt by the west to install someone in a leadership position who they think will help them down the road.

When will we learn that this doesn't work. Arab leaders are looking out for themselves, exclusively and their goals are not aligned with ours. It's unrealistic to think we can buy much support from them. We certainly can't buy peace in the Middle East.

This Must Be a Joke

The Washington Post today said that the US and many EU countries are lifting their embargo against the palestinian authority (PA) to help Mahmoud Abbas (aka Abu Mazen, one of the terrorist leaders of the 1970s) to combat the "anti-Israeli militant group Hamas."

Since when has Hamas merited being called something other than terrorists or killers? Since when did the PA become a supporter of Israel?

It is only because Fatah (the PA's terrorist arm, directed by Abu Mazen, which only has its own name for political and PR reasons) is busier killing other palestinians these days than Israelis.

It only shows how small these two groups of sub-human, terrorist scum are that they can't sustain their killing of innocent, Jewish civilians while they simultaneously fight among themselves.

Wake up, world!

Violence and killing is the preferred means of doing anything among these people. It has been the case for a very long time. It is part of their culture -- where life does not have the value or sanctity that it does to Jews or Christians.

And, please don't be surprised when the money and arms sent to the PA show up in the bank accounts of the PA leaders and on the streets of Israel, aimed at innocent women and children.

Hamas Leader Speaking about Israel and US

Listen to what Ismael Haniyah, the prime minister of the palestinian authority (PA) prime minister) has to say about Israel and the US at yideoz.com.

How can the US and Israel listen to this garbage without declaring Hamas an enemy and declaring war against them?

When a foreign power makes a threat, it must be taken somewhat seriously.

If Russia or China made the threats that Hamas has made, I don't think the US would continue sending them money or arms as it does to Hamas via the palestinian authority. And in fact, we would probably declare a state of war!

It is time to remove Hamas from the equation of the Middle East!

Hamas - One Mouth - Two Stories

It's like the old joke, "How can you tell when a Muslim is lying? His lips are moving."

Hamas leader and PA Prime Minister, Ismail Haniyeh is offering Israel another cease-fire. Almost simultaneously, yesterday, he vowed publicly to continue battling until Israel is wiped off the map.

There is no value in any palestinian peace offer as they have demonstrated since the beginning of their fight against Israel. Almost immediately after any "negotiated" peace or cease fire, palestinians begin their attacks -- suicide bombings and rockets aimed at civilians being their favorite forms.

Part of it is probably their rug-merchant mentality and part of it is the fact they do not value life as most of the western world does. Mothers enthusiastically watch and even encourage their children to strap bombs to themselves to kill innocent Israelis. Muslims kill other Muslims as readily as they kill "infidels". Sunnis kill Shiites, Shiites kill Sunnis, one palestinian group kills another and on and on.

When will the world wake up? These people do not share the values of "civilized" peoples and cannot be expected to act like western countries.

It's time to stop listening to their rhetoric and respond to their actions!
