Pieces of the “Peace” Process

The New York Times, that bastion of liberal guilt that makes even Jews hate themselves has published yet another scream against Israel. In the famous words of Gomer Pyle, USMC … “Surprise, surprise, surprise!”

This writing though is going to be focused “like a laser beam” on taking this nonsense apart – paragraph by paragraph -- and exposing liberalisms naked bias against Israel with clarity and intellectual honesty so that even those with only the mildest interest in the Middle East will be able to identify it. 

According to the NY Times Editorial requires the following in order for Israel to be considered “A Partner for Peace”

1.       Negotiate with the Palestinian Authority for Peace

a.      Israelhas been negotiating with the Palestinian Authority and Fatah under the auspices of The United States State Department for years. They continued to concede their rightful and sovereign territory even to the detriment of their own people and national security not to mention national interests. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice demanded that Israel buy into the “Two State Solution” and “The Road Map to Peace” even though there was no commitment to peace from the Palestinian Authority or Fatah.    For more information on the history of the “Two State Solution” read the following excellent article by Victor Sharpe In The American Thinker. http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/03/the_two_state_solution_is_87_y.html

b.      In fact, Fatah is as much a militant terrorist organization as Hamas is the only difference is that the Fatah terrorists show up at United Nations meetings in suits and ties; this makes them “acceptable” even though they are just as vehemently committed to the destruction not only of Israel as a country but the Jewish people as a whole as Hamas, Hezbollah, the Muslim Brotherhood, Al Qaeda et al. 

What liberals fail to admit is that Islam is the foundation of this virulent hatred of Israel and the Jews, and they are 100% committed to the annihilation of both; in order for there to be a “partnership for peace” there has to be more than one party at the negotiating table. I would like one person to show me concrete evidence of even one commitment to peace that the Palestinians have kept. You cannot because it simply does not exist. The Palestinians are committed to one thing and one thing only and that is maintaining their global status as victims because it works for them. Liberals love to make the Jews and Israel look bad because it works for them even though there is absolutely no basis in reality for their position.

2.      Freezing further settlement construction and expansion in the West Bank

a.      By this logic the best way to eliminate the squalor the Palestinians choose to live in is to destroy the towns that the Jews are building in their own sovereign territory.   The Palestinians choose to live in their “refugee” camps because then the liberal human rights activists will spotlight the nasty, mean and cruel Israelis. The Palestinians have a country all their own and it is not within the borders of sovereign Israel. The Palestinian people belong to Egypt and Jordan. Neither country wants them, why you may ask? Put very simply it is because by and large the Palestinians are trouble makers, thugs and criminals that threaten the peace and security of those nations. In their mind it is easier and ultimately more beneficial to their cause to prop up a war with Israel than to demand that the Palestinians assimilate into their society and play by the rules of civilization rather than tribal terrorism. 

b.      The Jews have every right to this land and the Palestinians are nothing more than “squatters” on the land. The Jews have obtained all the permits required by not only Israeli but International Law in order to build communities and yet they are vilified. They live in fear that even after obtaining these permits to build that the IDF will be sent in by the liberal Defense Minister Ehud Barak to destroy their homes and communities.

3.      He should lift roadblocks between Palestinian cities and towns that are not needed for security.

a.      Exactly which roadblocks are not needed for security? Each time Israel has lifted roadblocks security checkpoints into Israel terrorist attacks have increased. I am sensitive to how inconvenient it is for the Palestinians who benefit from working in Israel to be held up in long lines, but I would remind all the readers here that it is pretty damn inconvenient to be blown up when you walk into a mall, a restaurant, a hotel, a school or get on a bus too. When the Palestinians call for and succeed in ending their proclivity for terrorism and suicide/homicide bombings then we can talk about lifting roadblocks and eliminating security checkpoints. I assure you the Jews aren’t excited about living in a country that requires them to be scanned every time they want to go into the grocery store. Here in America, we complain about being scanned and having to take off our shoes in the airport, can you even imagine living in a country that has experienced so many terrorist attacks against them that you would have to go through these same security measures to pick up a gallon of milk? Would you stand for such measures unless you were committed to peace? Of course not, you would initiate whatever it takes to curtail the problem.

4.      In East Jerusalem, he should stop the humiliating eviction of Palestinians.

a.      Stop the humiliating eviction of Palestinians? My God, can we please just visit reality for a moment? These Palestinians are building illegally without permits in East Jerusalem. They are squatters! This is no different than if your neighbor foreclosed on their home and a homeless person moved in; why is it humiliating to evict a criminal? Why are we supposed to feel sorry for those who break the law?

5.      In Gaza, he must expand exceptions to the blockade to allow the import of cement and reconstruction materials.

a.      Do you know what the Palestinians in Gaza are building with the building materials and cement allowed to come through? They aren’t rebuilding schools, grocery stores, or even homes; no they are using these materials to rebuild the tunnels used to smuggle weapons used for attacks against Israel in terrorist attacks against civilians. To suggest that Israel allow materials that will be used in their annihilation is not only stupid it is obscene.

6.      He will not get in the way of the militant group Hamas entering a Palestinian unity government with the rival Fatah faction--as long as that government is committed to preventing terrorism and accepts past agreements between Israel and the Palestinians.

a.      The day Hamas, Hezbollah, Fatah, The Muslim Brotherhood, Al Queda et al will commit to prevent terrorism and accept past agreements with Israel and the Palestinians is the day we all sit down and eat a pulled pork sandwich – it isn’t gonna happen folks – these are terrorist organizations to even suggest they would give up and prevent further terrorist attacks is just silly utopian fantasy born of sparking up a dooby in some Chelsea basement coffee shop.

7.      He will recognize that the United States has its own interests in diplomacy with Syria, Iran and the Palestinians — and allow the Obama administration the freedom to pursue them.

a.      The United States has no national interests in diplomacy with states that sponsor and import terrorism. 

b.      The United States certainly has sphere of influence in the Middle East. Politically, however, it has become trendy to attempt to broker a peace agreement there, regardless of how fragile or how it betrayed our one true ally in the region because it would make us look good in front of the UN and the “International Community”. Every administration since Carter has tried to broker a ‘midnight deal’ all of which have been an unmitigated disaster not because of Israel’s failure to play but because the Palestinians have no intention of ever being serious about peace. 

8.      He also will not start a preventive war with Iran.

a.      In the early 80’s Israel destroyed the nuclear reactor built by Saddam Hussein; is there any sane person today who is not eternally grateful for that ‘preemptive’ attack? Of course not; at the time though Israel was vilified. Iran and their insane leader will lie, cheat and steal their way to a nuclear weapon. We know they have no intention of utilizing this technology for infrastructure. The leading international intelligence agencies know that Iran, just like North Korea, is interested only in one thing being the country with the nuclear weapon who can take out Israel and then the United States.  “First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people” is their mantra and even if they choose not to use it themselves they will sell it to the highest bidding terrorist organization. We should be begging Israel to take out Iran, since we don’t have the guts to do it ourselves.

Since when does standing up for your national security, national interests and national sovereignty make you the evil empire? Since when is it smart to allow those committed to your annihilation free reign within your borders? How come, if you are a liberal, the only litmus for being serious about peace is surrendering to your enemy, giving up all national sovereignty and becoming a vassal state to a "culture" that has not only made overtures but has out right said that it would annihilate not only the country but your entire people?

How is it that the only proof of a commitment to peace is national suicide?  When will the other side be held to this same standard?  When all the Palestinians give up EVERYTHING  and KILL THEMSELVES then I will know THEY are serious about peace -- see how ridiculous this sounds when you turn the tables -- the NY Times would NEVER suggest such an asinine thing and yet they have no reservation in suggesting the Netanyahu go before his people and say -- "I am serious about peace with the Arab world; therefore since it is Passover, except this time instead of leaving Egypt, we are going to leave Israel and head south -- when we get to the Reed Sea, instead of asking

G-d to split it so we can cross on dry land we are all just going to drown ourselves because this will show all the liberals in the international community how serious we are about peace." 

This anti-Zionist attitude is used to cover up the naked anti-Semitism within liberalism. That so many American Jews buy into this sort of self-hatred is just disgusting.
