The terrorists win

What has the appeasement in Gaza accomplished besides emboldening the terrorists? Even the officials of the Palestinian Authority are attending the jihadists' event after spurning the Israeli ceremony. "Gaza-Based Terrorists to Declare Their Victory in Public Ceremony," from Israel National News, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:

(IsraelNN.com) Leaders and members of Gaza- based terror organizations, including Hamas and the Islamic Jihad, are planning a major victory event in Gaza on Tuesday.

After Palestinian Authority (PA) officials on Monday boycotted the IDF handover ceremony, officials are expected to present themselves at the terrorist sponsored event.

Hamas and Jihad commanders are expected to commend their efforts, crediting the ongoing terrorism for driving Israel out of Gaza, vowing to continue their battle for control over Jerusalem.

During a news interview one Palestinian said it was a great day for Palestine and all Muslims .

I thought Islam had nothing to do with the dispute , now I see Muslims destroying Jewish temples and yet they were the same ones that went
ape over a rumor about US soldiers entering a Mosque with their boots still on.
Maybe the Leftists tree-huggers in the West will wake up and see that the Jihadist want every non-Muslim killed and Israel is just the latest excuse for the Muslim Brotherhood to rid the Earth of infidels as in the Quran.

Now that Gaza is control of Hamas et al, the IDF has an identifiable state target that it can clearly hold responsible for terrorist bombings and murders that have so far been attributed to a few obscure individuals.

The islamists have now been forced out of the shadows of obscurity and thrust into the harsh light of scrutiny. Henceforth, all terrorist acts and murders can be clearly defined as “state sponsored.”

In a practical sense it really doesn’t matter since everyone knows who the terrorists are anyway. In a political sense, the Israelis have dug a grave for the Palestinians who have just leaped in head-first.

Tis the beginning of the end alright; but NOT for Israel. Jerusalem will never be in the hands of Hamas and it will never be the capitol of any Arab nation.

Stay tuned.

Witness: Let's sincerely hope so!

Since so many Israelis seem incapable of properly identifying the enemy that wishes them ill, wishes them to disappear, let us do it for them. It is Islam, it is Muslim Arabs, and those "Palestinian" Islamochristians who for a long time thought they could fit in and buy the approval of the circumambient threatening Muslims, and who in many cases have swallowed whole the Arab Muslim propaganda that causes them, out of ethnic identification, to lose their understanding of what Muslims intend for Christians, as well as for Jews -- intend, in fact, for all Infidels.

The Western world has fooled itself, or allowed itself to be fooled, not least by that irreducible percentage, in any Western population, of antisemites (for of course the most convinced anti-Israel fanatics are nothing but antisemites, however much they have been allowed to pretend otherwise), and by the large number of hirelings in the pay of the Arabs, who have no real convictions at all except that of doing the bidding of the highest bidder -- their Arab paymasters, who can easily afford a few tens or even hundreds of millions spread over, like walking-around money to a Chicago ward politician or the late Adam Clayton Powell, the Western world, to so many ex-diplomats, journalists, academics, intelligence agents, and greedy business men, that it is a miracle some have managed despite this propaganda effort to finally begin to see the light.

The Israeli ruling elite, so insistent on a game of make-believe, on a let's-pretend attitude about Islam and the intended fate long ago -- some 1350 years ago -- prepared for any Infidel state that tried to recover its independence after having been conquered by the forces of Islam -- have served their own country, and themselves, badly. And the behavior of those Israelis, the readiness which they seem prepared to play the willing victim, to allow some Infidels outside to believe that if only Israel is surrendered, thrown to the wolves, the local Muslims will of course simmer down, and become something they have no intention of becoming -- good little loyal citizens of the various Infidel nation-states within which they have negligently been permitted to settle, and where they intend to press, now hotly, now in subdued fashion, every demand, every pressure point, every place where Infidel weakness can be encouraged or detected.

Not everyone in Israel is a fool. As in Western Europe, as in the United States, as in Australia and Canada and India and elsewhere, the number of Infidels beginning to study, not the packages of propaganda mailed out to libraries by CAIR and its ilk. but the canonical texts of Islam, and the real Western scholars of Islam, both those who wrote in the heady inhibited days (roughly, 1880=1960), and those few who managed, because they were largely independent of the system, even later -- such as Bat Ye'or, Ibn Warraq, Peroncel-Hugoz, Johannes Jansen, and a few outstanding others. But the Islamic scholars such as Moshe Sharon and Raphael Israeli have been effectively shunted aside, or never quite heeded, in the making of policy.

After all, the government of Great Britain cannot face up to the problem . Jac Straw cannot possibly allow himself to believe that there may be something about Islam itself that prevents the getting along of Muslims and Infidels -- the teachings of Islam, the attitudes of Islam, the atmospherics of Islam, the entire belief-system and "civilization" of Islam, will prevent peace except ultimately on Muslim terms from ever coming to pass between Muslims and all Infidels, whether Christians or Jews or Hindus or Sikhs or Zoroastrians or Confucians, or atheists and agnostics of all degrees of certainty or doubt.

When Jack Straw says that they simply must get along bcause the alternative is "too terrible to contemplate" he is allowing his mental processes to be determined by his emotions. He cannot bear to think, cannot bear to conceive, that a problem is not solvable, as long as the Infidel side shows continued good will (what "good will" can then conceivably be shown by Muslims? how does one expect them to change what they are taught to believe, what is in those canonical and immutable texts?)? Jack Straw is not alone. His failure to study, to comprehend, and his unwillingness to contemplate reality because it is "too terrible to contemplate" is what explains all appeasement -- from the famous Chamberlain on down. And of course the Israelis, who cannot allow themselves to believe that the campaign against them has no end, can have no end.

Israel could do itself, and the rest of the Infidel world, a favor by recognizing the grim truth, and then, nonetheless, figuring out a thousand clever ways to insure the permanent survival of the country based on recognition of that reality, by encouraging the internal forces of division and demoralization within Islam. It would not be different from the Cold War, when the Americans and their allies split the Eastern European countries off from their Russian masters, and managed to demoralize Soviet Communism from within Russia itself, until it collapsed.

One hopes that Islam will no longer be off-limits for discussion all over the Western world, and that politicians will not be inhibited either by fear, or simple failure of imagination -- a failure to figure out ways to deal with what, at this point, is still an entirely manageable problem.

And outside Israeli, in Iraq, the goal of containing Islam is best promoted by Infidel forces leaving, not by staying. It is hard for those who have staked their all on the policy of spreading "democracy" and confusing "regime change" with containment of the not merely undefeated, but even strengthened, forces of Islam within Iraq (Sunni or Shi'a -- it hardly matters to Infidels, except insofar as now one, and now the other, may here or there be slightly preferable for Infidel interests).

Robert,

I think Sharon's rational is pretty clear: By withdrawing from Gaza, he is ostensibly transfering the onus of responsibility for the Palestinians in the strip from the Israelis to the international community.

How it plays out remains to be seen. It may be every bit the folly you suggest...or it may turn out to be a very shrewd move.

Witness & Cornelius,

I posted something to this very same effect a few weeks ago as the withdrawals were taking place. I believe that Sharon is much smarter than most are giving him credit for. No longer will attacks eminating from Gaza be considered Random acts of terror, but rather agression form a nation state, and then the gloves come off. Of course only history will tell.

Hugh, another fine post, I saw that "too terrible to contemplate" and I understood exactly what Jack Straw thinks. Yes Mr Straw it is that terrible and you had better wake up to it.

I too think that Sharon has a clever strategy, Hama's effectively controls Gaza, now the Israeli's have a easier to defend border, the gloves can come off. It is a soveriegn state, not controlled by Israel and so if missiles are fired from there Israel can retaliate in kind and I hope they do.

I notice that Hama's is having a victory parade, all those hate-filled, masked, goose stepping facists, all lined up just waiting for an accurate strike. If I was in command I would order a strike on them, they have already declared that they intend to continue the war, well Sharn should continue it...

Evil Occupiers Move Out, Palestinians in Raptures

9/13/2005

--- Jubilant Palestinians flocked Monday, September 12, in large numbers to enter the liberated Gaza Strip, planting national flags on the rubble of dismantled Jewish settlements and chanting patriotic songs as Israeli troops pulled out of the territory after 38 years of occupation.


“I'm short of words to describe my happiness today,” joyful Mohammad Abu Rizk, told IslamOnline.net, before lying prostrate to thank God.

“Had it not been for the sacrifice of our youths and martyrs, we would have never witnessed this day.”

“We liberated our land at last,” added tearful Nadid Faris as he touched his land usurped by Jewish settlers three years ago. “I will spend the rest of my life and be buried in this land which I inherited from my father.”

In the dismantled settlement of Jani Tal, family reunion scenes were even more emotional and moving after years of separation imposed by Israeli barriers and checkpoints.

“It never crossed my mind to visit my relatives in Al-Mawasi area though it is only hundreds of meters away from my home in Khan Yunis,” Hassan Farwana said amid scenes of hugs and kisses exchanged by relatives.

Israeli troops began their final pullout from the Gaza Strip Monday.

Gaza divisional commander General Avi Kochavi, the last Israeli soldier, exited Gaza at 6:50 am (0350 GMT) through the metal gates on the Kissufim crossing where Israeli military bulldozers dug up mounds of earth to block the entrance.

Only synagogues and public buildings were left standing. Palestinians were angry at Israel's decision to leave the synagogues, torn between wanting to erase emblems of Israel and uncomfortable at being seen destroying places of worship.

Palestinian youths set ablaze several of the houses of worship left behind in 21 settlements evacuated last month under Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's plan to disengage from conflict with the Palestinians.

Congregational Prayers

Palestinian troops joined the festive scene with celebratory gunfire, kissing the liberated sand and dancing in groups.

Resistance fighters also entered the strip, paying tribute to their fellow ones for their sacrifices.

They performed congregational prayer in memory of those who were killed by Israeli occupation troops and others killed after carrying out resistance attacks against Israeli targets.

“It is indeed a historic moment,” a resistance fighter. “The sacrifices of our fellow fighters have finally paid off.”

Umm Mohammad was among other mothers, who came to the Morag settlement where their sons have carried out resistance operations.

“It has always been my dream to visit the place where my son had breathed his last in defense of our land,” she said.

Some Palestinians celebrated the moment by rushing in to Khan Yunis beaches, which were off-limits under the Israeli occupation.

In Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, residents have let out a sigh of relief after the Israeli military pullout, though they still have some fears that Israel’s control over the main Rafah or Erez checkpoint could turn the strip into an open-air prison.

“I’m a born-again Palestinian today,” Mohammad Al-Hashash, 55, said from land used to be home to the Etzmona settlement.

“I still can’t believe my eyes that the Israelis have gone once and for all.”

Hugh makes an important point about the often overlooked "Islamochristian" mentality. For anyone that is a recent visitor to JW or DW, there is an online video interview of Brigitte Gabriel , a Christian from Lebanon who clearly explains this phenomenon.
The interview is long but well worth it.

She will join Robert Spencer at "The Radical-Islamist Threat to World Peace and National Security" symposium.

Last week's Canadian Jewish News featured an editorial cartoon strip by "Dry Bones" that rather brilliantly focuses the implications an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza has for Hosne Mubarak's Egypt as well.

You know, we really could avoid all of these problems and future ones, if the Leftists, Socialists, and other supporters/apologists of Islamic terrorists would just provide a map of the world with clearly marked boundaries of where a jew is allowed to live and where no joooos are allowed.

Just one question....Can a jew live in a sea?

Hamas Celebrates Victory

As we all knew would be the case (well, MOST of us knew), the Gaza Capitulation has not been viewed by the "Palestinians" as the "disengagement of strength" Mr. Sharon pretended it to be. The Gazan jihadis, who for strategic purposes claim to be part of the fictional nation of "Palestine", have been joyously celebrating what they declare to be the first true moslem conquest of the modern Jewish State.

In addition to the wanton burning of synagogues, the Guardian rag sheet is reporting that the primitive moslems have been celebrating with special posters and flags, plus making bold statements about having run the Jews out of town.

Said the Guardian:

The Israeli prime minister, Ariel Sharon, has painted Israel's removal of Jewish settlers and the army's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip after 38 years as a bold move for peace, not a retreat under fire. But many Palestinians believe the deaths of nearly 100 soldiers and 48 settlers over the past five years were the most important factor in the decision.

"The Israelis didn't leave this area because of goodwill," the Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Zahar told the Guardian. "It wasn't a gift from Sharon to the Palestinian people. They left because they suffered too much."

They may be primitive, murderous criminals, but even they can figure out the obvious: Sharon evacuated Gaza in defeat.

The article continues:

It is the only conclusion that makes sense to men such as Diyab Hassan Ouda, who for decades watched the Israelis arrive, never leave. He fled to what was then the Egyptian territory of Gaza in 1948 as a 13-year-old refugee after the Israeli army claimed his village for the new Jewish state. Israeli tanks rolled up to his doorstep again during the 1967 six-day war, beginning the occupation. After the soldiers came the Jewish settlers, claiming land in the name of God and defence.

"The Jews usually come and stay, and advance. Now they are the ones to leave," said Mr Ouda. "This is a victory for resistance. It made them leave. It's the first time the resistance has won. Gaza is the beginning of the road to the liberation of Jerusalem."

Now, let's remember that this is the Guardian, so we must weed out the anti-Israel spin they put in the report, but it is absolutely truthful to say the Expulsion has been a real boon for islamic terrorist methodology.

The report concludes chillingly:

Mr Ouda says that in his youth he supported Arafat and the PLO. "I was for Arafat. I was a nationalist. Now I am Hamas because of what Israel has done during the intifada. Hamas led the fight," he said. "Gaza was a beginning. You know how you hunt foxes? You dig them out of their holes. The fox is gone from Gaza to the West Bank. The resistance will dig him out of his hole there."

I sure hope the next Prime Minister of Israel is listening to this from Mr. Ouda rather than the sickening applause Mr. Sharon gets from the anti-Semites of Europe and the UN.

Israel needs to think seriously about her strategic alliances. Are there any nations who are truly her friends? Arabists, both "paid" and "unpaid" (i.e., clueless) in the U.S. State Department, together with the saudi-kisser in the White House make the U.S. a decidedly unreliable ally. China? India? Are there any true friends? Maybe God Almighty?

The time will come, and probably sooner than later, when decisive action must be taken, amidst all the braying, howling, overt and covert threats from the entire muslim and dhimmi world. If Israel cowers then, she is finished. If she acts resolutely, with strong moral grounding, and out of clear knowledge of the Jew's fate should the savages prevail, she might be alone, but might survive. (In my wildest dreams, she might even shame others into action.)
