Hatikva

To be continued ...

So ends a few movies.

And so I start my article with it, an article in which I'll share some of my impressions after a visit to the State of Israel.

This is a beautiful country and a beautiful people. Despite the fact that in both Jerusalem and in Tel Aviv I have seen many brave soldiers of the IDF, I can say one thing: these young boys and girls are not the aggressors, as they are represented in the Islamic and leftist press.

These are people that do not hate.

These are people who appreciate life, ours and theirs.

These are people who want to live in security and freedom in the State of Israel.

In the state which is now the only democracy in the region.

Throughout its history, the people of that State have lived in danger of being destroyed and exterminated.

As they do now.

Recently, in North Africa, and throughout the Middle East, much has changed, but there was one constant, the constant of Islam: hatred of Jews and of the Jewish state of Israel.

Iran, Turkey, Syria, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and how many more not listed "so as not to offend" continue to follow the teachings of the Prophet Mohammed, and so hurl accusations at, do not recognize, and threaten to destroy the State of Israel.

And is it possible to identify others who may be among them? In a soft way? They have a different approach, but the same goal of Islamization in the region and the world, and the imposition of Sharia wherever a Muslim has set foot, without any democracy or freedom in the Western understanding.

Did I make a mistake?

And are we fighting this?

Are we fighting it at all?

Do we want to fight it?

Or do we prefer to pay tribute, in both the literal and figurative sense?

To agree to their demands, to be led, not to take drastic measures.

Enough being clever. I will tell you straight out what I think. Maybe then in four years or even more years the Americans will give me a visa. Unless, of course, they continue the policy of the current administration.

Speaking of the politics of the current administration, it is very interested in supporting the Islamization of North Africa, including truly aggressive Islamic regimes -- as if it is protecting Iran.

Several years ago, Turkey was asked and agreed to the bombing of the Syrian nuclear reactor by Israel's air force.

Now this has changed.

Egypt, bordering on Israel, is now led by the Muslim Brotherhood. Iran continues to enrich uranium, and the financial and economic sanctions have no effect on the regime of the Ayatollahs and the military machine of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

In this scenario, there are a few questions. And not just about Israel.

President Obama is loyal to and even supports the Islamic regimes of the "Arab Spring." Thus he is promoting the construction of a green fence around the State of Israel.

2012 is the year of presidential elections in the United States. What if Barack Hussein Obama is reelected? He will continue this policy, and the Islamic world will pressure Israel and try to force the Israeli leaders to conclude an agreement with the Palestinians on the borders existing before 1967?

And even if the United States under the leadership of Obama would destroy Iran's nuclear facilities, it could be a price for the American recognition of the "Arab spring" and agreement to the division of Jerusalem. This is it more like blackmail, but if we do not support it, we will live in fear of nuclear Iran.

I hope this is not true.

We all live in hope. It's human nature.

Hopefully we will not have to choose between the two. Which is better? The next 4 years with President Obama and without a nuclear Iran, but with the results of the "Arab spring" and a severely weakened Israel, or the next four years without President Obama, but with a nuclear Iran.

Barely armed Zionists managed to defeat in 1948 the Egyptian, Jordanian, Syrian, Lebanese and Iraqi armies, plus foreign volunteers from Opensewerabia, Porkistan, Yemen and the arabs known since 1967 as Fakestinians.

If her survival is at stake, Israel will do what has to be done, regardless of what opinion on the subject Buraq Hussein Obama might be told to publicly express by fascists like Dalia Mogahed or Jeremiah Wrong.

Thank you for this beautiful post, Joseph.

I suspect that Obama cannot win reelection at this point, but he may have an "October surprise" planned that could put him over the top.

And he certainly has a plan for a "November surprise" (i.e. election fraud) to win, but with the voter registry cleanup efforts and the poll watching efforts, I don't think this will help him enough in enough different states to win.

There are reports of US military buildup to protect the Straits of Hormuz, but I don't think this administration would carry out an attack on the the nuclear infrastructure. If they did, it could be disastrous for us, with Muslims and their dhimmified accomplices in the US government leaking the battle plans as they have so many other operations in the recent past.

The attempt could end like Carter's failed hostage rescue attempt in the Iranian desert, but on a much larger scale. And for what would be ultimately an analogous reason (lack of strategic and tactical surprise.)

So, I think we will be stuck with a nuclear Iran. This, and many other relics from the previous Obama administration will haunt Romney's term, and possibly lead to him being a failed president.

Israel will fight, and not trust us with any more of their secrets.

But, truly, it is a grim situation for civilized man.

In truth, the Islamic world has been so backward that until recently they were only a threat to each other, not to other nations.

Israel's very existence raised the bar all the way to the top. Now nations like Iran pursue nuclear weapons. They hate. They hate so much that they would even consider using such awful weapons. God help us all if they do...

If you look at Mr Spencer's blogroll on the Jihadwatch homepage, you'll see a few Israeli English-language blogs and/ or websites.

Dry Bones.

Caroline Glick.

Israel Matzav.

All are *excellent*.

I especially recommend Dry Bones: wonderfully drawn cartoons. Some political, some not.

One of his best cartoons, he did up as a T-shirt and as a poster - you could always check whether these are still available.

Here are some others that I have discovered for myself.

A Soldier's Mother.

I especially encourage our jihadwatch ladies to visit, and comment, and give Paula lots of encouragement.

This Ongoing War (run by two Aussie Jews who went to Israel, and had a family, and had their teenage daughter murdered in a 'murder-"martyr" bombing by a local Arab Muslim.

http://thisongoingwar.blogspot.com.au/

Israeliminx (used to be 'LifeinIsrael' by 'Olehgirl' but then she got hacked). She's the original Jewish cat lady...Sometimes she pops in here at jihadwatch, and sometimes she cross-posts Jihadwatch at her blog.

http://israeliminx.wordpress.com/

And israellycool [like the folks at 'Ongoing War' he was reared in Australia before he made aliyah).

http://www.israellycool.com/

And Challah hu Akbar: "Fresh baked middle east nonsense."

http://challahhuakbar.blogspot.com.au/

Anybody else feel like sharing their favourites?
