WHY SHOULD THE ARABS BE ANGRY BECAUSE ISRAEL LEFT LEBANON?
by Emanuel A. Winston, Middle East Analyst & Commentator
The attacks against Israel by the Arabs for Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanon in May seem astonishing, even to such Arab apologists as Shimon Peres and Yossi Beilin. What has been apparent from the beginning - even before Oslo - is starting to penetrate the minds of Israel’s Leftists who are dedicated to re-partition of the Jewish State. The Left Liberal fools joyously rushed to open the city gates to allow in the savages screaming "Peace-Peace-Peace" and, once in, to cut the throats of the gullible Jewish inhabitants. Therefore, now is the time for expressions of rage and frustration by the Jews who have fallen victim to both the Arab terrorists and their own Prime Ministers.
Prime Minister Rabin called those who died in terror attacks by Palestinians "Sacrifices for Peace". Somehow the Left thought that, even if many Jews had to be ‘sacrificed’ like that for their ‘grand experiment’, it would be worth it because with enough killing, the enemy would be finally satiated. But the more Jews the Arabs killed, the more Jews they wanted to kill. No gift of appeasement even slowed their demands or slaked their thirst for vengeance. Granted, those Jews who rose to political decision-making roles in the Israeli government may not have been towering intellects but, as graveyards filled, even the most dense pacifists should have recognized the futility of weakening their own country. The ugly scramble for political power was left to the mediocre, the deficient and those who could not succeed as academics or businessmen. The mentally inept, party hacks and military castoffs (except for a few) rose to political power. (Enter Ehud Barak, who was purchased fair and square by Bill Clinton and his political manipulator, James Carville.)
Those few who cannot balance a checkbook or successfully develop and run a corporation have become Israel’s rulers. We must listen to these mental dimwits discuss the future of the nations. They are asked "What is your vision for today?" Better to ask your canary or consult Quiji Board because these adults with children’s minds do not know and cannot solve problems. They have sudden flashes called ‘illusions’ or ‘ideas’ and are convinced they have evolved a well-conceived ‘idea’ simply because it crossed the vacuum of their mind. These ‘ideas’ do not need to meet the test of reality but they can send the nation scurrying to accomplish something abysmally stupid, unpredictable and often suicidal.
The Rabins, Pereses, Beilins and their ilk had the delusion that they could change the cultural, religious, and other hysterical Arab responses to the Jews merely by agreeing with them. Give the Arabs what they want and the Arabs will soon tire of pursuing Jews with the idea that killing Jews will bring the killers a warrior’s heaven. These shallow-minded Jewish politicians had ideas which met no test of reality and never understood what drove the hostility of their Arab neighbors. Most assuredly, they did not understand the irrepressible goals of Islam and the unalterably hostile, irreversible commands of the radical Koranic mandate. Since the Leftist Jews seem to hold their own religion in trivial regard, they assumed Muslims felt as they did. But, at every occasion the Muslims shout "Itbach al Yehud (Kill the Jews)" and "In Blood and Fire, we will redeem you, O Jerusalem!" This is the Arab "Mein Kampf" in which Hitler declared his intentions but the Jews ignored his public manifesto until they were all dead.
The Radical Left was voted into power and practiced their amateur ‘peace’ plans to their hearts’ delight. They seemed not to mind that Jews were being killed in the hundreds as they surrendered vital defensive high ground, critical water resources, irreplaceable holy sites. Pride of self was simply not part of their marginal and weak Jewish identities. They had no value for the Land and Holy Sites and they despised those who did as religious zealots. They gave and gave and gave but could not fill the pot of the Arabs’ expectations. The Arabs simply brought bigger pots to the negotiations.
So now, their puffed up little Napoleon, Barak, retreats from a Security Zone set up in Lebanon originally to keep terrorists out of Israel. The Arabs refused the gift although they have been screaming for Israel to abandon their ‘occupation’ of the Lebanese Security Zone. Now, to the astonishment of Barak, Peres, Beilin and their gaggle of empty minded Leftists, the Arabs are threatening even greater terrorism now that Israel has abandoned their Security Zone. (This includes the unforgivable betrayal of their Lebanese allies of 20 years - most of whom have been arrested already.)
Why were these Leftists so-called leaders so astonished since they brought most of Arafat’s hostile Palestinians right up to all of Israel’s truncated borders? These erstwhile politicians can’t believe Israel’s nearby population will now be the subject of frequent cross-border terrorist attacks across the whole Northern frontier and soon that of the East as Barak prepares to surrender Judea, Samaria, Gaza and key sections of Jerusalem in the same panic as he ran from Lebanon.
Israel’s safety and survival will, no doubt, be left up to those settlers who make up a majority of Israel’s fighting officers who still believe in the Israeli leadership call: "Kadima! Follow me!" To win against the inevitable assault by the Arab nations who perceive a compromising Israel as a weak Israel. I cannot help but feel that leaders of the Left will be the first to seek permanent residency in any country that will allow them in when the casualties mount.
Will Ehud Barak send his politicized Left-wing dovish officers out in front of their soldiers to lead the charge? I don’t think so. If they are there, they will probably be in the back of their men, leading them into retreat - as Barak has done over his first year in office.
Would it be acceptable to put Barak, his Leftist Cabinet along with his Leftist officers up on the front lines as Israel’s first shock troops? Clearly, it would be right thing to do since they initiated the entire failed ‘Peace Process’. They surely expected all the rewards due to their efforts. Clearly, it’s time for Barak’s Leftists to provide the martyrs - or as PM Rabin so aptly said: "Sacrifices for Peace."
One must accept the ‘bitter’ with the ‘better’. It’s time they paid for the gamble they made with the lives of innocent Israelis and for Land, Water and Holy Sites these temporary leaders never owned. They gambled the safety and even the existence of the nation of Israel for their ill-conceived ideas of peace through appeasement of irredentist enemies. Yes, it’s time they paid for the Faustian bargain they made with the devil. The Arabs are angry that Barak retreated from the Security zone and now they pledge unceasing terror as they arm the Palestinians in Lebanon where they were left to fester in refugee camps to stoke up their unremitting hatred.
Surely, Ehud Barak, Yossi Beilin and Yossi Sarid will insist that they move, with their families up to those fresh new borders to have coffee and friendly chats with their Palestinian friends and Hezb’Allah. I am sure the families along the Northern border would be glad to share their underground shelters when the shells start falling. Barak’s no-man’s land can surely accommodate the many Leftists who caused the Jews in the North to start abandoning their homes, moving to the center of the country. I cannot help but wonder what drives the sick pathology of the Left as they are always there in the forefront to act as pall bearers to the nations they destroy from the inside.
By the time you will read this article Barak will have met with the lame duck American President in Lisbon to receive his additional marching orders and promises for the re-partition of Israel. Clinton is sending his team, led by Madame Albright and his gaggle of State Department Jews, Ross, Indyk, etc. To assist and accelerate the disassembly of Israel. I cannot help but wonder where all these meddlers will be when Israel is over-run by a wave of Arabs from within and without.
