BY HELEN FREEDMAN, AFSI—
We have been watching the war of deligitimization of Israel being waged throughout the world – even in Israel itself – where words have come into the vocabulary that have taken on entirely new meanings. Israel is seen as the “occupier”, guilty of “apartheid”, deserving of boycotts, divestments, sanctions, allowing its “settlers” to build on “ancient Palestinian lands,” and creating “obstacles to peace.” The whole program is one of preposterous proportions. It is Zionism and the very existence of Israel that is unacceptable to the Arabs. It is time Israel’s leaders, its media, its courts, and its self-destructive delusional left-wingers face the truth and end the deceptions.
Now the war has gone beyond words and print and has once again reverted to violence. On March 20, Israel was bombarded with fifty grad rockets, sent by Iran’s proxy army, Hamas, from Gaza. The barrage reached as far as Beersheva and Ashkelon, where citizens were treated for shock.
Today, March 23, 2011, the nightmare of bombs going off in Jerusalem has once again become a reality. The numbers of wounded keep climbing – up to 50 at this writing, with one death and others listed as critical. Israel’s so-called “peace partners” – the Arabs with whom Israel is to live peacefully side by side in a blissful “two-state solution” have once again bared their true intentions. The goal that Arafat enunciated in 1996, to annihilate Israel and create a united “Palestine” under total Muslim Arab domination, has never been changed. The PA and Hamas charters calling for Israel’s destruction have never been altered, despite many promises to many American administrations.
Israel has tried appeasement, conciliation, denunciation, attacks on its own people, all to please the world, and none of it has been enough. No amount of debasement has been sufficient for world leaders.
What should Israel’s response be to this warfare – coming from all sides, in all forms? There is only one answer – and it was provided by Rabbi Meir Kahane shortly before he was murdered . – He declared:
“If the only way to survive is to take the lives of people who attack us, we have no choice…There is nothing ethical about dying nor anything moral about another Holocaust. There is nothing immoral about winning and nothing necessarily noble in a loser. The greatness of Judaism is its spirit, but no spirit can survive without a living body…
Faith in the G-d of Israel and a powerful Jewish army are the only guarantors of Jewish survival. LET US NOT FEAR THE WORLD. FAR BETTER A JEWISH STATE THAT SURVIVES AND IS HATED BY THE WORLD THAN AN AUSCHWITZ THAT BRINGS US LOVE AND SYMPATHY. ”
We in America must do what is possible to inspire courage and faith in Israel’s leaders and to express our outrage against President Barack Obama for continuing to twist the arms of Israel’s leaders in his pro-Muslim pursuit of the impossible “peace.”
