"A legitimate Palestinian entity FORMS THE MOST IMPORTANT WEAPON THAT ARABS HAVE AGAINST ISRAEL."(See http://www.fateh.net/e_editor/01/311201.htm)
Sept. 16, 2008
Anyone who backs the idea of a Palestinian State is, whether he or she realizes it or not, for the dissolution of the Jewish State. This is clear for all to see and a vote for such a person, be it in Israel or in the United States, is therefore a vote for the dismantling of the young State of Israel. Israel today is surrounded by evil forces intent on her destruction. To the north is the dangerous, well-equipped Hezbollah, supported by a Syria which, apart from its already deadly arsenal, is receiving from Russia's Vladimir Putin increasingly precise and lethal weapons. Behind the threat of Hezbollah and Syria - with its VX Nerve Gas-tipped Scud missiles - lies Iran, no small nation whose leaders brazenly and frequently threaten to wipe Israel off the map with the nuclear weapons it is feverishly pursuing. To the south we see Hamas which is feverishly turning the whole of the Gaza Strip into a gigantic launching ground from which to bombard Israel's towns and villages in that part of the land.
When Israel withdrew from Southern Lebanon, the Hezbollah took over and tuned it in a terrorist controlled state.
When Israel withdrew from Gaza, the Hamas turned it into a terrorist launching pad.
If Israel will withdraw a third time, this time from Judea and Samaria, surely the same will happen.
PLO chief Abu Mazen, who with is currently negotiating with Israel for the Palestinian Arabs, will retire in January 2009. Who knows who will succeed this nearly-powerless old man who is kept politically alive by the Israeli Defense Forces. In this light, a policy that seeks to hand him his so-called Palestinian state (even before the year is ended) seems to be lunacy. For he will have no power whatsoever with which to prevent the Hamas and Islamic Jihad from immediately taking over this Palestinian state (as they seized Gaza) and use it to destroy what will be left of sovereign Israel. The person who is most likely to halt the present phony and fatal plan to erect a Muslim Arab state called Palestine 20 miles from Ben Gurion Airport and Tel Aviv should be the choice of every voter, be it in Israel or in the coming elections in the United States. On top of this, Putin, the Russian dictator, is holding out in sinister cynicism at a dangerous game of chess with the Americans as he threatens to help Iran, Syria and other enemies of Israel to receive ever more dangerous weapons by way of leverage. This is designed to make the U.S. think hard about whether or not to interfere with what is taking place in Georgia, the Ukraine and other former Soviet Union states, so that Putin can without too much interference pursue his own sinister goals. What we need both during the coming elections in Israel as well as in the United States is a leader who will dare to say what nearly every person should be able to know: that a Palestinian Muslim State under the present circumstances will spell the end of the young and vibrant State of Israel. May God indeed prevent this through such leaders.
