First, as JJAC stated in its report: ‘’…the Draft Law requires internment and confiscation of property of ‘’active Zionists.’’ What follows is that ‘’Zionism’’ then became a criminal offence throughout the region- in some cases even punishable by death…’’. Arabs who are under the jurisdiction of the Palestinian Authority have been imprisoned and frequently put to death for aiding Israel in capturing wanted terrorists. They were charged for being ‘’active Zionists’’. Most recently, in April 2008, Emad Saad, a 25-year-old man, was charged and sentenced to death by a Palestinian Authority court. Saad had committed the ‘’crime’’ of aiding Israeli authorities in capturing four terrorists (IsraelNN.com).
Secondly, the Draft Law caused forced displacement- the ‘Roadmap to a Palestinian state’, as Pres. Bush calls it, has already caused the forced displacement of 10,000 Jewish residents of Gaza and Northern Samaria in 2005. The Jewish residents were forced out of their homes simply for being Jewish. They lost their incomes, including very successful businesses and farms for being Jewish. In the largest phase of the ‘Roadmap’, the entire Jewish population of Judea-Samaria will also be forcibly displaced from the region and will also lose their homes, incomes, including businesses and farms, simply for being Jewish. The Jewish population in Judea-Samaria is currently over half-a-million. This means that over half-a-million people-Jews, will have their lives completely destroyed.
Thirdly, the Draft Law calls for the Jewish bank accounts to be frozen; the Jews who were forcibly displaced from Gaza and Northern Samaria are now bankrupt because their livelihood was taken away from them, which will also happen to the Jews who will be forcibly displaced from Judea-Samaria.
Fourthly, the Draft Law requires Jewish citizens to by ‘’loyal’’ or prove to be anti-Zionist, in opposition to Zionism. Article 7 of the PLO Charter of 1964, states: ‘’Jews of Palestinian origin are considered Palestinians if they are willing to live peacefully and loyally [emphasis added] in Palestine.’’ This article is to say that if and when a ‘Palestinian state would be established over Israel, Jews could only continue living there if they were ‘loyal’ to the PLO or anti-Zionist, in active opposition to Zionism.
The Draft Law is being implemented now in Israel before the eyes of the whole world. The U.N., European Union, Russia, and the U.S. [Quartet group], are not only standing by idly, they are endorsing the Draft Law into Israel via the ‘‘Roadmap to a Palestinian state’’. The UN’s excuse when the World Jewish Congress brought the Draft Law to their attention in 1948, was that it was ‘’not competent’’ to judge and therefore allowed the mass human rights violations, including the mass forcible displacement of 1,000,000 Jews. The Quartet’s excuse [including the UN] this time around for endorsing the Draft Law into Israel, [via the ‘Roadmap to a Palestinian state’] is that the PLO/PA leader Mahmoud Abbas will magically make peace with Israel if given a Palestinian state.
The Quartet is saying that a Palestinian state is to be made up of Gaza and Judea-Samaria. The clear deception here, is that the Palestinian Liberation Organization [whom Mahmoud Abbas was named leader of], has clearly stated in its Charter that it will not settle for anything less than all of Israel. If the Arab League and the Palestinian Arab leadership was only interested in Gaza and Judea-Samaria, then they would have accepted the UN Partition Plan, which would have provided for an Arab state in the borders of the British Mandate for a Jewish National Home in 1947. The Arab League and the Palestinian Arab leadership rejected the Partition Plan in 1947 because they would not tolerate any Jewish sovereignty via the State of Israel, amongst Arab-Muslim states as they reject it now. The Arab League, including the Palestinian Arab leadership, has waited since 1948 to annihilate Jewish sovereignty. This is clear in the resolution of the Refugee Conference held at Hams, Syria in 1957, in the Palestinian National Charter, and in the Palestinian National Council’s Political Program, adopted at the Council’s 12th Session in Cairo in June 1974.
This Political Program is often called the Ten Point Program and is available on the PLO’s Permanent Observer Mission to the UN’s website. The eight point in the Program states: ‘’Once it is established, the Palestinian national authority will strive to achieve a union of the confrontation countries, with the aim of completing the liberation of all Palestinian territory, and as a step along the road to comprehensive Arab unity.’’ This eighth point is probably the most powerful strategic plan of the Council that has been made public.
Since 1974, the Arab League has been planning to set up the Palestinian Authority and it was able to, through the Oslo Accord in 1993. The mainstream thinking on the Oslo Accord is that it was Pres. Clinton’s ‘thoughtful wisdom’ that inspired the idea of a ‘’Palestinian Authority, when in fact, a ‘’Palestinian Authority’’ had been schemed over a 19-year-period by the Palestinian National Council. The Oslo Accord, like the ‘Roadmap’ is viewed as a major compromise and achievement for peace by the PLO when these agreements are only playing into the strategic hands of the Arab League.
The eighth point requires two accomplishments to fulfill its goal of ‘’completing the liberation of all Palestinian territory’’. The first part of the eighth point was to establish a ‘’Palestinian Authority’’, and it was accomplished.
Now established, the Palestinian Authority’s role in the new Palestinian state, ‘’will strive to achieve a union of the confrontation countries…’’. This is the second part of the eighth point that has also been accomplished. ‘Palestine, as mentioned earlier is not a territorial state yet, but it is included as a member of the Arab League, which are mostly if not all, confrontational towards Israel. The Arab League will accept the help from any country outside the League who will help in any way to complete the 60-year-old goal of Pan-Arabism over all and any Jewish sovereignty in the Middle East as stated in Article 22 of the Palestinian National Charter of 1968: ‘’Since the liberation of Palestine will destroy the Zionist…in the Middle East, the Palestinian people look for the support of all the progressive and peaceful forces and urge them all, irrespective of their affiliations and beliefs, to offer the Palestinian people all aid and support in their just struggle for the liberation….’’ Very sadly for Israel, the United States, the European Union, Russia and the U.N [Quartet]., are all willing to aid in the creation of a Palestinian state via the Roadmap, which is a stepping stone in the Arab League’s goal. The Quartet members are very aware of the Arab League’s goal and continue to be in support of it through the ‘Roadmap’.
If the United Nations allowed the Draft Law to be implemented in the Arab League member states before, the UN would allow it again, except this time, the Jewish populace will have no where to take refuge. Before the Jewish populace was able to escape into Israel from the Arab countries, but when the Draft Law is fully implemented from within Israel, they will have no where to escape. The UN certainly won’t intervene on Israel’s behalf as proven by the UN’s response to the Draft Law and the blatant neglect of the Jewish refugees in its many hundreds of resolutions on the Israeli-Palestinian Arab subject.
Being vehemently anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist, the Arab League has been able to direct the UN in the way it wants it to go. For instance, Dr. Charles H. Malik was President of the UN Economic and Social Council at the time of the UN’s review of the Draft Law in 1947-48. Dr. Malik, also being the designated rep. of the Arab States at the UN Council and representative of Lebanon, conveniently swayed the entire UN Council to allow the implementation of the Draft Law. From the time of Dr. Malik’s direction, the UN has been proven to make anti-Semitic decisions during the most dangerous times for the Jewish people as its decisions prove today. Today, the UN, and its Quartet members, are conscientiously endorsing the Roadmap which is based on the ‘’Saudi Peace Initiative’’, an ’’initiative’’ that displaces the blame and responsibility for the Arab refugee problem solely on Israel and calls for a Palestinian state within Israeli borders.
The Saudi Arabian ‘’initiative’’ , when drafted in 2002, was naturally approved by the Arab League, who viewed the ‘’initiative’’ as a step closer to Pan-Arabism. The UN approved this plan, knowing that Saudi Arabia has heavy weight in the Middle East and as one of the initial members of the Arab League, approved the Draft Law directly in early 1948. As equal importance, Saudi Arabia, being a member of the Arab League, took part in founding the PLO, [a terrorist organization] and has been committed to its terrorist attacks against Israel. Most recently, Saudi Arabia has been proven to directly fund PLO’s Fatah ‘’militant’’ branch, the Al Aqsa Martyr’s Brigades as well as Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
Keeping in mind that the Brigades, Hamas and Islamic Jihad, are terrorist are recognized as international terrorist organizations, including by the U.S. govt., Saudi Arabia distributed $545,000 to all three org.’s during the second intifada. The Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs [JCPA] reported on May 6, 2002, that the Israeli authorities discovered detailed documents in Palestinian offices, one of which was titled ‘’Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Committee for Aid to the Al-Quds Intifada’’. The JCPA explained: ‘’This committee was established in the fall of 2000 under the Saudi Minister of the Interior, Prince Nayef bin ‘Abd al-Aziz. Prince Nayef’s organization was also responsible for collecting Saudi contributions during the April 11 telethon for Palestinian ‘’martyrs’’ on Saudi state television.’’ [The telethon JCPA was referring to ‘’raised over $100 million’’ in April 2002]. The document mentioned above contained a detailed table on how the $545,000 would be distributed. JCPA reported that the table the following recipients of the Saudi funds:’’
- According to the document, Abd al-Fatah Muhammad Musalah Rashid, number 15 on the list, died in a ‘’martyrdom act.’’ The individual involved was a member of the pro-Iranian Islamic Jihad who died in a car-bomb attack at Beit Lid on September 9, 2001, for which he was responsible.Eight Israelis were wounded,
- Abd al-Karim Amr Muhammad Abu Na’sa, who appears as number 17 in the Saudi table, is described as having died in a ‘’martyrdom act in Afula.’’ This is a reference to his suicide bombing on behalf of Islamic Jihad and the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades in Afula on November 27, 2001. Forty-six Israelis were wounded.
JCPA reported that the ‘’$545,000 was allocated to 102 families.’’ Of those recepient families, JCPA reported: ‘’Israel has been able to determine that at least eight of the beneficiaries of Saudi aid are the families of suicide bombers.’’ Per JCPA’s report, the Saudi list also included well known terrorists, such as: ‘’…number 68, Mahmud Abu Hanud, was the commander of Hamas for the West Bank [Judea-Samaria]. Number 8, Atef Abiyat, commanded the Al- Aqsa Martyrs Brigades in Bethlehem.’’ Even more incriminating, Saudi documents were found by the Israeli authorities as JCPA reported: ‘’According to additional captured documents, which were Palestinian intelligence reports, the Saudis also transferred direct aid to Palestinian Islamic terrorist groups- both to Hamas and Islamic Jihad.’’
For Saudi Arabia govt. to directly finance Hamas and Islamic Jihad it is as if Saudi Arabia is directly murdering innocent Israelis and therefore proves that Saudi Arabia is still at war with Israel. As evident with Saudi Arabia, the Arab League has been using the PLO and its affiliates to continue the war against Israel from within Israel itself. Fellow member states: Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Iran [being the exception] have also been using PLO affiliates during the second intifada, Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Matthew Levitt reported in The Washington Institute for Near East Policy in February 2005(?), ‘’After the signing of the 1993 Oslo Accords,…Both Hamas and Islamic Jihad joined the Damascus based Alliance of Palestinian Forces ((APF)…By 1995, Hamas joined Islamic Jihad in establishing its operational headquarters in Damascus {its political office was then still in Amman [Jordan]) and, at the behest of Iran and facilitation of Hezbollah [in Lebanon], the two groups coordinated their terrorist activities.’’ From this strategic coordination, it is clearly evident that the parties involved planned their coordination on the basis of the PLO and its affiliates gaining entry into Israel through the Oslo Accord, making it possible to commit terrorist attacks inside Israel. The terrorists were so dependent on the Oslo Accord because it granted them unlimited access inside Israel as they were not allowed inside Israel before the Accord. Levitt continued: ‘’Following…the eruption of the al Aqsa Intifada [second intifada] in September 2000, Iran pressed Hamas and Islamic Jihad to work even closder together. In its 2002 West Banl [Judea-Samaria] raids, Israel seized a Palestinian General Intelligence Services document dated 1 June 2000 that describes a meeting between Iranian ambassador to Syria Sheikh al Islam and Islamic Jihad secretary-general Ramadan Abdullah Shallah, which took place on the eve of Israel’s withdrawal from southern Lebanon. The Iranian ambassador requested ‘’that the PIJ [Islamic Jihad] and Hamas carry out terrorist attacks ‘Inside Palestinian’, without assuming responsibility for them.’’ Again, it is clearly evident that the Arab League member states are carrying out terrorist attacks from within Israel itself and are planning the attacks based on Israel’s vulnerable compromises.
First, Israel became vulnerable by allowing the PLO and its affiliates into Israel by the Oslo Accord and Israel became vulnerable again by withdrawing its defenses from southern Lebanon. Levitt continued: ‘’The following year, in a document dated October 2001, Palestinian Preventive Security chief Jibril Rajoub briefed Yasser Arafat on the activities of Palestinian terrorist groups in Syria, citing intelligence indicating that ‘’intensive meetings are being held in Damascus, in which leaders of the Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front [PFLP] and Hizbullah take part, in an attempt to increase the joint activities ‘inside’, with financial support from Iran’’. Iran’s coaxing- and consequent financial support- proved successful…Internal Palestinian Intelligence documents seized by Israel indicate senior Palestinian security officers ‘’supplied PIJ and Hamas in the Jenin area with most of the weapons in their possession.’’ From these captured documents, it is definite and concrete that not only Hamas and Islamic Jihad get their orders from Iran and Syria, but the Palestinian Authority and the PLO’s Fatah party too. The PLO, the PA, Fatah, Hamas, and Islamic Jihad, are one in the same and are the proxy army for the Arab League and Iran, to continue their war against Israel from inside Israel itself.
Basically, the Arab League’s plan is to destroy Israel from within as they have not been able to from outside Israel. The PLO and its affiliated terrorist groups have been the Arab League’s proxy army from its founding in 1964 in the deceptive form of ‘’refugees’’. [To quickly clarify, the difference between a refugee and a terrorist is that a refugee’s main concern is finding food and shelter as opposed to concerning about where to aim a gun or a bomb at a civilian target].
The Arab League, as evidenced above, has been coordinating the PLO’s terrorist attacks besides its ‘’traditional’’ war tactics. The ‘’traditional’’ war tactic consists of army-to-army combat as seen in the wars of 1948, 1967, and 1973. The Arab League’s ‘’non-traditional-- war tactic consists of army-to-civilian combat. By utilizing its PLO proxy army, the Arab League is able to target Israel’s civilians as well as Israel’s army. In ‘’combating’’ Israeli civilians, the Arab League has not only been coordinating, but financing the PLO’s terrorist attacks as well.
As mentioned earlier, Saudi Arabia sent large sums of money to Fatah’s Al Aqsa Brigades, Hamas and Islamic Jihad, fueling the second intifada, which was based on terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians and military. However, this was not the first time Saudi Arabia has sent large amounts of money to the PLO and its Fatah party. In April 1983, Daniel Pipes, a commentator on the Middle East, published an article, titled, ‘’How Important is the PLO?’’. In that article, Pipes stated: ‘’…published reports indicate that in recent years the organization [PLO] received about $250 million yearly from Saudi Arabia and smaller amounts from other oil states, including $60 million a year from Kuwait. At a summit conference in Baghdad in 1978, the Arab states promised another $100 million annually…When the PLO requested help from the Arab states last summer, the Algerian foreign minister called in the Soviet ambassador in Algiers at four in the morning and gave him a check for $20 million; the weapons reportedly arrived in Beirut [the PLO base] several days later by air.’’ According to this article Saudi Arabia and the Arab League as a whole has give hundreds of millions of dollars, possibly billions to finance the PLO’s terrorist attacks against Israelis. The Arab League members have also given millions to directly pay for the weapons to be used in the terrorist attacks against Israelis as evident from the Algerian foreign minister’s $20 million check.
The Arab League’s intention to destroy Israel is clear and it has never wavered from this intention for sixty years. From the time of the Draft Law, and the PLO’s founding, to the time of the Palestinian National Charter and the 10 Point Political Program, combined with coordinating and financing terrorist attacks while instigating three separate wars against Israel; its clear that the Arab League will not stop until it has completely destroyed Jewish sovereignty in the Middle East.
The United Nations knows this, the Egyptian delegates, Heykal Pasha directly told the Political Committee of the U.N. General Assembly in 1947 that only Jewish sovereignty in the Middle East ‘’might create in those countries [Middle East] anti-Semitism even more difficult to root out than the anti-Semitism which the Allies were trying to eradicate in Germany.’’ The anti-Semitism in Germany caused the massacre of 6,000,000 Jews. Today, there are approximately 6,000,000 Jews in Israel. If the anti-Semitism is more violent than the Nazis of Germany in the Arab states whose armies border Israel and who have a proxy army inside Israel, what will be the outcome? The Jews will be massacred. This outcome is not exaggerated- 6,000,000 Jews were really massacred in Europe only a little over sixty years ago. If you could save the Jews from the Nazi massacre, would you try? The reason for this question is that the majority of the Jewish population during the Nazi era were in denial that a state-sanctioned massacre could happen to them in sophisticated Europe, but the elements were all in place as they are now. In in the II A section of Justice for Jews from Arab Countries’ [JJAC] report on the Jewish refugees from Arab countries, its appropriately titled, ‘’Learning from History’’. The report continues: ‘’The Jewish community has learned through bitter experience to be leery of chargers of conspiracy. The charge of a Jewish conspiracy to control the world is a staple of anti-Semitism. Given the awful experience the Jewish community has had with false conspiracy charges, we levy with reluctance a charge of conspiracy by the League of Arab States against Jews. But the evidence is inescapable. The elements are all in place…There was a plan approved by a committee of the Arab League.’’
‘’The draft law was a prediction of what was to happen to Jews in the region. It became a blueprint…’’, JJAC stated.
As the Arab League is planning on ‘’liberating’’ all of Palestine, the whole Jewish population of Israel is in danger, not only the Jews in Judea-Samaria and Gaza [which are the areas mapped out for a Palestinian state]. ‘’All of Palestine’’, includes: Tel Aviv, Haifa, Jaffa, and Jerusalem. In April 2008, on Lebanese T.V., Abbas Zaki, the Palestinian Authority’s ambassador to Lebanon, stated the PLO/PA’s vision for the near future of Israel: ‘’…the PLO proceeds through phases, without changing its strategy. Let me tell you, when the ideology of Israel collapse, and we take, at least, Jerusalem, the Israeli ideology will collapse in its entirety, and we will begin to progress with our own ideology, Allah willing, and drive them out of all of Palestine.’’ (Translated by MEMRI (Middle East Media Research Institute), reported on INN). PA ambassador Zaki was simply restating the PLO/PA’s continuous strategic plan that continues through the year 2008. Keeping in mind that Zaki restated the plan in the middle of the current ‘’peace talks’’ between the PA and Israel regarding the U.S. Roadmap, Yasser Arafat had also stated on Lebanese T.V. ‘’Since we cannot defeat Israel in war, we do this in stages. We take any and every territory that we can of Palestine, and we establish sovereignty there, and we use it as a springboard to take more. When the time comes, we can get the Arab nations to join us for the final blow against Israel.’’ Arafat said these words, the PLO’s plan, on the very day he signed the Oslo Accord with Israel on September 13, 1993. The springboard then, was areas in Gaza and Judea-Samaria. The springboard now, which PA Pres. Mahmoud Abbas will receive from the Roadmap deal, will include all of Gaza, all of Judea-Samaria and East Jerusalem. The PLO/PA, will then militarily springboard onto Tel Aviv, Haifa, Jaffa and West Jerusalem.
The Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs has mapped out the springboard effect with Katyusha and Kassam rockets. Now keeping in mind that the Kassam range is 6-12Km [4-8 miles] and the Katyusha range is 20-40Km [12-25 miles]: From Beit Hanoum [PA city in Gaza], the Kassam rocket can easily reach Sderot and Ashkelon [two Israeli cities]. The Kassam range to Ashkelon is only 7m/11km. From the southern tip of Judea-Samaria [future PA area] to Beer Sheba [Israeli city], the Kassam range is 10m/16km. From the mid-western border of Judea-Samaria [future PA area] to Ben Gurion Airport [Israeli city], the Kassam range is 4m/9km. From Jenin [PA city] to Afula [Israeli city], the Kassam range is 6m/10km.
The Palestinian Authority, who is expected to unite with Hamas and Islamic Jihad, will: springboard from Beit Hanoum onto Sderot and Ashkelon; springboard from Judea-Samaria’s southern tip onto Beer Sheba; springboard from Judea-Samaria’s mid-western section onto the Ben-Gurion Airport area; springboard from Jenin onto Afula, and so on and so on. The State of Israel has visually become a game of Chess, with the Palestinian Authority placing Israeli cities on checkmate. The PA and Hamas have already been working to springboard from Gaza onto Sderot and the western Negev since 2001.
The Sderot Media Center [SMC] has recorded 8,000 rocket launchings from Gaza terrorists upon Sderot and the western Negev as of January 2008, ‘’…causing significant damage to homes and property, injuring close to 1,000 Israeli residents and traumatizing thousands of adults and children.’’(SMC). SMC also recorded: ‘’Of 23 deaths from terrorist rocket and mortar fire since 2001, nine victims were Sderot residents, three of them children.’’ SMC specifically noted that ‘’The Qassam-class short-range missile was developed by the Hamas terrorist organization with the aid of Iran, Hizbullah, and the Palestinian Authority.’’ As well as using Kassams, the Gaza terrorists have been using mortar shells and Katyusha rockets. SMC has recorded: ‘’Since terrorist groups started using rockets in 2001, 3856 mortar shells have struck Israel (as of June 30, 2008).’’ The Gaza terrorists have also been using Grad-type Katyushas, imported from Iran. SMC has recorded: ‘’Three Iranian produced, 122mm Grad rockets struck both industrial and populated areas of Ashkelon in January 2008. In May 2008, a Grad rocket struck a health clinic inside a crowded shopping mall in Ashkelon, seriously injuring four people, including a two-year-old girl.’’ As Hamas only took control of Gaza in June 2007, the Palestinian Authority allowed thousands of rocket attacks upon Israeli cities for six years. The PA has allowed the rocket attacks because its leading Fatah party has been one of the perpetrators launching the rockets at Israeli residents. Israel has been able to determine the specific terrorist group responsible for firing the rockests by the rockets’ colors. For example, SMC has noted that Hamas’ rockets are colored ‘’red and green’’. Islamic Jihad’s rockets are colored ‘’red and yellow’’. Fatah’s Al Aqsa Martyr’s Brigades’ rockets are colored ‘’yellow with Arabic writing’’.
Of Hamas’ rocket attacks, SMC has recorded: ‘’From the time Hamas took control of the Gaza Strip in mid-June 2007, until mid-June 2008, one year later, 1508 rockets and 1799 mortar shells landed inside Israel.’’ Of Islamic Jihad’s rocket attacks, SMC has recorded: ‘’The armed wing of Islamic Jihad, the Al-Quds Brigades, fines rockets at Sderot and the western Negev on a regular basis. The organization produces the Al-Quds Qassam rocket (models 1,2 and 3)…’’ Most importantly, SMC has recorded that the ‘’Al -Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the armed military wing of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah party. Frequently carry out rocket attacks against Israel.’’
It seems as though the PA/PLO’s strategic ‘’springboard’’ plan to jump from Gaza onto Sderot is working. SMC noted that ‘’Sderot was once home to 24,000 people, but today the population has fallen to an estimated 17,000-19,000.’’ The only security the residents of Sderot have is a ‘’15 second’’ warning named the ‘’red alert’’ radar system. The Israeli government installed the ‘’red alert’’ as basically the only protection for its Sderot residents from rocket attack. The only problem to having ‘’15 seconds to run for your life, is that if you’re an elderly person, you really can’t ‘’sprint’’ to a shelter. If you’re disabled or handicapped and cannot even walk, you definitely can’t run to a shelter. If you’re pregnant or a toddler or not able to think logically in a matter of seconds under severe panic and fear to run to the nearest shelter- you’re dead.
Its sad, there’s so much to explore in Israel, from the beaches to the dessert and outside parks. Almost everyday, there are groups of small children who take field trips to these places, accompanied by one or two adult(s). If the ‘’red alert’’ sounded an alarm, how would one or two adults find shelter for a group of small children outside in 15 seconds? It would be impossible. Let’s hope, for the sake of the children, who happen to be outside, that the weather doesn’t become cold or rainy, because if it does, the ‘’red alert’’ won’t sound an alarm that day. The red alert, as SMC states, ‘’cannot detect rockets on cold or rainy days. It [also] cannot detect mortar fire.’’ If you are a mother, a father, a sister, or a brother, you are not only in constant fear for your life, but the lives of your loved ones as well. Understandably, SMC reports that ‘’Approximately 70% of Sderot residents suffer from symptoms of traumatic stress disorder, which includes extreme stress and anxiety. According to a recent NATAL report (Israel Trauma Center for Victims of Terror and War), 28% of the adults and 30% of the children in Sderot have PTSD (Post-traumatic Stress Disorder).’’ PTSD was a disorder that U.S. soldiers developed who served in the Vietnam war, children should not be developing a disorder that soldiers get from years of being on the battlefield.
After seven years of constant rocket attacks upon Sderot, SMC reports that ‘’Only four schools in Sderot are completely fortified against rocket attacks. In the past year, 100 students transferred to schools outside of Sderot.’’ As wells as living in fear for their lives and the lives of their children, the residents of Sderot are also losing their livelihood.
As a result of the constant rocket attacks, SMC reports: ‘’20%-30% of businesses in Sderot and surrounding areas have shut down since the rocket terror began. Sales at stores, in general, have dropped by nearly 50%. [And] During the intense rocket fire of May 2007, 350 small businesses were forced to close down.’’
The residents of Ashkelon will soon be living in the same constant fear for their lives as the residents of Sderot live now. Already, the Gaza terrorists are working to use Gaza and Sderot as springboards to jump onto Ashkelon. Ashkelon, as mentioned earlier, was hit three times by Iranian produced Grad-type Katyusha rockets from Gaza in January 2008 and again in May 2008. Sderot, Ashkelon and the other Israeli cities, are not seen as cities by the Palestinian Authority and its fellow terrorist groups, but bombing sites and future launching grounds. The Israeli news source, ynetnews.com, on Oct. 31, 2007, published an article with video footage of Gaza terrorists firing rockets into Israeli cities from an elementary schoolyard in Beit Hanun. After the Jewish residents of Gush Katif, Gaza were forced to leave during the Disengagement in August 2005, the whole area of Gaza became a launching ground for the terrorists. The terrorists had new ‘’freedom of movement’’ without the IDF presence in Gaza to prevent their rocket launchings.
Gaza, once an area with Jewish residential communities, has now became the launching ground to send rockets onto bombing sites known as Sderot and Ashkelon. Not surprisingly, SMC reported: ‘’As of December 2007, the number of Israelis who live under a real and present missile threat increased to 250,000, according to Internal Security Minister, Avi Dichter. Heavily populated cities like Ashkelon, Netivot, Ofakim and the inland city of Kiryat Gat are all within range of the Grad and Katyusha rockets.’’ To put it blatantly, the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs plainly states: ‘’Palestinian acquisition of Katyusha rockets would threaten Israel’s entire population.’’ Again, ‘’Palestinian acquisition of Katyusha rockets would threaten Israel’s entire population.’’ ‘’Entire population’’, meaning Tel Aviv, Ashkelon, Tiberias, Haifa, Jerusalem, Safed, Eilat and every city, town, and community where Israelis live. It is also worth noting , that the Ministry did not specify a particular terrorist group, such as Hamas, but chose to give a broader term, ‘’Palestinian’’ as acquiring the Katyushas. The broad term can then include the Palestinian Authority as acquiring Katyusha rockets to use against the entire population of Israel. It would be ease for the PA to bomb the population of Tel Aviv, once it has full control over Judea-Samaria. Tel Aviv is only 11 miles or 18km from the western section of Judea-Samaria.
Even easier for the PA to bomb an Israeli city, is Netanya. Netanya is only 9 miles or 15km from Tulkarm, a PA city which sits on the inside border of Judea-Samaria and is situated directly across Netanya. After the Palestinian Authority is given total control of Judea-Samaria, Israel’s mid-section will be reduced to 9 miles [between Netanya and Tulkarm], the same length as the city of Detroit in the U.S.. For this reason, the Ministry has named Israel’s future mid-section next to a Palestinian state, a ‘’Narrow Waisteline’’ and considered to be ‘’indefensible borders for Israel. Abba Eban, former Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, states the Ministry, ‘’used to describe these lines as ‘Auschwitz boundaries’, in order to illustrate the dangers inherent in their continued use.’’ The danger is that the easy to assemble and launch Kassam #4 can bomb Netanya and Tel Aviv as it has a range of 15-17km (10.5 miles) (SMC), from the PA territory in Judea-Samaria.
There would be no where for the Israeli coastal residents to run except for the sea. Once the rockets start landing, the IDF won’t be able to stop them as the IDF has proven with Sderot. SMC describes how it is possible for the terrorist groups, which the PA is as declared by the Israeli Cabinet, can launch Kassams all day-everyday with ‘’freedom of movement’’.
Unlike suicide bombing attacks within Israel’s borders, Qassam rocket attacks do not require elaborate and time consuming plans; they can be carried out anytime, at practically a moments notice. The IDF has not been able to shut down production of Qassams because they can be manufactured just about anywhere, and it has had difficulty coming up with an effective response plan because, with 97% (according to the IDF) of the rockets [are] launched from populated areas, it can only use limited force.’’ In fact, the PA will gain absolute ‘’freedom of movement’’ to plan and launch every kind of attack upon Israelis after the IDF leaves Judea-Samaria altogether according to the Roadmap plan. The PA role when the IDF leaves, will be to takeover for the IDF and Israeli police. As explained in depth earlier, the Palestinian Authority financed and coordinated terrorist attacks upon Israelis, according to Israeli authorities and documented by Human Rights Watch. Even at present, in the year 2008, the same year that PA Pres. Mahmoud Abbas is expected to sign the Roadmap plan with Israel, to receive control of Judea-Samaria for ‘peace’, the PA still takes part and allows the financing of terror attacks against Israelis.
First, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the ‘’militant wing’’ of PA Pres. Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah party, carried out a suicide bombing in the southern Israeli city of Dimona in February 2008, reported SMC.
Second, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported on February 12, 2008, that the IDF discovered a terrorist financing network. The network involves money changers in Arab countries who transfer funds to money changers in Judea-Samaria and Gaza, who then transfer the funds to terrorist groups in ‘’Jenin, Nablus, Tulkarm, Hebron and Ramallah’’. These are cities under the control of the PA, and remember, Tulkarm is only a 9-mile launch away from the Israeli city of Netanya. The Ministry reported that the IDF, ISA, Civil Administration and Israeli police, searched the property of 14 Palestinian [Arab] money changers and arrested five. From these money changers, the IDF confiscated NIS 3 million and gun parts that would be used to finance terrorism against innocent Israelis. The Ministry stated that: ‘’These finances ‘’fuel the wheels of terrorism’’…[and] It is important to emphasize that there is no supervision of money changers by the Palestinian Authority, which means that the money changers can take part in terrorist activity without restrictions or fear of sanctions.’’ This instance again serves to prove the fact that the Palestinian Authority refuses to cooperate with Israel regarding serious security matters and cannot be trusted with securing the lives of Israelis.
The PA again revealed that it cannot be trusted with the lives of Israelis by its actions of protecting wanted terrorists from Israeli authorities. In its report, ‘’Human Rights Watch researchers have documented instances in which PA intelligence officials warned Palestinians that they were ‘’wanted’’ by Israeli authorities for armed activates’’. HRW then referenced ‘’…a reputed member of the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades and planner of suicide attacks against civilians…had several times been warned by former colleagues in the General Intelligence Service (GIS) of impending Israeli attempts to capture or assassinate him.’’ HRW then cites captured PA documents by Israel, ‘’…one letter dated May 21, 2001, from the GIS in Tulkarem to the director of the GIS Ramallah Governorate office, refers to an attached list (not made public) of names of 232 people wanted by Israel. At the bottom of the letter is a handwritten annotation, ‘’Please inform the brothers whose names are mentioned above to stay alert and pay attention’’…’’
As well as warning fellow terrorists with direct association to the PA, such as the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the PA intelligence officers also warned Hamas and Islamic Jihad. A memo from the captured PA documents, cites a top security official who also receives money to warn Islamic Jihad. ‘’The report identifies Jamal Sweitat, deputy head of PSS in Jenin, as one of those people, asserts that he is ‘’working for the [Islamic] Jihad from among General Intelligence and Preventive Security personnel,’’ and says that Sweitat, among other things, ‘’often contacts’’ Islamic Jihad activists and ‘’notifies [them] of planned arrests against them and who the wanted persons are.’’ How is the Palestinian Authority expected to stop rocket attacks and arrest terrorists (a keynote point of the Roadmap plan), when the PA is actively assisting terrorists to evade arrest from Israeli authorities. For this reason, and many others, the Israeli Major General (res.) Uzi Dayan, in March 2003, on Israel Radio, said Israel’s security requires military activity ‘’in the entire territory, [I.e., all of Judea and Samaria and Gaza] with freedom of action in the entire activity.’’ To reiterate, Major General (res.) Uzi Dayan is saying that if the IDF is not making arrests of terrorists, not checking for weapons and explosives at checkpoints, not investigating the financial terrorist network, not combating terrorism in general- it will not get done; it will not get done by the Palestinian Authority.
What is the outcome expected to be, if the Palestinian Arab terrorists had complete freedom to murder Israelis? Think about it, if the Palestinian Authority, who will replace the IDF in Judea-Samaria, and who is named ‘’an entity that supports terrorism’’ by the Israeli cabinet, did not combat terrorism. The expected outcome will be that the terrorists will murder Israelis without restriction or fear of punishment. From the Major General’s statement above, it can be interpreted that he agrees with this expected outcome.
If you were an Israeli, specifically an Israeli Jew, would you entrust your life and the lives of your children solely in the hands of the Palestinian Authority with this expected outcome? No, the Israeli government’s answer is no. The Israeli government, although prepped to sign the Roadmap plan, does not trust the lives of its citizens with the Palestinian Authority. This rightful distrust is the reason why the Israeli govt. is building a security fence roughly along the 1967 border of Judea-Samaria, which houses Palestinian Authority cities (as well as Jewish communities) and the remaining portion of Israel. There are PA cities, such as Jenin, Nablus, Tulkarm and Ramallah, which are terrorist strongholds and are situated in Judea-Samaria. The Israeli govt. is attempting to prevent terrorists from these locations from infiltrating the remaining portion of Israel. The downside to the security fence is that the Jewish communities situated inside the fenced area will not be any more secure.
The very foundation for protecting the lives of Israelis is security. One key component of security is prevention. Examples of prevention: The security fence, check points, barriers, restriction on movement and Roadblocks. It is important to remember that these preventive measures are in place in response to terror attacks. In the ‘’Reference to the Btselem Draft Report Regarding Restrictions on Movement’’, dated August 5, 2007, ref # 2879, the State of Israel- Ministry of Justice- The Department for International Agreements and International Litigation, states that ‘’…the State of Israel’s broader security needs, which are legitimate…form the foundation of the restrictions on movement, as it has been imposed in Judea and Samaria.’’ The Reference pointed out that the author of the Btselem report stated ‘’those restrictions remained in force after the need for security had come to an end…’’ The Ministry of Justice’s response to Btselem’s statement was ‘’by its very nature groundless.’’ The terror attacks have not stopped and will not stop. ‘’Since the onset of these terrorist acts (Sep 2000),’’ states the Ministry, ‘’up until mid July 2005, almost one thousand attacks have been carried out within Israel. In Judea and Samaria, 9000 attacks have been carried out.’’ Totaling 10,000 attacks, plus ‘’Thousands of attacks have been carried out in the Gaza Strip. More than one thousand Israelis have lost their lives, approximately 200 of them in the Judea and Samaria area. Many of the injured have become severely handicapped.’’ The Ministry then explained, ‘’Unfortunately, the terrorism threat which took the lives of over a thousand Israeli citizens‘, necessitates in certain cases, that there be a restriction on the freedom of movement within the area. This need derives from the fact that the Palestinian Terrorism operates from within the civil population under its auspices, whilst obstinately and severely violating international law.’’ The Israeli military however, allows the movement flow of Palestinian Arabs who need medical attention.
‘’Placing Road Barriers and Roadblocks’’, the Ministry states: ‘’…the barriers so placed by security forces on the various roads of Judea and Samaria, have a clear security purpose. They constitute an important aspect of the overall effort by security forces to disrupt the activity of Palestinian terrorist organizations. These barriers aim to render the passage of attackers, and the transfer of war materials within the area, more difficult. The barriers assist in preventing the free and uncontrolled movement of terrorists in the region. Furthermore, where terrorists have attempted to execute attacks…the existence of barricades make it much harder for the attackers to subsequently escape…This is evidenced by the fact that in recent years, thousands of terrorists activists have been arrested at various roadblocks and barriers in Judea and Samaria. Some of those arrested were potential suicide bombers, high ranking members of terrorist organizations, collaborators and more. In addition the road blocks have prevented the passage of war materials, including explosives’ belts and various weapons,…In actual fact, one can say with certainty that the operation of road barriers has in recent years, thwarted dozens-perhaps hundreds of sabotage attacks aimed at Israeli targets.
Of ‘’Restriction and Prohibition to Movement on the Road’’, the Ministry of Justice referenced road no. 443, stating: ‘’…this limitation was imposed…as a response to a long list of murderous terrorist events along the road, which have claimed the lives of several Israeli citizens and injured many others who were traveling on the road…the military commander could not consent to the reality of the given security concern, at the beginning of the fighting events when every Israeli who drove along road no. 443- was putting his/her life at risk.’’
Of ‘’The Security Fence and the Seam Zone’’, the Ministry of Justice states: ‘’It is the right and duty of the State of Israel, to protect its citizens, and this applies not only to those living in its sovereign territory, but also to the citizens of the State of Israel living in Judea and Samaria…the fence ‘s erection stemmed from an imperative security need. Its aim- is to protect the lives of Israeli citizens from terrorist attacks.’’ The reference by the Ministry of Justice consisted of a 14 page wordy document, detailing over and over again, why the Israeli govt. set preventive measures in place to reduce the number of Israelis murdered by Palestinian Arab terrorists. But words can’t really describe the vision of broccoli, cheese and bread saturated in blood- still resting in the hands of a mother lying on the floor, taking her last breath; while shrapnel from a terrorists’ bomb sinks further into her chest. The mother wouldn’t have thought that going to the marketplace to buy ingredients for dinner, would have been her last moments before she died.
Mr. Gillerman, the Israeli ambassador to the UN had prepared a wordy statement to present before the UN Security Council, but felt compelled to forego it because perfect grammatically and politically correct words were not enough to save the lives of those who were murdered at the market place that day. That day was Wednesday, October 26, 2005 and this is the heartache that Mr. Gillerman expressed at the Security Council’s 5293rd meeting: ‘’The statement I had prepared for this meeting is before the Council. However, even as we speak, five Israelis lie dead and 33 others, badly wounded, are being rushed to the hospital after terrorists struck again, this time in the market of the city of Hadera in central Israel, in a suicide bombing by a 20-year-old Palestinian [Arab]. I will therefore- with your permission, Mr. President- forsake my statement and not read it out at this time of great grief and stark reality. Indeed, the bloody scene in Hadera, the body parts and the blood-stained streets speaks far louder than any words or statements could. Indeed, anyone who expects Israel to re-embark on the road map must realize that so far, unfortunately, the road in Hadera is the real map- a map of blood, terror and pain. Terror for Israel- …Israel has experienced more than 25,400 terrorist attacks in five years. That exceptionally high number, however, reflects only attacks that have actually been carried out. The number of attempted attacks is exponentially greater. We cannot overlook the attacks that are attempted but which, for some reason, fail…for every terrorist attack carried out, there are nearly five attempted attacks. Just think of it: if we did not manage to thwart them, we would not have not 25,400 but 125,000 terror attacks in five years. There is such a miniscule distance between those that are successful and those that, for a technical reason, fail. Life and death depend on the smallest of fractions: a second, an inch, a glance….We have not yet heard any condemnation [regarding Hadera] from the Palestinian Authority. But even if we do, words are not enough. We expect deeds, not words, and resolute action against terror now. Talking of words, the words of the President of Iran, voiced so loudly only yesterday, as he called for Israel to be wiped off the map, are being implemented in Hadera today with such grim immediacy…We must [fight terrorism] …to save not only lives but also the very foundation of our civilization.’’ Lastly and very specifically, Mr. Gillerman, connects the relationship between Iran’s threat to exterminate the Jewish State by ‘’wiping it off the map’’ and the bombing of the Hadera marketplace by a Palestinian Arab terrorist.
Under the ‘’Kassam and Katyusha Threat’’, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, also connects Iran’s threat with Palestinian Arab rocket attacks: ‘’The threat against Israel emanating from Iran comes in addition to Israel’s vulnerability to short-range artillery rockets.’’ Iran is utilizing the Palestinian Arab terrorists to attack Israel in its overall goal of extermination. This is proven by Hamas’ use of Grad-type Katyusha rockets imported from Iran. Iran, through Palestinian Arab terrorism, has placed itself in Gaza and Judea-Samaria- therefore the threat of extermination has been brought to Israel. If Israel, relinquishes its preventative security measures in Judea-Samaria as it has already done in Gaza, then the unthinkable will happen. A threat will become a reality.
Listen to the Israeli ambassador Mr. Gillerman’s heartbreaking plea to save his fellow Israelis: ‘’the road in Hadera is the real map- a map of blood, terror and pain’’. It could not have been said any better. In reality, the U.S. Roadmap is a map of blood, terror and pain. But it doesn’t have to be this way, Israelis can say: NO to the Roadmap. Americans can say: NO to the Roadmap.
There are four bodies who have come together to press the U.S. Roadmap on Israel and they are: the European Union, Russia, the United States and the United Nations. Together, these four comprise the Quartet. Its easy for these four bodies to demand of Israel to relinquish its security and land because they are all physically situated at a distance from Israel and do not have daily terrorist attacks to prevent. Furthermore, when one looks at the history of these four bodies in regards to their treatment of Jews in peril, a disturbing revelation is revealed which ultimately leads back to the endorsement of the Roadmap.
The European Union- Jewish communities have been forced out of European countries 80 different times in addition to the Holocaust.
Russia- The policy of Russia has been consistently anti-Semitic on several levels, from: blood libels, accusing Jews of murdering non-Jewish children to use their blood in Matza-ball soup; institutionalized pogroms against its Russian-Jewish citizens that were so sever, boatloads of Jews escaped to the far ends of the globe and even; and even more disturbing, Russia has been arming and training Arab terrorists, ranging from Hizbullah to the PLO. For example, ‘’Katyusha’’ is a Russian name, hence: Katyusha rockets. Hizbullah seems to have an unlimited stock of Katyushas and when Hizbullah attacks Israel with Katyushas, its as if Russia is attacking Israel. Russia, being fully aware of Hezbollah’s ‘’targets’’, continues to supply Hizbullah with Katyshas and other weapons of destruction. In addition to arming Hizbullah, the Russian KGB trained the infamous PLO terrorists. In an article, titled, ‘’Who was Yasser Arafat’’, frontpagemag.com, on March 7, 2005, published excerpts from an interview it had done with Ion Pacepa. ‘’Ion Pacepa, acting chief of Romanian foreign intelligence, was the highest-ranking intelligence officer to ever defect from the Soviet Bloc. His group was tasked with training PLO leaders. In a recent interview with FrontPageMag.com, he stated: The PLO was dreamt up by the KGB, which had a penchant for ‘liberation’ organizations. In 1964 the first PLO council, consisting of 422 Palestinian National Charter (which calls for the complete destruction of Israel)- a document that had been drafted in Moscow.’’ Apparently, Russia also created the PLO’s strategy of deception: ‘’In his FrontPage interview, Pacepa describes an exchange Arafat had with late Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu in 1978. Ceausescu had just informed him that Moscow wanted him to pretend that the PLO was willing to renounce terrorism in hopes of becoming a Palestinian state….’’But we are a revolution,’’ Arafat exploded…. ‘’We were born as a revolution and we should remain an unfettered revolution.’’ Arafat expostulated that the Palestinians lacked the tradition, unity and discipline to become a formal state…and he was not willing to put any laws or other obstacles in the way of the Palestinian struggle to eradicate the State of Israel. But Ceausescu prevailed on Arafat: Ceausescu…told [Arafat] that, if he would transform the PLO into a government-in-exile and would pretend to break with terrorism, the West would shower him with money and glory. ‘But you have to keep on pretending, over and over’… in the shadow of your government-in-exile you can keep as many terrorists groups as you want, as long as they are not publicly connected with your name.’’ Providing guns to Hizbullah, giving advice to Arafat on how to cover up terrorist acts with a smile, are only minuet compared to Russia’s direct development of Iran’s nuclear power plant, Busherh. ‘Despite of’ or ‘because of’ Iranian President Ahmadinejad‘s explicit declarations to literally ‘’wipe Israel off the map’’, Russia is more than willing to aid Iran’s nuclear program. Russia even goes so far as to boast of Iran’s global missile capabilities. On Thursday, Feb 5, 2009, INN reported that ‘’the head of Russian Energia space exploration and rocket development corporation, V. A. Lopota, said that Iran’s missiles can now reach any spot on Earth.’’ ‘’Any spot on Earth’’, includes ISRAEL!
The United States- The most daunting of all, is the U.S.. After all, the U.S. is seen as Israel’s ‘’great ally‘’, and a country that houses the largest Jewish population in the world outside of Israel. For these reasons, the Jews in America feel safe. But how can they, when the American govt. refused to bomb the railway lines to Auschwitz? David Wyman, Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Massachusetts, has asked: ‘’How could it be that the governments of the two great Western democracies [U.S. and Britain] knew that a place existed where 2,000 helpless human beings could be killed every 30 minutes, knew that such killings actually did accur over and over again, and yet did not feel driven to search for some way to wipe such a scourge from the earth? Wikipedia (the free encyclopedia), referenced this quote under the subject, ‘’Auschwitz bombing debate’’. As Professor Wyman said, the Allies [American govt.], knew about Auschwitz, as Wikipedia explains: ‘’The Polish Army Captain Witold Pilecki was the only known person to volunteer to be imprisoned at Auschwitz concentration camp. He spent a total of 945 days at Auschwitz before his escape. From October 1940, he sent numerous reports about camp and genocide to Polish resistance Home Army Headquarters in Warsaw through the resistance network he organized in Auschwitz, and beginning with March 1941, Pilecki’s reports were being forwarded via the Polish resistance to the British government in London. These reports were a principal source of intelligence on Auschwitz for the Western Allies…[But, the] Home Army reports on Nazi atrocities at Auschwitz were deemed to be gross exaggerations…On April 7, 1944, two young Jewish inmates, Rudolf Vrba and Alfreid Wetzler, had escaped from the camp with detailed information about the camp’s geography, the gas chambers, and the numbers being killed. The information, later called the Vrba-Wetzler report.’’ From March 1941, the British govt. was well informed about Auschwitz and being America’s strongest Ally during the war, it can be undoubtedly assumed that Britain forwarded the information on Auschwitz to the U.S. govt.. Keeping this in mind, Wikipedia continues: ‘’From March 1944 onwards, the Allies were in control of the skies over Europe, according to David Wyman. He writes that the 15th U.S. Army Air Force, which was based in Italy, had the range and capability to strike Auschwitz from early May 1944. On July 7, shortly after the U.S. War Department refused requests from Jewish leaders to bomb the railway lines leading to the camps, a fleet of 452 15th Air Force bombers flew along and across the five deportation railway lines on their way to bomb oil refineries nearby.’’ The American planes could have easily and conveniently, bombed the railway lines as they flew along them to bomb the ail refineries. If the railway lines were bombed, then it would have been virtually impossible for the Nazis to mass-transport their victims to their deaths. It would have been the simplest solution, but the U.S. govt. refused as ‘’oil refineries’’ were more important to bomb. On August 25, 1944, during one of its trips along the Auschwitz railway lines, an American surveillance plain, even took a clear and detailed picture of Birkenou, including ‘’Crematoria ll and lll and the holes used to throw cyanide into the gas chambers’’. One’s initial reaction to the American govt.’s frighteningly unthinkable refusal to bomb the railway lines might be: denial. But Auschwitz was not bombed, nor it’s gas chambers, nor its railways. In addition to this, the U.S. govt. has been arming, training, and financing PLO/PA terrorists who kill Israeli Jews as explained in depth earlier.
The United Nations- For sixty years, the UN ignored and continues to ignore the plight of the Jewish refugees from Arab countries as if it didn’t happen at all. Yet, most unforgivable and unforgettable, is that the UN- by its inaction, approved of the Draft Law of the Political Committee of the Arab League, causing tremendous suffering to the Jewish population in Arab countries, which led to their forced displacement. The UN, however, has dishonestly and unfairly, blamed Israel for the Arab refugee problem, a fault that ties completely on the Arab League states as explained earlier and in the following quote: Khaled Al-Azm, who was Syria’s Prime Minister after the 1948 war, stated in his 1972 memoirs: ‘’Since 1948 it is we who demanded the return of the refugees…while it is we who made them [Arab refugees] leave…We brought disaster upon…Arab refugees, by inviting them and bringing pressure to bear upon them to leave…We have rendered them dispossessed…We have accustomed them to begging…We have participated in lowering their moral and social level…Then we exploited them in executing crimes of murder, arson and throwing bombs upon…men, women and children- all this in the service of political purposes.’’ (www.gamla.org).
The UN has also placed little attention or accountability on the Palestinian Arab terrorism targeted against Israel. Instead, the world body wrongly displaces almost all accountability onto Israel. For example, when Palestinian Arab civilians are killed in the fire exchange between the terrorists and Israeli soldiers, Israel is always blamed. The world body completely ignores the fact that terrorists attack Israelis from their local elementary schools as in Beit Hanun, Gaza. As the terrorists’ only goal is to murder, they do not feel guilty or remorse for attacking Israelis from within their local civilian population. If the terrorists had an ounce of self-accountability to their Arab people, then they world fight the Israeli soldiers in an open area designated for that purpose and away from the civilian population. But, as a senior IDF officer told ynetnews.com (an Israeli news source): ‘’They don’t think twice about firing Qassam rockets near crowded public areas, even though they’re fully aware that they’re endangering innocent civilians. We’re constantly faced with very difficult and complex dilemmas, how best to defend Israel’s citizens and strike at these terror cells while at the same time avoid civilian casualties on the Palestinian [Arab] side. The terror organizations are well aware of our sensitivity to these issues and they take full advantage of the situation. This is as cynical as their use of the civilian population gets.’’ This IDF officer was speaking of the terrorists who were firing rockets at Israelis from the Gaza elementary school and it is those terrorists who are solely responsible for the civilians killed on both sides, not Israel.
When given a choice between their own interests and Jewish lives, these four bodies have individually chosen their own interests at the cost of Jewish lives. Now with the Roadmap plan, these four bodies that make up the Quartet, have also collectively chosen their interests as a whole at the cost of Jewish lives.
It is fully expected that Tony Blair, former British Prime Minister and current Middle East envoy for the Quartet, has thoroughly reviewed the importance of Israel’s preventative security measures in Judea-Samaria. Given the importance of these security measures, the Quartet, as communicated by Mr. Blair, demands of Israel to remove the measures and ‘’argued [argues] that the checkpoints and other security restrictions are damaging to the status of Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman and Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen).’’, Israelnationalnews reported. In other words, the Quartet’s interests are invested in the Palestinian Authority at the cost of Israeli Jewish lives.
Are Israelis ready to sacrifice themselves for the Quartet and the U.S. Roadmap plan? Are Israelis or Jews around the world or those who care about the holy land, ready to watch Israel be cut up into little peaces with the Roadmap’s butcher knife? Are they ready to see Gaza be joined with Judea/Samaria to create a Palestinian state; literally cutting the Jewish state in half, separating the north from the south? If not, then they need to speak up. Speak up for Israel. Speak up!
