DE-POPULATING ISRAEL?

At the risk of boring you with repetition, I will point out that there is a second phase of evacuating the Jewish people off and out of their G-d given Land. Fortunately, the well-known DEBKAfile has picked up the issue. (Please see DEBKAfile's June 12th edition wherein it states): Sderot and its Negev neighbors are in danger of de-population.  I previously used the description of "No-Man's Land" for Northern Israel when then Gen. Ehud Barak created a dangerous zone when he shamefully ran out of the security zone in Southern Lebanon. But, intentional "De-Population" is an even more appropriate turn of phrase. I submit that the long range plan going back before the early 1980s (about which I have written often) was to drive the Jews out of Judea and Samaria. I wrote extensively about the illegal meetings of Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres with the Master Terrorist Yassir Arafat. He planned to 'de-populate' the whole country of her Jews and re-populate it with Arab Muslims. However, the First Phase was to drive the Jews out of YESHA (Yehuda, Shomron and Gaza) using staged events, ending with Arafat's forces creating a "Misery Index" for Jews who refused to leave. There was more to the thinking of the Left than merely driving the Jews out. It was a recognition that the Arab Muslims generally and the Arab Palestinians in particular could not build a nation-state by themselves. They had the implicit recognition that, despite the Billions of dollars poured into the Arab Palestinian economy, nothing of consequence was being built. Sewage still ran down the hillsides from Arab villages was a small indicator. It was the concept of the Left to allow the Jews to build communities, roads, water and sewage systems, factories, farms and then drive those industrious Jews out, leaving all they had built in place in order to absorb the Arabs who could not/would not do it for themselves. I would add that the Americans and Europeans recognized that Muslim Arab societies could not build but could and did make war. I wrote about the direct methods they planned to employ to drive the Jews out, including Arafat's role in making the roads in Judea and Samaria too dangerous to drive upon, hence the term: "Misery Index".  I missed the second phase which I started to write about when Barak did his midnight run out of Lebanon, leaving a vacuum which was quickly filled by Iranian and Syrian backed Hezb'Allah Terrorists. I opined at the time that all of Northern Israel would become the "No-Man's Land" or better said: "De-Populated" by the threat of missiles. At that time I thought Barak's abandonment was merely the stupidity of a Leftist General who was being groomed to be a Leftist Prime Minister later to carry forward the Leftist doctrine. Putting the North of Israel under the missiles of Hezb'Allah was an intentional part of the "De-Population Plan  Phase 2". (Note! None of this dismisses the false reports on Arab demographics growing beyond Jewish birth rates.) (1) This became more clear when Sharon and Olmert, in concert with Shimon Peres drove the Jews out of Gaza. This, of course, included transferring the entire protective force of Israel's military further inland, giving the Terrorists full rein to assemble and fire missiles. Sharon and Olmert were warned repeatedly by the General Staff and Military Intelligence that Gaza would become a Global Terrorist Base and a threat to all Southern Israel as it has. What I wrote about as 6,000 Kassem Rockets cascaded down on Sderot and started to reach Ashkelon and the Southern Kibbutzim was the possibility that Israeli citizens would start to move further inland toward the center of the country. I still missed the point that this was exactly what was supposed to happen. Phase 2 was an intended De-population of the areas North of Gaza.

While I was writing about the probability of the population moving under fire, it wasn't until several months ago I came to the conclusion that this was part of the plan of "De-population". So, in addition to the Sharon and now Olmert proposal to abandon such areas as Judea and Samaria, the Golan Heights and the Jordan Valley - all of which will probably lead to losing the holy parts of Jerusalem, there was the subtle addition of Phase 2.  Although Olmert tried to mislead and calm the escalating opposition to more evacuations in Judea and Samaria by claiming that he would keep blocks of settlements, he already knew that there would be a Phase 2 where the Arab Muslim Palestinian Terrorists could be relied upon to bombard the remaining settlements to drive the last remnant of the settlers out of their homes. Once any of these territories were given over in a quit claim agreement then the Second Phase would expand the land grab under fire. Areas to be De-populated of Jews would be Northern Israel down to Haifa, Southern Israel as far as the improved Hamas Kassem Rockets could reach from their new firing bases in Gaza. Both of these goals have been partially achieved as Israelis start to speak of voluntarily moving inland as the firing gets more intense.  This explains Olmert's slogan of "Convergence" now renamed "Re-alignment". So Stage One is to physically abandon large swaths of Israel. Stage Two is to expand the areas under fire; to "De-Populate" those areas adjacent to the abandoned Land.

Beyond Treason? Absolutely.

"De-population" can mean several things: China, for example wanted Tibet under its control so it started harassing the local people of Tibet and then started funneling in Chinese to further displace the native inhabitants. The Christian missionaries came to the Hawaiian Islands, took the land and soon native Hawaiians were a minority. This got worse as Chinese immigrated into the Hawaiian Islands in large numbers. The population, once in balance with native Hawaiians was soon overwhelmed by the breeding excesses of the Chinese and the greed of the Christian landowners who followed the missionaries in on the chain of conquest. (Read James Michener's "HAWAII" for the details.) Throughout history conquerors have come and captured the Land, both with arms and babies, in effect, breeding out the native populations. Presently, we are observing the Israeli government, driven by Leftist ideologues dispersing of the Jewish G-d given Land by both abandonment and allowing a hostile, dedicated enemy to force "Depopulation" and then through their style of re-population by importing more of their kind. They count on the higher order of population to build a country and raise the level of civilization, then they drive out the productive native populations so they may absorb what others have built.  We are seeing this across Europe, which is now called Eurarabia - particularly in France, England and the Netherlands where the number of Muslims has reached a critical mass. The Muslim concept of gaining control through critical mass is by populating a host country, making the unwary host country pay to support the non-contributing Muslim immigrants. This is the Arab Muslim way "From Time Immemorial". (3) In Israel Leftists under different titles have engaged in attempting to "De-populate" one segment of the native population, namely, the observant Orthodox Jews. This includes the Settlers (knitted kippah) and the Chareidim (or black hats). But, studies show that with the current rates of Jewish assimilation and inter-marriage, only the Orthodox will increase in numbers - not decrease below the "critical mass" needed to maintain their community. Because the Orthodox hold onto their values and do not intermarry, they will sustain their numbers. Those in the world of Intelligence know that to get to the truth, one peels the onion back down to the layer where truth cannot be denied. Since the homeland of the Jews has dedicated enemies but, the worse come from within.

DEMOGRAPHOBIA has succeeded - more than Palestinian terrorism and more than US and global pressure - to afflict Israel's policy-makers with weariness. However, Demographobia has been based on grossly erroneous data, as clearly exposed by the "BESA Perspectives" and by the February 2006 study published by BESA.

ISRAEL'S PRIME MINISTER APOLOGIZES TO EGYPT...WHY? 

Emanuel A. Winston, Middle East Analyst & Commentator

Israel's Prime Minister Ehud Olmert apologizes to Egypt's President Mubarak for the killing of two Egyptian terrorists dressed in Egyptian uniforms. It was reported that Israeli officers were resentful of PM Olmert's craven apology. Surely, "resentful" was an understatement. It should be replaced with "furious". We all remember Chamberlain, Quisling and other betrayers of their nations. We have watched a veritable parade of Jewish leaders plead, genuflect, and wring their hands in front of our enemies in the hope that they would forgive us for being Jews.  I knew we had started on the road to defeat when our great warrior Ariel (Arik) Sharon, invited Egypt back into the demilitarized Sinai Desert to protect Israel's borders. Only they didn't protect the borders but, rather acted as the enablers, to transport tonnage of weapons, explosives and the terrorists to utilize them.  Egypt has always been a dedicated enemy of the Jews. Moses may have taken us out but, it was men like Sharon, Rabin, Peres and Olmert who are bringing us back under Egypt's influence. Hearing the slimy, ingratiating words of Olmert in his apology to Mubarak for killing the attacking terrorists, we can understand the contempt the Arabs have for the Jewish people. Wriggling and rolling around like a puppy, wetting himself in his excitement at meeting with high leaders seems typical of Olmert. Apologizing for an Israeli military squad returning fire in self-defense, killing their attackers in a firefight is about the lowest, disgusting display of sniveling we may have ever seen by someone mistakenly honored to be the top leader of Israel. Olmert has embarrassed the nation and shown his contempt for Israel's military. They were on a high risk patrol where they could be the ones killed instead of the terrorists. Would Mubarak have apologized to Olmert if the Egyptian security squad succeeded in killing the Israelis in that ambush? ....I think not. But Olmert, displaying his own cowardice under fire, burbled not only an apology to Mubarak but, he gushed that "sitting next to Mubarak was a very moving, personal experience". After you read the following, you may wonder why the Israeli Army doesn't simply hold a full court martial and ship Olmert to Elbe, that island where they stored Napoleon. This is the man who is supposed to lead and defend Israel and her people. Stupidity, cowardice, lack of ethics, no sense of honor, an un-Jew...Olmert fits this description to a T.  We can only wait for Olmert's obsequious gestures and apologies to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hamas for Israel's existence. Once you have started apologizing for defending the Jewish State and her valiant troops, you have opened the city gates to invasion.

 WHY BRING BAGHDAD TO JERUSALEM?

Israel's Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, with the not so subtle connivance of President George W. Bush, was not content with the debacle they brought to the Gaza Strip. They now wish to destroy Jerusalem by bringing the chaos of Gaza and Baghdad to Israel's Eternal Capital City. Olmert, playing the role of Machiavelli, urged Sharon to abandon Gaza and Northern Samaria for the self-serving advantages Olmert and Sharon said it would bring.  Here we find the other mirror image of Machiavelli, the Arabist State Department, whispering their pernicious hate-filled advice to the sophomoric boy President to sign on to another Gaza-like blunder in the 'west bank'. It wasn't enough to fail to pacify Iraq as the Iraqi people and the 'Mujahadeen' (a mixture of terrorists for Islam) are killing American soldiers by road-side explosives and suicide bombs - with impunity. Now they wish to bring the same failed pacification to Israel! It wasn't enough to attempt the pacification of Afghanistan which is failing as the Taliban radical Muslims mount resurgent attacks, killing Afghans, U.N. and American soldiers.  It wasn't enough for Ariel Sharon to (at first) successfully fight off the Arab Muslim Terrorists at the furthest reaches of Israel's minuscule land mass but, they had to bring the enemy closer by running out of Gush Katif/Gaza and then from Samaria.  What exactly did each of these men hope to gain by pretending they knew how to appease and pacify the Muslim 'Jihadists' (fighters for Islam)? We know President Bush is desperate to politically offset American losses in Iraq and Afghanistan by creating an illusion of successfully befriending the hostile Palestinians whose votes demonstrate that they prefer Hamas Terrorists as their nation builders. We know that PM Olmert cares almost nothing for the Land of Israel, her Jewish history and the Jews' Right of Return. We know he is has a reputation as a self-serving politician and lawyer, dedicated to his own pockets and the power he squeezes out of his position as Prime Minister. If ever there were two men who were willing to spit in the face of a G-d they either despise or simply don't believe in, it is Bush and Olmert. Even the earliest of Muslim scholars believed the Land was bequeathed to the Jews by G-d but, not Bush and Olmert. Some believe, and with good reason, that the calamities which have cascaded down upon America are the fault of President Bush and his allegiance with his oily Arab Muslim friends - to the detriment of Israel. Those Jews, now called Kadimites in the new Sharon/Olmert Party, have similarly called down upon the nation of Israel Katyusha Missiles and Kassem Rockets with an ever increasing range and accuracy, plus car bombs, drive-by and sniper shootings, suicide/homicide bombing with explosive belts worn by Muslim Arab Palestinians - and more. The Price Israel is going to pay will shock even the most radical Leftists, including the Kadimites. But, Olmert, a small-minded, insignificant man wishes to be known for something bigger than he could ever be, even if it means sacrificing Jews he doesn't really care much for anyway. In brief, two selfish political charlatans are perfectly willing to use an embattled nation IF they can gain advancement for themselves politically or for their historic legacies.  We all know many unethical politicians feed on their own people to gain political or monetary advantages. In this case the banquet will be the Israeli people and, of course, Jerusalem will be the featured entreé.  Is there any doubt that Olmert and Bush will bring the chaos of today's Baghdad to Jerusalem?

They are already preparing their denials of fault and carefully drafting excuses as to why it's best for all if Israel must suffer missiles, rockets and suicide/homicide bombings. As for Bush's pledges to protect Israel, you will note the absence of specificity. Bush needs to improve his poll numbers and Olmert must get whatever financial rewards plus an historical change of reputation from low to high. So, both juggle with the safety of Israel at the top of their voices.

But in the end, both will be ignored by history - except for the endless trail of victims who will be the casualties of their pathetic ideas that failed.   Even Sharon, who had an earned reputation as a great warrior finally succumbed to the lure of being regarded by the world as a 'peacemaker' who sacrificed his own people to grasp that elusive trophy of glory, gifted by the U.N., E.U., U.S. State Department and other notorious practitioners of Jew-hatred. For me, I had prayed before Sharon has his first message to desist, that he would lie in his bed, staring at the ceiling and only be able to hear the news caused by his perfidy against the Jewish people.  As for Olmert and Bush, similarly may no man lift his hand against them but, let them inherit a like judgement for their planning to sell the Jewish people to the Ishmaelites. May they and all other Kadimites who hate the true Jewish people share the emptiness of Sharon's poor judgement. If you don't believe that they hate their own people, then ask: "Why are they deliberately cutting the tiny state of Israel down to an even smaller size that will look vulnerable and attractive for the Muslims to attack?" Why, too, are they so desperate to bring the chaos of Baghdad to Jerusalem? And finally, why would Olmert compress the Jewish people of Israel into the smallest compressed Ghetto he could manage. There is a belief among observant Jews that, should a man experience justifiable, long term pain before he dies, his time in Gehenna (Hell) will be somewhat lessened for the evil he did during his life. Clearly, there are many leaders and nations who failed the litmus test of how they treated the Jewish people who are now paying their debt and with much more to come.  So, let us set the penalties now so those who play carelessly with the lives of their own people, thinking there is no penalty, will not be so quick to throw them to the Muslim Arabs and Palestinian wolves.

I wonder how many millions of lives have been lost by arrogant, stupid leaders who believe they know best, merely because they have captured the levers of power in government. Rarely are they stopped in time before they have sacrificed the very lives of their own people. Occasionally, they were held accountable either by a victorious adversary or by their own people. One thinks of Mussolini hanging for his crimes strung up by his own people. Hitler died by his own hand while his collaborators were hung by the Nuremberg Tribunal. Hafez Al Assad died of cancer before he could be brought to man's justice. Saddam is now going through a trial for crimes against his own people and, no doubt, he will be (should be) hung by his own people. That indeed will be true justice. Dictatorial leaders invariably punish their people for daring to defy their insane orders.  They tell their people, often by way of a corrupt court system slaved to their tyrannical rule, that they are teaching them a lesson in obedience - only they call it 'the law'.  One looks forward to the day when decent, truly law-abiding people will rise up and teach their arrogant tyrannical rulers a lesson. But, why wait for the inevitable 'big' lesson from on high to pronounce judgement on a travesty waiting to happen. There is already a delayed sentencing for what Sharon and Olmert have done to their own Jewish people in Gush Katif and the entire Southern Front which will soon be emptied of Jews, more Jews will be forced out by rockets and missiles from the Global Center for International Terrorism, created when Israel 'ethnically cleansed' the Gaza Strip.  Remember that before the 'garush' (evacuation) of 10,000 Jewish men, women and children from Gush Katif and Northern Samaria and destruction of their beautiful homes, farms, schools, synagogues, businesses, factories and even the cemeteries those 21 Jewish communities in Gaza were declared "at risk". Before his 'ethnic cleansing' in August of 2005, Sharon had the Knesset vote that, instead of the 21 communities at risk, after the eviction 44 communities in the Negev would then be at risk. Sharon knew those in so-called "Israel proper" would come under fire but he put them at risk anyway. And so they are. Katyusha Missiles (Grad missiles from Russia by means of Iran) and 'homemade' Kassem Rockets are falling on the Negev communities. The schools in Sderot were ordered by the Knesset to have their roofs reinforced with concrete - but, this was never accomplished. Only miracles have so far prevented deaths and dire injuries - so far. The people of Israel should be furious and unforgiving and NOT ignore the dangerous criminal stupidity of Sharon, Olmert and the entire Cabinet who voted for this uprooting. Those responsible should (minimally) be charged for crimes against the Jewish people after having exposed these innocent people to the predictable missiles and rockets that are now falling on the South. Why should the innocent, hard-working people of Israel pay this price when the shallow political dimwits have comfortable, safe dinners at home when they foisted this danger upon them with their frivolous decisions?

I have always believed that the Oslo Accords caused the subsequent 1500+ deaths and thousands of injuries - many maimed for life. Those who voted for Olso should have been held culpable and should be tried with penalties ranging from prison to a hanging offense as perpetrators of causing death.
 

 

EDITORIAL by Robert Novak: "WILL BUSH HELP ISRAELI CHRISTIANS?"

I just finished reading one of Robert Novak's screeds against the Jews. This was on the Editorial Page of the Chicago Sun-Times of May 25, 2006 but you may find it in your local newspapers. The title or I should say 'angle of attack' was "Will Bush Help Israeli Christians?" Novak continues in his foam-at-the-mouth rationale that somehow the Arab Christians in Israel have been oppressed by the Jewish State.  Whoa! I happen to know something about what is happening to the Arab Christians in
Israel at the hands of the Muslim Arabs.  While Novak twists the story to meet his ever-present goals of pillorying the Jews, the facts speak otherwise. The Arab Muslims have virtually emptied the Arab Christians out of every town over which they gained control - especially since the Oslo Accords signed September 13, 1993 gave them power over the seven major Arab cities in Gaza, Judea and Samaria. That includes Bethlehem, Jericho, Gaza, Ram'Allah, Qalqilya, Jenin and Schem(Nablus), plus countless smaller towns and villages. Today neither Bethlehem nor any other formerly comfortable Arab Christian city, town or village is a place that is safe for Arab Christians to live lest they be assaulted by Muslims who believe that anyone who leaves the faith of Islam is worthy of killing. Ask the Coptic Christians in Egypt why they are leaving that nation in droves. Strangely, the only place in the Middle East where Christians, be they European, American or Arab are safe is in Israel.  Why else do you think they are desperately trying to get on the West side of a stupid wall being built to try to keep Arab Muslim Terrorists from killing Jews?

Why do the Arab Christians wish to avoid being under the control of Mahmoud Abbas (aka Abu Mazen), the Hamas or any of the other Muslim 'Jihadist' (warriors for Islam) Terror organizations? The true angle of Novak's attack has little to do with Arab Christians and more to do with the Jewish settlers whom he clearly hates with a passion. When I say 'passion', consider how a Jew must hate himself and his religion to adopt another religion and then scream his arrogance. I am reminded of the now dead Casper Weinberger (Defense Secretary under Ronald Reagan) who often at a first meeting apologized for the drop of Jewishness in him. It's almost laughable for these anti-Semites to take up any cause except when it provides them with an opportunity to attack the Jews while rejecting their own Jewishness. Robert Novak is an embarrassment to the Jewish people and we are well rid of him. He does not have to prove that he hates the Jews as if the gentile world will hold him in higher esteem. We don't want him; you can have him if have a "hate-the-Jews" chorus in yourself or whatever group you belong to. In his article, Novak rants about Messianic Jews on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Strange, Novak has nothing to say about the Messianic Islamists who wish to hold onto the Temple Mount which is the holiest site in the world because it was where the Jews First Temple was built by King Solomon, son of King David. Had you, as an apostate Jew bothered to read the 'Tanach' (Bible), you would have seen the precise instructions given to King Solomon by G-d of how to build the Holy of Holies up to the last cubit. Novak also artfully avoided the fact that, until the Jews returned to their patrimony (the Land G-d gave to the Jews 3000 years ago), the Christians were not acceptable to the Muslims. Now, ask any Christian visitor if he is accorded free access to his Christian shrines and holy places - even to the point that it has been put into the Laws of the State of Israel to give the right for all religion to have free access to all their holy sites - including Christians, Muslims, Bahai, etc. Novak , please tell us, what Arab, be he Christian or Muslim has been denied access to his Church, Mosque or Shrine? The Arabs live better in the Jewish State under Jewish laws than they do anywhere else in the Middle East or the world. They have access to the courts to adjudicate their claims, a right which does not exist in most Arab countries or among the Muslim Palestinians. So tell us, Robert Novak, is your open hostility to Judaism from being beaten up because you were a shrimpy Jew as a kid? That you could not fight back and blamed the Jews for your having to run away from the gentile kids attacks? Did you adopt the philosophy, like Cap Weinberger: "If you can't beat them, join them."? Is that why you became a go-to-Church Christian? As you know, it didn't bring honor to the forced Jewish Conversos of Spain. They were called Marronos (which mean Pig in Spanish) and never liked or trusted by the Christians of Spain. Is that what you are, Robert, merely a Marrano/Pig - desperate for honor? Be assured, whatever you call yourself, to us your are still the 'pintele Yid' (the small Jew) running away from himself. If it helps you to foam at the mouth and curse at the Jews in Israel, go ahead. No one pays much attention - other than perhaps others like yourself. When you are ready, we Jews always take care of family - even when they are aberrant personalities who must be looked after.
