Under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, nearly 10 years years ago, almost 97% of disputed lands were  handed to the then-PA head, Yasir Arafat, who proceeded to lose control and reign oblivious (or complicit) in the utter do-nothingism of his terrain. He failed to sequester terrorists, failed to collect illegal guns and equipment and materiel forbidden to the street gangs under Arafatian covert control, failed to initiate a reform that was meaningful in any wise. Suicide bombings in the  regressive and  bloody intifadeh continued at a rate of dozens per day, many if not most stemmed by the valiant and dutiful Israel Defense Forces. As a consequence of the mayhem and murder rained upon the cities of Israel, Israel had a duty to defend itself against depredations and attacks. This she did, with care and delicacy for life. Unlike her adversarial terrorists under first the quasi-senseless Arafat, and his student and legatee, Mahmoud Abbas, a man who participated in every massacre and attack planned and underwritten by his capo, Yasir, for the past 5 decades. A man whose PhD thesis was that there never was a Holocaust.

To condemn Israel on any terms, any terms whatsoever, when it has made excruciatingly wrenching gestures of land and commitments is nothing short of sheer gall and worse. The current Israeli government has seen that since the leadership of the PA is useless to cauterize suicide bombings, tunnels for smuggling arms, rocket attacks, constant attempts at murders on roads and social venues, there is no choice for security other than a physical barrier that will make access to innocent civilians in Israel harder to achieve. Indeed, it has cutr down on the deaths of Israeli infants and children, pregnant mothers and farmers by a whopping figure since its advent. this is not a cause for joy among those whose lifetime goals are to help spill the blood of Jews, no matter where or why or how or under what circumstances--even in hospitals where Jewish doctors have just ministered to wounds or helped save Arab lives or repaired Arab birth defects. The current PM Sharon is (unfortunately, from many points of view, especially those who know the issues and what is and is not at stake) committed to a unilateral withdrawal of almost 9,000 Israeli citizens of Gaza and North Samaria from those areas. This costs the Arabs nothing. They have made such a benison maximally irritating, in that their terror efforts have continued unabated, despite assurances by the Prime minister's office that withdrawal under fire will not happen. There is no way, apparently, that Arabs can  abide by a ceasefire or a declaration of peace, even for a few weeks, even when it means they are receiving a gift of thousands of acres they do not merit nor will they deserve in any sense of peace-keeping observances on their end.

That the Anglican church and their sibling quisling churches in the US has the temerity and outlandish ignorance to vote to sequester Israel, rather than the nuisances-in-chief for their endless fulminations with bullets, suicide belts, retarded men sent to bomb Jews, pregnant women and adulterous unfortunates bent on medieval 'honour retrieval' of their family names...this is ample cause for yet more millennia of justified Jewish belief that no matter what encyclicals issue forth from an 'enlightened' Vatican, no matter where, there is no understanding or empathy for Jews. Even after centuries of expulsions, genocidal pogroms and extermination efforts, and pallid efforts of crocodile tears immediately after the black horror of the Holocaust shamed the Christian majority with its unblinkable condemnation, the phoenix that has arisen without so much as a handkerchief of apology or figleaf is this: The Church thinks it can point fingers of condemnation against the Israeli state desperate trying to stanch its bleeding body politic.  To say that Jews the world over are appalled and disappointed at the injustice and plain bovine myopia of these divestitures or votes on maybe divestitures, on boycotts or maybe boycotts, does not go far enough.

How many Jews have to die for the various Churches of hypocritical and sanctimony to clean their bifocals and see the truth for what it is? How many times does the Jewish child and adult have to be bombed out of existence by savage primitives without a shred of PR among them that makes any sense whatsoever for the world to say, once and forever, We are sorry. We will not visit our hatred of Jews and our delight in Jewish death and hardship yet again on you who have escaped the gas camps of the apotheosis of this seething un-acceptance. The Church votes to condemn Israel? Their arthritic pointing hand has four pusillanimous, regressive-obsessive, stultified, anaerobic, Stygian, amoral fingers facing in the direction of those who ought to be condemned, instead. Take their pulpits from them, for they exemplify the evil and hatred of the irredeemably ignorant or complicit.
