An appropriate response to the Hebron terrorists would be for Israel to immediately eradicate its own form of terrorism, that being its fifth column of traitorous Knesset Members.
Army Radio reported that while MK Ran Cohen (Meretz) is against the killing of Israelis, he feels the presence of settlers in Hebron is the underlying reason for the Nov. 15 Hebron massacre. Following this logic, Cohen most certainly blames the Jews themselves for the Nazi genocide against the Jewish people. After all, if the Jews weren’t in Germany and other European countries, 6 million would not have died.
Running neck-to-neck with Cohen is MK Yossi Sarid (Meretz) who said earlier that although they are “disgusting,” the Jewish residents of Hebron don’t deserve to be killed.
According to Israeli leftists, the victims are disgusting and responsible for their own deaths. One cannot help at this time but remember little 10-month-old Shalhevet Pass. As she was seated in her stroller, going with her parents to visit her grandparents in the Avraham Avinu neighborhood in Hebron, a Palestinian sniper opened fire from the Abu Sneneh neighborhood on the opposite hill. Shalhevet was fatally wounded by a shot to the head. Her father, Yitzhak, was moderately wounded in both legs. Of course Shalhevet was responsible for her own death. This “disgusting” 10-month-old should not have been in Hebron.
How can we expect the world’s outrage against Israeli terrorism when Israel’s own officials place the blame on the victims?
I am trying to understand how Jews can take a Jewish state, which was paid for with Jewish blood and continues to be paid for with Jewish blood, and decide it’s time to change it to a non-Jewish Israel in order to save themselves from the problem of terrorism.
It is abundantly clear that the Arab goal can be found in the bible of the PLO — it’s Covenant, a Covenant which as of today has still not been changed; a Covenant calling for the elimination of the Jewish state and the creation of a Palestinian Arab one in its place. This is what every Arab would like to see.
The problem is clear to those who wish to see it. Unfortunately, few do. Israel’s government leaders choose western “democratic” values over Zionism. They look away with the false expectation that they will wake up one day and the problem will be gone.
The average Jew outside Israel does not have an inkling of what is happening inside an “Arab” Israel. The average Jew outside Israel knows one can pray at the Wall, climb Masada, dine to his heart’s content at the King David Hotel, swim in the Dead Sea, and tour many of the beautiful cities. And that’s all he knows.
But if Jewish ignorance among those living outside Israel is bad, how much more tragic is the Jew who lives in Israel and refuses to recognize or understand the Arab reality? He is a criminal who will bring disaster upon himself and his children.
The right of the Jewish people to national rebirth in its own country was recognized in the Balfour Declaration and reaffirmed in the Mandate of the League of Nations, which gave international sanction to the historical connection between the Jewish people and Eretz Yisrael and to the right of the Jewish people to rebuild its national home.
On November 29, 1947, the UN General Assembly passed a resolution calling for
the establishment of a Jewish state in Eretz Yisrael. The right of the Jewish people to establish their state is irrevocable. This is the declaration that a state has been established where Jews will decide their own fate. This cannot be so unless that sovereign Jewish state has a majority of Jews. Israel was reconstituted for the Jews.
Are Jews prepared to allow the Arab the right to have his own state? Do the Arabs have a right to become a majority in Israel? This is becoming a reality rather quickly. In the Arab publication Al Akbar (May 1986), Yasir Arafat called for Palestinian women to increase their rate of childbirth. In a parody of the Bible, Arafat told his people, “be faithful and multiply and fill the conquered land.” Furthermore, Arafat told the newspaper that Israel is most concerned with the high Arab birthrate, which he referred to as the biological Palestinian bomb.
Unknowing Jews proclaim that the root of the Jewish-Arab problem is a lack of social and economic equality, and that because there is no contact between Jews and Arabs, there exists a terrible lack of understanding.
The truth is that the Arab understands the Jew and the State of Israel very well — and that’s precisely what makes him hate it and oppose it. The Arab understands that his ultimate inability to accept the State of Israel is the fact that it a Jewish state.
The Arab knows that there exists in Israel the basic Law of Return that grants automatic citizenship to Jews and not to Arabs.
The Arab knows that everything about the state ? its anthem, its heroes, its language, its religion, its aspirations – is Jewish, and he is not.
What bothers the Arab is Zionism – the existence of a Jewish state that by definition makes him less than equal.
A Jewish state and Judaism are incompatible with western democracy. There must be a legal and political differentiation between Jew and non-Jew so that Israel remains a Jewish state. The Jews have returned to the Land of Israel to create a Jewish state. A Jewish state can only be one with a majority of Jews. That is the only guarantee of sovereignty and mastery over our destiny.
