Jules Crittenden had this to say today:
Of course. It has nothing to do with the Palestinian people’s decision to elect a terrorist organization to its government, or the failure of moderate leaders to rid themselves of corruption and exercise true leadership.
The spectacle of Palestinians committing atrocities against Palestinians far beyond any of Israel’s supposed crimes ”illustrates the failure of Bush’s Mideast policy.” It couldn’t possibly suggest that the Palestinian people are incapable of governing themselves and under present circumstances decades, possibly centuries from that.
The famous last words of a Fatah gunman prior to be executed by Hamas gunmen, “We’re not Jews!” brought the retort from a Jewish colleague of mine, “Well, you are now.” But the truth is, while the Palestinians would do to the Jews what they are doing to each othr if they had half a chance, the Jews would not do this to them, nor to each other.
In addition to Bush’s fault, of course, it is Israel’s fault. I’m seeing some Arab fear. Where is the Arab shame? Here’s a thought. How about doing something?
Notice the following paragraph, reread it carefully: The famous last words of a Fatah gunman prior to be executed by Hamas gunmen, “We’re not Jews!” brought the retort from a Jewish colleague of mine, “Well, you are now.” But the truth is, while the Palestinians would do to the Jews what they are doing to each othr if they had half a chance, the Jews would not do this to them, nor to each other. Notice he did not say “We’re not Israelis,” he said “We’re not Jews.” Does that not tell you that the terrorists’ goal is not merely the eradication of of the Zionist Entity but the completion of Hitler’s dream?
As Crittenden so aptly put it, Jews with all their faults could never ever do to others what these Hamas/Fatah thugs are doing to each or even to themselves. Yet, these guys having demonstrated amply what they really want… not a two state solution side by side with the Zionist Entity but a one state based on the most extreme and repressive Islamist rule. And yet, while any other country around the world would take the most extreme measures to defend themselves against such a potential neighbor, the Quartet will soon (as soon as the initial shock wears off) that to prevent another internecine Palestinian slaughter Israel should do another gesture or two on behalf of these thugs to demonstrate good will and encourage them. The world’s hypocrisy when it comes to anything involving the Israeli/Palestinian conflict is raising such a moral stench it’s becoming unbearable. And yet, neither the EU nor the Realpolitick James Baker dogs at Foggy Bottom will change their outlook. As far as they are concerned, it’s merely a matter of “better the Jews Israelis, than us.”
The more history changes, the more it stays the same. When Hitler in the 30s said exactly what he was going to do, nobody believed him but he, nevertheless, did it. When Stalin said exactly what he wanted to do, nobody in the West believed him but he, nevertheless, did it. When bin Laden said exactly what he wanted to do nobody believed him but he nevertheless did it! When Ahmedinajad says he wants to “wipe Israel off the map” nobody believes him… When Hamas says that it cannot rest until the Zionist Entity has been wiped off nobody believes them, not even in Israel… Little does the West realize that as a beast gets used to flesh and blood it craves more and more of the same… I hope and pray the West wakes up and realizes the carnage in Gaza, could next happen anywhere in the West. If these animals have little regard for their own why would they have any regard for anybody else? Thinking that a problem will go away if you ignore never worked, why would it work now?!?!?
