Yasser Arafat?s Palestinians collaborated and scouted Kuwait for Saddam?s invasion in 1990, and the linkage is still there. We saw on CNN, Arab Palestinians of all known terrorist factions marched in Gaza in support of Saddam. They shouted: "Dear Saddam, Burn Tel Aviv!" They also expressed their hatred of Americans, whom they call "Crusaders". The fiction that the terrorist groups of Hamas, Hezb?Allah, the Tanzim and al-Aksa Brigadesof Arafat?s Fatah and Islamic Jihad are separate entities is a fabrication for the West. They marched together, shouting: "Death to Americans!" and "Death to Israel!" They burned American and Israeli flags. Do we need a Road Map to guide us?



More to the point, the "Quartet" of the United Nations, European Union, Russia and America?s State Department (all of whom are, to a greater or lesser extent, hostile to the Jewish State of Israel) are preparing to place these marching terrorists into the heart of Israel. Their theory is that the EU, using NATO Armed Forces, can separate the combatants. The "Quartet" knows their plan will be a failure from the start, because (ever since the signing of Oslo) those same Arab forces have plainly stated that they will continue to attack Israelis everywhere and that their new "State of Palestine" will occupy all of what is now Israel, with Jerusalem as the capital of that Arab state and of only that Arab state. Arafat vows in his Mein Kampf speeches to achieve this additional Arab state in ?blood and fire.?



Recall that Arafat?s Arab Palestinians who worked and were hosted in Kuwait were tasked with betraying Kuwait, acting as intelligence agents for Saddam. When Saddam invaded Kuwait, the Arab Palestinians joined Saddam?s troops to guide them to Kuwaiti banks, military installments, the homes of every key manager - most of whom were shot on the spot. Recall also how traitorous Arab Palestinians even rode with Saddam?s advance guards, raping and killing Kuwaitis who had befriended them.



Over 300,000 Arab Palestinians who lived and worked in Kuwait for years were transferred to Jordan after the war as enemies of Kuwait. Simultaneously, Saudi Arabia transferred 350,000 Arab Palestinians to Jordan as dangerous foreigners, whom they considered a fifth column and a dangerous threat to the Saudi kingdom. None of this has changed for Kuwait or for Saudi Arabia, which both refuse to employ any Arab Palestinians. Arafat became persona non grata in Saudi Arabia, the Gulf States, Syria - and all funds were cut off. Arafat?s Arab Palestinians never cut their ties with Saddam Hussein to this day. Yet the "Quartet" is willing to place Arab Palestinians, not trusted by Kuwait, Saudi Arabia or other Arab countries, into the heart of Israel.



Furthermore, the "Quartet" knows that there are three epicenters of terrorism: Iraq, Syria and Iran. Saudi Arabia should have been added to the list, because of its funding of Wahabbi Islam extremists and Osama bin Laden?s al-Qaeda. From the first three epi-centers, all of which are on the State Department list of State Sponsors of terrorism, come various terrorist proxies funded, trained, armed and tasked by these main countries. This would include Arafat?s PLO, his al-Aksa Brigades and Tanzim. In addition, Arafat has between nine and twelve Secret Service organizations, who act as a conduit between Arafat?s terrorists and other terrorists, including Hezb?Allah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other named or unnamed terrorist organizations.



If you can picture a large spider web with strands interconnecting through the main terrorist centers, to the proxies, then proxies to each other, you will get the idea of Global Terrorism. The members of the "Quartet" know all of the aforementioned facts and many of these terrorist organizations have cells and command structures in their nations. France, England and Germany have sizable populations of radical Muslim Islamists, who operate rather freely in these nations. In other words, they virtually tell these terrorists, "You can terrorize anywhere else, but, as long as we don?t interfere with your operations, you leave us alone." Thus, the "Quartet" plans to install next to and within Israel another Arab state, despite knowing that, under Arafat or his successor, this ersatz state will likely be a rallying place for all of the various terrorist entities and their sponsors. Another Arab Palestinian State to be imposed upon or over Israel will itself not only become the epicenter for cross-border terror against Israel, but it will also act as a command and control center for Global Terrorism.



All of this will be molded and placed in position by the "Quartet". The false assumption of the "Quartet" is that they will assemble a small army out of NATO and be able drive a wedge between the Arab Palestinian terrorist state and Israel. In theory, this is the plan to halt suicide bombings and other Palestinian attacks, thus preventing Israel?s defensive response. However, the "Quartet" already has experience, through the so-called UN Peace-Keeping Forces, with not being able, or not being willing, to stop terrorists filtering easily through their lines to conduct terrorism in Israel. There is also Israel?s experience in observing UN forces that assist the terrorists by closing their eyes to infiltrations and, in some cases, accepting money to not interfere.



History is packed full of instances of nations and their presidents gathering to subject smaller nations to their flawed judgement. Those small nations either disappear or are so crippled that they are soon over-run by their enemies. There are thousands of examples of nations having betrayed allies to satisfy their own needs and plans. We all remember the nations gathering and approving the sacrifice of Czechoslovakia?s Sudetenland to Adolph Hitler in an appeasement that only whet his appetite. We can recall a sick old President Roosevelt caving in at Yalta and gifting much of Europe to Stalin, in effect enslaving them to Communism. Who can forget a string of American presidents who committed America to defend South Vietnam, only to abandon the fight and leave South Vietnam to the Viet Cong? What can be said about the judgement of gifting Lebanon to Syria, putting the Lebanese under the yoke of the late dictator Hafez al-Assad? What about the decisions of George Bush, Sr. and James Baker to arm Saddam with WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction), in order to contain Iran? The "Quartet" reflects the poor judgement of their past failures. In the wake of their failed experiments, they have left other nations maimed, weak and ready for conquest.



As the Palestinian terrorists march in Gaza in support of Saddam Hussein and against America, the "Quartet" is meeting to pack these same terrorists into another Arab Palestinian State, in Israel?s heart.
