I usually avoid the Los Angeles Times like the plague, mainly because I find them to be as favorable to the Jews and Israel as are Mel Gibson and Jimmy Carter. However, needing something to wrap the trash recently, I came across a glaring front page banner that got my attention - "Killings Put Gaza on Edge" (Frankly I was hoping for 'Gaza to be put on the edge of a cliff.') The lead line said, "The gunning down of a Palestinian official's sons inflames tensions between rival factions." The latest 'incident' in a very long line of them, brought to us almost daily by these barbaric savages, means Hamas and Fatah are at it again.



Wow! Do you think the Israeli security fence - which our anti-Semitic former President Jimmy Carter described as being part of the "apartheid" of the poor, downtrodden Palestinians - was the cause of the killings? Are they now killing their own because they can't reach the Jews as easily anymore?



Relax, everyone. This latest rampage through the streets of Gaza is only one more of their daily OK Corral-style shoot-out rituals in the middle of the snake pit called Gaza, referred to by our State Department and President George Bush as the "homeland of the Palestinians." We all know there will be more to come; it seems to be just what certain Muslims do.



Actually, what I would really like to see now are more photo-ops of Carter, except this time showing him signing his book in downtown Gaza bookstores. Oh wait, I forgot. This bunch doesn't read anything but the Koran, and the idea of a bookshop - where people could possibly learn how to improve their lives - is laughable, given that they can't yet build a hospital or control their sewage.



Don't you find it is ever-so-cute when these flesh-eaters and body mutilators are referred to in media reports as "senior Palestinian intelligence officers"? What is a person to think, that this is an acceptable face of government? Perhaps to post-modernist, leftist culture-haters it is. It never seems to matter if they are the ones who are riddling cars and nearby children with bullets or are the ones being riddled.



It's what Islamofascists do, and we have grown so used to it that it passes for normal. Even the weekly beheadings barely get a response. No, the new-speak is to always refer to them, as does the LA Times, as "senior Palestinian intelligence officers." (Or to lovingly refer to them in their own preferred term: "freedom fighters".) Just don't tell the truth. It might upset someone.



It is all getting a little predictable though, don't you think? Following their savage rampages, the LA Times always seems to manage a blurb that gushingly tells us how "later in the day, hundreds of enraged mourners burned tires, closed roads and shut down the city's central market." This is usually accompanied by pictures of thousands of upset Muslims carrying corpses over their heads, rejoicing over the fallen martyrs. Oh, sorry. I meant "mourning the dead." How do they remember which is which?



I wonder if anyone in the Palestinian Authority ever stops to notice that, in civilized societies - such as in their neighbor Israel - the first reaction to a tragedy is not to burn tires and riot in the streets, not to politicize the tragedy; especially not to march around parading corpses. PA groups kill randomly, mutilate the bodies and then pass around sweets; before piling into their cars to drive around aimlessly, blowing horns and shooting off guns. Always shooting off their guns. It's what all people do with international aid money, isn't it? Buying an AK-47 puts food on the table and clothes on the kids.



Frankly, this barbaric group only knows how to have their "Day of Rage." What else is new? They are born in rage and, as they get older, learn that the only way to live is to strive for death. My thinking is fairly simple: it is our duty to give them what they want. Because, folks, if we don't realize that we - collectively, a world-wide "we" - are in a war in which millions of people seriously believe that we are infidels and must either be converted, subjugated or killed, then the future is predictable and bleak: death. As politically incorrect as this might sound, it has come down to them against us.



Our leadership here in the US and the present-day gutless leadership of Israel have our two countries on a road to hell. That, folks, is the "Roadmap." It is up to us, the people - "We, the People" - to snap out of our cocoons of apathy and start writing letters, running for office and marching though the streets by the millions to get our message across.



We, in the United States, haven't a clue as to what the people in Israel are thinking other than what we read in rags like the LA Times. Get informed from other, more reliable and less biased sources. They do exist. If I can find them, so can you. What's your excuse?



I remember when I was in Gaza, shortly before the first Intifada. The lasting image I have is that all those people seemed to do was burn tires and sit around playing cards, talking and smoking their 'laughing water,' with no women in sight. I remember the old-before-their-time and hate-filled eyes of the children who surrounded the car. And these people didn't even know that I was a Jewess. I was presenting myself as a Christian journalist from Georgia, representing the news media for singles and women. They still hated me.



The time for transfer is long over-due. I remember years ago, when Israel deported four hundred terrorists. "Deported," folks, not killed, murdered or mutilated, as the Arabs are so fond of doing. These deportees set up camps on the outskirts of Lebanese cities and, for months, the leaders of Israel allowed the media to film their 'plight' on a nightly basis. Under media pressure, the same incompetent 'leaders' of Israel allowed them re-enter in another one of their infamous "good-will gestures." Fine, if the goodwill was returned, but all that comes back across the lines are dead Israeli bodies; and the Jews go about mourning in privacy and decency away from the indifferent camera crews. Not news, you see.



No learning from history, though. Ehud Olmert is about to the open the jails and let the animals out to once again roam and bomb in the streets of Israel. This is intolerable and the masses should start letting their voices be heard. My thinking is that instead of releasing four hundred terrorists in Israel, they should have rounded up another four hundred thousand who are guilty of violent aggression in the Jewish state and moved them out. The trouble with Israel is that, just like a bad lover, they simply roll over and fall asleep. Their 'follow-up' is negligent of the needs of their people and it borders on the criminal. It is certainly insane.



History has shown that populations, even large populations, have been forced across borders into other countries in the interests of national sovereignty and security. It has been done and it must be done again. These enemies of Israel must be transferred.
