      Yes, Virginia, there ARE Military Solutions to Terror!!

      by Steven Plaut


      In reality, there are ONLY military solutions to the problems of terrorism.
      We have been lectured for so long by our pusillanimous politicians about how there are "no military solutions to the problems of terrorism," that many have been brainwashed into thinking that there exist non-military solutions to the problem of terrorism.

      In reality, there are ONLY military solutions to the problems of terrorism.

      And the proff is to be found in one of history's most successful anti-terror campaigns, that against Werwolf terror units of Nazi Germans after the end of World War II.

      The campaign against Werwolf terror is the subject of this article that just came out, by moi.

      Here is an excerpt:
      'After their military defeat by regular forces, the occupied population produced terrorists who engaged in bombings, sniping, poisonings, and other attacks on occupation forces and on the civilian population. They operated as irregulars in small terror units, armed with automatic weapons and bazookas. Women and minors as young as eight participated in the terror attacks. They attempted to build weapons of mass destruction, using chemical poisons. They assassinated officials of the occupation regime. They had a special obsession with torturing and murdering "collaborators." They murdered hundreds of civilians, while thousands of the terrorists themselves were killed by the occupation armed forces. The occupiers responded to terror with brutality and force, sometimes using collective punishment.

      'The above does not refer to or describe the anti-American and anti-British terror in Iraq and Afghanistan. Nor does it describe Palestinian terrorism against Israel launched from the West Bank and Gaza. What it does refer to is the campaign of terrorism directed against Allied forces in Europe in the aftermath of the defeat of Nazi Germany.'

      Go here for the rest of the story.

      Israel Police Arrest Salman Rushdie to Defend Democracy

      by Steven Plaut

      Israeli Police Arrest Salman Rushdie (June 25, 200?):

      In a surprise development, it has just been learned that Israeli police, tipped off by the Mossad, have arrested controversial author Salman Rushdie. The exiled Iranian writer had been on a private visit to Israel, shortly after being knighted in Britain.

      Rushdie was apprehended while visiting the Middle East Studies department at the Hebrew University. He had originally been scheduled to address the political science department at Ben Gurion University, but the professors there all announced that they had decided to boycott Rushdie's talk, since Rushdie was offensive to Moslem sensitivities and politically incorrect.

      Upon commencement of his talk at the University, Israeli police suddenly broke into the lecture hall and dragged a handcuffed Rushdie away. He is being held in isolation in an unspecified Israeli prison while his fate is being decided. Rushdie's arrest came as part of Israel's new campaign to imprison those whose expression and speech is offensive to Moslems. It will be recalled that a fanatical woman named Tatiana Suskin was sentenced to two years in Israeli prison for distributing posters in Hebron that show the Prophet Mohammed as a pig. Unnamed sources have been quoted as saying that Rushdie and Suskin will be sharing the same cell.

      The Knesset immediately went into emergency session to debate the Rushdie Affair. The government's recommendation is that Rushdie be handed over to Iran as a goodwill gesture. Iran has an outstanding warrant for the arrest of the author, and it is believed he would be immediately executed if extradited to Iran.

      The Hadash Communist Party has initiated a Knesset resolution that would create an exemption to Israel's criminal code, which generally bans capital punishment, and would allow Rushdie to be executed within Israel itself, or at least turned over to the Palestinian Authority for execution. The Likud and Labor Party are expected to vote in favor of the Hadash proposal, while other parties are still undecided. Newly appointed President Shimon Peres insisted that both arrests were part of the breaking out of good relations in the New Middle East.

      Congratulations to Israel have been coming in from all over the world. The heads of the Anti-Defamation League and the American Jewish Congress in the United States have issued statements supporting the arrest. "After all," explained ADL chief Abraham Foxman, "Rushdie's Satanic Verses is at least as objectionable as Suskin's pig poster. Israel is to be congratulated for its defense of freedom of expression."

      Reactions in the Moslem world have been mixed. While congratulating Israel for the arrests of Suskin and Rushdie, the Prime Minister of Malaysia added that this still did not excuse the international Jewish conspiracy to control the world. Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, backed by singer Cat Stevens, is quoted as saying that while both Rushdie and Suskin deserve the death penalty for offensive statements, Judaism is still a gutter religion. Jesse Jackson expressed satisfaction that Rushdie and "that Hymie-girl Suskin" got what they had coming to them for making offensive statements.

      Palestinian Authority President Abu Mazen expressed satisfaction that the Oslo peace process was at last producing some progress and forward momentum.

      What's Next, Britain? The Ovens?

      by Jack Engelhard

      Over in England, the boycotts against Israel are coming so fast that it’s tough to keep score.

      The latest group to join this boycott frenzy, begun by the Anglican Church, are university professors who band together as the British University and College Union. These are academics, people who “think” for a living, but are usually first to succumb to “the beauty of brute force and mindlessness,” as absurdist playwright Eugene Ionesco had it in his play Rhinoceros. (German academics were among the first to swoon for Hitler.)

      These British professors are part of a boycott craze that includes British journalists, British doctors, British architects, British public servants, all of whom have something in the works to punish the Jewish State. (Jews must always be punished for one thing or another.) There’s no talk of boycotting Britain itself for its occupation, and occasionally its genocide, of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

      Hold the phone. This word just in! Britain’s largest trade union, UNISON, has just passed a resolution to boycott Israel. You just can’t keep up with these people.

      All those in favor of trashing Israel (instead of China for its rape of Tibet) deny that their actions are prompted by anti-Semitism. (Of course not!) No, they say, their resolutions are strictly anti-Israel. What if those were Norwegians living in Israel instead of Jews? There’d be no boycotts. That’s my guess. What’s yours?

      If there’s any doubt as to what motivates these boycotters, here’s late word from journalist Pamela Hardyment: “Shame on all Jews, may your lives be cursed.” (As it says in our Scriptures, back to you, Ms Hardyment.) Ms. Hardyment belongs to Britain’s National Union of Journalists, which voted last April to boycott Israeli goods.

      Arab terrorists kidnap BBC correspondent Alan Johnston so naturally British journalists boycott Israel. This makes sense, right?

      The boycotts “do not represent the opinion of the British public,” according to Prime Minister Tony Blair, as reported in Arutz Sheva.

      Let’s hope he’s right.

      But this boycott fad, ironically, makes the case FOR Israel, a land that distances the Jews from Europeans who still fiddle for Richard Wagner, who, incidentally, campaigned for a boycott against “Jewish music.” Along this trend, we should be hearing from Britain’s musicians’ union any minute. (By any other name, it’s still anti-Semitism, actually.)

      Back in Germany, the ovens didn’t start heating up until the late 1930s and the early 1940s. The process toward the Final Solution began April 1, 1933 with a BOYCOTT, when Germans were forbidden to buy from Jewish shops and businesses. Jewish professors were placed on notice to maintain a low profile.

      The 1935 Nuremberg Laws stripped Jews of their citizenship and on November 9, 1938, Jewish shops were smashed and vandalized. This was Kristallnacht. Some 100 German Jews were murdered. The letter “J” was posted upon the doors and windows of all Jewish businesses.

      Jewish professors were tossed from their lecterns, BOYCOTTED (sound familiar?), detained, arrested, deported, gassed.

      Then they came for the rest.

      The Arab world loved this and took it as a cue for their own designs against the Jewish State. Arab boycotts against Israel have been in and out for decades.

      Britain’s unions now march alongside Vanessa Redgrave and by the way, what’s this about Tony Blair being named chief envoy to the Middle East? Don’t people simply RETIRE anymore? Whatever you think of Blair (good, bad or indifferent) no one from that country, from Britain, ought to have any say on Israel – not after all this!

      Blair is to head-up the QUARTET – which again sounds like something cooked up by Richard Wagner, as performed by Daniel Barenboim.

      If boycotts there must be, let it be a true boycott, such as no more news about Israel, period, especially from the BBC. This blackout I favor.

      I’m not saying that these British unionists desire another Holocaust. Or maybe I am. Heck, yes I am. If it quacks like a duck it must be a duck.

      This much is for sure. Jews in Britain, indeed Jews around the world better WAKE UP AND SMELL THE OVENS.

      When Did Mahmoud Abbas Become Mother Teresa?

      by Jack Engelhard

      In his meeting with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, President Bush cited Mahmoud Abbas as “a reasonable voice among the extremists.”

      Speaking on Fox TV, even Charles Krauthammer labeled Abbas as a nice guy. (Or words along those lines.)

      Therefore, Abbas is to receive all the money and weapons he needs to stay in business along the “West Bank” (before Hamas comes in to take that over as well, using all the American-provided firepower that it stole right under the nose of Fatah.This Hamas takeover of the "West Bank" is sure to happen any day, any week. You have my guarantee on this -- and you heard it here first.)

      America is shipping over these gift packages as quickly as it can, and Israel is about to release millions in withheld tax revenues. (If it hasn’t done so already.)

      Quickly, more Jewish guns and bullets are being rushed to Abbas and his Fatah “moderate” terrorists.

      The European Union has already lifted its economic embargo against the PA – which never went into effect anyway.

      At the same time, Gaza’s Palestinian Arabs who voted for Hamas are now surging into Israel for health and safety. Or, as someone has already written – You Wanted Hamas, You Got Hamas. (Why this change of heart?) Newly appointed defense minister Ehud Barak is showing the world that he is more merciful than God by allowing dozens, soon to be hundreds (perhaps thousands?) of these Hamas supporters to cross through and sometimes into Israel. (The safety of Arabs first, the safety of Jews last.)

      Did someone say “reasonable voice?”

      In his book, “The Other Side: The Secret Relationship Between Nazism and Zionism,” Abbas wrote that the figure SIX MILLION was “inflated” and designed to serve “the purpose of the Zionistic movement.” Abbas placed the number of Jews murdered in the Holocaust at “only” a few hundred thousand. (The title alone is a tip-off of where Abbas is going in this “book.”)

      Abbas served as Yasser Arafat’s lieutenant during Arafat’s PLO reign of terror against Israel throughout the decades, beginning in the 1960s. Virtually every suicide bombing and terrorist attack against Jews, inside and outside of Israel, could be traced back to Arafat and tinged with Abbas’s fingerprints.

      There is evidence (as noted in Wikipedia online) that Abbas funded the Munich Olympic Massacare of 1972. Eleven Israeli athletes were murdered in cold blood.

      Hamas took responsibility for the March 27, 2002 Passover Massacre at the Park Hotel in Netanya, and here 30 Israelis, most of them elderly, were murdered. The PLO distanced itself from this slaughter and condemned it in the English-speaking press. But in the Arabic press, the same PLO, administered by Arafat and Abbas, praised the debauchery and glorified the murderers.

      Some will say that everything is relative. Yes, this man Abbas may have weaknesses, but his Fatah is not as bad as Hamas.

      If this is true and acceptable, it is like saying that Al-Qaeda is good and moderate because it is not as bad as the Taliban.

      It is like saying that Adolf Eichmann was good and moderate because he was not as bad as Josef Mengele.

      Bottom line – Mahmoud Abbas may be a terrorist, but he is OUR terrorist, so come let us adore him.
