Seems that this “summit” between Olmert and Abbas won’t take place after all. As summit fans will recall, Olmert was to meet his good friend Abbas in Palestinian territory as a “gesture of honor.” Previous “summits” between Olmert and well-dressed thugs took place in Jerusalem.

Please see my previous blog here titled “Jacob Bows to Esau.”

Olmert didn’t cancel. He’s always ready to be “generous” with Jewish land. (Next? Syria.)

Abbas cancelled because, to put it plainly, Olmert refused to surrender. Capitulate? Yes. Painful confessions? You bet. Any time.

But not painful enough. So Abbas said no, no deal. Abbas wants everything. So does Condi.

In Condi’s view, apparently it’s all occupied territory. How British!

Condi is not happy at all about this turn of events. She doesn’t blame Abbas for the postponement. Of course not. She blames Olmert. Condi had this lovely plan. Olmert and Abbas were to meet, to summit, once every two weeks so that in time, Olmert might buckle and warm to the idea of providing the Palestinian Arabs with “a beautiful house.”

I caught this phrase in today’s New York Times – “a beautiful house.” Those are her words and that’s her vision. Israel is to create paradise not for itself but for Condi’s “Palestine.” Anything short of that is Israel’s fault. The Palestinian Arabs have no responsibilities, nothing to concede, nothing to build, nothing to contribute. They have nothing to do but wait to be served, utopia on a platter.

But – this “beautiful house” was already offered up, completely furnished, namely, Gaza. Here there were roads, schools, businesses, greenhouses, gardens, neighborhoods and above all, prosperity and peace. This was the house the Jews built, truly beautiful, and then the Israeli government came along, evicted these Israelis, brought in the Arabs, who immediately tore everything down and turned the place into a dump.

That’s what happened to that beautiful house, and now Condi wants more beautiful houses to be turned over. Where’s the logic? Don’t ask.

We know what America does to terrorists. (Properly and correctly so.) We shackle them and house them at Gitmo.

Now there, in a beautiful house like Gitmo, that’s where Abbas and his followers belong as a “gesture of honor.”

Want to know WHY al-Kassam rockets are falling on Sderot every day? I mean – besides the obvious cause, namely, the mega-stupidity of the Israeli government ordering the eviction of all the Jews from the Gaza Strip and turning it over to the genocidal terrorists of the Hamas.

Want to know the OTHER reason why the rockets keep falling?

It is because Israel's government does not have the courage to prevent sugar from being imported into the Gaza Strip.

Huh? - you say?

Yes, the root problem is sugar. Why sugar? Well, Kassam rockets are primitive little devices thrown together in the basements and underground tunnels of the Gaza Strip. They use a primitive fuel that is mainly a mix of sugar and fertilizer. If you think I am kidding, take a look at this or this or this . These are NOT the Katyusha rockets of the Hizbollah, although a few katyushas have also been fired out of Gaza by the savages.

This has all been known for years. If Israel had simply announced that no sugar at all (better yet – no fertilizer either) can be brought into the Gaza Strip, the residents of Sderot would be strolling about in tranquility, enjoying the evening Negev breezes and listening to the birds. Instead, Ehud Olmert and Amir Peretz prefer to be the Sugar Daddies for the Gaza Strip.

The problem is that the same state of Israel that clobbered the Arab aggressors in six days in 1967 and then rescued the Entebbe hostages in 1976 is today too afraid of its own shadow to stop the imports into Gaza of sugar and fertilizer.

Sure, the academic moonbats in Israel would have a fit if the sugar shipments were stopped and Gaza were placed under a sugar embargo. They of course would oppose anything, short of unconditional surrender by Israel, to stop the rocket barrages on Sderot. Their anti-Semitic friends abroad would also chime in their outrage.

So to keep a lid on things, I hereby propose that Israel announce a new dental health program of preventive dental medicine for Gaza. To help prospective suicide bombers and rocket shooters from developing painful problems of tooth decay, Israel will do the humanitarian thing and stop all sugar imports! Any leftist protesting this would be seen as an anti-dentite.

And then to offset any damages to Gaza from a halt in imports of fertilizer, Israel can also shut off the water supply to Gaza and let the locals fertilize their fields with human organic substances that cannot be used to produce Kassam rockets.

"A Conspiracy!" cried the delighted lady, clapping her hands. "Of all things, I do like a Conspiracy! It's so interesting!"
— Lewis Carroll, My Lady, Sylvie and Bruno (1889)

Israel's media regularly report "rumors" and baseless stories that are grist for the mills of the conspiracist nuts. Later, when they correct the record, the corrections get ignored.

Take the "report" that Netanyahu had received advanced reports of the attacks on the London tube trains a couple of years back. Netanyahu was in London at the time of the attacks. Haaretz carried the "report" that Netanyahu had advance warnings of the attack, and Haaretz then was quoted by every Neo-Nazi and anti-Semitic conspiracist web site on earth to prove that Israel was behind those attacks. Of course the "advanced report" turned out to be well after the bombs went off, and the "advanced report" was simply a warning to Netanyahu, and no doubt to other diplomats, to stay off the streets until the bombings and related events were sufficiently clarified and investigated. It was "advanced" only in the sense that the media had not yet been given an official report. But Haaretz' repeating the lie (later retracted) helped reinforce the Neo-Nazi claims that all the Jews who work in the WTC had advanced warning and did not show up for work on 9-11, a lie that continues to proliferate. (For example, see this on a Holocaust Denial Neo-Nazi web site, one on which conspiracist Barry Chamish is a regular columnist.)

Well, now it is the turn of the Jerusalem Post. It carries a "report", actually a fabrication by a British diplomat, claiming that the Israeli intelligence agency Shin Bet was involved with the hijacking of the Air France plane to Entebbe in 1976, supposedly collaborating with the terrorists in staging a hijacking.

The "allegation" appeared in a document written by official DH Colvin at the British embassy in Paris, quoting a contact at the Euro-Arab Parliamentary Association, as the crisis unfolded. One moonbat cites another moonbat who cites a third, and you have a "document".

"According to his information, the hijack was the work of the PFLP, with help from the Israeli Secret Service, the Shin Bet," he wrote.

That is how the Jerusalem Post irresponsibly repeats it and reports it as news. Of course the whole thing is nothing more than a fabrication by a moonbat British diplomat in Paris, who wrote his allegations on a piece of paper. That piece of paper is now a "document". When the Jerusalem Post reports it as "an alternative take on the hijacking," it gives it credibility. See this.

The "Shin Bet - Terror Conspiracy" is by now on every Neo-Nazi chat list on earth and is being embraced by all the usual conspiracy nuts, the people who also claim that Israel knocked down the World Trade Center Towers to make the Arabs look bad.

The irresponsibility of Israel's mainstream media reaches a new low!
The Jerusalem Post adds:
"Shimon Peres, who was defense minister at the time of the hijacking and Entebbe rescue, said over the weekend that the claims were so outrageously baseless that they did not merit comment." That hardly makes up for the Post's foolishness.

In contrast to Ezra Halevi's article "Public Figures Express Regret For Disengagement," I would like to now finally come out of the closet and very strongly advocate "disengagement," the uprooting of settlements in Gaza.

The arguments in favor of "disengagement" in Gaza are clear; they have been stated already many times by Israeli leaders and other left-wing thinkers.

Announcing the "disengagement" in 2003, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said: "The purpose of the Disengagement Plan is to reduce terror as much as possible, and grant Israeli citizens the maximum level of security. The process of disengagement will lead to an improvement in the quality of life, and will help strengthen the Israeli economy."

Mark Heller, from the Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies in Tel Aviv, wrote that "the strongest argument in favor of unilateral disengagement has been that since there is no partner for negotiations, either on permanent status issues or even on the Road Map, there is no reason for Israel to condition its actions on a negotiated agreement, which would essentially mean doing nothing."

Dov Weissglas, Sharon's right-hand man and chief of staff for promoting "disengagement," said the following in an October 2004 interview with Haaretz newspaper: "The significance of the Disengagement Plan is the freezing of the peace process.... When you freeze that process, you prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state and you prevent a discussion on the refugees, the borders and Jerusalem. Disengagement supplies the amount of formaldehyde that is necessary so there will not be a political process with the Palestinians."

Another three arguments in favor of "disengagement" were: 1) Israel cannot rule over the Arabs forever; 2) Arabs may in time outnumber Israelis and demand the right to vote; and 3) it is not worth the expenditures of the army in the Gaza region.
"Disengagement will lead to an improvement in the quality of life." - Ariel Sharon


Also, "there will be a million Palestinians spared that daily, grinding friction in their lives," said David Makovsky of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.

Gerald Steinberg noted that "disengagement" would "minimize vulnerability to another and potentially more deadly terror campaign."

For all of the above reasons, and more, I hereby strongly advocate the uprooting of the settlements in Gaza. With "determination and sensitivity," all the existing settlements - from Rafiach to Khan Younis, from Deir El-Balah to Gaza City, and on to Bait Lahiya and Beit Hanoun (especially Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoun) - must be uprooted immediately.

Yes, you know - "painful concessions", "sacrifices for peace" and all that stuff.

We tried uprooting Jewish settlements for the sake of peace. As anyone in Sderot can testify, that didn't work out so well. So, why not try uprooting Arab settlements for the sake of peace? I have a feeling that will work out much better. And if it doesn't, well, what the heck, I can always write a contrite op-ed somewhere a year or two later....

Well the British tenured anti-Semites and the pseudo-scholars have decided to boycott Israeli universities. It remains to be seen if the mediocre British institutions of higher learning will survive this.

In any case, having thought about it a bit, I think that the British boycott of Israeli universities and academics has its POSITIVE aspects. In fact, I think we should ENCOURAGE the Brits to boycott Israeli academics, or at least SOME academics.

So to help these British boycotters, I have prepared a list of Israeli academics whom they can immediately begin boycotting:

Ilan Pappe (University of Haifa), Neve Gordon (Ben Gurion University), Oren Yiftachel (Ben Gurion University), David Newman (Ben Gurion University), Avraham Oz (University of Haifa), Anat Matar (Tel Aviv University), Anat Biletzki (Tel Aviv University), Ran HaCohen (Tel Aviv University), Moshe Zimmerman (Hebrew University), Yuval Yonay (University of Haifa), Yoav Peled (Tel Aviv University), Shlomo Sand (Tel Aviv University), Lev Grinberg (Ben Gurion University), Colman Altman (Technion, emeritus), Jacob Katriel (Technion), Ron Kuzar (University of Haifa), Yehuda Shenhav (Tel Aviv University), Kobi Snitz (Bar Ilan University), Menachem Klein (Bar Ilan University), Dan Rabinowitz (Tel Aviv University), Uri Ram (Ben Gurion University)

You can find many more names of Israeli academics who can be boycotted by the British at the web site of www.israel-academia-monitor.com!!
