Two States for Two Terrorist Organizations

by Steven Plaut

  Where is MY new state?

So let's see if we understand the set of "solutions" being bandied about for resolving the Arab war against Israel and Jewish self-determination.

First there was the "Two-States for Two Peoples" solution, Part A. That was the one adopted in 1921, when the eastern part of Mandatory Palestine was separated from the western part, with the west earmarked to become a Jewish homeland and the eastern part an Arab state, Transjordan. Then came the "Two States for Two Peoples" solution, Part B, in 1947 when the UN proposed created yet another Arab state and a Jewish state out of Western Palestine. It should have been called three states for two peoples (the Jewish and Arab peoples), or – better yet – 23 states for two peoples (22 states for the Arab people and one state for the Jewish people), two of those Arab states in Palestine.

Then there is the "one state solution" currently being promoted by the Israeli self-hating Left and the Jews for a Second Holocaust, also known as the Rwanda Solution, where western Palestine would become a single Islamofascist terrorist state with an Arab majority and a Jewish minority, and the Jewish minority would face a Rwanda style fate. Naturally, every Neo-Nazi and anti-Semite on earth likes THAT solution.

Then in recent weeks the Israeli Moonbatocracy has come up with a new idea. TWO different states for the imaginary "Palestinian people," one for the Hamas in the Gaza Strip and the second in the West Bank for the Fat'h.

I kid you not.

The Israeli media are filled with people raising that as a serious suggestion. The idea arose after the Hamas turned Gaza into a killing field for Fat'h members. This weeks thousands of Fat'h members are begging to be allowed to enter the genocidal Zionist entity in order to take asylum there from the Hamas, even inside Israeli prisons, so that their lives may be saved. (Those prisons are not so bad, by the way, with three square meals a day and nice DVDs.) And not even a smirk of embarrassment from all those Israel bashers long claiming that the "Palestinians" are victims of ISRAELI brutality!

So to solve the "problems" of these po' Palestinians, the newest peace proposal being debated should be called "Two States for two Terrorist Organizations." There is one example of such a proposal here in Hebrew. You know, the newest version of Good Terrorist Bad Terrorist. Israel would make peace with the Fat'h good terrorists in the West Bank and later this would embarrass Hamastan into joining the peace.

Now I know what you are thinking and that is that this proposal does not go nearly far enough. After all, if each "Palestinian" terrorist organization is entitled to self-determination in the Lands of Israel, then why limit things to Hamastan in Gaza, and Fat'h-land in the West Bank?

What about the terrorists of Islamic Jihad? Aren't they also in desperate need of national self-determination? Don't they need their own state? So I propose turning Ramat Aviv over to them, including and especially the Tel Aviv University campus. I mean, it is not like there will have to be a lot of changes made on campus after they take over! As for Al-Qaida, clearly Ben Gurion University should be converted into their new nation-state. The Hezbollah will have to settle for the University of Haifa. The Taliban can take the Hebrew University.

Oh, there is one other conceivable alternative to all the above "solutions", but it is not one any Israeli political leader is considering or proposing. It is R&D = Re-Occupation and De-Nazification.

As it turns out, THAT is the only proposal that could work, and the only one not based upon endless Oslo-style self-delusion and make-pretend.

What We Can Learn From the Hamas Victory in Gaza

by Nissan Ratzlav-Katz

Call me a cynic, or say that I am jumping the gun here, but now that Hamas has apparently fully taken control of Gaza - with Fatah men running for the borders with Egypt and Israel, or even fleeing into the Mediterranean Sea - I think we can all learn one critically important lesson.

No, not that expelling Jews from parts of the Land of Israel will only make things worse in every respect for everyone concerned. Not that. That we knew soon after the Disengagement, when more rockets began falling on Sderot than before the expulsion of the Jews of Gush Katif.

And no, not that negotiating with terrorists leads to their violent path becoming more popular, rather than less so. Not that. That we learned shortly after Israel negotiated the
No "zbang ve'gamarnu" (bang, and it's done) solution?
Oslo Accords with the PLO - and the number of Jews killed by Arab terrorists since that "peace agreement" was signed increased exponentially over the number killed by Arab terrorists beforehand.

No. I'd say that the most important lesson to be learned from the Hamas success in Gaza is that it is, in fact, quite possible to defeat a terrorist organization. And it can be done within days.

Not only that, perhaps to the consternation of those with great faith in dialogue and reconciling "competing narratives" and "the peace process" and "peace now," the defeat of the Fatah terrorist organization was accomplished entirely by military means.

In Hebrew, many Israelis use the expression that there is no zbang ve'gamarnu ("bang, and it's done") solution to terrorism. Oh, no. It always has to be some long, drawn out and complicated effort involving political maneuvering, concessions (always by us, of course), and endless and pointless negotiations.

Well, considering that Hamas forces ended the reign of Fatah terror and eliminated most of their leadership in less time than it took us to win the Six Day War (yet, we have been fighting Intifada II for at least seven years), maybe there is a zbang ve'gamarnu solution, after all. Could it be?

In other words, in contrast to the accepted punditry and "common knowledge" in the West and in Israel, Hamas has proven that, yes, there is a military solution.

The Peres Presidential Waltz

by Steven Plaut

<<< Barghouti, Celebrating with Shimon

Well, it is now official. Shimon Peres, the godfather of the Oslo appeasements and "peace process", is the new President of Israel. Summing up the Presidential election in Israel: What Moshe Katsav is accused of doing forcibly to several young women, the NEW president of Israel did to the entire country!

For those who dismiss this as a harmless empty gesture to the old geezer, think again.

The President of Israel is mainly an honorary post, like a member of the House of Lords. But Peres will not be out hunting foxes in tweeds. In Israel, the President has powers of granting clemency. And smack at the top of Peres' new presidential appeasements will be his granting clemency to imprisoned PLO mass murderer Marwan Barghouti! (For more information on Barghouti go here and here)

All of which brings us to the new song about Israeli President Shimon Peres, with apologies to Irving Berlin:
The Peres Presidential Waltz
To the tune of Fred Astaire singing "Cheek to Cheek"
(written by: Irving Berlin)

Heavens, Nine Elevens,
And my brain hurts so that I can hardly speak;
For I cannot find the sanity I seek,
When he's dancing with Barghouti, sheik to sheik.

Heavens, Nine Elevens,
Cause the Knesset chose a loser and a geek;
And it's soon to be Barghouti's lucky streak,
When he's dancing with Barghouti, sheik to sheik.

Oh! He loves to patronize us,
Oslo victims in his heap;
But that doesn't scare me half as much,
As his prancing sheik to sheik.

Oh! he loves to take us floating,
With no paddles down his creek;
And he loves to go appeasing,
when he's dancing sheik to sheik.

The Peres Waltz,
Barghouti's arm about him;
No terror halts,
He'll produce more 9-11s:

Heavens, Nine Elevens,
and I'm speechless at this presidential freak;
And I cannot find the sanity I seek
Cause he's dancing with Barghouti, sheik to sheik.
