Notice: Politically correct Gentiles and suicidal Jews should not read any further. Hear that, Yossi Beilin, Shimon?



Webster's Collegiate Dictionary defines "treason" as "...the violation of the allegiance owed to one's sovereign or state; betrayal of one's country," and, specifically in the United States, "...consisting only in levying war against the U.S. or in giving aid and comfort to its enemies."



Recently, Arab students attending Hebrew University demonstrated against the visit of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, screaming -- among other things -- "We are all Ahmed Yassins!" Other Israeli Arabs appeared in newspapers all over the world holding up Yassin's picture in protest marches. Arab legislators in the Knesset typically behave similarly.



In reality, this is nothing new.



Like him or not, agree with him or not, the late Rabbi Meir Kahane reported such things decades ago and was branded a racist -- if truth be told -- for coming to some subsequently very logical conclusions.



But why worry? Let's pretend that one fifth of Israel's growing Arab population -- with a higher birthrate than that of the Jews -- are all loyal citizens. Let's be ostriches, with heads in the sand.



Look, Israel must realize that most of the world will always have a double standard when it comes to the Jewish State. Call it looking through Jew-colored lenses, or whatever.



So, Israel must do what needs to be done and not wait to act, on matters of vital interest in particular, until obtaining the world's approval. I will be named the next Pope before that occurs.



Let's get something straight here. We're not talking about American students at Kent State University protesting American policies or the war in Viet Nam. What we are talking about is the freest Arabs to be found anywhere in the Middle East -- those in Israel -- supporting murder and the destruction of the very state in which they live. Hamas' actions and positions are well known to all, including to those who protested holding up Yassin's pictures.



In any Arab country, anyone engaging in such activity against the state would not be long of this world.



Indeed, in any other nation -- including America -- jail would likely be the minimum fate.



It's time for Israel to act in its own crucial interests the way all other nations would act.



Those Arabs who display such treachery must be, preferably, expelled from the country. Jail time only costs Israeli taxpayers money, of which there's much less in Israel these days due to Arab rejectionist actions and attitudes on both sides of the Green Line. Indeed, many Israeli Arabs have increasingly shown their true hands on these issues and have been actively involved in terrorism themselves.



Arabs could have had their 23rd state long ago if that's all that they wanted. Any fair assessment of the facts would show this. There's no need to rehash all the proposals yet again. The reality is that Arabs want their second state in mandatory "Palestine" (Jordan was created in 1922 on 80% of the original territory mandated to Britain on April 25, 1920) to exist in place of -- not alongside of -- Israel. A visit to the Palestinian Authority or Hamas websites, textbooks, etc. quickly confirms this, as does a look at the polls showing that even if Israel withdrew to its pre-1967, nine-mile wide, UN-imposed armistice line existence, Arabs would still reject its right to exist.



Kick those who articulate and exhibit such behaviors out of the country.



And tell the protesting hypocrites that Israel, like all nations, must have its lines in the sand that cannot be crossed in terms of acceptable behavior by those wishing to live within its borders.
