For G-d?s sake, how much longer must the State of Israel appear like a deer in the headlights? How many more empty houses must be bombed, until the message comes through that more - much more - is needed? The only thing the animals responsible for terrorism need to understand is that they will be severely punished if they even think of causing the wanton damage that they continue to now. Like puppets, President George Bush and his sidekick, Colin Powell, speak repeatedly about the "peace process." Tell me? Is that anything like making kosher sausage? Because, folks, there ain't no such thing as the 'peace process.' While the citizens of Israel are being slaughtered, Colin Powell urges President Bush to give the Palestinians a ?light at the end of the tunnel? by giving them their own ?interim? or ?provisional? Palestinian state. While they are busy glazing over this light, Bush somehow neglected to describe the tunnel itself. What does the roadmap in his vision look like? Does it involve understanding the mentality of the roach that sneaks into a college student union and plants a bomb?



There is no limit to Arab terrorist depravity. So, excuse me if I don't try to understand the depth of their anger. I'm still trying to deal with mine. After the horrific bombing at Hebrew University, suspicion arose that the bomb may have been planted with the help of someone from within the school. What I want to know is why those that could be terrorists are working inside a Jewish university. Hadassah hospital has always prided itself on treating Arabs from the Palestinian Authority within its walls. Well, it's time to change. Let them work and live amongst their own.



While the Palestinians, most of Europe and much of the press accuse Israel of being part of a ?cycle of violence?, there are some who know that terrorism and cold-blooded murder of civilians cannot be mentioned in the same breath as defense. Arab terrorist murderers are not prosecuted or pursued by their own, ever. No one from the United Nations or the surrounding Arab states offer condemnation. Tell me? Who would be the group with which the Europeans suggest Israel make this elusive peace? Who in the PLO shall share in the ?family of nations?? The PLO and its satellites have made clear that the goal of the Arab world is the complete and utter destruction of the State of Israel. Hamas leader Abdulaziz Rantisi said in an interview, ?We are sorry for the non-Zionist victims? but, they were in a place where they should not have been. Everybody knows there is a war going on here and they should not be in a war zone.?



Does President Bush have any idea of the Middle Eastern mentality when he goes on television talking about his fury, while in the same breath talking about how there are a few fanatics who don't want to see the peace process succeed? No, there is an entire Moslem culture that wants to see the demise of the Jewish State. Peace or the strip of land isn't really the issue. It's that the state they want to build is to be from the ruins of the Jewish state. With that in mind, I suggest that for every bombing the PLO succeeds in carrying out, Israel should recapture and immediately annex ten percent of the land that they have given to the PA. Give the residents a certain deadline and then move them out. Bombing terrorist homes isn't enough, unless the terrorist?s family is inside them. That will get their attention. Then, they might come to accept that unless the terror stops, they will be collectively dead. Ariel Sharon has to know that the solution is ?it?s either them, or us? that will have to suffer defeat. The answer damn well better be ?them.?



Well, folks for once I agree with the enemy. Israel is in a war, the same as we in the United States are in a war. The enemies? goals couldn?t be clearer. In war, bad things happen. Hopefully, to bad people. The time for restraint has long gone. This is not the time for political correctness either. This is the time for defeating the enemy. This is the time for transfer.



All that seems to be happening now is the regular murder of civilians, both Israeli and Americans, and their defense. Personally, I've always thought that the best defense is a good offense. There is no such thing as a political situation, just like the US didn't go in to Afghanistan and negotiate with bin Laden. The Palestinian murderers in Israel couldn't even comprehend that anyway. They have to be neutralized and moved out. Period. Until those barbarians know that the response to their terror is quick and overwhelming, Israel will be forced to remain the deer in the headlights. I'm tired of hearing about peace. You can't have peace with the animals of Hamas. These monsters have a terror mentality that unfortunately represents the bulk of the people living in the region. I don't want to hear commentators speak the line: ?Of course the Israelis have a right to defend themselves, but??



For years, I've been writing about the psychology behind land for peace. There is no such thing as land for peace; there is maybe piece for pieces, if they continue to chop the Jewish State like salami. Nor does it help when Bush is filmed saying, ?The Israeli occupation that began in 1967 will be ended with Israeli withdrawal to secure and recognized borders.? Which makes me wonder. Does that mean that the hundreds of thousands of Jews that are living there, will have to pack up and move out of their ancestral land? So, if no one sees a problem with moving out all the Jews that are living there, then is it okay to move all the Arabs from Israel proper into these new Arab lands, which would be devoid of Jews? While the world becomes hysterical over the 'illegal settlements ', there are over 244 Muslim settlements, which are 100 more than the publicized Israeli ones. They are on Jewish land which has been taken over by Arabs, some of whom have been trucked in from Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and other third world countries. Meanwhile, they give interviews on CNN about ?Palestinian heritage.?



Yeah right. Tell us more lies.
