Left-Wing And Int'l Elements: Withdrawal From Gaza Not Enough
"As Israel wrestles with the question of how much, if any, of Gaza to withdraw from, the Jordanian government said this week that Israel must withdraw from all of Gaza - and then from Judea and Samaria?" (from Israel National News reporting, June 1, 2004)
People tend to talk "at" each other, not listen to each other. It can be very funny when comedians use it in their routines, but it's disastrous in diplomacy and security.
The latest farce is the "negotiations." The Israeli government is busy negotiating a "withdrawal", though they don't use that word, from Jewish communities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza. Depending upon which politician is speaking, it'll bring us either "peace" or "quiet" with the "Palestinians". At least until after the next elections. They hope.
And with which influential local Arabs are we negotiating? Shimon Peres? Yossi Beilin? Dalia Itzik? That's right! None of the Arabs are interested in what they see as "scraps". The Arabs are like hungry sharks who have already tasted our blood; they want the whole body. They're not going to be satisfied with Alei Sinai; they want Ramat Aviv.
Unfortunately, too many Israelis aren't listening to the Arabs, who haven't been shy about telling the truth. They will not stop until Israel is wiped off the map. Judea, Samaria and Gaza for them is stage one. When the Arabs talk about their "refugees" returning "home", they're talking about returning to the land of the kibbutzim, not the yishuvim. They never had homes in Shiloh, Nagohot, Kedumim nor Netzarim. They want the fancy houses of Rechavia and Talbia, not Psagot and Ariel. The "left-wing" and "our moderates" have been trying to distract them, but it won't work. It just makes them hungrier and more determined.
Each time an Israeli politician, whether "Left," "Right" or "Center," offers the Arabs some of Judea, Samaria and Gaza to devour, to terrorize, it just reinforces their belief that they can get all of Eretz Yisrael. Exactly like the famous story of King Solomon judging who's the true mother of the live baby, the world sees our politicians in power as shams. Anyone willing to give up some of his land doesn't deserve any of it.
These politicians are endangering our lives, our future, our country. If they don't have the strength, integrity and guts to be true leaders, let them leave their positions to people who are willing and able to serve us with all their might, "?b'chol l'vavcha, uv'chol nafshech, uv'chol me'odecha." ("?with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.")
"Shma Yisrael?" "Listen Israel?" Not only must we listen to G-d, but we must listen carefully to our enemies in order to survive. We can't successfully fight them if we don't know who they are and what they are planning. Things are not always as they appear; friends are not always friends, and "leaders" sometimes follow enemies.
We must listen and look carefully in all directions and follow what is right for us as Jews. No one will help us if we don't help ourselves. Whether it's George Bush, John Kerry, Tony Blair or the United Nations, they don't care if Israel survives. We have to make our decisions for ourselves.
"Shma Yisrael Adoshem Elokeinu Adoshem Echad."
"Listen Israel, Hashem is Our G-d, Hashem, the One and Only."
