Many shocking plans are afoot in world diplomatic circles, plans that seem to require sad duties of the world's foremost spokespeople for freedom and tolerance.



One notes with concern the plan to expel the Jewish Israelis living in various regions of their small nation, beginning with those in Samaria (Shomron) and the Gaza regions. This initiative, fervently supported by the American State Department, the foreign ministries of Western Europe, Russia, by the European Union and, of course, by the Islamic world means the ethnic cleansing of Jews from their ancient homeland. This certainly looks like a religious hate crime of the worst magnitude. This requires prosecution of those responsible, does it not?



Moreover, the same large group of nations and diplomats that demand this forced expulsion of Jews from Israel is loud in acclaiming as leader of the Arabs living west of the Jordan Abu Mazen (a.k.a. Mahmoud Abbas), although this individual wrote a 'doctoral thesis' effectively denying the Holocaust and has organized many homicidal attacks on Jewish civilians, including schoolchildren. Thus, support for the "Road Map", sponsored initially by the house of Saud ("The Saudis are our friends," insisted Mr. George Bush in June 2003), involves alliance with terrorists with almost four decades of experience in murdering civilians.



This puts all these backers, including our beloved American government, on the wrong side of the "war on terror". It appears that America's government is setting America against itself. Is it becoming an enemy to its own people, to freedom?



One interesting sidelight to the war for freedom and against terror is that pressure from the executive branch of America's government has perverted Israel's imperfect but vibrant democracy into a dictatorship, with Mr. Bush's friend, Ariel Sharon, ruling autocratically in order to expel Jews, per order of the 'world community'. As prime minister from the Likud party, in Israel's parliamentary system, Mr. Sharon properly is first among equals, obligated to carry out the party platform and accede to the agenda of the majority of his party, or else resign. Yet, pursuant to the agenda of foreign powers, he has ignored the expressed electoral will of the membership of his party, of his party's members of parliament and of his party platform, including the platform on which he won election early in 2003. The principle pledge of that campaign was that Mr. Sharon would not expel or remove Jews from their homes. But, emboldened or cowed by his international chit holders and assorted legal difficulties, the prime minister has been ruling like a dictator, firing those who oppose his repudiation of his party's own platform, his ostensibly limited powers and his apparent mutation into an enemy of the Jewish people.



Let's sum up: America's executive branch has empowered a Holocaust denier and terrorist as leader of a non-nation, the Palestinians. The White House demands driving Jews out of Israel to give this terrorist and his supporters a "state" that will continue to export murder and terror, indeed, surely will do so in increased and more deadly fashion. Moreover, this 'state-to-be' has shown itself to be dominated by Hamas, which already is on the list of terrorist groups with which America is ostensibly at war. This is similar to the situation in Lebanon, effectively ruled by Syria and Iran's proxy, Hizbullah, and populated by people from the British- and French-created terror-state of "Syria". The partial withdrawal of the Syrian army from the Lebanon seems meant mainly as an appetizer that will be said to 'justify' forcing Jews to evacuate the central part of their ancient homeland, Judea and Samaria.



It thus appears to be the sad duty of the American secretary of defense to call in air strikes and ground assault on the capitals of Europe, their allies in "Eurabia", and on the State Department and White House itself in order not to defy and transgress the terms of the president's "war on terror" and on "terror-supporting states", as he defined it more than three years ago. This indeed would be a turn-about worthy of Purim. Apparently, when he said, "You can run but you can't hide," he actually meant that murderers of Jews in Israel can't run fast enough to avoid receiving monthly pensions paid for by American tax-payers, and to receive their own terror state, too.



Or perhaps all this vicious madness about once again expelling Jews from their ancient homeland has been a nightmare many people in the world have been having, perhaps the after-effects of too much Hollywood, Marxism, Judenhaas and decadent culture generally. Perhaps, we soon will wake up and find ourselves part of a Purim spiel in which Dubya becomes an Achashverosh that listens to 'Esther' - say, a great rebbetzin - listens to a 'Mordechai' and allows, nay, commands, with a letter signed in the king's own name that the Jews in Israel arise and take vengeance upon all the peoples of all the nations gathered to destroy them. Then there will be "feast and gladness, light, joy and honor."



Yes, let's wake up to that reality and avoid the incongruities of all those "sad duties" mentioned above.
