Since Israel's withdrawal from Gaza nearly a year ago, Gaza has become a launching pad for various Arab terror groups. Over 1,000 rockets and an uncountable number of mortar shells were fired toward Israel. Last month's attack on the security post and the kidnapping of an Israeli soldier by Hamas was the last straw.



If anyone thinks that all of this has been just a collection of random acts of terror, then they are mistaken.



The coordinated war against Israel was being waged even before the inception of the Jewish state. It has been carried out on the fields of battle and in the corridors of the United Nations (and the League of Nations). It is a well-coordinated effort, greased by oil and anti-Semitism.



Immediately after the military escalation in Gaza, Hizbullah was prepared for military operations, with well-planned attacks on Israeli border patrols and the firing of hundreds of long-range rockets. At the same time, the diplomatic war was activated, as well. It did not take long for Qatar to prepare and table an anti-Israel resolution in the United Nations Security Council. The US employed its veto power, but, contrary to the beliefs of many, US support for Israel will not last long. US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has already urged Israel to exercise restraint, as has President George Bush.



Arab neighbours have forced Israel to fight many wars against them. Many years ago, the late president of Egypt, Anwar Sadat, said, "We only need to win one war!" Fortunately for Jews, Israel has won each of them, so far. Every time Israel was about to end the conflict by decisive victory over her Arab enemies, however, the international community, including the USA, stepped in and denied Jews the victory by threat of military, economic and political actions against Israel.



Now, the Lebanese government is responsible for Hizbullah's hostility against Israel. Since Israel left Lebanon in 2000, Lebanon disarmed all militias but Hizbullah. The Lebanese army was not deployed in southern Lebanon and, for years, the Hizbullah organization was given complete freedom of action.



At the same time, the Olmert government, as led by some of the executioners of the Disengagement Plan, is completely responsible for the escalation of Arab terror from Gaza. It is a well-known fact that for Arab Palestinians, nothing is going to be enough, even if Israel gives it all up: Judea, Samaria, Gaza and Jerusalem. But gutless, self-hating and corrupt Israeli politicians chose to ignore this fact.



For how long do Jews have to tolerate the stupidity of their own governments, the duplicity and blatant anti-Semitism of the International community and the openly expressed intentions of Arab countries to destroy Israel? The time has come to use the military advantage Israel has at the moment to crush our enemies, once and for all. Otherwise, with the rising oil crisis and the world's oil dependency, as well as the possible development of the "Islamic WMD", it will be too late.



Israel must regain full control over Jewish land and remove terror-infested, hostile populations from Eretz Israel. Israel must not miss this opportunity. We must act now.
