Vested interests play their games in the Middle East. They tilt the balance up and down, depending upon what suits them at the time. Yesterday it was territory, then access to waterways, then oil. Their warships sit in Arabian and Mediterranean seas far away from home; their money pours in funding arms to try to kill us.


Countries with no obvious connections to the area provide parts and know-how in an attempt to kill millions. Of

The enemies of Israel are playing a game that is tribal in nature.

Jews of course. The enemy plays the rules of war and terrorism based upon hatred, the brainwashing of a generation of children, and lies, in an attempt to build a nation that does not exist. They remain a collective of people who are being used as pawns by their own Arab brothers.


The West refers to the textbooks of conflict resolution taught in their universities. What they didn't learn is that the enemies of Israel are playing a game that is tribal in nature, that Western mentality does not understand.


As the products of Harvard proudly negotiate their way through, they honestly believe in the success of their game. Of course "yes" means "no", but when you don't grow up in the desert how on Earth could you know that? The answer "yes" to a ceasefire can mean, "Give us time to re-group, to re-arm, to access more funding, to train another lot of plainclothes soldiers." It also means, "Who are you to tell us what to do?" Or, "Stupid Americans, how much will you deposit in my bank account if I say yes?"


The political negotiators are mentally and emotionally out of their territory. Incentives and bribery will be accepted, then the double-cross. The name of the game is to play for time, take the money and run, smile for the cameras, then give the truth to their people in their language. In reality, though, they are double-crossing their own kind.


The taxes of the good citizens of the European Union and others help fund the war against Israel. Hamas howls and threatens, boasting of having 20,000 prospective suicide bombers. Does Israel have a chance of fending off the second attempt in a hundred years to annihilate the Jews?


Mistakes have been made by leaders in Israel, and will continue, but the enemy has made a huge fatal mistake. The composition of the Jewish State is very different from that which the outside world believes it to be, and as portrayed in the press. It is different from the copycat of a book-type democracy that many would want Israel to be. The majority of Israel's newspapers do not reflect the demographics of Israel. The media's agenda is mainly controlled by the few secular leftists privileged to be in key positions in politics, government, the press - but not the army. This will be the last generation to be in these positions of power. They are now a minority group, being overtaken by Middle Israel.


Middle Israel is a different story. The majority of Israelis are now of Sephardi backgrounds, due to their high birthrate; their parents and grandparents having grown up with Arabs. Their socioeconomic status has risen to the stage where they have equal participation, but not majority leadership, in the economy and politics. The army is the exception, where leadership is now held by a broad representation of Israelis.


Middle Israel understands how to deal with the Middle Eastern mentality. The enemy values death over life. It takes a lot of courage for a whole country to send their youth to the army when life, not death, is paramount, but when the very existence of Israel is at stake, it is done, no questions asked.


This dedication is not only because we have our backs to the wall, but we have an absolute belief, transmitted to our children throughout the generations that Israel is the Jews' ancient home, given by G-d. Whoever comes to try to destroy Israel is

the personification of evil. Listen to our language and our daily prayers. The Sephardi rabbis have no hesitation in reinforcing this, making emphatic public statements of faith, damning those who want evil for Israel.


It has been years since the world saw the real power of the Israeli army. Now, the enemy is being treated with kid gloves; great care taken for civilians who allow an army in plain clothes to operate from within their houses, their schools and their mosques.


This terrorist army is also working under false assumptions. The Israeli military are not American soldiers transposed to fight in a foreign land such as Vietnam: these are soldiers who have their families within sight of the battlefield, their parents, their little brothers and sisters, and their whole lives. Terrorism might have worked in other countries, but it will not lead to any sort of victory against Israel.


Gabi Ashkenazi, the Israel Defense Force Chief of Staff, said at the site of the Auschwitz concentration camp: "We've learned our lesson, to take seriously the threats made by world leaders calling for the destruction of Israel. We will continue to fight, out of a sense of responsibility to exist as a people in this country. We will not be deterred by any danger."


Every single Israeli visits the Holocaust Museum. Each one is painfully aware that the world did not try to save the Jews then, just as it barely makes an effort to save victims of genocide going on now.


The heyday of oil will eventually run its course. The strategic value of Arab nations to their present trading partners will diminish. It may be in the interests of these countries to open up Gaza rather than keeping it as a pressure cooker, where its leaders will send anyone, but never ever their own sons, to blow themselves up. Its population should disperse back into the huge tracts of Arab lands where they originally came from, giving up sacrificing their youth to the god Moloch in their suicide ventures.


What is being fed to the people of Gaza is untrue. There will be no green land waiting for them to conquer; there

will be no capitulation of the Jews. They will live their lives out in misery as their leaders feed them lies and hatred. The Land of Israel is not their land and will never be theirs. Their financial backers are wasting their time and their money.


Sixty years after the establishment of the State of Israel there is a determined, living nation of Jews capable of fighting back. It has yet to use its military resources, which could establish a crystal-clear victory to secure its borders and settle conflicts once and for all.


Our nation will not go away. The deep-rooted spirit of the Jews and our attachment to the Holy Land is stronger than all of the efforts to destroy the only country that God has given us.
