ISLAMIST PARTY TO RULE IN
PALESTINE?
|
| THAT'S THE PEACE PLAN IN HIS HAMAS HAND |
Hamas Forms All-Hamas Government, Shutting Out President
and Other Parties
Hamas leaders in a March meeting in the Gaza Strip formed a cabinet without
consultation with or the approval of either the PLA or of President Mahmoud Abbas. Having decided not to submit the Hamas
draft platform for PLA or Fatah approval, the Islamist terror organization named Hamas members to all 24 ministerial
offices, including key posts to leaders of the Hamas military wing Ezz-e Din al-Qassem Brigades, instigators of numerous suicide
attacks on Israelis.
Hamas called for a new parliament to meet in Gaza later in March to approve the new administration, despite the fact that,
under the Palestinian constitution, only the President has the power to convene a parliament.
Thus, Hamas made clear that it intended to institute a new government without parliamentary or presidential ratification
and without inclusion of any other parties. Thus, the first actions of this Islamist group after winning a democratic
election were to write off democracy. A network of desert trails into Gaza connects it to al-Qaeda.
On Wednesday January 25, 2005, Hamas ended the 40-year domination of Palestinian politics by the
Fatah party of Yassir Arafat, according to results which gave Hamas 75 seats and Fatah 43 seats in the 132 seat Parliament.
The election of a group labeled “terrorist” confounded all opinion polls taken in the nation and created
a chaos of opinion in the Middle
East and around the world. The
only thing certain was that the Roadmap to Peace is in tatters.
Many are saying
that the Palestinian Authority built by Fatah no longer exists and Hamas cannot enter international diplomacy because
it is a terror organization. Many are remembering the National Socialist party, which won control of the German
parliament in 1933 after a free and democratic election. The Nazis did not run a democratic party and the German
leaders and people of the time also had a weak devotion to democracy: some were actively plotting to overthrow the democracy
but Adolph soon put an end to all plottings and all democracy. Then he began to train his people to love to sacrifice
their individualities and selves for the victory of the state ideology and a future of glory.

| NOTE THE PONTIFF OF GOD FINGER |
Hamas
leader Mahmoud Al-Zahar spoke for the victors in Gaza:
"We are
going to change every aspect, as regards the economy, industry, agriculture, as regards social aid, health, administration,
education."
"God
is great!" yelled children in green headbands.
Fatah
itself is left in discord, criticizing itself for even allowing the election and with many members planning armed resistance.
The Hamas charter calls for the destruction of Israel and its strict Islamist ideology bodes no good for the relative tolerance by the PLO for the expression
of religions, languages and sects other than Islam and Arabic.
The four secular, liberal,
leftist and independent lists won over 112,000 ballots, or about a tenth of the total.

HE HEILS SIDEWAYS!
- At a rally in Tehran on October 26, 2005, Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced that Islamic
nations "will not let its historic enemy live in its heartland", adding: "Israel must be wiped off the map."
- The crowd of thousands (of students, representatives of Hamas and Islamic
Jihad, members of the Society for the Defense of the Palestinian Nation and most of the nation’s top officials) had
converged from nine points in the city to the rally, “The World Without Zionism.”
There they chanted “death to Israel," "death to Britain" and "death to America" and trampled on the flags of
those nations. Iran has never acknowledged Israel's right to exist.

A WAVE OF HOLY HATRED
“We are in the process of an historical war between the World of Arrogance
[i.e. the West] … Israel … is in fact a front of the World of Arrogance in the heart of the Islamic world ... a bridge for its dominance over the Islamic
world... the front line of the Islamic world against the World of Arrogance …
"Very soon, this stain of disgrace [i.e. Israel ] will vanish from the center of
the Islamic world –This will be a short period, and if we pass through it successfully, the process of the elimination
of the Zionist regime will be smooth and simple. We must understand the depth of the disgrace imposed on us by the enemy,
until our holy hatred expands continuously and
strikes like a wave.”
The Iranian Resistance has said that the coming to power of Ahmadinejad
was a de facto declaration of war on the international community which gives the Islamist government the right to obtain nuclear
weapons and to export Islamofascism and terrorism.
Mad Mahmoud's call for the destruction of Israel marks the first time since
the foundation of the United Nations in 1945 that a sitting head of a member state has ever publically called for the elimination
of another member state.
Sieg Heil!

The chant is accompanied by a physical gesture, in ritual common to cults, of the right hand raised in an

It became
known as the Hitler salute and was used openly and widely as a cult sign and ritual.

POLITICAL
INSTABILITY RISES IN EGYPT AS THE
ISLAMIST
MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD GAINS POPULARITY
In Egypt, a bulwark of regional
stability in the mid-east, the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood has gained much strength in recent years as the popularity of President
Mubarak continues to dwindle.
Ahead of the meeting at the Red Sea resort
of Sharm el-Sheikh of the World Economic Forum on Saturday, May 20, 2006,
the National Democratic Party (NDP) government of Hosni Mubarak has been struggling with some 7,000 judges and their supporters,
including the Muslim Brotherhood, who claim that recent elections were fixed and who call for completely independent judicial
oversight of elections in Egypt. The judges say they are only allowed to monitor polling places but not vote
counting, despite a 2000 ruling by the Constitutional
Court that all elections must be supervised
by judges.
President Mubarak, 78, has ruled the nation
for 25 years in a system that makes him virtual dictator and discussion of his successor is officially taboo in Egypt. The NDP has blocked the formation of independent opposition leaders and parties as Gamal Mubarak, 42, the president’s
son, has been moved forward as successor to his father. He was recently greeted by the U.S. President and high officials in
the White House during a “private visit.” The government has reauthorized
an emergency law as riot police attack multitudes of demonstrators.
In the December 2006 elections
the Muslim Brotherhood won 88 seats in the 454-member Parliament and became Egypt's preeminent political opposition party,
able to challenge government decisions and to promote its policies based on the fundamentalist al-Qaeda Islam of Saudi Wahhabism
in alliance with the Islamism of the Iranian Bearers of the Global Jihad. Following
the election, Mohammed Mahdi Akef, who calls himself the Supreme Guide to the Brotherhood, made a statement condemning America as a tool “in the hands of the sons of Zion” and declaring that the Holocaust was a myth. He also claimed the precedence
of Islam over all other religions.
EGYPI HOLDS A FIRST ELECTION, ALLOWS ISLAMIST GAINS BUT FREEZES OUT DEMOCRATS AND SECULARISTS.
Egypt’s completed its third of three parliamentary
elections on December 1, 2005. The first of the ballot castings on Wednesday, November 9, 2005 resulted in 80% of the seats of parliament going
to a second-ballot election. This second stage was held on Nov. 20.
The elections,
in addition to the record of police violence against voters (killing 12) at the polls, have led experts to
conclude that the Mubarak government arranged the elections to give the Islamists a greater role in legislation
while almost eliminating social democrats, thus offering the world either himself and his son as future leaders, or the Islamists.
The horse nearest the door or none at all, Mr. Hobson would say.
On Saturday, December 24, 2005 a kangaroo court convicted the prominent liberal opposition
leader Ayman Nour to five years at hard labor. Though everyone knew it was a show trial and the charges ridiculous, the charges
of forging signatures on petitions for the creation of his liberal democratic political party were upheld by the judges. The
court room and surrounding areas were packed with security agents and police as the brave political candidate was brought
in and locked in a small iron cell. Mr. Nour attracted the support of some 7% of the vote in the recent elections, making
democrats wonder how, with support like that, would he have to forge his own petitions.
The Merest Fickle Flicker from a
Beacon in Dogma-Darkness
The
United States funds this “Beacon of Democracy” Mubarak
regime to the tune of some $1.84 billion a year (scheduled for 2006), mostly as protection money for Israel and in fear of an Islamist takeover through religious
emotional appeals. Some $15 billion a year is spent by the U.S. for foreign aid in the world and Egypt is the second highest recipient, after Israel at over $9 billion.
Democracy
is anathema for Islamists, of course, as it was with the Nazis, and like them any electoral victory for the Islamists would
end in a very compelling reason to suspend democracy.
On Wednesday, 1,635 candidates from
82 constituencies in eight provinces competed for 164 seats. The formerly banned
Islamist movement known as the Muslim Brotherhood was allowed to compete and sent some 42 candidates to the run offs: it had
15 seats in the outgoing 455 seat parliament. President Hosni Mubarak's ruling National Democratic had 113 candidates in the
run-off. An alliance of 10 political entities called the Opposition Front sent five
of its 90 candidates to the run-offs. The National Democratic Party won some 24 seats and the Muslim Brotherhood took three.
On the eve of the election a court ruled that
the Muslim Brotherhood’s controversial campaign slogan,
“Islam is the
solution!”
did not violate Egypt’s constitution because
that hallowed document specifies that
Islam is the state religion.
The questions for the querent revolve around the inability of Egypt’s traditional political parties to compete, even
when united, against the "National Democrats" who have been in power since 1979. The questions thus posed are:
Can democracy even tentatively survive in a nation-state which has no separation
between religious institutions and state institutions?
Can a political party such as the Muslim Brotherhood, which believes
in collapsing any wall between religion and state, that is to say, is Wahhabi Islamist, actual participate openly in a democratic
parliament?
EGYPT SHOOTS DOWN DECLARATION FOR DEMOCRACY
Double bind for Autocrats?
On Saturday, November 12, 2005, at a meeting of Muslim nations in Manama, Bahrain, an Egyptian torpedo sank a U.S.-sponsored declaration in support of democracy. Egypt’s insisted that the declaration include the words "legally registered" to define groups should be aided by
the proposed new Foundation for the Future (for support of democratic groups) and the Fund for the Future (for entrepreneurial
endeavors.) American promotors of the scheme were surprised and aghast at the outcome, noting that over $400 million annually
of U.S. aid to Egypt even now goes to groups in Egypt that do not have government approval. i.e., to people who are not "legally
registered."
The proposed programs stem from the American President’s
2005 inaugural address and call for a sweeping democratization in autocratic nations. The administration has pressed for application
of Middle East aid funds toward training, subsidies and logistics support for groups that support change in their societies.
The effort is focused through the administration's Broader Middle East and North Africa initiative, which was established
in a meeting of the major industrial democracies in the ultra-secure, luxurious and privately-owned Atlantic Ocean resort
at Sea Island, Ga., in mid-2004.
The Middle East Partnership Initiative committed some $300
million in aid in recent years to such pro-change groups in the Middle
East. Now, the new Foundation for the Future and the Fund
for the Future is proposed, supported by a grant of some $85 million from the ME Partnership.
It is said the new organization will serve to disguise
American participation from the many Arabs who are said to be entertained by anti-American sentiments. Indeed, Egypt’s move is seen by some to be a reflection of Arabic rejection of democracy and the fear they feel, rather
than inspiration, by the violence witnessed in Iraq’s transition to
democracy. Also, Arab leaders are supposed to be alarmed at the effects of U.S. aid for independent
groups in Russia and Ukraine, which may have contributed to uprisings.
Egypt, representing more than half the population of the Arab world, is a leader in the
world of Qur’an and in the forefront of championship for efforts to solve the Israel-Palestine issue. The nation receives
from the U.S. nearly $2 billion a year in military and economic aid. This makes Egypt one of the largest recipients of U.S. foreign aid, having received some $50 billion since 1975. This aid assumes peace
between Egypt and Israel, an open Suez Canal, and that Egypt not fall under Islamist
rule. The nation is thought to be in a phase of irritation, perhaps double-bind, brought about by U.S.
demands for greater openness in its political process.
Egypt’s objections came at the last moment and its representative, the Egyptian foreign
minister, rushed from the conference before the final photograph. The draft was to be brought up again at the 2006 meeting
in Amman, Jordan.
At the Sea Island
conference, The U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said that the establishment of the foundations,
in negotiations for some 18 months,
"… will provide grants to help
civil society
strengthen the rule of law,
to protect basic civil liberties and
ensure greater opportunity for health
and education."
JIHAD in the STREETS of the CITY of
ALEXANDRIA
Crystal Night
On the Monday night of October 21. 2005, congregations of thousands of Muslims mob-attacked
St. George's and seven other Coptic Christian churches in two neighborhoods in Alexandria, Egypt, ancient Greco-Judeo capitol
of the arts, sciences and the Mysteries of Osiris. Hundreds of riot police faced off the protesters as protectors but nearby
businesses were destroyed and the church’s windows were left laying shattered and in shards on the ground, glistening
in the night lights.
Small radical mosques insinuate the nation
Copts, the largest Christian minority in the Middle East, constitute some 10 percent of Egypt's nearly 74 million people and they once coexisted peacefully with the country's Muslims, until Islamists
gained power in the 1970s and President Sadat proclaimed Islam as the state religion. Since then, Copts have experienced loss
of political power and discrimination in hiring and obtaining high posts, and by police. Divisions have increasingly deepened
in the neighborhoods as unmonitored small Islamist mosques identifying Christians as “apostates” have insinuated
across Egypt. Now both sides openly throw curses at each other, over the Internet and satellite stations.
Riots managed by electronics
The Internet was a catalyst for the attack on St. Georges and the Copts as word spread
among the Islamists about a play to be performed at the church about a Christian who converted to Islam and then had become
disillusioned with the religion. The play had performed without incident two years previously but this time, clips of the
play were posted on the Internet and cyber chatter circulated the call for all “faithful Muslims” to gather after
Friday prayers in front of St. Georges for a protest. And then happened the predictable behavior of jihadist mobs, spurred
on by their "clergy" but graciously hindered by the police.
A Christian satellite channel originating from Cyprus, Al-Hayat, is a favorite
with Egyptian Copts with its many shows denouncing and maligning Islam.

| This Sword Is Not For Fencing |
Saudi
Arabia has (2005) slightly improved its civil-liberties status.
Now it ranks marginally better than countries such as Syria,
North Korea and Cuba.
Its equals, in terms of political rights and civil liberties, are the dictatorships of Belarus
and Zimbabwe.
Freedom House
A July 2006 U.S. State Department report, while praising Saudi Arabia for making
progress in removing bigoted* references to religious minorities in school text books, placed
Saudi Arabia among the nations of Burma, China, Eritrea, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Vietnam as nations of "particular concern"
for their failure to safeguard religious freedom. "Freedom of religion does not exist" in Saudi Arabia, the report said. "Islam is the official religion and
all citizens must be Muslims."

| TEACHER FLOGGED |
ALLAHU AKBAR! The love of the Saudi god; whipping a teacher’s
back into bloody ribbons before a crowd for blasphemy.
After a six-hour
trial, a court in Bukairia, north of Riyadh, sentenced a high school teacher, Mohammed Salamah Al Harbi from Qassim Province,
to 40 months in prison and 750 lashes for “mocking religion.” Prosecutors acted after complaints by students and
al-Harbi's fellow teachers who charged him with defending Jews and the Bible, ridiculing Islam, and witchcraft.
While dealing
with aspects of Muslim terrorism, Al-Harbi had encouraged his students to engage in critical thinking to resolve apparent
differences of meaning between the text of the Qur’an and the words and deeds of the Prophet (Sunna). For his classroom
work, al-Harbi was charged for being an "apostate" who tried to "sow doubt in a student's creed."
New York-based
Human Rights Watch said al-Harbi had been "talking to his pupils about … a
number of current topics, such as Christianity, Judaism and the causes of terrorism … The Saudi government is imprisoning
schoolteachers for having open discussions with their students.” Associated Press, DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, November 17, 2005.
Saudi Arabia
once had a large Christian population, as well as Judaic and other “faiths,” but the arrival of Islam in the 7th
Century changed the face of the country entirely. Today, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is less than 5% Christian, and most of these are ex-patriots. In fact, Saudi law provides that all citizens must
be Muslims. The practice of any non-Muslim religion in Saudi Arabia is prohibited,
as is the owning, printing, or distributing of any non-Muslim religious material.
The brutal
Muttawa or religious police (officially known as "The Committee to Prevent Vice and Promote Virtue") are employed to enforce adherence to Islamic norms. Most trials
are closed, with defendants having little or no access to legal counsel. Judges may legally discount the testimony of non-Muslims.
Public punishments include floggings and beheadings.
Bombs Blast
in THE
City of the Hashemite Throne
November 10, 2005, Thursday ..... As the Jordanian flags were set at half-staff
and black flags flew around closed shops, Thursday was a day of mourning and defiance for the king’s subjects after
the nation was hit by its worst ever terrorist attack. Wednesday’s bombings of three large international hotels in the
capitol Amman by Islamikazis with bomb belts killed over 56 innocent beings of the light and left some 100 with physical wounds,
including members of a wedding party. Psychological wounds were countless. Pieces of the three murders’ bodies were
gathered for DNA analysis.
Previous al-Qaeda operations
in Jordon include the assassination of Laurence Foley, an American diplomat, in Amman in 2002, and an aborted attack in April
2004 on the Jordanian intelligence headquarters.
Jordan is a constitutional monarchy under King Abdullah II, a member of the Arabic-language
royal Hashemite Dynasty, who serves as the nation’s political and military chief. The King’s appointed cabinet
and prime minister are responsible to a bicameral parliament including a Senate, who’s 40 members are appointed by the
King, and a House of Representatives of 110 members popularly-elected to four-year terms. In the June, 2003 elections for
the House, the king’s supporters attained a majority: Islamists won 18 seats. There are 12 administrative governorates
(muhafazah).
The nation has prospered from a spike in trade since the 1991 invasion of Iraq
despite the loss of petroleum subsidies from Saddam Hussein. Because of the dangers of Baghdad, many international organizations
and NGO’s have located their base Iraqi operations in Amman, making it Iraq’s effective “offshore capitol.”
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi’s jihadist entity,
“Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia,” posted an Internet message claiming responsibility for the bombings.
Having rushed back from Kazakhstan, King Abdullah II declared in a televised address on Thursday, “We will
pursue those criminals and those who are behind them, and we will reach them wherever they are … We will confront these
cowardly terrorist groups that have no religion or conscience.”
At his meeting with Yeman’s president
in Washington the American president declared that those who attacked innocents in Jordan had defiled Islam. In the towns and cities of Jordon’s
six million people there was an outpouring of outrage from the people demonstrating in the streets. They reacted as home-folk
whose national sense of stability and honor had been shattered with deathly explosives — by fellow religionists treating
them as enemies.
These fellow religionists are at war with infidels in the name of god’s only authorized religion.
Well, that’s what they say. That’s what is really outrageous!
DEMOCRATIC PROCESS in JORDAN BLOCKED by the
FEARED MUKHABARAT SECRET POLICE
Any further progress in this nation toward democracy will follow
the curbing, somehow, in Jordan of the secret police (mukhabarat). This is so in all of the Arab nations and in Iran. This police institution in
various models has become a monolithic enforcer in the Middle
East whose mission is to insure military leaders and monarchs
the means to stifle and crush democratic processes as well as to bump off anyone they don’t like or strangle confessions
from their enemies. This model has distorted the democratic police ideal with a fascist effectiveness which can operate ubiquitously
with fear in a “climate of impunity.”
In the years following the end of WWII, Middle East lords
of power, monarchs and men of the cloth have used secret police to achieve near totalitarian power over their subjects' minds
and bodies by the applications of FEAR, and these police have become a law unto themselves. The regions most liberal government
is in Jordan but even there the mukhabarat spies on its people with a vast electronic surveilance system, eavesdrops, thousands
of employees, underground cells in underground labyrinths, etc. This covert and intrusive structure is very similar indeed
to the old Nazi and Soviet police apparatuses of vast investigative and punitive powers, as a matter of course abusing detainees
physically and verbally leading to torture and often death.
But its king is “our guy” and anyway, what are you
going to do? Everybody around here does it! All of the Arabs! The pesky Persians! Egyptians and Turks! They skinned live heads
in Afganistan! And Saudi Arabia is dreadful! In addition, a lot of people can appreciate an overbearing police when there
are all those Islamikazis wandering about, all wired up with eruptives. And how easy is it to replace the police anyway! Anywhere?
Especially when you know that whoever you replace them with will be also hostile and violent.
These are again the legendary bands
of mafia-style gangsters who reform themselves again and again
out of poverty,
again and again born in
space and time
to challenge the dedicated champions of liberty.
History is but the story of the defeats of gangsters.
Defeat by better gangs it may be, by the cavalry perhaps, yet –
gangs nevertheless. Gangs will come, perhaps, who will respect the inalienable rights of citizens. Men will always organize
in packs but those packs which inculcate democratic respect are the gangs to be nourished for the future as guardians
of the peace and embodiments of justice, twin aspects of democracy.
Monkey says: I think that organizations of good police troops
are like rainforests: once you've lost them you can never get them back.
the Kingdom of Kuwait
A LONG-LOCKED DOOR OPENS IN ARABIA
In a surprise amendment to Kuwait’s
election law on May 16, 2005 the Kuwaiti Parliament in a 35-23 vote granted full political rights to women for the first time
in the nation’s history.
A special “order for urgency”
was invoked at the insistence of the prime minister, Sheik Sabah al-Jaber al-Sabah, a member of Kuwait's ruling family. The
order served to push the legislation through despite Islamist obstructionist tactics; the Islamists did win a requirement
that females "abide by Islamic law," perhaps meaning separate polling places for men and women.
The prime minister is expected to appoint a female minister of health soon but the
earliest women will be able to participate in an election will be in the next parliamentary elections scheduled in 2007. The
new suffrage is expected to transform the Persian Gulf city-state. New York Times

"It is time for you [Israelis] to be gone. Live wherever you like, but don't live among us. It is time for you to be

So leave our country, our land, our sea, our wheat, our salt, our wounds. Everything. And leave the memories." PA TV program on Jaffa (Tel Aviv):
These
words of hate are the parting moments of yet another program on Palestinian Authority television calling for the destruction
of Israel. The words, calling for the expulsion of every last Israeli from Israel, are spoken while the
screen is showing Jaffa-Tel Aviv, Israelis and Israeli flags. Official PA TV has aired this twice in recent months (final
months of 2005).

A poll by'Fafo', a Norwegian-based NGO, seems to confirm the continuing effects of the PA's
profoundly negative religious-hate education of children. These educationally-indoctrinated religious fears
and dogmas are the major determinative of attitudes and policy in Palestine, overshadowing concerns for statehood,
better living standards or even personal survival.

Bethlehem and Nazareth, historic Christian towns for nearly two millennia, are now primarily Muslim. Christians today make up less than 15 percent of the population.

Re: increased attacks by Muslims on
Christian-owned property in recent months.
“… some Christians
are no longer afraid to talk about the ultra-sensitive issue. And they are talking openly about leaving the city. . According
to the families, many Christians have long been afraid to complain in public about the campaign of "intimidation" for fear
of retaliation by their Muslim neighbors and being branded "collaborators" with Israel.
"The situation is very
dangerous," said Samir Qumsiyeh, owner of the Beit Sahur-based private Shepherd TV station. "I believe that 15 years from
now there will be no Christians left in Bethlehem. Then you will need a torch to find a Christian here. This is a very sad situation."
Qumsiyeh, one of the few Christians willing to speak about the harsh conditions of their community, has been the subject of
numerous death threats. His house was recently attacked with fire-bombs, but no one was hurt. Qumsiyeh said he has documented
more than 160 incidents of attacks on Christians in the area in recent years. He said a monk was recently roughed up for trying
to prevent a group of Muslim men from seizing lands owned by Christians in Beit Sahur. Thieves have targeted the homes of
many Christian families and a "land mafia" has succeeded in laying its hands on vast areas of land belonging to Christians,
he added.” from Daniel Pipes Mail List: May 27, 07, PETmin Readers’ Digest

Mudayris, PA TV, May 13, 2005]
TERRORIST TAKEOVER OR AN
ARMED PALESTINE?
What's the difference?
Instead
of dying down, violence has been building up as missile, mortar, rocket and shooting attacks on Israeli targets in and
around the Gaza Strip. It's a shaky truce following Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip as Islamist extremists
threaten and brag of the many missiles now pointed at Israel.
In the January 2005 post-Arafat election, Mahmoud Abbas, who now seems to espouse
peace with Israel, was elected President of Palestinian Authority. The
long dictatorial corruption and the nurturing of terrorism and violence as a matter of governmental policy under the Arafat
regime resulted in general anarchy and state of crisis in almost all of this proto-state as armed gangs of unknown identity
continue to challenge established authority and security forces, applying strong-arm tactics against the hapless population. Weapons possession has become socially legitimized in Palestinian society and Jericho is said to be the only Palestinian city with a functioning
police.
As
he visited Washington on October 20, 2005 for talks with President Bush and secretary of state Rice, President Abbas held only a let’s-pretend authority
over the anarchy in his nation. Washington and Israel continue to play along
with the pretense, continuing to support him with financial and political favors together with political-intelligence assistance
and propaganda, even as al-Qaeda and assorted imported Islamists thugs take root in his nation without any pretenses about
their presence there. (See War of Ideas, al-Qaeda establishes bases in Gaza through open door from Egypt as Israel pulls out.)
Abbas
uses the growing chaos to avoid responsibility and as opportunities to beg more aid from western nations, even as he continues
to claim that Israeli concessions are necessary to keep him afloat while nursing the delusion that his terrorists can be absorbed
in a legitimate armed force. The appeasement by the Palestinian Authority of the multitude of armed groups which prey on each
other and on the people is seen by most observers as prelude to another catastrophe rapidly approaching for the Middle East.
Thus, Palestine joins other Islamic states, including Somalia, Sudan, Lebanon,
Iraq, and Afghanistan, perhaps even Saudi Arabia and the Gulf monarchies, in the continuing general slide toward lawlessness
and hellish living for the populations, a condition that is called anarchy. If
there is a bright side it is that after the death of Arafat Palestinian intellectuals and politicians are said to have begun
to look past the usual external scapegoats to admit that the sources of their problems are to be found in themselves and in
their archaic ideology, an ideology which continues to be supported by internal Islamist terror armies sponsored from
Saudi Arabia and Iran.
The Palestinian president
experienced a near rebuff at his meeting in Washington on October
20, although he came with his usual list of needs and complaints. The U.S. president made clear in no uncertain terms that
the roadmap for peace must be followed but that it remained inactive, on paper only, since a regime dominated by “armed
gangs” can never be accepted as a state-candidate for democracy. The only thing promised by the U.S. was weapons and
ammunition for the Palestinian security forces, but only in the future when it could be determined that these forces no longer
harbored terrorists.
A state? If you harbor terrorists, forget
about it! The Americans made clear the two necessities
for the achievement of statehood:
1) The Palestinian
state must be clean of terrorists (i.e. Islamists); 2) must live in peace with Israel and be capable of being a good neighbor. Whether or not statehood is achieved or not is squarely up
to the Palestinians.

of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), together with its associated Al-Aqsa Brigade and other bands, militant
congregations include:
HAMAS
(Islamic Resistance Movement), an outgrowth of the Egyptian-Sunni "Muslim Brotherhood," receiving funding from Palestinian
expatriates, Iran, and private benefactors in Saudi Arabia and other "moderate!" Arab states. And
HEZBALLAH a.k.a
Hizb-Allah, Hezb Allah, Hizbullah (the Party of Allah), a
Shi’ite organization formed in Lebanon and closely allied with the Islamic Republic of Iran, which often takes
orders directly from Iran. Hezballah, one of the world’s largest and most
dangerous terrorist congregations, also has cells in most Islamic countries, especially in Syria, and many in Europe,
in the Americs and around the world.
In the denomination
of these "holy," terrorist congregations, numerous other, smaller militant clusters have formed in Palestine over the years,
including the Arabian-Sunni al-Qaeda, most certainly operating in the country. These
Islamist organizations all rule by fear and are more inbred, secretive, and vindictive than the Mafia: similarly, they use
charities to provide a patina of exalted benevolence, political patronage and control. The uniting ideology is: Israel is
Islamic territory ("Israel is no more than an alien entity to the Arab world") and the native Muslim population is to be coerced
to fight to the death or victory. "Israel is considered an enemy to both the Arab and the Muslim nations. It is not
an organ of the Arab body and it never will be."
Without condemnation from Saudi
Arabia,
self-proclaimed “Vatican” of world Islam,
how can Islamikazi suicide bombers ever be discouraged?
On Friday night, February 25,2005, a suicide bomber slipped through the Israeli security net and blew
up in a crowd of celebrants waiting to go into The Stage nightclub on Tel Aviv’s beachfront. Numerous other attempts
by bomb-strapped infiltrators of Palestine’s many Islamikazi groups have been thwarted in the recent months of negotiations
between Israel and Palestine.
Thus the dark days of Palestinian terror were extended in Israel, a reminder that the apparent lull of
three-and-a- half months was but a wistful fantasy. Tel Aviv and central Israel went on an elevated terror alert but the Israeli
government signaled that even more leeway would be granted the Abbas government, withholding any drastic military action and
continuing the “exchanges” with the Palestinians.
In accordance with the “peace,” Israel’s counter-terror operations were drastically
pared back and plans for evacuation of Israeli settlements in Gaza were implemented, despite widespread resistance in Israel.
There is also much internal opposition to the “premature” disengagement plan and lowering of Israel’s counter-terror
guard.
Most of the Palestinian terrorist groups denied responsibility, blaming Hizballah, while Mahmoud Abbas’s
government vowed to find and prosecute the perpetrators. Several suspects were
arrested and perfunctorily released, indicating perhaps that the Palestinians are still unable to identify those in their
ranks who are or are not terrorists. Abbas has not so far raised a finger to
dismantle any of terrorist groups being, of course, politically powerless to do so. Instead, the Abbas government has solicited
aid from the international community in the form of combat equipment “to restore and build up Palestinian security forces
with all possible speed.”
The new Palestinian army is intended to absorb the membership of disassembled Palestinian terrorist organizations
and the military equipment sought from other world governments would be delivered through the reopened Gaza port or through
the Sinai into Gaza, with no Israeli interference. If this ploy is successful,
the Palestinians would for the first time be equipped with heavy arms. At the
present it is a mystery to some why such an army is relevant for a Palestinian state dedicated by international treaty to
live in peace with Israel.
In Memorium
On September 9, 2005 the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office noted the
completion of five years of the Palestinian infitada. During this period of warfare, 26,159 attacks were perpetrated against
Israeli targets, in which 1,060 Israelis were killed and 6,089 were wounded. The statistics average out to 5, 232 attacks
per year, or 14.33 attacks a day - for five years!
