In a new poll, run by “Arab World for Research & Development“, of 1200 Arabs living in Judea, Samaria and Gaza, 87.7% answered that Hamas’s “armed struggle” is the best means for achieving Palestinian independence.
The results of the recent Gaza conflict prove that armed struggle, as adopted by Hamas, is the best means of achieving Palestinian independence:
Strongly agree 55.6%In other words, something very close to 90 percent of Arabs living in Gaza and the territories still believe that it's open season on Jews. And why shouldn't they when the UN and the western governments and the international left continually give us reasons why Arabs, particularly of the Palestinian variety, have every right to try to murder Jews in the Middle East?
Agree 32.1%
Disagree 9.1%
Strongly disagree 1.2%
I don’t know 2.1%
After all, if, as they tell us, Israel is a fascist, apartheid, racist state, stealing land, water, and air from the natives, then it deserves whatever beating it gets and if Jews support this vile, rogue country then they deserve whatever beating they get. This is the inescapable implication of the progressive movement when it comes to their growing disdain for Jewish sovereignty on Jewish land.
As far as the international left goes, Jews were fine in the ovens, but it is decidedly uncool for Jews to prevent themselves, or their children, from going back into those ovens. Arab-Muslim theocrats can scream to the heavens about the righteous necessity of killing Jews in the name of Allah, but if Jews object too loudly then those Jews are "Islamophobes." And, worse yet, if those Jews dare to defend themselves then they are not only racist, but violent racist aggressors, to boot.
The only Jews that are really tolerated on the left are the most dhimmitudenous. If, as a Jew, you know your place and understand that Israel is guilty of crimes against the peaceful, "indigenous" population and, better yet, if you actively oppose "conservative" Jews with spines and spread hatred toward them, then you can operate on the progressive-left "as-a-Jew." In fact, although your comrades won't like it, you can even advocate, within certain narrow and self-enforced ideological constraints, for the state of Israel.
Otherwise, not so much.
Honour -shame society. It's more important to whip Israel's ass at some point to make up for all the defeats at Israel's hands than to make peace. I know I don't need to present ALL the bits of evidence for this here, where most posters know the info already. And it's not just a Palestinian thing...witness Hezbollah's talk about the divine victory after Israel almost sent them back to the stone age last time.
ReplyDeleteHere's an old article with a great explanation of the phenomena.

Even the Black Knight decided to at least call it a draw after a while...
DeleteWhen will the West accept that there is something so vile and alien about this political culture that it threatens everything? Not just Israel. Everything.
ReplyDeleteI fear it will be too late. Last time it was a close run thing. Has everyone already forgotten how close the Nazis came to wining? How much support they had in the West even after the West was finally forced into war?
How many chances does humankind expect?
A cousin in Israel sent me this this morning. Mike's last comment has prompted me to share it even though I expect you have seen it before.
ReplyDeleteDennis Miller on Israel
Dennis Miller is a comedian who has a show called Dennis Miller Live on HBO. Although he is not Jewish, he
recently had the following to say about the Middle East situation:
Here we go:
The Palestinians want their own country. There's just one thing about that: There are no Palestinians.
It's a made up word. Israel was called Palestine for two thousand years. Like 'Wiccan,' 'Palestinian' sounds ancient but is really a
modern invention. Before the Israelis won the land in the 1967 war, Gaza was Owned by Egypt , the West Bank was owned by Jordan , and
there were no Palestinians.'
As soon as the Jews took over and started growing oranges as big as basketballs, what do you know, say
hello to the 'Palestinians,’ weeping for their deep bond with their lost 'land' and 'nation.'
So for the sake of honesty, let's notuse the word 'Palestinian' any more to describe these delightful folks, who dance for joy at deaths until someone points out they're being taped. Instead, let's call them what they are:
'Other Arabs Who Can't Accomplish Anything In Life And Would Rather Wrap Themselves In
The Seductive Melodrama Of Eternal Struggle And Death. ' I know that's a bit unwieldy to expect to see on CNN. How about this, then:'Adjacent Jew-Haters .' Okay, so the Adjacent Jew-Haters want their own country.
Oops, just one more thing: No, they don't . They could've had their own country. Anytime in the last thirty years, especially several years ago at Camp David . But If you have your own country, you have to have traffic lights and garbage
ReplyDeletetrucks. And Chambers of Commerce, and, worse, you actually have to figure out some way to make a living.
That's no fun. No, they want what all the other Jew-Haters in the region want: Israel . They also want a big
pile of dead Jews, of course that's where the Real fun is -- but mostly they want Israel .
Why? For one thing, trying to destroy Israel - or 'The Zionist Entity' as their Textbooks call it -- for the last fifty years has allowed the rulers of Arab Countries to divert the attention of their own people away from the fact that they're the blue-ribbon most illiterate, poorest, and tribally backward on God's Earth, and if you've ever been around God's Earth, you know that's
really saying something.
It makes me roll my eyes every time one of our pundits waxes poetic about the great history and culture of
the Muslim Mid east. Unless I'm missing something, the Arabs haven't given anything to the world since Algebra, and, by the way, thanks a hell of a lot for that one.
Chew this around and spit it out: 500million Arabs; 5 Million Jews.
Think of all the Arab countries as a football field, and Israel as a pack of matches sitting in the middle of it. And now these same folks swear that if Israel gives them half of that pack of matches, everyone will be pals..
Really? Wow, what neat news. Hey, but what about the string of wars to obliterate the tiny country and the constant din of rabid blood oaths to drive very Jew into the sea? Oh, that? We were just kidding.
My friend, Kevin Rooney, made a gorgeous point the other day: Just reverse the Numbers. Imagine 500
million Jews and 5 million Arabs. I was stunned at the simple
brilliance of it. Can anyone picture the Jews strapping belts of razorblades and dynamite to themselves? Of course not.
Or marshaling every fiber and force at their disposal for generations to drive a tiny Arab State into the
sea? Nonsense.
Or dancing for joy at the murder of innocents? Impossible.
Or spreading and believing horrible lies about the Arabs baking their bread with the blood of children?
Disgusting.
No, as you know, left to themselves in a world of peace, the worst Jews would ever do to people is debate
them to death.
However, in any big-picture strategy, there's always a danger of losing moral weight. We've already lost
some. After September 11th our president told us and the world he was going to root out all terrorists and the countries that supported
them.
Beautiful. Then the Israelis, after months and months of having the equivalent of an Oklahoma City every
week (and then every day) start to do the same thing we did, and WE tell them to show restraint.
If America were being attacked with an Oklahoma City every day, we would all very shortly be screaming for
the administration to just be done with it and kill everything south of the Mediterranean and east of the Jordan .
This comment from the JPost slays me!

Let's really stick it to the Brits. Let's give British names to every one of our new housing developments (e.g., Covington Gardens, Balmoral Acres, Windsor Estates, Her Majesty's Jewish Condos, etc.)
:O)
