1. WHAT IF?=20
By Avi Davis - Jewsweek Magazine - January 24, 2003=20
For a few days in July 2000 then, Yasser Arafat rolled dice with =
history and lost.=20
The date is May 25, 2020. Along the Israel/Palestine border, =
established by the Crawford Treaty of September 2001, Israeli =
intelligence reports alarming developments. Border incursions by =
terrorists in Israeli urban areas have increased ? almost three a day =
for several weeks. Simultaneously, Jordanian and Egyptian troops, who =
had been conducting training exercises with Palestinian border police =
have taken up positions facing IDF positions in Kalkilya and Tulkaram, =
geographical points at which Israel is, at places, only thirteen miles =
wide. The Mossad reports that Russian-made Samet satellite guided =
missiles, known to have been smuggled into Palestine in small sections =
over many years and secretly assembled underground, have been placed on =
some of the Samarian mountaintops east of Tel Aviv and Netanya. These =
are positions where the Israeli townships of Kedumim and Alfei Menashe =
once stood.=20
Israeli prime-minister, 72-year-old Yossi Beilin, lodges a formal =
protest with the United Nations Secretary-General, Terje Larsen. He =
demands that the multi-national peace keeping force, who maintain a =
buffer zone between the two states, move immediately to confront the =
belligerence on Israel's border. The Secretary-General posts a weak =
reprimand to the government of Palestine but otherwise does nothing. =
Palestinian president Marwan Barghouti claims that the continued Israeli =
refusal to repatriate millions of descendants of refugees from the 1948 =
war has led to a disquiet that he can no longer contain.=20
Before the United Nations Security Council has a chance to =
convene, deadly suicide attacks at several Israeli air-force bases and =
many early warning stations on the Golan Heights and the Jordan Valley =
succeed in temporarily disabling effective air surveillance. Attacks on =
eight secret Israeli anti-ballistic missile sites follow. Within hours =
of these attacks, a massive missile barrage descends on Israel's coastal =
towns. Hundreds of Israelis die and thousands are injured. Syrian and =
Iraqi jets, taking advantage of the temporary impotence of the Israeli =
air-force, cross into Israeli airspace and pound IDF tank battalions =
stationed at the Kalkilya salient. Beilin, claiming Israel's right of =
self-defense, gives the go ahead for the IDF to advance into sovereign =
Palestinian territory striking at the missile launching pads.=20
But as word of the invasion rockets around the world, the European =
Union, who in 2015 had guaranteed Palestinian territorial integrity, =
moves its 9th Fleet, the world's largest, ten miles off Israeli shores. =
A warning is issued to Beilin that unless Israel withdraws its troops =
within 24 hours, and agrees to mediation, the European fleet will begin =
its own barrage of Israeli coastal targets.=20
Yes it is a nightmare and it was spun to life by some fascinating =
reading. Having recently completed both volumes 1 and 2 of What If?, the =
two works of counterfactual history edited by historian Roger Cowley, I =
thought it just as interesting to pose a question that has already =
stirred some historical interest: What if Yasser Arafat had accepted =
Ehud Barak's offer of peace and sovereignty at Camp David in the summer =
of 2000? What if, at a ceremony conducted at George Bush's Crawford =
Ranch, in September of 2001, Israel had agreed to evacuate dozens of =
Israeli settlements, given Arafat the right to establish East Jerusalem =
as the capital of Palestine, surrendered the Jordan Valley and agreed to =
the creation of a demilitarized Palestinian state?=20
That Arafat flubbed one of the greatest opportunities the =
Palestinians will ever have of establishing a state of their own will be =
unquestioned by future historians. But what the revanchist elements =
among the Palestinians will also certainly come to recognize, even more =
painfully, is that their last great opportunity to eliminate Israel =
altogether is gone forever. Had Arafat agreed to the Camp David =
proposals, it is conceivable that with the protection offered by the =
vital Samarian mountaintops, a State of Palestine, biding its time and =
marshalling both intelligence and armaments (while building a military =
alliance with an increasingly anti-Semitic Europe), could have delivered =
a devastating blow to Israel in the coming decades.=20
Conjecture perhaps, but not so fantastical. There is some reason =
to believe that Ehud Barak, though he had lost his parliamentary =
majority even before he went to Camp David, could have dragged the =
country behind him into an affirmative referendum on a final peace =
treaty in September 2000. The European element can also not be =
understated. During the next 20 years, Israel could well become the =
battleground -- ideological and otherwise -- of a new struggle between a =
leftist, authoritarian Europe and the more liberal, enlightened =
democracies.=20
In the summer of 2000, the Israelis were ready for peace. But =
after the Palestinians resorted to violence -- sacking ancient Jewish =
shrines, lynching soldiers, and letting loose suicide bombers -- all =
bets were off. Thereafter, Israelis were highly unlikely to entrust =
their safety and security to a handful of promises from Palestinian =
thugs who demonstrate as much interest in a permanent peaceful =
accommodation as Adolf Hitler did following Munich. Even Time Magazine =
now reports that what used to be a minority view -- the conviction that =
Israel is surrounded by enemies vowed to its extinction -- is now =
mainstream thinking.=20
So the window was opened and then jammed shut in a very short =
space of time. Never again are the Palestinians likely to find Israelis =
in such a compromising mood. For the next ten years, now fully cognizant =
of the perils of Palestinian rejectionism, the Israeli people are likely =
to choose conservative governments to lead them. And with every year, =
the idea of a state of Palestine will shrink. Settlements will grow, the =
U.S and the West will become less beholden to Arab oil wealth and the =
hardliners among the Palestinians, increasingly unable to grasp reality, =
will come to dominate Palestinian interests.=20
For a few days in July 2000 then, Yasser Arafat rolled dice with =
history and lost. His and Palestinian prospects now belong to the =
netherworld of the counter-factual. There, he will one day brood with =
the other also-rans of history, spending the rest of eternity pondering =
and regretting what could have been.=20

2. HATING THE UNITED STATES AND HATING ISRAEL=20
by Shalom Freedman - January 21, 2003 - IsraelNationalNews.com=20
One of the great disappointments of the current United States =
administration is that in the sixteen months since Sept. 11 the initial =
sympathy for the United States and solidarity expressed for it by its =
European allies has dissipated. Delay does have its price, and the US =
slowness in mobilizing its forces for any direct assault on Saddam =
Hussein=92s regime of evil has given time to anti=96American forces to =
mobilize. There is thus not only resistance from parts of a large share =
of the European population to any possible American action, but =
opposition from once staunch American allies, such as the new Germany. =
Even more alarming is the knowledge that numbers of people not only =
throughout the Islamic world, but in Europe, and even to a certain, if =
far lesser, degree in the United States, openly sympathize with Osama =
bin Laden and the terrorist forces of darkness, which would overthrow =
Western civilization entirely.=20
The hatred of America is, of course, built in great part on envy =
and resentment. It is built on the sense of American hegemony, the =
single superpower that is able to act throughout the world is resented =
for its capacity to interfere, direct and control. It is, in a time of =
economic downsizing, hated for its prosperity. Culturally, there are =
traditional worlds, especially within the Islamic world, which hate =
America for its freedom, openness and contradiction to traditional =
familial and sexual norms. The US represents an alternative evil culture =
in the eyes of those who would remain closed in their own worlds.=20
The hatred of Israel is, in one sense, the hatred of what is taken =
to be a kind of extension of the United States=92 dominating power. But =
the hatred of Israel centers now on the conflict with the Arabs, and =
most importantly the Palestinians. The Israelis are seen as =
=93America=92s pet=94, the =93little Satan=94 that does the =93Big =
Satan=92s=94 work. Israelis are seen as the oppressors and occupiers of =
Palestinian land, the harassers and killers of Palestinian civilians, =
the strong military power that oppresses a weak civilian power. Tied in =
with this are themes of traditional anti=96Semitism, which have been =
adopted by the Islamic world. The Jews are taken to be mysteriously =
powerful controllers of much of the world=92s media . The hatred of =
Israel is, throughout the Arab world, a state=96supported activity, =
whose ultimate aim is to so de-legitimize Israel that expediting its =
destruction will take on a moral urgency .=20
Here it should be noted that there are certain groups, especially =
the Saudis, Egyptians and other groups who eat at America=92s table, =
whose whole purpose is to connect the two hatreds, by claiming that =
Israel is responsible for America=92s being hated throughout the world. =
This group works to destroy Israel by detaching it from US support. Its =
success has been to this point very limited , for most Americans see =
Israel as a democracy, a natural ally, which shares fundamental values =
with the United States. Most Americans understand that their enemies and =
the enemies of Israel are, in most cases, the same people, the same =
totalitarian terrorists and evildoers. But the scapegoating of Israel is =
a major danger, of which all real friends of Israel must be continually =
aware.=20
Israel=92s smallness and diplomatic isolation make it a more =
convenient target than America, precisely because of its greater =
vulnerability .On the other hand, the spread and stretch of America, its =
very greatness, means that it has connections and extensions in places =
where Israel does not reach .The US is, for instance, hated in the Far =
East in a way Israel is not , simply because the US presence there is =
conspicuous and significant.=20
What is most important to remember, however, is that those who =
hate the U.S. and those who hate Israel are by and large the same =
people. And they share what might be called the =91value system of =
Evil.=92 They are against the open society, freedom, democracy, a =
society based on respect for the rights of the individual. They are the =
societies and groups that have small tolerance for the =91other=92, for =
views outside their own. And they are an increasingly visible part of =
European societies, which they threaten to destroy from within.=20
In this sense, the haters of the United States and Israel are the =
forces that would bring mankind into a new Dark Age; they are the force =
of Evil that must be soundly defeated if mankind is to move toward =
greater freedom, prosperity and well- being.=20

3. UN LACKS MORAL FIBER TO BACK US=20
By Jeff Jacoby - The Boston Globe - January 23, 2003 THE AMERICAN =
delegate put a brave face on it.=20
''This is not a defeat for the United States,'' US Ambassador =
Kevin Moley said after Libya was elected to the chairmanship of the =
United Nations' highest human rights panel on Monday. ''This is a defeat =
for the Human Rights Commission.''=20
The vote was 33 to 3, with only Canada and (reportedly) Guatemala =
joining the United States in voting no. Seventeen countries, mostly =
European, abstained.=20
The ambassador's sentiments were understandable. Of course it is =
preposterous to think of Moammar Khadafy's brutal regime - which =
tortures dissidents, imprisons citizens without charge, and prohibits =
freedom of speech, assembly, and religion - as a champion of liberty and =
due process. Everyone knows that Libya, architect of the 1988 bombing of =
Pan Am Flight 103 that killed 270 victims over Lockerbie, Scotland, is a =
foe, not a friend, of human rights.=20
Nevertheless, the ambassador was wrong. The choice of one of the =
world's most repressive tyrannies to head the UN's main human rights =
panel was not in any sense a defeat for the commission. Nor was it an =
embarrassment to the UN. On the contrary, it was a textbook illustration =
of the way the UN works.=20
Despite its name, the United Nations is not a fraternity of =
peoples. It is an association of governments, and it makes no =
distinction between those that rule with the consent of the governed and =
those that rule through force and fear. Inside the UN, a bloody =
despotism is every inch the equal of a liberal democracy. A government =
that respects human dignity has exactly the same vote as a government =
that tramples it. And while lip service is routinely paid to the high =
principles of the UN Charter, those principles are irrelevant to the =
UN's decisions and deliberations.=20
If the Human Rights Commission were really concerned with human =
rights, the accession of a ghoulish regime like Libya's to the chair =
would indeed be a scandal. But the commission's true purposes are to =
give Third World bullies a venue for grandstanding, to harangue Western =
democracies, to ensure that the world's cruelest rulers escape =
condemnation, and, of course, to bash Israel. There's nothing in that =
agenda to disqualify Libya. Or, for that matter, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, =
China, Syria, Sudan, or Zimbabwe - each a notorious human-rights =
violator and each a commission member in good standing.=20
The lopsided vote for Libya, including all those cowardly European =
abstentions, speaks volumes about the UN's character. It has become a =
monument to sanctimony and cynicism. It is a place where dishonesty and =
injustice are routine - where atrocious governments get away with =
appalling behavior because better governments lack the courage to face =
them down. The United Nations is a moral wasteland, and it is folly to =
treat its imprimatur as a benchmark of legitimacy.=20
This is why it was a mistake for the Bush administration to seek a =
green light from the UN before undertaking the liberation of Iraq. The =
Security Council has no interest in shutting down Saddam Hussein's reign =
of terror. It is not willing to destroy him before he acquires the =
ability to destroy countless new victims. No one should have been =
surprised this week when France and Germany announced that they are =
opposed to military action against Saddam. That is the position that =
they, like the rest of the Security Council save Britain, have taken all =
along.=20
The inspections are a farce. Inspectors can verify that a country =
has voluntarily dismantled its illegal weapons; they cannot disarm a =
government that is determined to deceive. ''Even the best inspectors =
have almost no chance of discovering hidden weapons sites ... in a =
country the size of Iraq,'' writes David Kay, the UN's former chief =
nuclear weapons inspector, in The Washington Post.=20
Seven years of inspections in the 1990s failed to shut down =
Saddam's chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons programs. No serious =
person can believe that another round of this charade under a much less =
aggressive supervisor will be any more successful. In any event, it is =
clear that no matter what Hans Blix and his team may find, Iraq's =
protectors on the Security Council will insist it is not enough to =
justify war.=20
The UN has gone as far as it will go: Under American pressure it =
passed Resolution 1441, which confirmed that Iraq ''remains in material =
breach of its obligations'' dating back to the Gulf War and offered =
Saddam one ''final opportunity'' to avoid ''serious consequences'' by =
complying. Those were strong, clear words, and if the Security Council =
were worthy of its name, it would be prepared to back them up with =
strong, clear action.=20
That it isn't is a pity. But the UN's lack of moral fiber must not =
keep the United States from acting. War is always risky, but appeasement =
and denial are more dangerous by far. The dissolution of Saddam's =
poisonous dictatorship can no longer wait.=20

4. THE TRAGEDY OF EXAGGERATION=20
By Yigal Walt - January 21, 2003 - Israelinsider.com=20
"He who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier =
to do it a second and third time, till at length it becomes habitual; he =
tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world's =
believing him" -Thomas Jefferson=20
The dramatic announcement was made on Palestinian TV during =
Israel's Operation Defensive Shield: a Christian priest, Jack Amateis, =
was killed and dozens of monks wounded in an Israel Defense Forces =
operation in Bethlehem. Yet as it turned out a day later, the rumors of =
Amateis' death were greatly exaggerated. The Palestinians were publicly =
embarrassed and discredited when Amateis himself confirmed that he and =
all nuns with him were safe and sound. On April 4, 2002, the Vatican's =
Ambassador to Israel, Cardinal Pietro Samari, apologized to the IDF for =
the false report.=20
Although this incident serves as a mere footnote in the grander =
arena of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, it offers a stark =
illustration of one of the fundamental maladies maligning the =
Palestinian cause. Furthermore, it is precisely this "blemish" which has =
in large part led to the startling political erosion of the Palestinian =
Authority. The previous two years of violence have presented us with a =
PA that had lost virtually all sense of integrity, decency and =
direction.=20
Instead, we have witnessed a Palestinian leadership so eagerly =
intent on embarrassing, smearing and discrediting Israel that this has =
largely emerged as an objective in and of itself. To paraphrase the =
frustrated Shlomo Ben Ami after the Taba negotiations in 2000, it =
increasingly appeared like the Palestinians seem to care more about =
denouncing Israel than they do about getting their own state. At all =
cost.=20
Here, in a nutshell, lies the essence of the current Palestinian =
tragedy. It is a tragedy of exaggeration, the grosser the better. It is =
a tragedy of far-fetched myths and ludicrous accusations, often stemming =
out of uncontrollable animosity to Israel rather than a cold focus on =
matters of self-interest. Sadly, it is also a tragedy that leaves both =
Israelis and Palestinians mired in a swamp of pain, blood and despair.=20
But first, a quick reminder: less than two and a half years ago =
the Palestinians were negotiating a final status settlement with Israel. =
On the table were unprecedented offers. The Palestinians could walk away =
with their own state, covering almost the entire West Bank and the Gaza =
strip. The press was solidly on their side, with Arafat a welcomed guest =
in Washington and other Western capitals. Yet today, the Palestinians =
find themselves in a bottomless pit. Their cities have been re-occupied, =
their economy shattered. The Palestinian Authority is in complete =
disarray; some say final death convulsions. What's worse, despite =
overall sympathy, international support from top political circles has =
greatly eroded. The US President refuses to talk to Arafat, let alone =
have him set foot in the White House again. European leaders often turn =
a cold shoulder. Arab leaders continue with their rhetoric, but extend =
no meaningful political assistance. Some of them, like Egyptian =
president Mubarak, offer words of reprimand instead. Newspaper reporters =
once friendly are now suspicious. What went wrong?=20
Although all governments, at one time or another, resort to deceit =
or manipulation of information, the use of deception and outright lying =
by the Palestinians is so deeply entrenched, blatantly performed, and =
irrationally presented, that it cannot be compared to usual public =
relations battles. Yet the Palestinians have somehow failed to realize =
that, in Abraham Lincoln's words, "you can't fool all of the people all =
the time." This astute observation is especially poignant when the =
people lied to happen to be top international leaders.=20
Yasser Arafat's personal assurance to President Bush and the =
Europeans that Fatah-Tanzim terrorist Atef Abayat was in custody proved =
to be a laughable fabrication when Abayat's jeep exploded, with the =
arch-terrorist in it, less than a week later. It appears Arafat was =
never fully forgiven for the arrogant and condescending attempt to =
mislead the American president, who also did not appreciate the =
embarrassingly weak Palestinian "clarification," namely that Abayat was =
"being transferred" to another jail at the time of his assassination by =
Israel. In retrospect, we can conclude that this seemingly minor =
episode, in addition to the Karin A weapon-smuggling fiasco, was =
probably the final nail in Arafat's proverbial US-made coffin. The =
Americans could never forgive such blatant lying, just as they could not =
excuse a Palestinian claim not to engage in terrorism proven meaningless =
by clandestine arms imports from Iran.=20
Unfortunately for the Palestinians, this was not the only case of =
one of their pledges finding its way to the pond of empty words and =
broken promises. Arafat had also insisted that Hamas terrorist Iman =
Halaweh was safely in prison, again causing the Europeans to shake their =
heads in frustration once Halaweh, free as ever, blew up in his Subaru =
shortly afterwards.=20
Thus, the Palestinian machine of deception, which has seemed so =
well oiled at times, had come at a very high cost. Ironically, Western =
politicians may have been willing to accept interpretations of =
Palestinian violence as a legitimate national struggle, yet they most =
certainly could not accept being lied to time after time and being =
treated as fools. Heedlessly, Arafat had turned the issues from purely =
political in nature to highly personal ones. Hence, the central role of =
Palestinian falsehood in bringing about the scorn of Western governments =
should not be underestimated or overlooked.=20
Yet as it turns out, the Palestinians do not only lie to world =
leaders. For Arafat and his cronies, the entire world is indeed a stage =
where outright lying and gross exaggeration are all considered =
legitimate tools of the trade. One of the favorite ploys used by =
Palestinians in this regard took the form of claims of various Israeli =
massacres, most notably but not limited to the one in Jenin. One such =
allegation widely circulated through Palestinian media, and later proven =
to be baseless, accused Israeli soldiers of committing a massacre in a =
Ramallah hospital during operation Defensive Shield. In reality, =
although soldiers acting on reliable intelligence information did enter =
hospitals and verified the identities of patients, no massacre took =
place.=20
Yet this canard, as grave and infuriating as it was, pales in =
comparison to the allegations of massacre in Jenin. Official Palestinian =
figures of at least 500 dead were proven grossly exaggerated, as =
findings of the UN commission later concluded. Palestinian spokesman =
Saeb Erekat, who articulated this fantastic tale on CNN, promised to =
apologize if the numbers he was spewing forth proved inaccurate. Not =
surprisingly, the world is still awaiting his retraction.=20
But even more damaging for the Palestinians were the attempts to =
cement their version of events by such means as mock funerals and the =
diabolical utilization of animal cadavers for the purpose of creating a =
deathly stench in the combat zone. The international news media, often =
quick to embrace Palestinian claims and dismiss violence as part of a =
legitimate battle, could not quite dismiss words and images which =
indicated the extent and sheer audacity of Palestinian deceit. Images of =
Palestinian "dead" falling off stretchers and climbing back up could not =
be explained away or legitimized.=20
The Jenin massacre, with the backlash of criticism against =
journalists too quick to jump to Palestinian custom-tailored =
conclusions, made newspapers and other media overly careful in future =
dealings with Palestinian claims. Newspaper editors, who had to deal =
with thousands of angry letters protesting obviously deficient coverage, =
would also become cautious of being burned by the fires of Palestinian =
falsehood again. This is not to suggest that all sympathy for the =
Palestinian cause had completely evaporated in the media; far from it in =
fact. At the same time, the circle of those willing to accept the =
Palestinian version of events, no questions asked, had certainly =
narrowed.=20
Thus, it is the Palestinian themselves who have largely created =
the atmosphere in which they are now struggling to operate. When every =
Israeli shot becomes a declaration of war and every Israeli incursion - =
an attempt at genocide, the world is unlikely to remain an attentive and =
believing listener. What's worse for the Palestinians, the false =
allegations often divert attention from the genuine problems; the great =
poverty, continuous curfews, and long lineups at military checkpoints. =
Those all become minor and uninteresting in light of possible =
"massacres" and bloody wars. Yet those areas are where the real =
Palestinian struggle is found, and where it has to be won. Only by =
formulating clear objectives, defining realistic goals, and articulating =
their struggle in a more credible and truthful manner, can the =
Palestinians hope to muster enough support, both within Israel and =
internationally, for their cause. Otherwise, they are running the risk =
of adding more members into the ever-widening circle of those who have =
become tired and disillusioned with the constant barrage of Palestinian =
myth and fiction.=20

PA Honors Hamas Suicide Bombers By Naming Soccer Teams After Them
By KHALED ABU TOAMEH - The Jerusalem Post, Jan. 21, 2003=20
The Palestinian Authority has decided to commemorate the memory of =
Abdel Baset Odeh, the Hamas terrorist who carried out the suicide =
bombing in a Netanya hotel last Passover Eve, by naming a soccer =
tournament after his name. Thirty people were killed and dozens injured =
in the attack, which triggered Operation Defensive Shield.=20
The Palestinian Authority=92s ministries of sports and education =
have been naming tournaments after the names of Palestinian "martyrs" =
for some years now. But the decision to honor Odeh has surprised many =
Palestinians because of his affiliation with Hamas.=20
Seven school teams are participating in the tournament, which is =
taking place in Tulkarem, the hometown of Odeh. Each one of the teams =
has been named after a "martyr" from the city. Sources in Tulkarem told =
The Jerusalem Post that the decision to honor Odeh and the others was =
not related to their political affiliations, but is based on the fact =
that they all lived in the city.=20
Karmi was killed in what was believed to be a targeted =
assassination planned by the IDF.=20
Tarek Abu Safaka, who carried out the suicide attack in Hermesh on =
February 10, 2002, killing three Israelis, has also been honored. One of =
the soccer teams now carries his name, the paper said.=20

Thereafter, Israelis were highly unlikely to entrust their safety =

<P>''This is not a defeat for the United States,'' US Ambassador =

<P>The vote was 33 to 3, with only Canada and (reportedly) =
Guatemala=20
joining the United States in voting no. Seventeen countries, =
mostly=20

<P>The ambassador's sentiments were understandable. Of course it =
is=20
preposterous to think of Moammar Khadafy's brutal regime - which =
tortures=20
dissidents, imprisons citizens without charge, and prohibits =
freedom of=20
speech, assembly, and religion - as a champion of liberty and due =
process.=20
Everyone knows that Libya, architect of the 1988 bombing of Pan Am =
Flight=20
103 that killed 270 victims over Lockerbie, Scotland, is a foe, =
not a=20
friend, of human rights.=20
<P>Nevertheless, the ambassador was wrong. The choice of one of =
the=20
world's most repressive tyrannies to head the UN's main human =
rights panel=20
was not in any sense a defeat for the commission. Nor was it an=20
embarrassment to the UN. On the contrary, it was a textbook =
illustration=20
of the way the UN works.=20
<P>Despite its name, the United Nations is not a fraternity of =
peoples. It=20
is an association of governments, and it makes no distinction =
between=20
those that rule with the consent of the governed and those that =
rule=20
through force and fear. Inside the UN, a bloody despotism is every =
inch=20
the equal of a liberal democracy. A government that respects human =
dignity=20
has exactly the same vote as a government that tramples it. And =
while lip=20
service is routinely paid to the high principles of the UN =
Charter, those=20
principles are irrelevant to the UN's decisions and deliberations. =
<P>If the Human Rights Commission were really concerned with human =
rights,=20
the accession of a ghoulish regime like Libya's to the chair would =
indeed=20
be a scandal. But the commission's true purposes are to give Third =
World=20
bullies a venue for grandstanding, to harangue Western =
democracies, to=20
ensure that the world's cruelest rulers escape condemnation, and, =
of=20
course, to bash Israel. There's nothing in that agenda to =
disqualify=20
Libya. Or, for that matter, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, China, Syria, =
Sudan, or=20
Zimbabwe - each a notorious human-rights violator and each a =
commission=20
member in good standing.=20
<P>The lopsided vote for Libya, including all those cowardly =
European=20
abstentions, speaks volumes about the UN's character. It has =
become a=20
monument to sanctimony and cynicism. It is a place where =
dishonesty and=20
injustice are routine - where atrocious governments get away with=20
appalling behavior because better governments lack the courage to =
face=20
them down. The United Nations is a moral wasteland, and it is =
folly to=20
treat its imprimatur as a benchmark of legitimacy.=20
<P>This is why it was a mistake for the Bush administration to =
seek a=20
green light from the UN before undertaking the liberation of Iraq. =
The=20
Security Council has no interest in shutting down Saddam Hussein's =
reign=20
of terror. It is not willing to destroy him before he acquires the =
ability=20
to destroy countless new victims. No one should have been =
surprised this=20
week when France and Germany announced that they are opposed to =
military=20
action against Saddam. That is the position that they, like the =
rest of=20
the Security Council save Britain, have taken all along.=20
<P>The inspections are a farce. Inspectors can verify that a =
country has=20
voluntarily dismantled its illegal weapons; they cannot disarm a=20
government that is determined to deceive. ''Even the best =
inspectors have=20
almost no chance of discovering hidden weapons sites ... in a =
country the=20
size of Iraq,'' writes David Kay, the UN's former chief nuclear =
weapons=20
inspector, in The Washington Post.=20
<P>Seven years of inspections in the 1990s failed to shut down =
Saddam's=20
chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons programs. No serious =
person can=20
believe that another round of this charade under a much less =
aggressive=20
supervisor will be any more successful. In any event, it is clear =
that no=20
matter what Hans Blix and his team may find, Iraq's protectors on =
the=20
Security Council will insist it is not enough to justify war.=20
<P>The UN has gone as far as it will go: Under American pressure =
it passed=20
Resolution 1441, which confirmed that Iraq ''remains in material =
breach of=20
its obligations'' dating back to the Gulf War and offered Saddam =
one=20
''final opportunity'' to avoid ''serious consequences'' by =
complying.=20
Those were strong, clear words, and if the Security Council were =
worthy of=20
its name, it would be prepared to back them up with strong, clear =
action.=20
<P>That it isn't is a pity. But the UN's lack of moral fiber must =

the United States from acting. War is always risky, but =
appeasement and=20

Defense Forces operation in Bethlehem. Yet as it turned out a day =
later,=20
the rumors of Amateis' death were greatly exaggerated. The =
Palestinians=20
were publicly embarrassed and discredited when Amateis himself =
confirmed=20
that he and all nuns with him were safe and sound. On April 4, =
2002, the=20
Vatican's Ambassador to Israel, Cardinal Pietro Samari, apologized =
to the=20
IDF for the false report.=20
<P>Although this incident serves as a mere footnote in the grander =
arena=20
of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, it offers a stark =
illustration of one=20
of the fundamental maladies maligning the Palestinian cause. =
Furthermore,=20
it is precisely this "blemish" which has in large part led to the=20
startling political erosion of the Palestinian Authority. The =
previous two=20
years of violence have presented us with a PA that had lost =
virtually all=20
sense of integrity, decency and direction.=20
<P>Instead, we have witnessed a Palestinian leadership so eagerly =
intent=20
on embarrassing, smearing and discrediting Israel that this has =
largely=20
emerged as an objective in and of itself. To paraphrase the =
frustrated=20
Shlomo Ben Ami after the Taba negotiations in 2000, it =
increasingly=20
appeared like the Palestinians seem to care more about denouncing =
Israel=20
than they do about getting their own state. At all cost.=20
<P>Here, in a nutshell, lies the essence of the current =
Palestinian=20
tragedy. It is a tragedy of exaggeration, the grosser the better. =
It is a=20
tragedy of far-fetched myths and ludicrous accusations, often =
stemming out=20
of uncontrollable animosity to Israel rather than a cold focus on =
matters=20
of self-interest. Sadly, it is also a tragedy that leaves both =
Israelis=20
and Palestinians mired in a swamp of pain, blood and despair.=20
<P>But first, a quick reminder: less than two and a half years ago =
the=20
Palestinians were negotiating a final status settlement with =
Israel. On=20
the table were unprecedented offers. The Palestinians could walk =
away with=20
their own state, covering almost the entire West Bank and the Gaza =
strip.=20
The press was solidly on their side, with Arafat a welcomed guest =
in=20
Washington and other Western capitals. Yet today, the Palestinians =
find=20
themselves in a bottomless pit. Their cities have been =
re-occupied, their=20
economy shattered. The Palestinian Authority is in complete =
disarray; some=20
say final death convulsions. What's worse, despite overall =
sympathy,=20
international support from top political circles has greatly =
eroded. The=20
US President refuses to talk to Arafat, let alone have him set =
foot in the=20
White House again. European leaders often turn a cold shoulder. =
Arab=20
leaders continue with their rhetoric, but extend no meaningful =
political=20
assistance. Some of them, like Egyptian president Mubarak, offer =
words of=20
reprimand instead. Newspaper reporters once friendly are now =
suspicious.=20
What went wrong?=20
<P>Although all governments, at one time or another, resort to =
deceit or=20
manipulation of information, the use of deception and outright =
lying by=20
the Palestinians is so deeply entrenched, blatantly performed, and =
irrationally presented, that it cannot be compared to usual public =
relations battles. Yet the Palestinians have somehow failed to =
realize=20
that, in Abraham Lincoln's words, "you can't fool all of the =
people all=20
the time." This astute observation is especially poignant when the =
people=20
lied to happen to be top international leaders.=20
<P>Yasser Arafat's personal assurance to President Bush and the =
Europeans=20
that Fatah-Tanzim terrorist Atef Abayat was in custody proved to =
be a=20
laughable fabrication when Abayat's jeep exploded, with the =
arch-terrorist=20
in it, less than a week later. It appears Arafat was never fully =
forgiven=20
for the arrogant and condescending attempt to mislead the American =
president, who also did not appreciate the embarrassingly weak =
Palestinian=20
"clarification," namely that Abayat was "being transferred" to =
another=20
jail at the time of his assassination by Israel. In retrospect, we =
can=20
conclude that this seemingly minor episode, in addition to the =
Karin A=20
weapon-smuggling fiasco, was probably the final nail in Arafat's=20
proverbial US-made coffin. The Americans could never forgive such =
blatant=20
lying, just as they could not excuse a Palestinian claim not to =
engage in=20
terrorism proven meaningless by clandestine arms imports from =
Iran.=20
<P>Unfortunately for the Palestinians, this was not the only case =
of one=20
of their pledges finding its way to the pond of empty words and =
broken=20
promises. Arafat had also insisted that Hamas terrorist Iman =
Halaweh was=20
safely in prison, again causing the Europeans to shake their heads =
in=20
frustration once Halaweh, free as ever, blew up in his Subaru =
shortly=20
afterwards.=20
<P>Thus, the Palestinian machine of deception, which has seemed so =
well=20
oiled at times, had come at a very high cost. Ironically, Western=20
politicians may have been willing to accept interpretations of =
Palestinian=20
violence as a legitimate national struggle, yet they most =
certainly could=20
not accept being lied to time after time and being treated as =
fools.=20
Heedlessly, Arafat had turned the issues from purely political in =
nature=20
to highly personal ones. Hence, the central role of Palestinian =
falsehood=20
in bringing about the scorn of Western governments should not be=20
underestimated or overlooked.=20
<P>Yet as it turns out, the Palestinians do not only lie to world =
leaders.=20
For Arafat and his cronies, the entire world is indeed a stage =
where=20
outright lying and gross exaggeration are all considered =
legitimate tools=20
of the trade. One of the favorite ploys used by Palestinians in =
this=20
regard took the form of claims of various Israeli massacres, most =
notably=20
but not limited to the one in Jenin. One such allegation widely =
circulated=20
through Palestinian media, and later proven to be baseless, =
accused=20
Israeli soldiers of committing a massacre in a Ramallah hospital =
during=20
operation Defensive Shield. In reality, although soldiers acting =
on=20
reliable intelligence information did enter hospitals and verified =
the=20
identities of patients, no massacre took place.=20
<P>Yet this canard, as grave and infuriating as it was, pales in=20
comparison to the allegations of massacre in Jenin. Official =
Palestinian=20
figures of at least 500 dead were proven grossly exaggerated, as =
findings=20
of the UN commission later concluded. Palestinian spokesman Saeb =
Erekat,=20
who articulated this fantastic tale on CNN, promised to apologize =
if the=20
numbers he was spewing forth proved inaccurate. Not surprisingly, =
the=20
world is still awaiting his retraction.=20
<P>But even more damaging for the Palestinians were the attempts =
to cement=20
their version of events by such means as mock funerals and the =
diabolical=20
utilization of animal cadavers for the purpose of creating a =
deathly=20
stench in the combat zone. The international news media, often =
quick to=20
embrace Palestinian claims and dismiss violence as part of a =
legitimate=20
battle, could not quite dismiss words and images which indicated =
the=20
extent and sheer audacity of Palestinian deceit. Images of =
Palestinian=20
"dead" falling off stretchers and climbing back up could not be =
explained=20
away or legitimized.=20
<P>The Jenin massacre, with the backlash of criticism against =
journalists=20
too quick to jump to Palestinian custom-tailored conclusions, made =
newspapers and other media overly careful in future dealings with=20
Palestinian claims. Newspaper editors, who had to deal with =
thousands of=20
angry letters protesting obviously deficient coverage, would also =
become=20
cautious of being burned by the fires of Palestinian falsehood =
again. This=20
is not to suggest that all sympathy for the Palestinian cause had=20
completely evaporated in the media; far from it in fact. At the =
same time,=20
the circle of those willing to accept the Palestinian version of =
events,=20
no questions asked, had certainly narrowed.=20
<P>Thus, it is the Palestinian themselves who have largely created =
the=20
atmosphere in which they are now struggling to operate. When every =
Israeli=20
shot becomes a declaration of war and every Israeli incursion - an =
attempt=20
at genocide, the world is unlikely to remain an attentive and =
believing=20

divert attention from the genuine problems; the great poverty, =
continuous=20
curfews, and long lineups at military checkpoints. Those all =

and uninteresting in light of possible "massacres" and bloody =
wars. Yet=20
those areas are where the real Palestinian struggle is found, and =
where it=20
has to be won. Only by formulating clear objectives, defining =
