1. A PLAGUE WITHOUT A CURE
By Barbara Amiel - McLean's Magazine - March 08, 2004=20
Anti-Semitism is alive and sick -- and flourishing most everywhere
The past month has seen a fair amount of activity on what the =
Nazis called "Judenfrage" or the "Jewish Question." European Commission =
President Romano Prodi assured delegates to an anti-Semitism conference =
in Brussels that there was absolutely no similarity between Europe's =
current outbreak of anti-Semitic violence and that of the thirties. The =
UN, having last fall voted that Israel's security fence was illegal, =
went to the International Court of Justice in the Hague (without the =
consent or participation of Israel) to get its position confirmed. =
Business as usual for the Chosen People.=20
The term Jewish Question preceded Hitler. It first surfaced in =
England in 1753. At issue was the highly controversial "Jew Bill" =
(officially known as the Jewish Naturalization Bill) designed to give =
foreign-born Jews in England the ability to acquire citizenship and some =
political rights. The bill passed, only to be repealed a few months =
later, but the phrase had entered the language.=20
By the 19th century, the Jewish Question was shorthand for the =
Jewish Problem, which had been a subject of debate for several thousand =
years. What should we do with our Jews, asked Europe. What rights and =
place should they have in society? Karl Marx gave birth to the Left's =
solution in his essay "About the Jewish Question," which suggested a =
world without Jews or Judaism. With this essay, Marx established the =
now-familiar tradition of self-hatred among far-left Jews.=20
Jews themselves debated The Question. Was there safety in =
assimilation or in a homeland? Was it better to work for tolerance in =
your own society or in Palestine? Europe muddled on, alternating decades =
of peaceful co-existence with the cries of "Hep, hep, Juden verreck" =
(death to all Jews). Like some terrible virus, the Jewish Question =
erupted sporadically, mutating this way and that, but always retaining =
its base of primitive fear and hatred.=20
The 20th century came in with pogroms in Russia and Poland and =
carried on into the Holocaust. This current is now expressed in the =
verbal pogroms of the UN, which has effortlessly evolved into the world =
centre of anti-Semitism. Verbal pogroms are preferable to physical ones, =
of course: unfortunately, one often leads to the other. The welcoming of =
a gun-toting Yasser Arafat by the UN General Assembly in 1974 led, =
unsurprisingly, straight to today's suicide bombers.=20
In this context, last month's shenanigans are normal. Prodi's =
rejection of any comparison to the thirties is based on his apparent =
view that the current harassment of Jews is not state-sponsored. But all =
historical parallels are slightly askew. History manifests itself in =
different ways. There is no question that Jews in Europe, especially =
visible ones wearing skullcaps -- or the uniforms of a Jewish soccer =
team in France -- face a threat akin to that of the thirties. The only =
difference is that the worry of being knocked down on the street comes =
not from another European as it did in the thirties, but frequently, =
according to a yet-to-be-released EU study, from a young Muslim who is =
either an immigrant or the son of one. This makes little difference to =
the Jew attacked. Prodi's grasp of history, too, is defective: the =
pre-Hitler anti-Semitism of the Weimar Republic was not state policy but =
private enterprise.=20
The construction of Israel's security fence has been a splendid =
opportunity for various organizations and individuals to make a periodic =
emergence from their closets on the Jewish Question. The International =
Committee of the Red Cross abandoned its neutrality to condemn the fence =
and engage in a bit of Israel-bashing. Liberal MP Pat O'Brien from =
London, Ont., joined the bandwagon with his Commons remarks suggesting =
the fence has created "concentration camps."=20
It is sophistry to call such attitudes legitimate political =
criticism and not plain old anti-Semitism. Standards are being used here =
that are applicable only to Israel and to no other party in the =
conflict. In the face of murderous hostility to its existence, Israel is =
expected to behave with a suicidal restraint unequalled by any other =
country in the world. The crowds marching in London's Trafalgar Square =
or the West Bank's Ramallah with their "Death to the Jews" signs have at =
least none of the sophistry of Canadian parliamentarians. But what those =
crowds do demonstrate, vividly, is how the virus of anti-Semitism jumped =
from Europe to the Islamic world and then, under the camouflage of the =
Arab-Israeli conflict, back to a receptive Europe for reinfection.=20
Meanwhile, critics of the fence say they would not object if =
Israel would build it along the 1949 border (the Green line). To do =
this, Israel would be unilaterally accepting Palestinian demands without =
getting anything in return -- neither a cessation of terrorism nor an =
undertaking of peace.=20
Suicide bombers, unfortunately, use strategic farmers' groves and =
roads to hospitals to infiltrate Israel. There seems to be an obdurate =
blindness to the fact that rejectionist Arabs and Muslims refuse to =
accept the existence of the state of Israel within any borders.=20
So the Jewish Question rumbles on. It may be the price Jews must =
pay for their covenant with Jehovah: for having gone on existing while =
other nations from Biblical times have turned to dust. Is it worth the =
price? It is unseemly to have second thoughts about a deal made with =
God.=20

2. THE CHICKEN OR THE EGG?
by Gerald A. Honigman - March 10, 2004=20
It's become routine by now. Jewish civilians get deliberately =
blown up by Arabs on buses or in restaurants, and this next becomes =
morally equated with Arab non-combatants who die because their heroes =
used them as human shields. We're then told that all of this starts in =
the first place because of Israeli "oppression", a.k.a. measures Jews =
take to try to stop Arabs from butchering their kids. Consider the =
following sequence of events.=20
A while back, Molly Moore of the Washington Post reported on =
progress in talks between Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and the =
Palestinian Authority's Mahmoud Abbas. In passing, she quoted from Hamas =
spokesman, Abdul Aziz Rantisi, who held out the possibility of halting =
terror against Israelis. This, "of course," was contingent on Israel =
first stopping all actions it has been forced to take to stop the murder =
itself.=20
A few days earlier, we had heard that certain U.S. "officials" =
(translate as State Department) pondered that in acknowledging Israeli =
concerns regarding the Road Map, new disputes with the Arabs would =
surface.=20
This is true. Consider the current debate and pressure being =
exerted upon Israel over the course of its security fence as just one =
example.=20
Arabs think they're going to shove the pre-'67 Auschwitz/armistice =
lines down Israel's throat again. Among other things, Israel was made a =
mere nine miles wide by those U.N.-imposed lines. The latter simply =
marked the point where hostilities ended after the Arab invasion of a =
newly-reborn Israel in 1948.=20
As Eugene Rostow and other leading international legal scholars =
have pointed out, those armistice lines, especially in Judea and Samaria =
=96 the "West Bank" =96 were never meant to be permanent borders. =
Indeed, some Texas driveways are reputed to be longer than that. Most of =
Israel's population and industry lies within that narrow waistband.=20
Palestinian Arabs and their European, Russian, United Nations, and =
other supporters (including friends in Foggy Bottom) are looking for a =
virtual resurrection of the Oslo debacle. In Oslo I, the more Israel =
tangibly gave, the more it bled. Without President Bush's assurances =
that this will not again be the case, Sharon =96 or any other Israeli =
leader =96 could not accept this so-called new plan for peace. Indeed, =
the Road Map now appears dead in its tracks because the Arabs have =
refused to do the one thing that could breathe life into it =96 stop the =
slaughter of Jews.=20
Let's get something straight right from the start. The problems =
that both Abbas and Rantisi had earlier cited =96 Israeli incursions, =
assaults, checkpoints, travel restrictions, and other measures that =
admittedly cause inconvenience and frustration =96 were eggs laid and =
hatched as a result of Arab rejectionist hens raised on both of their =
farms. The Palestinian Authority and Hamas have simply been playing a =
game of good cop/bad cop with the Jews to win as many one-sided =
concessions as possible. "Moderate" PA spokesmen have described Oslo as =
a "Trojan Horse."=20
Camp David 2000 and Taba clearly showed that occupation and =
settlements were not the problem. While it's been said many times, it =
must be repeated yet again:=20
Israel indeed offered Yasser Arafat over 97% of the disputed =
territories, along with half of Jerusalem, etc. Ambassador Dennis Ross =
was there and confirmed the offer for a contiguous state =96 not =
"disconnected cantons" as anti-Israel attack dogs now claim.=20
The sticky point both then and now was/is the existence of a =
viable Israel, regardless of size. Arabs continue to kill not to "end =
occupation" =96 unless one understands that to mean Tel Aviv as well as =
Hebron =96 but to end Israel. A mere look at either PA or Hamas websites =
quickly illustrates this. There is no Israel present in maps on either =
site, and "Palestine" exists in place of Israel, not alongside it.=20
Arabs blow up Jewish innocents on buses, in pizza parlors, teen =
night clubs, etc. because, in too many Arab eyes, no Jew living in a =
Jewish state is innocent.=20
How dare Israeli Jews, half of whom were refugees themselves from =
"Arab" lands (where they were known as kelbi yahudi - "Jew dogs"), want =
in one minuscule state what Arabs have conquered and forcibly Arabized =
for themselves in twenty-two others? Arabs reject an independent Kurdish =
state, Berber state, Black African Sudanese state, etc. for the same =
reasons =96 a belief that only they have the right to rule lands where =
many different peoples have historically lived and live.=20
Regardless of the chants of the popular anti-Israel chorus, there =
is no moral equivalency between those who murder and those who try to =
prevent their loved ones from being murdered. And that's what Israel's =
reservations over the Road Map are basically all about and why Israel is =
building its costly security fence.=20
After 9/11, the United States didn't negotiate with Al-Qaida or =
the Taliban. It sent in B-52 and B-1 bombers to do the "negotiating." =
Yet, the world expects Israel to constantly watch its people get blown =
to bits. Al-Qaida had its gripes with America, too, but that didn't lead =
us to seek "accommodation" with those who butchered our people.=20
So, a piece of advice. The next time you read some columnist =
complaining about checkpoints, or see another picture about those long =
lines, consider the following:=20
Before anything can be done to ease up on the measures and =
restrictions Israel has been forced to take to try to limit Arab =
terrorism, the Arabs themselves must control those who deliberately =
disembowel, maim and incinerate Jews.=20
What other nation would demand less?=20
In this case, there's no mistaking which came first. As long as =
Arab hens continue their deadly business as usual, misery for their own =
people will also hatch from the eggs that are laid.=20

3. EVEN WORSE THAN OSLO
By Caroline Glick Jerusalem Post - March 12, 2004=20
In the latest orchestrated leak to the press, Thursday Ma'ariv =
reported the details of the unilateral withdrawal plan drafted for Prime =
Minister Ariel Sharon by his National Security Council. The plan =
involves the expulsion of Israelis not only from the Gush Katif, Kfar =
Darom and Netzarim in Gaza, but also from up to 25 additional towns in =
Judea and Samaria. According to the plan, the towns in Gaza that are set =
to be vacated will be transferred to an unidentified "somebody."=20
So now it is clear that the plan that Sharon has so far refused to =
present to his cabinet is not simply about a unilateral withdrawal from =
the Gaza Strip. It is also about a unilateral withdrawal from Judea and =
Samaria. The fact that the prime minister has decided to shorten the =
security fence by some 170 kilometers to make it more or less =
coterminous with the 1949 armistice lines is further evidence that what =
Sharon has in mind is an Israeli surrender of just about all of the =
disputed territories to "somebody."=20
The NSC's plan also lists the obvious security vulnerabilities =
inherent in the unilateral withdrawal. These dangers include "an =
increase in terror; a disintegration of the Palestinian regime; a Hamas =
takeover of the Gaza Strip; a humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian =
territories that Israel will be sucked into; an adjustment of terror =
organizations to the new circumstances with renewal of operations at a =
raised tempo; and damage to Israeli intelligence capabilities in the =
aftermath of the withdrawal."=20
Sharon's political machinations over the past few weeks indicate =
he is committed to moving forward with this plan regardless of =
consequences. Again, through orchestrated media leaks, we learned this =
week that he has already concluded negotiations with Labor Party leader =
Shimon Peres for Labor, a party resoundingly rejected by the voters in =
last year's elections, to join his government after he forces the =
National Union and the NRP to bolt his coalition.=20
Sharon has also leaked that he is considering bringing Shas into =
his government, perhaps as a result of a projected breakup of the Likud =
itself. Sources in the Likud have noted that the anti-withdrawal block =
already includes the legally required 15 MKs who together can leave the =
party and form a new parliamentary faction.=20
While our elected officials have so far received no opportunity to =
debate or vote on Sharon's plan in the cabinet (and have disgracefully =
demanded none), Sharon is aggressively promoting it to foreigners, with =
whose help he plans to push it through his government as a fait =
accompli. With the enthusiastic backing of our media, Sharon is engaging =
the Egyptian and US governments in in-depth discussions about the role =
they will play in implementing his plan.=20
After his meeting Thursday with Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom, =
Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak agreed to amend the limitations placed =
on Egyptian military deployments in the Sinai by the Camp David Peace =
Accord and deploy units to man the border between Gaza and Egypt. As for =
Hamas, Mubarak told Israeli reporters that the movement is not his =
problem. "I don't want to talk about Hamas or any other organization. =
It's not my business. The Palestinians must bring security. As for =
Hamas, you created it," Mubarak said.=20
As for the Bush administration, Sharon hopes that the removal of =
Jews from up to 25 towns in Judea and Samaria will convince the =
president and his advisers to accept what former President Bill Clinton =
proposed in 2000, namely an American acceptance of Israeli civilian =
presence in Gush Etzion, Ariel and the Adumim bloc communities. Since =
negotiations are still ongoing, it is unclear whether President Bush =
will go as far as Clinton would have.=20
One of the most noteworthy aspects of the Sharon plan is how =
closely it follows the model of the Oslo Accords. Like the current =
initiative, the Oslo Accord was sold to the Israeli public as a way to =
withdraw from the hornet's nest of Gaza. The fact that Judea and Samaria =
were also being given away was aggressively downplayed by both the =
Rabin-Peres government and the media. Like the current plan, Oslo was =
negotiated without government or military oversight. Like the current =
plan, the dangers inherent in Oslo were known before the agreement was =
signed.=20
On the other hand, in many respects Oslo was better than what =
Sharon is currently advocating. In 1993, the government had the luxury =
of innocence. It can be argued that both Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres =
believed that the PLO was a reasonable partner that would abide by its =
commitments to live at peace with Israel, combat terrorism and educate =
Palestinian society to live in peace with the Jewish state. This is not =
the case today. We already know that we have no credible Palestinian =
partner.=20
Oslo also provided us with diplomatic openings to many countries =
and enhanced Israel's diplomatic standing generally for a time. In the =
case of the Sharon plan, no such dividend is in the offing. The position =
of the international community remains that the plan cannot cancel the =
future need for additional concessions in Judea and Samaria and leaves =
the issues of Jerusalem and Palestinian refugees on the table.=20
In addition, Oslo entailed the continued deployment of IDF troops =
in Judea, Samaria and Gaza. It also allowed the retention of an Israeli =
civilian presence in the territories and placed no restrictions on the =
right of that Israeli civilian presence to grow and develop freely.=20
Sharon's program allows for none of these things. The IDF will be =
redeployed out of Gaza and, it can be assumed, much of Judea and =
Samaria. We also know that when the Palestinians continue to attack us, =
the Europeans and the Americans will pressure our government "to =
exercise restraint" in responding. We know that the Egyptians will take =
no effective action to curb these assaults and we know that at the UN =
and other international fora, Israel will be condemned for taking any =
actions whatsoever to defend our citizenry from terrorist assault =
emanating from the areas under the control of "somebody."=20
Aside from the policy parallels to Oslo, Sharon's plan shares an =
additional similarity to Rabin's gamble. As was the case with Rabin, =
Sharon has offered his plan at a time when he was under no international =
pressure whatsoever to do anything of the sort. Rabin moved on Oslo =
because he wished to shore up his credibility domestically. In the 1992 =
elections he had promised to achieve an agreement "within a year."=20
The clock was ticking, so he moved. In Sharon's case, he has his =
legal woes and his sinking numbers in the polls to consider, so he too =
moves.=20
The most stunning aspect of this plan is the fact that it is being =
advanced at the same time as another Middle East peace plan that =
actually could bring about a long term change for the better in our =
region. This plan, the Bush administration's Greater Middle East =
Initiative, involves pressuring Arab dictatorships like Egypt's to =
democratize. The very existence of the US initiative has already caused =
shockwaves throughout the Arab world. It is empowering voices of freedom =
from Damascus to Mecca to Cairo. For the first time, these voices are =
getting picked up by Western news organizations which for years stood by =
as they were repressed and silenced.=20
Iraq this week took the incredible step of ratifying a =
constitution that will make the country the first Arab democracy ever. =
The potential repercussions of a stable pro-Western Ir! aqi democracy on =
the region are enormous.=20
And yet, again according to leaks to the press, we learn that =
Egypt will be paid off by the US for its declared willingness to deploy =
its military forces along the border. One can only assume that the price =
that Mubarak will exact is an American pledge not to apply even the =
slightest pressure on him to free his people from the yoke of his =
dictatorship.=20
For decades Likud leaders, from Begin to Shamir to Netanyahu, =
argued that the only way for Israel to ever live at peace with its =
neighbors is for these neighbors to become democracies. Since Israel has =
no power to force such a change, over the years, these leaders were =
subject to ridicule and calumny. Their belief in democracy was =
criticized as a tactic to forestall negotiations with the PLO and with =
the presidents-for-life in Egypt and Syria.=20
Yet, while Israel has no power to cause our neighbors to choose =
freedom and democracy, the US has such power. And today, rather than =
allowing the Bush administration to use this power, Sharon's wooing of =
Mubarak pulls the rug out from under an initiative that presents the =
only real chance of bringing peace and security to Israel in a way that =
can meet both the Arab and the Israeli needs.=20
Not surprisingly, the US plan was long debated both openly in the =
US press and behind closed doors. It was publicly launched by the =
president. The plan's credibility rests on the credibility the US gained =
in the Arab world as a result of its military victory in Iraq. If =
successful, it will advance US national security interests in the region =
by drying up the swamps of extremism that flourish in the darkness of =
totalitarian regimes. If it fails, the US is no worse off than it is =
today. That is, the plan is low risk and entails a potentially enormous =
payoff.=20
In sharp contrast, Sharon's plan is being advanced despite its =
high risks and unclear payoffs. It strengthens our enemies among the =
Palestinians. It enhances Mubarak's regional strength and reputation at =
the expense of the American sponsored nascent Iraqi democracy. It =
emboldens the Europeans and it pushes the US into a position where in =
the interests of "progress" in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict it will =
be forced to undermine a plan that can actually bring peace.=20
And all of this it does while manipulating the Israeli people, =
through orchestrated leaks and behind the scenes discussions, to accept =
a government we rejected a year ago and a plan far worse than the one we =
were bamboozled into accepting 11 years ago.=20

4. 'AVOID THE ALGERIAN PRECEDENT'
By Fiamma Nirenstein - Jerusalem Post - March 11, 2004=20
Princeton scholar Bernard Lewis, universally accepted as the =
world's leading expert on the history of the Middle East and author =
among other works of The Crisis of Islam and, most recently, From Babel =
to Dragomans: Interpreting the Middle East, discussed with the Post =
developments in Iraq and Israel, during a visit to Tel Aviv early this =
month.=20
Are you in favor of immediate elections in Iraq?
I don't want us to repeat what happened in Algeria, where =
elections quickly devolved into a massacre. We need to tread very =
carefully. Elections have to stabilize Iraq, not upset it. Otherwise, =
countries like Iran and other Middle Eastern dictatorships have an =
interest in seeing to it that democracy never takes root. Much of the =
funding and organizational support for terrorist groups comes from Iran. =
Can the US really take on countries directly responsible for =
terrorism?
I don't think that there's a need anymore for other wars. If the =
opposition isn't blocked, Iran is poised for a democratic revolution. As =
for the other countries involved in funding terrorism, I can imagine the =
collapse of corrupt minority regimes in crisis, ones which persecute and =
impoverish their citizens.=20
Do you have faith that, in spite of everything, democracy will =
prevail?=20
Saddam Hussein, a Ba'athist-minority dictator, was nourished by =
Nazism first and then by communism, both European totalitarian =
ideologies. If anything, the risk of not succeeding in dismantling these =
fragile Middle Eastern dictatorships today lies more in the history of =
the rapport between the Muslim and the Western worlds than it does in =
Muslim roots. Islam, which has been weak for two centuries, has always =
sought backing to help it fight the enemy - Western democracy. First it =
supported the Axis against the Allies, then the communists against the =
US: two disasters. Today it is seeking the protection of Europe against =
the US, which it sees as its principal enemy. And Europe is facing a =
difficult debate between those who want to accept that role and those =
who don't. Please, I have no intention of comparing Europe to Nazi =
Germany or the USSR, I'm only talking about the position in which the =
Arab world is trying to put the old continent.=20
How has America's war on terror affected the terrorists?
The war, which has set the entire Middle East in motion, threatens =
terrorism, and so it contributes to the terrorists' activating their =
defenses. You see, Iraq today could become a democracy in the middle of =
the Middle East. In the papers we may only read about terrorist attacks, =
but in reality Iraq is bustling with all kinds of movement - new =
newspapers, new local forms of self-government, young people signing up =
to be in the police or the army. Things are incomparably better than =
they were under Saddam. And we can proceed with caution, without rushing =
to carry out elections that would require local electoral lists, laws =
and structures that still need to be defined.=20
How will the trial in the Hague affect the Middle East peace =
process?
What's happening in the Hague is absurd. It's a matter of common =
sense.=20
Everyone knows it's not a legal question, but rather a political =
one, one which can only be resolved when the two sides have decided to =
treat it as such: politically.=20
The world has always been tormented by border issues. Alsace and =
Lorraine spent hundreds of years establishing their borders and only =
now, just maybe, have they succeeded.=20
The UN may pose the question in legalistic terms - and in a minute =
I'll explain why I mean legalistic, not legal - but this is really not =
about what the UN says it's about. My impression is that the UN has =
taken up a debate from the Palestinian side, so we can't be sure whether =
the discussion concerns the dimensions of Israel, its behavior, or its =
existence.=20
Is Israel violating international law in its building of the =
fence?
The only Armistice Agreement that deals with borders is the one =
signed in Rhodes on January 6, 1949. The second part of article five =
says that the cease-fire lines are "not to be interpreted as political =
or territorial borders and their delineation in no way affects the =
rights, demands or positions of any of the parties to the cease-fire =
agreements regarding the final disposition of the Palestine question." =
The subsequent UN resolutions are built on this one document, and defer =
to a political structure not yet established.=20
But what if the fence were built on the Green Line?
It wouldn't make any difference. The Palestinians have been =
offered borders in which to establish their state many times: In 1936 by =
the Peel Commission, then by the UN itself in 1947, then in many Israeli =
offers, the most recent one at Camp David in 2000 with Arafat, [Ehud] =
Barak and Bill Clinton. History teaches us that Palestinian policy is =
informed by an implicit refusal to accept the State of Israel. They =
won't change their tune this time either.=20
Israel says it's putting up the fence to defend against terrorism. =
It's a very serious direct measure, and one that makes one think that =
terrorism in general is not on the wane - not in this area, not in Iraq, =
where there are terrorist attacks every day, and not in the rest of the =
world, which is in a constant state of alert.=20
There are two kinds of terrorism, but, mind you, they're not in =
conflict and are often unified in their actions. The first kind is =
always armed with highly ideological means and is aimed at preserving =
existing tyrannies. The second, al-Qaida kind, is aimed at subjugating =
the entire Western world.=20
What do you make of the UN's transition from creator to prosecutor =
of the Jewish State?
Let's look at the facts.=20
First of all, Palestinian rhetoric hasn't changed since 1947. It =
still continues to reject the existence of a country it considers an =
enemy, a stranger in the region. Its schools, radio and television =
continue to teach incitement.=20
Now let's consider another Palestinian issue in which the UN is =
also involved: the refugee problem.=20
In pushing for the right of return, the Palestinians are =
essentially proposing the elimination of the Jewish state. And the UN =
has never proven that it differs from the Palestinians on the refugee =
question. History is very clear. In the last century, millions of =
refugees moved between war-torn countries. The most important migration =
was between India and Pakistan in 1947, which involved at least seven =
million people. In 1945 millions of people moved between Poland and East =
Germany, and all were resettled.=20
With the partition [and creation of the State of Israel], 725,000 =
Arab refugees were relocated, and the UN immediately created a fixed =
institution, [the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine =
Refugees in the Near East], which has literally prevented the =
Palestinians from resettling.=20
In 1929, Jews were killed or forced out of Hebron, and in 1948 =
others were killed or forced out of Jerusalem, but have you ever heard =
them referred to as refugees, protected by the UN? What about the =
800,000 Jews expelled from Arab countries? The UN never bothered with =
them.=20
I'd like to add that when on December 17, 1947 the Arab League =
rejected the resolution that established the partition - within the =
confines of international law, I might add - the UN didn't make a sound. =
Nor did it say a word when the Arab countries forbade Israelis of any =
religion from entering its borders - preventing even Muslims from making =
their obligatory pilgrimage to Mecca - and closed its borders to Jews =
regardless of their citizenship. Nor did the UN speak out when Jordan in =
1954 offered citizenship to any inhabitant of Palestine, except Jews.=20

5. QUOTES AND QUICK NOTES
"If Algeria introduced a resolution at the UN declaring that the =
Earth was flat and that Israel had flattened it, it would pass by a vote =
of 164 to 13 with 26 abstentions."
- Israel's late foreign minister, Abba Eban=20
-------------------------------------------------------------------------=
-
"Israel's fall is near, with Allah's help, and it is closer than =
they imagine. We will see victory with our very own eyes. Martyrdom is =
the ultimate desire of Palestine's elderly, young, and female young."
- Most wanted Hamas terrorist Mohammed Deif, speaking on a =
recording aired by Israel's Channel 2 TV March 8.=20

=93Yes, I will do it again if I can. When I put the suicide =
explosives belt on I felt very happy, very content. I was angry when =
they caught me because I was not able to be a martyr. I wanted to=85kill =
as many Israeli soldiers as possible. I chose the bus station because my =
brother blew himself up there."
--Obeida Khalil, a 27-year-old would-be woman suicide bomber, who =
was arrested by Israeli forces as she prepared to blow up a Tel Aviv bus =
station. There have been seven female Palestinian suicide bombers. =
Another 24, including Khalil, were stopped before they could strike. =
(Daily Telegraph, Feb. 26)=20

"Democracy tends to ignore, even deny, threats to its existence =
because it loathes doing what is needed to counter them. It awakens only =
when the danger becomes deadly, imminent, and evident. By then, either =
there is too little time left for it to save itself, of the price of =
survival has become crushingly high."
- Jean-Francois Revel, in his book How Democracies Perish=20

Barbara=20
Amiel - McLean's Magazine - March 08, 2004=20
<H4>Anti-Semitism is alive and sick -- and flourishing most=20
everywhere</H4>
<P><FONT color=3D#800000 size=3D+2>T</FONT>he past month has seen =
a fair=20
amount of activity on what the Nazis called "Judenfrage" or the =
"Jewish=20
Question." European Commission President Romano Prodi assured =
delegates to=20
an anti-Semitism conference in Brussels that there was absolutely =
no=20
similarity between Europe's current outbreak of anti-Semitic =
violence and=20
that of the thirties. The UN, having last fall voted that Israel's =
security fence was illegal, went to the International Court of =
Justice in=20
the Hague (without the consent or participation of Israel) to get =
its=20
position confirmed. Business as usual for the Chosen People.=20
<P>The term Jewish Question preceded Hitler. It first surfaced in =
England=20
in 1753. At issue was the highly controversial "Jew Bill" =
(officially=20
known as the Jewish Naturalization Bill) designed to give =
foreign-born=20
Jews in England the ability to acquire citizenship and some =
political=20
rights. The bill passed, only to be repealed a few months later, =
but the=20
phrase had entered the language.=20
<P>By the 19th century, the Jewish Question was shorthand for the =
Jewish=20
Problem, which had been a subject of debate for several thousand =
years.=20
What should we do with our Jews, asked Europe. What rights and =
place=20
should they have in society? Karl Marx gave birth to the Left's =
solution=20
in his essay "About the Jewish Question," which suggested a world =
without=20
Jews or Judaism. With this essay, Marx established the =
now-familiar=20
tradition of self-hatred among far-left Jews.=20
<P>Jews themselves debated The Question. Was there safety in =
assimilation=20
or in a homeland? Was it better to work for tolerance in your own =
society=20
or in Palestine? Europe muddled on, alternating decades of =
peaceful=20
co-existence with the cries of "Hep, hep, Juden verreck" (death to =
all=20
Jews). Like some terrible virus, the Jewish Question erupted =
sporadically,=20
mutating this way and that, but always retaining its base of =
primitive=20
fear and hatred.=20
<P>The 20th century came in with pogroms in Russia and Poland and =
carried=20
on into the Holocaust. This current is now expressed in the verbal =
pogroms=20
of the UN, which has effortlessly evolved into the world centre of =
anti-Semitism. Verbal pogroms are preferable to physical ones, of =
course:=20
unfortunately, one often leads to the other. The welcoming of a =
gun-toting=20
Yasser Arafat by the UN General Assembly in 1974 led, =
unsurprisingly,=20
straight to today's suicide bombers.=20
<P>In this context, last month's shenanigans are normal. Prodi's =
rejection=20
of any comparison to the thirties is based on his apparent view =
that the=20
current harassment of Jews is not state-sponsored. But all =
historical=20
parallels are slightly askew. History manifests itself in =
different ways.=20
There is no question that Jews in Europe, especially visible ones =
wearing=20
skullcaps -- or the uniforms of a Jewish soccer team in France -- =
face a=20
threat akin to that of the thirties. The only difference is that =
the worry=20
of being knocked down on the street comes not from another =
European as it=20
did in the thirties, but frequently, according to a =
yet-to-be-released EU=20
study, from a young Muslim who is either an immigrant or the son =
of one.=20
This makes little difference to the Jew attacked. Prodi's grasp of =
history, too, is defective: the pre-Hitler anti-Semitism of the =
Weimar=20
Republic was not state policy but private enterprise.=20
<P>The construction of Israel's security fence has been a splendid =
opportunity for various organizations and individuals to make a =
periodic=20
emergence from their closets on the Jewish Question. The =
International=20
Committee of the Red Cross abandoned its neutrality to condemn the =
fence=20
and engage in a bit of Israel-bashing. Liberal MP Pat O'Brien from =
London,=20
Ont., joined the bandwagon with his Commons remarks suggesting the =
fence=20
has created "concentration camps."=20
<P>It is sophistry to call such attitudes legitimate political =
criticism=20
and not plain old anti-Semitism. Standards are being used here =
that are=20
applicable only to Israel and to no other party in the conflict. =
In the=20
face of murderous hostility to its existence, Israel is expected =
to behave=20
with a suicidal restraint unequalled by any other country in the =
world.=20
The crowds marching in London's Trafalgar Square or the West =
Bank's=20
Ramallah with their "Death to the Jews" signs have at least none =
of the=20
sophistry of Canadian parliamentarians. But what those crowds do=20
demonstrate, vividly, is how the virus of anti-Semitism jumped =
from Europe=20
to the Islamic world and then, under the camouflage of the =
Arab-Israeli=20
conflict, back to a receptive Europe for reinfection.=20
<P>Meanwhile, critics of the fence say they would not object if =
Israel=20
would build it along the 1949 border (the Green line). To do this, =
Israel=20
would be unilaterally accepting Palestinian demands without =
getting=20
anything in return -- neither a cessation of terrorism nor an =
undertaking=20
of peace.=20
<P>Suicide bombers, unfortunately, use strategic farmers' groves =
and roads=20
to hospitals to infiltrate Israel. There seems to be an obdurate =
blindness=20
to the fact that rejectionist Arabs and Muslims refuse to accept =
the=20
existence of the state of Israel within any borders.=20
<P>So the Jewish Question rumbles on. It may be the price Jews =
must pay=20
for their covenant with Jehovah: for having gone on existing while =
other=20
nations from Biblical times have turned to dust. Is it worth the =
price? It=20
is unseemly to have second thoughts about a deal made with God.=20

Jewish civilians get deliberately blown up by Arabs on buses or in =

We're then told that all of this starts in the first place because =
of=20
Israeli "oppression", a.k.a. measures Jews take to try to stop =
Arabs from=20
butchering their kids. Consider the following sequence of events.=20
<P>A while back, Molly Moore of the Washington Post reported on =
progress=20
in talks between Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and the Palestinian=20
Authority's Mahmoud Abbas. In passing, she quoted from Hamas =
spokesman,=20
Abdul Aziz Rantisi, who held out the possibility of halting terror =
against=20
Israelis. This, "of course," was contingent on Israel first =
stopping all=20
actions it has been forced to take to stop the murder itself.=20
<P>A few days earlier, we had heard that certain U.S. "officials"=20
(translate as State Department) pondered that in acknowledging =
Israeli=20
concerns regarding the Road Map, new disputes with the Arabs would =
surface.=20
<P>This is true. Consider the current debate and pressure being =
exerted=20
upon Israel over the course of its security fence as just one =
example.=20
<P>Arabs think they're going to shove the pre-'67 =
Auschwitz/armistice=20
lines down Israel's throat again. Among other things, Israel was =
made a=20
mere nine miles wide by those U.N.-imposed lines. The latter =
simply marked=20
the point where hostilities ended after the Arab invasion of a=20
newly-reborn Israel in 1948.=20
<P>As Eugene Rostow and other leading international legal scholars =
have=20
pointed out, those armistice lines, especially in Judea and =
Samaria =96 the=20
"West Bank" =96 were never meant to be permanent borders. Indeed, =
some Texas=20
driveways are reputed to be longer than that. Most of Israel's =
population=20
and industry lies within that narrow waistband.=20
<P>Palestinian Arabs and their European, Russian, United Nations, =
and=20
other supporters (including friends in Foggy Bottom) are looking =
for a=20
virtual resurrection of the Oslo debacle. In Oslo I, the more =
Israel=20

this will not again be the case, Sharon =96 or any other Israeli =

could not accept this so-called new plan for peace. Indeed, the =
Road Map=20
now appears dead in its tracks because the Arabs have refused to =
do the=20
one thing that could breathe life into it =96 stop the slaughter =
of Jews.=20
<P>Let's get something straight right from the start. The problems =
that=20
both Abbas and Rantisi had earlier cited =96 Israeli incursions, =
assaults,=20
checkpoints, travel restrictions, and other measures that =
admittedly cause=20
inconvenience and frustration =96 were eggs laid and hatched as a =
result of=20
Arab rejectionist hens raised on both of their farms. The =
Palestinian=20
Authority and Hamas have simply been playing a game of good =
cop/bad cop=20
with the Jews to win as many one-sided concessions as possible. =
"Moderate"=20
PA spokesmen have described Oslo as a "Trojan Horse."=20
<P>Camp David 2000 and Taba clearly showed that occupation and =
settlements=20
were not the problem. While it's been said many times, it must be =
repeated=20
yet again:=20
<P>Israel indeed offered Yasser Arafat over 97% of the disputed=20
territories, along with half of Jerusalem, etc. Ambassador Dennis =
Ross was=20
there and confirmed the offer for a contiguous state =96 not =
"disconnected=20
cantons" as anti-Israel attack dogs now claim.=20
<P>The sticky point both then and now was/is the existence of a =
viable=20
Israel, regardless of size. Arabs continue to kill not to "end =
occupation"=20
=96 unless one understands that to mean Tel Aviv as well as Hebron =
=96 but to=20
end Israel. A mere look at either PA or Hamas websites quickly =
illustrates=20
this. There is no Israel present in maps on either site, and =
"Palestine"=20
exists in place of Israel, not alongside it.=20
<P>Arabs blow up Jewish innocents on buses, in pizza parlors, teen =
night=20
clubs, etc. because, in too many Arab eyes, no Jew living in a =
Jewish=20
state is innocent.=20
<P>How dare Israeli Jews, half of whom were refugees themselves =
from=20
"Arab" lands (where they were known as kelbi yahudi - "Jew dogs"), =
want in=20
one minuscule state what Arabs have conquered and forcibly =
Arabized for=20

same=20
reasons =96 a belief that only they have the right to rule lands =
where many=20
different peoples have historically lived and live.=20
<P>Regardless of the chants of the popular anti-Israel chorus, =
there is no=20
moral equivalency between those who murder and those who try to =
prevent=20
their loved ones from being murdered. And that's what Israel's=20
reservations over the Road Map are basically all about and why =
Israel is=20
building its costly security fence.=20
<P>After 9/11, the United States didn't negotiate with Al-Qaida or =

Al-Qaida had its gripes with America, too, but that didn't lead us =

"accommodation" with those who butchered our people.=20
<P>So, a piece of advice. The next time you read some columnist=20

orchestrated leak to=20
the press, Thursday Ma'ariv reported the details of the unilateral =
withdrawal plan drafted for Prime Minister Ariel Sharon by his =
National=20
Security Council. The plan involves the expulsion of Israelis not =
only=20
from the Gush Katif, Kfar Darom and Netzarim in Gaza, but also =
from up to=20
25 additional towns in Judea and Samaria. According to the plan, =
the towns=20
in Gaza that are set to be vacated will be transferred to an =
unidentified=20
"somebody."=20
<P>So now it is clear that the plan that Sharon has so far refused =
to=20
present to his cabinet is not simply about a unilateral withdrawal =
from=20
the Gaza Strip. It is also about a unilateral withdrawal from =
Judea and=20
Samaria. The fact that the prime minister has decided to shorten =
the=20
security fence by some 170 kilometers to make it more or less =
coterminous=20
with the 1949 armistice lines is further evidence that what Sharon =
has in=20
mind is an Israeli surrender of just about all of the disputed =
territories=20
to "somebody."=20
<P>The NSC's plan also lists the obvious security vulnerabilities =
inherent=20
in the unilateral withdrawal. These dangers include "an increase =
in=20
terror; a disintegration of the Palestinian regime; a Hamas =
takeover of=20
the Gaza Strip; a humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian =
territories that=20
Israel will be sucked into; an adjustment of terror organizations =
to the=20
new circumstances with renewal of operations at a raised tempo; =
and damage=20
to Israeli intelligence capabilities in the aftermath of the =
withdrawal."=20
<P>Sharon's political machinations over the past few weeks =
indicate he is=20
committed to moving forward with this plan regardless of =
consequences.=20
Again, through orchestrated media leaks, we learned this week that =
he has=20
already concluded negotiations with Labor Party leader Shimon =
Peres for=20
Labor, a party resoundingly rejected by the voters in last year's=20
elections, to join his government after he forces the National =
Union and=20
the NRP to bolt his coalition.=20
<P>Sharon has also leaked that he is considering bringing Shas =
into his=20
government, perhaps as a result of a projected breakup of the =
Likud=20
itself. Sources in the Likud have noted that the anti-withdrawal =
block=20
already includes the legally required 15 MKs who together can =
leave the=20
party and form a new parliamentary faction.=20
<P>While our elected officials have so far received no opportunity =
to=20
debate or vote on Sharon's plan in the cabinet (and have =
disgracefully=20
demanded none), Sharon is aggressively promoting it to foreigners, =
with=20
whose help he plans to push it through his government as a fait =
accompli.=20
With the enthusiastic backing of our media, Sharon is engaging the =
Egyptian and US governments in in-depth discussions about the role =
they=20
will play in implementing his plan.=20
<P>After his meeting Thursday with Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom, =
Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak agreed to amend the limitations =
placed on=20
Egyptian military deployments in the Sinai by the Camp David Peace =
Accord=20
and deploy units to man the border between Gaza and Egypt. As for =
Hamas,=20
Mubarak told Israeli reporters that the movement is not his =
problem. "I=20
don't want to talk about Hamas or any other organization. It's not =
my=20
business. The Palestinians must bring security. As for Hamas, you =
created=20
it," Mubarak said.=20
<P>As for the Bush administration, Sharon hopes that the removal =
of Jews=20
from up to 25 towns in Judea and Samaria will convince the =
president and=20
his advisers to accept what former President Bill Clinton proposed =
in=20
2000, namely an American acceptance of Israeli civilian presence =
in Gush=20
Etzion, Ariel and the Adumim bloc communities. Since negotiations =
are=20
still ongoing, it is unclear whether President Bush will go as far =
as=20
Clinton would have.=20
<P>One of the most noteworthy aspects of the Sharon plan is how =
closely it=20
follows the model of the Oslo Accords. Like the current =
initiative, the=20
Oslo Accord was sold to the Israeli public as a way to withdraw =
from the=20
hornet's nest of Gaza. The fact that Judea and Samaria were also =
being=20
given away was aggressively downplayed by both the Rabin-Peres =
government=20
and the media. Like the current plan, Oslo was negotiated without=20
government or military oversight. Like the current plan, the =
dangers=20
inherent in Oslo were known before the agreement was signed.=20
<P>On the other hand, in many respects Oslo was better than what =
Sharon is=20
currently advocating. In 1993, the government had the luxury of =
innocence.=20
It can be argued that both Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres believed =
that=20
the PLO was a reasonable partner that would abide by its =
commitments to=20
live at peace with Israel, combat terrorism and educate =
Palestinian=20
society to live in peace with the Jewish state. This is not the =
case=20
today. We already know that we have no credible Palestinian =
partner.=20
<P>Oslo also provided us with diplomatic openings to many =
countries and=20
enhanced Israel's diplomatic standing generally for a time. In the =
case of=20
the Sharon plan, no such dividend is in the offing. The position =
of the=20
international community remains that the plan cannot cancel the =
future=20
need for additional concessions in Judea and Samaria and leaves =
the issues=20
of Jerusalem and Palestinian refugees on the table.=20
<P>In addition, Oslo entailed the continued deployment of IDF =
troops in=20
Judea, Samaria and Gaza. It also allowed the retention of an =
Israeli=20
civilian presence in the territories and placed no restrictions on =
the=20
right of that Israeli civilian presence to grow and develop =
freely.=20
<P>Sharon's program allows for none of these things. The IDF will =
be=20
redeployed out of Gaza and, it can be assumed, much of Judea and =
Samaria.=20
We also know that when the Palestinians continue to attack us, the =
Europeans and the Americans will pressure our government "to =
exercise=20
restraint" in responding. We know that the Egyptians will take no=20
effective action to curb these assaults and we know that at the UN =
and=20
other international fora, Israel will be condemned for taking any =
actions=20
whatsoever to defend our citizenry from terrorist assault =
emanating from=20
the areas under the control of "somebody."=20
<P>Aside from the policy parallels to Oslo, Sharon's plan shares =
an=20
additional similarity to Rabin's gamble. As was the case with =
Rabin,=20
Sharon has offered his plan at a time when he was under no =
international=20
pressure whatsoever to do anything of the sort. Rabin moved on =
Oslo=20
because he wished to shore up his credibility domestically. In the =
1992=20
elections he had promised to achieve an agreement "within a year." =
<P>The clock was ticking, so he moved. In Sharon's case, he has =
his legal=20
woes and his sinking numbers in the polls to consider, so he too =
moves.=20
<P>The most stunning aspect of this plan is the fact that it is =
being=20
advanced at the same time as another Middle East peace plan that =
actually=20
could bring about a long term change for the better in our region. =
This=20
plan, the Bush administration's Greater Middle East Initiative, =
involves=20
pressuring Arab dictatorships like Egypt's to democratize. The =
very=20
existence of the US initiative has already caused shockwaves =
throughout=20
the Arab world. It is empowering voices of freedom from Damascus =
to Mecca=20
to Cairo. For the first time, these voices are getting picked up =
by=20
Western news organizations which for years stood by as they were =
repressed=20
and silenced.=20
<P>Iraq this week took the incredible step of ratifying a =
constitution=20
that will make the country the first Arab democracy ever. The =
potential=20
repercussions of a stable pro-Western Ir! aqi democracy on the =
region are=20
enormous.=20
<P>And yet, again according to leaks to the press, we learn that =
Egypt=20
will be paid off by the US for its declared willingness to deploy =
its=20
military forces along the border. One can only assume that the =
price that=20
Mubarak will exact is an American pledge not to apply even the =
slightest=20
pressure on him to free his people from the yoke of his =
dictatorship.=20
<P>For decades Likud leaders, from Begin to Shamir to Netanyahu, =
argued=20
that the only way for Israel to ever live at peace with its =
neighbors is=20
for these neighbors to become democracies. Since Israel has no =
power to=20
force such a change, over the years, these leaders were subject to =
ridicule and calumny. Their belief in democracy was criticized as =
a tactic=20
to forestall negotiations with the PLO and with the =
presidents-for-life in=20
Egypt and Syria.=20
<P>Yet, while Israel has no power to cause our neighbors to choose =
freedom=20
and democracy, the US has such power. And today, rather than =
allowing the=20
Bush administration to use this power, Sharon's wooing of Mubarak =
pulls=20
the rug out from under an initiative that presents the only real =
chance of=20
bringing peace and security to Israel in a way that can meet both =
the Arab=20
and the Israeli needs.=20
<P>Not surprisingly, the US plan was long debated both openly in =
the US=20
press and behind closed doors. It was publicly launched by the =
president.=20
The plan's credibility rests on the credibility the US gained in =
the Arab=20
world as a result of its military victory in Iraq. If successful, =
it will=20
advance US national security interests in the region by drying up =
the=20
swamps of extremism that flourish in the darkness of totalitarian =
regimes.=20
If it fails, the US is no worse off than it is today. That is, the =
plan is=20
low risk and entails a potentially enormous payoff.=20
<P>In sharp contrast, Sharon's plan is being advanced despite its =
high=20
risks and unclear payoffs. It strengthens our enemies among the=20
Palestinians. It enhances Mubarak's regional strength and =
reputation at=20
the expense of the American sponsored nascent Iraqi democracy. It=20
emboldens the Europeans and it pushes the US into a position where =
in the=20
interests of "progress" in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict it =
will be=20
forced to undermine a plan that can actually bring peace.=20
<P>And all of this it does while manipulating the Israeli people, =

government we rejected a year ago and a plan far worse than the =
one we=20
were bamboozled into accepting 11 years ago.=20

<P><B>What do you make of the UN's transition from creator to =

<P>First of all, Palestinian rhetoric hasn't changed since 1947. =
It still=20

enemy, a=20
stranger in the region. Its schools, radio and television continue =
to=20

<P>Now let's consider another Palestinian issue in which the UN is =
also=20
involved: the refugee problem.=20
<P>In pushing for the right of return, the Palestinians are =
essentially=20
proposing the elimination of the Jewish state. And the UN has =
never proven=20
that it differs from the Palestinians on the refugee question. =
History is=20
very clear. In the last century, millions of refugees moved =
between=20
war-torn countries. The most important migration was between India =
and=20
Pakistan in 1947, which involved at least seven million people. In =
1945=20
millions of people moved between Poland and East Germany, and all =
were=20
resettled.=20
<P>With the partition [and creation of the State of Israel], =
725,000 Arab=20
refugees were relocated, and the UN immediately created a fixed=20
institution, [the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for =
Palestine=20
Refugees in the Near East], which has literally prevented the =
Palestinians=20
from resettling.=20
<P>In 1929, Jews were killed or forced out of Hebron, and in 1948 =
others=20
were killed or forced out of Jerusalem, but have you ever heard =
them=20
referred to as refugees, protected by the UN? What about the =
800,000 Jews=20

<P>I'd like to add that when on December 17, 1947 the Arab League =
rejected=20
the resolution that established the partition - within the =
confines of=20
international law, I might add - the UN didn't make a sound. Nor =
did it=20
say a word when the Arab countries forbade Israelis of any =

obligatory pilgrimage to Mecca - and closed its borders to Jews =
regardless=20
