1. WHY NO CHRISTIAN SUICIDE BOMBERS?
...and other thoughts on Islamic terror
Dennis Prager - townhall.com - April 6, 2004=20
Golly gee, Muslim terrorists tried to attack Madrid again. How can =
that be? Wasn't Muslim terror in Spain supposed to end once Spain =
appeased the terrorists by voting in the socialists?=20
Only those who do not understand Muslim terror could fool =
themselves into believing that.=20
So, to better understand the subject, I offer three conclusions I =
drew about terror during my week of broadcasting from Israel last month. =
First, Islamic terror is caused by Muslims, not, as Islamic and =
leftist apologists would have it, by the non-Muslims against whom it is =
directed. In our morally confused world, Spain, Israel and America are =
blamed for having their men, women and children blown up: What did these =
countries do to arouse such enmity among otherwise tolerant Arabs and =
Muslims?=20
Palestinian terror provides the answer. About 25 percent of =
Palestinians are Christian, yet if there are any Palestinian Christian =
suicide bombers, I am unaware of them. Now why is that? Don't Muslim and =
leftist apologists incessantly tell us that the reason for Palestinian =
terror is "Israeli occupation and oppression"? Why, then, are there no =
Palestinian Christian terrorists? Are Christian Palestinians less =
occupied?=20
The answer is obvious. There is Palestinian terror for the same =
reasons there is Muslim terror elsewhere. A significant part of the =
Muslim world wishes to destroy those non-Muslims -- Americans, Israelis, =
Filipinos, Nigerians, Sudanese blacks -- who prevent Islam from =
violently attaining power.=20
Palestinian Muslim terror emanates from a desire to destroy =
Israel, not to end Israel's occupation of the West Bank. Other Muslim =
terror is aimed at weakening the West, America in particular, so that =
militant theocratic Islam can dominate Muslim-majority societies and =
then take over other societies, as it is slowly doing in Western Europe. =
Second, despite the Spanish cave-in to terror, in the long run, =
terror doesn't work. By any rational calculation, to take the =
Palestinian example, it has become the most self-destructive policy =
Palestinians could pursue. Palestinian terror has convinced almost all =
Israelis outside of academia that the moral gulf between them and the =
Palestinians is so wide that there is presently no hope for peace.=20
Nor has Palestinian terror terrorized Israelis. In what will =
surely be recorded as among the most impressive behaviors of a national =
group, Israelis have decided to live as normally as possible among =
people who aim to murder and maim as many of them as possible. In fact, =
I learned, many Israelis are now concerned that they have done this too =
well, that there is not enough mourning and rage after each atrocity.=20
Palestinian terror is self-destructive because it has morally, =
economically, religiously and politically destroyed Palestinian society =
and led to its present state of chaos. The mayor of Nablus resigned two =
months ago, declaring that gangs of thugs now govern Palestinian =
society. Any society that encourages terror ends up consumed by it. Ask =
the Saudis.=20
Third, there is a terrible long-term price that Muslims, Arabs and =
Palestinians in particular are paying for the minority that engages in =
terror and for the majority that says nothing about it or supports it.=20
They may wish to reflect on the fact that with every act of terror =
they engage in, their people and religion are increasingly identified =
with cruelty. Can anyone anywhere name any Palestinian contribution to =
humanity other than innovative forms of terror and cruelty? On my radio =
show, the spokesman of Zaka, the Israeli rescue squad that attends to =
terror victims, told me that at various times Palestinian terrorists =
have laced the screws attached to their bombs with rat poison, and that =
at least one of the Palestinian terrorists was injected with the AIDS =
virus in the hope that his blood would transmit AIDS to wounded =
Israelis.=20
Just as the German nation, fairly or not, has had to grapple with =
the moral legacy of Nazism, and the name of Christianity still suffers =
(unfairly) because of medieval persecutions of non-Christians, so, too, =
Islam, Arabs and Palestinians will have to struggle for generations to =
shed their identification with murdering innocents.=20
While it is Americans, Israelis and other targets of terror who =
most suffer individually from Palestinian and other Muslim terror, those =
with the most to lose are Palestinians, Arabs and Islam.=20

The Mountains of Israel -=20

perspective on the Arab-Israeli conflict, clearly outlining how God is =
fulfilling His Word in modern-day Israel. It is highly suitable for the =
beginning reader on Israel and for those who have studied Israel from a =
Scriptural perspective for years.

2. THE MIRROR OF FALLUJAH
No more passes and excuses for the Middle East
By Victor Davis Hanson - April 4, 2004=20
What are we to make of scenes from the eighth-century in Fallujah? =
Random murder, mutilation of the dead, dismemberment, televised gore, =
and pride in stringing up the charred corpses of those who sought to =
bring food to the hungry? Perhaps we can shrug and say all this is the =
wage of Saddam Hussein and the thirty years of brutality of his =
Baathists that institutionalized such barbarity? Or was the carnage the =
dying scream of Baathist hold-outs intent on shocking the Western world =
at home watching it live? We could speculate for hours.=20
Yet I fear that we have not seen anything new. Flip through the =
newspaper and the stories are as depressing as they are monotonous: =
bombs in Spain; fiery clerics promising death in England, even as =
explosive devices are uncovered in France. In-between accounts of =
bombings in Iraq, we get the normal murdering in Israel, and daily =
assassination in Pakistan, Turkey, Morocco, and Chechnya. Murder, =
dismemberment, torture=97these all seem to be the acceptable tools of =
Islamic fundamentalism and condoned as part of justifiable Middle East =
rage. Sheik Yassin is called a poor crippled =93holy man=94 who ordered =
the deaths of hundreds, as revered in the Arab World for his mass murder =
as Jerry Falwell is condemned in the West for his occasional slipshod =
slur about Muslims.=20
Yet the hourly killing is perhaps not merely the wages of =
autocracy, but part of a larger grotesquery of Islamic fundamentalism on =
display. The Taliban strung up infidels from construction cranes and =
watched, like Romans of old, gory stoning and decapitations in soccer =
stadiums built with UN largess. In the last two years, Palestinian mobs =
have torn apart Israeli soldiers, lynched their own, wired children with =
suicide bombing vests, and machine-gunned down women and =
children=97between sickening scenes of smearing themselves with the =
blood of =93martyrs.=94 Very few Arab intellectuals or holy men have =
condemned such viciousness.=20
Daniel Pearl had his head cut off on tape; an American diplomat =
was riddled with bullets in Jordan. Or should we turn to Lebanon and =
gaze at the work of Hezbollah=97its posters of decapitated Israeli =
soldiers proudly on display? Some will interject that the Saudis are not =
to be forgotten=97whose religious police recently allowed trapped school =
girls to be incinerated rather than have them leave the flaming building =
unescorted, engage in public amputations, and behead adulteresses. But =
Mr. Assad erased from memory the entire town of Hama. And why pick on =
Saddam Hussein, when earlier Mr. Nasser, heartthrob to the Arab masses, =
gassed Yemenis? The Middle-East coffee houses cry about the creation of =
Israel and the refugees on the West Bank only to snicker that almost =
1,000,000 Jews were ethnically cleansed from the Arab world.=20
And then there is the rhetoric. Where else in the world do =
mainstream newspapers talk of Jews as the children of pigs and apes? And =
how many wacky Christian or Hindu fundamentalists advocate about the =
mass murder of Jews or promise death to the infidel? Does a Western =
leader begin his peroration with =93O evil infidel=94 or does Mr. Sharon =
talk of =93virgins=94 and =93blood-stained martyrs?=94=20
Conspiracy theory in the West is the domain of Montana =
survivalists and Chomsky-like wackos; in the Arab world it is the staple =
of the state-run media. This tired strophe and antistrophe of threats =
and retractions, and braggadocio and obsequiousness grates on the world =
at large. So Hamas threatens to bring the war to the United States, and =
then back peddles and says not really. So the Palestinians warn American =
diplomats that they are not welcome on the soil of the West Bank=97as if =
any wish to return when last there they were murdered trying to extend =
scholarships to Palestinian students.=20
I am sorry, but these toxic fumes of the Dark-Ages permeate =
everywhere. It won=92t do any more simply to repeat quite logical =
exegeses. Without consensual government, the poor Arab Middle East is =
caught in the throes of rampant unemployment, illiteracy, statism, and =
corruption. Thus in frustration it vents through its state-run media =
invective against Jews and Americans to assuage the shame and pain. =
Whatever.=20
But at some point the world is asking: =93Is Mr. Assad or Hussein, =
the Saudi Royal Family, or a Khadafy really an aberration=97all rogues =
who hijacked Arab countries=97or are they the logical expression of a =
tribal patriarchal society whose frequent tolerance of barbarism is in =
fact reflected in its leadership? Are the citizens of Fallujah the =
victims of Saddam, or did folk like this find their natural identity =
expressed in Saddam? Postcolonial theory and victimology argue that =
European colonialism, Zionism, and petrodollars wrecked the Middle East. =
But to believe that one must see India in shambles, Latin America under =
blanket autocracy, and an array of suicide bombers pouring out of Mexico =
or Nigeria. South Korea was a moonscape of war when oil began gushing =
out of Iraq and Saudi Arabia; why is it now exporting cars while the =
latter are exporting death? Apartheid was far worse than the Shah=92s =
modernization program; yet why did South Africa renounce nuclear weapons =
while the Mullahs cheated on every UN protocol they could?=20
No, there is something peculiar to the Middle East that worries =
the world. The Arab world for years has promulgated a quite successful =
media image as perennial victims=97proud folks, suffering under a series =
of foreign burdens, while nobly maintaining their grace and hospitality. =
Middle-Eastern Studies programs in the United States and Europe =
published an array of mostly dishonest accounts of Western culpability, =
sometimes Marxist, sometimes anti-Semitic that were found to be useful =
intellectual architecture for the edifice of panArabism, as if =
Palestinians or Iraqis shared the same oppressions, the same hopes, and =
the same ideals as downtrodden American people of color=97part of a =
universal =93other=94 deserving victim status and its attendant blanket =
moral exculpation. But the curtain has been lifted since 9-11 and the =
picture we see hourly now is not pretty.=20
Imagine an Olympics in Cairo? Or an international beauty pageant =
in Riyadh? Perhaps an interfaith world religious congress would like to =
meet in Teheran? Surely we could have the World Cup in Beirut? Is there =
a chance to have a World Bank conference in Ramallah or Tripoli? Maybe =
Damascus could host a conference of the world=92s neurosurgeons?=20
And then there is the asymmetry of it all. Walk in hushed tones by =
a mosque in Iraq, yet storm and desecrate the Church of the Nativity in =
the West Bank with impunity. Blow up and assassinate Westerners with =
unconcern; yet scream that Muslims are being questioned about =
immigration status in New York. Damn the West as you try to immigrate =
there; try to give the Middle East a fair shake while you prefer never =
to visit such a place. Threaten with death and fatwa any speaker or =
writer who =93impugns=94 Islam, demand from Western intellectuals =
condemnation of any Christians who speak blasphemously of the Koran.=20
I have purchased Israeli agricultural implements, computer parts, =
and read books translated from the Hebrew; so far, nothing in the =
contemporary Arab world has been of much value in offering help to the =
people of the world in science, agriculture, or medicine. When there is =
news of 200 murdered in Madrid or Islamic mass-murdering of Christians =
in the Sudan, or suicide bombing in Israel, we no longer look for =
moderate mullahs and clerics to come forward in London or New York to =
condemn it. They rarely do. And if we might hear a word of reproof, it =
is always qualified by the ubiquitous =93but=94=97followed by a litany =
of qualifiers about Western colonialism, Zionism, racism, and hegemony =
that have the effects of making the condemnation either meaningless or =
in fact a sort of approval.=20
Yet it is not just the violence, the boring threats, the constant =
televised hatred, the temper-tantrums of fake intellectuals on =
televisions, the hypocrisy of anti-Western Arabs haranguing America and =
Europe from London or Boston, or even the pathetic shouting and =
fist-shaking of the ubiquitous Arab street. Rather the global village is =
beginning to see that the violence of the Middle East is not aberrant, =
but logical. Its misery is not a result of exploitation or colonialism, =
but self-induced. Its fundamentalism is not akin to that of reactionary =
Hinduism, Buddhism, or Christianity, but of an altogether different and =
much fouler brand.=20
The enemy of the Middle East is not the West so much as modernism =
itself and the humiliation that accrues when millions themselves are =
nursed by fantasies, hypocrisies, and conspiracies to explain their own =
failures. Quite simply, any society in which citizens owe their =
allegiance to the tribe rather than the nation, do not believe in =
democracy enough to institute it, shun female intellectual =
contributions, allow polygamy, insist on patriarchy, institutionalize =
religious persecution, ignore family planning, expect endemic =
corruption, tolerate honor killings, see no need to vote, and define =
knowledge as mastery of the Koran is deeply pathological.=20
When one adds to this depressing calculus that for all the =
protestations of Arab nationalism, Islamic purity and superiority, and =
whining about a decadent West, the entire region is infected with a =
burning desire for things Western=97from cell phones and computers to =
videos and dialysis, you have all the ingredients for utter disaster and =
chaos. How after all in polite conversation can you explain to an Arab =
intellectual that the GDP of Jordan or Morocco has something to do with =
an array of men in the early afternoon stuffed into coffee shops =
spinning conspiracy tales, drinking coffee, and playing board games =
while Japanese, Germans, Chinese, and American women and men are into =
their sixth hour on the job? Or how do you explain that while Taiwanese =
are studying logarithms, Pakistanis are chanting from the Koran in =
Dark-Age madrassas? And how do you politely point out that while the New =
York Times and Guardian chastise their own elected officials, the Arab =
news in Damascus or Cairo is free only to do the same to us?=20
I support the bold efforts of the United States to make a start in =
cleaning up this mess, in hopes that a Fallujah might one day exorcize =
its demons. But in the meantime, we should have no illusions about the =
enormity of our task, where every positive effort will be met with =
violence, fury, hypocrisy, and ingratitude.=20
If we are to try to bring some good to the Middle East, then we =
must first have the intellectual courage to confess that for the most =
part the pathologies embedded there are not merely the work of corrupt =
leaders but often the very people who put them in place and allowed them =
to continue their ruin.=20
So the question remains did Saddam create Fallujah or Fallujah =
Saddam?=20

3. 'TIME TO SMASH HAMAS IS NOW'
By Jerusalem Newswire Editorial Staff - April 9, 2004=20
One of Israel's most highly respected commentators on security =
affairs has urged the Sharon government to follow up hard on the heels =
of the Yassin execution and move quickly to smash the rest of the Hamas =
leadership.=20
Gainsaying other analysts, who have suggested that the Islamist =
group suffered a debilitating blow when its wheelchair bound sheikh was =
killed by an Israeli missile, Ehud Ya'ari warned that Hamas is set to =
strike "to the full extent of [its] capability" in order to "murder as =
many Israelis as it can."=20
Eighteen days after Yassin died, the apprehension that gripped =
Israel in the immediate aftermath of his killing - as Hamas leaders in =
Gaza and Damascus vowed an "earthquake of revenge" - appears to have =
dissipated.=20
A massive security alert that has been in place through the first =
half of the Passover week has successfully prevented any attacks, =
creating some sense of relief.=20
Ya'ari, however, fears a response will still be forthcoming if =
Hamas can get away with it, and says the group is doing all it can to =
succeed.=20
He contends strongly that, in confronting this threat, Israel's =
security forces must end its policy of "limited conflict."=20
They'll kill all they can
Writing in the latest edition of The Jerusalem Report the veteran =
journalist, author and commentator on Israel's security affairs, Ehud =
Ya'ari, declared that Hamas "will murder as many Israelis as it can" =
after the execution of its founder, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin.=20
Ya'ari said the terror group's "fiery rhetoric of revenge is =
reaching new peaks" and he believed it's members would strike Israel "to =
the full extent of their capability."=20
Hamas was making no secret of its plans, and had recently spoken =
on Hizballah radio of recruiting thousands of "suicide" bombers in order =
to carry out a large number of simultaneous attacks.=20
"This is not vain talk. Hamas is working flat out towards this =
end, with the funding, guidance and encouragement of Hizballah's Sheikh =
Nasrallah," Ya'ari wrote.=20
"The Hamas leadership's belief is that a series of blows of this =
kind would 'shock' Israel and bring this current round to its end game." =
Ya'ari described the group as having "no limitations" and said =
they remained intent on pulling off a mega-attack, something they have =
already attempted to do.=20
'Hamas-stan'
Contrasting Hamas in the Gaza Strip to its cadres in Judea and =
Samaria, Ya'ari said that, in the latter areas, Israel had succeeded in =
crushing 90 percent of the group's infrastructure.=20
In Gaza, however, Hamas was building up a "popular army" - a =
militia which, if allowed to establish itself, would become a =
"highly-motivated armed force to rival the puny security apparatuses of =
the Palestinian Authority."=20
As soon as it managed to put together thousands of fighters, this =
Hamas militia would turn the Gaza Strip into "Hamas-stan" - a terrorist =
terrain similar to the "Hizballahstan" that came into existence in =
southern Lebanon after Israel's hasty withdrawal from there.=20
No time to stop
Ya'ari, who appears regularly on Israeli television and is =
believed to have a lot of influence in the country, said the "worst =
mistake that Israel could now make would be to stop pursuit of the =
terror leaders."=20
The ranking Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip, Abdel Aziz Rantisi, =
and his top echelon of lieutenants did not believe Israel would err at =
this point, and had gone into hiding after Yassin was killed.=20
Knowing it had been dealt a body blow, Hamas would be doing =
everything in its power to pull off major attacks.=20
Should Prime Minister Ariel Sharon stop targeting the "terror =
contractors," Yassin's execution would come to represent the turning =
point, "at which Hamas realizes its dream of achieving a balance of =
terror against Israel," writes Ya'ari.=20
He argues that, since the start of the Oslo War, Israel had =
restrained its use of force and employed "selectivity and caution" in =
its pre-emptive actions.=20
This "credo of limited conflict" was believed by some in the =
military to actually be dragging out the conflict rather than ending it. =
For what Israel had been facing since the beginning was an "all-out =
confrontation."=20
In the light of Hamas' determination to score a major victory in =
its terror war, Israel dared not respond in "a hesitant, halting =
manner," said Ya'ari.=20
"It is time to keep the gloves off."

4. A GREATER EXODUS
Stan Goodenough - JNW Editorial - April 5, 2004=20
This week, the world's nearly 13 million Jews will once again =
"down tools" and gather in the homes of family and friends to celebrate =
their forefathers' liberation from Egyptian slavery more than 3,000 =
years ago.=20
The wondrous, well-worn account will be retold around Seder tables =
across Israel, and wherever Diaspora communities remain. Wide-eyed =
children will hear of the awful plagues inflicted upon Pharaoh, and will =
sing about the mind-blowing miracles God performed to secure the =
Israelites' freedom.=20
The Seder meal is always a time for rejoicing - even during =
difficult circumstances. That first Passover not only marked the failure =
of Pharaoh's efforts to kill off the children of Israel, but in a very =
real way also signaled the birth of the nation.=20
Such a high point was the Exodus in Israel's history that it has =
been commemorated without fail, every year and in every place the =
descendants of those Israelites have lived.=20
No amount of suffering and hopelessness - not even the horror of =
Hitler's Holocaust - could snuff out the hope it holds.=20
And yet, today, as they ask the question, "Why is this night =
different from all other nights?" desperation and fear threaten the Jews =
once more.=20
After surviving centuries of suffering, and finally finding haven =
in their ancient homeland, Israel's future as a nation seems endangered =
again.=20
Sixty-six years ago, they danced in the streets and sang with all =
their hearts "Am Yisrael Chai," (the nation of Israel lives).=20
While they still sing the words today, the conviction is fading, =
eroded by a combination of international efforts to divide up their =
land, and their own leaders' apparent determination to do so.=20
But Israel's hope has never been in man. It has always been, and =
remains, in their God.=20
As much as He watched over and ensured their eventual freedom from =
slavery all those centuries ago, He is watching over them today.=20
Today, Israel is in the midst of a second Exodus; an event that, =
according to the prophet Jeremiah, promises to eclipse the first.=20
Just as the first Exodus marked their liberation from Egypt, =
Israelis can take comfort in the fact that today's unfolding Exodus =
signals their salvation from the plots and plans of today's gentile =
world.=20
Few people recognize it. Few pay any attention. The immigration of =
Jews to Israel is hardly a media event. Yet Exodus II already dwarfs the =
one headed up by Moses.=20
Before it is over, it is going to impact the hearts and minds of =
the Jewish people in such a way that it will actually cause them to =
change a millennia-old tradition:=20
"Therefore behold, the days are coming," says the LORD, "that it =
shall no more be said, 'The LORD lives who brought up the children of =
Israel from the land of Egypt,' but, 'The LORD lives who brought up the =
children of Israel from the land of the north and from all the lands =
where He had driven them.' For I will bring them back into their land =
which I gave to their fathers=85" (Jeremiah 16:14-15)=20
Under Moses, God brought around two million Israelites out of =
bondage in Egypt.=20
The last century has seen Him bring more than four million Jews =
out of the captivity of the Diaspora in more than 100 countries, into =
the eternally Promised Land.=20
Today 5.5 million Jews call Israel home, and their land is the =
only place in the world where the Jewish population is growing, and not =
shrinking.=20
Since the rebirth of Israel, the country's Jewish population has =
grown more than eight-fold. Three million people have immigrated to =
Israel since 1948, with more than one million coming since 1990. Over =
30,000 immigrated in the past year.=20
To bring them home, the Almighty has used "fishermen" - like the =
emmisaries who went into 1930s Europe and warned the Jews to flee; and =
like those who have gone into the former Soviet Union where they, with =
love and compassion, helped those Jews who wanted to to come home.=20
The Lord has also used hunters - those who have shown their hatred =
of Israel and its people and, as in Europe today, rising anti-Semitism =
which is causing more and more Jews to consider making the move to =
Israel.=20
Being forced to flee, and at the same time seeing the place they =
want to go to itself increasingly in peril, this is enough to sow =
despair into the hearts of most Jews.=20
It should not do so.=20
The same God Who spoke to Moses out of the burning bush and =
promised to deliver His people out of Egypt has spoken through His =
prophets, promising Israel a future bright with hope.=20
"For I am the LORD, I do not change; therefore you are not =
consumed, O sons of Jacob." (Malachi 3:6)=20
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, =
thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. =
(Jeremiah 29:11)=20
It is the LORD God, not Great Britain, the United Nations, not =
even the United States that is responsible for the restoration of the =
Jews. And He has committed Himself to bring them as a nation back into =
relationship with their God:=20
"Behold, I will gather them out of all countries where I have =
driven them in My anger, in My fury, and in great wrath; I will bring =
them back to this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely. They =
shall be My people, and I will be their God; then I will give them one =
heart and one way, that they may fear Me forever, for the good of them =
and their children after them. 'And I will make an everlasting covenant =
with them, that I will not turn away from doing them good; but I will =
put My fear in their hearts so that they will not depart from Me. Yes, I =
will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will assuredly plant them =
in this land, with all My heart and with all My soul." (Jeremiah =
32:37-41)=20
Their return to their land is, this time, irreversible:=20
"I will plant them in their land, and no longer shall they be =
pulled up from the land I have given them," says the LORD your God. =
(Amos 9:15)=20
And it will be followed by one of the most astounding events ever =
to happen to any nation:=20
"When I have brought them back from the peoples and gathered them =
out of their enemies' lands, and I am hallowed in them in the sight of =
many nations, then they shall know that I am the LORD their God, who =
sent them into captivity among the nations, but also brought them back =
to their own land, and left none of them captive any longer. And I will =
not hide My face from them anymore; for I shall have poured out My =
Spirit on the house of Israel," says the Lord GOD. (Ezekiel 39:27-29)=20
It was not only be the people of Israel who were affected by the =
first Exodus. News of God's deliverance of them spread through the known =
world, putting fear into the hearts of those who would oppose the =
Israelites, and carrying the fame of the God of Israel far and wide.=20
So, too, is this latter-day Exodus set to impact the world, whose =
nations reject God now, but not for long:=20
The LORD has made bare His holy arm in the eyes of all the =
nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our =
God. (Isa 52:10)=20
"Thus I will magnify Myself and sanctify Myself, and I will be =
known in the eyes of many nations. Then they shall know that I am the =
LORD." (Ezek 38:23)=20
"So I will make My holy name known in the midst of My people =
Israel, and I will not let them profane My holy name anymore. Then the =
nations shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel." (Ezekiel =
39:7)=20
The United States, the United Nations, the European Union, the =
Arab League, the Movement of Non-Aligned Nations, Russia, China, and the =
Quartet - they will all know that the God of Israel, He is the Lord.=20

5. QUOTES AND QUICK NOTES
MAYOR OF LONDON: THROW SHARON IN JAIL
London Mayor Ken Livingstone, in an interview with The Guardian =
newspaper, called for throwing Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in a cell =
with former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic, for the Saudi Arabian =
royal family to be "swinging from lampposts," and for UK Prime Minister =
Tony Blair to press US President George W. Bush regarding Israel.=20
As for President Bush, though, "I'm not even sure he was aware =
there were any Palestinians before he was elected=85." Livingstone said. =
Furthermore, he explained, there cannot be peace in the Middle =

<H4>...and other thoughts on Islamic terror</H4>Dennis Prager -=20
townhall.com - April 6, 2004=20
<P><FONT color=3D#800000 size=3D+2>G</FONT>olly gee, Muslim =
terrorists tried=20
to attack Madrid again. How can that be? Wasn't Muslim terror in =
Spain=20
supposed to end once Spain appeased the terrorists by voting in =
the=20
socialists?=20
<P>Only those who do not understand Muslim terror could fool =
themselves=20
into believing that.=20
<P>So, to better understand the subject, I offer three conclusions =
I drew=20
about terror during my week of broadcasting from Israel last =
month.=20
<P>First, Islamic terror is caused by Muslims, not, as Islamic and =
leftist=20
apologists would have it, by the non-Muslims against whom it is =
directed.=20
In our morally confused world, Spain, Israel and America are =
blamed for=20
having their men, women and children blown up: What did these =
countries do=20
to arouse such enmity among otherwise tolerant Arabs and Muslims?=20
<P>Palestinian terror provides the answer. About 25 percent of=20
Palestinians are Christian, yet if there are any Palestinian =
Christian=20
suicide bombers, I am unaware of them. Now why is that? Don't =
Muslim and=20
leftist apologists incessantly tell us that the reason for =
Palestinian=20
terror is "Israeli occupation and oppression"? Why, then, are =
there no=20
Palestinian Christian terrorists? Are Christian Palestinians less=20
occupied?=20
<P>The answer is obvious. There is Palestinian terror for the same =
reasons=20
there is Muslim terror elsewhere. A significant part of the Muslim =
world=20
wishes to destroy those non-Muslims -- Americans, Israelis, =
Filipinos,=20
Nigerians, Sudanese blacks -- who prevent Islam from violently =
attaining=20
power.=20
<P>Palestinian Muslim terror emanates from a desire to destroy =
Israel, not=20
to end Israel's occupation of the West Bank. Other Muslim terror =
is aimed=20
at weakening the West, America in particular, so that militant =
theocratic=20
Islam can dominate Muslim-majority societies and then take over =
other=20
societies, as it is slowly doing in Western Europe.=20
<P>Second, despite the Spanish cave-in to terror, in the long run, =
terror=20
doesn't work. By any rational calculation, to take the Palestinian =
example, it has become the most self-destructive policy =
Palestinians could=20
pursue. Palestinian terror has convinced almost all Israelis =
outside of=20
academia that the moral gulf between them and the Palestinians is =
so wide=20
that there is presently no hope for peace.=20
<P>Nor has Palestinian terror terrorized Israelis. In what will =
surely be=20
recorded as among the most impressive behaviors of a national =
group,=20
Israelis have decided to live as normally as possible among people =
who aim=20
to murder and maim as many of them as possible. In fact, I =
learned, many=20
Israelis are now concerned that they have done this too well, that =
there=20
is not enough mourning and rage after each atrocity.=20
<P>Palestinian terror is self-destructive because it has morally,=20
economically, religiously and politically destroyed Palestinian =
society=20
and led to its present state of chaos. The mayor of Nablus =
resigned two=20
months ago, declaring that gangs of thugs now govern Palestinian =
society.=20
Any society that encourages terror ends up consumed by it. Ask the =
Saudis.=20
<P>Third, there is a terrible long-term price that Muslims, Arabs =
and=20
Palestinians in particular are paying for the minority that =
engages in=20
terror and for the majority that says nothing about it or supports =
it.=20
<P>They may wish to reflect on the fact that with every act of =
terror they=20
engage in, their people and religion are increasingly identified =
with=20
cruelty. Can anyone anywhere name any Palestinian contribution to =
humanity=20
other than innovative forms of terror and cruelty? On my radio =
show, the=20
spokesman of Zaka, the Israeli rescue squad that attends to terror =
victims, told me that at various times Palestinian terrorists have =
laced=20
the screws attached to their bombs with rat poison, and that at =
least one=20
of the Palestinian terrorists was injected with the AIDS virus in =
the hope=20
that his blood would transmit AIDS to wounded Israelis.=20
<P>Just as the German nation, fairly or not, has had to grapple =
with the=20
moral legacy of Nazism, and the name of Christianity still suffers =
(unfairly) because of medieval persecutions of non-Christians, so, =
too,=20
Islam, Arabs and Palestinians will have to struggle for =
generations to=20
shed their identification with murdering innocents.=20
<P>While it is Americans, Israelis and other targets of terror who =
most=20
suffer individually from Palestinian and other Muslim terror, =
those with=20
the most to lose are Palestinians, Arabs and Islam.=20

government=20
to follow up hard on the heels of the Yassin execution and move =
quickly to=20
smash the rest of the Hamas leadership.=20
<P>Gainsaying other analysts, who have suggested that the Islamist =
group=20
suffered a debilitating blow when its wheelchair bound sheikh was =
killed=20
by an Israeli missile, Ehud Ya'ari warned that Hamas is set to =
strike "to=20
the full extent of [its] capability" in order to "murder as many =
Israelis=20
as it can."=20
<P>Eighteen days after Yassin died, the apprehension that gripped =
Israel=20
in the immediate aftermath of his killing - as Hamas leaders in =
Gaza and=20
Damascus vowed an "earthquake of revenge" - appears to have =
dissipated.=20
<P>A massive security alert that has been in place through the =
first half=20
of the Passover week has successfully prevented any attacks, =
creating some=20
sense of relief.=20
<P>Ya'ari, however, fears a response will still be forthcoming if =
Hamas=20
can get away with it, and says the group is doing all it can to =
succeed.=20
<P>He contends strongly that, in confronting this threat, Israel's =
security forces must end its policy of "limited conflict."=20

Israel's=20
security affairs, Ehud Ya'ari, declared that Hamas "will murder as =

Ahmed=20
Yassin.=20
<P>Ya'ari said the terror group's "fiery rhetoric of revenge is =

Nasrallah," Ya'ari wrote.=20
<P>"The Hamas leadership's belief is that a series of blows of =
this kind=20
would 'shock' Israel and bring this current round to its end =
game."=20
<P>Ya'ari described the group as having "no limitations" and said =

already=20
attempted to do.=20
<P>
<H4>'Hamas-stan'</H4>Contrasting Hamas in the Gaza Strip to its =
cadres in=20
Judea and Samaria, Ya'ari said that, in the latter areas, Israel =
had=20
succeeded in crushing 90 percent of the group's infrastructure.=20
<P>In Gaza, however, Hamas was building up a "popular army" - a =
militia=20
which, if allowed to establish itself, would become a =
"highly-motivated=20
armed force to rival the puny security apparatuses of the =
Palestinian=20
Authority."=20
<P>As soon as it managed to put together thousands of fighters, =
this Hamas=20
militia would turn the Gaza Strip into "Hamas-stan" - a terrorist =

similar to the "Hizballahstan" that came into existence in =
southern=20
Lebanon after Israel's hasty withdrawal from there.=20
<P>
<H4>No time to stop</H4>Ya'ari, who appears regularly on Israeli=20
television and is believed to have a lot of influence in the =
country, said=20
the "worst mistake that Israel could now make would be to stop =
pursuit of=20
the terror leaders."=20
<P>The ranking Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip, Abdel Aziz Rantisi, =
and his=20
top echelon of lieutenants did not believe Israel would err at =
this point,=20
and had gone into hiding after Yassin was killed.=20
<P>Knowing it had been dealt a body blow, Hamas would be doing =
everything=20
in its power to pull off major attacks.=20
<P>Should Prime Minister Ariel Sharon stop targeting the "terror=20
contractors," Yassin's execution would come to represent the =
turning=20
point, "at which Hamas realizes its dream of achieving a balance =
of terror=20
against Israel," writes Ya'ari.=20
<P>He argues that, since the start of the Oslo War, Israel had =
restrained=20
its use of force and employed "selectivity and caution" in its =
pre-emptive=20
actions.=20
<P>This "credo of limited conflict" was believed by some in the =
military=20
to actually be dragging out the conflict rather than ending it. =
For what=20
Israel had been facing since the beginning was an "all-out =
confrontation."=20
<P>In the light of Hamas' determination to score a major victory =
in its=20
