1. SOWING THE SEEDS OF DESTRUCTION
By Ryan Jones - Jerusalem Newswire - August 2, 2004=20
Despite 15 years of clear-cut evidence that the more Israel gives =
the more violence and pain it gets in return, the United States =
continues to lead the Western world's determined efforts to pressure the =
Jewish state into surrendering its God-given land to its Islamic foes.=20
That pressure, in addition to negating the Jews' own claim to the =
land as rightfully theirs, has also effectively worked to rip the =
Israeli people in two.=20
It is no secret that Israel's leaders make no important policy =
decisions without looking over their shoulders to see whether or not =
they will receive Washington's approval. Most Israelis place great =
importance in what the White House says Americans think of them.=20
But some in Israel still hold that God and the Scriptures should =
have greater bearing on their lives than the whims of any US =
administration. This, God-fearing, sector of society has been =
increasingly demonized by those of their fellow countrymen who believe =
they should kowtow to America and its "interests" in the region.=20
That a United States headed by a born again Christian is actively =
participating in rending Israeli society asunder should be of great =
concern to every bible-believing American.=20
Fuelling that concern is a question increasingly seeking an =
answer:Just what kind of pressure is Washington exerting, and how far is =
the US willing to push Israel?=20
What is the nature of the threat, how intense is the squeezing, =
that has succeeded in making a man who once championed the Jews' right =
to settle Judea, Samaria and Gaza, suddenly change his stripes and =
become withdrawal's greatest advocate?=20
Ariel Sharon has not only bent in the spirit of compromise, he and =
his ideology have been broken.=20
What kind of pressure would cause Israel to agree to take that =
last step off the plank of self-destruction? We have had decades of =
evidence that such pressure, and the willingness to apply it, is in the =
United States' repertoire. Will the current Bush administration be the =
one to use it?=20
In a world stacked almost universally against Israel, the US has =
often been the only nation prepared to take the side of the Jewish =
state, even bearing the scorn and rage of the nations for doing so. =
Despite this history, despite this alliance, the de facto result of the =
last 15 years of US foreign policy in the Middle East is that Israel has =
been weakened, in its security and in its society, amidst the =
increasingly dangerous environment in which it lives.=20
The US is helping the gentile world to bare Israel's throat, even =
as implacable foes in Tehran, Damascus, southern Lebanon and Egypt work =
night and day to sharpen the blades with which they plan to cut it.=20
Tehran is pushing ahead with its efforts to become a nuclear =
power, last month ordering new, long-range surface-to-surface missiles =
from North Korea, and simultaneously breaking its pledge to the European =
Union that it will no longer seek to manufacture an atomic bomb. =
Damascus is assembling SCUD-missile mountable VX gas warheads on =
production lines within Syria's borders. Both Syria and Iran are =
facilitating the efforts by the Lebanese Hizballah, (which already has =
more than 10,000 missiles aimed at northern Israel), to increase the =
range of those rockets and to acquire non-conventional warheads to fit =
on them.=20
Egypt, that nation supposedly at peace with Israel, and facing no =
national threat from any surrounding nations, is pouring billions of =
dollars annually into upgrading its forces, and regularly conducts war =
games in which Israel is the enemy. A former Egyptian war minister has =
stated publicly that in the event of another Arab-Israeli war, Cairo =
would tear up its peace treaty with Israel and willingly join the fray.=20
And inside Israel, the people to whom Washington wants to give a =
state or giving themselves no rest in their effort to increase the =
deadliness of their terrorism, so that they will not only kill 20 or 30 =
Jews at a time, but 2000 or 3000 or more.=20
For the last 60 or so years, the nations of the world have been =
vowing, "never again." Never again would they allow a holocaust to be =
perpetrated against the Jews. Never again would they allow efforts to =
render extinct the ancient people of Israel. Every head of state that =
pays an official visit to Israel stands at the Holocaust Memorial Museum =
in Jerusalem and mouths the words, "Never again."=20
But it is being allowed to happen again. These leaders are =
actively helping to bring a about the destruction of the Jewish state. =
The western nations are playing with Israel's future, with Israel's =
life.=20
President George W. Bush has "personally committed" himself to =
overseeing the creation of a state for the Palestinian Arabs, even as =
all his intelligence agencies feed him this information, that those =
Arabs regard such a state as the most effective weapon they will have to =
use against what will be left of Israel - to finally expunge the Jewish =
cancer from their Muslim midst.=20
They declare their intention openly, believing that Allah will =
ensure them this victory over the infidel Jews.=20
The evidence is too clear. No longer can the US claim ignorance; =
no longer can it say that it is only trying to do what was best for all =
involved.=20
Will Washington continue to push Israel until it is too late, =
until the increasingly existential threat posed by the Arabs around and =
within erupts into hostilities that will leave tens of thousands, even =
hundreds of thousands, of Jewish dead?=20
And are the millions of bible believing American supporters of =
Israel going to allow their representative government to continue down =
this road?=20
Most of those Christians know that God has promised to restore the =
Jews to their homeland, and to plant them there, no longer to uproot =
them again.=20
The real question then becomes:Are America's Christians going to =
allow their nation to travel a path that will end in its own severe =
judgment at the hands of a wrathful God?=20
Israel's future is secure. God is committed to it. America's =
future is not so certain. Time is fast running out.=20
"I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who =
curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed." =
(Genesis 12:3)=20
"For the nation and kingdom which will not serve you shall =
perish, and those nations shall be utterly ruined." (Isaiah 60:12)=20
".Whoever touches you touches the apple of His eye. I will =
surely raise My hand against them so that their slaves will plunder =
them." (Zechariah 2:8-9)

2. ISRAEL MAY BE COMPELLED TO PRE-EMPT
By Rachel Neuwirth - Israelinsider.com - August 2, 2004=20
Iran is moving rapidly to become a nuclear power. The Iranian =
mullahs have publicly promised to use nuclear weapons to exterminate =
Israel even if Israel were to achieve peace with the Palestinians. They =
also claim that Iran, with 70 million people, could absorb and survive =
any response from Israel while Israel, with only 5.5 million Jews, is =
vulnerable to devastating losses if only a few of Iran's missiles got =
through.=20
Each time these Iranian threats were announced, the U.S. =
administration failed to issue any statement in opposition. (When Saddam =
Hussein earlier vowed to "burn half of Israel" the U.S. administration =
also remained silent.) The Iranian mullahs could not fail to notice the =
significant American silence and to draw conclusions. They can also note =
that Israel is outside NATO and has no mutual defense treaty with the =
U.S. If Iran attacks Israel they need not fear any U.S. response.=20
All of Israel's past experiences with America and the UN =
underscore the reality of Israel's isolation and vulnerability. Some =
examples:=20
At its birth Israel totally accepted the UN partition resolution. =
The Arabs rejected that resolution and attacked the new state, =
attempting to destroy it at birth. The UN failed to help Israel and =
America imposed a regional arms embargo, which only affected Israel =
because the Arabs were already well-armed. Israel survived only due to =
its own sacrifice and would have perished if it depended upon the UN and =
the U.S. There was no subsequent punishment or even criticism for Arab =
aggression.=20
In 1967 Egypt and Syria were openly poised to launch an unprovoked =
attack to "drive the Jews into the sea" as Gamal Abdul Nasser vowed. =
There was no strong U.S. warning to Egypt and Syria not to attack. =
Instead the U.S. urged Israel not to pre-empt and to wait on U.S. =
diplomacy. When it became clear that U.S. diplomacy was failing and =
Israel could face catastrophic losses if the Arabs were allowed to =
strike first, Israel was forced to pre-empt. Again there was no =
subsequent punishment or even criticism for Arab aggression.=20
In 1973 Egypt and Syria again were openly poised to launch an =
unprovoked attack on Israel. And again there was no U.S. warning to =
Egypt and Syria not to attack. But this time Secretary of State Henry =
Kissinger did not just urge Israel "not to fire the first shot," he =
warned Israel not to pre-empt and to not even mobilize, lest it face the =
loss of American support, and then have to face Egypt and Syria backed =
by Russia and be left all on her own. Israel obeyed, was attacked, and =
almost lost that war while sustaining horrendous loss of life and =
suffering a brutal blow to its economy. Again there was no subsequent =
punishment or even criticism for Arab aggression.=20
These examples illustrate an ongoing pattern of U.S. behavior from =
Israel's birth until this day. The Arabs are always free to commit =
aggression and launch repeated attempts to destroy Israel without facing =
punishment or even criticism. It appears that the U.S. will always act =
to restrain Israel from exercising its full right of self-defense but =
will never act decisively to blunt Arab aggression. If Israel obeys U.S. =
pressure it could gravely endanger its security but if it acts in =
legitimate self-defense it could face U.S. punishment because of a =
consistent U.S. double standard.=20
Today the Iranian threat poses the greatest danger ever, because =
even a single nuclear missile reaching an Israeli population center =
could cause catastrophic damage and casualties. The U.S., the UN and the =
Europeans are also concerned, but only because Iranian nukes could also =
endanger them. However, they have so far failed to generate a sufficient =
collective response to guarantee that the ongoing Iranian quest for =
nuclear weapons will be halted and dismantled in time.=20
The U.S. is the lead player in all this and recent reports suggest =
that President Bush is unlikely to act until after the November =
election, assuming that he is re-elected, and that there is still enough =
time left to act. Note that President Bush, after Iraq, is now gun shy =
about pre-emption and he has announced no deadline for Iran to terminate =
its nuclear program.=20
Perhaps the West believes that Israel is their free insurance =
policy. They may prefer to have Israel take out Iran's nuclear =
facilities for them, as in 1981 when Israel bombed the Iraqi reactor. =
This means that Israel takes all the risk, Israel takes all the blame =
and the other nations benefit for free. The U.S. and the other nations =
still want to avoid alienating more Muslims and want to appear "even =
handed" concerning Israel. Bluntly put, the survival of Israel may be =
desirable for the nations, but not at any cost in jeopardizing their =
essential oil supplies and facing increased enmity among the world's =
Muslims.=20
It is not unreasonable to speculate that the U.S. and Europe may =
have decided to wait and let Israel be forced to pre-empt and do their =
dirty work, and hopefully be successful. But if something goes wrong =
they can always claim plausible deniability and join in the denunciation =
and possible punishment against Israel to appease the Arabs. It has =
happened before after the 1981 Israeli attack on the Iraqi reactor.=20
Another possibility is for the U.S. and Europe to reluctantly =
allow Iran to go nuclear in the same way that we allowed North Korea to =
go nuclear while downplaying the real threat. And once they do go =
nuclear to then say that they have become too dangerous to attack and =
now we must negotiate - just as with North Korea which signed =
agreements, accepted U.S. aid and then secretly violated their agreement =
and brazenly announced their nuclear capability. We have established the =
pattern and Iran can simply follow suit.=20
Iran will then have additional options besides overt missile =
attack. They could build mini nukes and secretly distribute them to =
various terrorists for smuggling into target countries to be used =
against Israel and the West while adamantly denying all culpability. =
Heavy Western pressure might be put on Israel, including possible =
threats, to not pre-empt and to rely on their missile defense. This =
approach may appeal to the West because it simply plays for time and =
avoids having to take unpleasant decisions today that could upset their =
voters in the next election.=20
What is the military option? Retired Air Force and Army Generals, =
Thomas McInerney and Paul E. Vallely wrote the book, Endgame: The =
Blueprint for Victory in the War on Terror. At a recent lecture they =
claimed that the U.S. has the military capability to effectively take =
out the nuclear facilities of both North Korea and of Iran and can reach =
facilities buried deep underground. They stated that American =
capabilities are much greater than Israel's. If that is true, then it is =
primarily a U.S. political decision rather than one of military =
capability.=20
There are further complications if Israel feels compelled to =
pre-empt. Unlike Iraq in 1981, Iran's facilities are buried underground, =
dispersed and well protected with air defenses. Israel may not be able =
to readily neutralize these facilities. Iran also had ample time to =
develop a counter strategy to deter Israel that may include Syria's =
launching chemical and biological attacks on Israel combined with =
Iranian-backed Hizbullah attacks on northern Israel. If Israel is forced =
to pre-empt, other Arab countries may join in a general attack on =
Israel. This would rapidly create an entirely new situation that could =
escalate out of control. In such a situation Israel may be forced to use =
some of its nuclear weapons. (Note that prior to the invasion of Iraq, =
the U.S. publicly reserved the right to use tactical nuclear weapons if =
required.) A worst-case scenario could also include an oil embargo and =
even destruction of some oil fields resulting in major damage to Western =
economies. Thus a Western policy that results in Israel feeling gravely =
threatened and forced to pre-empt could backfire severely against =
Western interests.=20
There is also the question of knowing just how close Iran is to =
having the bomb. Keep in mind how often Western and U.S. intelligence =
have been wrong in the past. There has also been a tendency to =
underestimate the capabilities of rogue nations and their ability to =
deceive. We were fooled by North Korea and then surprised at their =
progress. After the 1991 Iraq war we were surprised at how close Saddam =
was to having a nuclear bomb. He fooled us again by moving his nuclear =
weapons program to Libya while we were still searching in Iraq. We only =
found out when Muammar Ghadaffi decided to come clean. And Iran insists =
its program is only for non-military purposes that legally allow it to =
progress just short of weapons level. If all their nuclear components =
are fabricated but unassembled, they may be able to assemble them =
suddenly and then announce they are now a nuclear power. We know they =
are also acquiring more and better missiles as delivery systems. We may =
tell Israel that there is still plenty of time to act but we have little =
credibility, and Israel can also suspect that we may be lying just to =
restrain her for our own convenience.=20
There are still other complicating factors, including the paranoia =
of the Iranian mullahs who may also act irrationally in response to =
their own fears, both real and imagined. Nevertheless the Iranian bomb =
must be stopped. The best way is to mobilize a solid Western front plus =
any other international support, with an ultimatum to Iran combined with =
support for Iran's large internal opposition. This will require America =
to lead with more firmness and more wisdom than we have seen in the =
past. Any perceived weakness by our side will only serve to increase the =
defiance of the Iranian mullahs.=20
In summary, it is definitely not in American or Western interests =
to leave Israel with no other security option except to pre-empt and =
thus open Pandora's Box of horrors. The longer we wait to act, the =
higher the stakes and the greater the danger. And to again push this =
problem into the future may be the worst option of all.=20

3. PROVOCATION ON THE TEMPLE MOUNT
By Uri Dan - The Jerusalem Post - August 4, 2004=20
Islamic extremists may target the Dome of the Rock or the al-Aksa =
mosque, the two Muslim shrines atop the Temple Mount (Haram es-Sharif in =
Arabic), aiming to lay the blame on Israel.=20
I am told by Israeli experts with considerable experience in =
countering terror that they are worried about such provocations being =
perpetrated by Israeli or Palestinian Arabs, or by Muslim fanatics =
associated with international terror.=20
Paradoxically, what arouses anxiety is the possibility that =
Islamist fanatics may try to exploit the flood of recent media coverage =
suggesting that Jewish extremists might attempt to attack the Muslim =
holy sites on the Temple Mount.=20
Reported threats of a possible Jewish extremist attack on the =
shrines are nothing new but have garnered greater attention recently =
because they were aired publicly by Internal Security Minister Tzahi =
Hanegbi. He also complained that despite repeated requests for =
additional funding to better protect the Temple Mount, his ministry has =
not yet received additional funds.=20
Hanegbi's warnings of a supposed Jewish threat to the shrines were =
widely publicized in the Arab media. In a sense, here were the Jews =
themselves admitting that they were threatening Islamic holy places.=20
The accusation is that Jewish extremists want to destroy the =
shrines to make room for the construction of the Third Temple, or to try =
to torpedo Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's unilateral disengagement plan =
for the Gaza Strip. Sure enough, there were a handful of messianic =
right-wing types who immediately hinted in the media that they would =
like to see the shrines disappear from the Temple Mount.=20
Not surprisingly, banner headlines about a possible attack on the =
Temple Mount by Jewish extremists generated threats from Islamic =
extremist leaders in Israel and abroad warning of retaliation by "a =
billion Muslims" if anything happened on Haram es-Sharif.=20
IN FACT, the current Islamist terror war against Western =
democracies has created a breeding ground for provocation on the Temple =
Mount. But the danger does not stem from Jewish extremists. Islamic =
terrorists throughout the world have carried out attacks not only in the =
West but also in Muslim countries such as Indonesia, Turkey, and Saudi =
Arabia.=20
Consequently, the danger does exist that enemies of the Jewish =
state might attack the shrines on the Temple Mount with the explicit aim =
of placing the blame on Israel. Against the background of official =
Israeli declarations about the danger posed by Jewish extremists, such =
an attack could disguise the actual perpetrators.=20
Those who want proof that the enemy is capable of concocting such =
a blood libel should examine the recent declarations by Yasser Arafat =
accusing the Shin Bet of being the hidden hand behind suicide attacks =
against Israelis.=20
Arafat and his cohorts have no difficulty lying with brazen =
impudence or inventing blood libels against Israel. I still remember how =
Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat declared in a CNN interview broadcast =
from Jericho in 2002 that the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem "was =
burning. The Israelis shelled it."=20
The truth is, Palestinian terrorists had "hijacked" the Christian =
shrine to avoid being taken into custody. Not a single hair on Erekat's =
head trembled as he lied before an international audience in a live =
broadcast.=20
Regrettably, there will always be Jews who play into the hands of =
the Palestinian enemy - intentionally or not - to put the blame on =
Israel.=20
Israeli authorities should be the first to explain that the danger =
of provocation against the shrines on the Temple Mount comes from =
Muslims - including terrorists in the ranks of Palestinians loyal to =
Arafat.=20
The Israeli security establishment must improve the means of =
protecting the Temple Mount against Islamist factions with at least the =
same degree of fervor and professionalism that they display against =
Jews. Recall that Jews are not permitted to pray on the Temple Mount, =
despite the fact that it is the most holy place for the Jewish nation.=20
The danger of Arab provocation on the Temple Mount is so grave =
that it calls for not only the absence of irresponsible Israeli =
declarations by cabinet ministers and senior officers but also a =
constant re-examination of security procedures and the security =
establishment methodology itself.=20

4. FATHER OF FAILURE
By Barry Rubin - The Jerusalem Post - August 2, 2004=20
The world seems to be discovering the basic facts about the =
Palestinian movement's leadership and especially regarding Yasser =
Arafat. It is increasingly obvious that he is impossible to deal with =
diplomatically, uninterested in ending the violence or making the peace, =
and repressive as well as incompetent in leading his own people.=20
Nevertheless, despite this factor as revealed by growing turmoil =
in Gaza, battles among Palestinian factions, and protests about Arafat's =
leadership, four basic principles have been largely overlooked.=20
The problem is not merely Arafat himself but the extremist =
ideology, distortion of reality, maximal goals, rationale for terrorism, =
and refusal to accept a real peace that both he and his colleagues =
represent.=20
a.. These factors blocking the chance for a just and lasting =
peace did not originate a few weeks ago when Palestinians started =
complaining more openly about their own leaders but go back many =
decades. Indeed, they are the reasons why this conflict did not end 30 =
years ago. And the central issues have been, as they are today, the =
refusal to accept Israel's existence, the glorification of hatred and =
terrorism, and the rejection of compromise on the Palestinian and Arab =
side.
b.. Arafat has done the most to set the agenda in which =
Palestinian politicians, ideologues, and gunmen prefer trying to destroy =
Israel than to build a stable, peaceful, and productive state of their =
own.
c.. Finally, it is vital to see the connection between the =
nature of the Palestinian leadership and the bitter realities that have =
shaped Israeli policies in response. It is harder to make a deal with =
someone who wants to destroy you than with someone who wants to reach a =
mutually beneficial agreement.
It is far more difficult to reach an understanding with someone =
who preaches hatred as the basis of his society than with someone who is =
eager for conciliation once reasonable demands be met.=20
Doesn't it make sense that Israel does not want to make more =
concessions, take more risks, and trust its future to such an enemy? =
Isn't it clear that Israel must use force to stop terrorism since =
Palestinian leaders encourage, protect, and pay for it?=20
Under these circumstances isn't a security fence a necessity, an =
act of legitimate self-defense? Such responses are not the choice of a =
demonized Israel or satanized Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, but a =
rational and appropriate response to the violence and anarchy fostered =
by Arafat.=20
To recognize that the leader accepted (up to now) by Palestinians =
has been a corrupt autocrat who uses terrorism and incitement while =
rejecting peace means the world should support Israel's actions in =
defending itself. How then could the EU's members vote unanimously in =
the UN to condemn Israel's security fence? (Answer: by endorsing an =
International Court of Justice decision that Israel had no right of =
self-defense against terrorists.) Implicit in the condemnation of Arafat =
- especially now that his victims are visibly Palestinians - the world =
also must understand what it requires to defend oneself against Arafat =
and a movement and doctrine he has led and shaped, most of which =
continues to be loyal to him.=20
Consider only one of a thousand points of evidence revealing the =
kind of person we are dealing with here. Nabil Amr, a veteran Fatah =
activist, became a dissident, writing an open letter to Arafat last year =
accusing him of throwing away the chance for a peaceful solution and an =
independent Palestinian state. A few weeks later, shots were fired at =
Amr's house. Recently, Amr was shot and his leg has to be amputated.=20
Arafat originally declared - as he always does in such =
circumstances - that this crime would be investigated and the =
perpetrators brought to justice. Now he has canceled the investigation =
and accusing Israel of responsibility for the shooting, when obviously =
it was carried out by his own men.=20
After four years of totally unnecessary violence and 40 years of =
Arafat, the world seems to be getting the idea of what is actually going =
on.=20
The New York Times and Washington Post both had Arafat-must-go =
editorials, though they were not so keen on the idea when the US =
government made this its policy two years ago.=20
As for the Arab media, there have never been so many open =
denunciations of Arafat, including calls for his resignation and changes =
in the Palestinian leadership. Some places in Europe and the European =
Union bureaucracy (and of course that part of the Israeli Left for whom =
wishful thinking is their religion) remain the last bastions of =
believers that Arafat is a man of peace.=20
Beyond bashing Arafat as an individual, however, it would be good =
to think about the political and strategic implications for those who =
are next-door neighbors of such a leader, system and world view as the =
one he created, both for Palestinians and the entire Arab world, and =
which hundreds of thousands of his people fervently embrace.=20

5. E.U. WAKING FROM COMA
Jerusalem Post Editorial - July 25, 2004=20
F By Beth Goodtree August 3, 2004 For those of us who follow =
international politics, the European Union's typically critical stance =
regarding Israel has been unfathomable. Why would Europe, with its =
history of involvement with or against Nazis and genocide, its fight =
against Soviet oppression, and its modern turn towards peace and =
justice, consistently side with modern-day genocidal monsters? After =
diagnosing their reaction at the UN, the answer is simple: The EU has =
been in a coma.=20
The EU's coma has not been merely about Israel, but about =
themselves. Like an unconscious person's inability to keep himself clean =
and free of vermin, Europeans have been oblivious to the human parasites =
plaguing their countries. Not a week goes by when one doesn't hear of =
Islamists invading with impunity some European society, changing the =
demographics and political character. Whether it was Germany's unwitting =
hosting of the 9-11 murderers, France's struggle against Islamic thugs, =
Spain's cowardly capitulation to Muslim terrorists, or England's hosting =
of hate-filled imams, Europe has been critically infected.=20
Despite watching the almost daily carnage wreaked by Arabs upon =
innocent Israeli women, children and families, the EU has remained, if =
not silent, at the very least uncritical of a concerted effort to commit =
genocide upon the Jewish people. Until now. Now the EU has expressed =
'shock.' In a suspiciously underreported story, Arab countries at the UN =
are trying to thwart a proposal to raise a vote condemning anti-Semitism =
in the General Assembly this September.=20
According to a news article in Haaretz, "UN ambassadors from Arab =
and EU countries met and the Arabs made clear that they do not accept =
the initiative for the UN General Assembly to condemn anti-Semitism.=20
The blunt language used by the Arabs describing their opposition, =
and their plans to use diplomatic means to prevent the resolution from =
reaching a vote, shocked the Europeans, said a UN source."=20
It is apparent that the EU has bought the Arab/Islamist lie that =
Zionism is separate from Judaism. One must wonder what Christian Europe =
has been doing when they've been in church. As Christians, they have as =
their holy books both the Hebrew bible and the New Testament, usually =
bound together in one large book. Haven't any Europeans ever read their =
holy books? The return of the Jewish people to their aboriginal and =
native Holy Land is the most important thing in Judaism. Jerusalem is =
mentioned over 700 times in the Hebrew bible, ZERO times in the Koran.=20
Besides apparently never reading their own bible, the Europeans =
are alarmingly ignorant of history. There have been THREE Jewish states =
in the land of Palestine, there have been ZERO Arab states in the same =
land.=20
Perhaps nothing proves the EU coma better than their oblivion =
regarding current events. The UN Commission on Human Rights has passed =
26 resolutions condemning Israel for human rights violations, despite =
the fact that Muslims are allowed complete freedom of worship, freedom =
to live and freedom to thrive in Israel. The same UN Human Rights =
Commission has passed ZERO resolutions against any Arab country. This is =
despite the fact that Saudi Arabia has made it a capital offense to =
practice Judaism or Christianity, and the Palestinian Authority has an =
official government policy to make its territory 'Judenrein.'=20
So the next question is, now that the EU is waking up to the fact =
that the Arab countries, and perhaps most or all of the other Islamic =
countries think anti-Semitism is a good thing, what do they plan to do =
about it? Before Europe makes a decision, let me remind them of three =
things:=20
Dr Mahathir, the former Prime Minister of Malaysia and former head =
of the OIC (Organization of Islamic Conferences) publicly stated this =
past year at the OIC 2003 conference:=20
"They (the Jews) invented and successfully promoted... human =
rights and democracy so that persecuting them would appear to be wrong, =
so they may enjoy equal rights with others."=20
And:=20
"The Europeans had to kneel at the feet of Muslim scholars in =
order to access their own scholastic heritage."=20
And one more thing. The Muslims have a saying:=20
"First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people."
Good morning Europe -- after the Jews and Israel, you're next!=20

6. QUOTES AND QUICK NOTES
"We will continue to shell you every day to see what your =
defeated army will do for you."
--A Hamas spokesperson, on a videotape resembling those produced =
by the al Qaeda terror network, threatening daily attacks on the village =
of Sderot unless the IDF halts its operations .(Jerusalem Post, August =
2)=20
"If America shows uncertainty or weakness in this decade, the =
world will drift toward tragedy. This will not happen on my watch. When =
it comes to fighting the threats of our world and making America safer =
and promoting peace, we're turning the corner and we're not turning =
back."
-President George W. Bush, campaigning in Missouri. (New York =
Post, July 31)=20
-------------------------------------------------------------------------=
-
Canada's Iranian Shame =20
Last year, an Iranian security agent beat a Canadian =
photojournalist to death in a Tehran prison. Apart from recalling its =
ambassador-a meaningless gesture given Ottawa's weakness-the Canadian =
government was impotent to respond.

7. HIGHLIGHT ARTICLES
a.. Where Bush and Carter Converge In the months before the US =
presidential election, it behooves those who desire an American victory =
against the global jihad to demand that the Bush administration finally =

<H3>2. <A name=3D2>ISRAEL MAY BE COMPELLED TO=20

2, 2004=20
<P><FONT color=3D#800000 size=3D+2>I</FONT>ran is moving rapidly =
to become a=20
nuclear power. The Iranian mullahs have publicly promised to use =
nuclear=20
weapons to exterminate Israel even if Israel were to achieve peace =
with=20
the Palestinians. They also claim that Iran, with 70 million =
people, could=20
absorb and survive any response from Israel while Israel, with =
only 5.5=20
million Jews, is vulnerable to devastating losses if only a few of =
Iran's=20
missiles got through.=20
<P>Each time these Iranian threats were announced, the U.S. =
administration=20
failed to issue any statement in opposition. (When Saddam Hussein =
earlier=20
vowed to "burn half of Israel" the U.S. administration also =
remained=20
silent.) The Iranian mullahs could not fail to notice the =
significant=20
American silence and to draw conclusions. They can also note that =
Israel=20
is outside NATO and has no mutual defense treaty with the U.S. If =
Iran=20
attacks Israel they need not fear any U.S. response.=20
<P>All of Israel's past experiences with America and the UN =
underscore the=20
reality of Israel's isolation and vulnerability. Some examples:=20
<P>At its birth Israel totally accepted the UN partition =
resolution. The=20
Arabs rejected that resolution and attacked the new state, =
attempting to=20
destroy it at birth. The UN failed to help Israel and America =
imposed a=20
regional arms embargo, which only affected Israel because the =
Arabs were=20
already well-armed. Israel survived only due to its own sacrifice =
and=20
would have perished if it depended upon the UN and the U.S. There =
was no=20
subsequent punishment or even criticism for Arab aggression.=20
<P>In 1967 Egypt and Syria were openly poised to launch an =
unprovoked=20
attack to "drive the Jews into the sea" as Gamal Abdul Nasser =
vowed. There=20
was no strong U.S. warning to Egypt and Syria not to attack. =
Instead the=20
U.S. urged Israel not to pre-empt and to wait on U.S. diplomacy. =
When it=20
became clear that U.S. diplomacy was failing and Israel could face =
catastrophic losses if the Arabs were allowed to strike first, =
Israel was=20
forced to pre-empt. Again there was no subsequent punishment or =
even=20
criticism for Arab aggression.=20
<P>In 1973 Egypt and Syria again were openly poised to launch an=20
unprovoked attack on Israel. And again there was no U.S. warning =
to Egypt=20
and Syria not to attack. But this time Secretary of State Henry =
Kissinger=20
did not just urge Israel "not to fire the first shot," he warned =
Israel=20
not to pre-empt and to not even mobilize, lest it face the loss of =
American support, and then have to face Egypt and Syria backed by =
Russia=20
and be left all on her own. Israel obeyed, was attacked, and =
almost lost=20
that war while sustaining horrendous loss of life and suffering a =
brutal=20
blow to its economy. Again there was no subsequent punishment or =
even=20
criticism for Arab aggression.=20
<P>These examples illustrate an ongoing pattern of U.S. behavior =
from=20
Israel's birth until this day. The Arabs are always free to commit =
aggression and launch repeated attempts to destroy Israel without =
facing=20
punishment or even criticism. It appears that the U.S. will always =
act to=20
restrain Israel from exercising its full right of self-defense but =
will=20
never act decisively to blunt Arab aggression. If Israel obeys =
U.S.=20
pressure it could gravely endanger its security but if it acts in=20
legitimate self-defense it could face U.S. punishment because of a =
consistent U.S. double standard.=20
<P>Today the Iranian threat poses the greatest danger ever, =
because even a=20
single nuclear missile reaching an Israeli population center could =
cause=20
catastrophic damage and casualties. The U.S., the UN and the =
Europeans are=20
also concerned, but only because Iranian nukes could also endanger =
them.=20
However, they have so far failed to generate a sufficient =
collective=20
response to guarantee that the ongoing Iranian quest for nuclear =
weapons=20
will be halted and dismantled in time.=20
<P>The U.S. is the lead player in all this and recent reports =
suggest that=20
President Bush is unlikely to act until after the November =
election,=20
assuming that he is re-elected, and that there is still enough =
time left=20
to act. Note that President Bush, after Iraq, is now gun shy about =
pre-emption and he has announced no deadline for Iran to terminate =
its=20
nuclear program.=20
<P>Perhaps the West believes that Israel is their free insurance =
policy.=20
They may prefer to have Israel take out Iran's nuclear facilities =
for=20
them, as in 1981 when Israel bombed the Iraqi reactor. This means =
that=20
Israel takes all the risk, Israel takes all the blame and the =
other=20
nations benefit for free. The U.S. and the other nations still =
want to=20
avoid alienating more Muslims and want to appear "even handed" =
concerning=20
Israel. Bluntly put, the survival of Israel may be desirable for =
the=20
nations, but not at any cost in jeopardizing their essential oil =
supplies=20
and facing increased enmity among the world's Muslims.=20
<P>It is not unreasonable to speculate that the U.S. and Europe =
may have=20
decided to wait and let Israel be forced to pre-empt and do their =
dirty=20
work, and hopefully be successful. But if something goes wrong =
they can=20
always claim plausible deniability and join in the denunciation =
and=20
possible punishment against Israel to appease the Arabs. It has =
happened=20
before after the 1981 Israeli attack on the Iraqi reactor.=20
<P>Another possibility is for the U.S. and Europe to reluctantly =
allow=20
Iran to go nuclear in the same way that we allowed North Korea to =
go=20
nuclear while downplaying the real threat. And once they do go =
nuclear to=20
then say that they have become too dangerous to attack and now we =
must=20
negotiate - just as with North Korea which signed agreements, =
accepted=20
U.S. aid and then secretly violated their agreement and brazenly =
announced=20
their nuclear capability. We have established the pattern and Iran =
can=20
simply follow suit.=20
<P>Iran will then have additional options besides overt missile =
attack.=20
They could build mini nukes and secretly distribute them to =
various=20
terrorists for smuggling into target countries to be used against =
Israel=20
and the West while adamantly denying all culpability. Heavy =
Western=20
pressure might be put on Israel, including possible threats, to =
not=20
pre-empt and to rely on their missile defense. This approach may =
appeal to=20
the West because it simply plays for time and avoids having to =
take=20
unpleasant decisions today that could upset their voters in the =
next=20
election.=20
<P>What is the military option? Retired Air Force and Army =
Generals,=20
Thomas McInerney and Paul E. Vallely wrote the book, Endgame: The=20
Blueprint for Victory in the War on Terror. At a recent lecture =
they=20
claimed that the U.S. has the military capability to effectively =
take out=20
the nuclear facilities of both North Korea and of Iran and can =
reach=20
facilities buried deep underground. They stated that American =
capabilities=20
are much greater than Israel's. If that is true, then it is =
primarily a=20
U.S. political decision rather than one of military capability.=20
<P>There are further complications if Israel feels compelled to =
pre-empt.=20
Unlike Iraq in 1981, Iran's facilities are buried underground, =
dispersed=20
and well protected with air defenses. Israel may not be able to =
readily=20
neutralize these facilities. Iran also had ample time to develop a =
counter=20
strategy to deter Israel that may include Syria's launching =
chemical and=20
biological attacks on Israel combined with Iranian-backed =
Hizbullah=20
attacks on northern Israel. If Israel is forced to pre-empt, other =
Arab=20
countries may join in a general attack on Israel. This would =
rapidly=20
create an entirely new situation that could escalate out of =
control. In=20
such a situation Israel may be forced to use some of its nuclear =
weapons.=20

<P>There is also the question of knowing just how close Iran is to =

wrong in the past. There has also been a tendency to underestimate =
the=20
capabilities of rogue nations and their ability to deceive. We =
were fooled=20
by North Korea and then surprised at their progress. After the =
1991 Iraq=20
war we were surprised at how close Saddam was to having a nuclear =
bomb. He=20

they are now a nuclear power. We know they are also acquiring more =

is=20

Israel can=20

<P>There are still other complicating factors, including the =
paranoia of=20
the Iranian mullahs who may also act irrationally in response to =
their own=20
fears, both real and imagined. Nevertheless the Iranian bomb must =
be=20

any other=20
international support, with an ultimatum to Iran combined with =
support for=20
Iran's large internal opposition. This will require America to =
lead with=20
more firmness and more wisdom than we have seen in the past. Any =
perceived=20
weakness by our side will only serve to increase the defiance of =
the=20
Iranian mullahs.=20
<P>In summary, it is definitely not in American or Western =
interests to=20
leave Israel with no other security option except to pre-empt and =
thus=20
open Pandora's Box of horrors. The longer we wait to act, the =

<P>Reported threats of a possible Jewish extremist attack on the =

<P>IN FACT, the current Islamist terror war against Western =

For those of us who follow international politics, the European =

would Europe, with its history of involvement with or against =
Nazis and=20
genocide, its fight against Soviet oppression, and its modern turn =

After diagnosing their reaction at the UN, the answer is simple: =
The EU=20
has been in a coma.=20
<P>The EU's coma has not been merely about Israel, but about =
themselves.=20
Like an unconscious person's inability to keep himself clean and =

<P>Despite watching the almost daily carnage wreaked by Arabs upon =
innocent Israeli women, children and families, the EU has =

genocide upon the Jewish people. Until now. Now the EU has =

'shock.' In a suspiciously underreported story, Arab countries at =
the UN=20

<P>The blunt language used by the Arabs describing their =

<P>It is apparent that the EU has bought the Arab/Islamist lie =
that=20
Zionism is separate from Judaism. One must wonder what Christian =

Holy Land is the most important thing in Judaism. Jerusalem is =
mentioned=20
over 700 times in the Hebrew bible, ZERO times in the Koran.=20
<P>Besides apparently never reading their own bible, the Europeans =
are=20
alarmingly ignorant of history. There have been THREE Jewish =
states in the=20
land of Palestine, there have been ZERO Arab states in the same =
land.=20
<P>Perhaps nothing proves the EU coma better than their oblivion =
regarding=20
current events. The UN Commission on Human Rights has passed 26=20
resolutions condemning Israel for human rights violations, despite =
the=20
fact that Muslims are allowed complete freedom of worship, freedom =

the fact=20
that Saudi Arabia has made it a capital offense to practice =
Judaism or=20
Christianity, and the Palestinian Authority has an official =
government=20
policy to make its territory 'Judenrein.'=20
<P>So the next question is, now that the EU is waking up to the =
fact that=20
the Arab countries, and perhaps most or all of the other Islamic =
