A
must-read by Uri Dan:
The question, as always, is only how much Jewish blood will have to be spilled before the politicians, who are again running for the Knesset, wake up from the illusions they are sowing....
There is not and never has been a Palestinian partner for negotiations, ever since the Jews began to return to Zion. Nor will there be one for many years to come. Every Jew with eyes in his head knows that.
There is no possibility that the Hamas will change its plan to destroy Israel. That is why Israel must focus on preserving the large settlement blocs, protecting a united Jerusalem with the Temple Mount at its heart and maintaining the security areas in the Jordan Valley, the Judean Desert and the mountain ridge.
The extreme Islamist axis that will arise from Gaza to Ramallah, Damascus, and Teheran, which has made it its mission to wipe Israel off the map, has emerged from behind the Middle Eastern scenes to center stage. The president of Iran has already provided this axis with an umbrella of long-range ballistic missiles that he plans to arm with nuclear warheads....
Up until the Hamas victory in the Palestinian Authority, which came as a complete surprise to Israel's security apparatus, Israeli politicians running for the Knesset were carrying on a bizarre competition among themselves to see who could give up the most to the Palestinians. Who could run backwards the fastest in the Olympic race to cause the Jewish state to go bust?....
And just as Arafat woke the Jews up with his human bombs to the cruel reality of their lives in their wonderful country, so will Hamas, which has stockpiled a huge arsenal of weapons and explosives - exactly for this purpose. The awakening of the Jews will once again cost many lives, and will come only after they are roused once again from the powerful brainwashing of Jewish politicians and journalists. But it will come thanks to the Hamas.
Uri Dan's thesis was earlier praised here when it was authored by
Steven Plaut. Unfortunately, Plaut had a
followup article about the response by Israeli opinion leaders that can only be understood psychologically.
