Don't Waste the Dollars

By Daniel Pipes:

It comes as a relief to learn that Karen Hughes, who runs the public diplomacy shop at the US State Department, has suspended the pathetic effort to reach out to Arab and other foreign audiences via a taxpayer-funded magazine named Hi International (best remembered for a notorious June 2005 article, "Sharp-dressed Men," that told how "real men moisturize").

Certainly not one penny should be spent on Karen Hughes' exercise in childish ignorance as "diplomacy". Nor should one more penny be given by the U.S. to Israel until the Israelis withdraw from the Occupied West Bank.

US Occupation of Arab countries and Israeli occupation of Palestine are the chief causes of the growth of terrorism throughout the world.

Israel came into existence only because the Jews of Europe were displaced, and the non-Jews in those countries were really not eager to have the Jews return since many of their homes had been given to non-Jews by the nazis (Y'makh sh'mom v'zikrom!) .

The area that the British gave to the Jews for Israel included Judea and Samaria. The settlement that ended the 1947-48 war for independence and survival took away much of the original land of Israel. The Arabs who left Israel at teh behest of the Mufti of Jerusalem (Y'makh sh'mo!) ended up being the refugees in Judea and Samaria, Gaza, and in the camps in Jordan and Lebanon, and it is their descendents that arfe the pesons living in the very unfortunate misery of Judea zand Samaria and in Gaza.

These people can never be allowed to return to Israel since they are persons sworn to destroy Israel.

It is not that there are no Arabs living in Israel. There are many Arabs living in Israel, and they haev done well for themselves. In Haifa it is possible to hear the Muslim call to prayer over loudspeakers in the entire city. Muslims are shop keepers and have other remunerative employment all over Israel The University of Haifa has a significant number of Arab students and faculty members.

Israel is the only committed friend USA has in the Middle East.
