The Bloggers Take on the Qana MassacrePosted at http://www.think-israel.org/lipkin.qana.html by Bernice Lipkin.Assembled evidence to date that Qana is a hoax. It isn't just a bunch of staged shots. Using great actors, dead children as props and friendly press, Hezbollah CREATED a massacre. They created it. It isn't that there was a massacre and they just embellished it.

By Steven Plaut Haifa, Israel I am writing this in between ducking in and out of the bomb shelter as Haifa is bathed by the Katyusha rockets and other missiles that Ehud Barak has now fired at the city. Why Ehud Barak? Because as Israeli Prime Minister in 2000, HE ordered the cowardly unilateral withdrawal of Israeli troops from the security zone in southern Lebanon, and so HE positioned the thousands of Hezbollah rockets on Israel's northern border. It occurred to me that now would be as good a time as any to sum upeverything that has been learned about the Middle East conflict, that is,everything that the Israeli government and chattering classes refused tolearn for the past two decades. 1. Nice fences do not stop missiles, rockets, and mortars. 2. Complete removal of Israeli forces and Jewish settlers from an areadoes not achieve anything, and merely signals Israeli weakness, invitingescalated terror and aggression from the Arabs. 3. The Hezbollah and the Hamas cannot be defeated with air strikes. Thereis no effective alternative to ground invasion and ongoing control of theground. 4. Unless the Israeli military controls the ground on the OTHER sideof fences, those fences achieve nothing. 5. Goodwill gestures by Israel increase terror. 6. Goodwill gestures by Israel never produce moderation of Arab goalsand demands, but rather produce the opposite. 7. Terror is not caused by settlements, but rather by the *removal* ofsettlements. 8. Terror is not caused by Israeli military occupation, but rather bythe *removal *of Israeli military occupation. 9. It is impossible for there to be two sovereign entities between theJordon River and the Mediterranean. 10. No matter how many concessions Israel makes, the world will alwaysjustify Arab terrorism, because there is always one more capitulation thatIsrael failed to make (e.g., giving up the "Shebaa Farm" on the GolanHeights) 11. No matter how nice Israel is to Israeli Arabs, no matter how manyaffirmative action programs it implements, it will always be accused ofbeing an "apartheid regime". 12. The Israeli Far Left is an openly anti-Semitic movement thatseeks Israel's destruction and automatically endorses the enemies ofIsrael in all things. 13. The Israeli Labor Party and its Kadima cousin may be moreeffective at fighting terror, once they decide to do so, than the Likud.The reason is that if the Likud were fighting terror, the Israeli Leftwould take to the streets in mass demonstrations against Israeli imperialismand aggression, and the leftist Israeli media would declare that 400,000protesters turned out. 14. The *real* enemy of Israel is not Arab fascism but Jewishleftism. 15. The world likes to see Jewish civilians murdered by terroristsand will applaud and justify all such murders as comeuppance for the Jewsfor being so insensitive. 16. The Israeli Left will oppose every conceivable act of Israeliself-defense, other than total capitulation. 17. Israeli niceness and flexibility fan anti-Semitism. 18. Israel-bashing is nothing more than anti-Semitism andIsrael-bashers are increasingly open about their delight at seeing Jewishcivilians murdered. 19. Israeli pursuit of the "peace process" has triggered a world-widestorm of anti-Semitism. 20. Terrorists cannot be appeased. 21. Arab terrorists do not morph into statesmen. 22. There are no Palestinian moderates. 23. Israel bashers do not care about dead Arab civilians, other thanas a useful bludgeon with which to delegitimize Israel. 24. The Western Left would celebrate if Israeli Jews were shipped offto concentration camps in cattle cars, and would demand improved railservice. 25. The vast majority of Israeli Arabs want to see Israel destroyedand the Jews thrown into the sea. 26. There are hundreds of Jewish professors in Israel who serve as anacademic Fifth Column that will do anything to collaborate with the enemiesof their country. 27. The Arabs will not accept an independent Israel in ANY set ofborders, no matter how small. Hence one achieves nothing by reducingIsrael's territory, other than to signal weakness and destructibility. 28. Much of the Western media believes that there are no problems onearth that could not be greatly improved by destroying Israel. 29. Most of the governments of Europe do not believe Jews should betreated with respect, and certainly do not think Jews should ever be allowedto defend themselves. 30. The only country on earth that is expected to respond to massmurder of its civilians through turning of the other cheek is Israel.The only country on earth that spent many years trying to defeataggression and terrorism by turning the other cheek is Israel. 31. No matter how Israel responds to aggression and terrorism, itwill always be a "disproportionate" response. 32. Those who claim that anti-Zionism is different and distinct fromanti-Semitism are anti-Semites. 33. The only people on earth whom the Left believes should be deniedthe right to self-determination and self-defense are the Jews. 34. "Palestinians" are not a people and never were. They are simplyArabs who happened to migrate into historic Western Palestine. Theyhave no right whatsoever to statehood. 35. The Golan Heights are not "Syrian" and never were. 36. Noam Chomsky is an anti-Semite and Norman Finkelstein is aneo-nazi. People who endorse them are anti-Semites, even if theyhappen to be Israeli Jews. 37. Israeli politicians are among the stupidest on earth. 38. Israeli leftists never learn from the failures of their policiesand "ideas". Every failure is simply because their policies were notapplied thoroughly *enough.* 39. The moral and legal responsibility for every single Arab civiliankilled or injured in the Middle East conflict rests squarely upon theshoulders of the Arab fascists and terrorists. 40. There is no moral or legal reason for Israel to refrain fromattacking terrorists and murderers when they hide among civilians. 41. "Anarchists" and others who protest against Israel's securitywall want the wall removed because they want terrorists to murder Jewishcivilians. 42. Palestinians are the Sudeten Germans of the Middle East. 43. Israel has no obligation to share its water resources with the"Palestinians" or anyone else. 44. There are no non-military solutions to the problem of terrorism. 45. One can only make peace with one's enemies. One also only makeswar with one's enemies. 46. There are no significant differences between the agenda of thePLO and the agenda of the Hamas and Hezbollah. 47. The Middle East conflict is not a marital spat. Going throughthe pretense of holding hands and holding talks does not calm tensions andachieves nothing. 48. One cannot make peace by pretending that war does not exist. 49. One cannot buy off anti-Semites and Islamofascists with tradeconcessions and subsidies. 50. The only way to stop terrorism is to kill terrorists. The Left's Existential War Against Hamasby Elyakim Haetzni Elyakim Haetzni is a lawyer and former Knesset member who resides in Kiryat Arba. Author's Archive Kidnapping has become a national sport for the Arabs. The Hizbullah declared an open season in which the Arab is the hunter and the Jew -any Jew, from children to old people - is the prey. What was the illicit drug trap that was set for Elchanan Tennenbaum if not a hunt? And the fact is that the prey entered the trap, and the Jewish government went in after. Just as the operation near Kerem Shalom was a Hizbullah-style guerrilla action - and apparently with Hizbullah direction - so too the kidnapping trend has come from there. We captured a cell that attempted to hunt the two girls near Rachelim, who were miraculously saved. And another kidnapped young man, Eliyahu Asheri, has already lost his life. The future is ominous. Those who regularly break into homes in the Sharon region, for example, and steal the car keys from the owners' pockets as they sleep, who have been stealing everything from us over the years - from tractors to bee hives to entire barns and the laundry from the line - will not have difficulty wandering around in Israeli dress, in stolen cars, hunting lone pedestrians. Nonetheless, one must assume that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, knowing all of this and despite his declarations, will eventually fold. He'll eventually agree to a "deal" and he will turn the people of Israel into a herd of sheep from which the wolf chooses a new victim each time. The reason is, as the prophet says, "He who sows wind will reap the whirlwind." The "Now culture", of which Peace Now is just its political manifestation, is vengeful. Even now, the media is pressuring the government, hinting, asking questions, investigating day and night: What has changed? Why is Israel suddenly altering its policy and being stubborn this time? And they have already drawn the doomsday weapon: Jewish morality. The hostile media suddenly remembers "Jewish morality" and rolls pious eyes heavenward, claiming that it is a "supra-mitzvah" to redeem captives at any price. Indeed, the redemption of captives is a very important mitzvah; however, we are explicitly forbidden to pay more than "market value", so as not to encourage more kidnapping. In other words, precisely the opposite approach. Even if Olmert and company have every honest intention not to concede this time, the warped education - leftist, egotistical, short on stamina - will take its revenge. They will be forced to give in to the Golem of Now-ism, of concessions, of withdrawal, of weakness, of nihilism, of short-term calculations at the expense of the future - and they will institutionalize kidnappings. And from here to the big question. Why are the Kadima government leaders all of a sudden displaying a strong stand against the Hamas regime? No right-wing government (or what we incorrectly identified as "right") has ever expelled Hamas members from Jerusalem, or thrown Hamas "ministers" and "parliamentarians" in jail, or publicly threatened the life of the Palestinian "prime minister" - not even the criminal and murderer Yasser Arafat, who makes Ismail Haniyeh look like a saint. And no Israeli government has ever launched a military offensive that had as one of its aims deposing the Palestinian "government" Only a far-leftist in spirit must launch a war of destruction against the Hamas regime in the Palestinian Authority. You see, for a nationalist Jew, there is no difference between Haniyeh and the evil Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen), financier of the Munich Massacre. Both Haniyeh and Abu Mazen are our enemies. In fact, the regime of Fatah is perhaps more dangerous to us than the Hamas. Fatah gives the appearance of a chance for peace; whereas, Hamas insists on telling the truth - that all of them, including the "moderates" of Fatah, are intent on liberating Haifa and Jaffa. Deception is always more dangerous than the truth. Therefore, the Right did not fall out of its chair over the rise of Hamas. A nationalist Jew sees anyone who wants to take even a centimeter of his country away from him as an enemy. What difference does it make if it is accomplished by war and terrorism or by negotiation? A patriot does not give up his country even to an English lord. Therefore, the rise of Hamas to power among the Palestinians does not appear to the Right as such a big change, for even the words of peace of the leaders of Fatah are lies and their signature is not worth the paper it is written on. A nationalist Jew will define violence between us and the Arabs as war and will strive for victory. He has wartime goals, a strategy of victory that includes whatever expands, stabilizes, reinforces and entrenches our hold on our homeland. In the eyes of a nationalist Jew, war was, is and will be about the land of Israel, and how to take advantage of the momentum of Arab aggression in order to expand Jewish settlement. It is precisely the opposite among the Left. For the leftist, the Land of Israel is not a value. A value is "the good life", which he calls "peace". And if peace cannot be obtained, then at least "quiet". And for that, it is enough to "converge" into a small corner, with no need for a homeland. All that is needed is a "Palestinian partner" for the "solution" delusion. If a nationalist Jew is told that he can have the Land of Israel, but not peace, as long as the Arabs remain as they are, he will accept such a "deal". He understands that "the Land of Israel is acquired through suffering." It was for this reason that the people of Gush Katif absorbed 5,000 mortar shells with almost no complaints. A leftist - once convinced that an authentic Palestinian partner, who will not deceive him, will never be found, that there will never be peace here like there is between Belgium and Holland - will apparently reach the conclusion to simply emigrate. That is why the Left treats the rise of the Hamas regime as if it is an existential disaster. If the result of withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and northern Samaria, and the destruction of 25 communities, is a strengthening not of the "moderates", but of the rule of Hamas, then the foundation for peace, for negotiation, for coexistence crumbles. When the Left's vision collapses, with no partner, there remains no reason for them to live here. It is precisely the true Left, the innocent Left that truly believed in the possibility of good neighborliness with the Arabs on the basis of our concessions in Judea, Samaria, Gaza and east Jerusalem, and on their concession to Israel within the Green Line, that has had its world destroyed by the rise of Hamas. It is precisely this innocent lamb that all of a sudden becomes a vicious tiger in its opposition to Hamas. Aggressive tactics are aimed at bringing down the Hamas regime and returning Fatah, along with the fantasy of peace, to power. Without that fantasy, the Left is not willing to live here at all. Olmert and Defense Minister Amir Peretz would have been happy to release terrorists in exchange for the kidnapped soldiers had the Palestinian Authority been ruled by Fatah, the partner from Olso, the partner to the Road Map. What bothers our leaders is releasing terrorists to Hamas, which would amount to an admission that there will be no "peace process", but a process of concessions to extortion, of Arab war for the land and Jewish defense with no concept of why, with no purpose. All these years, I held feelings towards the Left of dislike and outrage in my heart. Today - I pity them. |
