OLMERT COMMITS TREASON! STORM THE KNESSET! NOW!

If I did not read this with my own eyes I could not believe it. Give up the Golan? Olmert is the enemy I tell you. He is Israel's worst nightmare. Fear not the Islamic jihad, fear the Jewicidals. Reuters is reporting that  Israel tells Syria willing to return Golan.. But it is not Israel, it is Olmert.

According to a poll in the Maariv yesterday, 74 per cent of Israelis do not believe that Syria wants peace with Israel and 48 per cent oppose a resumption of peace talks concerning the Golan, compared to 45 per cent in favour.

Only 10 per cent supported a full withdrawal from the Golan, as demanded by Syria. More here.

The poll found that 47 per cent expect war with Syria in the next year, while 37 per cent do not, and 76 per cent think Israel would win such a war.

THE Israeli Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, has sent secret messages to Syria offering to discuss handing back the Golan Heights in return for a comprehensive peace agreement, an Israeli newspaper reported yesterday. A peace agreement with assasins? A peace agreement with your mortal enemy? Giving up strategtic high ground to savages? It is not Olmert's to give. IT BELONGS TO ISRAEL.

Citing "a senior political source", the mass daily Yedioth Ahronot said Mr Olmert had conveyed his offer to the Syrian President, Bashar al-Assad, via "the leaders of Germany and Turkey" and their intelligence services, after discussing the offer with the US President, George Bush, several weeks ago.

OMG.

In return for withdrawing from the strategic highlands, Israel wants Syria to gradually end its alliance with Iran, its support for Hezbollah in Lebanon, and its backing for Palestinian militant groups such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad, both of which maintain headquarters in Damascus.

The understanding being Syria is going to throw in with the Jews and abandon Iran.? The Arabs are going to throw in with the Jooooooos? And this on the 40th anniversary to the six day war.

We have lost our minds.

UPDATE READ GLICK. Now. Israel cannot count on America. America screws her friends. FACT. Israel is responsible for Israel.

James Baker's disciples

First, the Americans are pressuring the Olmert government to agree to Palestinian Authority and Fatah chief Mahmoud Abbas's request to bring millions of bullets, thousands of Kalashnikov assault rifles, RPGs, antitank missiles and armored personnel carriers into Gaza from Egypt.

[...]
 

The Bush administration is not just asking Israel to facilitate the arming of its enemies. It is also placing restrictions on Israel's ability to arm itself. As The Jerusalem Post reported on Wednesday, the Pentagon has yet to respond to Israel's request to purchase the F-22 stealth bomber. Moreover, the US seems to be torpedoing Israel's acquisition of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. The Pentagon recently voiced its objection to Israel's plan to install Israeli technology in the jets that are to be supplied starting in 2014. Israel's installation of its own electronic warfare systems in its F-16s and F-15s is what has allowed the IAF to maintain its qualitative edge over Arab states that have also purchased the aircraft.

THE ADMINISTRATION'S display of hostility toward Israel is unfortunately not an aberration. It is the result of a policy shift that occurred immediately after the Republican Party's defeat in the Congressional elections in November.

After the defeat, the administration embraced former secretary of state James Baker's foreign policy paradigm, which is based on the belief that it is possible and desirable to reach a stable balance of power in the Middle East.

As Baker sees it, this balance can be reached by forcing Israel to shrink to its "natural" proportions and assisting supposedly moderate and stable states like Egypt and Saudi Arabia to grow into their "natural" proportions. Once the states of the region (including Syria and Iran, which Baker wishes to appease) have settled into their proper proportions, stability will be ensured.

[...]

Sooner or later the US will pay a price for the Bush administration's decision to embrace the delusion of stability as its strategic goal. With jihadist forces growing stronger around the globe, if the Americans leave Iraq without victory, there is no doubt that Iraq (and Iran and Syria) will come to them.

But whatever the consequences of America's behavior for America, the price that Israel will pay for embracing Baker's myths of stability will be unspeakable.

Read it all.

I share your outrage on this one. Unbelievable.

[Mega]

I read the news earlier today about Israel begging to give back the Golan in return for, well what exactly?, and I was filled with dismay and disillusionment. I don't know how to put it any more simply than this: there is not going to be an Israel in 10 or 20 years if they do not stop giving away their land in a vain effort to get peace and quiet. If they are not willing to fight for every inch of their land, they may as well pack up and leave. How much intelligence and strategic insight is really needed to see that not only the evacuation of Gaza (complete with Temple demolitions), but also leav ing South Lebanon, has vastly, vastly increased the danger and existential threat to the people of Israel? Do you really need to be a political wonderkind to grasp that every inch of land evacuated, and every inch of land pondered for evacuation, encourages the Arabs and whips them into a victory frenzy? Why is this so hard for the Israeli government to understand?

I've also been keeping an eye on the US-Israel situation. As always, Glick nails it down and sums it up with great accuracy and articulateness, but the basic facts have been there for all to see, for at least six months. When Israel lost in Lebanon, it ceased to be a producer of strategic depth for the US, and became a consumer of strategic depth. On top of that came the elections in November, and Bakerism. Baker is not a subtle man. He has had one vision for the middle east for decades, and it can be described in one simple, clear sentence: trade Israel or most of Israel for peace and oil, period, end of story. Israel has always underestimated the danger posed by Baker and his ideas. Baker, and the many who share his views, are back in power. Israel is taking it from all sides now - begging to give back land in what would be an historical admission of weakness and inability to survive in the neighborhood, a US "ally" who doesn't trust Israel to fight and win and therefore is putting its bets on other horses, and enemies who are so charged with victory and supremacy they can hardly contain it.

There is only one possible solution out of this mess: fight, and win.

Dear Pamela;
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! I CAN'T STAND IT!!!!
This news is inordinately appalling.
Why can't the Israelis storm the Bastille, so to speak. They have to get rid of the severely incompetent, treacherous, Mr. Olmert, ASAP!!
And what the hell is the matter with Mr. Bush, and the Pentagon. Doesn't anyone in Washington give a damn if Israel, our only true friend in the Middle East, has the means to defend itself?
And to hell with James Baker, and his kind! And to hell with giving money, and weapons, and ammo to the Palestinian Athority. Gee, ASSHOLES, do you think maybe the people who want to wipe Israel off the map, might use this stuff against the Jews? ANTI-TANK WEAPONS??? Who the hell over there has tanks besides Israel? Does Hamus have tanks? NOOOO!!!
For the ninety-ninth time; THE PALESTINIAN ARABS DON'T WANT A STATE. THEY WANT TO KILL AS MANY JEWS AS THEY POSSIBLY CAN, BEFORE THEY THEMSELVES DIE. And it seems that Bush, Rice, Olmert, many other people who should care, DON"T.
Sincerely;
EJO

About James Baker; I am beginning to suspect the 'mainstream' republicans. The likes of Bush senior, Bush junior, Baker et al are behind some funny manuvers, like NAFTA, amnesty, Fred Thompson, and such.
NAFTA, signed by the Slick Willy was designed to allow manufacturing to go offshore en mass. Amnesty, an attempt to blur the lines between a robust democracy and third world poverty, Freddy Thompson, too good to debate with the common republicans for the nomination arrives late with all the backing and all the red carpet treatment. Go to hell, Fred, we are doing fine with debates and above the table positions. I suspect Freddy did 6 in the Senate for the resume. He sure didn't make a ripple while there.
No, I'm not liken it. Bush is a f***en wet back wannabe, Thompson is a policy robot, NAFTA was a disaster for the lower middle class and I'll make up my own mind about who I want for pres.
Hey, Bushface, built the fence and get back to me. And don't appoint anybody you know in the meantime.

It was no easy task for the Israelis to take the Golan Heights from Syria after being shelled from its heights for 19 years - world pressure was on Israel to give the Golan back years ago. Is Olmert completely crazed! What peace can be attained by giving back such a strategic location? Israel needs to stop worrying about her enemies outside her borders and start worrying about enemies inside her borders.

Pamela, think fast: Are Jews smart, or stupid?

Let's ask the question differently: How many Jews need to be slaughtered before we learn that murderous, heavily armed enemies need to be relentlessly smashed unless and until they give up their will to kill us?

The obvious answer, as of today is: "Not sure, BUT SIX MILLION WASN'T ENOUGH." Think of it: SIX MILLION WASN'T ENOUGH!!

Pamela, and my other fellow Israel-lovers, I have some tough-love advice for you: Israel is cluelessly heading for a mega-attack, which will inflict some 50,000--300,000 dead on her. We need to assume this, internalize it, and proceed with this assumption in mind.

Given this attack, we need to think about STRATEGY FOR THE DAYS AFTER. Basically there will need to be 3 logical responses: an incredibly ruthless internal purge of the Israeli government, which should be liquidated a la Ceaucescu (maybe some street-justice lynchings for some notorious Supreme Court judges, too); an equally ruthless (though less violent) purge of the entire Arab population (apart from the well-known friendlies), which will need to be driven into Lebanon and Syria; and a focused, sustained, even redundant campaign of annihilation against all the major military facilities of Iran.

Israel is like a beloved friend who pretends he doesn't realize that gangrene has infected his arm up to the elbow. "Sorry, but that arm HAS TO GO." Once the arm is cut off, then that will wake up the patient, and he can go on to recover.

Sure will miss that arm, though. :- (

Israel is begging the United States to do something about Iran.

But the State Department wants the Israelis to give up all the territorial gains of '67, because that's what the house of al saud wants. And what the Saudis want, the State Department wants.

Of course this territorial capitulation is supposed to bring in the age of Aquarius I suppose, complete with dancing in the street.

This isn't Olmert's idea, this is the State Department's. This is Condi.

THIS IS BUSH.

If you are going to storm someplace, begin with the Department of State, and the Bureau for Near East Affairs.

Olmert never would have had the nerve to do something like this on his own. The only way he could possible broach it to Parliament is by telling them that the United States desires it.

Don't you remember when the Iraqi Study Group recommended talks with the Iranians. And every Conservative ripped their suggestions. So much so that Bush distanced himself from them. So how did he manage to get himself into talks with the Iranians. HE HAD THE IRAQIS make the overture to the Iranians, and he told furious Conservatives that the United States wasn't talking to Iranians, "we were just sitting at the table." And from being at the table, Bush has now maneuvered, just within a few months, into DIRECT ONE ON ONE discussions wiht the Iranians.

BUSH, CONDI, BAKER, GHWB, GATES, the State Department, THEY'RE the ones dictating Olmert's play.

And Olmert doesn't have the manhood to say no to Washington. Especially when he's begging Washington to do something about the Iranian Manhattan Project.

[tazzerman2000]

Unbelievable! Give back the Golan in return for what exactly? More death, more war, more rockets/shelling, more propaganda and indoctronation of arab and pali youths into the 'death cult' of islam???

This is insane!!!

The time of "land for peace" is over. OVER!

Olmert is playing a VERY dangerous game here. It's akin to waving a red flag in front of a bull..

Israel can NEVER give up the Golan, ever.

Tactically, it would be suicide. The Golan serves as the only buffer between Israel and the Syrians almost like the Sinai affords between Egypt and Israel. Even then, it's very small/thin and really doesn't afford much.

Allowing the Syrians access to the Golan overlooking the Hula valley and the Galilee will sign Israels death warrant...

Bush is not going to take on Iran. America has the capability but not the will. Israel lacks both the capability and the will for an Iran strike. It's hard to believe and accept, but the "world" has decided that Iran is going to get the bomb and it's time to move on to how to accommodate it, and that includes the two powers, the US and Israel, that were at times thought to be likely to try to stop it. No one in the world has the will + capability to stop it. The people who understand that the best are the Iranians. They totally get that nobody and nothing is in their way now.

As to the idea of Osirik II, the IDF was ground to a halt and defeated by 800 terrorists last summer, while the home front turned out not to have a contingency plan for the most obvious facet of 21 century warfare: ballistics.

There is a lot of ground that has to be made up fast. First thing is, get Olmert and Bush out of there before the world truly goes up in smoke

[joeblough]

Olmert and his bunch were obviously unprincipled from the start, and this sort of thing was an obvious danger back when he was first running for office.

That much of this can be laid at Condi's feet is (and the rest of the DC old guard) is at least likely. But it is not enough to blame Condi, who after all, is primarily a mere pragmatist, and not someone who pursues ideological goals.

Israel is not her country and Olmert is not her boss.

If one is going to pursue a policy of trying to cut deals with Syria and Iran, well ...

The idiot Israelis have no right to give their counterparts in DC the idea that this is even within the range of thinkable possibilities. But, much as one might have expected, they have.

The much celebrated Jewish intelligence doesn't seem to apply to common sense in political matters.
