Peace Stalkers vs. Annihilationists

I once had a boyfriend who liked me more than I liked him. He was a musician - with me so far? Good. I thought it best to end things rather than lead him on. He would not take no for an answer. No matter how firm and definite - he pursued with singular determination. He did not hear a word I said. No matter how many times. And so I refused to see him or talk to him. He would wait outside my building .......... until one day the cops had to be called because he had a rifle.

Fast forward Annapolis.

What part of NO don't we understand?

The Palis, the Islamazis, the Arab world has been unequivocal in their refusal to recognize Israel. Every year, every decade, every war, every intifada .......... it has always been the same. Always. The Saudis would not even shake hands with Israel at Annapolis.  Wishing and hoping and dreaming and praying and land givebacks and billions  in aid and arms and food and medicine and all those delicious carrots the West is so good at handing over has made no difference. None. Today the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran calls for Death to Israel and Death to America.

And still we stalk. No matter what. We suspend our disbelief. We stalk for peace. We won't fight for peace.  We will beg, cajole, buy off,  sleep with evil men, fund terror, ignore everything the enemy is insisting on ........ we will do everything, except what must be done to create a real peace - fight. Self defend.

The only time Israel had a modicum of peace  was after she beat back the invasion of five Arab countries during the six day war and crushed the enemy. That's the fact. And the international communitay has been punishing Israel ever since.

Hamas Document Forbids Concessions in Annapolis. We shake hands and kiss the ass of  Abbass - powerless to effect change (not that he would if he could, he is a disciple of Arafatbastard after all and Hamas was elected) and coo to each other and the other leftarded self deniers that this time, this time, it will be kismet! And each time Israel is weakened and smaller (literally.)

So, let's access the the profile of our "Partner if Peace".  One does not have to be a forensic expert to say, we'll sooner see a circumcised Prophet Moe than a cozing up to the Jews.

Day after Annapolis: Palestinian Authority TV shows" Palestine" map erasing Israel

Further, what the Gaza Arabs and the rest of the Arab world teach their children is germaine to any future prospects to a more peaceful co-existence........... check out this excerpt from - Clouds Over Annapolis  By David Bedein FrontPageMagazine

A pre-Annapolis briefing was conducted by the Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education, dedicated to the research of school curricula and textbooks throughout the Middle East. Since its creation in 1998, it has researched school textbooks, teachers' guides and syllabi used by the Palestinian Authority, Israel, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Iran. The briefing was conducted by the Institute's director, Dr. Yohanan Manor and by the Arabic language expert who translates the schoolbooks, Dr. Arnon Groiss. The context of the briefing was that the PA has now completed its seven-year project of replacing textbooks that had been in use from Jordan and Egypt, in the West Bank and Gaza respectively, with ones they have produced using funding received from 14 nations, including the US.

This briefing constituted an overview of the material, with special emphasis on the new 11th and 12th grade books. All of the PA texts have now been studied and translated by the Institute under the supervision of Dr. Groiss. In all cases, assessment of material is based on 10 criteria established by UNESCO as well as two other factors:

1)      How is the 'other' perceived?

2)      Does the education foster peace?

The conclusions, which are posted in great detail on the Institute's website are that:

*Jews are represented as foreigners without rights in the land. There are no Jewish holy places. For example, Rachel's Tomb is alluded to as "Bilal bin Rabbah Mosque."

*Palestinian Arabs are seen as the only legitimate inhabitants of the land, descended from the Canaanites and Jebusites, who are said to be Arabs.

*When information is taught to Palestinian Arab children about the inhabitants of the land, Jews are excluded.

*Israel is not taught of as a legitimate state. Israel is presented to a new generation of Palestinian Arab school children as a Zionist, imperialist, western, racist usurper.

* “Israel” is omitted from all Palestinian political maps. One book did reproduce two Israeli maps. When Israel must be alluded to in the Palestinian Arab classroom, alternative terms are used, such as “pre-1948 lands.”

For example:

From Modern History of Palestine, Grade 11, 2006:

“The green line is an imaginary line separating land occupied before 1967 and land occupied after.”

*Palestine is presented as an existing sovereign state, established in 1988.

*Jews are demonized, seen as a hostile enemy, and as the source of all evils in the Palestinian society, e.g., cause of drug addiction. Twenty-five crimes against the Palestinians are enumerated in the Palestinian class room.

*Individual Jews are never mentioned, and the humanity of the Jews is lost.

*The fabricated, anti-Semitic “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” was represented in a text as factual. When representatives of Belgium, which underwrote production of this book, were informed, they protested and a new version of the book, omitting the “Protocols” was published. However, the old version is the only version available in Palestinian Authority bookstores and there is no evidence that the new version is actually in use in the schools.

*Praise of jihad and martyrdom remains another aspect of the Palestinian curriculum.

*As an integral part of the Palestinian curriculum, armed groups are celebrated.

'Hi, My Name is Israel and I am a Peace Process Addict'

Just a day after Israeli and Palestinian leaders at the Annapolis peace conference pledged to negotiate a peace treaty by the end of 2008, Mahmoud Abbas’s Palestinian Authority continues to paint a picture for its people of a world without Israel. More at PMW

Israel needs to start painting a picture of lots of dead arabs especially those in israel who as migrant squatters need to go back to whatever toilet they came from and create their slums there

I share the intense frustration of this particular article. Annapolis was misguided to an extreme we have not seen since Clinton. Rice is out of control, and Bush seems to have gone along with it, god knows for what reason. I still hold onto the belief that Bush knows better, but what does it matter if he does, at this point.

The Arabs have made it clear, before, during, and after this sham, that they have no intention of EVER recognizing Israel as a Jewish state. So what does Israel think it's negotiating? If they are not going to get recognition, what is the purpose of making concessions? It doesn't make any sense.

Peace does not come from conferences. Peace comes from one side winning, and the other side losing. This has been recognized by all effective leaders and powers throughout recorded history. The inability of Israel's government to understand that the violence won't stop until they either win or lose is mind-numbing.

I hope that the IDF is in detailed, thorough preparations for the year to come. There is no doubt in my mind, none, that Annapolis is going to open a new chapter in the middle east, marked by even more, and even more continuous, violence than we have seen so far. Intifada III is months, or maybe weeks, off.

I'd make some more disparaging comments about Rice, but really, what is the point. Her tailspin and desperate thrashing around for a Big Success, in this particular case at the expense of Israel, speaks for itself.

Finally, I ask again, as I have asked many times on this board. Does Israel have an electorate that gets to choose its leaders, or not? Their leaders are not just unqualified; they are suicidal. Can't the Israelis pick some new leaders, or am I missing something?

pamela:

i will be succinct.

this was a wonderfully written post. brilliantly written.

it very cogently, concisely and passionately points out that a vision of peace is pathologically delusional when it ignores reality, history, and the words and conduct of those who have absolutely no intention in sharing that vision.

annapolis is pathological delusion.

i agree with mega, it leads inexorably to war.
