Sleeping Israelis ....

How is it possible that the usually clever Israelis are so void of understanding when it comes to relating to their enemies death wish upon them? It is much like the Jews in Europe whoaccommodate the ever , by continually trying to increasing measures of enmity by the Nazisthat they would thus , thought placate their enemies maybe to let them live their lives in peace however humiliated and abusedone that again . Like a battered woman running after the and again beats her hoping against hope that one day he will live in peace with her.

How is it possible whereas there is such manifold and clear proof and documentation of this that still Israeli politicians and journalists can believe in the stupid assertion that only through negotiations such as Oslo, Camp David, etc, can their finally come peace to this region. Whereas it is clear for anyone who is willing to see that even if an Israeli government would offer more than Ehud Barak did at Camp David there would still not be peace because all the main sections of the Palestinian side still want the destruction or dissolving of all of Israel as the only way to peace in this region.

How is it that Israelis refuse to see and reckon with this absolute clear reality? How much further have they come in resisting and overcoming the death wish of their enemies all of them, including Egypt than the poor Jews of Europe that felt that in order to have a chance to live they had to give in until it was too late! What nonsense is this often-repeated mantra: In the end there is no other way than to go back to the negotiating table. We cannot choose our partners for peace; we just have to find a way to live with them.

What nonsense is this? Did we say that concerning our neighbors in Europe? Did we say in Holland, Denmark and Norway, "We just have to learn to live with Adolf Hitler. We cannot choose our neighbours; we just have to live with them"? There is peace in Europe now for over fifty years because we did not accept Hitler or his Nazi's. In the end we allowed the Allied Armies to win a war not just a battle and endless ceasefires with even more endless negotiations with an unwilling enemy Hitler. We won a war and therefore with God's help and mercy we won a peace that has now lasted for more than half a century. If only Israel's leaders could be as wise as those Western leaders that even when the Nazi's sent their clever 'peace ploys' – men like Rudolf Hess - to Britain to weaken the Allied forces resolve on the way to victory. They were totally ignored and a peace was won not by peace negotiations but by a war that was won.

Peace you do not make with enemies, war you make with enemies and when you win then your enemies will make peace with you! That is the lesson of the histories of war and peace. You have to win a war in order to achieve a peace, Mr. Peres! It was the unwillingness of most European Jewry especially their own leaders that made them such easy victims and objects of Nazi aggression. And if after all we have seen and suffered there are still Israelis who do not believe that the great majority of Muslim Arabs and Palestinians are so pro-Germans or should we say pro-Nazi's - because deep within their hearts they aspire to the same aims as the Nazis the "it bah el Jahud" syndrome the time so fervently hope for by nearly all of themthat Israel will be no more then why do they not listen to what they say among themselves? Why is it that most have no serious problems with what Hitler had done? Why is "Mein Kampf" still required reading in many of their universities and the Holocaust denied?
