The news of the Oslo 2 signing in Washington, splashed all over the evening news and the following morning's papers, was accompanied by pictures of Peace Now activists and Arab residents of Deheishe, near Bet Lechem, tearing down the fence that surrounds the community. The fence was erected eight years ago to protect drivers on the nearby road from stones being lobbed from inside the town.
I suppose Peace Now was just waiting for the opportunity to remove yet another defensive measure meant to protect Jews. The Arabs in the community certainly welcomed the assistance, claiming that they support the process of Arafat and Rabin. It is only a matter of days, however, until stones are once again endangering the lives of nearby motorists.
And then there is the always present ranting of Shulamit Aloni, the duchess of disloyalty. In light of the Oslo 2 agreement, which provides for the release of about 3000 Arab terrorists from Israeli jails, there has been some discussion of also releasing Jewish political prisoners. Among these is Ami Popper, who is convicted of murdering an Arab in response to Intifadah violence.
In an interview on Israel Radio, Aloni stated that she is against the release of Popper, claiming that, "he (Popper) is a murderer. The Arab terrorists that are being freed are freedom fighters that were fighting for the liberation of their land."
So here we have the most blatant betrayal yet of Jewish lives, interests, safety, and homeland by the Grand Mistress herself. All of a sudden, the murder and wanton injury of every single Jew in Israeli history is legitimate beacuse the Arabs are, after all, only fighting for their land. Since when is Israel an Arab land? Since when is it okay to kill Jews? For any reason? If Jews who kill Arabs in self-defense are murderers, and of course those who kill Arabs in defense of homeland are likewise murderers, why are Arabs who do the same so praiseworthy? Even Jews who do not kill anyone are criminals just for being there (see previous article).
But according to Aloni, Arabs are not murderers. Bus bombers are not murderers, axe-wielding terrorists who behead their victims in the presence of the victims' children are not murderers, killers of the aged, women, and children are not murderers. All these deserve the support of Shulamit Aloni. Actually, maybe this is a good thing. Aloni's support cannot but hurt anyone given her distorted and sick version of reality. If she were on Israel's side, Israel should be that much worse off.
The problem is that she is nominally on Israel's side. She is a member of the Israeli cabinet, and the leader of the third-largest party in the Israeli Knesset. Never before has Israel been left in the hands of such a hateful and manipulative demon as Aloni. Never has any group shown so much hatred of Jews and everything Jewish as Peace Now. The two belong to each other.
I have just one question for Aloni. If she believes, as she said, that Israel is the Arab homeland, what is she doing there. Let her leave Israel, just as she wishes all other Jews should, and move to the Diaspora where her rantings can be properly ignored by the world and she can live the life of disgrace she deserves. After all, the Israel Foreign Ministry misquoted Rabin as wishing everyone a "Happy New York" in his Washington speech. Maybe Aloni would be better understood there.
