Everybody Surrenders, Why Not Israel? [Zechariah 12]

Between 1948 and 1967, the Arabs knew the shame of disastrous defeats in three wars, but they never gave up, and now again are trying to flood the small Jewish island formed in their boundless ocean. It was predictable; sooner or later it had to happen.

The Arabs are always looking to the past and and seem unable to turn towards a future where there is the State of Israel. Theirs is a kind of hypnosis: destroy Israel, whatever the cost. From the Palestinian Arabs to the Islamic State to Hezbollah, they stay alive and vibrate at the thought of seizing the enemy by the throat and drowning him in the Mediterranean.

In the refusal to allow acceptance and in the boycott of the State of Israel, Europe also expresses a spirit of shame with regard to the great historical and moral values of which it has been the bearer for centuries.
