Death is the Solution

[Lando Lincoln]

From the reaction to the Israeli assassination of Hamas’ “Spiritual Leader”, Sheik Yasin, in some quarters you’d have thought that the Israelis had entered and defiled the Church of the Nativity. No, wait, it was the Palestinians who did that. Well, forget about that then. The primary reaction from European and Western sources was to exclaim their hatred for Yasin’s role in the mass-murder of innocent Israelis, but an equal concern for the fate of the so-called “peace process”. Frankly, I can barely speak the word without spitting it out. As Patrick Henry said, “Peace? But there is no peace. The war is actually begun.”

The only regret I have about Israel’s actions against Sheik Yasin is that they didn’t bomb his funeral procession. Anyone showing up to pay their respects to that man deserved to die. Such an action would have brought about a very great reduction in the terrorist population of the territories.

It’s time that we all face facts: there will never be peace in Israel so long as the Palestinians remain determined to wipe Israel from the map. Anyone who believes for a single second that the creation of a Palestinian microstate in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza would alleviate the problem is deluding themselves. At Camp David four years ago, Ehud Barak offered Arafat everything that the Palestinians could ever hope to get from Israel and then some. Arafat turned him down without making so much as a counter-offer and, as frightening as it sounds, whoever finally follows Arafat is likely to be much less of a “moderate” than he. Make no mistake: this is a fight to the death. It will be over only when one side destroys the other altogether.

So what is Israel to do? Should we expect it to meekly submit to its own destruction? Do we honestly think that, if we were in the same position, we would tolerate the random murder of civilians on a regular basis? Understand this: as a percentage of the population, every Israeli Jew lost is roughly the same as sixty Americans. I do not mean this in the sense of worth; I mean that in terms of how each loss is felt across the nation as a whole. Imagine if Chicago lost a dozen people in a suicide bombing about every other week. As a percentage of the population, Israel’s thousand dead is the rough equivalent of 60,000 dead. If there were 60,000 Americans killed, at random, across the country how many do you think you would have known? As percentage of the population, Israel’s seven thousand casualties would be the equivalent of 420,000. Do you think you would have known any of them? Or been any of them?

Israel is in a war. To expect them to simply make “peace” with those who have murdered scores of their people at random is an absurdity. There can be no peace with killers and savages.

In the long term, there is only a single plausible solution: the transfer of the Palestinian and potentially disloyal Israeli Arab populations. Absent this, it is inevitable that Israel will be destroyed by either military force or demographic trends. As Benny Morris, the foremost chronicler of the original displacement of the Arab population of Israel has explained, the ultimate survival of Israel depends upon the coercive relocation of the Moslems located within Israel’s borders.

Now, naturally, this will not be possible absent a major crisis. The outrage of the international community, were Israel to undertake such a policy as a bolt from the blue, would be such that it could conceivably even bring some sort of international action against Israel. Such a policy could only be implemented in the immediate aftermath of a major atrocity against the Israeli people.

So what, then, is the solution? First of all, provisions and plans must be made for the displacement of the Palestinians under emergency conditions. After all, without such plans, the aftermath of a nuclear attack would probably feature only limited attacks by localized groups against the Palestinians, versus a concerted effort to assure Israel’s long-term security.

In the interim, the Israeli Government must walk a fine line. It cannot lose international support, but it also cannot allow the development of a Palestinian state which would receive international recognition. Second, it must protect its own citizens from terrorist attacks. To me, this calls for a policy of building (and strengthening) the defensive wall around Israel, which will keep out individual suicide bombers, and for stonewalling on any negotiations (or, better yet, engaging in and then disrupting them ad naseum).

The solution called for is more death for Palestinian terrorists, their supporters, and their sympathizers.

Not only would I bomb his funeral procession, but I'd put the splattered image of yassin's head (like a pea pod) on a commemorative stamp and offer it for sale in post offices everywhere.

Stop trying to cheer us up.

Near as I can tell, "palestinians" ALL support the terrorists. The only feasible solution is to move the "palestinians" to some part of the muslim world at least 500 miles from Israel.

The only regret I have about Israel?s actions against Sheik Yasin is that they didn?t bomb his funeral procession


You're such a softy! LOL

dang! if only they had thought of that I could have given a 2nd round of cheers.

[ezo4]

kill em all Israel ....and be done with it already.

[GottaLuvAkitas1]

I have a question I hope you can clear it up for me.

If the males are rewarded with 70+ virgins if they kill for the cause, then what do the women get?

I can tell you MOST WOMEN DON'T WANT A VIRGIN! Not in this life or the after-life.
so what do the women get that is worthwhile?


* wouldn't it be funny if when the males died that the virgins waiting for them were Transvestites?* LOL

Wouldn't that be a nice and final kick in the NADS! LOL

[maryz]

It's a way to explain percentages to the simple-minded.

You're right, of course. But I think the most illuminating analogy I've seen is one suggested by a Freeper: Israel is comparable in size and population to New Jersey; picture NJ suffering the attacks Israel has.

bump and thanks!

the only false note in this excellent article is at the conclusion: "Israel cannot lose international support". WHAT international support??!! Even Jack Straw was whining about Yassims death...

I'd like to share your view, but that will never happen. Political Correctness, the cults of "Multiculturalism" "Tolerance" and "Liberalism" are too deeply entrenched in the American system at every level and they will cost us.

We'd sooner let terrorists continue to strike us at home than do what you suggested, which is of course the only effective means to end terrorism and establish real homeland security. Sucks, but there it is.

[Robert_Paulson2]

at some point, it is likely that via the PC you mentioned, they will either collapse the government or push the rednecks and state militias to end the problem.

by then it will be too late.
about that, you are right.
