The Frum thesis sounds right to me. In Britain since July 7th, political figures have twisted themselves into pretzels trying to explain how suicide bombers in London are somehow different from suicide bombers in Tel Aviv – unwilling, even as the double-deckers are exploding across Bloomsbury, to abandon their fetishization of the Palestinian cause, and unable to see that in an ever more Islamified continent the Europeans are the new Jews. Maybe an Islamist statelet on the Mediterranean will concentrate even European minds.

Yup

Steyn, Victor Davis Hanson, and Ann Coulter are my three favorites. I learn so much from them and can only dream of writing like them, so I'll just say thanks.

Ah, well. Even when Ariel Sharon hands them a great “victory”, some Palestinians can’t stop blowing themselves up long enough to celebrate it.

Steyn brings pointing out the obvious into an art form. Bravo.

Beautiful! Thanks for posting this.

Under cover of “stability”, the situation always deteriorates.

Such a true statement, and can be applied to nearly everything.

Eureka! Finally I see it!

Give the Arabs FRANCE. When they have their own nation in Europe they will stop all terrorism.

I love Steyn and his heart is in the right place, but he is utterly wrong about this issue. It is not a clever backhanded piece of "be careful what you wish for". It is simply surrender and craven appeasement of implacable murderers, paid by the entire world to kill Jews for a living, rewarded and feted for it, who know no other occupation. Europe has pushed it precisely in the hope that said murderers will kill Jews instead of Londoners. You might as readily describe walking to the gas chambers as a cunning move to put the Nazis in the wrong. It is all utter madness.

The Palestinians have never been interested in statehood. No one asks why they never created a state between 1948 and 1967 when Israel wasn't in the West Bank and Gaza. Or why the Palestinians haven't taken advantage of the Oslo Decade to establish the foundations for an independent existence. Its much easier to live off the dole of international charity and blame the Jews for your backwardness and then mass murder them out of sheer spite. Israel has called the world's bluff. The Palestinian issue is just another of the many guises of anti-semitism that have existed since Time Immemorial.

Wow! I hope my all-time favorite columnist takes adequate security precautions; he must drive the left absolutely nuts!
