'Obama is Responsible for the Crisis in Jerusalem'

Why, then, the outbreak of violence now? Why Hamas's "day of rage" over Jerusalem and the Palestinian Authority's call to gather on the Temple Mount to "save" the Dome of the Rock from non-existent plans to build the Third Temple? Why the sudden outrage over rebuilding a synagogue, destroyed by the Jordanians in 1948, in the Old City's Jewish Quarter, when dozens of synagogues and yeshivas have been built in the quarter without incident?

The answer lies not in Jerusalem but in Washington. By placing the issue of building in Jewish neighborhoods in East Jerusalem at the center of the peace process, President Obama has inadvertently challenged the Palestinians to do no less.

Astonishingly, Obama is repeating the key tactical mistake of his failed efforts to restart Middle East peace talks over the last year.

Of course he is.

Arabic for “courage” (Remember the news story of a couple of days ago? [”Obama says lawmakers need ‘courage’ to pass health reform this week” http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/314224,obama-says-lawmakers-need-courage-to-pass-health-reform-this-week.html])

“Hamas - Literally, “zeal” or “courage” in Arabic. It is also an acronym that stands for Islamic Resistance Movement, a militant Islamist Palestinian organization that opposes the existence of the state of Israel and favors the creation of an Islamic state in Palestine. Founded in 1987 in Gaza — and briefly encouraged by Israel as a counter to the PLO — it participated actively in the first intifada against Israel’s occupation. It began terrorist attacks on Israel in the late 1980s. Initially it opposed the 1993 Oslo peace agreement between the PLO and Israel, but it cooperated intermittently with the agreement during the 1990s. Since the outbreak of the second intifada in 2000, it has been one of the primary military organizations carrying out attacks on Israeli settlers, soldiers and civilians”

- March 18, 1968: In Israel, Yasser Arafat led his first “successful” terrorist strike against Jews. He had achieved first blood. A bus carrying schoolchildren from Tel Aviv on a fieldtrip to the Negev Desert was blown up when it hit an improvised explosive device planted by al-Fatah twelve miles north of the southern Israeli town of Elat. Two Israeli adults were killed and 28 children had their bodies mangled, mutilated, and burned in the blast.

Arafat would eventually return to school and he would ultimately serve as a second lieutenant in the Egyptian Army - things the Muslim Brotherhood encouraged. Then the man who would become the living embodiment of terror moved to Kuwait in 1959. With the help of Muslim Khalil al-Wazir Abu Jihad, Arafat founded al-Fatah - meaning “the conquest.”.

The aspiring terrorist received all of his initial funding from OPEC Emirs in Kuwait. He must have woven a grand story of Islamic conquest because Fatah’s first terrorist act wasn’t until 1965. And even then it was a failed attempt to bomb an Israeli water-pumping station.

In 1967, following the Islamic defeat during the Six-Day War, Yasser Arafat escaped Israel by crossing the Jordan River dressed as a woman carrying a baby. It would become symbolic of his life.

Prior to the Spring of 1968, Arafat and his Fatah were relatively meaningless to Israel. But after their deadly terrorist attack on the Israeli school bus, the young nation was provoked into holding the Al-Karameh Palestinians accountable for what they had done to their children. And while the battle was won overwhelmingly by Israel, Arafat ignored the facts in true Islamic fashion, and the aspiring terrorist called his defeat a “great victory.” The battle was detailed by Time Magazine and Yasser Arafat, whose ugly mug was placed on the cover, became the stuff of legend.

The world’s most famous terrorist became an Islamic hero by mutilating Israeli school children. He was touted as “the man who could stand up to the Jews.” As a result, young Muslims desiring the thrill of jihad, flocked to him and to Fatah. That brought with it an unprecedented gusher of OPEC funding. The world would never be the same.

And so it was, the Egyptian born, Kuwaiti financed, and Muslim Brotherhood corrupted terrorist became the embodiment of Islam’s quest to rule the world and rid the planet of Infidels and Jews. The Era of Islamic terror had begun.
