Israelis Think No Concession Will Ever Satisfy the West
Commentary Magazine ^ | 12/21/10 | Evelyn Gordon

Posted on 12/21/2010 9:35:49 AM PST by Nachum

A newly released WikiLeaks cable quotes Ron Dermer, a top adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, telling a U.S. diplomat of Israelis’ frustration with the peace process. Surprisingly, however, Dermer didn’t focus primarily on Palestinian behavior. Rather, he charged, “the Israeli public is skeptical regarding the benefits of returning to negotiations” because “all the GOI [government of Israel] has received in return for its efforts [to date] was a ‘slap-down from the international community.’”

Obviously.

Jews are despised and hated by most liberals even though Jews have done them no wrongs.

Sillllly thing that most in the west do not comprehend is whatever happens to Israel happens to US.

You can only partially appease Islam by the removal of Israel. Once Israel is removed, they will feel empowered, then they will want to remove the big satan.

That means the west will be under immediate attack.

The only concession Israel can make to the west is to agree to total extermination of their people.

Too bad they have enough nuclears to vaporize half the planet.

They will use them too, mistake this fact not.

Liberals, who work for the prince of this world, the enemy of God,

are naturally going to hate His chosen people.

How many ‘nuclears’ does it take to vaporize half the planet?

Israelis’ frustration with the peace process

There is no peace process. The incentives are backward. Its all based on paying the arabs not to commit barbarities. They do something awful. You pay them to stop. They do something else, and you pay them again.

Their whole economy is based on being paid to stop what they are doing. If they ever really stop, they are just a backwater postage stamp of a territory with no economy whatever. They will never stop, because the moment they do is the moment they vanish into irrelevance. The people who run this place are not interested in being mayors of crappy cities; they are there to wage war and nothing more.

So reverse the wiring. Refuse to negotiate them. Punish attacks by annexing land permanently. At the moment their violence costs them nothing, in fact it is the source of their income. To reverse that, you have to make it cost and you do that by seizing land in answer to every attack.

In any case, there is no peace process. War is coming. Get ready for it. Nothing you do will prevent it or even delay it by much. They are getting ready and you had better be ready too. Because the next one will probably the worst one yet, and its probably going to happen before Obama leaves office.

They’re right. Please stop trying to “satisfy the West,” and just think about your own survival.

It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace—but there is no peace [process]. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! -- Patrick Henry

And many Jews are liberals themselves, and are apparently self-hating.

They do not grasp that no matter what they do or say, they have the same enemies as the most Orthodox or conservative Jew. They have the same enemies as the most Zionist Israeli Jew.

They do not grasp that their enemies hate them every bit as much and desire their bloody, painful demise every bit as ardently.

The rest of us non-Jews are not far behind in their hatred and desires for our blood. Liberal, conservative, Christian, atheist, Hindu, Buddhist, agnostic, Bahai, pagan, it does not matter! Refusal to admit to a common enemy is beyond foolish.

60 or so 50mt city busters will suffice.

The vaporize thing may have been an overreach.

Most will simply starve in the aftermath as global crop failures ensue.

Not that anyone cares about those people.

No, the West will be content if most Israelis leave the country and the remainder agree to live under Arab rule. What they want is for the State of Israel to disappear.

Israel is not a colony of the west, as far as I know.

They should stop acting like one.
