1. There are 400,000,000 million Moslems living in 15 Moslem countries in the Middle East. None of them enjoy the benefits of democracy. Tens of millions of them suffer from the barbaric cruelty of brutal and repressive Islamic regimes. 200,000,000 of these people are women who suffer from the fundamental limitations and restrictions that their religion imposes on them together with endemic abuse and systematic discrimination. Millions of Christians who live in these countries are living with terrible oppression and danger.

2. Less than 2 million Moslems live in Yehuda and Shomron. 97% of them already live under the PA regime. Only 3% live under Israeli control.

3. On every occasion in which a Middle East / Moslem territory has been vacated in the last few decades, the vacated area has fallen under the control of terrorists. It happened in Sinai, Lebanon, Gaza, Libya, Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq. Two of these areas - South Lebanon and Gaza are already controlled by Hizbolla and Hamas - both terrorist organizations whose objective is aimed that the destruction of Israel. Together with this Hamas already make up the majority of the Moslem population in the area that “they” want Israel to vacate.

Against this background there is something madly misguided and wildly irresponsible in the obsessive demand that Israel should withdraw from territories that are strategically crucial to Israel’s security when everyone knows that any vacated areas would fall under the control of terrorists. There is no possibility that such a withdrawal could result in “peace”. It can only result in more hostility and war. Any yet the demands continue under the heading of a “peace” process.
