Sharon Warns Bush: Do Not Attack Israel

PM Sharon To Bush: 'Don't Appease The Arabs At Our Expense'

Prime Minister Ariel Sharon held a press conference last night following the downing of the Russian passenger plane over the Black Sea - which took off from Israel's Ben Gurion Int'l airport with mostly Israelis on board - and in the wake of the deadly Arab terrorist attack in Afula which claimed the lives of three Israeli citizens.

Sharon said: "Today a Russian plane en route from Tel Aviv to Novosibirsk, carrying 66 passengers and 12 crewmen, went down. This is a terrible tragedy for both Israel and Russia. I spoke today with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and we agreed on full cooperation between Israel and Russia in investigating this tragic incident. I have also instructed Israel's Minister of Transportation, Dr. Ephraim Sneh, to coordinate activities in this regard."

"Today, Israel suffered another heinous Palestinian terrorist attack [in Afula], which took a heavy toll: Three dead and seven wounded. All our efforts to reach a cease-fire have been torpedoed by the Palestinians. The fire did not cease, not even for one day. The Cabinet has therefore instructed our security forces to take all necessary measures to bring full security to the citizens of Israel. We can rely on ourselves only."

"We are currently in the midst of a complex and difficult political campaign. I call on the Western democracies, and primarily the leader of the free world, the United States: Do not repeat the dreadful mistake of 1938, when enlightened European democracies decided to sacrifice Czechoslovakia for 'a convenient temporary solution.' Do not try to appease the Arabs at our expense - this is unacceptable to us. Israel will not be Czechoslovakia. Israel will fight terrorism."

"There is no 'good terrorism' and 'bad terrorism,' as there is no 'good murder' and 'bad murder.' Terrorism, as we witnessed this week in Elei Sinai, is worse than murder. We have been fighting terrorism for over 100 years. Unfortunately, there is no swift and immediate solution, but if we confront this terrorism united, we will be able to overcome it and bring peace. And we shall overcome."

Since the Prime Minister's speech last night, more details surrounding the downing of the passenger plane have been uncovered. While conflicting reports continue to emanate from the Russian media regarding the recovered cockpit of the plane, Russian authorities released an official statement today saying that the door to the cockpit had holes in it which resemble those of bullets. Further examination is necessary to verify that the holes were caused by bullets.

United States officials say that the plane was apparently downed accidentally by a surface-to-air missile during a large-scale Ukrainian military exercise. But, Ukraine says that the plane was far out of range of any missiles used in the exercise.

Sixteen bodies have been pulled from the water. An Israel Air Force Hercules cargo flight with search and recovery teams on board is still awaiting the necessary permits to enable it to takeoff and join the rescue efforts in the Black Sea. An Israel Navy ship will also join the search early next week.

Why The Warning?

Israel has fought the US before as many FR posts mention. US naval officers are questioned about their willingness to fire upon Israel.

The next mid east war is expected to include Israel, as a target for US ships.

The "unacceptable" warning to Bush's unacceptable pragmatism has its root in the article found below.

Only Israel has the military capability to defeat the NWO, and deserve moral, financial, and military sacrifice from any patriot, whether you personally like Jews or not.

The Seizure Of Czechoslovakia

On 31st August, 1938 Hitler approved a memorandum by Jodl dated 24th August, 1938, concerning the timing of the order for the invasion of Czechoslovakia and the question of defense measures. This memorandum contained the following:

"Operation Gruen will be set in motion by means of an 'incident' in Czechoslovakia, which will give Germany provocation for military intervention. The fixing of the exact time for this incident is of the utmost importance."

These facts demonstrate that the occupation of Czechoslovakia had been planned in detail long before the Munich Conference.

In the month of September, 1938, the conferences and talks with military leaders continued. In view of the extraordinarily critical situation which had arisen, the British Prime Minister, Mr. Chamberlain, flew to Munich and then went to Berchtesgaden to see Hitler. On the 22 September Mr. Chamberlain met Hitler for further discussions at Bad Godesberg. On the 26th September, 1938, Hitler said in a speech in Berlin, with reference to his conversation:

"I assured him, moreover, and I repeat it here, that when this problem is solved there will be no more territorial problems for Germany in Europe; and I further assured him that from the moment when Czechoslovakia solves its other problems that is to say, when the Czechs have come to an arrangement with their other minorities, peacefully and without oppression, I will be no longer interested in the Czech State, and that as far as I am concerned I will guarantee it. We don't want any Czechs."

On the 29th September, 1938, after a conference between Hitler and Mussolini and the British and French Prime Ministers in Munich, the Munich Pact was signed, by which Czechoslovakia was required to acquiesce in the cession of the Sudetenland to Germany. The "piece of paper" which the British Prime Minister brought back to London signed by himself and Hitler, expressed the hope that for the future Britain and Germany might live without war. That Hitler never intended to adhere to the Munich Agreement is shown by the fact that a little later he asked the defendant Keitel for information with regard to the military force which in his opinion would be required to break all Czech resistance in Bohemia and Moravia. Keitel gave his reply on the 11th October, 1938. On the 11th October, 1938 a directive was issued by Hitler, and countersigned by the Defendant Keitel, to the Armed Forces on their future tasks, which stated:

"Liquidation of the remainder of Czechoslovakia. It must be possible to smash at any time the remainder of Czechoslovakia if her policy should become hostile towards Germany."

On the 14th March, 1939, the Czech President Hacha and his Foreign Minister Chvalkovsky came to Berlin at the suggestion of Hitler, and attended a meeting at which the Defendants Ribbentrop, Goering, and Keitel were present, with others. The proposal was made to Hacha that if he would sign an agreement consenting to the incorporation of the Czech people in the German Reich at once, Bohemia and Moravia would be saved from destruction. He was informed that German troops had already received orders to march and that any resistance would be broken with physical force. The Defendant Goering added the threat that he would destroy Prague completely from the air. Faced by this dreadful alternative, Hacha and his Foreign Minister put their signatures to the necessary agreement at 4:30 in the morning, and Hitler and Ribbentrop signed on behalf of Germany.

On the 15 March German troops occupied Bohemia and Moravia, and on 16 March the German decree was issued incorporating Bohemia and Moravia into the Reich as a protectorate, and this decree was signed by the Defendants Ribbentrop and Frick.

Are you on medication ?

it's time for Israel's leaders to join Good in the final battle.


But this will be not possible as long as agents of satan like Peres continue in the government.

It's like watching WWII all over again, the capitulation of the west to our enemies demands until the enemy has no reason to believe they will be opposed in any demands or action they take until it's too late and a World War breaks out.

Chris Matthews was just offering comments on MSNBC and flipped out angrily over Sharon's comments. And to think, this is merely the beginning, and we haven't even started yet.

The problem is that the establishment of Israel in Palestine in 1948 was an imbecility on the same scale as Woodrow Wilsons establishment of Checkoslovakia after WWI

We need to correct this error before we have another World War. We should grant all Israelis immediate US Citizenship and bring them here. We should convert Jerusalem into a Religious Theme Park run by Disney or Warner, or Six Flags. We should return the rest of the territory to the Palestinians.

The Jews lost any right to land in the Midle East when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem over 1900 years ago. It was hubris for the Allies to try to give them someone elses land in 1948.

Thanks for this posting!!

Israel CANNOT TRUST either the U.N., or the Muslim Empire, and now, sadly the U.S.A. too.
The very 'founding' principle of the Israeli state 'is' SOVEREIGNTY!! ("Never-Again" by anybody!!)
ALL 'SOCIALIST-INTERNATIONALISTS' are the very real potential 'baiters' of Israel!
THE INTERNATIONAL-COALITION is the 'New' U.N. (created out of "America's 'New' War".)
Israel (Sharon) now 'sees' this.
Israel is now going to be 'forced' to newly ALIGN itself with a 'New' CONTINENTAL SOUTHERN EUROPE ALLIANCE!!
IMHO I believe this is how Sharon sees the 'new' NWO situation.
Scary
IMHO

While some here obviously have different priorities, I will stand by our Commander-in-Chief, G.W. Bush.

American foreign policy should be predicated on American interests and not those of foreign powers.

I also believe that this nation should comport itself under the aegis of the Just War Doctrine. To date, I am unaware of any actions by the US since 9/11 that would be opposed to the principles contained within such a doctrine of conduct.

Paraphrasing your statement, "the [Arabs] lost any right to land in the Midle East when the [Israelis] destroyed [them on the field of battle] over [30] years ago. It [is] hubris for [anyone] to try to give them someone else's land in [2001]."

Funny, but Israel is the most Socialist of any State bordering the Mediteranean. Maybe an alliance would force them to get off the US dole and become capitalists.

Read between the lines:

"we will use nuclear weapons if you do not support us as we wish"

Israel is threatening the U.S. as much as they are the arabs.

I agree completely - why should Israel exist? Because fifty+ years ago the world said it should. ...and if that's not enough, then because Israel will kick your ass if you go to war with them.

No. They are saying that they will defend themselves against Arab attacks, even though the U.S. is pressuring them not to.
