Executive Summary

This document examines the broad structure of the strategic predicament facing the State of Israel today. I look at the main forces aligned against the State of Israel, and then examine the two obvious possible objections to the prediction of imminent danger of destruction. Done with that, I examine an important aspect of the laws governing political behavior in the Western world, which produce an excellent opportunity for winning the propaganda war against Israel and defusing the current diplomatic process that is setting the stage for its destruction. The defense of Israel, I argue, is the same thing as the defense of the West. The sooner Westerners realize it (and time is indeed short), the better the chances for preserving our way of life.

The situation is bad but it is not hopeless: there is a way out. During the 1930s, Western leaders did not defend the West: they "appeased" Adolf Hitler, the leading antisemite, giving him everything he wanted and allowing him to conquer Europe. Today, our Western leaders are doing the same thing: they are appeasing those who wish to murder Jews and oppress us all, and in some cases they are appeasing Muslim organizations that in fact trace their roots to the German Nazis. In this universe, when you repeat the causes, you repeat the effects. But we have an advantage: we know the past. We have seen this movie before, and we know how it ends. So we can take steps now to make it impossible for our Western leaders to continue down this road. This document, then, after explaining the perils in the current strategic situation, will explain how those of us who love liberty can still win.
 

Introduction: A global perspective on Israel
______________________________________

Antisemitism is a world force. This was demonstrated with a vengeance in the mid-twentieth century when antisemitism produced a World War. Somthing else that was demonstrated in the mid-twentieth century is this: the best way to defend the West from German Nazism was, first, to defend the Jews. The Nazis took power because ordinary Westerners largely cooperated with the persecution of the Jews, then paid the price in the loss of all personal liberties, and in a great many lives lost, when the Nazis took over all of Europe.

Antisemitism continues to be a world force.

Today, though the State of Israel is one of the world’s smallest states, and though the Arab-Israeli conflict, since the last major war in 1973, has actually produced relatively few casualties compared to most other contemporary ethnic conflicts, the world hardly talks about anything else. Moreover, much of world geopolitics is justified publicly as revolving around the Arab-Israeli conflict, and the world superpower, the European states, and the Muslim states are all heavily involved in trying to determine the future of the Middle East.

In this process, Israel has been treated with tremendous unfairness. In point of fact Israel has never oppressed the Muslims in the disputed territories, and this population actually never had it better than when ruled directly by the Israelis. They were certainly treated a million times better than ordinary Arabs living in Arab states.[1] The Muslims in the disputed territories have been oppressed ever since they got a PLO/Fatah or else Hamas government as a result of the Oslo ‘Peace’ Process.[2] And yet, despite this, Israel is routinely condemned at the United Nations by a chorus of states in which many truly repressive governments are included -- governments that are hardly ever singled out for criticism at the UN. To give just one example, the UN hardly makes an issue of ongoing outright slavery in Saudi Arabia[3]; it is much more concerned about blaming Israel for the suffering of the ‘Palestinian Arabs’ (which Israel is not responsible for). As somebody once said, it is obvious that “Israel is the Jew among the nations.”

But if for every action there is a reaction, and if the reaction will be proportional to the action, then it must be true that antisemitism is a world force only because Judaism, too, is a world force. Mass killings of Jews recur in the history of the West and of the Muslim world because Jewish ideology is a threat to those ruling classes that would like to keep their populations in chains.

The Jews consider themselves the descendants of ancient slaves who won their freedom in a revolution against an oppressive Egyptian king. After this success, the revolutionary leader, Moses, established a body of law that protects the rights of ordinary people, the workers, with great care, and lays down severe punishments for members of the ruling classes who would violate workers’ rights. Just to give one example, in the ancient world, where slavery was common, the Jews already had a law that specified the death penalty for whoever would forcibly reduce a person to slavery. A population of free individuals, preaching equality under the law, with a fully developed constitution to guarantee it, and a large army of lawyers to make the wheels of the system turn (the rabbis), was an obvious threat to the repressive ruling classes of the world, who didn’t want their slaves getting any ideas from the Jews. This is what explains the oppression and recurring mass murders of Jews in the Muslim world, were the dominant ideology has been quite stable. But it also explains the mass killings of Jews that took place in the West, where importante changes have taken place in the dominant ideology. There were mass murders of Jews in the ancient Greco-Macedonian empires, in the Roman Empire, in the medieval Germanic Holy Roman Empire, in the Zarist Empire, and in the Modern West. Everything changes in the West: religion, culture, politics, and economics, but the ruling classes of the West, century after century, continue to organize mass killings of Jews.[4] These are the same ruling classes that ordinary Westerners had to fight in order to win their modern liberties in the French Revolution, a struggle inspired by the ideas of the European Enlightenment, which movement was launched by the pen of a Talmudic scholar: Baruch Spinoza.[5]

The political importance of Judaism, and the corresponding importance of antisemitism, situate the Jewish people once again at the fulcrum of history, which is the current battle between the values of the European Enlightenment -- which owe so much to Judaism -- and the values of Islam.

Islamic ideology -- not so-called ‘fundamentalist’ Islamic ideology, but run-of-the-mill, regular, orthodox, mainstream Islam -- calls for the extermination or else slavery of ‘infidels,’ who are defined as people who will not convert to Islam. “Oh Prophet,” says Quranic Sura 8.66, “incite the believers to combat. If there can be found among you twenty who will endure, they will vanquish two hundred, if one hundred can be found, they will vanquish a thousand infidels, because they are people such as cannot understand.” Because they are people such as cannot understand: they refuse to convert to Islam. The Bosnian Muslim leader Alija Izetbegovic, defended by the Western mass media as a supposed ‘great moderate,’ quoted this Quranic passage and other similar ones in his book Islamic Manifesto to make clear to his followers what they should do with non-Muslims in Bosnia.[6]

There is widespread incomprehension of the nature of this religion because the Western mass media, and Western leaders, repeat at every turn that Islam is supposedly the ‘religion of peace,’ and that Muslim terrorism is supposedly a betrayal of the true, moderate, mainstream tradition of Islam. But it will suffice for anybody interested in understanding the traditional message of Islam to 1) read the repeated calls for mass slaughter of infidels in the Qur’an; 2) familiarize himself with the actions of Muhammad, who was quite fond of killing and in fact exterminated an entire Jewish tribe (the Quraysh); 3) review the opinions of Muslim scholars across the ages; and 4) read about how Muslims have treated those non-Muslims whom they did not kill during their typically genocidal wars of conquest. Moderate Muslims indeed exist, but these are ‘bad’ Muslims: people who deviate from what Islam preaches, and they easily become the target of persecution wherever Islam is the dominant culture.[7]

In Muslim ideology the world is divided into Dar al Islam, the ‘House of Submission,’ which is to say those lands where Muslims already rule, and Dar al Harb, or ‘the House of War,’ which is to say those lands where Muslims are not yet in power. The reason for this way of speaking is that the entire point of Islam is to dominate the world, so they are at war with anyone they have not yet subjugated. Although the Muslims were stopped at the Pyrenees by Charles Martell at the beginning of the Middle Ages and were later pushed out in the Spanish Reconquista, and although the progress of Islam was partially arrested in the Balkans, at great cost, by the Austrian empire in alliance with Serbian peasant soldiers, Islam grew with tremendous speed everywhere else, and has been taking power, through force, wherever it arrives. It is now growing faster than ever.

Islam is already beginning to conquer the West, starting with Europe. Muslims are no longer being expelled from Europe but invited in. Some cities in Europe are already about 30% Muslim or more. And whereas Muslims continue to immigrate to Europe at a fast rate, and reproduce quickly, European rates of reproduction are negative or hovering near zero. If Westerners do not begin defending themselves from Islam now, they will be finished.

Once this is all understood, the importance of Israel can be appreciated. If Westerners ally with the Muslims against Israel, they will be subsequently destroyed by the Muslims, just as Westerners were destroyed, by the German Nazis, after allying with the same Nazis against the Jews. The reason is very simple: precisely because Judaism is the original and eternal ideology that defends the rights of ordinary people against repressive aristocracies, the attacks against the Jews are always led by people who would like to oppress everybody. To ally with the attacks against the Jews, therefore, is to produce generalized oppression. All of Western and Muslim history stands in evidence. By contrast, the protection of Jews goes hand in hand with the protection of everybody’s rights, as happened, for example, in the ancient Persian Empire.[7a] Why has this been so difficult to understand? Because Westerners and Muslims have almost always been ruled by those who would like to enslave ordinary people, and these repressive ruling classes have produced massive antisemitic propaganda to indoctrinate everybody into antisemitism, thus gaining the cooperation of ordinary people in the persecution of the movement that seeks their liberation.

The first battle for the future of the West as we know it -- a world of post-revolutionary states where there is freedom of thought, press, organization, enterprise, and religion -- is the battle for Israel. To defend the West, we must first defend Israel.
 

_____________________________________________________

A. The strategic situation
_____________________________________________________

Israel is a tiny country, surrounded by enemies. When examining a map of Israel and the Arab world, the first thing that hits the eye is the territorial superiority (which is also a demographic superiority) of the Arab states.

This impression, however, underestimates the problem, because the immediate enemies of Israel are not simply Arabs but Muslims, and the Muslim world, which contains the Arab World, is larger.

 

Israel’s nuclear advantage is increasingly not what it was, now that enemies closer and closer to its borders are acquiring nuclear weapons. These enemies are increasingly in the thrall of an ecstatic, genocidal jihadist ideology in which ‘martyrdom’ (throwing away your own life to kill your enemy) is exalted, and this undermines the logic of nuclear deterrence, which only works against an enemy that values life. It may be argued against this that, whatever they may say in public, the rulers of Muslim states are rational decision makers. The problem with this argument is that even in this case they may not have what Westerners, from the point of view of their modern ideology, would call rational goals. But however that may be, the more the Muslim environment becomes a world of jihad, the less good the conditions become for classical nuclear deterrence. Something else that undermines the logic of nuclear deterrence is that Muslims have had ample time to observe that the Israeli government retaliates very weakly against deadly attacks, and makes all sorts of concessions to the enemy, in fact, even as Israeli civilians are being murdered. This naturally lowers the perception of the danger of a second strike.

In terms of conventional warfare, it is true that Israel has won its wars in the past. But to argue, based on this evidence, that Israel will always win every war is like saying that I cannot die because in previous brushes with danger I have so far escaped. In the long run, as the Muslim enemies of Israel have pointed out many times, it is likely that they will prevail, because they have absolute superiority in manpower, and a combined military superiority over Israel. They also have diplomatic advantages over Israel -- as the past 16 years have shown -- with which to prepare the terrain for the next massive attack. And Israelis are completely surrounded with their backs against the sea.

In the long run (and it may be a very short ‘long run’), therefore, without a Western alliance, Israel cannot survive.

As we shall see later in greater detail, despite a still common belief, the United States ruling elite is not, in fact, an ally of Israel, but an enemy. This point can be generalized to other ruling elites in the Western world. Is Israel, then, doomed to be destroyed? No. The population of the United States is largely supportive of Israel, and in some important subpopulations this support is passionate. A large portion of the British public is also quite supportive. This is a historical anomaly -- a consequence of the Protestant Revolution and the European Enlightenment -- that has not been seen in the West since the first century CE, when thousands upon thousands of Mediterranean pagans were converting to Judaism in opposition to the repressive elites that ruled the Roman Empire (the Romans solved this political problem with a genocide of the ancient Jews that may have been greater, in proportional terms, than Adolf Hitler’s Final Solution).[8] This paper will outline how this pro-Jewish sentiment in the US population can be harnessed to produce security for Israel, despite the contrary wishes of the US ruling elite.

Now, it is useful, for the purposes of analysis, to divide Israel’s strategic situation into external and internal threats. I rush to point out that the external and internal threats are linked, and after describing each I will devote a short section to those links.


A.1 Immediate external threats
___________________________

The states that can immediately attack Israel on its borders are the following: Egypt, in the Southwest; Jordan, in the East; and Lebanon and Syria in the North. However, this understates the problem, for two reasons. First, Saudi Arabia can easily overrun Jordan. And second, as soon as US troops leave Iraq (and this may happen as soon as the beginning of the next US administration) Iran will have a land corridor going all the way to the northern border of Israel. Why? Because the effect of the US invasion of Iraq -- everyone agrees -- has been to give the Iraqi shiites, controlled from Iran, the government of the country. And Iran already holds sway over Syria, Lebanon, and Hezbollah. So in reality, the immediate external threat to Israel, in the short term, is a combined attack by Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Hezbollah, Syria, Iraq, and Iran.

The problem is not merely one of numbers. Since the so-called ‘peace’ treaty between Israel and Egypt in 1979, the United States government has been arming the Egyptians to the teeth. And Saudi Arabia receives annually more US military hardware than any country in the world.[9] Iran is apparently rushing to acquire nuclear weapons, and there is a good chance that Iraq’s supposedly nonexistent WMD’s (Weapons of Mass Destruction) ended up in Syria.
 

A.2 Immediate internal threats
___________________________

Gaza. Once controlled by Israel, Gaza has become, thanks to the policy of ‘Disengagement,’ a terrorist pseudo-state fully dedicated to the destruction of the Jewish State. The Israeli military no longer patrols the Gaza-Egypt border. As a result, what before was a trickle of weapons-smuggling from Egypt has now become a flood.[10] The media represented what happened in Gaza as a fight between the ‘extremist’ Hamas against the ‘moderate’ PLO/Fatah, but in fact there was no fight: PLO/Fatah simply handed over Gaza to Hamas.[11] And PLO/Fatah, in any case, is not moderate: Fatah terrorist groups are responsible for more Israeli deaths than all other Palestinian groups combined, including Hamas.[12]

West Bank. PLO/Fatah, if present trends continue, will soon have total control over Judea and Samaria (the ‘West Bank’). This is a much greater threat than Gaza, as the following maps make clear:

As can be seen above, the West Bank is high ground, whereas the narrow strip of land on which Israelis live is lowland. There is no place to run: the Israeli Jews are trapped between the hills and the sea. There are only 18 km. (11 miles) between the West Bank border and the sea at Tel-Aviv Yafo, where half of all Israelis live. For those who know New York City, this is more or less the distance from the southern tip of Manhattan Island to the Cross Bronx Expressway: nothing. For those who know Mexico City, this is more or less the distance, in a straight line, from the Fuente de Petróleos to the International Airport. At Netanya the distance is even less: only 15 km. (9 miles). These are distances that a person in good physical condition can jog, jog back, and still have plenty of juice left (a marathon is a little over 42 km.).
 

A.3 The link between the external and internal threats
_______________________________________________

PLO/Fatah itself is perhaps not the most formidable of military adversaries, but behind PLO/Fatah stands the military power of the Arab League and Iran.

The Arab League, led by Egypt, has since its formation sought the extermination of the Israeli Jews. This is how Azzam Pasha, Secretary General of the Arab League, explained the purpose of the War of 1948 against the newly declared State of Israel: “This will be a war of extermination...” The Arab League was involved in the creation of Al Fatah and the PLO, and has played a dominant role in funding PLO/Fatah, deciding its policy, and mobilizing diplomacy to get PLO/Fatah inside the Jewish State through the Oslo ‘Peace’ Process. Naturally, the states of the Arab League will continue arming PLO/Fatah to the teeth, and PLO/Fatah will ally with any Arab attack against Israel, providing frontline troops and facilitating an invasion from the West Bank.[13]

The President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has explained in public that he would like to exterminate the Israeli Jews, and this caused much shock. But in fact it is nothing new. The Ayatollah Khomeini used the same language. Iran is often mentioned as a sponsor of Hamas, but Iran is equally involved with PLO/Fatah, and has been always. PLO/Fatah actually trained Khomeini’s forces, responsible for the Islamist coup d’état in Iran, and Yasser Arafat and Khomeini were close friends. Naturally, Iran has also been arming PLO/Fatah.[14]

Hamas is a creation of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, and in addition to Iranian sponsorship it has been receiving much Egyptian assistance through the Gaza-Egypt border. As mentioned earlier, limited weapons smuggling that took place when Israel still patrolled that border has now become unrestricted weapons smuggling. Syria is also heavily involved in the support of Hamas.[15]

The strategic position of PLO/Fatah and Hamas, therefore, is the strategic position of the states of the Arab League and of Iran. These states, whose goal is genocide, now have a beachhead inside Israel, and one that is continuously being armed.
 

_____________________________________________________

B. Is the strategic situation really so bleak? Two possible objections to the above analysis.
_____________________________________________________

The above presents a dark picture indeed. Against it, two objections are common: 1) Won’t the US defend Israel?; and 2) Doesn’t Israel have a formidable fighting force? I will deal with each in turn and show that, whatever comfort friends of Israel derive from the supposed alliance with the US, and from Israel’s military superiority, this is a misplaced comfort.
 

B.1 Won’t the US defend Israel?
____________________________

The short answer is no.

There is a widespread belief, fed by the declarations of US officials, endless repetition in the mass media, and the well-publicized arguments of some academics, that not only is US foreign policy pro-Israel but that it is supposedly much too pro-Israel, to the point of hurting US interests, because the so-called ‘Jewish Lobby’ has such a tremendous hold over the US government that it forces everything in a pro-Israel direction and damn the consequences. To judge whether this model is a reasonable one it must be compared against the history of US foreign policy toward Israel, and against the actual behavior of the ‘Jewish Lobby.’

First, the entire history of US foreign policy towards Israel has been a series of dramatic attacks, with but a couple of exceptions. For skeptics, I I summarize that history in the footonote, with links to the detailed documentation.[15a] As the summary in the footnote makes clear, the commonly held view that US foreign policy has been pro-Israel is not based on historical evidence, but on constant repetition in the mass media. There is therefore zero basis for expecting that the US will defend Israel if there is another massive Muslim attack -- especially given that the current policies that are preparing the ground for this massive Muslim attack are US policies, led with great energy by the US government.

Now, the widespread belief that US foreign policy has been pro-Israel is no better supported than the widely held belief in the first half of the 20th c., spread by the antisemites, that ‘the Jews’ in secret controlled all the Western governments, all the media, all the banks, all the workers movements, and all the capitalist industries. If the Jews had controlled all that, they would not have been so easily exterminated. These lies were structurally quite similar to the 14th c. accusations that ‘the Jews’ had poisoned all the wells of Europe. In fact people were dying of bubonic plague, but the accusation was widely believed and resulted in exterminations of Jews in the Low Countries and the Rhineland. The idea that ‘the Jews’ are supernaturally powerful and that if anything bad happens it is the fault of the super powerful Jews is quite old, and has repeatedly resulted in mass killings of Jews.[16]

Just as the Jews did not poison the wells of Europe in the 14th c., and just as the Jews did not control everything in the early 20th c., neither do the Jews today control US foreign policy.

What then of the so-called ‘Jewish Lobby.’ Isn’t it very powerful? It turns out that the supposed power of the ‘Jewish Lobby’ is not even the point. The most prominent figures in the ‘Jewish Lobby’ in fact specialize in high-profile attacks against Israel, and they have been loudly supporting the Oslo Process that has brought the enemies of Israel into the Jewish State.[17] Even if we assume that the ‘Jewish Lobby’ is powerful, therefore, this in no way leads to the expectation of a pro-Israel US foreign policy, but the opposite.
 

B.2 But doesn’t Israel have a formidable fighting force?
________________________________________________

The Israeli military indeed seems impressive, but the power of the Israeli military is like the power of the ‘Jewish Lobby’: the thing that matters the most about this power is this: what direction is it deployed in? In point of fact the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) is no longer being used to defend Israelis.

1) The Israeli military no longer patrols the Gaza-Egypt border, as mentioned earlier, allowing all sorts of weapons to be smuggled in from Egypt into Gaza.

2) The performance in the latest war with Lebanon demonstrates that the Israeli government will not use its power aggressively to defend the Israelis from an unprovoked attack against its civilians.

3) IDF troops were in fact deployed to ethnically cleanse the Jews living in Gaza, in order to give this judenrein territory to the terrorist enemies of Israel.

4) Now IDF troops are being used to disarm the Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria, in advance of giving this territory to PLO/Fatah.[17a]

Those in control of Israeli institutions, for a long time now, have been using them to assist the enemies of the Jewish State, not to defend Israel.[17b] Israeli patriots have been remarkably ineffective at putting a stop to this, even though they have the support of the majority of the Israeli population.
 

_____________________________________________________

C. Is there a solution to the present crisis?
_____________________________________________________

There is.

Despite the daunting obstacles to an effective defense of Israel outlined above, in other ways the structural conditions have never been better for a defense of the Jews. The laws of politics in the modern world are such, and the attack against the Jews is beset by such a tremendous -- yet so far largely unexposed -- weakness, that it is in fact possible to avert the disaster of another Holocaust by putting in motion -- with sufficient speed and financial backing -- the right media strategy.

I will begin, first, by explaining the unexposed weakness of the attack against Israel. Then I will explain why the structure of modern politics turns this weakness into such a great opportunity for the defense of Israel. Finally, I will outline the kind of media strategy that is necessary to save the West from Islam by means of a vigorous defense of Israel.
 

C.1 The unexposed weakness of the attack against Israel
__________________________________________________

Very few people are aware of the following dramatically relevant facts. The top instigator, organizer, and leader of Adolf Hitler’s Final Solution in Europe -- according even to the postwar testimony of Adolf Eichmann’s own lieutenants -- was a ‘Palestinian Arab’: Hajj Amin al Husseini. This Husseini, the architect of the German Nazi genocide of the European Jews, after the war created what became PLO/Fatah, giving German Nazi training to Yasser Arafat, Mahmoud Abbas, and other adolescent protégés of his in 1950s Cairo. The point of PLO/Fatah? Same as the point of the Arab League which became its sponsor: the extermination of the Israeli Jews.[18]

There is great interest in keeping the public from ever discovering the German Nazi origins of Al Fatah. To give just one dramatic example: I was fired from the University of Pennsylvania for publishing an article in Israel that documents precisely this.[19] And that brings us to why this information is so explosive, and so useful to the defense of Israel.
 

C.2 The advantages in the structure of modern politics
________________________________________________

Politics, like physics, chemistry, and biology, is governed by laws. What is the source of political laws? The distribution of ideas in the heads of ordinary people. In other words, what a politician can and cannot say in public is a consequence of what most people believe. If most people believe it is okay to oppress women and kill infidels because that is what Allah wants, then Muslim politicians can get away with proposing in public that women be oppressed and infidels slaughtered. Such are the laws of Muslim politics.

The laws of Western politics are different. To this day, the European Enlightenment values of the French Revolution -- liberty, equality, and fraternity -- are in the heads of a majority of Westerners, which means that Western politicians are still constrained to say in public that they stand for the liberties and equality under the law of ordinary people, and against oppression. One consequence of this is that in the West, today, it is simply impossible for a politician to defend the German Nazis in public without producing a scandal. In fact, much less than an actual defense will result in scandal, as was shown when Prince William of Great Britain donned a Nazi outfit for Halloween, producing international outrage.

What does this mean? It means that if the Israeli, Diaspora Jewish, and Western citizenries are informed of the German Nazi origins and goals of PLO/Fatah, the entire diplomatic theater that has represented PLO/Fatah as the relative moderate ‘partner for peace’ will collapse. Once all the Western citizenries have been informed, it will be impossible for a politician in the US senate to defend that Mahmoud Abbas, a man who was personally trained by one of history’s greatest butchers of Jews, the man who directed the Final Solution for the German Nazis, should be given strategic territory in, of all things, the Jewish State! Or if a US politician does this then it will be quite easy to mobilize an international scandal. In fact, a scandal will result merely by informing the Western citizenries of this crucial fact that has been covered up.

A media campaign to make the German Nazi origins of PLO/Fatah famous will result in a ferocious grassroots campaign by Christian Zionists, who exist in great numbers all over the West, but especially in the crucial states of the US and Britain. This will also shore up the position of the increasingly numerous (and already majoritarian) Israeli patriots, putting all Israeli politicians who have favored negotiations with PLO/Fatah hopelessly on the defensive.

The only reason Western and Israeli politicians have been getting away with a treason against Israel and against the West, by assisting once again the Nazis with a new 'appeasement' policy, is that most people don't know that PLO/Fatah comes from the German Nazi Final Solution. If we inform everybody of this, we will have changed the political grammar and it will no longer be possible to destroy Israel without Western citizenries understanding that this was an attack against them. The entire ‘peace’ process will be revealed for the antisemitic genocidal sham that it really is, and fir being, like the previous antisemitic genocidal onslaught, an attack on all Westerners.

The house of cards will collapse.
 

C.3 The right kind of media strategy
_______________________________

The Western mass media has been cooperating in the cover-up of the German Nazi roots of the PLO, so appealing to existing media institutions is obviously a non-starter. A new media infrastructure, working especially through the internet and paid advertisements, relying also on printed flyers, conferences, etc., can very quickly raise awareness of this issue for millions of people so long as it is adequately financed. If money is no object, in a matter of months the entire West will have been informed. This is the only strategy that can produce results immediately. Any other approach, such as trying to launch a new TV or radio station, will immediately face roadblocks by antisemitic officials who would like to prevent this message from getting out.

Once the requisite consciousness of the German Nazi origins of PLO/Fatah has been produced, and sympathy for the Israeli Jews begins to grow even among former supporters of the Oslo Process (this will happen because many of these people are not hard-core antisemites, merely misinformed), the stage will be set for the defense of the West. From this point onwards it will be possible to rally Westerners to confront their own ruling elites on their support of Islam. And then Islam will be faced.

The Western ruling elites have been covering up the German Nazi origins of PLO/Fatah in order to prevent us from understanding what they are doing to Israel -- and to the West. This means that if we can communicate to them that we already know what PLO/Fatah is, we can affect their calculations, their decision making. To this end, an internet effort has already been launched that

1) provides documentation on the German Nazi origins of PLO/Fatah;

2) provides documentation on the encroachment of Islam in the West and the ideology of Muslims; and

3) simultaneously requests signatures -- both Israeli and international -- in support of Israel and in opposition to any ceding of territory.

That effort is here:
www.strongisrael.org

The more international signatures we gather, the louder the demonstration of what ordinary Westerners already know and support. The more Israeli signatures we gather, the more comfortable Israeli Knesset members will feel opposing the suicidal policies of the current Israeli government. The more signatures we gather overall, the louder this statement will be: If Israel is destroyed, we will hold you accountable.

Signatures come with emails, so the more signatures we gather, the more sympathizers of Israel -- defenders of the West -- we can reach directly with footnoted historical and investigative documentation that they themselves can check, thus creating an alternative infrastructure to the mainstream mass media. This educational process will make possible certain kinds of political mobilization that are simply impossible without first informing people about what the Western ruling elites are doing to the West.

Naturally, this strategy needs to be assisted by proper funding with advertisements, conferences, etc., so that the requisite flood of signatures is produced.

D. Is there a long-term solution?
_____________________________________________________

Agitation in favor of the Oslo-to-Annapolis 'Two State Solution' proposal is always supported by two main arguments, both of them purporting to seek a long-term solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict.

The first argument is couched in terms of compassion and consideration for the Arabs in the West Bank and Gaza, and for the 'Palestinian refugees' now living in refugee camps in various Arab countries, on whose behalf the 'Two State Solution' is supposedly being sought.

The second argument (not necessarily exclusive of the first) is the supposedly patriotic Jewish view that if Israel retains the disputed territories it will eventually be forced to grant the Arabs in the West Bank and Gaza full citizenship, which would then abolish Jewish demographic superiority and bring an end to Israel as a Jewish state.

Schooled in these two arguments, someone who agrees that the above media strategy will put an end to the immediate efforts to create a PLO/Fatah state in the disputed territories may still object that a long-term solution must be found for the rights of Palestinians and for the goal of a stable, Jewish state.

The immediate reply is that if one does not yet have a long-term solution this does nothing to alter the fact that it is morally impermissible to give the heart of the biblical Land of Israel, which happens to be strategic territory indispensable to the defense of the Jewish state, to an organization created by a top leader of the German Nazi Final Solution and intending to exterminate the Israeli Jews. Therefore, the above two arguments for a 'Two State Solution,' even if accepted at face value, in no way affect the reasoning presented here. The abolition of Oslo-Annapolis cannot morally be held hostage to finding an acceptable long-term solution to the Middle East conflict, just as one may not give a gravely ill patient a fatal poison just because one has not yet found an effective cure. Such reasoning is absurd.

I agree with Kenneth Levin:

“If I may, as a physician, invoke a medical model: There was much wrong with the Israeli-Arab status quo prior to Oslo, just as there is much wrong with the situation today; but in formulating potential diplomatic interventions, the key animating principle ought to be the first principle and obligation articulated in the Hippocratic Oath -- "First do no harm." that is, in treating a sick patient, the first obligation is not to make the patient worse.”[19a]

All the same, I will address in this section the weaknesses in the above two arguments that are usually invoked to support the 'Two State Solution.' Then I will address how the problem of a long-term solution must be framed.
 

D.1 The argument for improving the lives of the
'Palestinian' Arabs

It is only reasonable for well-intentioned people to defend a PLO/Fatah state in the disputed territories as a compassionate solution for the so-called 'Palestinian Arabs' under one condition: that these Arabs are better off under a PLO/Fatah government than under Israeli 'occupation.'

But this condition does not obtain.

Here is Newsweek writing in 1977, about how the lives of the West Bank and Gaza Arabs had dramatically improved ten years after the Six Day War in which Israel acquired control of Judea and Samaria (i.e. the 'West Bank'):

“Arab living standards [in the West Bank] have jumped more than 50 per cent in the past ten years, and employment has nearly doubled, largely because of the $250 million annual trade that has grown up between the West Bank and Israel. The Israelis have also kept the Jordan River bridges open, allowing 1 million Arabs a year to cross and to keep their markets in Jordan for such products as olive oil, soap and farm produce. The Israelis also allow the Arabs to elect their own officials, even though the winners are often radical activists. Still, the Arabs say they have never been more unhappy. . .”[21]

Israel is often called an 'apartheid' state, comparing it to South Africa. But, quite obviously, once Israel acquired the disputed territories the Arabs living there began doing much better than ordinary Arabs anywhere. Israel improved their lives and opportunities (they now have access to a cornucopia of universities, to give another example, not one of which existed before). No Arab government treats ordinary Arabs better than how the Israeli state treated them during the fully fledged 'occupation.' By contrast, the white-dominated government of South Africa brutally oppressed the black population of the state -- there is zero similarity between this comparison case and the State of Israel. If the Arabs were unhappy, this had nothing to do with 'mistreatment.' More likely this had something to do with the jihadist ideology that dominates the culture of Islam, and which the father of the so-called Palestinian movement, Hajj Amin al Husseini, always preached.

It is true that the situation of the Arabs in the disputed territories has deteriorated considerably over the past 14 years. There is a good reason for that: over the past 14 years, PLO/Fatah has been given increasingly more power to determine the lives of these Arabs.

To get a sense for the consequences of this, consider that the Palestinian Authority police (i.e. the police created by PLO/Fatah and blessed by the international community's Oslo Process), has been nicknamed the 'death squad' by the Arabs. An Associated Press wire from 2004 explained that:

"...the Gaza Security and Protections unit [has been] nicknamed the ‘death squad’ by Palestinians... [S]ome members abused their powers and used intimidation to rule the streets of Gaza.

...members of the unit were accused of turning into criminals themselves, confiscating land, smuggling weapons and intimidating the general public with threats of violence."[22]

But members of the PLO/Fatah police naturally did not turn into criminals -- they were criminals to begin with. This should be obvious, because before PLO/Fatah started calling itself the 'Palestinian Authority' it had been a gangster outfit and one of the world's worst terrorist organizations, which it continues to be. So, naturally, giving PLO/Fatah power over the Arabs in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza was no favor to these Arabs.

From this it follows that the proposed 'Two-State Solution', which will give absolute power to PLO/Fatah over these Arabs, will in no way constitute a compassionate solution for them. Those honestly worried about the welfare of these Arabs should oppose Oslo-Annapolis.
 

D.2 The argument for preserving the Jewish character of the Israeli state
__________

This argument is quickly dispensed with.

Whoever wishes to preserve the Jewish character of the Israeli state must first of all preserve the Israeli state. Giving strategic highland ground to PLO/Fatah, a genocidal tool of the genocidal Arab League, is a way to prepare the ground for another attempt to destroy the Jewish state, one that may well succeed where others have failed. It is therefore absurd to offer as a 'solution' something that will gravely endanger the very continued existence of Israel.
 

D.3 How to find a long-term solution?
________________________________

Only an antisemite can propose the extermination of the Israeli Jews as the long-term solution, because this would be a "Final Solution" as conceived by the German Nazis. Therefore, those of us who are not antisemites cannot support the two states sought by Oslo-Annapolis as a true long-term solution.

It is true that a long-term solution must be found, but in order to do that we must decide what we think is the long term on the basis of a deep understanding of the true nature of the enemy. For Muslim jihadist ideology the long-term is eternity. This is very long term. So long as we care less about the long term than jihadist Muslims do, we do not have a plan to protect the West from the Islamist threat. Therefore, a long-term solution must be sought in a reframing of the Arab-Israeli conflict as an early -- and perhaps the most important -- battle in the already developing struggle betweeen the values of the Western Enlightenment against the growing power of Islamist terrorism.

This will be a battle fought against ordinary Muslims whenever ordinary Muslims, recruited as the terrorist troops of the Muslim ruling elites, force Westerners to defend themselves. But in another sense it is a battle on behalf of ordinary Muslims because if the West wins, then in the long term it is possible to free the mentally and physically enslaved Muslim populations from the prison they have been languishing in for so many centuries. Liberating Muslims cannot, however, be the first priority. We cannot now show more compassion for those who intend to exterminate or enslave us as 'infidels' than we show for the innocent victims of this nefarious system of beliefs -- us. The first priority, therefore, is self-defense, and the best way for Westerners to defend themselves is to defend Israel. The long-term solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict must be sought from a position of Israeli -- and therefore Western -- strength, once PLO/Fatah has been completely defeated.

This means that, as a minimum, the long-term solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict, whatever it becomes specifically, will require, first, the complete defeat of the PLO/Fatah and Hamas leadership in the disputed territories and Israel. This will undoubtedly require a combination of military and police action, and will result in deaths, imprisionments, and expulsions. There is no alternative to this, because the other side wishes to murder every living Jew -- and after that, every other living non-Muslim -- and is happy to die trying. Naturally, as far as possible, care should be taken to protect the civilian Arab population, but this in no way changes the imperative of a total defeat of PLO/Fatah and Hamas.

Only when a total defeat of PLO/Fatah and Hamas has been achieved and Israel has regained complete control over its 1967 borders, producing safety from the immediate Arab League threat, can we begin to think about a long-term solution. Those who would like a long-term solution must now, therefore, focus on the short term. Job one is survival.

Conclusion: The West must fight
_____________________________________________________

During the 1930s, Western leaders did not defend the West: they "appeased" Adolf Hitler, the leading antisemite, giving him everything he wanted and allowing him to conquer Europe.

Will we let Western leaders repeat this?

Because they are indeed repeating it. Our Westen leaders are not really fighting Islamist terrorism. They are not defending the West. We hear a lot about the War on Terror, but in fact our Western leaders have invaded a country -- Iraq -- that was already contained, and the outcome of this invasion has been to flood Iraq with weapons and to give control of the country to Islamist Shi'ite proxies of Iran, a terrorist state committed to the extermination of the Israeli Jews. At the same time, our Western leaders have pushed for giving PLO/Fatah, a subsidiary branch of the terrorist and genocidal Arab League, its own state carved out of strategic territory in the Jewish State. As if this were not enough, they have been arming states such as Egypt and Saudi Arabia to the teeth.

Ordinary Westerners must defend their homes and their way of life. The first thing they must do is raise their voices and make themselves heard. Our leaders must understand that we consider the defense of Israel the first line in the defense of the West. We should make it clear that, if they let Israel fall, we will hold them accountable.
