Israel's Poor Bombed Into Submission 

Does it honor Yitzchak Rabin

Rabin's Forgotten Program

World At Risk
 

Commentary 

Israel and the Middle East is Under Siege by US

Connect the Dots (Take 2)

Is it really so far fetched? Lets look at a interesting statistical idea.

Have you ever noticed that none of the terrorist attacks in Israel take place in rich areas like Herzilia Pituach, Savion, Tzahala, Metulla, or Caesarea? Only in the poorer areas like Jerusalem, Qiryat Shmoneh, Rannana (once), Haifa outskirts have real atrocities occur on a daily basis. Busses are attacked and only the poor are at risk? Actions like this are done where reaction to this kind of thing raises the ire, rage and furry of the residents and victims for political ends but who's? 

This dose nothing to increase the direct pressure on governmental bodies to push forward with concrete steps to end the conflict, but it dose put pressure on people to vote a direction they would never consider correct otherwise? 

This clearly and blatantly shows that the terrorists are not remotely interested in political change but only in public harassment of the little people for some other gain. If they were really pushing for political change they would strike at the governmental institutions and other governments embassies wherever they are, and create real harassment of the political leaders or elite of the host country? 

This is clearly a case of the US playing both sides against each other, Israel and the Palestinians (divide and conquer). 

Lets see, The US government pays 3 billion a year in federal aid to Israel and provides weaponry that really reaches out to "touch someone" and then ties Israel's hands behind its back. Then the US prop's-up the underdog to keep him pressing ahead with bombings (using breathing guided missiles) which are financed and morally supported by Hammas, which is funded by the Saudis, who are good friends of the Bush family visa-a-vi the US?! The US gives token help with  a few million dollars to the Palestinian Authority to show solidarity and also, don't forget, the US has the CIA train the Palestinian Police force in sophisticated sniper tactics (for general road harassment when needed).

The problem is that the US administration (Bush or Kerry, it wouldn't matter) is in bed with the terrorists, supplying money and training to them through moderate Islamic groups so they will program the next wave live bombs. All the while, showing a stern "we will stay the coarse" face to the general public. 

Only by digging deeply do you begin to see the links between one and the other, kind of a "connect the dots" picture, if you will.

The simple solution to save the bombers and their brothers, not to mention the innocent civilians, is for everyone involved in the bloodshed is to say "NO".

NO to the violence destroying our lives
NO to political lies 
NO to dirty politicians and their tactics

Only together can we break this cycle and send the real terrorists to exile.

As the IRA has clearly shown, it can be done, all you need is the will.

 

Does it honor Rabin to distort his message?
By Dr. Aaron Lerner November 4, 2005

As Israel marks a decade since the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin many political commentators are speculating just how different the situation would be today if Yigal Amir had never carried out his despicable crime. 

It is hard to know just how different the Netanyahu Administration would have performed if Binyamin Netanyahu had trounced Rabin at the polls (the trend indicated by surveys prior to the murder) instead of just squeaked by Shimon Peres. 

Would a victorious Netanyahu have simply walked away from Oslo? 

Would a defeated Rabin have taken a lead role as head of the opposition or retire from political life? 

All a matter of sheer speculation. 

What we do know is that Rabin circa 1995 would be shocked to learn of the policies embraced by the Sharon Administration -- not to mention the even more radical policies embraced by the folks who claim to be carrying on his vision. 

The positions of Rabin circa 1995 are not a matter of speculation. Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin made the crystal clear when he addressed the Knesset on October 5, 1995 -- a month before he was gunned down -- when he presented the Israel-Palestinian Interim Agreement for ratification. [translation of the entire address] 

Among his key points: 

* No Palestinian State: "We view the permanent solution in the framework of the State of Israel which will include most of the area of the Land of Israel as it was under the rule of the British Mandate, and alongside it a Palestinian entity which will be a home to most of the Palestinian residents living in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. 

We would like this to be an entity which is less than a state, and which will independently run the lives of the Palestinians under its authority." 

(In those days the "demographic problem" -- the threat that a Palestinian majority would ultimately vote in the Knesset -- was not considered an issue s Palestinian participation in autonomy elections was considered a sufficient expression of self determination. The "demographic problem" only took a prominent role in Israeli discourse when withdrawal supporters found that the Oslo experience made if difficult to argue that withdrawal would 
improve security and thus turned to the "demographic problem" to justify withdrawal.) 

* No return to '67 borders: "The borders of the State of Israel, during the permanent solution, will be beyond the lines which existed before the Six Day War. We will not return to the 4 June 1967 lines." 

* Control of Jordan Valley: "The security border of the State of Israel will be located in the Jordan Valley, in the broadest meaning of that term." 

* Gush Katif as model rather than something to be evacuated: "The establishment of blocs of settlements in Judea and Samaria, like the one in Gush Katif." 

* All settlements remain intact during interim period - no settlement freeze: "I want to remind you: we committed ourselves, that is, we came to an agreement, and committed ourselves before the Knesset, not to uproot a single settlement in the framework of the interim agreement, and not to hinder building for natural growth." 

* Control of border passages remain in Israeli hands (during interim period): "The responsibility for external security along the borders with Egypt and Jordan, as well as control over the airspace above all of the territories and Gaza Strip maritime zone, remains in our hands." 

Would a post 1995 Rabin have abandoned his positions just as so many others did? 

Possibly. 

But it is hardly a tribute to Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin to assert that he would have been no better than the rest of the Israeli politicians who, through a dangerous combination of hubris, blind faith that ultimately retreating to the 1967 lines will miraculously herald a utopian ear in which the Arabs abandon any interest in Jaffa, Haifa and the rest of Green Line Israel, and an almost dogmatic refusal to think more than a few weeks or months ahead, are plunging Israel down into a dangerous abyss.
