Mr Sharon's obduracy endangers Israel, as well as the fight against terrorism

Foreign Affairs Editorial Editorial Keywords: ISRAEL TERROR INTIFADA

When president George Bush called his friend Ariel Sharon, the Prime Minister of Israel, two days after the New York bombing and asked him to allow the Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres to meet Yasser Arafat, he hardly expected to hear no for an answer. Mr Bush must have taken it for granted that Israel would not refuse the favour at a time when Washington desperately needed the Palestinian conflict to go off the boil, if only for a time, while it rallies moderate Islamic states against the Taliban.

To the President's undoubted amazement, Mr Sharon rebuffed him, refusing to let Mr Peres meet the Palestinian leader. The same negative thinking inspired Mr Sharon's tantrum over an innocuous article Jack Straw penned for an Iranian newspaper, in which the Foreign Secretary referred briefly to the existence of widespread Muslim anger over the treatment of the Palestinians. Not only has an Israeli spokesman called this article anti-semitic – a ludicrous comment – but Mr Sharon even threatened to boycott a meeting with Mr Straw on the Israeli leg of his Middle Eastern sojourn.

Mr Sharon may believe he can continue with his spoiler's approach to negotiation with the Palestinians because the West's war against terrorism encompasses Israel's own conflict. "We have been in this war for many years," he told the Knesset, rightly.

But Mr Sharon's bullheaded approach is hindering both the fight against terrorism and his own nation's cause. By underestimating the degree to which the West needs the support of moderate Arab states and Iran in its fight to destroy Osama bin Laden's organisation, he threatens to wreck the creation of a broad-based coalition. And if he damages these efforts, he will also dent the support in America and Europe for Israel.

Just look at what Mr Sharon has done since the bombing of the World Trade Centre and Pentagon. Immediately, he intensified attacks on the Palestinians, thinking the West would turn a blind eye. He sent his forces into the towns of Jenin, Jericho and Ramallah, which are supposed to [be] under Palestinian self-rule, launched helicopter missile assaults on the Gaza Strip and tightened Israel's grip on mainly Arab east Jerusalem. Admittedly, there were provocations for these actions, but they also suited Mr Sharon's temperamental desire to defeat the Palestinians rather than negotiate with them.

Meanwhile Mr Arafat, far from aligning himself with the Islamic lunatic fringe, has cannily gone the extra mile to court US opinion. He clamped down on anti-American demonstrations in his fiefdom, publicly gave blood for the victims of the attacks and proclaimed a ceasefire, which has sharply reduced the overall level of violence. Even the loathsome Hamas terrorists have melted temporarily into the shadows.

Israel has far too much first-hand knowledge of suicide bombers, having suffered vicious attacks at the hands of groups such as Fatah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad. We can understand its people's dismay as they see Mr Straw hurrying to Iran, a country which has never concealed its desire to see their country annihilated; we can sympathise with their fear that Mr Arafat has scented a shift in the regional balance of power as the West needs to ingratiate itself with Arab opinion.

But Israel's best interests will not be served by poking sticks in the Palestinians' eye at a time when the West is straining every muscle to persuade the Muslim world that the war against Osama bin Laden is not a war against Islam. The Americans may be very close to Israel, but Mr Sharon will be making a mistake of historic dimensions if he forces them to choose between maintaining their alliance with Israel and winning the wider war against terror.

"Even the loathsome Hamas terrorists have melted temporarily into the shadows."

Note the key word here. The reason Sharon is taking a hard line is because he knows full well that Arafat's leashed thugs will crawl back out into the daylight once the immediate conflict has "blown over."

We couldn't ask for a truer friend than Israel OR Sharon.

I believe Sharon is large part of the problem in the Mid east. he has almost no support in Europe, the UK and the friendly Arab nations that will be part of GWBs coalition. his obstinacy and defiance to playing GWBs lead is harming the formation of a coalition that must contain friendly Arab nations to succeed. Lest we not forget sharons past behavior, his guilty finding by an Israeli tribunal for a slaughter of 2,000 muslims in 1988 in Lebanon. GWBs plan is to wipe out terrorism in the middle east and also to establish peace and harmony amongst Israelis and Arabs. GWB does not wish to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from Israel. Sharon does.

Right, I've heard it all before. "Sharon is a war criminal, he's getting in the way, he's unpopular in Europe, blah blah blah"

What baloney. Arafat is a criminal who has ordered the executions of Americans. Our so-called allies in the "moderate" Arab states are petty potentates who care more for buying gold-plated toilets than for their own people. And as for Europe, well, let's just say that their judgment as to who is and is not a war criminal hasn't been so great over the last 50 years.

What classical Orwellian doublespeak, 'war is peace' nonsense. Were it not for the OSLO abomination there would be no OSLO WAR that threatens the possibility of a nuclear conflagaration. Arafat is as much a mass-murdering devil as any other middle eastern Islamic demoniac, why the masonic NWO conspiracy has chosen to anoint him 'Saint Yasser' can only be explained in terms of their ultimate will to irradicate the Jewish state.

The west has forced Isreal to accept the evil offspring of Haman, the nephew of Hitler's Arab advisor in a glaring display of diabolical intent. In betraying 'the Chosen People' the United States may very well have crossed the rubicon with the only true God, the God of Jacob. He has promised to curse nations which curse His people..............We in this nation will continue to experience the reality that God cannot lie as long as Colin Powell has his way and the Jewish state continues to be treated as pariah.

(To those false prophets in our country who only teach the message of God's loving kindness; the Bible is clear that even if His mercy is great, His commitment to His promises is greater)

The Arabs will not stop the fighting for one day. I don't blame Sharon. I only blame him for being soft on the Arabs and not killing 10 of them for every Jew killed.

Many conservatives in the Mediterranean World
are between a rock and a hard place.
This includes Iberians, Italians, Greeks, Serbs, Macedonians,Romanians
Bulgarians, Armenians, Assyrians, Lebanese(Christians)and Israeli's
Many of us feel that the Whites have helped the Muslims
against us, as both Dems and Repubs voted to bomb the Serbs
(fellow Christians by the way) for the Muslims,
in our eyes a horrid and big mistake,
which is hard for us to forgive you all for.
Get where we are coming from!
None of those in Northern Europe or America really
know of our special security needs at this time
Are you taking our needs or just your own needs
into consideration at this time?
Many Northern Europeans and White Americans
have trained, armed and helped the Muslims.
With the Night Vision Goggle Issue as well as other
concerns still unresolved can you but blame us,
for being very sceptical towards both
the Muslims and the Whites right now.
We hope to be posting on the Night Vision Goggle Issue
as well as our other concerns very soon

SO WHAT? The brits sent Jews right back into the holocaust, the Europeans are controlled by the Vatican, and there is no such thing as a "friendly Arab nations".........there are only the wicked which will ultimate join themselves together to attack Jerusalem and to experience the wrath of Almighty God, the Jewish Messiah who is soon to be revealed.

Pure lies, but in the context of Islamic suicide bombing of Jewish civilians, if it were true, the feeling would be completely understood.............

As a matter of fact, any thinking person in the United States might desire the wholesale deportation of ALL Islamic middle eastern persons, residing in this country, who are sympathetic with the recent attacks upon the WTC.

This is a veiled threat against the USA.

The without fighting expression is meaningless. The Arab killers do not fight like men, they kill innocent women and children with glee. The death of innocents is their pleasure and military and religious goal.

When you call for martyrdom, you become an enemy of this nation. I hope the FBI can trace your location, and check you over pretty close.

Americans do not want martyrs for Islam running around loose in this country. You want to be a martyr for Islam go to the cesspool from which you came.

Get off this HOLY AMERICAN SOIL.

How many Arab nations recognized Israel's right to exist before Sharon came to power? How many Arab nations would agree to join any coalition that included Israel regardless of who the Prime Minister was?

(Hint: the answers are 1 and 0)

Lest we not forget sharons past behavior, his guilty finding by an Israeli tribunal for a slaughter of 2,000 muslims in 1988 in Lebanon.

Not quite true. He was found guilty of not doing enough to stop Lebanese Christian Arabs from killing Palestinians. Sharon and his army were never found guilty of participating in it.

Despite the fact that the Euros overlook we have a PLO problem in our own country and who knows when the Hamas and Islamic Jihad suicide bombers pick up the slack for OBL. Then what? Do we tell Israel to let us overfly their nation to bomb the West Bank??? The PLO is a Trojan horse and we have let that horse park at many of our college campuses throughout the U.S. I'm afraid that the Sbarro incident could happen at one of our malls any day now. And where will the liberal Eurotrash press be then? Blaming us of course.

Patent nonsense. One Pakistani grocer, one Sikh, and one Coptic Christian have already been martyred in America without fighting. I understand there's been a fourth backlash murder, but I don't recall any details. I and my entire family are simply waiting for the attack on our home that sends us all to paradise, although realistically we probably won't be so fortunate. You left off the end, "Be like the better son of Adam," which clearly -- to anyone familiar with the story -- is entirely passive toward a homicidal attack and places the burden of all of the victim's sins on the killer.

You can lie with more finesse than that, I'm sure.

The without fighting expression is meaningless. The Arab killers do not fight like men, they kill innocent women and children with glee. The death of innocents is their pleasure and military and religious goal.

I'm not Arab. Most muslims aren't.

When you call for martyrdom, you become an enemy of this nation. I hope the FBI can trace your location, and check you over pretty close.

I talked with John just the other day. He's pretty busy, but he knows where I am and where to reach me should he have a question.

Americans do not want martyrs for Islam running around loose in this country. You want to be a martyr for Islam go to the cesspool from which you came.

My grandfather sold the farm outside of Sweet Home, Oregon, many years ago, I can't go back there now, as much as I wish it were still in the family.

Get off this HOLY AMERICAN SOIL.

Now why should I leave my homeland?

No casualties, though, I'm an Oregon-bred Life scout, a Vietnam era veteran, and the Republican Precinct Committeeman here in town. Blowing up straw men in a suicide bombing is about par for him, though.

You guys are joking, right? Sharon has been acting like a peace nick pussy cat compared to Arafat.

And as far as the whole piece of article, it's a mixture of religious and leftist ideological masturbating wishful assumption making crap. Fact: terror within Saudi Arabia et al against Christian and Jewish development inevitably leads to international terrorism and search to destroy Israel and commit "Westernicide". It would not take G_d to rule the Earth to figure that the Nazified Middle East needs to be transformed into a searing lake of plasma, nope, the plain facts speak for themselves for any half brained individual out there.

The Middle East's terror is very much on par with the terror waged at Soddom and Gomorrah against decent individuals.

We in this nation will continue to experience the reality that God cannot lie as long as Colin Powell has his way and the Jewish state continues to be treated as pariah.

More terrorist attacks, then, is what you have planned?

(To those false prophets in our country who only teach the message of God's loving kindness; the Bible is clear that even if His mercy is great, His commitment to His promises is greater)

I certainly believe so.

But if you will not hearken to the voice of the Lord your God, and do not observe and do all His commandments and His statutes which I command you this day, then all these curses shall come upon you and overtake you.
Cursed shall you be in the city, and cursed shall you be in the field.
Cursed shall be your breadbasket and your dough.
Cursed shall be the fruit of your body and the fruit of your land, the herds of your oxen and the flocks of your sheep.
Cursed shall you be when you come in, and cursed shall you be when you go out.
The Lord shall send upon you cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that you set your hand to do, until you be destroyed, and until you perish quickly, because of the wickedness of your doings, whereby you have forsaken Me.
The Lord shall make the pestilence cling to you, until He has consumed you from off the land, to which you go to possess it.

Which Promise continues for the next three pages at Deuteronomy 28:15-68. Picking it up again at 28:49,

The Lord shall bring a nation against you from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flies; a nation whose tongue you will not understand;
A nation of fierce countenance, who shall not regard the person of the old, nor show favor to the young.

And it continues.

So tell us -- is this an eternal Promise or is it old fairy tales? Where in all of this do Americans inherit four hijacked planes making six thousand martyrs?

So what part of the moon are you from -- the dark side?

Come now, you can do better than that. It's too easy to find me and verify that I was born in Portland, Oregon during World War II while my father was in the U.S. Navy. You can call John at the Spokane FBI office if you like. He should have my file by now. He's in a meeting at the moment, though.

Or call our State Committeewoman. She knows me, there aren't any other muslim precinct committeemen around here. I just talked to her and she was shocked at what you wrote.

You can lie much better than that, I'm sure.

Arabs lie, lie, lie without end. Don't think that we don't understand your veiled incitment for martyrdom on this site. With that meaningless disclaimer "without fighting."

Your hired hands made 6,398 martyrs on September 11 in New York alone, that's the latest number I've seen, and your friends and neighbors in America killed a Pakistani grocer, a Sikh gas station attendant, and a Coptic Christian, making three more martyrs. Which of these 6,401 martyrs was fighting?

And was Abel fighting when Cain killed him? Look it up. There's nothing unclear about my sig, except for those who deny what God has said. But I guess that includes you?

We know that Arabs terrorists do not fight. They hide bombs in restaurants, and malls, and busses. In battle they throw away their shoes so they can run faster.

I thought the party line was that they're all suicidal.

Our country was attacked by EVIL, and you call for more martyrs, where is your humanity? Be ashamed of yourself.

"Be like the better son of Adam" is hardly a call to anything but passivity in the face of a homicidal assault. Ask any Mason or Shriner. Our country is still under attack, your people aren't done yet.

But the backlash isn't quite what you expected. Only three dead, and the bookstores are sold out of copies of the Qur'an, the mosques are overwhelmed with Americans accepting Islam or just coming with friendly concern or curiosity -- someone on your side really miscalculated.

I have lots of Turkish moslem friends. And I have no gripe with Islam. I know that the Turks are very good people, whose religion is very liberal, and peaceful.

I have Sikh and Pakistani friends who are some of the best people I know.

I don't have any Arab Moslem friends. The few that I know are horrible people. Of the 4 Arab moslem doctors I know. All 4 lost their medical licenses because of foul temper and incopmetence. One was mysteriously murdered.

I believe that the Moslem Arabs grow in a culture that is the opposite of tolerance, and enlightment. They are full of rage aganst everyone and everythting. I believe it is a tribal trait, reinforced by their social circumstances.

I know many Christian (Lebanese and Syrian)Arabs who are the nicest people you can meet.

There is something malignant and debased in the Arab moslem culture. Maybe it will change in the future as circumstances change, but I doubt it.

The Arabs have been trying to colonize Muslim America for longer than I've been practicing the shari'ah. I've mentioned that elsewhere in these Threads.

Salaam Aleikem

"And if they incline toward peace, you so incline also."

Wa 'alaikumus-salaam.

There are more parties behind the terror war, though, than just the Arabs. They're not operating without allies with similar interests in eradicating America for reasons I've stated elsewhere.

We in America are the heirs of Japheth, dwelling in the tents of Shem, the monotheistic religions. That produces considerable envy, just as the Arab dispensation detailed in Scripture created terminal and fatal envy among the Children of Israel. Everything I've seen from the Tuesday Terror persuades me that this is the underlying impetus, not our demented policy in Palestine. The policy is corrupt and corrupting and should be changed, but it is not the target of those behind the terror war -- we Americans are the target because of who we are.

The Promised Land is not enough for them -- each substantially identical party claims divinely-ordained hegemony over the entirety of humanity and the world, they are racist to the core. It appears to me that they're allied against America. It's not like they don't know what has always been foretold of the Lost Continent, the Cut-Off lands. Americans are the only people who've been kept in the dark.

I firmly believe that when it's all over many more Americans will realize that Israel's actions have contributed to the WTC attacks. Most support Israel now because they are unaware of the real situation over there.

I think that when Americans discover Israel's actions that have contributed to the WTC attacks it will be all over.

Rejoice, muslims, in martyrdom without fighting,
