Deranged and Dangerous

"With Allah’s help and in keeping with our people's right for resistance and our duty to sacred jihad, our forces on Thursday night carried out a necessary action in which they fired on a car of occupying settlers that left the settlement of Itamar, built on Palestinian lands in the south of the city of Hebron." "They fired on the car and killed the settler and his partner."

"What President Abbas should be speaking out against are the actions of militant Islamists who are smuggling explosives into the al-Aqsa mosque and who are trying to prevent Jews and Christians from visiting the holy sites."
"That’s the real threat to these sacred sites."
"A thousand years before the birth of Christianity, more than 1,500 years before the birth of Islam, King David made Jerusalem our capital, and King Solomon built the Temple on that mount.
Yet Israel, Israel will always respect the sacred shrines of all."
"In a region plagued by violence and by unimaginable intolerance, in which Islamic fanatics are destroying the ancient treasures of civilization, Israel stands out as a towering beacon of enlightenment and tolerance."
"Far from endangering the holy sites, it is Israel that ensures their safety."
"Because unlike the powers who have ruled Jerusalem in the past, Israel respects the holy sites and freedom of worship of all – Jews, Muslims, Christians, everyone."

The difference between Jews and Arabs is that Jews do not rest their reverence for Jehovah on expressing their piousness by deliberately seeking to slaughter other human beings. The Arab Palestinians, on the other hand, claim that their continual deadly assaults on Jews are performed by them on instruction of and in praise of Allah who aids them in their violent exploits of vengeance; they do the will of Allah.

In his speech to the United Nations this week Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas sanctimoniously accused Israel of undermining peace, of destroying the peace talks, of not adhering to Palestinian demands that would produce an agreement for the establishment of a Palestinian state. Among those agreements pressed for famously, is the demand that east Jerusalem, the ancient capital of Israel, be turned over to the PA as the capital of their new state.

Another is the insistence of right of return, that all the assumed 700,000 Palestinians who fled when the assembled armies of the Arab Middle East marched to destroy the fledgling State of Israel in 1948, and their descendants now numbering in the vicinity of five million be granted the right to return, flooding Israel with Palestinians and constituting a viral threat of engulfment and violence. Another way of dissolution of Israel being achieved.

The PA does not feel it is incumbent on it, however to make any concessions to peace. Their dedication to the peace process is a fiction, one geared to persuade the international community that they are victims of a cruel and oppressive occupier, whose 'occupation' has been occasioned by the necessity of the state to protect its people from ongoing murderous attacks. State something with the conviction of victimhood often enough and the 'victim' who victimizes others, and the onlookers who view the supposed underdog as the victim will believe the slander.

Just as Palestinians revel in their victimhood, dependents for the past 70 years of international welfare under the tutelage and oppressive corruption of a leadership that has kept them as 'victims', a status that the international community responds to, the United Nations is complicit in maintaining the fiction that Palestinians are refugees requiring international financial support, a welfare state unwilling to wean itself into the pride of maturity and independence.

Instead it has never stopped agitating and inciting to violence, from the inception of the PLO and Fatah in the early 1960s whose covenant speaks of the destruction of Israel, to the present where the maps it produces reflect no existence of the Jewish state, to the teaching of Palestinian children that Jews are their enemy that must be destroyed and the noblest aspiration is to be a suicide bomber, the PA has proven, time and again it is not a partner for peace.

Fatah, whose head is Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, represents the largest faction within the Palestine Liberation Organization, which has never surrendered its terrorist credentials, and which is the governing body in West Bank areas controlled by the Palestinian Authority. The statement of responsibility for the murder of two Israelis in the presence of their four children more than adequately demonstrated the Palestinian willingness to approach peace with Israel.

Not only has Fatah's lethal terrorist branch gloated over its killing of the young couple, but they also warn that Israel should make no attempts to take revenge for their killing, warning "the enemy against taking revenge on civilians", since "any war crimes would be severely retaliated against". The lunacy of believing that Fatah operatives can slaughter Israeli civilians with impunity, while warning Israel off harming Palestinian civilians constituting a "war crime", speaks volumes of the madness with which Israel must  cope.

Israel's most sacred  religious site is situated on the Temple Mount in east Jerusalem, alongside the later-constructed third most holy sites in Islam, which Arabs call the Noble Sanctuary. Under an agreement with Jordan which had previously administered the ancient Old City, Muslims have free access to their holy sites for prayer, but Jews, to prevent the volatility of hostility emanating from the Palestinians from erupting into violence, may not pray there.

Israel, which won jurisdiction of its ancient  capital in the 1967 war that restored the area to Jewish worship at the Wailing Wall, has acceded to Arab demands that their sacred sites be safeguarded, while accusing Israel of nefarious plans to alter the arrangement in favour of destroying the Muslim sites to re-erect the ancient Temple of Solomon. Jews approach the Temple Mount with reverence, but unable to pray, while Arabs stone them and create violent confrontations.

Fatah's rival Palestinian terror group Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, applauded the attack that killed the two young Israeli parents. A spokesman, Husam Badran, congratulated Palestinians on the killings, referring to the fatal shooting if the two defenceless Israelis as a "heroic operation". All of which typifies Palestinian intransigence and their agenda to destroy the Jewish State and all that it represents; democracy, fairness, equality and human rights.
