The Last Straw

Jack Straw, the British foreign minister, is continuing the British tradition of Jew hatred. He has of late been suggesting that the UN was quick to exercise an imposition of force against Iraq for failing to comply with UN resolutions; yet when it came to imposing the same force upon Israel for also failing to comply with resolutions, it was dragging its feet.
While the words may sound reasonable the facts clearly indicate a blatant anti Israel bias. The Iraqi government has presented a clear and present danger to the world. Aside from supporting terrorist organizations, it has been developing very dangerous weapons of mass destruction. It was this same Iraq which, about twelve years ago, was about to complete construction of a nuclear plant which could have turned the Middle East into an inferno. At that time it was only the tiny state of Israel which had the courage to just go in with three fighter jets and blast that plant into smithereens ... without consulting the UN beforehand. The British and others had nothing but condemnation for Israel's violating international air space and attacking Iraq. But it was this act that saved us from a likely nuclear holocaust.
George Bush was exercising his responsibility as leader of the free world when he decided to go in and disarm Saddam Hussein. He wanted and expected support from the world body, but his moral obligation to take action superceded the incompetence and foot dragging of the UN. Of course few wish to admit that the UN has its hands tied behind its back owing to the tremendous influence exerted upon it by Islamic nations which do not want to see the US meddling in the Middle East.
For Straw to dare make a comparison between a mad dictator who may be approaching the ability to initiate a nuclear war, with Israeli refusal to submit to terrorist demands to create a foreign state upon her sovereign soil is a moral outrage. It is grounds for Israel to recall her ambassador to England, and to expel England's ambassador to Israel until a profound apology is made and Straw removed from his post.
Straw's comments are particularly dangerous in that they may well set the stage for an attempt at an international imposition of Israeli surrender to the demands of the PLO! No international body has the right to impose restrictions upon the sovereignty of any nation unless it is clearly an act of self defense, such as the situation in Iraq. To demand that Israel create a PLO state on her own soil is not only to violate Israel's sovereignty, it is to aid and abet terrorist enemies of Israel in their attempt to destroy her. This is tantamount to an act of war against the Jewish State! I suppose Straw has never forgiven us for throwing England out of our country.
If the Israeli government does not act swiftly and harshly in reaction to these statements, it will soon find that the so called "Road Map" will become a death warrant.
