How Long Must We Continue to Be Terrorized?
Gary Cooperberg
September 10, 2003
Ever since we were saddled with the Oslo agreement it seems that a veil of stupidity has fallen over even those who claim to be "right wing". Actually it began long before Oslo. It really began when the political hacks in this country first began to fear that Rabbi Kahane might attract a serious following. Much time, effort, and money were put into a consistent program designed to portray the rabbi as an evil "extremist". At one point the B'nai Brith Anti-defamation league was called in to create a complete defamation campaign to demonize the Rabbi in the Israeli media. The term "Kahanism" was coined as an equivalent to racism.
As a result of this rabid hatred of one man who wasn't afraid to openly state the Truth of which the rest were deathly afraid, the political clique devoted tremendous energy to declare Truth to be falsehood. Despite the clear and obvious fact that Arab Islam cannot tolerate Jewish sovereignty anywhere in the Middle East, and we now see how many are prepared to sacrifice their very lives for this axiom, a holy principle was declared that, no matter what happens, we must live with our Arab enemies. Thousands of Jewish men, women and children have been brutally butchered in murderous attacks in our streets and marketplaces and still our leaders pretend that it is only a "few radicals" who are preventing peace from descending. Even today, should someone suggest removing our Arab population from our homeland, that person would be vilified as a "racist". Yet we are engaged in a deathly struggle which will never cease until either Jews or Arabs are taken out of the equation. Given the hideous axiom that we have no choice but to learn to live with our "neighbors", it is we who guarantee continued terror.
There is no doubt that, among the vast majority of our enemies, there are some who would be willing to accept living under Jewish sovereignty in peace. But, as in all wars, innocent people suffer. To attempt to have a war in which no innocents are harmed is to make our own innocent population vulnerable to attack, which we can clearly see is already happening. When a brutal and vicious war is being conducted against us, there is no place for negotiation and compromise. In war there is only one rule . . . win. Unless winning is on the agenda we are inviting terror and self-destruction. We can win and we should win. For a government to decide not to win is to abdicate its responsibility to govern. It is criminal negligence in its lowest form. The most basic justification for a government to exist is to protect those whom it governs. When it fails to do this it has no justification to govern. Placing roadblocks all over the country may prevent some attacks or even most attacks. But it cannot stop terror as we can see even today.
There is only one "peace plan" that will work. We must decisively defeat our enemies. All Arabs who call themselves "palestinians" must be driven from our homeland. Any physical resistance must be met with a brutal and deathly response. There is no other choice.
