Aid To PLO Terrorists
On Tuesday, Muslim barbarians brutally murdered four Israeli civilians on a road that had previously housed an Israeli anti-terror roadblock. The road block, and 18 others, had been removed after demands by the Obama administration. The ambush attack occurred in the West Bank on a road near Hebron. Gunmen opened fire on the vehicle, killing all four people inside, two men and two women, one of whom was pregnant.
Hamas has claimed responsibility for the terror attack, and the Associated Press reports that several thousand people joined in a rally in Gaza to celebrate the ghastly murders. According to the AP, a spokesmouth for Hamas said, “The Qassam Brigades announces its full responsibility for the heroic operation in Hebron.” These people are animals.
This happened on the eve of meetings in Washington between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas, and representatives from Egypt and Jordan. Hamas is against the peace talks and has pledged more attacks to come.
Aaron Klein, reporting for WorldNetDaily, wrote that Israel had already conceded parts of Jerusalem before the negotiations even began,
“Speaking in an interview with Israel’s Haaretz newspaper, Defense Minister Ehud Barak outlined a deal with the Palestinians: ‘West Jerusalem and 12 Jewish neighborhoods that are home to 200,000 residents will be ours. The Arab neighborhoods in which close to a quarter million Palestinians live will be theirs.
‘There will be a special regime in place along with agreed upon arrangements in the Old City, the Mount of Olives and the City of David,’ added Barak.
Barak told the newspaper what is needed ‘is courage to make historic, painful decisions. I’m not saying that there is certainty for success, but there is a chance. This chance must be exploited to the fullest.’
Israel annexed northern and eastern Jerusalem, including the Old City and the Temple Mount, during the 1967 Six-Day War. The Palestinians, however, have claimed eastern Jerusalem as a future capital.”
It’s deeply heartbreaking to watch Israel continue giving up more and more of its territory. The Israelis must know that no amount of land gifts to the so-called Palestinians will ever quench the Palestinians’ hunger for what belongs to the Jewish people. There is no peace to be had with these Muslims, and there never could be. Hamas controls Gaza, and as you can see, even when Israel is graciously attempting to work out some kind of deal for a Palestinian state, Hamas continues its maniacal, murderous attacks with no regard for human life, much less the negotiations.
The senseless murders on Tuesday further illustrate the futility of Israel trying to appease these Muslim enemies in Gaza and elsewhere. Even if Israel suddenly vanished into thin air, these people would still be at war with those around them.
The killings may have been prevented had the Obama administration kept out of Israel’s business, instead of demanding they remove many of their anti-terror roadway checkpoints. Israel made a huge mistake giving in to the ridiculous demand by this socialist American administration.
Aaron Klein writes that the demand originated with the Palestinian Authority,
“The checkpoints were dismantled in line with demands from the Palestinian Authority that were passed on to Israel by the Obama administration.
George Mitchell, the White House envoy to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, specifically requested that Israel remove roadblocks and checkpoints as a confidence-building gesture to restart talks with the PA, Israeli officials told WND.
Anti-terror roadblocks and checkpoints impede Palestinian movement, but have been credited with stopping scores of attacks.”
I don’t see how this ends well, with endless concessions by Israel to these violent ingrates. Israel cannot win this way. The only language these people understand is the language of brute force, and that is the only way to contain them—to overpower them. Giving in to their outrageous demands only fuels their disdain for Israel. Concessions are viewed as weakness by the Islamists.
One thing is certain; it will go very badly for those who come against God’s beloved Israel, very badly indeed. In the meantime, we must never stop remembering Israel in our prayers, and pray for the families and friends of those four people and the unborn baby who were unceremoniously robbed of their lives on Tuesday by an enemy whose heart is as dark as hell itself.
