No country in history has dealt with a Terror War as long as Israel. Since the first large wave of Jewish immigration to Palestine in 1882, Jews have been considered the enemy by the Arabs.
The so-called Pan Arab Nation, stretching of course across the Middle East, has had a fanatical hatred of the Jews and Israel, from the beginning. Jordan’s first King Abdullah was an exception; he was prepared to make peace with Israel when he was assassinated outside Al-Aksa Mosque in 1952. His grandson, the current king, could take some cues from Grandpa. Today’s King Abdullah has recently joined in the incitement game, shifting blame for his governing failures to Israel.
My friend, Kay Wilson, an Israeli who was hacked with a machete by Palestinians and left for dead, recently picked up an elderly Arab hitchhiker, who was thirsty in the desert. He cursed his fellow Arabs for murdering Jews and Kay posted a pic of the two of them, smiling, on Facebook.
Not all Palestinians hate the Jews.
But too many of them do.
From the Iranian nuclear ambitions, to the knifing and shooting attacks that have erupted in the last several weeks, Israel finds herself besieged. When one considers the sheer scope of the Terror War against Israel, it is truly astonishing.
Consider the fact that Hamas last year had a sophisticated tunnel system in place, ready to spring terrorists on unsuspecting Israelis…in their homes and businesses! Israel was able to literally uncover this plot in the nick of time.
Next, imagine you are headed to the shuk to shop for fruits and vegetables, ahead of Shabbat. You are turning a corner in a neighborhood you are long familiar with, when all of a sudden a young Arab man in nice jogging clothes produces a knife and tries to kill you.
Now, wrap your mind around the fact that you watch the evening news and hear of Sheik Nasrallah’s latest threats to use Hezbollah’s rocket stockpiles to rain death down on the Jewish state.
It’s enough to make one question the international community’s sanity.
Israel under Benjamin Netanyahu has great experience thwarting terror. It is a way of life for Israelis.
For the most part, they have opted for surgical strikes against Hamas, and the rest of the killers. Frankly, concern over international condemnation has caused Israel to show too much restraint. Summer wars against Hamas, cross-border commando raids, diplomacy, preparation for conventional warfare…all these things are routine planning for Israel.
There have been myriad proposals over the years, and even the Arabs know Oslo long ago was a failure.
I propose a plan.
Population transfer on a large scale is not going to happen in today’s world. However, I believe the Israelis should implement a limited population transfer:
Send the Palestinian Authority to Gaza. Dismantle all governmental structures in Hebron, Bethlehem, Ramallah, etc. Bulldoze Saeb Erekat’s home in Jericho. The same with Abu Mazen in Ramallah. Load all the ministers and corrupt hangers-on onto trucks and ship them to the Gaza Strip, then seal it off.
In this way, the two main terror entities, Hamas and the PA, will be pinned between mighty Israel and Egypt, which almost equally loathes the thugs.
I believe that while international condemnation would certainly be forthcoming, Israel would however be left alone to clean its streets of terrorist scum.
Under Ariel Sharon’s premiership, the IDF came relatively close to targeting top PA leadership. When Israel fails to do so, it loses its deterrent effect. Netanyahu has been even more restrained.
Restraint means one thing to the Arabs: Open Season on Jews.
This is unacceptable.
Remove the terror masters, and then see if over the course of the next generation Palestinians decide to behave and join the civilized world.
It’s their only chance.
