AN ARAB,

is dead. Now what? There is going to be a blood bath. The Arabs don't
know any other way. They live lives of violence, that's the way they
make decisions, and that's not about to change now. They will inevitably
start killing each other as part of a war of inheritance. There's much
to gain: power, prestige, and money – lots and lots of money. Maybe a
free trip to Washington, a picture with George W., with luck a ceremony
on the White House lawn, and if history should replay itself, a Nobel
Peace Prize and a big slot in the history books.
The Arabs have absolutely no respect for human life. Look how many of their own they've sacrificed over the years. A couple of weeks ago a 16-year old genocide bomber blew himself up, killing some more Israeli Jews. Fifteen year olds have been apprehended on their way to perpetrate such horrible crimes. Any leadership that sees 15 and 16 year olds as expendables, clearly don't care about life. As far as they are concerned, life is a means to an end, and if it helps them meet their goals, is worthless." "But," they continued to ask, "maybe something has changed – new leadership, free elections, etc.?" "Do me a favor," I responded. "There are twenty two Arab states in the Middle East. Find me one democracy. Show me one Arab state which has 'free elections.' Of course, some states, like Egypt, do conduct elections every so often, but there is only one candidate. In other countries, if you vote for the wrong person or party, you simply disappear. And many others, don't even attempt to play the game. The leadership is sold, inherited, or taken by force. That's simply the way it is." "Now, please explain to me why the so-called 'palestinians' should be any different. These people live by the sword and the gun. This is the way they've lived for centuries. How can anyone expect them to suddenly put down their weapons and start living like Americans in the United States. Their culture does not understand the meaning of free democratic elections." "Remember," I told them, "the Islamic fundamentalist culture that they espouse is diametrically opposed to the western culture you are trying to force down their throats. Not only don't they believe in it, they vehemently reject it. The attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, the terror in Spain, there is no end to it.
A few months ago I interviewed the director of the Norwegian chapter of the International Christian Embassy, Leif Wellerop, while he was visiting Hebron, and asked him his thoughts about the huge influx of Islam into Europe. His response was instant and still resounds in my ears. "World War Three has already started,!" he exclaimed. The Muslims are attacking western, Christian values, traditions and culture, and their way is, of course, the way of the sword."
These are the people that the State of Israel are expected to 'make peace' with. These are our 'partners.' The departure of Arafat, the 20th century's second-ranking terrorist [after Hitler] is, according to western leaders, media, and everyone else, an historic changing of the guard, the opening of a "new chapter," a "fresh chance" for peace. Right, tell me all about it.
He is, of course, playing on Arab intelligence to believe him. Forget the fact that two of his bodyguards were killed. Of course it wasn't an attempt to kill him. They just "lost control" of themselves, and Abu Mazen, by chance, happened to be in the way. Right. That's the way they live, and that's the way they're going to continue to live – whether we like it or not. Forget about western democracy, forget about free elections. The name of the game is violence, money and corruption. And, of course, the primary element: the desire to wipe the State of Israel, and all it's Jewish inhabitants, off the map. ..................................... You remember the story about the guy who said he could train a cat to be just like a human waiter. He found a tame cat, and for an entire year worked very hard, teaching the cat how to walk on two legs, how to carry a tray, how to bow, how to act with proper manners in front of important people. Finally the day came. The cat entered the hall, wearing a tux and bow tie, spruced-up, looking great. In his 'hands' the cat held a tray filled with exotic delicacies. He started serving table by table, and all the participants laughed with delight. Tray after tray, until finally, he appeared with glasses filled to the brim with an exquisite brew.
Once a cat, always a cat. Learn how to deal with them, as they are, like it or not. Once an Arab, always an Arab. Learn what they are, learn how to deal with them, as they are – like it or not. The above article was edited from the full-length article which appears Here. |
