So now it begins…
Israel and Hezbollah are engaged in open warfare in Lebanon. Israel has the implicit backing of the United States and Hezbollah has the explicit backing of Syria and Iran. I cannot say that I am surprised at Israel’s actions. I believe that the State of Israel has a right to exist and that the Jewish people have a right to their homeland. For years the Israeli government has tried to negotiate a peaceful settlement with the Arab states so that their state and people can exist and yet after major consessions to the PLO and other groups, the people of Irael live under a threat of extermination no less sincere than that of the Third Reich. It seems that the Israelis have gotten tired of negotiating with those who wish to exterminate them.
Make no mistake, Hezbollah, Hamas and the PLO have never really disavowed the Endlosung der Judenfrage, the Final Solution. They will not rest until every Jew in the world is exterminated. After the Jews are exterminated, the Christians are next. These thugs will not rest until the entire world lives under their twisted theocracy of oppression and ignorance.
France has condemned Israel. Other European powers are sure to follow. Why? Because they have lost the ability to discern the terrorists from the terrorized. These are the same powers who sacrificed Czechosolvakia to Hitler in order to try to gain some peace. They are more than willing to sacrifice Israel to the terrorists. This time however, the Israelis will not be sacrificed. They have the will and the wherewithal to fight back and that is what they are doing. They, unlike the French, have realized that appeasement does not work and that sometimes you do have to fight in order to obtain peace. I hope that the Israelis defeat Hezbollah and I hope that they do find peace. After the Diaspora and the Final Solution, peace is what the Jewish people deserve.
