The end of Israel?
By Cal Thomas
"In the H.G Wells novel and subsequent film, "The Invisible Man," the main character takes a dangerous drug and slowly disappears."Unlike the Golem Man who turns back into mud when he gets too wild and dangerous.
"...Israel as it plans its latest unilateral withdrawal from Gaza, which it once "occupied" for security purposes."
...but found the cost of securing a few thousand Jews amid 1.3 million Palestinians not viable.
"...Israel is slowly disappearing, and the twin drugs of appeasement and self-delusion are responsible."
Not unlike Palestine slowly disappearing as the 23% of their original land carved out grew to 77%.
"...no more than...previous retreats, concessions, "good will" gestures and written documents have produced security or peace in the region."
And the one issue that blocked the peace process was the refusal to share Jerusalem.
"Only after Israel is destroyed will the West realize what it did and failed to do, but it will find convenient and comforting explanations to absolve itself from any blame."
And the other choice is to destroy Palestine? Will their be a convenient and comforting explanations to absolve Israel?
"Jews, you see, are always responsible not only for the world's problems, but for bringing destruction upon themselves by virtue of their being Jews."
And the Jews wash their hands of even a scintilla of quilt?
"Only after Israel is destroyed will the West realize what it did and failed to do, but it will find convenient and comforting explanations to absolve itself from any blame. Jews, you see, are always responsible not only for the world's problems, but for bringing destruction upon themselves by virtue of their being Jews"
And the Jews wash their hands of even a scintilla of guilt?
"...promises from the Palestinian side, a side that has lived up to only one pledge: to eradicate the Jewish state."
There is reason for mistrust on both sides i.e. Sharon building new settlements in the middle of peace negotiations.
"Does anyone doubt...dislodged from Gaza...Hamas and its legion of demons will rush into Gaza, expand their terror operation and begin close-up attacks on Israel?"
Yes...because the whole world is watching.
"...When the next formal war is launched against Israel...it is likely such a war will be over soon after it starts with Israeli cities reduced to rubble and casualties running to perhaps tens of thousands, or more."
Victimhood as a way of life is dangerous.
"No responsible business owner would give something to his customers without receiving something in return, or he would not remain in business for long. Why should Israel be required to do all the giving and none of the receiving?"
Because Israel is not a business? or is it?
"Have we forgotten what produced the Israeli "occupation" of the Gaza Strip? In May, 1967, the armies of Egypt, Jordan and Syria gathered on Israel's borders in another attempt to eradicate Israel."
The Gaza Strip does not separate Egypt, Jordan or Syria from the borders of Israel except for a tiny portion of Egypt - Gaza's borders are mostly the Mediterranean Sea.
"...Israel's pre-emptive strike allowed it to gain control of Gaza and the West Bank."
Preemptive? Now where have I heard that word used recently? And where is the story of the US spy ship that Israel destroyed because it had gathered evidence of the big lie?
"...Not a single Jew, living or dead, will be allowed to remain."
And of course the dead would choose to remain right?
"...Look for another intifada and then look for the State Department and the rest of the administration to again pressure Israel to "do more."
Look for Cal Thomas to insist on Complete control of Jerusalem so that extremist Jews can rebuild ... now a third temple.
"The formula is wrong. Just as the character in "The Invisible Man" was unable to find an antidote and restore what he had lost, Israel's slow disappearance from the region cannot now be reversed."
Click your heels and repeat three times only works in fairy tales...kinda kabalish.
"The West, having failed 60 years ago to save millions of Jews from the murderous ways of the Third Reich, will have new blood on its hands which history will not, and should not, allow it ever to wipe clean."
Nor will the blood on Jewish hands be wiped away. 20 million Russians died in World War II. There is blame enough to go around, to every mall shopper, pizza eater, plush opulence, weapons manufacturer, arms dealers, dirty politicians and yes yellow journalism, to name a few.
