The final straw is a recent EU vote that complains the U.S. shouldn't be standing with Israel against the Palestinians and in fact trys to lend support to Palestinians and Arafat while at the same time it admonishes Arafat to better control the terrorists.  This only days after Hamas proclaims an all out war.   Another good reason for the U.K. to distance itself from the EU.   As Arafat has become more and more marginalized, his usefulness as the representative of the Palestinians has vanished and Israel is right to ignore his rhetoric.  The bombers continue to keep walking into crowded areas and killing Israelis left and right, and with no one able to control them, Israel has nobody to negotiate with.  Thus few have any hope for a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict anytime soon.  MILNET has looked at this conflict from differing views.  We've even taken the  politically incorrect approach of attempting to discern how one would deport all non-Jews from Israel and looking again at Israel expanding borders.  Now we clearly see the handwriting on the wall --
 

Israel may soon take pre-emptive action

With all the solutions we can think of on the table, and few of them effective, the danger to the so called Palestinian cause gets greater.  For soon Israel will having nothing to lose by picking the easiest road out.  With Israeli's capture of weapons on their way to Hamas and probably Fatah, they now believe they have the moral obligation to make pre-emptive moves to shore up their security.  With Hezbollah stupidly showing their faces every chance they get, the case for Israeli pre-emptive actions grows daily.  Certainly the Israeli's local containment policy has failed and rather than giving peace a chance, Israeli leaders in the most recent past have done nothing more than attempt appeasement with people only concerned with the Israeli body count.  No let's say it like it is, dead Jews.  And anyone shopping, eating with or standing at a bus stop wiht Jews is as good as a Jew and killing them is just fine too.

With that in mind, the Palestinian factions training young people to strap on bombs and attack Israelis are no different than Al-Qaida training pilots to fly planes into big tall buildings in the U.S.  The threat to Israel from Lebanon and Syria, and the Hamas/Hezbollah combination is as real as the threat to the U.S. that prompted President George Bush to go after Al-Qaida and the Taliban.  And it is as real as the threat the IRA has presented to the U.K.

It is high time that the world realize that Israel, the U.K. and the U.S. are now inseparable.  If Arab nations cannot see there is no difference between a Hamas or Hezbollah attack on innocent Jews in Israel and the attack on the World Trade Center Towers, then that nation is thinking like a terrorist nation.  If they feel uncomfortable helping the U.S. and Israel eliminate this common threat, they they should start preparing for war right now.

The patience of civilized nations has ended.   A look at the Israeli-Palestinian chronologyover the last two years is more than enough to build the case and sadly, support the only solution.  The United Kingdom's chronology with the IRA and its splinter groups reads like pages from the same book.  Israel fights a terrorist enemy, retribution exchanged for retribution, just as the U.K. has done for over a century, and now the U.S. is attempting to do the same, taking the war to the terrorist's hiding places.  The left and appeasers whine about treatment of prisoners in GITMO as if this were a conventional war or if the terrorists were pickpockets at the dock.  Grow up, get real, and get ready.

The U.S. and U.K. Must Aid Israel In Crushing  Hamas and Hezbollah

Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye.  The President of the United States has declared War on Terrorism.  Over 80% of the U.S. population supports the President in polls that typically lean 15% away from any Republican President.  In other words, there are probably less than  5% Americans who don't support the President in his ambition to rid the world of Terrorism.

Countries around the world have signed the pact to seize financial instruments of terrorist organizations and those who sponsor them.  The majority have given aid dollars, intelligence, or military forces to help in the fight.

Let's turn back to the Mideast.  Iran says "yeah we support you" but continues to breed terrorism and is probably hiding half the Al-Qaida despite their muslim sect differences.  Iraq of course hates everything western except our weapons especially if they are buying.  Lebanon and Syria breed the suicide bombers that attack Israeli citizens almost daily.  When the checkpoints were solid, they used mortars instead.

The largest number of nations who breed or support Terrorism are in the Middle East and North Africa.  It is no coincidence that the countries involved are all predominately muslim and have education systems similar to that of the Taliban of Afghanistan, Lebanon, Syria and Saudi Arabia.   Their holy leaders preach death and suicide and the Holy Jihad against anyone with indoor plumbing.  First the Jews and then their friends.   The cradle of civilization has become the cradle of uncivilization.  We cannot be friends of the terrorists and we are devoted friends to Israel.  Therefore we must defend our friends and immediately strike out at our enemies.

Saudi Arabia continues to breed terrorists at an incredible rate.  Give them 60 days to change their educational system and eject or turnover terrorists, or else.  Similarly, we need the same approach for Pakistan whose efforts to show how anti-terrorist they have become doesn't fool anyone.  Iran and Iraq breed em like flies!  And Syria and Lebanon feed them and house them.  Pakistan is the country that grew the Taliban including the Mullah Omar, and supplied them with tens of thousands of Pakistani soldiers. Saudi Arabia bred many of Al-Qaida's leaders including Al-Qaida leader Osama Bin Laden.  Iran is hiding them and Iraq cheers them on.  These six nations alone probably account for 90% of the terrorists trained in Afghanistan.  90%!

And of course Israel's other neighbors are quietly not being helpful.  Lebanon and Syria.

If you were to draw up a list of countries supporting anti-terrorism or not, you wind up with  nations in four columns;  "Happy to Support Terrorists (HST)", "Pay Lip Service, but do little or nothing (PLS)", "Can't Help (CH)", "Ready To Go get 'em (RTG)".  Guess where most of the Middle Eastern and more than a few North African countries fall?'

With the world at war against terrorism, why do we put up with Hamas and Hezbollah and their puppets in Fatah?  They must be eliminated immediately as the number one active terrorists in the world today.  To do otherwise is inviting their nurturing of more terrorists to come into our countries.
