With Trump Comes Stark Reality

 

Already this last year of the Presidency of Barack Obama there has been a dozen terrorist attacks which have been verified as such. In one mere twelve hour stretch in September the American people found out it may not be safe to go shopping in a mall in Minnesota, go running a five kilometer not so fun run in New Jersey or walk window-shopping on the streets of New York City without risk of terrorism striking and potentially injuring or taking one’s most precious life. The United States has faced car bombings, remote detonated bombings, suicide bombings and shooting sprees where the attacker was only stopped when shot dead by an armed citizen or law enforcement officer. All of these terrorist styled attacks were first perfected against Israel where initially they received minimal notice by the Western World media as it was just Israel. Often any reporting on such terror attacks in Israel were covered in such a manner that it appeared as if the Israelis had shot the terrorist who then retaliated with his bombing, shooting or whatever attack as the title was often Palestinian shot by Israeli Defense Force or Palestinian Killed by Israeli Police or other misleading phrasing. As such attacks spread to Europe and across other Middle East and North African Arab nations where their Christian, Kurdish, Hindu or Buddhist minorities were often the targets with some attacks were Sunni-Shia violence and these made the reporting even in Israel more accurate. Now that attacks have spread to the United States the reporting has become stark noted by the insistence after each attack initially the authorities deny any possible tie to terrorism and warning against jumping to any conclusions that Muslims were at all involved in the attacks. Eventually the reality brakes through and the terrorist ties were obvious to the most casual of observers from the start and are finally admitted.

 

The lag time between attacks being perpetrated in Israel and their coming to the United States has thus far been measured in years if not decades granting Americans a reprieve from the more recent types of attacks used in Israel. Apparently this lag time has been shortened considerably with the terror attack at Ohio State University. The car ramming and following stabbing spree until shot by law enforcement officer November 28th brought that lag time down to the slimmest of measure as such are only the most recent of attacks even in Israel. This is not good news for Americans as there are no safe spaces from car rammings and stabbing attacks making everyone almost everywhere potentially under threat. The last couple of years in Israel had seen numerous car rammings which were all part of what was informally referred to as the Stabbing Intifada which has tailed off but not really completely come to an end. We all pray here in Israel, as you do in the United States, that this will be the only time you suffer from such an assault on your persons and communal safety; but we all know the unfortunate reality. Once a new form of terror attack is used it will continue until mitigating means are found for defeating such attacks. Here in Israel train stations and bus stops now have thick five centimeter diameter, cement filled posts a embedded deep into the pavement protecting the people from vehicle rammings. Stabbing attacks are only avoided through vigilance and a communal reaction making the attacker into the hunted as through mutual defense we are all safer.

 

Recently, though largely uncovered by Western media, Israel suffered yet another massive terror assault upon the entire nation through forest fires largely set by Arab arsonists. Neighboring nations, including Croatia, Greece, Jordan, Egypt, Italy, Russia and Turkey, responded with firefighting manpower and equipment for which we are grateful. The United States sent its “Supertanker” which is the largest firefighting aircraft in the world. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas sent a coalition of eight fire trucks and 40 firefighters which were used largely in Judea and Samaria as nowhere was immune from the horrors. In the single week during the final days before the rains came but whipped by the high winds accompanying seasonal weather changes Israel suffered one-thousand-seven-hundred-seventy-three separate fires which consumed approximately thirty-two-thousand acres with most located in the Haifa region. In some cases fires were set and once the fire-stations responded fires were set at the station houses themselves. Despite over a hundred people suffered injuries there were no fatalities this season. Over five-hundred homes were completely destroyed while tens of thousands were evacuated at some points. As of last counting there have been over thirty arrests of arsonists all of whom have proven to be Arab terrorists. Apart from the horrific damage to the parks and some neighborhoods the next most distressing reality of this past arson season was the repeated lack of coverage in the Western media once again the reality of “it’s only Israel” coming through loud and clear. There were no Israeli lives lost and, just as important if not more so, no terrorist arsonists shot resisting arrest or in the act of setting fires. Had a single arsonist been shot or otherwise injured, the cries of using disproportional and unnecessary force would have echoed from Rome to San Francisco and from Athens to Chicago and all stops inbetween. Instead, with lack of recriminations to be aired against Israel, the wave of arson was met with deafening silence.

 

The recent car ramming and stabbing attack does pose as a warning shot before the bow on the streets of America as it signaled a closing in the delay time between introduction of a newer terror wave in Israel and its application in the United States. We have already witnessed the use of ramming in Europe with the van being driven through a Nantes, France crowded market injuring almost a dozen and killing one victim plus the absolutely horrific Nice, France assault where a van filled with grenades and weapons was driven through a crowded 14th of July Bastille Day celebration killing eighty-four people, which included several children. The short delay from the wide use in Israel of car and vehicle rammings and stabbing attacks to their use across Europe and then to the United States bodes a troubling future for all three. Other places across Europe and Canada suffering ramming terror attacks have been but not limited to Glasgow International Airport attack in Scotland; Dijon, France; plus another attack with the Saint Jean sur Richelieu attack which occurred in Quebec, Canada on October 20, 2014. Now with the Ohio State University attack the United States has suffered its second vehicle ramming, the other being the SUV attack at the University of North Carolina. Then there were the greatest and most horrific rammings of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center Towers, Pentagon and the foiled attack which was brought down by the heroes of that day, the passengers on Flight 93 southeast of Pittsburgh.

 

Nice, France Van Terror Attack Carnage

 

The fear now should be from arson attacks, especially those set upwind a relatively short distance from built-up areas such as apartment complexes, business parks and housing developments. Also vulnerable would be deserted areas within some of America’s cities where a fire could be sparked that would then threaten downtown areas where urban renewal borders deserted areas yet to be rejuvenated. There should be some research performed to determine if previous fires may have been started as a form of terrorist attack as such arson attacks often target not only forest and scrublands but also target close-by developed regions. Israel has faced these firestorm attacks twice yearly, the spring winds and the fall winds which provide the necessary impetus for the use of directional winds to fan flames towards their real target, people. One can only pray that through vigilance and the formal fire-watch systems in place in the United States Park Systems stems any arson and other fires before they can rise and threaten people’s lives and property. Sufficient damage occurs already and needs little boost from intentional arson fires set with damage of people and structures as their actual target. Then there were the recent fires in Tennessee which are still being investigated by authorities.

 

But with the coming of the new administration of President Trump there will be a new attitude towards terrorist attacks and how they are treated by the FBI, Justice Department and other enforcement agencies within the government. No longer will the initial reports be that there is absolutely no indication that what appears to have been a terrorist attack actually is a terror attack. Rather any caution shown will still recognize that terror is always a potential cause and if it looks like terror, feels like terror and sounds like terror, then there will be the recognized likelihood that terror was a possibility. Under President Trump there is not to be the candy-coating of reality and the American people will be trusted with being given truth, often unvarnished truth as they will finally be seen and treated as grown-ups who can handle the truth. There will be no condescending hierarchy who claim that the American people cannot handle the truth and that only they, the elite have the capability to handle the truth and thus they claim they stand on the wall deciding what you deserve to know and what you must be protected against. We will have to wait and see which Americans are capable of handling the unvarnished, unsoftened, straight truth and which Americans will be demanding safe-spaces placed and trigger warnings with their newscasts. With a more open and honest evaluation of reality and the inclusion of the American people in the decision process by having an open debate, the United States will likely return taking their place as a leader of the free world. It will likely make most Americans pleased to be treated as the adults they presumably are, and we pray we have not misjudged our friends across the waves. It will be wonderful to have an ally back.

Iran the New Aryan Nation

 

Few of us were alive when the Persians disappeared and instead became Iranians all in a single day. In 1935, Reza Shah asked foreign delegates to use the term Iran, the historical name of the country before the Greek conquest where the name Persia was born. Surprisingly, the word chosen to represent the master race was chosen carefully by the Nazis and they found their new name from a nation of great age and lineage but not in use by that nation from where it originated. This master race predecessor had all the necessary requirements, it was the name of one of the oldest and most stable of empires and apparently they disappeared from history so the Nazis grabbed their name and used it as their term of the master race, the Aryan race. The former owners of this name when they fell before Alexander the Great, were renamed by the Greeks using the word for nation, Persica or Persis, which in time became Persia. All the great accomplishments of that early and great empire were written into the history books using the Greek name as the name stuck until, as noted above, 1935. This was an act of deference and also a demand of an alliance with Germany as the Persian leader, Reza Shah, ordered that all diplomats for Persia now, immediately and without explanation, begin using the ancient, pre-Greek racial name of Cyrus the Great’s tribe and the tribes of peoples he took to the edge of ruling the known world, Iran. This name derived from Middle Persian Ērān, Pahlavi ʼyrʼn, and in modern pronunciation, Iran or Aryan. The change of name can only raise questions about Persia/Iran and where they sided during World War II.

 

So let us discuss Iran, Nazis, Aryan, Persia and World War II. Initially the Shah declared neutrality; but when the British, who held ownership of the majority of the Iranian oil fields, the British grew ever more nervous over the German engineers and workers manning their oil interests and demanded the Shah send them back to Germany. The British concerns were that many of these Germans may be spies or could damage the oil fields. The history was unclear as to whether this demand was made in a threatening nature or as a polite favor requesting their preference for different workers but the one thing which was made obvious is the successive requests became demands but were all met with the same answer from the Shah declaring his neutrality while refusing to fire and send packing workers who had given him any reason for doing so other than they suspected there might be German Nazi spies amongst them who could sabotage the oil fields. The Shah having no cares and doubting these people would risk their jobs and his neutrality by any such foolish acts refused the British demands. This went through a couple of renditions before the British nerves and politics and the war took over and forced their hand. In September of 1941 the British and Soviets took control of Iran. They refer to it a wartime occupation and not any effort to compromise Iranian national freedom and that the entire necessity was due to the dangers that the Axis Powers were poised to move on Iran and the British and Soviets were simply protecting their investments and Iranian freedoms from the Nazi threats. The British and Soviets withdrew after the war but had changed the Shah rule for that of his more compliant son; otherwise the damage was minimal though there are those who claim the invasion shook the people’s faith in their rulers.

 

 

Reza Shah of Iran 1935

 

 

There have been rumors that the Reza Shah was in negotiations with the Nazis to provide the Third Reich with much needed petroleum for their war machine which was running drastically low and even marginalizing operations. The Nazis were desperate and had likely offered the Shah great riches and power and potentially the reemergence of Persian like power in the Middle East, possibly a similar set of promises as they had given to the Mufti of Jerusalem Haj Amin al-Husseini while he was living in Berlin to avoid the British forces who were poised to arrest him for allying with the Nazis. The British had much difficulty with different Arabs throughout World War II. The main thing to understand was that Iran actually was poised to assist the Nazis, allied with their cause and found a sympathy to their idea of an Aryan super race of perfected humans but the Iranian description might have varied from that of the Nazis who sought blond haired blue eyed men and women of above average height and physical fitness. The Iranians may have held for different qualities but they did believe in a pure Aryan race though theirs would be best represented in English as Ērān or ʼyrʼn.

Part of the above history shows there is a historic sense of grandeur and importance exuded by many Iranians which has been played to every extreme by the current rulers. The Islamist Ayatollahs take full use of this sense as well as a sense of entitlement and supremacy, especially when it comes to Israel and the United States. They have worked on that entitlement behavior to blame the United States and Israel, especially with the sanctions which the United States pioneered and joined by Europe to a pressure Iran into compliance and to explain a few things as objectively as possible. Considering I am a Jew living in Israel and as such have a bullseye emblazoned between my eyes makes me particularly sensitive to the fact that the Arab and Muslim nations and many of their peoples who sided with the Nazis but did not face the destructions and defeat as did the Nazis, never had those anti-Semitic views expunged. In the case of many of the Arab nations, they were exposed to the poisonous broadcasts by the Mufti of Jerusalem Haj Amin al-Husseini who had anti-Semitic leanings and blamed the Jews of the Holy Lands around Jerusalem for the poverty and what he viewed as miserable living conditions of his Arab peoples compared to the Jewish farmers and entrepreneurs and shop owners in Jerusalem many of which sold Jewish items needed in religious observances, marketed the produce, as did several Arab families who gained wealth, and serviced farm needs such as fertilizers and pesticides and finally had foreign contacts mostly in Europe but also across the Arab lands of MENA (Middle East and North Africa) and possibly even in the far east where the farmers could sell their harvests. The Mufti blamed the Jews for taking all of the economic pie and not leaving any wealth available to his Arab subjects thus forcing them into poverty. He never considered that they should improve their lot in life by working the lands or finding other means for earning a living instead of relying largely on the good graces of others who did produce to gift them charity, something he found demeaning and where he blessed Arabs who would give alms he always blamed the Jews, even those who might have given similarly or even greater amounts or percentages of their income, for being stingy and not granting the Arabs a greater share in their wealth. The one thing which has to be remembered is that nobody was become a millionaire working the Holy Lands in this era.

 

When the Mufti of Jerusalem Haj Amin al-Husseini fled Jerusalem fearing arrest by the British, who he also saw as favoring the Jews over the Arabs, not exactly an accurate appraisal as there may have been British who favored the Jews to an extent, British policy was either equally damning or anti-Semitic in its application on orders or preferences of the higher officers. The Mufti made broadcasts into the Arab lands with a very powerful directions broadcast tower spewing the Nazi supremacy and equating them with Arab and Muslim ideals of supremacy and equated Nazism and Islam in some unholy marriage of joining forces against the evil Jew who stole the food from Arab and Muslim mouths and refused to share and were enslaving the Arabs and Muslims in poverty by cruel and inhuman measures of attempted superiority born out of jealousy of the true Master Races, Nazis and Islamic, against the base and animalistic Jews. These broadcasts cast hatred of the Jews as the Jews selfishly stole all the wealth and held to it tightly were themes repeated by Imams as you preach to the masses basing your message on some of their ready beliefs as that is the path easiest to their attentions. So the message of Jewish hoarding became the legal tender on which much of the anti-Semitism was based and much of that was based on the Jews having stolen all the land from its rightful Arab, Muslim owners, the people in the Mosques for the sermons. This combinations drummed this hatred and the deceits such that many, nowhere near all, but a possible plurality bought into this message and it became their legal tender to claim the possessions of the Jews because they were only returning the lands and other wealth to its rightful owners.

 

 

Grand Ayatollahs Ruhollah Khomeini and Ali Khamenei

 

 

These alliances with the Nazis further poisoned the well against the Jews and many of the British chose not to intervene or actually harbored their own anti-Semitic leanings and thus their not opposing these beliefs only served to amplify their validity. This further amplified the latent anti-Semitic feelings, especially amongst the Arabs who were living in poverty and who were seeking a reason and the Jew selfishly stealing all the wealth and controlling the distribution of assets and their control of the British played heavily into that market. In Iran there was their neutrality which always appeared to favor the Germans as there were numerous German citizens working within Iran and the Shah had changed the name their nation was known by internationally to the Iranian Farsi word which meant Aryan, namely Iran, and this was often seen as tacit approval of the Nazi principles of the Master Race and the poignant hatred and casting of the Jews as an animalistic sub-human species which polluted the genetic superiority of the rest of the human race and as such needed to be extinguished. When Israel became a nation they soon afterwards enjoyed good relations with Iran of open friendship and embassies were exchanged and all the benefits which goes with such. All of this was shut down almost immediately after the revolution and the betrayal of the Shah by his former ally, the United States. President Jimmy Carter ‘understood’ the heart of the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in 1979 as President Carter saw him as a holy man and thus he must uphold Christian principles from the post-enlightenment period of modern Western thought.

 

The American President could not have been any more mistaken, much like the current American President who trusts Iran to hold to the limitations of the treaty he signed with them. The treaty itself is lenient and pro-Iranian in its make-up but likely does not suit the immediacy of the Ayatollahs drive for nuclear weapons with which to claim preeminence in the Arab and Muslim world and thus as the rightful leader of such in the conquest of the world. The Ayatollah likely see their ascendance to be the rightful leaders of the Muslim world and as such the ones who will bring the Ummah from predominant Sunni beliefs to almost entirely Shiite in their beliefs as Iran, as the titular leader of Shia Islam will have ascended unarguably the strongest of position and have gained dominance over Saudi Arabia and Egypt and as such gained the title as the next and only true claimant to Caliph. Should the Saudi Royal family refuse to basically kneel before the Ayatollah Khamenei, they may have earned Riyadh the initial test of the Iranian super weapon in their nuclear armed quest to gain the world. Any upset or obstruction to the Iranian claim and smooth path to world dominance will have a ready-made and golden diabolical reason, Israel as the Jew amongst the nations and the Jews world-wide as they will be cast as all serving Israel against the perfection of the World by the Ayatollahs. Israel will actually be spared initially as they are required to serve as the true source of any difficulties because the Grand Ayatollah is a position of ultimate perfection and a straight connection to Allah if ever such could exist. They would be assuming a similar position to Emperor and Pope Constantine the Great who was crowned Pope after he conquered most of Europe, ending the many squabbles and smaller wars, uniting all under his banner. Unfortunately for Europe all men die and when Constantine died, so went his empire.

How this will end? That, my friends and acquaintances, is the really big question. The things we know is that Iran will be at its weakest and most vulnerable and have given the world cause for alarm and a call for action right after they move on any nation whether directly or through terrorist proxies beyond their actions in Syria. What will be interesting is who allies with Iran and who starts to slide into the position of leaders of the opposition other than Saudi Arabia and possibly Egypt and other Sunni Arab nations. They would be uniting against both Shia Islam and the fact that Iran is of Persian lineage and thus not Arab and this also is an abomination to many Muslims, especially Arab Muslims. We know also that the Saudi oil fields have a majority Shiite population and could be the next war’s Sudetenland which Iran will claim as part of bringing all of Shia Islam under their rule which is what has already occurred for all intents and purposes in Iraq, Lebanon and Syria. Where else they will initially turn will be telling. We expect their first move will be to co-opt Pakistan through some alliance deal as the two Islamic nuclear powers with similar goals, though that is not entirely true. Iran could promise Pakistan that one of their first moves would be to subsume by means other than direct war possibly as a treaty with India, to gain them the lands which they and India have fought wars over and potentially some of north-western India where there is a large Muslim presence. All things will become fungible when Iran becomes a nuclear armed nation with a war chest of nuclear weapons and the will to use them. This has us thinking of Alice in Wonderland and the disappearing Cheshire Cat’s smile and Alice commenting that everything was becoming “Curiouser and curiouser!”

Beyond the Cusp

 

The Insanity Driving American Palestinian Policy

 

Secretary of State Kerry gave a blatantly erroneous, magnificently ignorant, critical targeting of a phantom problem and deliberately dishonest assessment of the driving motivation behind the current Arab violence against Israelis by stating publically placing the administrations bias plainly within the view of the media and those desirous of demonizing Israel at any cost when he claimed the Arabs were driven to violent distraction by the continued increase in Israeli building beyond the Green Line in the so-called settlements. Secretary of State Kerry was either deliberately fabricating out of the thin air the accusation that Israel has even permitted the construction of a deck or a porch, let alone any additional homes, apartments or other construction in the areas beyond the Green Line as Prime Minister Netanyahu has enforced meticulously the desired building freeze which President Obama demanded after his reelection as the necessary Israeli contribution if there were to be any hopes for reaching an eventual peace drawing onto the map of the Middle East a second state for Arabs to reside alongside Israel sharing in peace between the two people and mutually enforced security for both states between the Jordan River and Mediterranean Sea. This has been the chimerical summation which has been presented by the Obama administration despite their having full knowledge that such building had been terminated as demanded and Mahmoud Abbas refused to even meet with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu back in the first year of Obama’s Presidency and all construction has been suspended since President Obama’s reelection starting with his 2009 inauguration.

 

Meanwhile, the entire brain-trust employed by President Obama, Secretary of State Kerry and the rest of the advisors have all apparently neglected a few not so insignificant facts about Mahmoud Abbas actions, intents, recent statements and also his multifaceted program of incitement to violence and rewarding that selfsame violence. Mahmoud Abbas over the past twelve months has announced the dissolution of the Palestinian Authority and the establishment of Palestine claiming that he would be its titular head of state, made an alliance which merged Hamas with the PLO and thus his construct of Palestine, declared Jerusalem as the Capital City solely of his constructed state denying it as the Israeli Capital City and theoretically annexing all of west Jerusalem, declared the Oslo Accords dead and removing his constructs, all of them, from its limitations and its requirements on the Arab entities, worked with numerous European governments to establish Arab homes and communities in Area C which was reserved for Israel and forbidden to Arab construction, and began the Third Intifada which has also been called the Stabbing Intifada with an all-out campaign of incitement using all forms of media including but not limited to Facebook, multiple social media formats, radio, television, financial rewards, recent increase in honoring terrorists from the prior Intifadas, school lessons of incitement, releasing popular songs such as “Stab, Stab,” “Stab the Zionist and say God is great,” “Let the knives stab your enemy,” “Say hello to being a martyr,” and “Run Over, Run Over the Settler,” examples as depicted in the videos below.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But why allow some insignificant item such as the truth and reality impinge on your preconceived notions that the real problem comes from the overcrowding within many family homes and apartments in the Jewish cities and towns where as their children have married and had children since January 2009 when President Obama was reelected and sworn into office and the Israeli government of Prime Minister Netanyahu agreed to freeze all building beyond the Green Line causing this ever increasing overcrowding in many family homes as they are making do with empty promises that eventually the tenders which have been bid upon but frozen at that point so as to keep Netanyahu’s promise to Obama and Kerry yet they tend to scream foul every time bids for tenders are collected and a contract rewarded for if and when the building freeze is ever lifted. The building by Israel are the least damaging threat to peace and the formation of a permanent peace and that is where we need to address the reality and from that derive an honest and straightforward assessment of the entire situation from all aspects and not just seeking to support a decided view which condemns and vilifies Israel and through that the Jews in general. The murderous violence perpetrated by the Arabs, both Israeli citizens and members of terror groups Fatah, al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, Hamas and rumored to include Islamic State sent individuals to join in murdering Israelis with the hope of killing Jews. Below is a picture of the investigation and cleansing of the scene where an Israeli soldier and three others in Tel Aviv on October 8, 2015. Another difference between the Arabs treating of a place where one has been injured and the treatment by Israel in similar instances is the Arabs loiter and make a point to bring every reporter, camera and media to cover the situation for maximum coverage in Europe and the rest of the Western World while in Israel the family and victims are respected and the site investigated and then immediately cleansed as seen in picture below.

 

 

 

Since the introduction of the Oslo Accords in September of 1993 there has been one overriding occurrence which has been ignored by the United Nations, the European Union, and a host of leaders in Europe, the United States, the developed world and met with various shades of glee by the Arab and Muslim worlds. Every time when any leader of the United Nations, United States, the Quartet or the European Union and her member states decided to push for peace talks the program was sickenly the same story, Israel, Israel, Israel and Israel was forced to make dangerous concessions time after time while the Arabs were either given a free ride or were required to act nice. When the talks are resumed the Arab leaders starting with Yasser Arafat (master terrorist and inventor of plane hijacking, homicidal suicide bombers and numerous other forms of terror) and later taken to the present day by Holocaust denier Mahmoud Abbas simply attended the negotiations in a simple means to try and force the maximalist positions they could extract from the Israeli side before making a large disturbance denouncing any claims and statements that they had made even a single promise while assuring that the mediators were sure to record every compromise which were even discussed for Israel to make. This was the modus-operandi for every negotiation which was conducted until Israel had been backed to her last stand without compromising away vital requirements. Israel was convinced to make what proved to be her absolute greatest sacrifice by President George W. Bush, who was regarded as being Israel’s greatest friend to ever sit in the White House, all of Gaza and removing eight-thousand Israeli citizens as well as exhuming every Jewish grave for reinterring within Israel while also attempting to assist the transplanted Israelis after they lost their homes and often their businesses and everything they had owned suddenly in August, 2005. Even now there are those Israeli citizens turned refugees have yet to be repatriated and made whole and productive and some may never recover. The surrendered lands of Gaza were lost soon thereafter negating any promises made by the administration of George W. Bush and especially Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as Hamas took over Gaza after a few days of fighting as Abbas’s forces just had no fight within folding over June 10–15, 2007. All told, the Oslo Accords have cost Israel thousands upon thousands of lives lost and hundreds times that in lives ruined or inalterably torn asunder.

 

The reality as to why there has been no compromise reached has been due to the Arab leadership and their more fanatical Islamists demanding the complete eradication of the Jewish State of Israel. Abbas has stated that he desires his state of Palestine and the return of five-million Arabs into Israel making the Jews a minority placed into Dhimmitude all but enslaved to their Islamic “betters” and relegated to some hellish existence knowing that at any moment and the whim of any of their keepers they would be given the choice of conversion or death. This is the truth of the situation as the Israelis, and especially the Jews and all the people who are of non-Islamic religions also forced into the same fate. Eventually the Muslims who are of any sect other than the majority sect would also be forced into the same predicament. For some reason such a deal does not appeal to the Israeli Jews and many other minorities even including Muslims from other than the Sunni belief structures such as mainly Shiites. With the Oslo Accords now trashed by Abbas’s Fatah and Hamas united such that they are both now simply another group waiting for the correct time and situations to join the Islamic State, something not all that removed from Hamas in attitude and desires when facing the greater world. The reality in the Middle East and across North Africa (MENA) is that unless the Islamic State is defanged and made to appear powerless and ineffective against any other power, especially a non-Muslim power, they will continue to grow and eventually take over every last terror groups and Islamist Sharia State leaving only the Wahabbists of Saudi Arabia, the Shia of Iran and Israel left to oppose this self-anointed Caliphate which will have spread across the near and far reaches of MENA. Should the declarations of being the next Caliphate not be opposed by the free world while these forces of the Islamic State are simply a relatively small area when compared to their goals, then they will eventually grow and take command of the oil fields of Saudi, Kuwaiti, and other GCC oilfields and potentially also the oilfields of Iran followed by the Iranian nuclear weapons production sites and their scientists and knowledge. This would be catastrophic and by forcing Israel into weakness the world is simply tempting just such a fate. Israel as the Jewish State is the lynchpin which keeps a control over the forces of MENA breaking out full strength into Europe as Israel would pose a very credible military force posing too great a threat to permit to remain as a threat against the rear and hindering supply-lines. This is the crucial role played by Israel which both the United States and Europe appear willing to play without going forward. The lack of recognizing the crucial role Israel plays is why President Obama had been so cavalier regarding Israel willing to sacrifice Israel today. Islam is preparing to pose a threat directly into the heart of Europe and an anti-Semitic disease once again infecting many in Europe on a scale not witnessed since the beginning of World War II. This has been why many rumors have been floating about the Internet with claims of knowledge as to the sides being drawn bringing forth claims of the immediate start to World War III. Israel has been informed how each President had supported her more than all the previous administrations which have unfortunately proven to be false. Let us hope that Israel can survive the remainder of President Obama, his time in office and the mischief he could still be the cause.
