Jews should simply stop trying to explain to the world their rights to build and live in all parts of Eretz Israel and just do it. Ignore the world's haranguing and quietly continue to build.
Column One: Netanyahu's perilous statecraftContinue
Aug. 20, 2009
Caroline Glick , THE JERUSALEM POST
This week we discovered that we have been deceived. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's principled rejection of US President Barack Obama's bigoted demand that Israel bar Jews from building new homes and expanding existing ones in Judea and Samaria does not reflect his actual policy.
Construction and Housing Minister Ariel Attias let the cat out of the bag.
Attias said that the government has been barring Jews from building in the areas since it took office four months ago, in the hopes that by preemptively capitulating to US demands, the US will treat Israel better.
And that's not all. Today Netanyahu is reportedly working in earnest to reach a deal with the Obama administration that would formalize the government's effective construction ban through 2010. Netanyahu is set to finalize such a deal at his meeting with Obama's Middle East envoy George Mitchell in London on Wednesday.
Unfortunately, far from treating Israel better as a result of Netanyahu's willingness to capitulate on the fundamental right of Jews to live and build homes in the land of Israel, the Obama administration is planning to pocket Israel's concession and then up the ante. Administration officials have stated that their next move will be to set a date for a new international Middle East peace conference that Obama will chair. There, Israel will be isolated and relentlessly attacked as the US, the Arabs, the Europeans, the UN and the Russians all gang up on our representatives and demand that Israel accept the so-called "Arab peace plan."
That deceptively named plan, which Obama has all but adopted as his own, involves Israel committing national suicide in exchange for nothing. The Arab plan - formerly the "Saudi Plan," and before that, the Tom Friedman "stick it to Israel 'peace' plan" - calls for Israel to retreat to the indefensible 1949 armistice lines and expel hundreds of thousands of Jews from their homes in Judea, Samaria, Jerusalem and the Golan Heights. It also involves Israel agreeing to cease being a Jewish state by accepting millions of foreign, hostile Arabs as citizens within its truncated borders.
The day an Israeli government accepts the plan - which again will form the basis of the Obama "peace conference" - is the day that the State of Israel signs its own death warrant.

You are the most delusional person I have ever encountered. No, Jews can't simply "just do it". This is everybody's world, and you cannot invade another's home and call it your own. It's because of people like you that our world is crumbling. You add fuel to hate, and I do hope one day karma comes back to bring all of that hate back upon yourself.
Have a nice life, but try to live with without trying to destroy the right of others to do the same.
ISRAEL IS THE HOME OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE! NOT SOMEONE ELSES'S. You are the delusional one and it is because of people like you, leftist enablers of islamic jihadis and terrorists that is causing this world to crumble. You add fuel to hate, the hatred that muslims have for everybody else and that apologists like you continuously excuse. I hope karma comes back to you and that one day you are forced to face the hatred of islam as the Jews in Israel, Christians living under islamic rule and women who are being forced to face the barbarity and cruelty of islam on a daily basis.
It is muslims who are the ones trying to destroy the rights of Jews and others to live their lives. You are a typical ignorant leftist who is blind to this reality.
Okay, if you want to resort to using capslocks to emphasize your point, I'll follow suit.
ISRAEL NEVER EXISTED UNTIL IT WAS FORMED ON THE LAND OF ANOTHER PEOPLE, WHICH WAS ACCEPTABLE BECAUSE THE JEWS DID INDEED DESERVE THEIR OWN HOMELAND. WHAT ISN'T ACCEPTABLE IS THE FACT THAT THEY WENT ON TO OCCUPY AND CONQUER 77% OF LAND THAT WAS DESIGNATED AS PALESTINIAN LAND BY THE UN ITSELF. GO SEARCH UP THE UNITED NATION'S RECORDED HISTORY ON THIS MATTER IF YOU FIND MY WORD NOT TO BE GOOD ENOUGH.
Now, enough of that. For someone such as yourself that manages to stereotype an entire group of people for the actions of a member or many members of that group, you have some nerve telling me I had fuel to hate.
Who is excusing hatred? I certainly don't. Suicide bombers and those who kill others are not excused by me nor by any other member of this world that has a heart. Clearly, your heart is missing if you're able to condone the occupation of Gaza by Israeli forces, the murder of families in front of children, the babies who are shot strategically in the heads by Israeli soldiers. Do you know the definition of a terrorist? It's someone who causes terror. Like the terror faced by every family in Gaza when the Israeli soldiers point guns in their faces while they walk to the market to buy their food. Like the terror faced by the children in Gaza as they watch their fathers taken away and shot point-blank for throwing stones at Israeli tanks. How much of a threat is a stone that you must be shot for it? THAT is terror.
How about we re-enact a scenario, shall we? You're a 5 year-old boy, and I'm coming into your house, pushing you into a corner, killing your family in front of your eyes, destroying your home, burning your toys, and laughing in your face while I do it. Then, when you respond with a punch with your tiny fist that has no impact on me whatsoever, I shoot you with my M16 in the head and the world praises me for "subduing the terrorist."
I never said Israel should not exist. They have the right to exist, as does Palestine. They have the right to exist without occupying the land and homes of the Palestinians, without instilling terror in the Muslims and Arabs using the pretense of "Islamic Jihadists" and "Terrorists" and "Leftist Enablers" to quiet anyone who opposes this blatant violation of an entire group's human rights.
You, LEL, are the typical ignorant that is blind to the reality of the real world, blinded by your Zionist beliefs that uses anti-Semitism as a shield for your own inhumanity in Palestine. Anti-Israeli inhumanity is not Anti-Semitism, Pro-Palestine is not Anti-Semitism. Zionism, however, is Anti-Peace.
No sovereign nation of palestine ever existed in history. The city of Jerusalem was never the capital of any muslim state nor is it mentioned in the koran. The Jews are not occupying anyone else's land. The land of Israel has been Jewish for 3500 years. It is the birthplace of the Jewish people. Anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism because it denies the Jews and only the Jews the right to their own homeland. Nothing more needs to be said.
Instilling terror in the muslims and arabs? That's a laugh and ironic that you would use that phrase. The muslim arabs are the ones committing terrorism and not only against Israelis.
BTW, Israel is no longer in Gaza. hamas runs it and is terrorizing its own people.
You are a typical leftist with your historical revisionism.
Israel is no longer in Gaza? What the hell are you talking about? Just because they formally claim that they have withdrawn from the region doesn't mean they legitimately have. Israel still controls Gaza, it's roadblocks, it's blockades to food and shelter, and if you give me the kind of response about how Israel is not doing so, then you are the delusional one. The United Nations Human Rights Commission has released numerous reports to the Security Council regarding the continuation of the Gaza Occupation despite formal initiative for Israel to have withdrawn. Don't give me the political bull about how Israel is out of Gaza, because the Palestinians living under their control would tell you different. Hamas is not running Gaza, my dear, that is why this struggle continues. And that is not to say I support Hamas, but I certainly defend their right to defend themselves against the cruelty of the Israeli Soldiers.
I find it ironic that you manage to call Muslims terrorists so consistently. Yes, there are terrorist groups that are Muslim, as there are NUMEROUS terrorist groups that are NOT Muslim and are located all over the world. I have nothing against your views because everyone has the right to their own opinion, but your attacking an entire group of people so unjustly is what angers me.
What to me is a laugh and ironic is that you had nothing to say back to what I said regarding the suffering of those in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli soldiers, because clearly you have no justification for it. Or maybe you have an opinion on the 13-year-old boy that was caught throwing stones at the Israeli tanks and was strapped as a human shield to that very Israeli tank.
It's time for everyone to realize that this conflict is no longer simply a conflict, it's escalating to a point of no return where everyone is suffering. And it is because of people like you who refuse to budge their opinions to understand and have compassion for the circumstances others are in that nothing improves.
Nothing more needs to be said.
Also, anti-Zionism is a sentiment shared by numerous Jewish communities in North America as well. Anti-Zionism is not against the Jewish religion in any way, it is against the extermination of the Palestinian people from the very same area for the purpose of establishing a Jewish homeland. You can't build a paradise, as Israel is supposed to be, on the blood of the murdered Palestinians.
So no, anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism.
Anti-Zionism denies the right of the Jewish people to their homeland, to self-determination. So, yes anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism. 'Nuff said.
The UN is controlled by the block of Arab and muslim nations. Nothing they report about Israel has any credibility.
The suffering in Gaza is solely at the hands of hamas.
Okay, and what you Zionists have reported from Israel is the only credible source of information.
You are a stubborn, brainwashed and unintelligent person with no ability to present any sort of reasonable argument or to even present your own opinion without putting your own foot in your mouth and sounding like a moron.
"'Nuff said?"
Sweetie, do you think you're cool? SOrry love, you sound like 5-year-old. Or maybe you are a 5-year-old...
Go back and preach your conspiracy theories to someone who cares. I think I've given your site more hits and more activity in this past day than it's had since you first made it.
Good luck in life, I doubt you'll get very far.
Peace.
(Or maybe you're against that too.)
"You are a stubborn, brainwashed and unintelligent person with no ability to present any sort of reasonable argument or to even present your own opinion without putting your own foot in your mouth and sounding like a moron"
..............................................................................
This describes yourself, nitwit. The only conspiracy theories as well as blood libels come from your side.
Your twisted idea of "peace"; which is surrendering land to muslim terrorists to create another islamic terror state, while undermining the security and threatening the existence of a free, democratic Israel, is not something that any sane, moral person would go along with.
"SOrry love",
.......................
I take it you are British. Well that explains your distorted view of the Mideast. I'm sure you get it from reading the Guardian, Pilger or Fisk. You need only to take a look at what muslims are doing to your own country to understand what Israel has been up against all of these years.
Sorry Queen know-it-all, but you're absolutely wrong. No, I am not British, but brilliant attempt at deducing skills, Sherlock.
I won't bother replying after this because where I've been presenting nothing but facts upon facts, you've been refuting them with "the UN is run by terrorist Muslims who are taking over the world! OH NO!"
Grow up, and watch who you're calling a nitwit. What if I know some Muslims and they come to bomb you?
Moron.
And please, try forming your own coherent sentences and not simply playing off on everything that I say. In this "discussion", if you can call it that, all I've been hearing from you is something along the lines of "I know you are but what am I?"
Grow up and stop trying to spread your hate. Clearly no one is listening to your inane rambles, and I apologize for even trying to reason with you.
But again, I commend you on your amazing ability to ignore everything I said about the inhumane actions of the Israeli soldiers that have indeed been proven and reported by Israeli news mediums. I sincerely hope you don't tell me those are also run by Arab Muslims.
"Grow up, and watch who you're calling a nitwit. What if I know some Muslims and they come to bomb you?"
.................................................................................
But why would such a peaceful religion do something so inhuman?
You deny the UN is controlled by the powerful block of islamic and arab nations? You mean to tell me that an institution which has the world's most vicious human rights violators sitting on its human rights counsel should be taken seriously as a defender of human rights and that it's conclusions about Israel should be taken at face value?
Look, you are a repugnant creature, a supporter of terrorism. You have no facts, only parroting muslim and radical left propaganda. Those "facts" you proclaim about the Israeli army come from groups who have been discredited do to receiving money from saudi arabia and headed by an individual who praised the Munich massacre. You cannot be reasoned with because you are a typical arrogant, leftist who believes that everyone who disagrees with you is ignorant and uninformed, never considering that it is yourself who could possibly be the one uninformed. This is why you and your ilk are contemptible. This is the same liberal attitude which believes that you are more capable of running the lives of Americans then we ourselves are as individuals.
Frankly I'm bored with your crap.
And how many times have blood libels against Israel, from the Jenin "massacre" to mohamed al dura and the earlier allegations about Gaza have been proven to be hoaxes and yet nitwits like yourself still believe every subsequent allegation that comes along without skepticism. Every time something is discredited, another one simply springs up knowing that the western leftist media will report it without question and leftists like yourself will lap it up. This is the pattern of Israel's enemies.
"Grow up, and watch who you're calling a nitwit. What if I know some Muslims and they come to bomb you?"
I believe he or she was being sarcastic.
Regardless, a supporter of Islam is not a supporter of terrorism and it is you who is calling all who disagree with you ignorant and uninformed.
Just my two cents
I know that person was being sarcastic and so was I when I said "but why would such a peaceful religion do something so inhuman", since of course we know islam is not a peaceful religion.
Since the doctrine of islam is to force others into submission and wage jihad until the entire world is under one islamic caliphate, I would say that support for islam indeed amounts to support for terrorism, whether the person defending islam realizes it or not. You obviously are not very informed about islam.
Where are you getting your information on Islam anyways? the doctrine of Islam is not evangelical, and is open for interpretation. I live in a Muslim community in an Islamic state, so I think I am informed about Islam a tad more than you.
Where am I getting my information? Simply by observing the actual behavior of muslims that can be read in news stories from around the world on a daily basis; honor killings, female genital mutilation, persecution and murder of Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, appostates etc., beheadings, stonings, floggings. Though I suppose I shouldn't believe my own eyes and ears.
I've been looking around the internet and only found a way for the previous iPhone. But what about the new one?
