- When you come to think of it, there is much that Yasser
Arafat has in common with Adolf Hitler.
-
- The German dictator was determined to exterminate the
Jews of Europe, and he used his Hitler Youth organization to indoctrinate
German youth to hate and kill Jews. So that when he overran the countries
of Europe, he had a ready army of killers willing and able to carry out
his plan. And he went so far as to devote an enormous amount of construction
and rail transport to carry out his plan, even though it meant depriving
German soldiers supplies needed at the front.
-
- He managed to kill about 6 million Jews and in the process
brought total ruin to Germany. He committed suicide in a bunker in Berlin
as the Red Army closed in around him. With his death, the whole Nazi machine
of terror came crashing down in ruins.
-
- Yasser Arafat has devoted his entire political career
to one goal only: the destruction of Israel. When the Israelis foolishly
brought him from Tunis, installed him as leader of the Palestinian Authority
and armed his police force, it was tantamount to bringing a deadly cobra
into one's home.
-
- In complete violation of the Oslo Accords, Arafat proceeded
to indoctrinate Palestinian children to hate Israel and kill Jews. He managed
to conceal from the Israelis his ultimate aim to destroy them. Even when
he rejected the incredibly generous offer made by Prime Minister Ehud Barak
at Camp David, Israelis still could not believe that the ultimate aim of
the Palestinian Authority was the destruction of the Jewish state.
-
- Hitler had explained exactly what he intended to do in
"Mein Kampf." And Arafat made it clear what his goal was in what
he told Palestinians in Arabic and the messages he conveyed to children
in their textbooks. If the Israelis had read them, they would have realized
that Arafat was training his own version of Hitler Youth to kill them.
-
- The suicide bombers are Arafat's Hitler Youth in action.
They have finally awakened the Israelis to their peril. And the Israelis
are beginning to act. They must destroy the terrorist infrastructure which
Arafat and his Palestinian Nazis have created. That will require removing
the PA leaders, destroying their buildings and arresting all known and
suspected terrorists. Israel cannot do less and survive the terrorist onslaught.
-
- Like Hitler, Arafat is now holed up in his own bunker,
waiting for the end. The Israelis have said they don't want to kill him.
Hitler committed suicide. But suicide is not Arafat's style.
-
- He is bringing total ruin to the Palestinian entity,
but that doesn't seem to bother him. He sent children strapped with bombs
to do his dirty work. And they've done it. These gullible children were
promised heaven, but they've gone to hell for violating God's Commandment:
"Thou shalt not kill."
-
- Once the Israelis take over the Palestinian entity, they
must find individuals willing to create a new government that will accept
a peace with Israel. And if that is done, the Israelis must then insist
that Arab children be educated to love their neighbors and to shun terrorism.
-
- Another similarity between Arafat and Hitler is that
both men needed war in order to carry out their plans. Hitler started World
War II, during which he was able to exterminate Jews throughout Europe,
and Arafat needs a war against Israel by the other Arab states in order
to obliterate Israel. He knows that the Palestinians cannot destroy Israel
alone, and he expected that an Israeli attack against him would provoke
Arab nations to retaliate. But, to date, that strategy hasn't worked.
-
- Arafat has always believed that he held the trump cards
against Israel: the world liberal media, which is sympathetic to the plight
of the Palestinians; anti-Israel demonstrations in the world's capitals;
and the threat of a wider war against Israel waged by a united Arab front.
But because of Sept. 11, he can no longer count even on Saddam Hussein
coming to his rescue, because should Saddam lob a single missile against
Israel, that would give George Bush the green light to obliterate Saddam.
Checkmate!
-
- But the latest news is that President Bush is trying
to rescue Arafat from oblivion. Why? To appease the Arab states. As a terrorist,
Arafat can hardly be a partner for peace. So the conflict will continue
until there is a change of leadership among the Palestinians. ___
