President Bush has, for whatever reason at this point in his second term, decided that it is his job to somehow wrangle “peace” between Israel, a state that actually exists, and so-called “Palestinians,” a “people” without a state — a state that doesn’t exist.
I should also care to mention: “Palestinians,” a people that their fellow Middle Easterners have no interest whatsoever in assisting, in any way, in terms of sacrifice or sharing. Except with guns, bombs, bullets, rockets. But assist “Palestinians” by providing them a portion of their own country? Providing just a bit of land to their brethren? Their own flesh and blood?
No, absolutely not, say Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Yemen. They all say no.
President George Bush is moving full-speed ahead with his Annapolis Road Map plan to have a Palestinian state with east Jerusalem as its capital before he leaves office.
However, this plan has become corrupted by Saudi Arabia and other fundamentalist Islamic forces into a plan to divide Jerusalem and make east Jerusalem – the home of Christianity – the capital of a Palestinian state and force Israel to return all lands reclaimed in 1967. Former prime minister Ariel Sharon asked to include 14 amendments to the plan. Then-secretary of state Colon Powell refused to include any. On January 3, 2007 Bush urged Israel to honor its commitments under the Road Map to remove West Bank settlements.
I’ve written about this on numerous prior occasions:
Inviting the “Palestinians” into Israel’s back yard is the same as inviting three or four rapists into the empty fourth bedroom of your own home — you know, the bedroom right next to your two 16-year-old daughters.
Allow me to be remarkably blunt for the next few paragraphs:
You could give all of Jerusalem to the Palestinians, and it wouldn’t be enough;
You could give all of the West Bank and Gaza to the Palestinians and it wouldn’t be enough;
You could chop off more land from Israel and give it to the Palestinians and it wouldn’t be enough;
What would be “enough”?
The complete, repeat, complete eradication of Israel and the death of every Jew in, first, the Middle East, then the world. Following that, the eradication of every Western Culture and death to every infidel refusing to convert to Islam.
Then, once the world were entirely Islamic, Muslims would fall upon each other in a bloodthirsty attempt to kill those who don’t believe in various Sunni, Shia and other sects.
Even that would not be enough.
There will NEVER be peace in any Islamic country. EVER. It is because Islam is ruled by barbaric, nomadic, tribal men whose only goal is power and the saving, at all costs, of what the Japanese commonly term “face.” The only peace to be achieved under Islam is that which is acquired at the point of a sword, an AK-47, and by a dictator as ruthless (or moreso) as Saddam Hussein.
When will Western Cultures finally realize: you cannot reason with ignorant, barbaric cultures and religions? Everyone does not think as do Westerners.
Israel INVITED the monsters into their back yard when they acquiesced to so-called Palestinians. And what we see in the Middle East, here, now, and in Europe, is PRECISELY what we shall get in the United States if we continue to “look aside,” in terms of political correctness, and tolerate Muslims and Middle Eastern culture on our shores. Increasingly aggressive, increasingly hostile, increasingly intolerant, don’t be surprised when small enclaves of Sharia Law (Islamberg, for example) spring up across the nation. If we don’t FIGHT, and NOW, for our country, we are in fact doomed.
So America hangs Israel out to dry at Annapolis, with a follow up visit by President Bush to Israel in January 2008 in an attempt to push forward the birth of a terrorist state and now Israel will have to shoulder the fight against Iran alone.
America may talk the talk but mark my words when the Iranian nuclear program is taken out it will be with missiles that proudly wear a Star of David not Old Glory.
Israel needs to look at our relationship with America with a new honest assessment, about who are our real friends.
This Middle East Plan is wrong, just plain wrong. It won’t work. It hasn’t worked for thousands of years. Appeasing thugs never works. I shake my head in thinking that our “leaders” could be this thick — and it smacks of fourth-quarter “legacy making.”

P.S.
Based on the speech given in Jerusalem, Israel today by President Bush where the President stated that the Palestinians deserve to have a Palestinian state:
I think America should support returning Germany to the rule of the Nazi party.
If murdering Jewish women and children as the Palestinians have done for 100 years qualifies a people to have a state, then of course the Nazi’s deserve a state.
Also President Bush stated that the Palestinian state must have contiguous borders. In order to achieve this, Israel could not be a contiguous state. The connection from Gaza to Judea and Samaria — the location of the terrorist state called Palestine would cut Israel in two.
May G-D judge President Bush in this world and the world to come for his actions against the Jewish people.
I understand that a politician has to try, but after repeated failures at this you would think that someone would wise up and give up.
We have all left out one very important word…

It’s an excellent post, BZ. I especially like this example: “Inviting the “Palestinians” into Israel’s back yard is the same as inviting three or four rapists into the empty fourth bedroom of your own home — you know, the bedroom right next to your two 16-year-old daughters.
Why can’t everyone see that?
As Shoprat said, “he has to try…” but I think he’s already done more than enough “trying.” It’s past time for America to stand up for Israel. With friends like us, who needs enemies? Contemplating what will happen if we should be unfortunate enough to have a Democrat for a president in 08 is almost too much to bear!
I have to agree with you on this BZ. I am disapointed. THere is nothing wrong with the innate desire for peace over there. Heck, we all want that, conservative and DEMORAT. I will pray for peace, however I think it is mindless to assume the Palestinians will desire peace. THey want the WHOLE SHABAANG, and kick the Jews completely out.
Off the subject a bit if you don’t mind. :~)
If you ever visit Joel Rosenberg’s blog he has some great info about what prophecy says in the Bible about this. It is cool if you don’t get into reading about this stuff, but it is interesting how a lot of prophecy has come to pass and there is much more to happen that seems to be coming to fruition over there, not to mention Russia and Iran coming together. Joel seems to have his head on straight, so he isn’t a whacko interpreting prophecy or anything.
Joel says there is nothing in the Bible that says there will be true peace over there except in Daniel 9where it says there will basically be a peace treaty, but it will be phony and won’t last long. We have seen that over and over with these different treaties that the Isralie’s agree to and the Arabs break.
Agree with ya 100%, Bush is just lookin for a legacy, and don’t seem to mind how many Jews it costs.
Ranando: as in the Israeli settlements have to be demolished.
Shoprat & Gayle: okay, there can be “try,” but what makes anyone think that a peace can be brokered by a middleman thousands of miles away between Israel and an element (NOT the “Palestinians” — it’s ALL of the Islamic Middle East) that wants nothing more than for Israel and all Jews to be GONE?
Rivka: it’s not about peace; under Clinton, Israel offered up much of Israel’s land for “Palestine,” but Yassar Arafat REFUSED the deal, instead demanding MORE land in 1999. In my view, it’s about being realistic and knowing what your enemy really desires. And yes, I’ve been to Rosenberg’s site and I have ALL of his excellent books — he’s an excellent fiction author, one I highly recommend. It is, we must ALL realize, Islam’s JOB to LIE and DECEIVE all the Infidels.
Mark: sadder still, Olmert is abiding by these ridiculous concessions!

The sad thing to me is a majority of Israelis are up for this.
We all know that having a Palestine will mean having a lawless country that will continue to sponsor terrorism.
This is like making two enemies out of one ally.
Ranando: as in the Israeli settlements have to be demolished.
No, that’s not what I meant…
Maybe Israel should just slow down a little with building settlements outside their borders. I know that most US Presidents for the past 50 years have asked them to do so.
Just Saying.
Personally, I think Israel needs to tell Bush to butt the hell OUT of their affairs and then go about the business of killing every Palestinian they can take a shot at, man, woman and child, just wipe the bastards out and be done with it…
Just sayin’…
Lets see… 1948, two groups get to make a State for themselves. One can do it!
The other?
I have had it with the crying of Palestinians: if they want a State, then they can form one and police yourselves.
Excuse me for stating the obvious, but they can’t even figure out how to rule themselves and get a competent dictator in place. More correctly: no dictator wants to try and rule the bunch.
The era of holding a grievance for centuries expired in 1648. Civilized people understand the rule of law, law of nations and actually being able to control themselves. If you can’t do those things there is no how, no way you can sustain a Nation. It cannot be ‘given to you’: you must make it yourselves.
If they ‘want a State’ we have no business calling officials from Palestine ‘President’ or ‘Minister’, as those reflect the rule of law and a system of government which is lacking in the Palestinian territories.
Walls make great neighbors.
President Bush can go fish on this topic as he has come to the exact same position as Jimmy Carter, just in more time and without Arafat’s butt to kiss anymore.
No one is stopping Palestinians from making a States.
Except themselves.
If Bush manages to achieve peace in the middle east, would that make him the anti-Christ? biblically speaking, it would.
I do think Middle East peace can be achieved… When the Islamic radicals are exterminated, and the Moderates (if there are any left) realize their religion will not be shoved down the throats of others. And others will cut their f*&& heads off if they try.
Unfortunately our PC society will not call it like it is and leads everyone to believe there can be “Dialog” with Murderers and thugs.
terrorism is big business for Palestinians, what the hell do you expect them to do? quit the best paying job (terrorism) and go to work at Mc Donald’s? terrorism made Arafat a multi-billionaire, and it makes the PA billions now, every time they kill a few jewis schookids the Jews, Americans, and Europeans pay them gobs of money to be quiet, then the Saudi’s, Iranians, and syrians pay them to act-up again. they have the best racket in town!
