I was gonna write something amusing about plumbing and how happy my sister will be the next time she visits, but I made the mistake of going to a few blog sites first. Go here to see a picture of one of those cruel oppressive Israelis that a brave Palestinian took out. Every time someone mentions a Palestinian state this picture should be shown. Barbarians do not deserve a state.
Now, go read Lileks on the quality of education our college students are getting. This is the result of political correctness, multiculterism, and moral relativism. I used to always think it was funny that if the communist sympathizers, back in the 50's and 60's got their way, and we went communist, they would lose their freedom of speech. Just like I think socialists like Ted Turner and the Hollywood bunch aren't aware that if we did go socialist, they would lose all their money. Wait a minute!! I didn't mean that type of socialism!! Give me my money back.
Now the 'peace process'. I'm so bloody tired of hearing that phrase over and over again. Hello! George, Colin, anyone home? The Palestinians do not want peace. They have made no secret of that. None. Nada. Zilch. Zippo. I bet Churchill probably got just as tired of hearing 'Peace in our time' back in the 30's. There is no freaking 'peace process'!!!! George and Colin, go to the blackboard and write 'There is no peace process' 1000 times. Now write 'Arafat is a cold blooded killer 1000 times'.
But if the Israelis would only leave the occupied territories the violence would stop. Whine. Whine. Whine. The violence will only stop when one of the following conditions is met:
1. All the Israelis are killed or driven out of the Middle East (Arafat's and the rest of the Arab world's choice)
2. The Palestinians are totally defeated and shown that violence will not get them a state. Not now. Not tomorrow. Never. (apparently no one's choice)
Since only intelligent folks, like those of us in the blogosphere, seem to realize that choice number 2 would actually entail less death and destruction, and the West is consumed with the 'peace process' we may as well kiss Israel goodbye. What the hell, they're only Jews, anyway.
I don't know much about psychology. (I took Psych 101, but that was only 'cause I had to take a social science course and that and Sociology 101 were the two easiest courses to take.) It seems to me, we seem to suffer from transference. That might not be the right term, but I'll describe what I mean. We transfer our own sense of ideals onto our enemies. For example, during the Iran hostage crisis, Jimmy 'the wimp' Carter insisted on treating the Iranians as rational beings and thought diplomacy would work. Only when Reagan was elected, and everyone thought he was a mad cowboy, did the Iranians release the hostages. They were afraid of him.
The same thing has happened to the United States over the last twenty years. We want people to love us. I mean, we're the good guys in white hats. We respect all cultures, even those that believe in stoning, enslaving women, cutting off hands and innocuous stuff like that. Islam is a religion of peace. And if you don't believe that, we'll kill you.
The Arabs (and the Palestinans are Arabs) only understand and respect force. Jesus, read the Koran! (No I was not telling Jesus to read the Koran). Arafat has made no secret of his plans. The only reason he would agree to any type of peace was to buy time to get more weapons into the West Bank and Gaza. His main goal is the destruction of Israel. He has said it over and over. George, Colin, clean the shit out of your ears!
I just read over at MCJ that even little Dickie Gephart gets it. And like Christopher Johnson (Gephardt was my congressman when I lived in St. Louis and here in Dunwoody I have Cynthia McKinney. Life is really so unfair!), I can also count on one hand the amount of times I've agreed with Gephardt over the last twenty years.
I'd like to write something more intelligent and insightful, but why bother when, as usual, Steven Den Beste does it so much better.
What I am going to say is not very polically correct. I'm not politically correct and I'm so sick of that crap anyway. I hate Yasser Arafat. I despise Yasser Arafat. Anyone who could instill so much hatred into a civilization should be hunted down and killed like the dog he is.
I hate the Arabs and Islamists who think killing little children, pregnant women, and old people is glorious. I am an atheist, but at times like these I pray (non sequiter) that there is a God so that animals like these and the Muslim clerics who endorse the killing of innocents will roast in hell.
I have no more words. Look at the little girl again and tell me why we are talking about a 'peace process'. Tell me why Yasser Arafat is still alive.
