LaLa
Land! Where are their Voices?
We, who live in the land of
Hollywood or rather, "La La Land," seem to do everything a little
grander than the norm. Our benefits are filled with dubious
celebrities. Most of them have no idea which charity they are
allegedly supporting. In reality their publicists arrange for them
to show up, quite often just to receive an “honor.” This way,
they can be assured of having national press coverage of the
event, as well as driving away in their fancy limos with a plaque
in hand; another trophy to put on the wall for all to see, another
enhancement to their self esteem. I can name several who, once the
camera is gone, want nothing more to do with the charity they are
supposedly representing.
They absolutely love whales, the environment, their Jags, nannies,
botox and their leftist causes. Some of the Jewish stars whom I
have met actually kept their original names. Most of them don’t
have a clue what the word “Jewish” actually means. They really
believe that once the area of Gaza was cleared of a group that we
had been brain-washed for years into thinking were interlopers or
“settlers” in Gaza, the “Palestinians” would go about printing
their own currency and stamps and be on their way to their own
peaceful country. Their "friends," Hamas now wants a free market?
Maybe it's time to tell them that if they can't grasp the concept
of freedom of expression and speech without having heads and hands
cut off, they can hardly be ready for the "perks” that come along
with democracy. Turkey and Russia are meeting with the Arab
terrorists. Don’t both of these countries have their hands full
with Muslin rebels? I remember that not so long ago Muslims were
using Russian school children for target practice. And now, Putin
invites them for tea! When is the next infusion of EU, US and
Israeli money due to keep the PA government running? Or rather,
the supply lines for weapons and terrorism running.
We seem to be amazed that the answer to changing the nature of
these alligators who call themselves Palestinians isn’t to throw
them more meat. Frankly, as bad as I see the present leadership in
Israel, I am more afraid of the direction we are being led. There
appears to be a severe vacuum of leadership in both Israel and the
US. I watched George Bush during his press conference say:
“These are cold blooded murderers who want to destroy America. You
cannot reason with them. You have to destroy them.” Then, he
approves turning over security control of six major American
seaports to an Arab company based out of United Arab Emirates. Do
you see anything wrong with this picture? Obviously former
President Jimmy Carter doesn't as he on record saying how upset he
is over the negative response...Did I mention that I am from
Georgia and he was the worst governor that we ever had?
While the media has been preoccupied with the break-up of Britney
Spears and the Chaney buckshot that went astray, this
administration has approved a plan for major seaports of the
United States, probably one of the most vulnerable targets for
terrorism, to be turned over to a state owned company of the
United Arab Emirates. That would make them privy to matters of
national security concerning the way we protect our ports. And
this, folks, is who Israel is supposed to be taking direction from
in the Road map to Hell? Yet, this is the same man who,
while promoting his “War on Terror,” refuses to close our borders
to illegal, potentially dangerous aliens who are pouring into the
US via Canada and Mexico. He's even welcoming another 25,000 Saudi
"student's in the coming year. He discourages any plan to build
hybrid cars. Frankly, as bad as I see the present leadership in
Israel, I fear for the direction we, in the US, are being led even
more. Now, however, the Bush administration has gone on
record and rebuffed criticism about the dangers of the 6.8 billion
dollar sale that gives his good friends, the Arabs, control over
security operations at six major American ports. I feel ever so
much better…. Or I would feel better if we could be assured that
government leadership in the US and Israel recognized the dangers
currently confronting the democratic, civilized, free world and
were really paying close attention to national security.
Our fellow Jews in Hollywood don't understand that throwing more
of our tax dollars at the problem is simply not working. I never
had a doubt in the world about what is now occurring. A year ago,
I wrote that the minute the Jews left Gaza chaos would rein
supreme and the Arabs would have an instant base from which to
attack Israel. Isn’t that exactly what has happened?
Unfortunately, the world seems to have taken it in stride. And,
those in "the industry" continue to think just giving them a 'hug'
will solve everything. I speak to so many groups and here are some
of the questions they ask me: "Who in Hollywood is supporting
Israel." "Name the stars who have no problem adding to their
'benefit schedule” participation in a rally for Israel.” “Who out
there is protesting the Nazi behavior that our fathers witnessed
in Nazi Germany.” Unfortunately, I can't think of any. And the few
that I can, aren't even Jewish.
I am furious about the fact that out of a culture of 1.4billion
people, I can't find fifty who are vocal in their opposition to
the barbaric behavior of their Islamic brothers and sisters and
are publicly stating that these fanatics don't represent them.
But, what about our own? I am tired of looking at raging
scenes in our newspapers and on our television of hundreds of
thousands of Islamic killers burning, looting and destroying
everything in sight. I am both appalled and delighted that these
fanatics, who have no humor in their souls, are killing one
another over cartoons! Peace? Not in my lifetime. The Muslims
don’t want the democracy that we are offering. They live to sing
"death to the Jews" all day... every day. No matter how many
pieces of land Israel gives away there will never be acceptance of
the Jewish state. The Hollywood crowd doesn't get it. I used to
think that this sign of hostility was peculiar only to the Middle
East, but now I know that a Jewish state is not wanted anywhere,
maybe not even by some Jewish Americans. So many of the Hollywood
crowd, in their quest to be politically correct, have lost sight
of the fact that they are Jewish. Hamas has only one myopic goal
and that is the eradication of Israel, one slice at a time. Kill
Jews, destroy Israel. This is what they want and militant Islamism
demands it. The Saturday people are ho-hum now. The Sunday people
are next and the Muslims are burning down churches with glee. This
crazed culture of death is speeding up their ‘final plan’ and they
are hell-bent on destroying anyone, from any culture and country,
that isn’t “them.” So, I wonder. Who benefits from the public
relations bounty gained by the constant concessions of the Israeli
people? My goodness, could the undeserving beneficiaries of the
“aid” to the Middle East be the very same ones who have over
eleven billion dollars in hidden Swiss bank accounts or in Shua
Arafat’s shopping bag in Paris? Are those the primary
beneficiaries cashing the checks from our grandiose giving?
Helping the needy and supporting charitable causes is admirable.
However, my momma, Queen Mollie, used to tell me, “He who tends
everybody else’s garden, gets weeds in their own!” Besides, as
they like to think in the land of the stars, “Is it tax
deductible?” Charity really does begin at home….Besides, it would
give the folks here in La La Land an excuse to give a benefit and
go home with a plaque. And,
maybe President Bush could give one of his Arab Kings another hug
and walk into the sunset once again holding hands.
Eons
ago, when I was going through a divorce, people would come to me
and say, “Poor thing, I know how you feel” And I’d think, “No, you
don’t.” There are some feelings that, unless mutually
experienced, you just cannot comprehend. The death of a
family dog, for instance, means nothing to a friend unless they
are also a dog lover.
Now that
the rest of the world has no choice but to witness the demonic,
savage culture Israel has had to contend with for its’ entire
existence, suddenly the times, they are a-changing! No
longer are we hearing the politically correct mantra, “Oh, can’t
them Jews and Arabs jus’ get along and stop all that fighting.”
Since the world has been reluctantly forced to absorb scenes of
mobs raging through major European cities, fists in the air,
shouting “Jihad, jihad, behead, behead!”, the take has
changed. The latest “offended Muslim” chants of
“Exterminate those who mock Islam," "Be prepared for the real
Holocaust", “Europe, learn your lesson from 9/11”
and "Europe you will pay, your 9/11 is on the way", has
the “shock
jocks” shouting, “Nuke them! Nuke them!”
How ironic, that a few cartoons are achieving what Israel’s entire
history, 9/11 and our young heroes returning from Iraq in body
bags, had only partially been able to achieve; an unavoidable
awareness of the Islamic reality.
Good
Lord, I think we are finally getting it. When Mohamed’s
primitive goons rampage around the world protesting cartoons and burning down
embassies because they are ‘insulted’, the world can no longer ignore the
danger these Gestapo robots represent to the rest of us; this can no longer be
taken lightly or dismissed so easily. It was never about cartoons, nor was
it about Sharon going to the Temple mount.
With the Free World watching them in their feeding frenzy of hate,
all these phoney “Jihadis” are doing , in reality, is lose the
“public relations” war they thought would aid their cause. After
all, it always worked in the past.
They
may feel they are earning the approval of their prophet, and the
sly pay of their Imams, but they have proven beyond a doubt what a
majority of the world has reluctantly acknowledged for a long
time. They have only added to the growing number of people who can
see no reason in them, and little purpose in “dialogue”.
How many people in the West can retain any sympathy contemporary
Islam? There will be some, for sure, but the percentage is dropping with each
burnt Embassy and their self-appointed positions as “opinion monitors” is
increasingly under threat. Hello L.A Times, NY Times, ACLU, BBC. It is difficult to justify,
and becoming harder to tolerate in a democratic world, a culture
that is ideologically incapable of, and religiously opposed to,
the basic concepts of democracy. It is a basic premise of our
culture that the press must not be harnessed. America's founding
fathers knew that a free press was so critical to freedom itself
that they enshrined the concept as a Constitutional right. We
innately understand how all other freedoms would be in peril if
this one core value were nullified.
On the other hand, the press in Muslim countries is notoriously
censored and controlled by their dictatorial governments. The
complete Nazification of these dysfunctional people, has left them
no point of reference, so they cannot understand that a reliable,
objective press relies on that thing called freedom, if it is to
serve any function at all beyond propaganda.
Because of
the state of their nations, they cannot understand that in Europe
and elsewhere, propaganda does not control content and governments
do not control what is printed in a free press. In the new
Caliphate, Imams have complete control over what is written – and
believed! Surprisingly even the LA Times seems to have gained a
tenuous grasp of the situation, probably out of self-interest and
self-preservation, because they have never allowed such concern,
previously, to influence their reporting of Israeli or
Islamic affairs. These were their words of wisdom, “The furore
over satirical cartoons depicting the prophet Muhammad intensified
across the world as Syrian protestors set fire to the Danish and
Norwegian embassies in Damascus”
Well
golly, LA Times, do ya’ think these Islamofascists really need an
excuse to revert to standard operating procedure? Of course the
ones with a little savvy have learned the benefits that come with
donating $20 million to Universities thus allowing them to host
hate conferences under the guise of a questionable and
transparent "Palestine Solidarity Movement", as Saudi Prince
Alwaleed did at Georgetown University, with the all-too obvious
intention of spreading his cancer into young American minds. I
am reminded of the Los Angeles riots in 1990, when the residents
of Compton looted and burned South L.A. These weren’t deprived
citizens who were crying because of their poverty and bad
treatment. They were thugs and criminals who wanted to vandalise
for the fun of it! However, they were pussycats compared to these
mask wearing cretins, who cry ‘sensitivity’ and then use that as
an excuse to do what they do best, KILL! The German Chancellor
Angela Merkel was quoted as saying escalating violence would
accomplish little. And, who better than them to know? Merkel
said, “I can understand that religious feelings of Muslims have
been injured and violated, but I also have to make it clear that I
feel it is unacceptable to see this as legitimizing the use of
violence”. Well, she’s got that right. What I would like hear
around the world are questions over the absence of a
counter-Muslim voice, saying definitively that these 8th
century savages do not speak for them? Maybe I missed the
million-man march of protest. The thousand-man march? Actually,
about a hundred Muslims were at the United Nations protesting the
violence. A meagre hundred, out of1.4 billion!
The
cartoons printed in September had nothing to do with the burning
and destruction we are seeing across the world. For years, Islam
has been preaching love and peace, and playing the victim, in one
language and then raging war in another! They feel they have
infiltrated enough of Europe to become a fifth column and are
ready to make their move against the world at large. Hopefully we,
in America, are beginning to wake up and see that the only thing
these savages understand is strength. I have always known that
this mass of evil humanity had a plan, to rid the world of the
“Saturday people”, with “the Sunday people” next. Now, they have
focused on churches across Europe. No longer content to tear them
down and build a mosque on top, they want complete destruction. If
they find themselves successful in this endeavour, expect to see
attacks on more and more churches and synagogues around the world.
What
has all this brought me too? Let them know we also know where they
live… starting with Mecca and Medina! A few well-placed bombs,
targeting the worst of their Imams, would get their attention.
Power they understand. For every burning church, synagogue, dead
Jew, Christian or otherwise innocent, they need to be put on
notice that they will receive the same… ten-fold.
The
Islamic Jihadiis are primitive but they do understand
repercussions. They are trained and ‘educated’ in mosques. This
might be an opportune time to remind the Imams responsible for
initiating these ‘missions’, that they also are vulnerable. Now,
Europe and the West are “hoping for negotiations that would
avoid humiliating Iran and allow it to maintain its “national
dignity.” Who is left standing that thinks Iran has any dignity?
I’m
waiting for the ACLU to rush in and sue the offending newspapers
for bruising the feelings of the shocked Arabs. Even the
self-haters and psychotic leftists seem to be toning down their
rhetoric. The scenes they are watching on television might have
shocked some sense into their mushy brains.
Personally,
I think that this just might be the time for Israel to seize the
moment. They always have to, sooner or later. Instead of waiting
for new directions for more road maps to hell, how about cutting
off their implacable enemies’ electricity, water supply and
access to Israeli hospitalisation and ship them back to their home
in Jordan ,Egypt, Saudi Arabiaso their “brothers” can show some
love? Transfer is a logical word. Don’t fund them… don’t
negotiate with them, don’t hire them, don’t befriend them… deport
them! Defeat them! And keep in mind - since they revere
death…give it to them.

MISSING THE OPPORTUNITY
I recall an old song that goes
"What can I say, after I say I'm sorry". Well, folks, I've been
humming that tune a lot of late, but it keeps coming out, "except I
told you so!" For more years than I care to remember, I have been
writing endless columns about the 'Big Lie' and the fact that what
is trumpeted loudly, in every quarter, as 'the plight of the poor
Palestinians' was, in fact, a travesty caused by their own Arab
brothers. I seem to recall I also said once or twice that Israel is
the prime candidate to take the fall.
Frankly, I'm neither unhappy nor even surprised at the state of
affairs we have arrived at with the Hamas election victory. It's
also no surprise to see these macho savages parading around Gaza,
firing their guns aimlessly and pointlessly into the air, or at
anyone unfortunate enough to cross their paths. Who can be
surprised, seeing them begin the entirely predictable pattern of
destroying themselves from within? The old adage concerning them,
"The Palestinians never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity,"
couldn't be more true. You can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear.
For years, I have been told that Palestinians are an educated
people. Pardon me if I remain unconvinced. Intelligent and
articulate people of good will do not rampage through the streets,
rioting and shouting, "Jihad, Jihad!" and "Death to Jews". I've been
to Gaza a few times. If it were in the hands of anyone with a little
sense or an IQ higher than an eggplant, something could be made of
it; something resembling an economic lifeline, like the most
beautiful of resorts, as just one example. The sea and beach front
areas are superb. Except, even then, all the Palestinians excelled
at was throwing stones at passing cars, burning tires and, oh yes,
smoking that laughing water out of funny looking vases. When given
the opportunity to demonstrate their sense of civic duty and pride,
what do they do? How do they go about rectifying all those years of
corruption Yasser Arafat and company blessed them with? Why, they
vote in a known and violent terrorist organization, a group of
people who, from their inception, embraced hatred, death and
destruction as their only way of life. Their nursery schools and
kindergartens, even their version of Sesame Street, carefully teach
their children, step by step, how to embrace death, so that when
they are old enough to grow up and murder innocent Jews, they can
become martyrs. Having looked into Palestinian "schooling", I know
this is the highest aspiration a child of this misfit and evil
culture can aspire to. Their parents "harvest" children so that they
can grow up and blow up. Now that some of them have grown up and
come into political power, what happens now? Let's not beat about
the bush. The future of Palestine has been laid out in its past.
There is no hope coming from that quarter. For years, I've
been making the point, wherever I can, that our government and the
general population just don't "get it". President George Bush
expounds endlessly about how the people of the Palestinian Authority
just need "the vote". Democracy will bring out their true nature and
there will be a miracle. Yeah, right! Well, they got it - and now
that the Palestinian Terrorist Party has won the elections, are they
happy campers?
Hamas
is not an newly emergent 'solution'. It is not a democratic party.
It has simply usurped the democratic process for its own ends. They
have been feverishly working for the past decade or so towards two
goals: the total Islamization of Palestinian society and the total
destruction of Israel. This is not a political party that has come
into power, nor are they interested in political solutions. Neither
do they harbor intentions compatible with any Westernized
understanding of the democratic process. In short, using the word
"democracy" in association with Hamas is a joke. Palestine, under
Hamas, is a religious 'nation' which lives for and by hatred, mass
casualty suicide bomb attacks, and the murder of as many Israelis as
they can manage. They have no other agenda. No economic policy was
promoted pre-election. The entire 'dialogue', if you can call it
that, was about power. That is all that interests Hamas. Their
philosophy will make Iran look like a pussycat when they implement
their changes. The Sharia law that is going to be enforced
will prohibit normal male-female interaction; music is going to be
banned; G-d help you if you are homosexual, as they especially like
to behead them. I can not yet shake the image of 'honor killings'
brothers or fathers perpetrate on daughters they suspect of
dishonoring them. This is about to become the norm, under Hamas,
even the law of the land. They've managed to murder or chase
out most of the Christian minority, but those who are still left may
find themselves paying the dhimmi tax - yet another benefit
for 'unbelievers' in Islam. What right will we have to criticize
them over these coming human rights abuses when we endorse the
authority that will bring all this about? None. And that will be
another "I told you so" far too late. "Missing the opportunity"
might not be confined solely to Palestinians, after all.
The Palestinians have proudly declared themselves the enemies of
Jews, of America, and of civilized values; the Palestinians have
declared with their 'votes' that they want no peace. Aid? That's
another story. Jimmy Carter, who was the worst governor of my home
state of Georgia before he inflicted himself upon the world stage,
obviously believes that they are going to need our help. Lovely.
This is a group of people who have wasted billions and billions of
dollars in American taxpayers' money; yet, Carter has never changed
his tune. He still hasn't found a terror group active against the
Jewish state that he couldn't love. Unbelievably, he's on record
declaring, "We must continue funding PA President Mahmoud Abbas."
Um, why? It's really sad when the senile can't be stopped from
shooting off their mouths. (And that goes for Shimon Peres also.) It
is going to turn really interesting now. Bush is also on record
warning of a cut in funding. Yet, rumor has it that the State
Department, with President Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza
Rice, have found a way to approve funds to funnel American tax
dollars into Palestinian pockets. In the past, despite the will of
Congress, they funneled money through international charities and
non-governmental organizations located in Gaza, Judea and Samaria.
Shame some of that money couldn't find its way into Israel for the
benefit of the victims of Arab terrorism.
I am amazed that the Arabs, who have all the money in the world,
especially now that oil is again at high levels, don't do anything
to help their "Arab brothers", but sit back smugly, happy that the
burden of aid falls on everyone except them. Amazing that Saudi
sheiks have seemingly unlimited funds to set up "Muslim Chairs" at
American Universities, and are buying American real estate at the
speed of light, but are too cash-strapped to help build the schools
and hospitals 'Palestine' is going to need. And need them they would
if it were up to me - I'd make sure that Israel turned off the
water, electricity, medical options, etc., and make sure they didn't
get one damn thing more from Israel's good heart. Hamas made
no promises or statements to the Palestinian people about financial
management and responsibility, so surely the responsibility is on us
to exercise some. They are already pleading that they are on
the edge of bankruptcy and cannot 'function' without more
international funds. Since they have no export except terrorism, no
infrastructure and no industry to speak of, they're not going to be
able to meet the payrolls of their 130,000 PA employees, mostly
terrorists of one kind or another, let alone promote a better fiscal
future for their 'nation'. Good! Maybe they might notice that their
leadership is a present day Nazi party and the rest of the world
might think twice about funding another Reich. Or Caliphate. It's
already come back to bite them in the tush in Paris and a dozen
other countries that once befriended them. And let there be no
mistake about it. All of Hamas's friends are waiting in the wings. I
have no doubt that their savage cohorts in Morocco, Iran, Tunisia,
Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, etc., are waiting with bated breath to
see how the Lunatic Left feels about pushing through aid and
congratulations because they are now "one of us" in democracy. This
is a terrorist state in the making. And they can not be negotiated
with. Aid cannot, must not, be forthcoming and the only thing that
can be done to them is to make certain of their destruction in the
name of civilized society. That, folks, is something they
understand. Hugs don't work with this group of people. Power, yes;
that they can comprehend, and they must - now!
