It is a good thing that the government of Israel decided to give into the terrorists. Their capitulation to the hundreds of bombings perpetrated by “militants” has resulted in a safer more peaceful Middle East.
As pointed out on this blog by Frequent Commenter Nate; “Every…security measure drives even more Palestinians to commit acts of terrorism. It is a cycle of violence that cannot be broken easily. I think the Israelis need to win over the masses of Palestinians. Perhaps leaving Gaza/the West bank could provide such good will.”
What Nate suggests, and what Israel has done, is to give in to some of the demands of the terrorists in order to secure peace. This peace has arrived at a costly price, making it hard for some to accept. Thousands of innocent Israeli men, women and children have been killed by terrorists. They have blown up hotels, pizza shops, busses (a favorite target) schools and cars. These deaths, the blood of those people make it difficult for some to accept that Israel had to pull out of the Gaza Strip. Gaza is an area of land that Israel took by force of arms after they were invaded in an effort to completely destroy the nation. Israel decided to use the land as a buffer zone so that never again would a nation, or a block of nations, be in a position to launch a war of aggression.
Be it right or wrong, this policy of settlement lasted for forty years. Israel’s only claim to the land was that it was won in a hard fought war after they were invaded. The presence of the Jews in this area, along with the West Bank, Jerusalem, and as some would claim all of Israel is seen as offensive, inflammatory and an intolerable insult to Muslims in general and the Palestinian people specifically. The only thing to do, to right this wrong, was to protest, to throw rocks at the soldiers and when that didn’t work to switch to Molotov cocktails or shoot them. Once the soldiers fought back, it was time to hide, to attack by killing athletes, blowing up planes, and hotels. Israel responded by killing any terrorist they could identify, which further angered the oppressed terrorists. They started targeting children, mothers, fathers, men and women, anywhere that there was a group of people gathered they would try and detonate a bomb.
Israel would strike back
The terrorist would strike back
Israel would strike back
The terrorist would strike back
Israel would strike back
The terrorist would strike back
Israel would strike back
The terrorist would strike back
Israel would strike back
The terrorist would strike back
Israel would strike back
The terrorist would strike back
And it would continue…
Until Sharon decided “to win over the masses of Palestinians.” His vision was to give them what they had asked for, and in return the terrorists would stop killing people. It is a simple plan, so simple that it has not been tried before. Last week, Israel pulled the last of their citizens, some kicking and screaming, from their homes.
Not only did he make all of the Jews living there leave, he had them dig up all of the Jews that Had been buried there and removed them too. All the buildings and houses that had been built by the offensive Jews were bulldozed to the ground, so no poor homeless Palestinian family would not have to suffer the indignity of living in a home that was built by and for Jews.
Now that Gaza has been cleared, PEACE IS AT HAND
A PALESTINIAN blew himself up while trying to board a bus in southern Israel in the first suicide attack since the evacuation of settlers from Gaza, puncturing hopes that the historic pullout would break the cycle of violence.
Palestinian militant groups Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades linked to Fatah and Al-Quds Brigades of Islamic Jihad jointly claimed the bombing, in a statement sent to AFP.
"This operation is a response to the arrogance of the Zionist occupation, to the terrible massacre committed in Tulkarem against the mujahedin of the Al-Quds Brigades and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades," the groups said in a joint statement.
