MEMO TO BIBI NETANYAHU: STOP THE PLEADING!

By Schmoel Yitzhak

The ominous Haaretz headline read: NETANYAHU PLEADS TO SAVE TALKS AS PALESTINIANS THREATEN WALKOUT

Since I disbelieve about ninety-percent of what I read in that Quisling-Israeli "newspaper," I wondered just how intense the "pleading" was or if the Prime Minister had actually "pleaded" at all.

But just for the sake of argument, let's assume that Bibi did plead with the Arabs not to quit the peace talks.

My response is simply this: why plead?

What's this pleading all about? Why is it necessary to beseech Mahmoud Abbas and his band of brigands to return to negotiations if they are so set on aborting the mistakenly-conceived Obama-fueled talks in the first place?

For starters, it is important to note that Israel's leader has nothing for which to apologize.

He has scrupulously followed the rules laid down by Uncle Sam's choreographer-in-chief to a T.

These negotiations were to be held without conditions. Yet, the Arabs continually have reiterated condition after condition with the accent on a settlement freeze.

Talks were to be face-to-face -- led by Abbas -- but the Palestinian invariably turns to the Arab League for direction uncertain which way to go other than the unconditional route.

By being steadfast about his no-halt-to-settlement-building stance Bibi made a forceful decision in the face of Obama's dismay not to mention the anger betrayed by Palestine Liberation Organization official Yasser Abed Rabbo and, of course, Abbas.

This set Abbas-Rabbo, Inc. back on their collective heels, put the ball back into their court and, for the moment at least, asserted that capitulation to their demands was not a priority in the Israeli negotiating playbook.

However -- and this is what worries me -- Netanyahu added that he believed a "creative" solution could still resolve the impasse and keep the flickering flame of talks from being snuffed out.

If this "creative" solution entails any form of backing down from Netanyahu's stated end to the settlement freeze it only will indicate that American (Obama) pressure has reached white heat proportions which Bibi just might find irresistible and force Israel into foolish concessions.

Any Israeli capitulation at this point would be an egregious mistake; and for these reasons.

* BLAME ABBAS: If the Arabs follow through on their threatened walkout, they must face the blame. Such a quitting of the talks would be rooted in a pre-condition based on another settlement freeze. And it long has been stated that there should be no pre-conditions. Period!

* DISTRACTED OBAMA: The American chief of state is distracted by one of the worst approval ratings of any such chief executive in the States. With elections approaching, Obama cannot further infuriate Jewish voters by more bullying of Bibi. The president has little leverage now, no matter how strong a position Israel takes in opposition to Obama's position.

* PRECEDENT: As Netanyahu points out, for 17 years the Palestinians conducted a direct dialogue with Israeli governments WHILE BUILDING IN JUDEA AND SAMARIA CONTINUED. So, why can't talks resume now as construction in the West Bank has resumed?

A serious game of Who Flinches First? is being waged and, so far, Israel is winning.

By backing off his pro-settlement building stance -- as Abbas demands -- Bibi would be committing an major error that would terribly weaken his and his country's negotiating position.

After all, the only thing he'd get in return would be Abbas returning to the negotiating table while providing no concessions at all the to Israel.

And in Obama kind of language -- that ain't right!

BOTTOM LINE: Bibi should avoid pleading and let Abbas walk if that's his game!

WAKE UP!

Times up! The game is up.

The Obama administration has lived up to what I said it would do; push American Jews to either support what they know is morally right at the expense of their Americanism and Israel, or fold up their tents and surrender to the anti-semitic, anti-Israel world.

Once Israel had a certain peace of mind, knowing that America and its presidential administrations would take the moral high ground and support Israel, while the EU, UN, Russia and the Third World dictatorships would cave in to Arab Oil, money and pressure.

That is no longer the situation.

This American Administration has done something no other has ever done since the creation of Israel.

The Obama Administration has continually and without pause sacrificed Israel’s diplomatic safety in the hopes of gaining points in the Arab and Muslim world.

Never before has such a firm and well-tested ally as Israel been sold out by an American Administration. Never before has an American President put not just Israel’s diplomatic safety in jeopardy, but all of America’s allies who sit in precarious positions (an important message for you Taiwan, South Korea and Japan).

Jews the world over who condemn Israel for what is basically the Palestinians’ destruction of peace, I tell you now, you are nothing more than COWARDS. All you have done is jump on the ship of immorality.

I have supported peace since attaining Israeli citizenship eleven years ago. I supported Israeli governments that have on several occasions offered up Palestinian statehood and an end to this supposed “horrible” settlement building.

Each time and with each government we (the majority of Israelis) who seek peace have watched the Palestinians play a sick, sadistic game -- demanding the destruction of Israel.

Ehud Barak, Ariel Sharon and Ehud Olmert were all rebuffed by the Palestinians.

Why? Because the Palestinians do not want peace; they wholeheartedly seek the destruction of my nation and country. So do not expect me to give any more to these WOLVES in moderate clothes.

Just this last week HAMAS leader Mahmoud Zahar admitted outright that Yassar Arafat gave HAMAS the green light for terrorist attacks after the Camp David and Taba Talks.

What that means is that the supposedly moderate leader of the Palestinians ordered HAMAS to carry out terror attacks against Israeli civilians in the HEART of Israel, after Israeli Prime Minster Ehud Barak offered Arafat Palestinian Statehood, 97% of the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the whole of the Gaza Strip.

This Hamas acknowledgment also means that the pimp Arafat was giving HAMAS the green light throughout the whole Oslo process.

One forgets that Israel suffered the most suicide attacks during the Oslo period. As PM Rabin stood for peace and paid for it with his life, Arafat stood for hatred and war.

So Obama wants to blame Israel if talks breakdown.

He wants my government to give these Palestinians two more months of settlement freeze on top of the ten months they tossed in the garbage, like Arafat did to Peace?

Don’t think so, we Israeli’s have given enough, we have paid for peace with our blood and it is high time the world WAKES UP!

I’ll say it now: this sick world won’t wake up.

Today’s anti-Israelism is just another form of anti-semitism.

This age-old form of anti-semitism dehumanizes Jews with lies, slander and downright hatred. It says the Jew and the Jewish nation is genetically flawed and evil. The same goes for today’s anti-Israelism: it dehumanizes Israel with lies, slander and hatred; all of it because it is the Jewish State.

So, awake, Israel; it is time to fight. Those who stand in our way seek the destruction of our country and nation and should be viewed as enemies.

We must be ready to go to war on all fronts; we must be ready to make great sacrifices to defend our nation and people. Otherwise we will once again walk off to the gas chambers of history.
