BIBI RELEASES PRISONERS -- ABBAS RELEASES VENOM

By Sig Demling

The one-sided nature of negotiations between the Arabs and Israelis never have been more apparent than in this Christmas season.

On the one hand Israel prepares to release more blood-on-their hands prisoners as a gesture of good will and in return, the intensity of venomous Jew-hating increases over the Palestinian airwaves and further increases while more Israelis are killed by Arabs.

This is the way the idiotic John Kerry "peace" process works -- Israel pays the price but gets no reward in return.

That is unless you count -- as a "reward" -- more rocketry from Gaza that continually threatens Israeli cities such as Ashkelon, Ashdod and Sderot, just to name a few.

In the very, very unlikely event that a peace pact can be negotiated, Prime Minister Netanyahu surley must be aware that absolutely none of the anti-Israel diatribes will be abated. Incitement against Israel will continue and terrorism will remain the top Arab priority. 

There's an obvious reason for that statement. For proof, you merely have to study Arab reaction to every single goodwill concession made by Israel in order to keep Kerry's peace process alive.

* Israel relinquishes Gaza and Hamas overthrows the PA. That done, Hamas declares war against the Jewish State and the Arab missile assaults never end.

* Israel endlessly releases prisoners while incitement against the Middle East's only democracy continues unabated.

* Israeli citizens innocently riding a bus barley escape an Arab terrorist's bomb meant to blow them to death. Yet a not a single word of regret -- forget about an apology -- is heard from Mahmoud Abbas. 

And while all this goes on -- and Bibi's concessions continue -- Abbas will not even concede the obvious; that Israel is the Jewish state.

The prevailing opinion among some political savants is that the PM will do virtually anything not to disturb Kerry although it has been apparent from the get-go -- and certainly obvious from the dastardly Iran sellout -- that the Secretary of State and his hypocritical president are enemies of Israel.

If you doubt that consider the fact that Kerry-Obama never utter a peep of complaint about Arabs slaying Israelis -- and doing so with virtual impunity. Never will Obama-Kerry blame Abbas for his steadfast rejection of virtually every reasonable offer made by Bibi. 

My point is that the time has come for the Prime Minister to cease and desist with prisoner releases and other Obama-forced friendship gestures which gain nothing in return.

Poliitics aside, Bibi should listen up to his Economy and Trade Minister Naftali Bennett who minces no words about the enemy with whom peace is impossible. 

"Israel is continuing with the peace process as though there is no terror while the Palestinians are continuing the terror as though there is no peace process," says Bennett with extreme accuracy. "The claim that the Palestinian  Authority is not connected to the terror attacks is blowing up in our faces every day."

Not surprisingly, the killing of an Israeli worker along the Gaza border caused jubilation among the Hamas terrorists as did the near-bus disaster when Israelis were evacuated mere minutes before the bomb exploded.

Such sick, sinister reactions among the Gaza and West Bank Arabs should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with the Palestinian educational system.

Again, Bennett has the bullseye explanation: "When you educate children in terror from the age of kindergarten, when your television broadcasts depict Jews as monsters, when even Tel Aviv is not on your maps -- then you are a terrorist."

My advice: The next time Kerry lays out his grand, fallacious plan for Arab-Israeli peace, I would read Bennett's words to the Secretary of State and then sing a chorus of the legendary Louis Jordan's tune to him:

"I Told You I Love You -- Now Get Out!"

PUT FEAR IN THE PHONIES

By Schmoel Yitzhak

This is how the political world is tilted against Israel.

Week by week more evidence is discovered about Assad's use of poison gas to subdue thousands after thousands of his foes. 

Month by month Uncle Sam and the European Union punish Assad by doing virtually nothing to stop the butchery.  

Meanwhile, all Israel does is attempt to live a peaceful life while assailed by Islamic militants on all sides. Add to that a virulently Jew-hating United Nations official whose job is to be fair to all sides; as long as one of them is not Israel.

Richard Falk, a bigot among bigots, who carries some fancy title such as United Nations Special rapporteur, believes that he's primarily being paid to attack Israel. That's his priority agenda and the reason why he should have been ousted a long ago. Yet Falk is permitted to spew his hateful remarks with virtual impunity.

Only the Dominion of Canada has had the gumption to lay it on the line with Falk, demanding his ouster -- immediately. 

By contrast we have the typically wishy-washy response from the Barack Obama camp.  vanilla, tepid and equivocal. The White House wouldn't dare demand that Falk get the boot; all we get from the State Department is fatuous rationales why it won't go that far.

Of course one never hears a discouraging word from Falk the Phony when it comes to true genocide which has been openly practiced in Syria for two years without any sign of stopping. Now can anyone explain this egregious imbalance; Israel is blamed for building homes in Judea and Samaria -- land  up for negotiation -- while Assad revs up his killing machine with impunity?

Yet, the explanation is as clear as any other phony case in which the growing world of anti-Semites will find fault with Benjamin Netanyahu if he should happen to blow his nose the wrong way.

Part of the problem is that Israel does not rebuke its tormentors as fervently -- and with high decibel count -- as I would like.

That explains why I've come to appreciate the attitude of Naftali Bennett.

There's no equivocation when he makes a point; not political correctitude from Israel's Economy and Trade Minister.

He views John Kerry's peace talks for what they are -- a bunch of ideas designed to give the Arabs a distinct advantage over Israel.

Unlike the more cautious Benjamin Netanyahu, Bennett points out that Israel's mortal enemy, Hamas, must be factored into peace talks. 

With precious sarcasm, Bennett puts it this way: "Maybe I missed the news and Hamas in Gaza recognized Israel and stopped firing rockets. Or, to put it even mored succinctly , Bennet adds that peace talks that do not include the Hamas leaders would be "a joke."

No joke is the obvious Kerry-Obama scheme to force a treaty unfavorable to Israel down Bibi's throat.

Bennett can see through the phoniness of the president and his puppet. Naftali's warning should not be ignored.

"So you'll commit suicide and relinquish our responsibility over our security because someone puts pressure on you? Ehud Barak promised everything to the Palestinians and we got one thousand dead. We were promised that Gaza would turn into Singapore and we got thousands of rockets. The result of Oslo was fifteen hundred dead."

In other words, if a peace treaty gives the Palestinians a "state," Israel will be attacked from all sides. 

And if you have any doubts about that, just re-read Bennett's straightforward appraisal of what happened after Oslo and once Israel moved out of Gaza.

Hamas wants to kill Jews; the Palestinian Authority feels likewise only with a more subtle approach.

Bibi must resist any con jobs from the White House phonies because the political world, led by Obama, is severely tilted against Israel.
