Let’s Do Things the Spanish Way!

Sixteen more human sacrifices were offered up this morning to the Oslo pagan goddess. They were murdered for one reason and one reason only: Ariel Sharon was too cowardly to kill Yassir Arafat and the rest of the PLO leadership behind the bombings and atrocities. Ariel Sharon proved he is too frightened to make war against PLO nazism. Ariel Sharon has signaled to the terrorists that they are winning. That Israel is too pusillanimous to make war on its enemies. That Israel seeks to surrender to Amelek. That all the talk about Israel’s raison d’etre being "Never Again" was nothing but rhetoric. And that when it comes to Nazis once again mass murdering Jewish civilians, Israel’s response is to seek to conduct dialogue with them and convince them to arrest the real terrorists.

At long last, I believe I have discovered the perfect role model for Israel of the 21st century. It is Spain. The new Spain, the democratic Spain. Ok, when speaking with Spaniards we should actually call it Occupied Andalusia, but you know what I mean.

But you, see Spain is a country that deals with terrorism. It has separatist radical organizations among the Basques and Catalans, and the Basques in particular have learned from the great success of the PLO that bombings and violence are the best way to victory. The Basque ETA is defined by Spain, the US and the EU as a terrorist organization. Not activists. Not militants. Terrorists. I guess cause it does not target Jews.

But democratic Spain has just decided to get serious about ITS terrorists (and never mind that it of course joins the Euro Nuremberg Rally in backing Palestinian terrorism).

You see, Spain has just made it a crime to express verbal approval of Basque terrorism. Anyone saying publicly that they understand or justify Basque terrorism is barred from running for election. Parties holding such a view are to be declared illegal and their leaders and members arrested. Spanish law criminalizes parties that "preach hatred and violence," unless of course it is directed against Jews. The initiative to ban pro-terror activities and parties is that of the democratically elected Prime Minister Ansar. When the Vatican whined about this abridging the free speech of those who support Basque terror, the Spanish Foreign Minister called in its rep and dressed him down. Spain is serious. No nonsense. Endorse an atrocity, go to jail. Actually, anyone wishing to run for office will be required under Spanish law to publicly DENOUNCE terrorism.

Now all Israel has to do is follow the lead of Spain and pass a similar law making it illegal to endorse or justify terrorism unless it is directed against Spain!!

You see, in that case, every single Arab political party in Israel will be declared illegal. Ahmed Tibi and Azmi Bashara and the rest of the Arab Knesset fascist menagerie will be placed behind bars. So will the Jewish communists who march with and support them. Uri Avnery will be put into solitary, along with scores of Tenured Traitors from the Israeli universities. Meretz is likely to be declared illegal, and I am not sure
that the Israeli Labor Party will be able to survive in tact. It goes without saying that nearly all the employees at Haaretz newspaper will be sent to the chain gang.

The very first case of Mad Cow’s Disease has now been documented in Israel, but you can relax because it turns out that it was not an infection of Yael Dayan...
