To 120!


  1. As you probably know, there is a common greeting in Hebrew - "To 120!!". It is said on birthdays and other happy occasions.

    The Israeli Oslo Left has now created an entirely new meaning to the greeting "To 120!!."

    It is now official. In the month of March 2002, the Israeli Oslo Left and its "peace process" produced the murders of more than 120 Jews.

    Now here is a mathematical exercise for you. If two years ago the Olso peace process was only murdering five Jews a month and now is murdering 120 Jews a month, at this rate of acceleration, how long will it take before Shimon Peres and Yossi Beilin and the Israeli Oslunatics have produced a murder rate similar to that in Auschwitz?

  2. I am hereby proposing that the official mantra of the Israel Left now become "Auschwitz for Peace".

  3. The lake of blood filling Israel is the result of the Israeli government following a policy over nine years, and in fact longer, of refusing to defend Jewish civilians. It regards Jewish civilians as expendable. Not even cannon fodder, which would imply that cannons were being fired. This is why it responds to every PLO atrocity by turning the other cheek and refusing to fight. This is why it has done nothing to keep the terrorists out of Israeli cities. This is why it has maintained "controlled carnage" agreements by which the Arabs may murder Jews in reasonable numbers. Israel is the only nation on earth where terrorists can butcher dozens of children and the government asks to hold peace talks with them. The Israeli government refuses to kill the terrorists and the murderers. It refuses to defend Jewish children.

    Imagine, just imagine, that when the Allies imposed martial law and occupation on Germany and Japan in 1945 that the defeated fascists would have sent out suicide terrorists to murder Americans. (And that would of course be American troops and not children.)

    Imagine, just imagine. How would the US have responded? Better yet, how would the Soviets have responded?

    (Ok, we know that the French would have responded by waving little pink hankies.)

    Until yesterday the Hizbollah was responding to Ehud Barak’s cowardice and capitulation ONLY by bombing a section of Mount Dov to which Lebanon asserts a fictional legal claim, keeping a semblance of "legalism" to its terror. But yesterday the Hizbollah shelled the Western Galilee near Nahariya. Ariel Sharon responded… (drumroll)… by not responding. Just like when the Hizbollah sent in terrorists who murdered six Israelis two weeks back. Guess what the lesson will be that the Hizbollers will draw from this?

    In another act of cowardice, Sharon did nothing when contingents of Eurotrash lefties paid homage to Arafat in his besieged Ramallah headquearters and even tried to smuggle out to safety the murderers of Rehavam Zeevi that are barricaded in Arafat’s boudoir. The IDF did not teach these gentlemen and ladies to dance the Debka from the end of a rope, nor treat them like Taliban John was treated by the Yanks.

    Meanwhile, the nazification of world opinion thanks to Oslo proceeds anew. We now know that the mass murder of Jewish children by the PLO is freedom fighting, resistance to occupation, and legitimate self-defense. Any military act by Israel against the PLO is genocide. Just ask the Europeans.

  4. Other nuggets:

    RAMALLAH, West Bank, April 1 (Reuters) - Besieged Palestinian President Yasser Arafat has sent his condolences to Britain’s Queen Elizabeth and Prime Minister Tony Blair over the death of the Queen Mother, Palestinian news agency WAFA said....

    Nablus- An opinion poll organized by the press department at the Najah University in Nablus yesterday revealed that majority of the Palestinian people supported martyrdom operations against Zionist occupiers.

    The poll that included 327 persons from various affiliations pointed out that 87.4% of them supported continuation of Palestinian martyrdom operations.

    72.4% even supported expansion of those operations to cover all areas within the Zionist entity and not only in the West Bank or Gaza Strip.

    The poll showed that 64% also backed martyrdom operations launched by women commandos.

    Another 79.5% expressed belief that the only solution to the conflict with the Zionist entity was continuation of resistance and intifada.

    The poll displayed Palestinian pessimism towards future of the Middle East conflict and the American role as 64.5% objected to American envoy Anthony Zinniâ^À^Ùs demands while 62% said that the Saudi initiative did not serve as a suitable foundation for setting the Palestine cause.
