Biological Warfare

(Spectator-UK) Douglas Davis - There is no immediate prospect of peace between Israel and the Palestinians. The spate of Palestinian suicide bombings that followed Israel's decision to withdraw from major Palestinian cities last month testified again to a Palestinian determination to scupper progress towards any diplomatic accommodation with the Jewish state. A large body of Palestinians have still not reconciled themselves to the two-state solution. More specifically, they have not, despite the Oslo accords, come to terms with the existence of a Jewish state on what they call holy Muslim soil. Palestinians are convinced that they have far more to gain by playing for time. On present trends, say the demographers, Palestinians will outnumber Jews in the area between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River - Israel, the West Bank and Gaza - by 2020. Why accept a truncated two-state solution in the West Bank and Gaza when the one-state solution down the road will deliver Israel, too, by the simple expedient of eroding Israel's Jewish majority. All the Palestinians have to do is breed for victory: make love, not war, and transform their womenfolk into what Arafat calls his "biological bombs." The Palestinians are convinced that Israel's security fence represents an Israeli attempt to destroy the goal of achieving a demographically driven one-state solution.
