Global Anti-Semitism


(Washington Times) Arnold Beichman - • I wonder why the thesis is rarely examined publicly that the Palestinians will never never never be allowed to make peace with Israel even if the Palestinians wanted to. Yasser Arafat, Hamas, Hizballah, and free-lance terrorists won't allow it to happen because they believe victory is at hand. •The reason this thesis is not on anybody's public agenda is that were it considered a reality it would mean recognizing the futility of Oslo-Camp David-shuttle diplomacy. • I believe that Israel could close down all the settlements and still the three-year Palestinian uprising would continue and intensify. Why? Because the PLO regards Israel as the Settlement, which has to be "relocated," as the PLO constitution has it, right into the Mediterranean Sea. •And the PLO's dedication to terrorism is fully supported by its Egyptian and Syrian neighbors. Their revolting propaganda, directed at their Arab citizenry and future generations of suicide bombers, underscores that belief. •Why should the Palestinians give up hope and make peace where anti-Semitism has seen its biggest growth since the Hitler era, not just among skinheads but also among "the best people?" The real problem for Israel is that a world of otherwise intelligent, literate people will not make peace with an entity called "the Jews."
