Wake up, Israel!


By Ryan Jones

Guaranteeing a people’s right to live and work with a degree of freedom and security is an important part of any government’s job. But is it more important than protecting the lives of other people?

According to Israel’s High Court, it is.

The court’s panel of justices ruled this week that Israel must halt construction of a security barrier meant to prevent “Palestinian” terrorists from slaughtering more of Jerusalem’s Jews because it would too greatly inconvenience the Arabs living east of the capital.

That Israel cannot even take this step is characteristic of the leftist liberal attitude towards Jews defending themselves that permeates much of Western society.

So, if Israel is to be condemned regardless of anything it does short of lying down to die, why take the weak, “moderate” way out?

Is the fence going to provide greater security for Israel’s Jews than militarily destroying the Palestinian Arab terror groups? Of course not.

Why would anyone threatened by a foe bent on his demise simply build a wall when he had the ability to eliminate the threat?

The IDF is perfectly capable of wiping out the “Palestinian” terrorist infrastructure, but Jerusalem is far too concerned with what an antipathetic world would think.

Wake up, Israel!

Have you not yet realized that the nations loathe your very existence and will never suffer you to take even the most minimal step to defend yourself?

Take a lesson from America and the Bush administration — ignore the world, tell the international community it is either with you or with the terrorists, and take the battle to enemies of your people.

The security fence is going to bring just about as much security as providing the PLO with thousands of weapons did.

The right answer to Palestinian Arab terror is not to build a wall to hide behind, but to exercise your full right to self-defense and eradicate the terrorist threat plaguing your citizens with death and mutilation.

You have the right, you have the military ability, and you have the duty. Now put Hamas, Islamic Jihad, etc out of business. Don’t leave them to drool for Jewish blood just a few kilometers from your children — wall or no wall.

You have the right to defend yourself in any manner you deem fit, regardless of what the US, EU, UN or even your own High Court says. But you must begin making decisions that are best for your people, and not those that you think will result in the least amount of international outrage.

Your true friends will be with you, no matter what.
