If "genocidal enemies" did not exist, under current trends, Israel wil not exist in 40-50 years. Demographics and poor economic performance are the indicators.
The jihad has not decimated those groups who are against a strong Israel, even if these groups are nominal Christians.
Herbert Zweibon represents a political club. Politics accepts hypocracy. Any AFSI efforts to send emergency relief supplies to the "non Arab animists of Darfur"?
Abu Mazen receives support from many Jewish groups in the diaspora and in Israel. These groups are aware of Mazen's book. Well before the scheduled dissolution of Israel, as we know th e country, the Shoah will be nearly forgotten. In the States, "Holocoast" represents events other than the Shoah.
Perhaps Herbert Zweibon and AFSI are fearful in approaching the real enemies of the Jews. Abu Mazen is just a manifestation of the threat. The jihadists have been around long before Abu Mazen arrived.

BobW, Now you have addressed the point well: Abbas was Al Capone's #2 for 30 years. What? We expected him to become a Republican? It's at the root of the whole ME view: Just because you give someone the right to vote does not mean it's a democracy.
On Friday, January 28, there was a "landslide municipal election victory [] announced for Hamas. The terrorist group carried seven out of ten Gaza Strip districts, capturing 75 of the 118 council seats."
If voters vote for terrorism, does that make it a democracy? For example, Iran's population votes, is it a democracy? It has the earliest legal voting age in the world -- anyone 15 and older is eligible to vote? Is it a democracy?
Declaring a nation a democracy simply because people vote does not make it a democracy. Ask the Russians, Iranians, Haitians, Yugoslavs (formerly), Indonesians, and the rest.
I am happy that Iraqis are happy, that they voted with success, but I would like to see evidence of a democracy in action over the next years before the verdict is in.
Iraqis and Palestinians have no understanding of what is meant by a democracy. Voting give the right to chose, if they are lucky, the leaders that reflect their view. Think of their choices.
Iraqis said "no voting for you" to Iraqi Jews living in Israel? A democracy? Oh, Please.
Will Iraq recognize Israel? Forget it.
Iraq will be a twin brother to Iran in short order. The Shiite majorities in both countries demand it.
Yes, only time will tell, but it is happening with our own hand.
Jews must always be careful who we jump in bed with.

AFSI: AUSCHWITZ, ABU MAZEN AND JIHAD
Americans for a Safe Israel (AFSI) believes it is perverse and ironic that the Europeans and Americans who speak so eloquently in memory of the millions of ghosts of Auschwitz, where one and one half million persons were gassed, the overwhelming majority of them Jewish, brush off the fact that Abu Mazen, the so called president of the putative Palestinian Arab state about whom they are enthusiastic, is a Holocaust-denier who has besmirched the victims.
“In 1983”, notes AFSI chairman Herbert Zweibon,” Abu Mazen wrote, ‘The Other Side: The Secret Relationship Between the Nazis and the Zionist Movement’ in which he denies the use of gas chambers, insists that the actual number of Jewish victims was “only” one million, that the number was inflated to 6,000,000 by Zionist leaders to obtain outsize reparations, and that the Zionists led a broad campaign of incitement to murder the Jews in order to gain sympathy for the creation of Israel.”
“It is also ironic”, says Zweibon, “that all the commemorators have failed to mention that most enduring genocidal institution-- the jihad-- which focuses now on Jews and Israel, but has decimated other non Moslem populations including Christians, Zoroastrians, Hindus, Buddhists, and the non Arab animists of Darfur so frequently evoked by those speaking of Auschwitz.”
Zweibon concludes, “It is the ultimate hypocrisy to speak of Auschwitz and the Holocaust and divorce those events from Israel today, which is threatened by genocidal enemies whose spokesman, Abu Mazen, lures their potential and future victims into fatal concessions with false promises of peace.”
