What War on Terror

What War on Terror

THE WAR ON TERROR IS STUCK by Emanuel A. Winston, Mid East Analyst & Commentator

The American President George W. Bush tells us on national television that the War Against Global Terror is moving forward. Some think it’s moving backward in selective fits and starts.

For example for a time, Israel was effectively thwarting Terror on her own soil until the old idea of taming the mix of Terrorists under Yasir Arafat’s umbrella by funding it (read: bribe) to make peace. The U.S. pushed Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres to break up their own Intelligence services inside the Arab Muslim Palestinian areas and hand the responsibility over to Yassir Arafat’s 12 Secret Services, including the names of the Terrorists (which, of course, Arafat already knew). Not only did Israel lose her "Humint" (Human intelligence) on the ground, that is, spies inside of the Terrorists’ movements. But, the few who were caught by Arafat’s agents entered what became known as the "Revolving Door Syndrome" as they were often released or allowed to escape within hours.

Moreover, instead of engaging in hot pursuit of Terrorists, the Israeli Shabak knew who those were either prepared to commit a Terrorist attack or had already done so and escaped to some Arab village. Naturally, when the Israelis turned over this information, Arafat informed the Terrorists to go deeper into hiding. This was supposedly designed to please the American doctrine of appeasing the Saudis and the various Terrorist organizations. (Ask the U.S. State Department who ran the operation but, of course, since 9/11 - they are untouchable.)

Now, as the Bush Administration and his confederates pretend to chase a new batch of Terrorists they once again insist that Israel close down her operations that assassinate Terrorist leaders or just act out a short burst of activity after the Arab Muslim Palestinian Terrorists attack Israeli Jews in a high profile manner. There is to be no Israeli attempt to crush the Terrorists called "Palestinians" - unlike what Bush is trying ‘unsuccessfully’ to do in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The Bush Administration has a selective approach as to who is a Terrorist to kill and who is a Terrorist to find and coddle. We and the Europeans are pouring billions of dollars into the same distribution network first established by Arafat. Now Mahmoud Abbas (aka Abu Mazen) is heir to that network. He doesn’t dare stop the distribution of donor funds lest he be shot dead in days. The money flows from the European Union in millions and billions of dollars hoping to prove that their prior financing of Terrorist was not a total waste. The same holds true for the U.S. who had this State Department-driven philosophy that somehow the ‘Jihadists’ (Holy Warriors for Islam) could be bribed to cease their ‘successful’ war against the West.

So, bribery/blackmail continues through every organization you can think of, in order hide the aggregate amount of money that was and still is flowing into Muslim Arab Palestinian Terrorist networks.One conduit was the U.N.’s UNRWA (United Nation Relief Works Association) who employ some twenty thousand Terrorists to funnel billions into the Palestinian network. This boondoggle was easily comparable to the U.N.’s oil-for-food hustle and still goes on.

Who are the Europeans and Americans really bribing? Certainly not the Arab Muslim Palestinian who never get the money which is first filtered through the hands of the Terrorist network. The oil nations have tripled even quadrupled their profits since crude oil rose from $20 to $40 and now in the high $60s per barrel. They are coining trillions but note that they are not supporting the Palestinians. They only pledge what is necessary and then only actually give a fraction of what they pledge. The reason being that they hate the rabble called the Palestinians and do not trust them. They are right not to trust them, given their betrayal of Kuwait in 1990 and they would have done the same to Saudi Arabia - given the chance. (In fact, it has long been anticipated. Both Kuwait and Saudi Arabia deported some 300,000 to 350,000 Arab Muslim Palestinians from their countries after the first Gulf War as they proved to be risks of a clear and present danger.

But, Bush and the Europeans must continue the fiction that they will become a democracy as another fictional democracy in Iraq. So the game of Guerilla Warfare Theater goes on.

Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East, has become a virtual dictatorship under the Sharon-Peres philosophy driven by the Bush Doctrine of appeasing the Arab Muslim Palestinians and Saudi Arabia. As Bush pushes Democracy among the Palestinian Arab Muslims and he also is destabilizing the Democracy of Israel through Ariel Sharon.

But, the Bush Administration is running into a wall of reality much like in the cartoon of Roadrunner who hurls himself into walls and goes "Splat". The "Splat" is happening in Iraq, Afghanistan and most certainly in Israel where the mix of Terrorists is not following the Bush so-called "Road Map". The only nation who was successfully fighting Terrorism has had her hands tied except for a brief burst of permitted retribution and then she is stopped. Many pundits say it is Sharon who has chosen to betray his own people and his own nation.

I disagree, given that his "Plan to Disengage" i.e., Dismantle Israel was well on its way even before Sharon took office. It seemed clear that the Arabist State Department has been pushing this plan since at least 1948. Sometimes they got lucky when the Israeli Prime Minister was a Left Liberal or a devotee of American arm-twisting such as Rabin, Peres, Barak, Netanyahu, Sharon. They had some trouble with Menachem Begin and a lot of trouble from Yitzhak Shamir which was solved by throwing a lot of campaign funds to unseat Shamir in favor of Rabin. Rabin wasn’t so evil - just dumb and a believer that Arabist U.S. interests would not work against the Jewish State.

So, today with Bush funding and State Department connivance, the Gaza area is going to become a receptacle for every Muslim Arab Terrorist organization from Hamas, PFLP, Al Qaeda, Al Aksa Martyrs’ Brigades, Islamic Jihad....all of whom are connected to Syria and Iran. This area, thanks to Bush and the Sharon gang will become the most powerful, far-reaching base for organizing Global Terrorism. Bush may very well be chopping wood at his ranch and Sharon, under the care of nurses at his Sycamore Ranch when the Gaza Base becomes fully operational. (Note! I foresee a game plan to push the E.U./NATO troops into Gaza to control the Terrorists but, they will inevitably end up fighting Israel.

By that time the U.S. and Eurabia should have experienced one or more of those Islamic bombs that devastate some of our cities in the Free World. Then we will have another 9/11 Committee, possibly led by someone like retired Congressman Lee Hamilton reiterating that "we must reach out to the Muslims so they will appreciate our democracy and understand that we only want peace".

Similarly, as the Katyushas missiles and Qassem Rockets hurl into Israeli cities, Sharon and his collaborators may have to face a Peoples’ Tribunal for the massive casualties for which they are responsible. A Peoples’ Court may not be satisfied with merely imprisoning the enablers and may want a more fitting end to those who conspired with foreign governments to end the State of Israel or, if not end, to put it up as a protectorate as a mere sliver of land under the U.N. or perhaps the U.S. as her guardians.

Of course, there is always the possibility that the invisible G-d of the Jews may choose to say "Enough!" and bring down His Fist on the anvil of the world.

There is much truth and fair comment in Emanuel A. Winston's article, but his cynicism for Israeli leaders is palpable and I think misguided.

Whether it was Carter, Clinton or now Bush, each has found himself reaching for the brass ring of of being the one to bring about peace between Palestinians and Israelis in particular and thereby establish his legacy for all time.

The pursuit of peace between Palestinians and the Israelis is not a singular one, but necessarily must be part of a greater goal and strategy for American influence throughout the Middle East, not the least of which is to ensure stability politically and economically.

The world has allowed itself to become in many ways an oil based economy. Europe's interests are very dependent on that economic stability being maintained, including the huge economic benefits that it has garnered for itself by close ties with the oil producing nations. To avoid jeopardizing those relations and the benefits derived, Europe generally supports all the Arab nations in their support of Palestinians and condmenations of Israel. To add to the complexity is Europe seeks its own place of importance on the world stage and therefor has an established track record of contrarianism when it comes to America advancing its own interests. France in particular seeks to be a major player to share the stage with the U.S.

America's efforts at being the peace broker between Palestinians and Israelis and maintain its major role in the Middle East, cannot be unilateral. America tries mightily to gain European support for its Israel-Palestinian peace efforts and to do that, must accomodate European and Arab interests, which in many instances goes against America's grain, but it does so anyway if it sees it can still get to where it wants to go.

America has been Israel's best friend and largest benefactor. America has tremendous clout in influencing, pressuring and ultimately shaping Israeli policies and it is apparent that America has used that clout against Israel in pursuit of its own goals in the Middle East.

It is with that in mind that I believe Mr. Winston is being unfair and unrealistic to brand Sharon and other Israeli leaders as being almost akin to traitors to Israeli interests, who will ultimately be responsible once the advantages Israel has given up to the Palestinians, will one day come back in the form of deadly rockets raining down on and devastating Israel.

It is inconceivable that Israeli leaders have given up so much, without great pressure being exerted on it by American pressure and the world and that pressure twistede Israel's arms to the breaking point.

Mr. Winston's dire warning that Israeli's compromises will come back to haunt Israel does have some basis in reality however and if it does, maybe America will realize before it is too late that it is morally responsible for having forced Israel to pay far too much for America's pursuit of peace and its own prestige and will reverse its policies in that regard by heeding Israel's interests in security and survival above the petty Jew hating interests of the Arab world and the Palestinians.

Excellent anaslyis Bill. I too feel that Winston is a little over the top. You've struck the right balance.
