P.M. Netanyahu's Speech in the UN was brilliant in rhetoric as usual. He feels most at ease when delivering speeches from the UN
podium. This time he used a 44 second "silence mode" gimmick to
illustrate a very relevant point of the UN delegates' silence and inaction when
it comes to their indifference to the bloody massacres and genocide in Syria,
Iraq, and Yemen. The unnecessary loss of life and cruelties of the murderous
Islamist groups such as Daesh (ISIS) and others is treated with total UN
delegate apathy. The number of people that lost their lives there over a short
period of time is far greater than all Israelis and Palestinians killed in the
Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.
The UN is busy bashing Israel rather than passing effective resolutions
to end the bloody massacres and human cruelties committed there. The speech was
mostly devoted to condemning the Anti-Nuclear Treaty recently signed and
supported by the EU and P5. So far, so good! There is sense in what Netanyahu stated. However,
is that enough? We have a reality that he purposely overlooked - the increasing
Palestinian violence in Jerusalem. Here there is further hate, stone throwing
as well as Molotov cocktails and further
violence in the West Bank that has a danger of deterioration into a third
intifada with further loss of life on both sides.
His speech presented nothing new. No foresight, no hope and not even a
hint of opening new avenues to end the tragic conflict. It was the usual
diatribe on emphasis of the evil Iranian regime and its dangers to the world.
Despite the valid points he made, more emphasis should have been made on
solving the conflict with new ideas.
The violence in Jerusalem seems to be getting out of hand. The
"band aid" technique of retaliating against Palestinian violence by
the Security Forces is not stopping the violence. President Mahmoud Abbas has
no power base and does not represent his Palestinian People. We must remember
that Abbas was not elected and his strength lies in the support that he gets
from the US and even Israel that uses him. How can there ever be negotiations
for peace when the Palestinian Authority has Hamas and Palestinian Jihadis
breathing down Abbas's neck and never allowing him to sign a treaty with
Israel. If Abbas signs a treaty with Israel, he will be assassinated, so his
anti-Israel showmanship in rhetoric will not change. It is a vicious circle.
Abbas can deliver addresses as much as he wishes but we must remember
that he is an empty vessel that makes a lot of sound. If he ceases to cooperate
with Israel on security matters as he threatens, the West Bank will slip into
violence and his shaky position will be weakened even further. He knows that.
He also threatens to take Israel to the International Court of Justice for
Israel's treatment of the Palestinians. These utterances of his are part of his
fantasies and it will not strengthen him or the Palestinian Authority. OK! So
the Palestinian flag is flying with the other flags at the UN. This is a boost
to their ego but nothing more than that. A flag does not make an independent
state.
There are no partners on both sides to end the Palestinian - Israeli
Conflict. New solutions must be found. Maybe a Marshall-type plan such as the
Bermigo Plan should be given more serious thought as this could be the basis of
a solution. Nothing else has worked and this plan should be investigated as a
possible solution. It is complicated but not impossible.
A new round of Palestinian violence has begun. Stabbing of innocent
people in Jerusalem, increased stabbing attacks against security forces in
various towns in Israel, violent demonstrations by Arab citizens of Israel,
accompanied by pelting of stones, Molotov cocktails, as well as general unrest
has become the order of the day. Added to this is sporadic rocket fire in the
south from Gaza, with movement of the Iron Dome defense system to areas
vulnerable to rocket attacks.
Jerusalem has become a battleground with flare ups occurring in many
parts of Israel close to the Arab villages. There does not seem to be any
cessation of violence. No town in Israel is immune from Palestinian savagery, and, it is just that. The talk that the Palestinians are frustrated because of
the Israeli Occupation is nothing more than hogwash. These unadulterated claims
by Palestinian pundits to justify stabbings of innocent people ought to be
treated with the contempt that it deserves. These humanists are conspicuous by
their silence when it comes to condemning the atrocities committed by Daesh and
the other caliphate toting Islamists against Muslims and non-Muslims alike.
The violence seems to be getting out of hand and the government does not
seem to have any strategy to contain the violence or reach a long term solution
to the conflict. All doors of negotiation seems to be closing (not that the two
sides to the conflict had any desire to end the conflict anyway) and the
violence is becoming uncontrollable.
It all started with the imaginary Palestinian claim that Israel is out
to destroy the Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. The Palestinians have been
stockpiling crude weapons in the Al Aqsa Mosque - rocks, pipe bombs for the
purpose of creating and fomenting violence against Israelis. The claim by the
Palestinian Leadership that Israel is determined to destroy the Al Aqsa Mosque
is a huge lie if not a figment of the imagination with no basis. This is not a
new phenomenon on the Palestinian side. They have an ingrained habit of living
in a fantasy world of lies and delusions of grandeur that is self-destructive
and suicidal. They believe that if you tell a lie often enough, it becomes the
truth. These savages stab and kill, claiming that they are carrying out Allah's
will. Many of these savages are not even believers, but are brainwashed by
Palestinian terrorist groups to kill Israelis at every opportunity. Hardly a
day goes by without a stabbing or brutal killing authorized by these evil
Palestinian terrorist groups whose aims are in tune with ISIS.
While Israel bashing goes on in the UN and its failure to pass any
resolution condemning ISIS will only weaken this body even further as it
panders to the terrorist savagery in the name of Islam by its apathy.
