Israel says it is going to expel Yassir Arafat from the territories… sometime in the near future. This is wrong. Not because Arafat deserves to remain on Israeli soil but because Arafat, and those surrounding him in Ramallah (who are sure to follow him into exile), deserve to be dead.

I, along with many others, have long maintained that there will never be a negotiated peace in Israel. This is because each side has core demands which are unacceptable to the other: Israelis say that they wish to go on living. The Palestinians disagree.

In other words, we will only see a real peace in the Middle East when one side has utterly destroyed the other. In a war where one side is implacably determined to annihilate and exterminate the other it is insane to expect the side targeted for destruction to make compromises. I suspect that most Israelis would happily turn over the West Bank and Gaza if they thought it would make any difference. Except we all know that it would not. Suddenly the Arabs would have new territorial demands, new monetary demands: and those demands would be eagerly backed up by the rest of the Muslim world, the United Nations, the European Union, and many millions of terrorist-sympathizers here in the United States.

Really, this conflict doesn’t have much to do with Israel at all. Egypt and Jordan controlled the land upon which a supposed ‘Palestinian State’ is going to be built for two decades and did exactly nothing with it. Palestinians are still living in refugee camps more than five decades after they were displaced in an Arab war of aggression because their ‘brother’ Arabs and Moslems care for them as nothing except as a prop to be used against Israel. The real reason for the constant stream of anti-Israeli hate coming out of the Middle East is the need of Arabs and Moslems throughout the world to explain away their own failures and find an outlet to direct their own aggression. Of the ongoing armed conflicts in the world today virtually all of them involve members of the Islamic faith attempting to kill and conquer people of other faiths or, when such people are not available, fighting amongst themselves. This is about the failure of Moslems and Arabs to deal with the failure of their own societies.

Hitherto, Israel has shown great restraint in its dealings with the Palestinians: even with the most hardened of terrorists. This must stop now. The policy of targeted assassinations must be expanded to cover all known members of and collaborators with Hamas, Fatah, Islamic Jihad, the PFLP, and the other terror groups. Israel’s efforts to avoid civilian losses, which have been admirable, must be abandoned in favor of a new policy geared towards generating the greatest possible terrorist body count in the shortest possible period of time. Israeli must, for the time being, abandon all feelings of mercy towards the Palestinian people: in three years of war the people of the so-called ‘Palestinian territories’ have made no effort to restrain or stop the all-out campaign of murder launched against the Israeli people by their leaders: now they must reckon the price of their crimes.

Israel’s war is the same as our war. They are fighting the same enemy and, therefore, they must adopt the same tactics. There can be no reasoning with the Islamist, for his creed is fundamentally irrational. Contrary to popular opinion, there can be no compromise with terrorists, for the only ‘good’ terrorist is a terrorist with a bullet in his brain. The only way to stop the enemy is to kill him in great numbers. We must make the enemy wade waist-deep in the blood of his comrades, and then we must blow him to hell.

Now, it is all well and good to kill the terrorists. But what comes after that? It must be reluctantly admitted that the transfer of the Palestinian population may be the only possible resolution to this conflict. So long as terrorist-supporting Palestinians are allowed to live in close proximity with Israelis, we will continue to see Israeli citizens slaughtered as they ride their buses, sit in their Pizza parlours, and wait in line at their discos.

Israel must fight a spasm war, killing all of their terrorists and their supporters: and then it must drive the so-called ‘Palestinians’ away from all Israeli cities and settlements. Let them keep their property- pay them for their homes- but get them away from Israeli citizens. It would be ugly: but it may be necessary. By what other humane means shall we deal with a generation raised amid such anti-Semitic hate and incitement?

The United States should not interfere in this in any way. Polls show that the majority of the American people support Israel. I believe that they fully understand that the enemy that Israel is fighting is exactly the same one as America is fighting, even if our foreign policy elites have yet to grasp this simple fact. Only leftists and foreign policy professionals care about what Israel does to the Palestinians: the President, along with all decent and moral Americans, should ignore their idiotic blathering.

Whatever happens, Israel should make no more compromises or withdrawals. All the so-called ‘cease fire’ did was give the terrorists several months to prepare for a new campaign of death. The effect of every concession to date has been an increase in the boldness of the enemy. Every surrender, every retreat, gives courage to the enemy: they convince them that they can win. The price of Oslo is that Israel must now violently disavow themselves of any such notions.
