Froma Harrop, a syndicated columnist, had an op-ed piece in yesterday's Houston Chronicle in which she "agrees with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's view that there will be no peace if Palestinians are shortchanged on territory." Harrop is out of her ever loving mind if she agrees with the inept and discredited Olmert, a crook at that.
Olmert (to whom I've often referred to as "Ehud the Idiot") had an interview last September with the left-wing Israeli daily Yediot Aharonot. As relayed by Harrop, here is what the idiot said: "We must reach an agreement with the Palestinians, meaning a withdrawal from nearly all, if not all, of the (occupied) territories. Some percentage of these territories would remain in our hands, but we must give the Palestinians the same percentage (of territory elsewhere) --- without this, there will be no peace."
And would that withdrawal include parts of Jerusalem? Olmert said, "Including, Jerusalem." His reasoning for giving up East Jerusalem is that if Israel retained all of the city, it would have to absorb another 270,000 Arabs into the country.
Ehud the Idiot's peace plan is a desperate attempt on his part to restore his image, an image badly tarnished by his botched handling of the war with Hezbollah and his recent exposure as a crook. Olmert's peace plan is nothing more than a prescription for the eventual extinction of Israel, as is the "Road Map to Peace," the brainchild of the United Nations, the European Union, Russia and the United States.
Harrop concludes that inorder to achieve peace, "a political solution (to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict) must give Palestinians full control of their space and an approximate return to the borders before the 1967 war. For every square foot they don't get back, they get another square foot from somewhere in Israel. That ultimately has to be the deal, and the violent confrontation in Gaza changes none of it."
The eventual extinction of Israel is the avowed goal of the Palestinian leadership, "moderates" and radicals alike. Harrop's ultimate deal will ensure the eventual disappearance of a Jewish state from the map of the world. I responded to Froma Harrop (fharrop@projo.com) with the following e-mail:
Dear Ms. Harrop
I am sorry to say this, but you must be out of your ever loving mind if you believe that Ehud Olmert's prescription for peace is anything but a plan which will lead to the eventual destruction of the Jewish state.
The Palestinians, both "moderates" and radicals have vowed time after time that their goal is the eventtual elimination of Israel from the world map. The "Road Map to Peace" as envisioned by the United Nations, the European Union, Russia and the United States, is seen by the Palestinians as a mere stepping stone on the road to the extinction of Israel.
Shortly before his death in 2001, Faisal Husseini, a "moderate" Palestinian leader who was a favorite of the Israeli left, gave an interview to Egypt's weekly AL-ARABI in which he stated, "Our final goal is to liberate all of historical Palestine from the river to the sea."
Mahmoud Abbas and other leaders of his Fatah party have repeatedly called for the return of the land occupied by the Israelis. By that they mean not only the occupied West Bank, but also the State of Israel itself.
Abbas speaks with a forked tongue. When speaking in English to American and European audiences, Abbas says he wants two states, Palestine and Israel, existing peacefully side by side. But whenever he speaks in Arabic to the Palestinians and other Jew-hating Arabs, that is a far cry from what he says. Time after time Abbas has made it clear in Arabic that there can be only one state, and that state is Palestine.
For its security and survival, the State of Israel must include its long-time established West Bank settlements. It must enlarge the narrow nine-mile wide neck which places it in danger of being cut in half. It must maintain access to the headwaters of the Jordan River.
And Jerusalem must remain an undivided part of Israel. A Palestinian part of Jerusalem will be a dagger pointed at the heart of the Jewish state. Israel should pay for the relocation to the West Bank of the homes and businesses of Jerusalem's Palestinians.
Ohlmert has been an inept and discredited leader, and a crooked one at that. He is trying desperately to restore his tarnished reputation by proposing his suiciadal peace plans. What part of Israel, a mere fly speck on the world map, would he give to the Palestinians in exchange for the West Bank parts Israel would keep?
I hope the Israelis will have the good sense to chose Bibi Netanyahu in the coming elections. He is the only Israeli leader resolute enough to resist the pressure by the international community for the Jewish state to commit suicide. He will ensure that any peace plan will not leave Israael's security and survival in doubt.
Ms. Harrop, please get real!
Respectfully yours
