Why Condolences?
Summary ... To offer condolences to those who call evil good is to perpetuate evil. Woe unto those who do so.
Upon the death of Yasir Arafat, [U.S.] President George W. Bush declared, "We express our condolences to the Palestinian people."
Why condolences? Would it be appropriate to offer condolences to the German people upon the death of Adolph Hitler? Must not the German people be held responsible for the election and monstrous crimes of that tyrant? Must not the same be said of their Arab successors, who call themselves called "Palestinians"? Are they not responsible for the election and monstrous crimes of Yasir Arafat?
Ponder the words of Albert Einstein::
"The Germans as an entire people are responsible for the mass murders and must be punished as a people if there is justice in the world and if the consciousness of collective responsibility in the nations is not to perish from the earth entirely. Behind the Nazi party stands the German people, who elected Hitler after he had in his book [Mein Kampf] and in his speeches made his shameful [genocidal] intentions clear beyond the possibility of misunderstanding."
Were not Yasir Arafat's genocidal intentions toward the Jews of Israel also "clear beyond the possibility of misunderstanding"? Did he not repeatedly declare Jihad against Israel since the day he signed the Israel-PLO Declaration of Principles of September 13, 1993? Was this not clear beyond the possibility of misunderstanding to the Arabs who nonetheless elected him as their Fuhrer?
Is it not clear beyond the possibility of misunderstanding that poll after poll of these Arabs reveals their desire to destroy Israel? Is it not clear beyond the possibility of misunderstanding that these Arabs glorify the suicide bombers who have reduced Jewish men, women, and children to body parts? Is it not clear beyond the possibility of misunderstanding that these Arabs teach their children to emulate these murderers?
Must they not therefore be held collectively responsible for the brutal murder of Jews perpetrated by Arafat's despotic government, the "Palestinian Authority"? And must they not be punished, as Einstein said of the German people, "if there is justice in the world and if the consciousness of collective responsibility in the nations is not to perish from the earth entirely"?
So why offer these Arabs condolences on the demise of their leader, Yasir Arafat? Should they be filled with grief and therefore truly mourn the passing of this thug — who robbed them blind and brought them only poverty, death, and destruction?
And what of the nations that have honored this thug? The honor they bestowed upon him while he lived and now upon his passing, despite his countless crimes against humanity, starkly reveals the depravity of mankind. Because they honored this villain while he lived, they cannot remove the stain of their own shamelessness, and so they must honor his corpse and thus persist in their shamelessness.
One last word: To offer condolences to those who call evil good is to perpetuate evil. Woe unto those who do so.

Where is the Outrage?
Former Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion once noted that as long as Members of the Knesset are not individually elected, they are not accountable to the voters and the Government can choose to ignore public opinion. This is exactly what happened under the Ariel Sharon government and is happening now under the regime of Benjamin Netanyahu. It was not until he was elected that Netanyahu endorsed an Arab state carved out of Judea and Samaria.
Is There an Urgency to Resolve the Palestinian-Israel Conflict?
Is there really a rush to create an Arab terrorist state from the midst of Israel? The Israelis have never said they are in a hurry. Have the Arabs stated they are in a hurry? No, in fact, their words and actions have shown quite the opposite. So then why is the Obama administration in such a hurry?
A Jewish Response to Barack Obama's Cairo Speech
On June 4, 2009, US President Barack Obama delivered a speech in Cairo, Egypt that contained a distorted view of the Jewish people's historical ties to the land of their forefathers, the land of Israel. This video by the Temple Institute in Jerusalem is a response to that speech.

Has Netanyahu's "Demilitarized State" Ploy Opened a Pandora's Box?
It seems that Netanyahu's use of the term "demilitarized state" in his recent speech at Bar-Ilan University has opened a flood gate of ideas by which the Obama administration will be able to divide up and distribute the Land of Israel to all of Israel' enemies. Perhaps that was the original intention when the concept was first put forth.
The War Of Words That Israel Must Start Winning
Why doesn't Israel take a page out of the Arab playbook? The world is bombarded with images of wounded Gazan children so why then aren't there any images of Jewish children as they lay injured on the ground following an Arab terrorist attack? It's time to play by some of the same rules as the Arabs, unpalatable though they may be at times. And, while we're at it, let's reclaim the word 'Zionist'. It's not a dirty word. A Zionist is simply anyone who supports Israel's right to exist.
Netanyahu's Two State Final Solution
In Netanyahu's recent speech, although he stated during his campaign he wouldn't, he made it clear that he wants to divide up the land of Israel and give it to Israel's enemies. At first he appeared to be standing up to the United States, but it soon became evident that he was doing the work of Obama himself.
In Depth Analysis
Are the Israel Settlements in Judea and Samaria Illegal?
The issue of Jerusalem is particularly sensitive and a topic of dispute in every negotiation. Distortions, half-truths, and outright lies by its enemies seem to be a part of Israel's struggle for Jerusalem. However, the truth is that since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, and even prior to that, Israel's rights to sovereignty in Jerusalem were firmly anchored in history and international law. These 10 points are important to know with regard to the struggle over Jerusalem.
What the BBC and The Guardian Never Tell You
It's no secret that the mainstream media plays down Israeli casualties in the ongoing Arab-Israel war. And there are times when the losses suffered by Israel are low, and this can be attributed to one thing: the God of Israel. However, while exaggerating the number of Arab casualties, the media makes it seem as if Israel must be doing something immoral or illegal because it didn't suffer as many casualties as the Arabs. The truth is, Israel has suffered more than its share of casualties.
The Myth of 'Occupied' Territories
To determine the true legal status of the area known as Yesha (Judea, Samaria and Gaza), it is important to understand the different types of UN resolutions. Once this is understood, it becomes clear there is no such thing as the Israeli-occupied territories. (If anything, they are actually Arab-occupied territories.)

The History and Meaning of "Palestine" and "Palestinians"
Palestine has never existed . . . as an autonomous entity. There is no language known as Palestinian. There is no distinct Palestinian culture. There has never been a land known as Palestine governed by Palestinians. Palestinians are Arabs.
The Moslem Claim to Jerusalem is False
Is there any foundation to the Moslem argument that this "furthest mosque" (Al-Masujidi al-Aqtza) refers to what is today called the Aksa Mosque in Jerusalem? The answer is, none whatsoever.
The Mythical Moderate Muslim
The moderate Muslim, along with the Big Foot, the unicorn, the Loch Ness monster, remains more elusive than a cure for cancer: there is at least a theoretical possibility that a cure for cancer can be found one day, unless of course Islam takes over and drags us all down into its own endless Dark Ages.
