What It's Really About
by Yocheved Golani

The defenseless passengers on an Air France plane, a BOAC aircraft, a
Japanese jumbo jet, aboard KLM, Lufthansa, Pan Am, Sabena, TWA and
other airliners were not "occupying" the planes conveying them to
innocuous destinations when Islamic terrorists kidnapped, terrorized
and slaughtered them throughout the 1960s and 1970s. The civilian
victims scattered across the countryside of Lockerbie, Scotland in
1988 had not "occupied" Pan Am 103, either.
Vacationing Christian Puerto Rican tourists weren't "occupying"
Ben-Gurion airport on May 20, 1972. when pro-Islamic terrorists
ambushed and sprayed them with bullets upon arrival.
Sleeping Israeli athletes invited to 1972's peace-promoting
competitions in Munich were not "occupying" the Olympic Village when
Arab radicals besieged and murdered them, disrupting the games
promoting international friendship and trust.
Unarmed children at Ma'alot weren't "occupying" their school the day
Arab terrorists forced them to jump to their deaths from the building
during interrupted celebrations of 1974's Israel Independence Day.
Elderly Dora Bloch and her fellow travelers were not "occupying"
Athens airport in 1976 when Arab terrorists hijacked a planeload of
passengers to Uganda, resulting in Dora's murder and the rescue of her
terrorized former companions.
Wheelchair-bound tourist Leon Klinghoffer was not "occupying" the
Italian ship Achille Lauro when fundamentalist terrorists humiliated,
then drowned the man by throwing him overboard, on October 7, 1985.
Teen hikers Yosef Ish-Ran and Koby Mandell of Biblical Tekoa did not
seek to "occupy" the cave they were dragged to in 2001, and where
their captors bludgeoned them to a terrifying death, then smeared
their blood on the walls.
The employees of various faiths and ethnic backgrounds who reported
for work that day were not "occupying" New York's Twin Towers when
they were shocked, burned, smothered, blasted and shattered to death
by Arab terrorists on September 11, 2001.
Daniel Pearl was not "occupying" Pakistan when he researched the links
between Richard Reed and bin Laden before he was betrayed and beheaded
for being a Jew, and therefore an "enemy" of Islam, in 2002.
Entrepreneur Nicholas Berg was not "occupying" Iraq when Arab
terrorists slowly, agonizingly, carved his Jewish head off his neck
for public intimidation in 2004. The American businessmen murdered in
Saudi Arabia were minding their own business when they were doing
business with Muslim colleagues.
So why are they all dead? Is it truly because the Jews of Israel will
not cede land to the rabble that, prevented by their compatriots from
returning to their native countries in 1948, now fraudulently claim to
be Palestinians? No. There are two glaring contradictions to the
specious argument.
One: In 1948, Arab leaders wouldn't permit Arabs unwilling to live
among Jews to live in any Arab state. The artificially created
refugees were used and abused by their own brethren as violent
political pawns against a nascent Israel.
Two: Sharon promised in June 2004 to "evacuate" disputed land before
2005. Within hours of that announcement, Yasser Arafat and Hamas
respectively swore to annihilate and kidnap/murder military and
civilian Jews. Clearly, the problem is not about "giving back" land,
which never legitimately belonged to Arabs anyway.
The chaos, murder and mayhem are not about the merits or demerits of
democracy, the West or Christianity, or international law. It's not
about the Jews "controlling" the very same "media" that incongruously
condemns Judaism, its practices and the Knesset. It's not about Israel
inside or outside red, green, yellow or blue lines. It's not about the
Israeli Right, or Jewish settlers (they'd be called "citizens" in any
other society that inherited, purchased, won and/or annexed land).
It's not about present-day Israel versus the borders of ancient
Israel, nor about the alleged occupation of Arab lands.
It is about armed insanity, the calculated manipulation of public
opinion via propaganda, coercion and attacks against unarmed civilians
and their political leaders. And the scale of horror stands to rise
now that Iran has saluted the world with a nuclear arms program.
A mutual and implacable enemy is closing in on Jews, Israel, their
supporters and all non-Muslims. That same enemy makes global headlines
as it strikes increasing numbers of far-flung, far-fetched targets.
It's the same enemy that sends journalists, essential personnel in
freedom-loving societies, home in coffins and into the headlines (see
Reporters Without Borders).
It's not about the best place to be a reporter. It's about the worst
places for access to the truth, where individual freedoms such as
yours are routinely denied, and about the existence of a centuries-old
opposition to non-Muslim social structures.
It's about the antipathy of the murderous culture, of which the Abu
Sayyaf is a member, that stole missionaries like Martin and Gracia
Burnham from civilization, altering their lives and those of many of
their colleagues, forever. It's about a heartless social system that
steals property, pillaging and maiming females, children, the elderly
and anyone else caught in the merciless trap of savages preying on the
defenseless.
It's about a people that cannot appreciate the noble intentions and
efforts that non-Muslims made to rebuild an Iraq nearly bereft of all
necessary resources. It is about an alleged spirituality that shuns
kindness, takes no prisoners, brooks no negotiations, accepts no
limits, respects no property lines, and preaches murder and mayhem.
It's about warped minds preying on the physically unprepared, hoping
that they are also mentally vulnerable.
It's about Koran-thumping barbarians who scorn life, who value death
above life and live in opposition to peace-loving societies. Islam
seeks to place its claws and poison into any target of opportunity,
wherever it may be and whenever an opportunity is available. It's
about bloodthirsty monsters abusing an UNRWA (United Nations Relief
and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees) ambulance to transport
terrorists (a technique used with civilian and specially commissioned
emergency medical vehicles in the past) and to steal the body parts of
slain Israeli soldiers in May 2004.
The numbers of Arabs residing within European Union nations gives rise
to the question, "How many of them are functioning as enemies of their
host countries?" The EU Monitoring System on Racism and Xenophobia
declined to release its damning 2004 report regarding manifestations
of Islamic antipathy within the EU to date. Holland tops the list at
www.jihadwatch.org. Spain, which has "occupied" its real estate for
centuries, cowered and ran from the enemy after it stung a railroad.
Israel's government, an EU wannabe, is retreating in fear (Mitzpeh
Yitzhar was dismantled in May 2004 and much more land is similarly
endangered), fomenting a civil war between its patriotic citizens and
those willing to shed their Jewish identities. As the Coalition Forces
indicate their willingness to withdraw from Iraq, they've also served
notice that intimidation works, especially with Sarin.
Study the unsuspecting faces staring at you form the latest update
about kidnapped and/or murdered foreign executives in Arab lands.
Consider the latest color-coded update for the US Homeland Security
alert.
Watch the seven-veiled danse macabre sure to play out before, after
and during the 2004 Olympic Games: the deft manipulation of public
opinion veil; the deceit practiced in the UN and other halls of
international compromise veil; the priorities leading to the exchange
of oil for food, and of innocent lives for the whims of heartless
thugs veil; the equally expressed contempt for the lives of
compatriots and foreigners veil; the endangerment to global welfare
veil; the "we did it because we're pathological but we're blaming it
all on the Jews" veil.
Realize what it's really about. Take preventive action before the
problem reaches for you and the space you happen to be "occupying." Be
forewarned, and forearmed, regarding the annihilation that the
scorpion intends for you.
