This is Israeli mind once again on parade. What Israel might do is adopt the policy that counters this practice of boasting of its concern for the enemy. By contrast Israel might announce that within two, say, three Israel will sever all ties with the Strip. No more convoys of commodities. No more electricity.

Three years and then no more – which should allow the entire planet that cares so much for these people to organize to take Israel’s place as suppliers of commodities and electricity, etc.

Israel might announce these are Arabs have brethren who are multi-zillionaires and have the wherewithal to support them.

Israel might say that those who see in Gaza an outdoor prison are absolutely right – only it is not Israel that is keeping these people penned up. It is their Arab brethren who refuse to give these people citizenship, especially Egypt, for it was Egypt’s military invasion of the new State of Israel in 1948 which sparked the flight of the original 200,000 in the vicinity along the coast who ran behind Egyptian lines and wound up in the UNRWA camps.

Gaza today is home to 1.4 million people, 70% on UNRWA welfare rolls, and the only reason they are there is their brethren want them there.

Instead, Israel’s Foreign Ministry whines that Israel does too care for the welfare of the people in Gaza.

It is the sickness of the Israeli mind, like that on display in Livni and Peres, obsessed with being loved by the enemy whom Israel must placate if there is to be peace.

What provincials these post-Jews are. In every generation a free people must preserve its freedom against those determined to take it from them. Livni’s fantasy of a world without Arab animosity toward Israel is functionally messianic, actually pseudo-messianic.

When the republic of the United States opened for business in 1789 under the new Constitution, it had three departments only besides the executive. The State Department, headed by Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson and like maybe four clerks; a treasury department employing a thousand tax collectors; and a department of war. It was a given that if the new country was to survive, it needed a defense establishment. Independence did not mean peace but an eternal vigil to keep it. And there has been no generation since then without US forces fighting and dying somewhere.

The problem with these Israelis is their adolescent fantasy of a peace in which the Arabians no longer envy us and no longer snarl at us and threaten us. That will come but when is anyone’s guess, and until it does, the road to peace is paradoxically always to be ready for war and to assume and plan for the worst case scenario. Barak, Peres, Livni & Co. are simply fools.

Today Israel began a five-day exercise country-wide in the event we are showered with missiles and hundreds of thousands of Jews lose their homes…
