Gaza to Egypt and West Bank to Jordan:
Will it Bring Israeli Security?
John R. Houk
© January 29, 2009
The Leslie J. Sacks blog sent a Daniel Pipes essay pertaining to the Land of Israel and the Arabs that call themselves Palestinians.
The flash summary of the essay is that Israel remains a sovereign nation and the Arabs that call themselves Palestinians become part of Egypt and Jordan respectively.
For me this is something I have been advocating for a long time; however Pipes’ implication is that the West Bank (Judea and Samaria to Israel) be given to Jordan and Gaza be given to Egypt.
The thinking is that Egypt and Jordan are not adversarial with Israel any longer by virtue of recognizing the existence of the Jewish State and establishing diplomatic relations.
Let’s be frank though: All the past wars that Israel has won have centered around three central foes – Syria, Egypt and Jordan.
America’s hyperpower status has been a little tarnished by the humbling of economic factors and a lack of tenacious purpose that is supposed to be the end result of all wars – strategy to total victory.
There is an Islamic mindset of peace with the kafir only as long as dar al-Islam is weaker, then if there is a perception of dar al-Islam strength the peace is thrown out in order to throw the out kafir.
Frankly I believe the Arabs that call themselves Palestinians will still be agitated toward the Land of Israel even though they may have been matriculated back into Arab sovereignty. I suspect that agitation will again light the fire of passion amongst the Egyptian and Jordanian masses to wipe Israel off the map for the sake of dar al-Islam.
So here’s thing: Gaza is such a speck of land I believe Israel could defend an Egyptian border as well as the present time. On the other hand, returning the West Bank to Arab sovereignty will leave Israel security as vulnerable as it was to invasion prior to 1967. AND I have not even mentioned the Golan Heights which Syria lost due to one of their invasions to drive Israel into the sea.
Of all the peace pursuits that have been on the table, Daniel Pipes’ idea does seem the most practical; however I am what may be called a Christian Zionist. I strongly believe it is robbing Israel of its Biblical heritage by giving up the West Bank. You see the Arab view of the West Bank would include the Eastern part of Jerusalem liberated from Arab (i.e. Jordanian) control after the 1967 war (Six Day War) to drive Jews into the sea. The Jewish claim to the entirety of Jerusalem is paramount and above any mythology developed by Muslims to assuage Islam.
The Land is Israel’s!

There is a common misconception among pro-Arab American Intelligence advisors that the hatred that exists between Sunni (90%) Muslims and Shia (10%) Muslims is so horrendous that the extremists in both Mohammedan sects would never cooperate with each other.
This is the kind of advice President Elect Obama is receiving.
Steve Schippert writing for the NRO blog the tank has information that will demonstrate this is yet another PC Islamic myth.

The next time Barack Hussein Obama says he was unaware that Bill Ayers or Bernardine Dohrn were murdering thug Communist terrorists homegrown in an America and hate the American way of life, KNOW THAT BHO IS LYING!
The next time someone asks BHO or one of his Campaign spokesman when there was awareness that Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn were murdering terrorists and you read or hear this answer (or a combination of answers): I was eight years old when the Ayers and Dohrn were terrorists or Let’s talk about the economy instead because that is more relevant than the character of people in my early days of politics or I never knew until recently Ayers was a terrorist or Let’s not talk about Ayers being a terrorist, lets talk about John McCain being one of the Keating Five.
Then KNOW that Barack Hussein Obama is dodging a truthful answer and is liar particularly when Campaign surrogates say the lie “Asked and answered.” The Ayers connection has been asked a plethora of times and answered with mystifying non-corroborated denials and a tap dance of obfuscation.JRH 10/9/08

Meet Some More of Barack Obama’s Political Mentors:
Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn
Traditional Values Coalition
October 8, 2008
“What a country [America]. It makes me want to puke.” – Bill Ayers, 2001
“I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough.” – Bill Ayers, Sept. 11, 2001
CAUTION: Some of this content may be offensive.
October 8, 2008 – During the last few months, TVC has been reporting on
Senator Barack Obama’s political allies and his political views. This is
another in this ongoing series.
Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn
are unrepentant domestic terrorists. During the 1970s, they were part
of the Weatherman, a Communist splinter group of Students for a
Democratic Society.
In his biography, Fugitive Days, Ayers brags about his
involvement in bombing the New York City Police Headquarters in 1970,
the U.S. Capitol Building in 1971 and the Pentagon in 1972. Ayers
described the day he bombed the
Pentagon with these words:
“Everything was absolutely ideal. … The sky was blue. The birds were
singing. And, the bastards were finally going to get what was coming to
them.” Dohrn is as heartless as her husband.
During one anti-war rally, she praised the Manson family for murdering
Sharon Tate and others: “Dig it. First they killed those pigs, then
they ate dinner in the same room with them. They even shoved a fork into
the victim’s stomach! Wild!” At another rally, Dohrn said: “Bring the
revolution home, kill your parents – that’s where it’s at.”
Ayers, Dohrn and the Weatherman were responsible for 30 bombings around
the country. He and his wife spent the next 10 years as fugitives from
the FBI. In 1980, they surrendered to authorities, but all charges were
dropped against them due to improper surveillance.
Where are Ayers and Dohrn today? Bill Ayers is the “Distinguished
Professor of Education and Senior University Scholar at the University
of Illinois in Chicago. He instructs teachers how to indoctrinate
children with liberal ideals.
Bernardine Dohrn
is the Director of Children and Family Justice Center at the
Northwestern University, a law professor at Northwestern University Law
School.
Obama Gets His Start In Ayers’ Home
Although Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) initially told reporters that Ayers
was just a guy who lived in the same neighborhood – and that he barely
knew him – facts have emerged showing this to be untrue.
It now appears that Obama has known Ayers and Dohrn
since at least 1987. Ayers was an activist at the time with the
Alliance for Better Chicago Schools, and Obama’s Developing Communities
Project was a member of this leftist alliance.
There are also possible connections between Obama and Dohrn through the
law firm of Sidley & Austin. Dohrn was at this firm from 1984-1988.
Michelle Obama
also worked at Sidley & Austin, beginning in 1988. She met Barack
at Sidley & Austin when he came on as a summer associate.
In 1995, Obama was introduced to Ayers and Dohrn by Illinois state Senator Alice Palmer
who had hand-picked Obama to replace her in the Senate. Palmer was a
well-known Communist sympathizer and decades-long supporter of the
Soviet Union.
Ayers and Dohrn held Obama’s first political fundraiser in their living room to help launch his political career.
In addition, Bill Ayers founded the Chicago Annenberg Challenge Foundation,
and Obama became the chairman of the board of this group only months
after his first run for political office. While serving on this
foundation, Ayers and Obama distributed millions of dollars for
educational projects. Ayers described his views on education as socialist indoctrination in an interview he gave to the Communist publication, Revolution
in October, 2006. Ayers says that education can’t be separated from
politics – and applauded John Dewey’s socialist policies that have so
greatly influenced public education.
In 1997, Obama’s wife Michelle invited Ayers
to be on a panel discussing racism and the juvenile justice system.
Ayers was joined on the panel by Barack Obama, a senior lecturer at the
time at the University of Chicago law school. Michelle was working as
Associate Dean of Student Services and Director of the University
Community Service Center.
The Obama-Ayers-Dohrn connection extends to their involvement in the Woods Fund of Chicago.
This foundation is involved in community organizing, arts and culture
and working with low-income individuals and housing issues. This
multi-million dollar enterprise is aided by grants from numerous leftist
foundations, including the infamous Tides Foundation, Trinity United Church of Christ (where Obama attended church for 20 years), and ACORN, the notorious corrupt organization that routinely engages in voter fraud – and was involved with Obama in forcing banks to make risky loans to unqualified applicants.
Obama’s Palestinian Terrorist Friend
Ayers is a board member of the Woods Fund and Obama also served on the
board. In 2002, the fund gave a grant to the Northwestern University
Law School Children and Family Justice Center where Ayers’ wife,
Bernadine, was employed.
Also serving on the Woods Fund board was a Palestinian activist named
Rashid Khalidi, who is now a Columbia University professor. Khalidi was the former spokesman for Islamic terrorist Yasser Arafat.
Khalidi was instrumental in having Iranian’s tyrannical president,
Mahoud Ahmadinejad, come to Columbia University last year to give his
anti-American, anti-Israel speech.
Obama and his wife Michelle and Khalidi and his wife were close friends.
Leaders of this foundation donated more than $24,000 to Obama’s
political campaign in Illinois.
Obama once said of Khalidi and the meals and discussions they shared
together were “consistent reminders to me of my own blind spots and my
own biases. … It’s for that reason that I’m hoping that, for many years
to come, we continue that conversation — a conversation that is
necessary not just around Mona and Rashid’s dinner table,” but around
“this entire world.”
Khalidi is rabidly anti-Israel
and repeatedly accuses American officials of being “Zionist” stooges.
He once called Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz “a fanatical,
extreme right-wing Zionist.”
Khalidi believes Israel is not a democratic ally of America but an “apartheid system in creation” and a destructive “racist” state.
“Why Obama pals around with domestic and international terrorists and
calls them his friends raises serious questions about his loyalties and
judgment to lead this nation,” said TVC Executive Director Andrea
Lafferty. “Voters should seriously consider the character issue when
they vote in November.”

Barack Hussein Obama does NOT want you to see.
It is common knowledge in the America that Iran and Syria are rogue nations that do little to hide the fact they aid transnational terrorists and Palestinian/Arab terrorists with military and financial aid.
Now many Western democracies may shun from the direct accusation of calling the Islamofascist twins “rogue” nations however that is due to the dhimmitude fears of an oil economy rather than the facts that are known.
The surprising thing is that American media hesitates to expose a nation on this dear planet as a rogue nation – the Peoples Republic of China (aka Red China or Communist China). China is the very place that is home to this year to the quadrennial Olympics.
I suspect the lack of reporting on the nefarious activities of Red China may be varied. Here are a few inexhaustive thoughts for American media cowardice.
· The Mainstream Media is Leftist oriented and Red China is definitely a Leftwing (although becoming more fascist/socialist) Communist dictatorship.
· Red China has a booming economy in which capitalist nations and corporations are investing a big stake.
· Red China has the largest military in terms of active personnel in the world and GlobalFirePower.com gives China a global ranking of THREE behind number two Russia followed by number one America.
There probably are other mitigating circumstances for the lack of reporting, but those three come to mind.
America is currently involved in a Global War on Terror (GWOT) which the Western Leftists has relatively forced to be fought in Afghanistan and Iraq and NO WHERE else. I say no where else because Islamofascist terrorist organizations like Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad and entities of the umbrella organization the PLO have all been involve in American assets even before 9/11. The murdering terrorist organizations I just mentioned combined are radical Islamic and Islamic thugs that sincerely support a Palestinian State and some simply operate thug operations closer to a Mafioso organization. In either case these Palestinian/Arab radical Muslims have one aim: the extermination of Jewish Israel and knocking chunks of armor out of Israel’s primary ally America.
So why should we classify Red China as a rogue nation supporting transnational Islamic terrorism?
Red China bank branches in America have been used to transfer the big bucks to Hamas and Islamic Jihad between 2004 and 2007. Three years is NOT a mere clerical oversight. This was a transaction that was allowed clandestinely with the purpose of financing the interests of Palestinian Terrorists. These are the very terrorists with the sole aim of wiping Israel and Jewry of the Middle Eastern map and killing Americans because America supports the existence of Israel.
Terror Victims Sue Bank Of China for Ties with Hamas
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu

Arutz Sheva – IsraelNationalNews.com
More than 100 victims and relatives of targets of Arab terrorist attacks have filed an historic suit in Los Angeles against the Bank of China, which transferred hundreds of millions of dollars to Hamas and Islamic Jihad between 2004 and 2007. The suit, filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court Thursday, details how the bank wired money through its American branches to an account in China used by the terrorist groups.
Israeli counterterrorist personnel met with Chinese officials in 2005 to demand it cease from transferring more money, but the bank, with the approval of the Chinese government, continued to wire money for Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
Among the victims and families whose attorneys filed the criminal and civil suits are the parents of four-year-old Afik Zahavi, who was killed four years ago in a Kassam rocket attack on Sderot as he returned home from a pre-school facility.
Other plaintiffs include the families of two men who were murdered in a suicide bombing at an Eilat bakery last year. Attorney Nitsana Darshan-Leitner charged that the Bank of China "even had the chutzpah to make these funds transfers through its U.S. branches right under the nose of the Justice Department, despite the fact that Hamas and the Palestine Islamic Jihad are designated terrorist organizations and that such wire transfers are a crime under American law. We expect the Bank of China to now pay very heavily for its support for terrorism."
Ohhhhhhhhh yeah! That makes Red China a rogue nation. We should respect Red China like we tell our children to respect the danger of a plug-in socket; however America should not shirk its responsibility of this threat to Americans by this new joint Communist/Islamist venture.
The American MSM and the American government should be making some very public noise about this. By not addressing this issue we are showing China and the Islamist terrorists we are the weak-kneed Americans they believe us to be.

I have been a huge President Bush supporter almost to the bitter end. For real, I have been! Even now I support Bush’s decision to go after terrorists in foreign nations: Lead in – Afghanistan and Iraq.
Then something happened and I am not really sure what it was. I know it has something to do with a cabal of media hatred, Democratic Party/Lefty hatred, inter-Administration bureaucratic hatred (e.g. State Department & CIA), European democracies hatred, Arabic hatred and probably some other hatred I forgot to mention or I am unaware of. I am guessing with so much hatred a politician must feel an urge to compromise somewhere.
It is in that seeming compromise on how to win the War on Terror that has turned me into a non-Bush supporter or at least a cherry picking supporter.
One absurdity of the Bush Doctrine on the War on Terror is the giving of massive arms to terrorists (Palestinians) and clandestine supporters of terrorism and American hatred (Saudi Arabia).
Internal strife among fellow murdering terrorist has developed in recent days. The strife surrounds legitimate recognition of Israel as a sovereign nation. The problem: The PA is dependent on funds from international sources. Primarily that source is the EU and to a lesser extent America. The difficulty the PA faces is that much of the funds has been tied to recognizing the existence of Jewish Israel. This should not be a problem except for one little detail: the duly elected Parliamentarian government is ran by Hamas. Hamas and fellow murderers Islamic Jihad have gone on record that they will never recognize the right of existence of Jewish Israel.Now enters the politics of Mahmoud Abbas. Abbas (leader of Fatah, Chairman of the PLO and President of the PA) is the duly elected President of the Palestine Authority. Abbas understands the political game and desires the money to keep flowing from the kafir into the PA treasury. Abbas is more like abyss bound predecessor Arafat. Abbas is a murdering terrorist that clearly operates under the Mohammedan principle of al Taqiyya (Deceive the kafir). To the credit of Hamas, they have forsake the duplicity of al taqiyya and have gone to the throat of their goal: the Destruction of Jewish Israel.Abbas firm on Monday ultimatum
Hamas, Islamic Jihad reject threat of referendum
ICEJ E-News Brief
At the conclusion of a meeting Monday with EU envoy Javier Solana, Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas stressed that the Monday-night deadline for Hamas to accept the "prisoners document" - recognizing an Israeli state on the 1967 borders or agreeing to a referendum on the issue - still stands. Ynet News reports that five Palestinian factions, including Hamas and the Islamic Jihad, have already rejected the ultimatum and called on the chairman to continue the dialogue between the groups over the so-called "National Reconciliation Document."
Despite ongoing negotiations Palestinian sources have told Ynet that the chance of a compromise between the power-hungry factions is very unlikely, and Abbas will probably declare a referendum on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, eyewitnesses in Gaza reported massive deployments of Hamas and Fatah gunmen and Monday morning saw firefights between the factions that left five dead, including a 20-year-old woman who was eight months pregnant.
Also Monday, Palestinian sources told news agencies that prominent Hamas terrorist Ahmed Sari was killed and two of his relatives injured - one of them an 8-year-old girl - when a large bomb exploded outside his home in the northern Gaza Strip. In response to what they are calling an assassination, Hamas gunmen stormed the offices of Fatah-controlled Palestine TV, destroying equipment and beating employees, according to Reuters.
