6 DAY WAR

Attacks by both Hamas and Fatah constitute brutal assaults on the most fundamental humanitarian principles. Fatah and Hamas have summarily executed captives, killed people not involved in hostilities, and engaged in gun battles with one another inside and near Gaza hospitals. The murder of civilians not engaged in hostilities and the willful killing of captives are war crimes, perpetrated by these primitive and brutal terrorists.

All the weapons, war material, and finances that, over the last six years, we have given to the PLO terrorists in Gaza is now in the hands of the Hamas terrorists who now have total control of Gaza. Hamas is on the short list of terrorist organizations that are so extreme that it is illegal for Americans to contribute aid or arms to them. But in effect, using the PLO as an incompetent middleman, that is exactly what our administration has done.

This was probably not what our administration had planned when they initially supported the establishment of a PLO state. But, as predicted by most reasonable people, this is what has developed.

We must recognize the tragic reality that in America's war for survival against Islamic terror, the PLO is America's adversary, not its ally. We must halt all financial, political, and military aid to the PLO that too often ends up in the hands of Hamas terrorists. Instead of supporting the PLO/Hamas axis of terror, our administration should declare our support for Israel's historical and Biblical right of sovereignty in all Judea, Samaria, Gaza, the Golan Heights, and Jerusalem. Lets start by immediately moving our Embassy from Tel Aviv, to Jerusalem.

Hamas kindergarten graduation ceremonies include little boys dressed in camouflage outfits and carrying guns (presumably fake, but realistic looking). They go through routines where they are seen crawling on their bellies with the guns, then pretend to fire the guns. Instead of teaching their children to love learning and to strive to be doctors, builders or firemen, Palestinian Arab children from early on, are brainwashed with Muslim supremacism and intolerance, to despise anyone with different religious practices (including moderate Muslims), and to glory in murdering Christians and Jews.

Even though polls show that the majority of Palestinian Arabs support terror against Israel, even though Israel is being rocketed daily from Gaza , Israel still deems it important to aid its Palestinian Arab neighbors in need of medical care, although this makes Israel more vulnerable to terror attacks. Palestinian Arabs repay Israel's compassion with attempted terror attacks by Palestinian Arabs with medical passes. Recent abuse of these humanitarian medical passes resulted in an another attempted terror attack. The two women trained by Islamic Jihad handlers, jeopardized the entire humanitarian medical program. Israel gave an entry pass to Ruda Haviv, 30, to come into Israel for medical tests, and also gave another pass to Fatma Zak, 39, as her attending relative. Zak was 9 months pregnant at the time. By using a 9-month pregnant woman, and a supposedly ill woman, to carry out an attack, Islamic Jihad has made it imperative that even heavily pregnant or ill women must be rigorously inspected at security checkpoints.

Israel and the United States share values of decency: democracy, pluralism, freedom of religion, freedom of press, accountability, respect for life, women's rights, a judicial system with the right to appeal, compassion for those less fortunate (humanitarian programs), an emphasis on fighting fairly and abiding by civilized rules of engagement. Muslims, on the other hand, sponsor: Muslim/Arab supremacist beliefs, pervasive incitement to hate and murder Jews and Christians, valuing death more than life, emphasis on solving even small conflicts with violence rather than compromise, discrimination against women, gays and all non-Muslims; war crimes: abusing civilized policies meant to safeguard the medical system and press freedom, attempts to carry out violence using cover provided by medical, press or humanitarian credentials: putting a big "TV" sign on a vehicle used in an attack against Israel, hiding explosive belts and terrorists in ambulances, faking injuries, using medical passes into Israel to attempt to inflict terror attacks, using Doctors Without Borders credentials to gain entry into Israel to plan terror attacks and committing other barbaric acts. Even Human Rights Watch, which rarely criticizes outrageous Palestinian Arab behavior when Israelis are murdered, felt compelled to condemn both Hamas and Fatah regarding their recent barbarism. Every day Israeli police and defense forces deter more than 40 attempted infiltrations and attacks by Arab terrorists.

If there is to be any hope for future peace for our children and grandchildren, we must teach love, tolerance, love for a constructive life and love for education to all Muslims, especially Arabs.
