17. THERE ARE NO ARAB MODERATES. Witness the Jordanian "moderate" who in 1967, in possession of the lands of Judea and Samaria (the so-called
"West Bank" ) and East Jerusalem, went to war, and who openly sided with the Iraqi aggressor during the Gulf war.
The Arabs differ in tactics, not goals. Foolish Jews who call for concessions have already cost us dearly and we will pay terribly for those concessions that were made on the assumption that Arab "moderates" would seek peace with Israel and be its allies. Similarly, it is mad delusion to insist that Arab terrorists do not represent the
"Palestinians" . Of course they do, because the
"Palestinians" , as a whole, are committed to the destruction of an Israel they see as a robber state.
The true issue is the refusal of the Arabs to recognize a
Jewish state of any size or shape for any permanent length of time. It Is not an Arab-Israel issue but an Arab-Jewish one and it Is more than a political dispute; it is a religious war. We should not be surprised that Christians and Moslems who kill each other join against the Jews or that a Pope meets with Christians and Moslems, who kill each other, join against the Jews or that a Pope meets with Moslem terrorists. The very existence of
the Jewish state is proof of the truth of Judaism, a thing that neither Islam nor Christianity can accept.
Peace is not possible under the above circumstances but Jews need not weep or wail. Zionism, from the first, was not created primarily for peace but for a
Jewish state. Hopefully, it was believed, this could be accomplished by peace. But with or without
peace , the primary goal was a
Jewish state .
