Hamas Is Fatah & Fatah Is Hamas

Roughly 1.4 million people live in the Gaza Strip. Some are complete innocents; many are simply terrorists and killers, plain and simple. Businessmen have gone; the so-called "middle class" got out long ago. This leaves nothing but those who cannot leave and those who enjoy killing Jews and their brethren.

Israel is in a tough spot. So I'd like to make some suggestions. But first, a few points:

- Israel has a new President, to take office on July 15th:

JERUSALEM – Elder statesman Shimon Peres was elected Israel's ninth president Wednesday, capping a campaign to extend his six-decade political career in a race marred by rape allegations against the sitting president.

- Ehud Olmert continues as Prime Minister.

- Ehud Barak is sworn in as the new Defense Minister.

- The rocket hits just keep on coming and Olmert holds back.

- Olmert looks forward to working with the new Palestinian cabinet absent a Hamas presence.

- Ariel Sharon still lies in a coma and many citizens wonder if Olmert is an acceptable PM.

- A new poll shows Israelis favor Benjamin Netanyahu as the next Prime Minister.

- The Golan Heights is more Israeli than Syrian, claims Israeli newspaper website Haaretz.com.

- As Noah Pollak writes: “ 'Palestine' and Israel are heading in separate directions, and fast."

And perhaps, overarching all, is this disappointing news from Yoni The Blogger (Yoni Tidi, Israeli blogger prominantly featured on the Hugh Hewitt show, and a former master sniper and anti-terrorist member -- with contacts in "the community"):

US Renews Aid to PA
(IsraelNN.com) US President George W. Bush spoke to PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and expressed support for the new PA and its Prime Minister, Salam Fayad. The US has pledged to renew economic support for the PA, now that it no longer includes the Hamas terrorist organization. During the conversation, Abbas encouraged Bush to push to restart the peace process with Israel and to give Arabs in Judea and Samaria a “political horizon”.

Yoni sums it up with:

What did I tell you, we are all being played big time.

But America is going to push Israel into making a Palestinian State, which will be a terrorist state for, as you all know, Hamas is Fatah and Fatah is Hamas.

Yoni is precisely correct.

My solutions?

Simple. Do what Israel has every right to do:

• Reoccupy Gaza completely;
• Completely occupy the Golan Heights;
• The same for the West Bank;
• Completely remove all non-Israelis.

Enough pablum. Take off the velvet gloves. The survival of Israel is at stake and the UN can go to Hell. It's the Middle East vs. Western Cultures and I'm ALL about the West WINNING.
