The Canberra Sunday Times, a leading Australian newspaper, has basically warned the U.S. that its policy on the Arab-Israeli conflict appears to be the central issue in the pattern of events leading to the destruction of the World Trade Center The French foreign ambassador to Israel said something similar.
Hello, Australia, Paris? You there Down Under and in the heart of Europe think you are safe, don't you? Far away, distancing yourself from those wretched Jews, who are the source of all this trouble? After all, what is American Mideast policy? That there should be a negotiated settlement between Arabs and Israelis? That Israel doesn't need to hand over its capital to Yassir Arafat, the man who invented plane hijackings, and teaches suicide bombing techniques to little children? That Israel doesn't need to commit suicide and self destruct?
Great advice, Canberra, Paris.
And to return the favor, I have some advice for you, and for all the other nations who are clucking their tongues at the "stupidity" of the Americans getting themselves into hot water by opposing Muslim fundamentalism:
You'd better pray the Americans keep supporting freedom in the world, because if not, you gutless wonders better be prepared for some major life-style changes. To avoid the same kind of attack on the Sydney Opera House, and the Eiffel Tower, you'd better do the following immediately:
1)Close down all your bars, discos, movie theatres, and other places of "decadent" Western entertainment. Stop publishing "decadent" novels, newspapers and magazines.
2) You women out there, start burning your "decadent" fashions. Sleeveless dresses? Short skirts? Makeup? Get your veils and chadors ready.
3) Young girls, get ready to be murdered by your fathers and brothers for "promiscuous" behavior. Forget about dating . Stay at home and read the Koran. Enter into an arranged marriage with a good Muslim boy (or much, much older man) your parents select. If not, you could get your throat slit. The law in your country will reflect the new order. As in all Muslim countries, all honorkillers get off with a slap on the wrist and are out of jail (if they are even arrested at all) in under a year.
4) Close down your churches and synagogues. Every one who is not a Muslim is a dhimmi or lesser human being, with limited rights, to be ruled by Muslims.
5)Women, get ready to have your husband's or father's permission to travel, to work, to study. Without it, you risk death.
6) In short, get ready for a new world order, Canberra, Paris. Because all those things you feel are your lifestyle are diametrically opposed to the agenda of the terrorists willing to sacrifice their lives to change the world to fit their own view of what is good, and what is right. If you don't have the guts to fight it, get ready to fall on your knees and pray towards Mecca.
And the response:
We in Israel, and in the United States, prefer to pray standing up to our own God, thank you very much, and have the courage to fight for it.
