Israel's Gaza Quarantine

Gaza as it exists now is in the thrall of Hamas and is therefore afflicted with a fever that promotes the genocide of world Jewry. Israel's blockade of Gaza is limited to supplies of war or those materials with dual uses that could facilitate the construction of fortifications, tunnels, or bunkers. As Barack Hussein Obama meets today with Israel's Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu, Obama demands that the Jewish state lift all restrictions on what the Jewish state permits into the terrorist-controlled enclave- really. It has long been said that if the Arabs disarm, there would be peace, and if the Jews put down their weapons, there would, in short order, be no Jews. This has never been more true than the situation that prevails at this moment. The West is portraying Israel as Goliath with huge boot on the throat of infant Palestine rather than the reality that Israel is still David under the guns of a half a billion Arabs and a billion and a half Muslims now joined by the growing menace of Persian nukes emanating from Iran. Do not pity the poor Palestinians who have rejected every offer of peace up to and including Ehud Olmert's offer of 95% of the West Bank and continue incitement to murder Jews unabated. If Israel were to follow President Obama's diktat and clear the path to Gaza, does anyone doubt that all sorts of munitions would enter that territory to be turned against the Jews? If Israel concedes to Obama, a virtually endless supply of Kassams to launch at Israel would be bound to be constructed in the Gaza Strip and more accurate and destructive Katyusha rockets would be supplied through the newly opened Gaza port. Hamas has always used any weapon at its disposal to attack Jews and also, incidentally, has American blood on its hands as well, including in all likelihood, the three State Department security personnel murdered by a roadside bomb in Gaza on October 15, 2003. If Israel removes impediments to Hamas acquiring arms, they will be directed against Israel and Israel will be bound to respond to defend herself from the reinforced Hamas. Israel will retaliate. Ironically, if Israel complies with what Obama is pressing them to do, and implements Obama's suggestion that free access to and from Gaza somehow advances peace, Obama is actually assuring a regional war where Iran's proxy in Lebanon, Hezbollah, will jump in to the fray, certainly aided by Syria and this might well be the spark to ignite many of the rest of the Arab states hostile to Israel to have a go at the Jewish state, who they feel they have successfully weakened with their campaign to delegitimize and isolate the tiny democracy.
