Chaim Shalom,
I have just got this e-mail, I would like to share it with you:
-----
Five years ago I sent you a letter which I called
"Conversation on the Beach". In my letter I described my
conversation with a young Palestinian student who in short
precise terms explained how Islam will defeat the West. The
conversation opened my eyes to a much larger picture in
which Israel plays only a minor role in the Islamic game of
conquest. Since then I tried to speak to some Arabs who come
to pray at the Mosque, but they were not as outspoken as the
student.
Last week I had another conversation with an Israeli
Arab construction boss by the unlikely name of Francis who
was in charge of building a villa near our house in
Herzelia. He told me that his family was Christian and his
name was given to him in honor of the Franciscan monks. Our
conversation was as interesting as the first conversation I
had with the Arab student five years ago and I would like to
share it with you.
Francis frequently parked his car near our house and
we would exchange polite greetings.
About a week ago the water was shut off for repairs
in the house he was building and Francis asked me if I could
give him some hot water for his coffee.
He was a tall man of about forty, with reddish hair
and blue eyes. He spoke a perfect Hebrew and I, naturally
became curious about him. I felt that he may the right
person to exchange some views with. By his looks I assumed
that he was either a Druze or from the Syrian region. He
looked more like a teacher than a construction worker and as
I later found out, he was actually a teacher by profession.
Since my conversation with the student five years ago I was
always curious to hear their side of the story, therefore I
decided to invite him for a cup of coffee to our house. I
saw him hesitate for a moment then he smiled and thanked me
for my hospitality.
While we drank our coffee he told me that he was
from a small village in the Galilee called Jish, near the
present Kibbutz Sassa. I remembered the village very well
as I was one of the soldiers who captured the village while
serving in the 7th Armored brigade during the war of
Independence in 1948. I decided not to tell him about it
because at the time we encountered some stiff resistance at
that village and quite a few of the inhabitants were killed.
While I was preparing the coffee he told me a little
about himself.
" For a while I was a teacher and I loved teaching,
but I couldn't make a living at it and I decided to join my
father in law who is in the construction business."
Judging by the large Honda he was driving I figured
that he didn't do too badly changing his profession.
Our conversation soon turned to the present
situation in the Middle East , about Hamas winning the
elections, the situation of the Israeli Arabs, and the last
Lebanese war against Hezbolla.
" As Christians we are in a difficult situation here
in Israel . Unfortunately, the Moslems and especially the
extreme Islamist section, are giving the tone here. My
family who lived in Bethlehem probably since the Crusaders,
had to flee for their life. The Moslems have been forcing us
out, by threats and even murder. Bethlehem that was once
predominantly Christian is now predominantly Moslem. Very
little is written about it even in the Israeli press."
He sipped his coffee and gave me a long look. He
seemed like someone who wasn't quite sure whether to say
what he was about to say. I gave him an encouraging nod.
" I have to tell you something which very few of you
seem to comprehend." He continued.
"Your bungling war against a few thousand Hezbolla
fighters which you should have crushed no matter what,
considering the importance of the outcome, has created a
completely new situation, not only for this area, but
globally. Your inept leadership totally misunderstood the
importance of winning this war.
As a matter of fact, the whole Moslem world, not
only the Arabs, simply couldn't believe that the mighty
Israeli Army that defeated the combined Arab forces in six
days in 1967, and almost captured Cairo and Damascus in
1973, couldn't defeat a small army of Hezbolla men. As usual
the Moslems see things the way they want to see things. Most
think that the present generation of Israelis have gone soft
and can be defeated .
The American bungling of the war in Iraq only added
to their conviction that victory not only over Israel but
also over the West in not only possible, but certain.
The ramifications of these two bungling wars may
bring an Islamic bloody Tsunami all over the West, not only
in Israel . The sharks smell blood and this two wars gave
them the green light to attack sooner than they had in mind.
Your problem is that you are on the defensive and
they have the option to choose the time and the places when
and where to attack and there is nothing much you can do
about it.
When will you Westerners realize that half measures
don't work with people who are willing to die by the
thousands for Allah to achieve their goal? In their eyes the
Western World is simply an abomination on earth that has to
be wiped out."
He spoke quietly and I could just picture him in the
school giving his students a lecture.
I poured him another cup of coffee and encouraged
him to continue.
" The Americans, the Europeans, and even you
Israelis really don't really know what it is all about, do
you? During the last generation hundreds of thousands of
children have been taught all over the Moslem world in
Madrass schools to become martyrs for Allah in order to kill
the infidels. These youngsters are not only are ready to do
it, but are actually in the process of doing it. Bombs are
going off all over the world killing and maiming thousands
of people, not on 9/11 in the US , in London Madrid and Bali
, but Africa , India , Bengla Dash , Egypt , Saudi Arabia
and countless other places.
The first signs of the Islamic Tsunami is already
here, but the West doesn't understand, or doesn't want to
understand what is coming.
The Americans, instead of realizing that this is as
bad as World War Two, or even worse, are going to pull out
of Iraq , handing it over to Iran on a silver platter. Next
may come the Saudis and the rest of the Gulf states. When
dirty bombs will go off all over the Western towns who is
going to stop the Iranians?
Now is the time to stop them, not only because they
are developing nuclear bombs, but because Iran has become
the base for all Islamic terrorist. They supply, money, men
and weapons to Islamic terrorist around the world, quite
often trough their diplomatic mail. Billions of petro-
dollars that are pouring into Iran are being funneled into
terrorist organizations world-wide. They believe, and
perhaps rightly so, that the West will do nothing to stop
them in achieving their goals. Is history repeating itself?
Are the Iranians making the same mistake that Hitler made
when he attacked Poland ? Is the situation similar?
As a history teacher who studied the subject
thoroughly I can tell you that Western victory in World War
Two was not all certain. Hitler could have won the war if he
would have gone ahead with the atomic bomb development
before the Americans. The Germans began working on it in the
thirties, and it was Hitler's decision to prefer building
more conventional arms, as he considered atomic weapons
sheer fantasy.
Hitler made the wrong decision, but had he made the
right decision the world would have been a different type of
world today, wouldn't it? The West won the war against
Hitler by sheer chance. Very few people seem to realize
that."
I must say that his last words shook me up quite a
bit. Had Hitler made a different decision, I would have died
in Dachau , there wouldn't have been a Jewish state called
Israel , and most likely there wouldn't have been any Jews
left in the world. The idea that the Western democracies in
general and the fate of the Jewish people in particular
could have hinged on Hitler's one decision, is a scenario of
the worst night mare.
He notices that his last words had an effect on me
and he smiled. " I see that my words are not wasted on you,"
He said dryly. I nodded and he continued with his lecture.
"Coming back to our time, the Iranians rely on the
West doing nothing about their development of nuclear bombs.
They also rely on their secret weapon: An inexhaustible
supply of Islamic 'Suicide Bombers', some of them who are
already planted all over the Western World. Besides the
Islamic countries that supply these suicide bombers, a
second front has been opened, and that is the internet with
more than five thousand Islamic web sites, brain washing and
urging young Moslems to become martyrs for Allah. They
especially target young Moslems who live in Europe and the
West in general. The Western intelligence authorities
consider these web sites a bigger threat than the Iranian
atomic bomb. El Kaida recently issued a television broadcast
that promised a devastating attack against its enemies this
spring. As we all know, El Kaida doesn't make empty threats.
"Actually, I don't understand why the Iranians
bother to develop atom bombs and bring the whole world down
on them. Every suicide bomber is a potential atom bomb, or a
biological, chemical or dirty bomb that can be no less
devastating than an atom bomb. The Americans and Europeans
have no defense against this type of war."
"What can we do against this type warfare?" I asked
him. "Well, you Israelis, should better prepare yourself for
another round against Hezbolla. It will be not long in
coming . It depends on the Iranians to give the word. This
time you will have to destroy Hezbolla no matter what the
cost may be.
"Of course, your next round against Hezbolla may
involve the Syrians and the Iranians against you. The
Iranians declared that they will not allow Hezbolla to be
defeated no matter what and may launch their missiles
against you. So will the Syrians. What will Israel do? It is
unlikely that Israel will accept its destruction and may use
their nuclear arsenal if the West will not come to their
help. Perhaps our Book of Revelations is not so wrong in
describing that the end of the world would start at
Armageddon, which we know as Har-Megiddo in Israel . The
Book of Revelations describes the last battle would be
fought at Armageddon between the 'Forces of good and the
forces of evil.'"
"And who would you call the forces of good ' Israel
or Islam?'"I asked, looking him straight in the eyes.
He gave me a startled look. "If I were a Moslem, I
would have no problem to name the forces of good and it
wouldn't be Israel . As a Christian, I would probably name
Israel , but as a Christian Arab I would prefer not to
answer."
We looked at each other. His answer made it clear
where the Israeli Arabs stood, whether they were Moslems or
Christians. And why should I be surprised? After all The
Israeli Arabs call the establishment of the State of Israel
their Nakbah. (Their disaster). (This goes along with what
I've said - - Arab Christians will always line up with the
Arabs, not the Jews)
"Is there a way to avoid the 'Armageddon'?"
"I think there are two ways to avoid it. One can be
a major war which the West can win . As in World War Two,
had the West attacked the Germans in 1936 the war would have
lasted not more than a month with very few casualties. Their
procrastination resulted in World War II with all its
consequences.
Eventually, the West will have to tackle the
Iranians , it is better that they do it now to avert a world
catastrophe later. With Iran defeated the Islamic onslaught
will lose its base, and it may be the turning point in
history to defeat the menace of extreme Islam. The majority
of the Moslems don't want this confrontation anyway."
"You are painting a rather dark picture. When do you
think we will have the next round against Hezzbola?" I
asked.
"I think they will attack again as soon as they are
fully re-equipped and I think it will be during the summer,
while Israel is still in a military and political turmoil."
For a while we sat in silence. He finished his
second cup of coffee and got up. "I know what I am going to
do. I am going to Canada to join my brother. This country is
becoming much too dangerous for Christians as well." he
said. He thanked me for the coffee and we shook hands.
"You said there are two ways to avoid 'Armageddon,'"
I remembered to ask him.
"Sure, all the West has to do is follow Putin's
ways. He assassinates his enemies without blinking an eye.
Assassinate the four or five Mullahs who run the show,
Achmenijad, and a few more Iranian fanatics, and the War can
be avoided. It may be difficult to do, but not impossible.
With today's hi- tech technology I am sure that new weapons
against individuals are being prepared right now. I think it
would be a better way of handling the matter than an all out
war against Islam."
The conversation with Francis was not more
encouraging than the one I had with the Palestinian student
five years ago. It was becoming clear that Israel may be on
the forefront for the coming war of the West against Islam,
unless we follow Francis' suggestion to assassinate the
heads of the snake, rather than going to war with Islam.
