Who Will Knock Iran To Her Senses?

After the United Nations voted the Jewish State of Israel back into existence in the modern panthion of legitimate nations, Arabs attacked from all sides and the Jews fought them back. After losing what Muslims thought was overwhelmingly a war that they would win, they went on to fight and lose many more wars. Meanwhile Egypt, Israel’s southern neighbor, embarked on a war with Israel in 1956 and Egypt fought another war with Yemen, hoping to turn those nations into her own. Bogged down in Yemen, Nasser popularity among the Arabs waned to the point that he felt compelled to do whatever it took to gain the status he felt he deserved. That was when hedismisseed the United Nations’ forces from Sinai and Gaza and imposed a blockade on Israel’s southern coast. Rewarded by an outpouring of love and respect from Muslims everywhere, Muslim nations were quick to translate this love of Nasser into hatred for Jews, and with this Arab solidarity and militancy rose again. Calling to all Arabs, Nasser demanded nothing short of unity, sacrifice and passionate hatred of Jews, and then Egypt and all her allies amassed tanks and troops on Israel’s borders, ready to pounce and exterminate 3 million Jews who the Arabs and Nazis had failed to murder in the Holocaust.

Rather than wait for the Muslims’ first strike, On June 5, 1967 Israeli forces lashed out and in days destroyed over 400 Arab aircraft and over 800 Arab tanks. Nasser’s dream of a Judenrein Middle East was dashed. Nasser’s dream of leading Arabs whle standing on Jewish runins were dashed. Instead, for their misdeeds, Israel legitimately held territories in the Sinai, Golan, West Bank and Gaza. Call these lands what you may, they were taken when Israel’s choice was to lose and be destroyed, or to make decisions that she would have to live with for years to come. Israel acted and we’ve seen how the Muslims have reacted.

Muslims still act as if they are victims. Ha, they are anything but victims. To date these Muslims have proven they are barbarous, with unlimited appetites not only for Israel but for gobbling up much of Africa, Asia, Europe and whatever else they can destroy and take as their own.

Once again, some overly ambitious Muslims have their eyes on Israel. This time these Muslims live in Iran, and Israel needs to decide what it’s going to do. What makes things different this go around, is instead of uniting under Ahmadinejad as they did under Nasser, it appears many Arabs are coming to their senses. They see Iran for what it is, and they would be pleased as punch if someone knocked Iran to her senses.

Jimmy Carter got the Nobel Peace Prize, but who really deserved the credit?

I’m not arguing the fact that Israel’s peace treaty with Egypt was historic. Nor am I arguing that Jimmy Carter has always been the first in line to take credit for the historic treaty. Anywhere one looks, we can’t help but see his glistening brownish-yellow teeth gleaming with pride for having brokered that agreement three decades ago.

Yet, as we know, history has a way of eventually telling us what really happened and who really deserves credit for what. Because Menachem Begin is dead, and because Anwar Sadat is dead, and because the Shah of Iran is dead, we’ve always listened to Carter’s story, as if it’s the only one. But TMQ2 has a scoop you wouldn’t believe, or maybe you would. Here’s what really happened. (more…)

Unhappy Anniversary

by Clifford D. May

The 40th anniversary of the Six Day War, June 5-10, was the occasion for a flurry of media retrospectives. Less attention will be given to a related anniversary: June 19, 1967, when the Israelis first offered to give back most of the land that had come under their control during that conflict.

It is historically rare — if not unprecedented — for a nation to relinquish territory paid for with blood in a defensive war. So there was hope that this bold land-for-peace proposal might lead to Arab-Israeli detente. But at a summit held in Khartoum the following September, Israel’s Arab neighbors declared the “three nos”: no to recognition of Israel, no to negotiations with Israel, no to peace with Israel.
