The Land Mine of Lies
by Ari Bussel
What is a person who does not believe in "The Book," the Jewish Old Testament, to do? Jewish people claim God promised them the land of Israel for all eternity. Christians, by and large, support this claim. More recently, the League of Nations granted Jews their land in an official, legal act. Unlike the covenant with God, when drawn on paper, boundaries were changed at will using green, blue or red markers. Diverse interests and powerful influences resulted in splitting the land between a Jewish state and an Arab one. Palestinian Arabs (Muslims) were to get what is today Jordan, refused to recognize the Jewish state-in-formation, and now they want it all.
Decades have passed. Wars have ensued. The League of Nations became the United Nations, and political interests and spheres of influence grew ever stronger and continued to foster aspirations of dominance. Israel today, a tiny country surrounded by enemies acting to destroy it, also suffers attacks from within. Some Israelis erroneously believe if Judea and Samaria and half of their eternal capital Jerusalem were surrendered to the Muslims, peace will be achieved.
Those rushing to appease the ever-escalating Muslim appetite are mistaken. They are as wrong as those who lived in Berlin, the capital of the most cultured country in the world, just eight decades ago and felt immune, or in London and believed words alone or signed documents can bring about peace.
The power one understands in the Middle East is not the power of speech but of the sword. Today, the Islamic extremist version of "power" is broadcast live on the Internet, a new reality show where a Daniel Pearl is murdered and a decapitated head is held for all to see. His only sin? Being an American. Or possibly it was being a Jew. Who knows and can it really matter in the minds of irrational people where no sense exists? Yet the image is still fresh in our minds. Not of "words," but of the sword, a far more potent method of delivering their "message" of death. I am certain a dirty bomb, radioactive explosion or biological agents are likely alternative candidates for this type of "conversation."
Legal arguments do not hold any more. Reason no longer rules. Even ancient historical artifacts are uprooted, and despite the reverence usually reserved for antiquities, they are cast aside like a pile of rubbish. And yet, the perpetrators, our soon-to-be executioners, claim to follow the word of the same god as our God. Even if the issue claiming the moon god is not the Judeo-Christian God were reconciled, if one adheres to a belief in God, how can he proceed to separate Jews from their Promised Land?
Here we need to look at the Muslim modus operandi. A Thousand and One Arabian Nights is not only a literary masterpiece; it is a creative craft in which reality is imagined. Lie after lie and story after story are woven then repeated without contradiction. Outrageous untruths become so commonplace one is overwhelmed and a mistaken reality, based in fiction, emerges.
