An as yet painfully nonexistent scenario, but the prayer of all good Jews, in Israel and worldwide.Melopumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12931649843289140957noreply@blogger.comBlogger81100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5314556880076954459.post-53211518617761321852008-03-06T08:22:00.001-08:002008-03-06T12:20:12.412-08:00

The ability of a lot of people in the world to judge Israel as the aggressor for retaliating for rocket attacks on its citizens, the USA as the aggressor for launching military offensives after 9/11, or Denmark as the aggressor for publishing a bunch of mediocre cartoons, is captured by the Leftist self-hater’s flagship phrase: “One person’s terrorist is another person’s freedom fighter.” It’s a

IDF, standing for “Israel Defense Forces”, was its name until then, or Tzahal in Hebrew, for “Army of Defense for Israel”. The name itself represented the same shackling mindset that adherence to international law created in practice. Countless debates about “purity of arms” had ensued, the effective verdict being the obligation of the Israeli army to show mercy even toward the cruelest. The

The entire membership of this special session, convened for the purpose of condemning the Jewish State’s recent policies, waited tensely for the turn of the Israeli ambassador to speak. He strode through the aisle, onto the podium, to the voices of whispers all around, and bated breath. Those present did not know exactly what to expect: Although Israel had had its opportunities—many, in fact—to

Today, Melopum and I share nearly the same political views. This wasn’t always so, because we came from different backgrounds: I’ve always been a right-winger, even in the days when it wasn’t very fashionable in Israel, while Melopum did a Reaganesque turn from his socialist past when he realized the Left was the world’s scourge rather than salvation. Like all former Leftists, he kept a lot of

With the Media Reform Act now done, the Jewish State went on to deal with what had arguably been Israel’s gravest problem for all its existence: sedition on the part of elements from within. The fomenters of sedition were comprised of various groups: Arab Islamists like Sheikh Raed Saleh, Arab and non-Arab Leftist dupes for the “Palestinian Cause”, non-Arab opportunists sensing Jewish weakness,

(By “Leftists” we mean the type that’s come to prominence since the Woodstock Generation, the ones that exhibit total incapability to take their own side in a war. Apologies to Rooseveltian holdovers whom we’ve offended.) MYTH: Leftists oppose war. FACT: Leftists are all for war when it’s directed against their objects of hate, such as Israel and the USA. They call it “resistance” then,

“You here too?” said the suited man to the other, also suited. “Yep. I got a letter calling me to some kind of meeting here, to be held at five oh oh PM sharp,” he replied. Both were standing near a government building in Jerusalem, with twenty minutes to spare. Suddenly, a couple more suited people arrived. “What is all this?

The scenario described here is not yet real; maybe won’t ever be real, or probably will be real only in outline form and not in the details. That is because we’re not the ones who determine the future, and that should never be forgotten. “Many are the thoughts in a man’s heart; the counsel of HaShem is the one that will rise.” We plan, we even do, but the Almighty determines whether we succeed.
