Just Peace For Israel

EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT PEACE BUT PEACE IS NOWHERE IN SIGHT

Israel has attempted to have peaceful relations with its neighbours, forever it seems; after each war of Arab aggression, and all times in between, only to be rebuffed with the infamous Three No’s – No Peace, No Negotiations and No Recognition of the State of Israel.

Even today, with all the talks of “peaceful negotiations”, the Arabs still refuse to recognize our rights in our ancient homeland – Eretz Israel!

Some of our people even fail to see that our so-called “peace partners”, are the very ones involved in Israel bashing at the U.N. and elsewhere at every opportunity! 

All the foreign imposed so-called “peace initiatives”, do not bode well for Israel’s security. They are based on groundless Arab demands, with no consideration for Israel’s security.

Today, more than ever, Israel needs leaders with moral courage and clear vision, like our former leaders Ben-Gurion, Begin and Shamir who could see clearly through the hypocrisy and subterfuge of foreign imposed solutions.

In 1982, the then U.S. President Ronal Regan, attempted to impose on Israel a similar “peace initiative” after consulting with Arabs, but not with Israel!

An angry Begin, after explaining in detail why such a “solution” would endanger Israel’s very existence, wrote to the President:

“Mr. President, you and I chose to call our countries ‘friends and allies’. Such being the case, a friend does not weaken his friend, and an ally does not put his ally in jeopardy”

There is nothing to stop our leaders today to repeat the words of our former Prime Minister Menachem Begin z”l to the future President of the U.S. Friends do not compel allies to commit national suicide! 

ONLY A STRONG ISRAEL BEHIND SAFE AND SECURE BORDERS WILL SURVIVE IN THIS HOSITILE AND VIOLENT NEIGHBOURHOOD.

To All Am Israel Message of April, 27 2007

The first responsibility of government, any government, is to defend its people and its borders.

Israel has had to defend its people and its borders in several wars of unprovoked Arab aggression - aggression with genocidal intent!

Israel’s leaders, from Menachem Begin to Yitzhak Rabin, swore never to go back to the 1949 armistice lines, which Abba Eban called “Auschwitz borders”!

UN Resolution 242 called for defensible borders for Israel. There was no reference to the mythical “Palestinians” nor was there any question about Israel’s sovereignty over its ancient land.

As we commemorate Yom Hashoah, its martyrs and heroes; as we commemorate and celebrate the return to our land from the horrors of our long exile; as we commemorate our heroes, who gave their lives in defense of our land, and as we celebrate Yom Ha’atzmaut, we must rededicate ourselves to the safe future of our people and our land.

Peace will come when our enemies tire of hostility, aggression, terrorism and poisonous propaganda; when they educate their children not for suicide missions, but for peace,

- THEN PEACE WILL INDEED REIGN IN THIS TROUBLED REGION.
