The Trojan Horse
By Barry Shaw
Many 25, 2002
Has anybody truly examined the speeches and documents of the
Palestinian Authority and it's leaders?
I am not talking about their wild claims for Greater Palestine
made many years ago. I am talking about the repeated promises,
made in Arabic, by Yasser Arafat, Nabil Shath, Abdul Rabbo, to
the masses, through the Palestinian media, in studio conversation
in Egypt, Beirut, and the Gulf States. In other words, an open,
much discussed, topic of Palestinian aims known clearly throughout
the Arab world.
If anyone is in any doubt about the permanent objectives of the
leadership of the Palestinian Authority, they should properly
research the video-taped speeches and the signed documents, that
clearly spell out what they are up to.
All the leading Palestinian players, including Yasser Arafat,
have recently and repeatedly confirmed the ultimate and inevitable
conclusion of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The evidence is
there for anyone willing to hear and read the declared and public
long term strategy of the Palestinians.
The one and only Palestinian game in town is the total eradication
of Israel as the Jewish state.
Just prior to being struck down with a fatal heart attack Feisal
Husseini, a leading Palestinian figure and their representative
in Jerusalem, made two important speeches in Cairo and Beirut.
In these speeches he recalled the story of the Trojan Horse. After
fierce battles a gift was made by Troy to their enemies as a peace
offering. The gift was a giant wooden horse. This gift, eagerly
accepted, was wheeled into the enemies impregnable fortress. In
the middle of the night, Trojan soldiers, hidden in the hollow
belly of the horse, emerged and struck down the enemy forces,
thus gaining a heroic victory.
Husseini, in his speeches, divulged the secret but irrevocable
aim of the Palestinian Authority, by declaring that the Oslo Accord
was the Palestinian 'Trojan Horse'. He gloated on how the world,
and Israel, had been fooled into allowing the Palestinians into
the territories from their exile in Tunis and other Arab state.
He declared that it was the Palestinians holy duty to exploit
Israel's weakness, and capture 'all our Palestinian land FROM
THE RIVER TO THE SEA.'
This theme has been repeated many times by Yasser Arafat, Nabil
Shath, Rabbo, and others. Not in English, of course, but in Arabic
to a delighted Palestinian public, and to the larger Arab world.
Arafat has stated, and there is filmed evidence of his statement,
that all agreements, including the Oslo Accords, made with the
Jews are worthless pieces of paper. he quoted the example of Mohammed
who tore up the agreement he made with the Jews of Medina as worthless.
Nothing, declared Arafat, will detract the Palestinians from their
ultimate goal - all Palestinian land from the river to the sea.
This Palestinian pledge, this holy covenant, to remove the Jews
from their infamous state is backed up
by the incitement of children in their schools and summer camps,
on their childrens TV programs. It is backed up by the exhortation
of the Palestinian population in the mosques, and in their newspapers.
It is backed by the contents of current school books which show
all of Israel as the Palestinian state - from the river to the
sea.
It is backed by the official emblems that fill the walls in all
Palestinian Authority buildings, open to be seen but ignored by
all visiting dignitaries. It is backed up by the very insignia
worn today by Arafat on his uniform jacket sleeve.
All of Israel is portrayed as Palestine.
Any claim, made by Palestinian spokesmen to an ignorant Western
media, that this is only temporary until borders are defined is
a deception, designed to lull, or pressure, Israel into territorial
concessions. These Israeli concessions are seen as a temporary
phase prior to the full conquest of all Palestinian land - from
the river to the sea.
Any agreement made with a Palestinian Authority can only be seen
as a staged seizure of land until they have achieved their total
and unrelenting ambition - the eradication of the Jewish state.
This realisation of true Palestinian aims and aspirations come
as a bitter shock to people, like myself, who once voted for Rabin,
Peres, and Barak, in search of a peaceful solution for the Israel-
Palestine conflict.
The message is clear. The Palestinians desire, yearn for, nothing
less than a state of their own from the river to the sea. Anything
less is simply a staging point along the way.
Once a 'Two State Solution' is imposed on Israel, the next stage
of Palestinian take-over can begin.
Just as the current situation came about through fictitious Palestinian
claims and a perversion of history, so the future will be deployed
to suit the ongoing and voracious demand of a radical enemy.
For Israel, these external pressures will be combined with internal
dangers.
Israel already has a second Trojan Horse.
An indigenous, and growing, Moslem population being led by a passionate
and eloquent leadership who have exploited Israel's democratic
system by being elected to, and are already making aggressive
noises from within, the Knesset, the Israeli parliament.
Examples of this are Ahmed Tibi, more often seen at Arafat's side
than on the floor of the Knesset. Asmi Bishara, recently seen
in Syria exhorting Islam to continue to violence against Israel,
and often seen within Israel arguing that Israel must withdraw
it's claim to be the Jewish state. A whole slew of Arab Members
of the Knesset seen weeping and kissing Arafat when Israel released
him from his Ramallah confinement.
This phemonemon is not confined to Israel.
The Trojan Horse is already installed in many Western European
countries, Canada, and the States.
They had no need to batter down the walls. Democratic, liberal,
humanitarian, gestures have allowed the Trojan Horses to be willingly
welcomed through the gates.
The mosque mullahs and the educators are spreading their message
and condemning the shallowness and impurities of the West.
In America, the authorities are vainly sniffing around the silent
and stoic Trojan Horse. High alert is maintained to prevent a
sudden and horrendous repeat of 9.11.
In Europe, the ground is already stirring. France will soon have
a Moslem population reaching twelve million. They have a confused
government that has proved itself eager to appease the Arab world.
Most of the Moslem population maintain a law abiding existence,
but incitement has begun to be spread in the mosques and violence
and anti-Semitism, caused by radical Islam, has hit the streets,
synagogues, and Jewish graveyards of France. Islamic militants
are relatively free to continue their preparations in Paris and
Marseilles.
Radical Islamic leaders are taking advantage of the gracious benefits
of the British welfare system while spreading the message that
ultimate loyalty must be to Allah and not to the Queen.
The confused cries of an angry right, a betrayed left, and a frightened
center, will be lost on the radical winds of change when the trap
door is flung open in the middle of a long and stormy night when
democracy is overthrown by an enemy that places Allah before the
Republic.
Their victory will have been aided by a willing, if misguided,
left sustained by an ignorant liberal media, who for years have
appeased the growing appetite of a fanatical people determined
to, eventually, impose their civilisation on you, whether you
like it or not.
The cry, recently heard in several European countries that immigrants
must learn the language and the customs of the host country, is
a wasted lament that goes unheard by people who have no intention
of adopting norms that they wish to eliminate.
Speaking as someone whose small town in Israel has witnessed twelve
terror attacks, including several horrendous homicide bombings
recently, I cannot, and will not, be accused of being paranoid.
I am a reasonably intelligent person. When repeatedly attacked,
I begin to question why, and look for reasons and evidence, beyond
the glib response that it is all due to 'accepted' Palestinian
justification
of occupation or policy.
This may be true. According to 'ignored' Palestinian justification
it is the Jewish occupation of Israel, and the avowed policy of
the Palestinians that is driving the fury.
If you require proof of this, ask yourself why Israelis are being
attacked in Netanya, Haifa, Afula, Tel Aviv, Rishon leZion, and
Jerusalem ? These are nowhere near any 'occupied' territory or
settlements.
It is because these are considered as settlements in Palestinian
occupied land from the river to the sea.
Faced with these Palestinian facts and statements, how can Israel
be persuaded to make further concessions in a vague hope of peace
?
This article has been rejected by most main stream US newspapers.
Why?
There is nothing in this piece that is untrue and is not documented.
If anyone wants to receive evidence of the contents of this article
may apply to me. I will happily provide them with the proof.
