When you hear Gerald Kessel of CNN spout the line that Arafat’s speech on December 16th to stop terrorism led to a lessening of attacks, hold your nose. The Arabists in Washington have once again had to reach down into the sewers, pull Arafat out of his own mess and clean him up so he can be resurrected as Mr. Clean: The Peacemaker.

The line of propaganda is that it is Arafat’s speech and his efforts that have lowered the violence to only a few dozen attacks per day. That includes bombing, shooting, grenades and mortars against Jews. Watch the story of Arafat’s successful bath spin out of the NEW YORK TIMES, CHICAGO TRIBUNE, WASHINGTON POST, CNN, NPR, NBC, etc. 

The boiler room of the U.S. State Department is likely already in high gear. Arafat is to be reconstituted into the leader that Sharon must appeal to. No doubt, orders have arrived with Marine Gen. (Ret.) Anthony Zinni for Prime Minister Ariel (Arik) Sharon to cease his assault on Arafat’s terrorists. Sharon has already pulled forces out of Nablus, a stronghold nest of terrorists, Jenin, the a-Tira neighborhood of Ramallah, as well as Kalkilya, Tulkarm and Hebron.  Daily gunfire, mortar and suicide bombers have come from these rats-nests of terror cells.

No need to lay siege to Arafat’s prison for the terrorists he arrested because there is no one there. The newsies all know that Arafat has a revolving door policy when it comes to arresting his friends.  He is even giving them $1000 to sit in jail for show.

The present campaign is to terminate Israel’s war on terrorism, force it back to negotiating away her critical mass and establish a Palestinian State. The newsies already know that the Arabs and their various terrorist proxies have pledge an end to the non-Muslim Jewish State. They know there will be no peace between a Palestinian State easily armed to the teeth by European donors and Arab nations. 

Did you really think there was to be a real war against Global Terrorism? The deals are still cut in the back room and the oil boys have the money to make Washington listen.

There is a very dirty deal going down. Arafat is to be brought back from obscurity as a player - just as he was from Tunis. Peres and the Oslo gang are once again in full howl.

Sharon’s anti-terrorist efforts are to be slowed down and stopped. The Bush Administration has been pressed by Saudi Arabia and has buckled. All will be made to look as if "peace" had blossomed. 

The Arabs, though the voice of Darwasha, who called for ‘Hudna’ which means a ‘temporary halt to violence’. This meets the Arab homily of: "Kiss the hand of your enemy until you can cut it off". 

Koranic law encourages Muslims to make a temporary peace until they can gather their strength to defeat the infidel. Arafat often quotes Mohammed and his peace of Hudaibiya Treaty, wherein he made a peace treaty with the Jewish Koreish Tribe. When he was strong enough, he came back and slaughtered the Jews. 

This then is Arafat’s idea of peace. Unfortunately, we see some American Arabists climbing aboard his wagon because it pleases terrorist nations with whom they are both doing business.

Even as American forces press to continue their effective actions of disrupting the enemy Taliban forces, Gen. Zinni comes with the message for Israel to cease her round-up of terrorists. 

Is there something wrong with America’s policy on Global Terror?

Russian version
An introduction to MAOF
Haim Goldman

Dear Friends,

Would you believe that the undersigned has anything in common with

-- Professor Victor Davis Hanson (Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University),
-- Dr Charles Krauthammer, (Washington Post, Time, The Weekly Standard),
-- Caroline Glick (Deputy Managing Editor of the Jerusalem Post),
-- Jonathan Tobin (Executive Editor of the Philadelphia Jewish Exponent).

Amazingly, the editors of the MAOF website decided that the missives of the undersigned are worthy of translation and posting along the articles written by these distinguished authors.

The first letter was published without the consent of the undersigned.
However, after thorough examination of the laudable attitude of MAOF and of the excellent contents of the website, the undersigned had most graciously granted his permission for publication of his missives in both English and Russian.

“Analytical Group MAOF” [1] is an organisation founded about ten years ago by Russian-speaking Jewish intellectuals. The attitude of MAOF is definitely pro-Zionist -- unambiguously and unapologetically.

One of MAOF’s primary purposes is providing information and analysis about Middle-Eastern and world affairs as well as about Israel’s history, values and dilemmas. In addition to extensive publication activity in various media, MAOF also organises excursions and seminars. While the vast majority of the contents of the MAOF website is in Russian, texts originally written in English are provided in the original [2] as well as in Russian.

There are arguably about 250 millions of Russian-speakers worldwide and many of them do not read English. The indisputable motivation for the author’s permission was to grant those millions of disadvantaged people the grand benefit of reading the author’s ruminations. If the author is ever maliciously accused that his tacit motivation for authorising the publication was his craving to be listed along with the above-mentioned distinguished writers, his plea will definitely be “nolo contendere”.

The editors of MAOF expressed their gratitude by granting the undersigned a privilege that no other author got – the opportunity to review and correct the Russian translation before publication. The original letters of the undersigned are at [3] and their Russian version is at [4]. At of today, only two letters are posted but several other letters are pending translation.

You are kindly ENCOURAGED TO RECOMMEND the MAOF website to your friends and colleagues worldwide, particularly those who speak Russian. Those who do not enjoy the benefit of proficiency in the exquisite Russian language can find many thought-provoking and inspiring articles about Middle-Eastern and world affairs in the English section [2].

Sincerely,

Haim Goldman
