The war of terror, which has been waged against Israel
since October 2000, has brought again to the fore simple facts, which
the government of Israel, as well as most of the media, refuse to
understand and face boldly. The facts are derived from one truth which
should be presented in the clearest words possible: the Arab-Moslem
strategic decision has always been, and will always remain, the
destruction of the State of Israel, and the annihilation of its Jewish
population. The Palestinians are the spearhead of this Arab-Moslem
long-term strategy, and terror has been chosen as the method to weaken
Israel by spreading in it defeatist feelings, and loss of self
confidence.
One of the tactical weapons in the overall plan of
the materialization of this strategy is also the exploitation of the
general sincere hope and yearning for peace in the Israeli public. The
Arabs have long ago discovered that it is enough to use this word
“peace” in English or its equivalents in Hebrew and other European
languages (but not in Arabic) in order to win to their side almost any
public. Nobody has asked them to explain what they mean or compelled
them to act according to the simple message of the word among civilized
people. The Arabs have learned to make good use of the term “peace” –
they would sign any document and distribute any promise knowing that in
return for meaningless words they would achieve real territorial and
other strategic gains and improve their positions on the ground from
which an attack on Israel can be carried out with more deadly success.
To make things look “genuine” and to impress the
fools of Israel and Europe, three words are used by the Arabs who use
three Arabic words for their war and peace, and these three words sum up
their aim and policy: jihad, hudnah, and sulh. Any
one who knows anything about Islam understands their true meaning.
Jihad is a holy war against the infidels –
namely the Jews (later against the Christian too). It is war, and
killing, and nothing else; but the Moslem propagandists speaking to the
delicate European ear sells the story that it is not a real war but a
metaphorical expression. This is a lie. Jihad is a holy war and
the Islamic Jihad is nothing less than an organization of murder.
The person killed in the jihad is a martyr – shahid, who
goes directly to heaven to enjoy food, drink, and sex. The killing of a
Jew, any Jew – man, woman or child, is regarded as holy war.
The second word is sulh. Sulh is
not peace. It is an agreement, which Islam bestows upon the
vanquished enemy. The Moslem side decides the terms of the sulh,
and it can be reached only after the enemy has capitulated, and raised
the white flag
The third word is hudnah. Hudnah is
concluded only between the Moslems and non-Moslems, when the Moslem side
feels itself, at a certain point, too weak to carry on the jihad.
The aim of the hudnah – cessation of hostilities for a limited
period – is to gain time in order to strengthen the Moslem military
capability, and restart the war from a better condition. Hudnah
also aims at tranquilizing the enemy to believe that it has achieved
peace, and catch him off guard. The Islamic side can abolish the
hudnah at will even before the time of expiry, if it feels
strong enough to resume the war. Yet hudnah is the only possible
relation of no-war with the non-Moslems. But for this, the enemy must be
very strong. Only its strength justifies the postponement of its
destruction through jihad.
The
Arabs, as Moslems, and of course Arafat, build on the ignorance of the
Israelis, on the one hand and on their dreams of peace on the other in
order to sell them the poison of death in the wrapping of “peaceful
jihad”, “sulh peace” and “hudnah ceasefire”. Sulh
is not peace and hudnah is no unconditional armistice. The only
condition which compels the Muslims to keep the hudnah is the
their conviction that the enemy is too strong to allow the renewal of
war. Weakness of the enemy encourages the resumption of jihad.
