European leaders and some in the
United States have tried to convince us that it will take a "brave"
Israeli leader to make peace with its hostile Arab neighbors.
Well, "brave" leaders like Ehud Olmert and Ariel Sharon convinced Israel
to surrender the Gaza Strip. Has anyone learned a lesson from that
fateful mistake? Is anyone paying attention to the dozens of
rockets being fired into Israeli towns from Gaza every month?
Now, these same "brave" leaders will
have us believe that giving up the Golan Heights, part of Israel's
biblical homeland, to arch-enemy Syria will somehow lead to peace.
Never mind that Syria is arming Hezbollah in Lebanon, posing a major
security threat to Israel.
We call for Israeli leaders to
show REAL bravery. There is nothing brave about surrender.
We call on Israeli leaders to stand up for what is right. Explain to
the world that the Golan is part of Israel's inheritance. Explain
to the world that Syria used the Golan time and again to fire missiles
into Israel the way Hamas is doing in Gaza. Explain to the world
that the Arabs have 700 times as much land as the Jews. Explain to
Obama and others that Israel cannot risk suicide in order to experiment
with yet another hopelessly naive, hare-brained scheme.
The world has no respect for
leaders that lack self-respect.
