#1 And yet the Israelis made the dreadful error of not ejecting their treacherous enemies from the battlefield. What kind of victory can you ever have if you just disarm your enemy for the time being, yet let them live among you?

But the Israelis steadfastly not only refuse to deport their enemies, but to give greater and greater autonomy to the enemies in their midst, who have never for even a moment stopped their campaign of violence and destruction.

Germany tried to deport many Jews, but other nations refused to accept them. But had they been successful, would Germany have been condemned at all today for this persecution, or would it have just been a footnote to the war?

Likewise, if 40 years ago, Israel had booted out those who had tried to destroy it, can you imagine how peaceful that part of the world might be?

The Palestinians, who are not an ethnic group, but a mongrel collective, would live in Egypt and Jordan like many of them do right now.

"Palestine" would be as fleeting a memory as the Caliphate is today.

#2 nothing good ever came from the 1967 Six Day War

This is absolutely true, but only from the Arab perspective. After all, they didnt come up with that word nakba for nothing.

"40 bad years" is how he summed up in a recent article the intervening period since Israel was saved from annihilation.

And how the hell would he [Uri Avnery] have phrased it if Israel had lost? Crikey, its like this guy wants to go up the chimney without any outside help.

In the five years following the conflict, Israel's per capita GDP soared by more than 50 percent, exports nearly tripled, unemployment fell and the economy emerged from the painful recession of the mid-1960s. We surged past our neighbors, and Israel now finds itself on a par economically with various European countries.

Yes, but at whose cost? Those who follow the Zero Sum Equation cult shrill out that question whenever they are confronted with undeniable success.

If you really want to end the dispute with our neighbors, then tackle the Palestinian preoccupation with destroying Israel, and peace may just eventually come to pass.

Perish the thought that Arab Muslims might have to forego their visions of genocide. They cling to it like like it was their only hope. So it may well be. Should Islam ever be forced to abandon its quest for dominance, what then would it amount to? Answer: Much like the many failed Muslim majority nations, it would be just another failed ideology. Islam has pinned its entire justification for existing and raison d'etre upon annihilation of the Jews.

Aside from terrorism and abject gender apartheid, one of the single greatest stumbling blocks to Islam's continued existence is its fixation upon genocide. I dread to think about just what sort of catastrophe will be required to, once and for all, divert Muslim attention away from this ghoulish fixation. There seems little doubt that it will involve the death of untold millions of Islam's faithful. So be it.
