Killing every Jew

Regarding “Hamas atrocities smash longtime faulty strategy” (October 13): After witnessing Hamas’s barbarity this month, there is no room for equivocation: Hamas’s charter calls for killing every Jew in the world. The media must learn the facts of radical Islam’s war against the West and to use accurate terminology.

Article 80 of the UN Charter clarifies that Israel includes Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) and Gaza. That is the international law that governs territorial questions.

There is no occupation. There are no Palestinian territories.

There is no Palestine. The Palestinian people are a recent pseudo-ethnicity. Only Jews were called Palestinians until the Soviet KGB and Egypt created the Palestinian Liberation Organization in 1964. The Soviets simply called Israel, “Palestine” and all the Arabs living there, “Palestinians.”

The PLO’s modus operandi was terrorism. They called for killing Israelis. They still do. They hijacked aircraft, bombed targets around the world, and slaughtered athletes, all to publicize their issue.

The PLO fomented civil wars in Jordan and Lebanon. They supported Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait.

The Oslo Accords, in 1993, allowed the PLO to temporarily govern parts of Israel until a two-state solution could be implemented.

In 2005, Israel gave Gaza to the PLO/PA, Jew-free, so they could demonstrate their ability to run a state. In 2007, Hamas threw out PA supporters, turning the strip into a terror base. The international community must support Israel in its fight against Hamas. Hamas must be vanquished in order for peace to have a chance.

When the smoke clears, the Arab League can prod the PA to sit down with Israel and resolve issues. The American Peace to Prosperity plan points the way.
