I’m an optimist. Whenever someone says the things cannot possibly get worse, I retort that they surely can. In politics, degradation cannot hit the bottom – the bottom is continuously moving down.

Many viewed the landmark election of Rabin on Arab votes as the end of Jewish state. Then Sharon evicted Jews from the very settlements he asked them to build. Olmert the apparatchik was swept into the power by hardly 14% of eligible voters and a dead boss. Peretz the Peace Now activist was appointed the Defense Minister. He was replaced with Barak, who presided over the year 2000 Israeli giveaway of south Lebanon to Hezbollah and passed Israel’s only significant gas field to Arafat; corruption and treason go hand in hand. The Knesset elected Shimon Peres, the murderer of the murderer of Altalena, a president despite Peres’ glaring corruption and Jew-hating policies; MKs chose to forget that it was Peres who brought the insignificant PLO from Tunis into the West Bank’s prominence and launched the Oslo process which claimed more Jewish casualties than the Yom Kippur War. With all the political scum thus employed, it’s hard to imagine another shocking appointment, but it will surely follow.

People who breached a moral barrier go all the way to denying existence of that barrier in order to justify themselves. Criminals continue committing crimes. Israeli political establishment stepped on a sleazy surface of betrayal in Madrid and redefined capitulation as “peace process,” concessions to the losing and unrepentant enemy as “moral obligation,” and policies clearly detrimental to Jews as beneficial to the Golem of the Middle East peace. The Israeli Jew-haters recognize immorality of their policies and depend on brainwashing the masses; not surprisingly, recent poll indicates that Kadima voters – uniquely among Israelis – overwhelmingly want the Diaspora Jews to stay away from Israel. Normal, zealous Jews, whether American or Russian, are dangerous to Jew-hating Israeli politicians. Mental normality is relegated to the lowest levels of Israeli society whose members suffered the least brain damage from the leftist educational system: the same poll shows that only the Jews with elementary education favor government spending to strengthen ties with the Diaspora.

Only the utter disrespect for everything Jewish allows the government to brainwash the Jews. The leftist education substitutes tolerance to the sworn Arab enemy for patriotism. Most of the criticisms I receive come from Israeli youths. They don’t dispute facts or even analysis but condemn me solely for criticizing Israel. Leftists fostered a quasi-right generation of jingoists who hate the Arabs without trying to understand them, whose patriotism is hollow, lacking a definable national idea. The leftist-controlled media manipulates public opinion as if the audience consists of automatons rather than fellow Jews.

What but Jew-hatred explains the peace process? Palestinians are sending suicide bombers to Israel while Palestine is de facto a state; why would the cease with de jure statehood? Israel doesn’t want the hassle of policing the territories? fine, stop policing them, just guard our borders as we would guard them against the Palestinian state. Don’t want to care about the Palestinians’ welfare as an occupational force must care? formally end the occupation, abandon the Palestinian towns. Want security guarantees from Palestinians? better go think about security threat from Iran. Israel, like Egypt did not want to police Gaza – a giant inner city. What did that logically has to do with destroying Gush Katif? Israel could have both abandoned Gaza and annex Gush Katif as an insular area. True, Gush Katif required protection – but so do Sderot and Haifa. Similarly, Israel can disengage from Palestinian-settled areas (until a leader arises to drive the Arabs to Jordan) while retaining blocks of Jewish settlements and huge unpopulated areas. Muslims have already swallowed the insult of a Jewish state in the land they consider theirs; would they reject peace with Israel because of a few thousand acres taken from the state of the Palestinians whom they despise? Hebron, in many respects, is more important to Jews than even Jerusalem, but Netanyahu gave it to Arabs; why? After the wars of 1948, 1956, 1967, 1973, 1982, 2006 – does the Israeli government imagine that Hebron is an obstacle to the peace? Israel’s chances of a lasting peace with Muslims are same whether with or without Hebron – zero; why not retain Hebron, then? Does Israeli government believe that Muslims will fight Israel if she removes Haram ash-Sharif complex from the Temple Mount and rebuilds the Temple? Of course, not. Islamic terrorists won’t hate the Israel that destroyed Al Aqsa more than they now hate the Israel that ostensibly massacred Arabs in Deir Yassin or the Israel that merely exists. Islamic dictatorships will not fight nuclear Israel. Moshe Dayan honestly expressed the reason for not taking over the Temple Mount: he did not want a second Vatican there, a Jewish Vatican, that is. Jewish idea is an anathema to Israeli rulers. If Jewish idea exists, then they are illegitimate usurpers, criminals who should be cut off from the society instead of ruling it.

If Jewish rulers identified themselves with Jews, Israeli policies could be described as masochistic; in fact, the rulers are sadists. Who can imagine a worse desecration of graves of Jewish martyrs who died in the Arab terrorist attacks than prisoners’ swap? What could be a worse slap in the face of their grieving friends and relatives? The government spits upon the thousands of murdered and maimed Jewish women, children, civilians in order to stage a peace process show. It’s not a matter of whether we want Cpl. Shalit back – though he could be brought back by exchanging him for Ismail Haniyeh. “You don’t know whose blood is redder.” One murder – hundreds of murders – cannot be ignored to avoid another one; hundreds of deaths cannot be exchanged for Shalit’s life. The IDF risks soldiers’ lives to retrieve bodies of their fallen comrades; how much more proper it is to risk Shalit’s life in order to pay the last respect – justice – to the hundreds of Jews murdered by the soon-to-be-swapped terrorists?
Actions can be rationally correct, but still morally unacceptable. Morality is not an abstract phenomenon, but cohesive force of society. Future Jerusalem mayor Teddy Kollek was right – in his worldview – to betray Jewish guerrillas to British intelligence; Ben Gurion and Rabin were right – in the political interest of their party – to shoot the Irgun members on Altalena. Those actions, and many others by leftist Jew-haters, established a rule that some Jews could be sacrificed in the others’ interest. Peres’ “victims of the peace process” concept was a logical continuation of Altalena. Sderot is today’s Altalena. Israeli government kills the people of Sderot by Hamas hands to continue appeasing the Quartet. The government provides humanitarian aid to those who consider Jews sub-humans, who elected Hamas which shells Sderot. Indeed, the residents of Sderot pay taxes used to purchase humanitarian aid for Gazans; doesn’t that come close to digging a grave for oneself? The government sends Jewish soldiers to take casualties evacuating Fatah gangsters from Gaza. The government collects taxes for the Palestinian Administration to pay its employees: the Education Ministry which imbues young Arabs with hatred to Jews, the Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade whose sole aim is to kill Jews.

Israeli ruling clique set Arabs as masters for Jews. Police is afraid to touch Arabs for the fear of leftist lawsuits. Arab neighborhoods not only in Galilee, but in Lod, miles from Ben Gurion airport, are Judenfrei; Israeli police enters them in armored cars. Arab members of Israeli Knesset, whose allegiance is with the PLO and financing – with Arab drug dealers, vote on the matters of life and death for Jews, on the peace process and security of Jewish state. Jews cannot afford exorbitantly priced apartments while Arabs illegally but with impunity build entire neighborhoods of villas. Jews sag under the weight of taxes; Arabs don’t pay them. Ehud Barak, a Defense Minister of the Jewish state, won the Labor leadership on Arab votes; if that’s not a conflict of interest, what is?

Israel and especially Jewish Diaspora organizations use money donated by common Jews to aid to the most anti-Semitic groups such as American Blacks and Indonesians, and engage openly anti-Semitic countries such as Ukraine. Some of those hostile beneficiaries might be good people, but statistically righteous among them are as few as in Sodom. The Diaspora establishment destroy Jewish religious education and push the Jews to assimilate. The Diaspora leaders pay their entrance fee to Gentile political Olympus with the souls of assimilated Jews. The assimilation sparks anti-Semitism as the locals feel threatened and irritated by influx of still different Jews into their society.

Israeli rulers ascended from Jews into the politicians, an Israeli version of dregs-to-riches, fearful dregs into powerful riches. Oligarchy worse than in Russia, Huxlean totalitarianism, Soviet-era socialism, moral subjectivism unseen in America, bureaucracy worthy of the dying Ottoman Empire, more anti-Semitic than any anti-Semitic country. Bureaucrats do not contend themselves with bribes, but humiliate Jews: from old people standing in Israeli embassies for hours to obtain visa to entrepreneurs imploring for permits that shouldn’t exist in the first place to the settlers uprooted at whim to Jewish soldiers sent to death in urban fights in order to satisfy foreign media and domestic leftists. Snobbish with foreigners, Israeli bureaucrats oppress Jews who remind them of their own lowly roots.

The ruling clique permeated the security establishment, media, education. It won’t go away through elections. Israel needs revolution.
