ARAFAT & HITLER
By
Samuel L. Blumenfeld
When you come to think of it, there is much that Yasser Arafat has in common with Adolf Hitler. The German dictator was determined to exterminate the Jews of Europe and he used his Hitler Youth organization to indoctrinate German youth to hate and kill Jews. So, when he overran the countries of Europe, he had a ready army of killers willing and able to carry out his plan.
Hitler went so far as to devote an enormous amount of manpower, construction, and rail transport to carry out his plan, even though it meant depriving German soldiers supplies needed at the front. He managed to kill abour six million Jews and, in the process, brought total ruin to Germany. He committed suicide in a bunker in Berlin as the Red Army closed in around him. With his death, the whole Nazi machine of terror came crashing down in ruins.
Yasser Arafat has devoted his entire political career to one goal only--the destruction of Israel. When the Israelis foolishly brought him from Tunis, and installed him as leader of the Palestinian Authority, and armed his police force, it was tantamount to bringing a deadly cobra into one's home.
In complete violation of the Oslo accords, Arafat proceeded to indoctrinate Palestinian children and youth to hate Israel and kill Jews. He managed to conceal from the Israelis his ultimate aim to destroy them. Even when he rejected the incredibly generous offer made by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak at Camp David, Israelis still could not believe that the ultimate aim of the Palestinian Authority was the destruction of the Jewish state.
Hitler had explained exactly what he intended to do in Mein Kampf. And Arafat made it clear what his goal was in what he told Palestinians in Arabic and the messages he conveyed to Palestinian school children in their textbooks. If the Israelis had read the textbooks, they would have realized that Arafat was training his own version of the Hitler Youth to kill the Jews of Israel.
The suicide bombers are Arafat's Hitler Youth in action. They have finally awakened the Israelis to their peril. And the Israelis are beginning to act. They must destroy the terrorist infrastructure which Arafat and his Palestinian Nazis have created. That will require removing the PA leaders, destroying their buildings, and arresting all known and suspected terrorists. Israel cannot do less and survive the terrorist onslaught.
Like Hitler, Arafat is now holed up in his own bunker, awaiting his fate. The Israelis have said they don't want to kill Arafat. Hitler commiiied suicide. But suicide is not Arafat's style. He is bringing total ruin to the Palestinian entity, but that doesn't seem to bother him. He sent Palestinian youth strapped with bombs to do his dirty work. And they've done it.
These gillible youth were promised Heaven, but they've gone to Hell for violating God's Commandment: "Thou shalt not murder." Once the Israelis have completed the job of destroying the terrorist infrastructure, they must find individuals willing to create a new Palestinian government that will accept a peace treaty with Israel. And if that is done, the Israelis must then insist that Arab children and youth be educated to love their neighbors (or, at least, try to get along with them) and to shun terrorism.
Another similarity between Arafat and Hitler is that both men needed war in order to carry out their plans. Hitler started the European war that became part of World War II, during which he was able to exterminate Jews throughout Europe, and Arafat needs a war against Israel by the other Arab nations in order to obliterate Israel. He knows that the Palestinians alone cannot destroy Israel, and he expected that an Israeli attack against him would provoke Arab nations to retaliate. But, to date, that strategy hasn't worked.
Arafat has always believed that he held the trump cards against Israel--the world Liberal media, which is sympathetic to the plight of the Palestinians; anti-Israel demonstrations in the world's national capitals; pressure from the United Nations; and the threat of a wider war against Israel waged by a united Arab front. But because of the Islamic terrorist attack on the U.S.A. on September 11, 2001, Arafat can no longer count on even Saddam Hussein coming to his rescue. Should Saddam lob a single missile against Israel, that would give U.S. Prestdent George W. Bush the green light he needs to obliterate Saddam and his political regime in Iraq. Checkmate!
However, the latest news is that President Bush is trying to rescue Arafat from oblivion. Why? To appease the Arab states. And so, he has sent U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell to try to get a cease fire. But the Israelis are not interested in a cease fire as long as a single terrorist is still free to carry out suicide bombings in Israel.
The Israelis would love to send Arafat into exile. But he doesn't want to go. So, I suggest that the Israelis arrest Arafat and put him on trial as a terrorist. He is no less guilty than Osama bin Laden. In the last few months, Arafat and his minions have slaughtered over 300 Israeli civilians, among whom were a dozen or so American citizens, also killed. Moreover, Arafat is responsible for the murder of U.S. Ambassador Cleo Noel and Charge d'affairs George Curtis in Khartoum, Sudan, in 1993. Wouldn't it be an incredible media event to try Arafat in an Israeli court? Can it happen? Do the Israelis have the nerve to do it? We shall see.
