Jihadi Du Jour: Peace doesn't come through withdrawal

Arabs will not decrease violence to allow Israel for honorary withdrawal from the West Bank. Just like the Jewish fighters haunted the British in Palestine in 1947, Arabs will continue killing Jews even though Israel evacuates Gaza and the West Bank. Diplomats like Peres cannot understand why Arabs keep on killing Jews even in the face of diplomatic surrender. Simple: Arabs correctly view their victory as the product of fighting rather than diplomacy. Add their hatred of Jewish occupiers. Arabs will continue killing the Jews until the last Jew leaves their land – which is not limited to the West Bank. The peace process only prompts the Arabs to kill the retreating enemy. Arab mujahedeen similarly flocked to Afghanistan after the Soviets announced their withdrawal.

The Golan Heights show how simple the peace process really is. The hotly contested Golan are the safest part of Israel. No terrorists cross from Syria. Sneaking through the hapless peacekeepers is not a big deal. The desire to confront Israel is there: recall a constant stream of guerrillas from Egypt during cease-fire. Syria has the necessary prerequisites for guerrilla warfare with Israel: strong intelligence, zealots, small arms, and Hezbollah and Hamas expertise. Yet Syria refrains from launching guerrillas into Israel. Syria fears Israeli reprisals. Israel attacked Syrian aircraft on several occasions during cease-fire, and overall proved capable and willing to take the war into Syria. Thus, Syria distances itself from guerrilla activity.

IDF mapped hundreds of buildings used by Hamas, PIJ, Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, and other factions. Aggressively destroying them will go a long toward pacifying the terrorist nest.

Extraverted and passionate Arabs recall Azeris rather than Muslim mountaineers. Eager to establish their social stance but unable to do so by rational means, Arabs resort to heated arguments, bullying, and spontaneous violence. They are not quiet, thorough, and dispassionate killers like mountaineer Muslims. Arabs fight fiercely at first only, and only for short time. Countered with cruel force or ignored, they cease. Concessions – mini-victories – prop their pride and push to continue. Counter-intuitive as that may sound, concessions lead to no peace. Historically, too, peace negotiations between nations commenced near the war' end. Negotiations during the war embolden aggressor and suggest him to persist in violence.
