Kort Explores conundrums of the human condition

Violence in the middle east continues. Once again, while mouthing the empty facade of desiring peace, the PLO has demonstrated its support for those committing terrorism, and refused to take any meaningful actions to stop the violence that has proved so advantageous to the PLO in the past. The world is quick to demonize Israel for any imagined slight of those seeking its violent destruction, but where is the meaningful condemnation of the Arab terrorists? Oh sure, the politicians mumble some mild regrets for the innocent victims of radical Islamic violence, but once again demand that no meaningful efforts to end the violence be taken in order to "preserve the peace process".

Western governments and the media continue to struggle to define the endless violence in the Middle East within the context of western civilization. But can there ever be any real peace in the Middle East given the motivations and beliefs of the combatants? Why has it been so difficult for peoples that from the outside seem so similar to get along? Could it be that a peaceful resolution is not an acceptable outcome for at least some of the participants?

Political pressure - largely from the US - has forced the Israelis to deal with the PLO as "equals" and as legitimate representatives of the Palestinians. In spite of their consistent history and continuing policy of violating the human and civil rights of others, the PLO has been invited to join the community of civilized people. The PLO has repaid this invitation by engaging in further murders and political extortion to extract concessions from the Israelis in the name of the "peace process".

True to its historical nature, the officially recognized PLO has continued to engage in the same behaviors that brought it to power. Even the PLO admits that at least half of its budget goes to feed the massive corruption that infests the organization all the way to the top. The uniformed PLO police, armed and empowered at the demand of the Western powers, instead of performing the functions expected of police in the civilized world, are themselves engaged in committing terrorist violence against Israeli civilians. Instead of arresting and prosecuting the terrorists in their area and under their control, the PLO routinely releases violent extremists back into the civilized world to inflict further grief and loss on the innocent. Instead of maintaining order, the PLO encourages and protects the stone throwers and organized "rioters" who have proven so useful in suppressing the lawful rights of others within the PLO dominated west bank, and destroying any possibility of building a tolerant secular society.

Thanks to the well publicized PLO protected violence, the PLO has managed to totally distort the coverage of the home building "controversy" in Jerusalem. The PLO and radical Muslims have long been engaged in a massive program of illegal construction for radical Muslims all over Jerusalem, while the world press totally ignores the actions of the PLO and focuses its attention solely on the limited construction of homes for Jews. The radical Arabs are actively engaged in "creating political realities on the ground" while using the farce of the "peace process" to hamstring their intended victims. Haven't we seen this venal deception played against us often enough by the despots and degenerates of the past to recognize it when we're being scammed yet again? Apparently not.

Like an Alzheimer's patient who sees the world anew each day, the liberal press and US government have once again expressed surprise at the continued violence in PLO dominated areas. They yet again, instead of demanding meaningful changes in the PLO, demand further appeasement of the PLO killers from their Israeli victims in the blind hope of buying good behavior from those who have never shown the slightest remorse for their long history of racist violence. In spite of continuous evidence that the PLO is unwilling to abandon its support for terrorists, the liberal press and establishment refuses to recognize the basic nature of the organization. The US government through its continued unconditional support for the PLO is increasingly becoming an accessory in the crimes against civilization committed by the PLO and the gangs of sociopaths it shelters.

Within Western social philosophy we've come to reject racism as an abomination and unacceptable obstacle to the diversity and peaceful coexistence we profess to value. In the West we continue to castigate ourselves over relatively minor flaws in our multiracial society where individuals from visually very different racial groups not only live peacefully as neighbors but even intermarry. Having paid a high price to eliminate the racism of slavery and the Nazis in the past, it has become quite rightly politically incorrect to support those who continue to advocate racism as a fundamental part of their political philosophy. Which brings us to the obsessive racism that is at the core of so much misery in the Middle East.

The conflict in the Middle East dates back to Abraham, the shared father of both Jews and Arabs, and the different women by which he sired both tribes. Middle East society is basically a matriarchy, with the Jews tracing their linage from Sarah and her son Isaac, and the Arabs tracing their linage from Hagar and her son Ishmael. While illegitimacy has lost much of its stigma in the Western world, the illegitimate Arab descendants of Ishmael have ever since waged a murderous campaign against the legitimate descendants of Isaac. According to the Arab perspective, each tribe is separate and distinct racial group, and their hostility is based on genetics not religion.

It is the racism of the radical Arabs that is at the core of the conflict in the Middle East, not the intentionally created popular misconception of politics or religion. Unwilling to compete in the real world on the basis of their own merits, Arab racists attempt to boost their own egos by imagining themselves somehow racially superior to the Jews who turned the barren wastelands of old Palestine into the vibrant and vital state of modern day Israel. Rather than inspire them to similar feats of accomplishment, the success of Israel instead inflames the Arabs to attempt the elimination of this most glaring proof of their own continuing failures.

Within this perspective, no peaceful resolution will ever be acceptable to the radical Arabs as long as the hated Jews continue to survive. Biblical prophecy indicates that the descendants of Ishmael will cause the end of our world in their relentless efforts to kill the descendants of Isaac. The radical Muslim believers of this prophecy also believe that they will gain a place of honor in heaven by dying while bringing about the end of our world. Is it any wonder that there is so little interest in real peace among the radical Muslims?

The PLO has always been a terrorist organization whose sole claim to political existence has always been the violent murder and intimidation of all moderate alternatives. Unable to implement their fanatical racism through force of arms, the radical Muslims have turned to terrorist empowered political extortion to achieve their frustrated goals of eliminating the rights of Jews to live anywhere in the middle east. But is it right to respect the political rights of those who refuse to respect the same rights of their victims, and who consistently abuse that respect to attack the fundamental foundation of rational civilization?

At what point does the real behavior of the PLO start to matter in the way the world treats this front for degenerate racists? At what point do we admit that the facade of the "peace process" is in reality nothing more than the bankrupt policy of appeasement of violence? At what point do we recognize that the obsessive racism of the radical Arabs is by definition contrary to all that we hold dear, and reject their claim to respect just as we rejected the very same claims when voiced by the slave holders and Nazis of the past?

Isn't it time to recognize reality and abandon our support of the self proclaimed enemies of all we hold dear? Isn't it time to demand real recognition of the basic principles on which our civilization is based as a primary condition for those seeking our respect and support? The Israelis have proven over and over that they are true participants in the civilized world. The Arabs have endlessly declared themselves the enemies of our modern technological civilization. Do we really have a rational choice on whom to support here?
