Our Own Worst Enemy

       Hanna Ashrawi, an outright enemy of the Jewish State, doesn't simply "meet with
Arafat", rather personally conducts a campaign to destroy the Jewish State from within, yet is
treated like Israel's last hope for peace here.  
       Any law that can be dredged up from the archaic Turkish- British legacy to put this
enemy behind bars or have her deported would only serve the interests of the Jewish State.
       Instead we have our famous self haters, such as Shulamit Aloni and Yael Dayan
along with a few pompous Jewish "professors", who cry out to protect those who have come
to destroy them.  
       Where were these whining crusaders for justice and human rights when, about
twelve years ago, Israeli police knocked on the door of Rabbi Kahane's Jerusalem home in the
middle of the night, arrested him without any charges and held him in Ramle prison for six
months on the whim of the arch traitor and then Minister of Defense, Ezer Weizman?   
       Justice Minister Harish cannot decide whether there is enough evidence to charge
Ms. Ashrawi with a crime, other than statements she made on Jordan Television.  He has even
suggested that the entire Knesset might have to meet to make such a decision!  What is the
problem here?  We have the precedent.
       Where is Moshe Arens?  Why doesn't he simply put away the Ashrawi-Husseini
team as suspected security risks and throw away the key?  These Arabs are clearly tools of the
PLO and are working directly for them openly in the Jewish State!
       What has become of our sanity?  We have no trouble locking up Jewish
demonstrators for speaking Jewish truths, but outright enemies who incite and direct terror
have "legitimate rights"?!  
       The fact is that these degenerate "equal rights" advocates are nothing of the sort. 
They are actually bigots who are trying to cover up their own racial prejudices by dafka
crusading for Arab rights.  By so doing they think that they are appeasing their own
consciences, but in fact they are taking out an insurance policy.  
       These cowards believe that Israel will eventually be destroyed by the larger Arab
world.  They have convinced themselves that, by taking the side of our enemies now, when
Israel is eventually destroyed they will have won the good graces of our enemies.
       What they fail to realize is that if their doomsday philosophy were to occur (and it
never will), they will be the very first to be slaughtered by those whom they fawn over today. 
Jewish history is filled with many examples of such folly.
       The problem before us is more than how to survive our enemies, rather how to
survive ourselves.
