     Redeployment... what a magnificent concept!  It is so gratifying to know that we have
on the staff of our government such creative minds which can turn black into white, night into
day, bad into good, and garbage into a rose garden, merely by the stroke of a pen.  
     Now, from those who brought us "Autonomy" (not an independent Arab state);
"withdrawal" from Gaza and Jericho (not surrender to the PLO army); and the establishment
of the "Palestinian Police" (not the arming and training of Arab terrorists), we are being sold
another pig in the poke, "Redeployment" (not surrender of military bases and police
headquarters throughout Judea and Samaria to Arab terrorists).
     Abraham Lincoln once said, "You can fool all of the people some of the time, and
some of the people all of the time.   But you can't fool all of the people all of the time."  What
Lincoln never considered was the possibility of the "some" who could be fooled all of the time
would be fooling themselves and also be in positions of political leadership.  We are led in
Israel by political hacks who have sold themselves a bill of goods for so long that even the
stark reality of cold blooded murder cannot shake them out of their world of make believe.
     Any idiot can see that we are making peace while our enemies are making war and we
refuse to recognize it.  We listen to all our Arab enemies, from Mubarak to Arafat and the
Hamas, and fail to hear what they still say.  They are embarked upon a process to redeem
"Palestine" (not Israel) from the Jewish people.  
     "What they really mean", whine the Israeli Cabinet Ministers who have to interpret for
us, "is that they want Judea and Samaria.  I am sure they will settle for half of Judea and
Samaria for a real peace agreement."
     So now that we know what they "really" want, our government goes into high gear to
make "peace".   Rabin continues his plans for further surrender, while continuing to arm our
enemies,  and Peres goes all over the world raising money to finance the coming Arab war
against the Jews.... all in the name of "Peace" (not war).
     Every Jew who is murdered by Arab terrorists, on either side of the so called "green
line", is a "sacrifice for peace", (not a victim of war).  The more such sacrifices we suffer, the
closer we are to full peace.  After all, when they annihilate us all we will certainly have
complete peace!
     Word games can be amusing if you are playing scrabble.  But the government of Israel
is playing with our lives and with the future of the Jewish State and the Jewish people.  Was
Lincoln wrong?  Can they really fool all of the people all of the time?  
     No Jew, anywhere in the world, has the right to be silent as the government of Israel
works feverishly to transform the Jewish dream of 2000 years into a nightmare of self
destruction.  The future they are working so hard to destroy is yours!!!
