Colin and George are having conniptions all this week cause Israel is bashing some Palestinian terrorists for a change instead of appeasing them as usual. Powell demands not only that Israel call it quits and get its forces out of Ramallah but promise never to invade the PLO Reichlet again, no matter what the provocation.

Got that? No matter how many Jewish children Arafat murders!

Well, we have composed here a draft of a letter of response that Arik Sharon should send off to Foggy Bottom, albeit a letter he will never have the courage to send:

Dear Secretary Powell:

Let us make something clear. You are interested in maintaining your “coalition” of Arab and Moslem countries, who are pretending to support your attacks on the Taliban. Never mind that they are not lifting a finger to help, except maybe Pakistan very reluctantly. Never mind that they all cheered when the World Center was destroyed and are even now spreading malicious stories about how it was the Mossad and a Jewish cabal who bombed the towers.

Well, let me explain something. If these countries were really partners of yours in your coalition against Islamist fascist terrorism, then they would be cheering and applauding our invasion of the PLO towns this week. They would shoot off fireworks every time we shoot a terrorist. They would rejoice that we were destroying the phoney illegitimate mockery of Islam, and by doing so they would demonstrate for all the legitimate true peaceful religion of peace that you have been insisting all month Islam really is.

The fact that they are all howling and demanding that you allow the Arabs to perpetrate genocide against Jews so that they will remain your coalition partners shows that the difference between them and bin Laden is cosmetic at best.

Now, Israel was established for the simple reason that Jews were tired of the state of affairs where the solution to every earthly problem was to allow Jewish children to be murdered by anti-Semites. If you think we will sit back and allow Arafat and his stormtroopers to do so today with impunity simply because you are trying to maintain a façade of coalition with Islamist fascist countries, you have another thing coming.

Yes, you are afraid that if we bash some terrorist butt this will cause your coalition to unravel. In fact it WILL cause it to unravel, and such unraveling is a very good thing. It will help you understand that these “coalition partners” are not your partners at all but your enemies. This is a war between civilization and barbarism, and the Taliban and the PLO are on the side of barbarism. We will bash them the same way you bash the Taliban.

The only coalition partners who will object are those on the side of barbarism and against civilization.

Which side are you on Colin?

Sincerely yours,

Ariel Sharon
