Al Quaeda's New Strategy
Here's a splendid but chilling analysis of Al Quada's new global strategy for Islamic domination authored by Amir Taheri.
It's worth noting that this strategy is currently being used against Israel: kidnappings, holding of hostages, the use of women and children as human shields, homicide bombings, countless gestures that make normal life impossible for the "infidel" and Muslim collaborators.
Tragically, this strategy has been most effective against the current Israeli government.
Let us be clear: The war waged by the Arabs against Israel is a jihadist war and was characterized as such by the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem who, back in the 30's, when he was collaborating with Hitler, declared a holy war against the Jews.
Too many Israelis have embraced the fiction that the war waged against the Jewish State is about refugees, land or so-called occupation.
This is a slick fiction designed to lull Israel into a surrender mode and enable Europe and the international leftist to indulge their most deep seated Jew-hatred behind a fig-leaf of “mere anti-Zionism.”
The strategy outlined is working brilliantly against Israel, who, step by step, have handed enormous victories to the Palestinian Salafist, Khomeinist terrorists in Gaza, Judea, Samaria, Lebanon and Iran.
No wonder the Islamists proclaim their contempt for Israel and the IDF. Israel, the Jewish State, has made it acceptable for Jews to expel Jews from their homes—to create Judenrein villages, towns, entire countries. Further, Israel has made it acceptable to negotiate with Jew-haters and Holocaust deniers about where Jews are permitted to build homes and live their lives.
No wonder the Islamists proclaim their contempt for Israel and the IDF. Israel is negotiating away Jerusalem, and arch-leftist Jews in the west outline intellectual black holes that justify and enable the loss of Judaism's holiest city.
No wonder the Islamists have contempt for Israel and the IDF. Gazastan has terrorized Israel with rockets ever since Gaza was made Juderein, and the Israeli response has been tepid. Now, Israel bows to a foolish truce, even as Gaza continues to launch rockets into Israel. This is not wise state craft, but pure cowardice.
No wonder the Islamists have contempt for Israel and the IDF. They kidnap and murder Jews, then trade Jewish corpses for the most cold-blooded Islamic murderer—true human filth—in Israeli custody.
The Israelis tell themselves that this is a display of higher values. Hizbullah correctly labels it weakness and a lack of patience; a brilliant Muslim victory over the Jewish people.
It proves that crushing the skull of a 4-year old Jewish child is no big deal.
This capitulation to terrorist blackmail declares open season on Jews everywhere.
The Islamists have created a deadly precedent, for if Jews in Israel look to Muslims for permission where to live, well, before you know it there will be zones in Manhattan, Paris, Milan, London, Madrid, Dublin, and Stockholm where Christians will be barred under pain of death.
As Seraphic Secret has frequently written: Jews are the canary in the coal mine of civilization.
The other day, I said to a friend: “I know of no incident in America where a Jew has been kicked out of his home because he is Jewish. I can't say the same about the Israel.”
For the first time in my life I can foresee the end of the Jewish state, not through war, but through incremental steps toward voluntary slavery.
In a notable departure from past al Qaeda strategy, Naji recommends "countless small operations" that render daily life unbearable, rather than a few spectacular attacks such as 9/11: The "infidel," leaving his home every morning, should be unsure whether he'll return in the evening.
Naji recommends kidnappings, the holding of hostages, the use of women and children as human shields, exhibition killings to terrorize the enemy, suicide bombings and countless gestures that make normal life impossible for the "infidel" and Muslim collaborators.
Once parallel societies are established throughout the world, they would exert pressure on non-Muslims to submit. Naji believes that, subjected to constant intimidation and fear of death, most non-Muslims (especially in the West) would submit: "The West has no stomach for a long fight."

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
Whatever happened to the people who said..."never again"?

For what it is worth, I think the starting point was Olmert's failure to truly punish Hezbollah during the 06 war and ending the hostilities without either or both the return of the hostages and Nasrallah's testicles. I think the same can be said about Gaza. What is happening from Gaza are daily acts of war. Israel is more than justified in defending itself with all the violence necessary to stop these attacks. Allowing it to continue seems suicidal insanity.

When I was a kid in the 60's and 70's, the Israelis were my heroes.The country that won the Six Day War, that freed the hostages at Entebbe, that would not rest until the murderers of its people had been brought to justice - Israel was my model of how the West should confront its enemies.
What happened to that country?

"Too many Israelis have embraced the fiction . . ."
unfortunately it's not just israel that has embraced these types of fictions.

“Never again” has become: “Again and again”

GW:
Thanks so much for the astute analysis. It's not just Olmert, but major segments of Israeli society are committed to a defeatist mentality.

Tschafer:
I know plenty of Israelis who are heroic in their every day life. Unfortunately, this slice of Israeli society is most often vilified by the liberal media and the chattering classes.

Yes, I have been following the decline and fall of England.
In 25 years England will be under Sharia unless they do an abrupt and ruthless about face right now.
