Depths of a depraved culture

By Joel Mowbray, March 24, 2004.

Palestinians poured out into the streets Monday in what the New York Times
called the largest demonstrations in a decade-all to honor the memory of a
master terrorist, Hamas founder and “spiritual leader” Sheikh Ahmed Yassin. It
was a hero’s memorial, not one befitting a thug hellbent on emulating Adolf
Hitler.

The reaction of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians reveals the depths of a
depraved culture created by “spiritual leaders” like Sheikh Yassin.

Political arguments can be made as to whether or not Israel’s targeted killing of
Hamas’ chief executive was a prudent tactical move or if governments should
be in the business of killing terrorists rather than arresting them.

But no argument can be made that Sheikh Yassin was anything but a
bloodthirsty thug.

Sheikh Yassin-as Hamas’ “spiritual leader”-was responsible for
“inspiring” 52 youths to blow themselves up for “martyrdom,” preaching that
Allah would reward them for killing Jews.

Since the start of the intifada, Hamas has murdered 377 Israelis and wounded
more than 2,000. It’s impossible to fathom the profound depravity of a society
that could hail as a hero a mass murderer. Imagine if people had taken to the
streets to celebrate the life of notorious serial killer Ted Bundy when he was
executed in 1989.

That wouldn’t be an entirely fair comparison, however; even the highest
estimates are that Bundy murdered fewer than 100 women.

But such is the sorry state of Palestinian society, where everything from the
law to children’s textbooks is geared toward the realizing the goal of driving the
Jews into the sea.

Although the Palestinian Authority recognizes the crime of murder, it does not
apply to those who slaughter Jews. In nearly eight years since Oslo, there is no
record of anyone prosecuted by the Palestinian Authority serving a full sentence
for conspiring, planning, or masterminding the murder of Jews.

Consider that the four men arrested-and now released-by the Palestinian
Authority (PA) for carrying out the bombing of the U.S. convoy in Gaza last
October were charged not with murder, but involuntary manslaughter. That
they were charged at all, though, is a testament to the fact that the PA, at least
on the surface, does not sanction the murder of Americans. (Never mind that
51 Americans have been killed since the start of the intifada.)

Involuntary manslaughter is a charge applied to people who could not have
foreseen that their actions could have reasonably led to someone’s death. In
the convoy bombing, the PA prosecutors charged involuntary manslaughter
because, they contended, the four men had intended to kill Jews – which is not
a punishable offense, at least not in the PA.

What PA dictator Yasser Arafat and the likes of Sheikh Yassin have carefully
cultivated over the years is not a culture of death, but a cult of death.
Palestinians are placed on the indoctrination assembly line at a very young age,
feeding a terrorist complex that depends on a steady stream of fresh young,
mindless bodies to become human bombs.

No doubt a large contingent at Sheikh Yassin’s memorial service were
brainwashed young products of Yassin’s “spiritual” guidance.

A New York Times interview with 17-year-old Muhammad Abu Hussa is
particularly disturbing: “Asked what would bring peace, he replied, ‘The Jews
should be annihilated.’ He made chopping gestures at his throat, hands and
legs. ‘They should be turned into parts,’ he said.

The most comforting thought about Abu Hussa to an American is that the
teenager is a Palestinian.

But given the reaction to Yassin’s death of some so-called “moderate”
Muslim groups in the US, it is a fair question to wonder whether Islamic
institutions here are producing their own bloodthirsty youths here.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which labels itself a Muslim
civil rights organization, issued a press release Monday identifying Sheikh
Yassin only as “the most prominent Palestinian Islamic figure.” Similar was the
Muslim-American Society, which went with “Palestinian religious leader.”

Legitimate questions can be raised about Israel’s targeted killing of Sheikh
Yassin. But a much more important one is what it says about both hundreds of
thousands of Palestinians and supposedly mainstream Muslim groups in the US
that a mass murderer is hailed as a “religious leader.”

Over Likoed Nederland

In Nederland is Likoed geen politieke partij maar een vereniging.

Voorlopers van Likoed Nederland maakten sinds 1930 onderdeel uit van de Nederlandse Zionistenbond. Die is in 1899 opgericht om het zionisme in Nederland te bevorderen. In 1992 is die omgevormd naar de Federatie Nederlandse Zionisten en is Likoed Nederland een zelfstandige vereniging geworden.
