His point was that Israelis have long believed, no matter what happens, they could always defend themselves and turn any situation to their advantage. Barak said Israel's withdrawal will bring peace and security and a normal daily routine. The State Department's top Middle East negotiator, Dennis Ross, joins the castrati chorus when he repeats the fiction that the source of all conflict in the region is the Israeli-Palestinian dispute. These assertions about phony agreements do not change the goal of Israel's annihilation by her enemies. According to the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz, North Korea has supplied new long-range Scud ballistic missiles to Syria and is negotiating to sell similar weapons to Egypt, which has a peace treaty with Israel.
Syrian missiles can now reach virtually any target in Israel.
North Korea has built a Scud-production facility in Syria, according to Ha'aretz. Stocking up on weapons is not the behavior of people whose ultimate objective is peaceful coexistence with Israel. It is planning for Armageddon. The State Department will wring its hands and issue statements saying if only Israel had given up more land earlier its demise could have been avoided. And then, like Pilate, our government will wash its hands of the whole affair, claiming to be innocent of the blood of the Jewish nation.
