As the world’s attention is on Israel, it’s worth revisiting the question: what really happened in the Middle East? Why is it so dysfunctional? What prevents people of all religions from living in peace? The highlights of The Terrorism Awareness Project’s presentation are worth reviewing.

“Hizbullah Vows to Open Second Front in Gaza Conflict,” by Hana Levi Julian for Israel National News, December 29 (thanks to Carl in Jerusalem):
Too little too late: Israel is being blamed, as always. The Jews don’t matter, the ‘International Community’ is more interested to pay the jiziyah and to trade with the 1.5 gazillion Muslims around the globe than doing the right thing. Hussein Massawi, former leader of Hezbollah, summed it up very pithily: “We are not fighting so that you will offer us something. We are fighting to eliminate you.” Western governments are deeply deluded about our Islamic enemy; believing that  9/11, Bali 1 & 2, Mombassa, Beslan, London, Baghdad, Jerusalem, Moscow, Jakarta, Casablanca, Riyadh, Istanbul and Madrid, will simply go away if we ignore the problem, or acceed to their demands, is wrong.And even if it weren’t wrong; even if we could buy peace at the price of cowardice, it would be a temporary peace. For those who win by the sword, who profit by the bomb, rarely retire from the business merely because this year’s goals have been met.
Conflicting reports emerged Sunday regarding the fate of top Hamas military commander Ahmed Ja’abri, who may have been killed in one of the hundreds of Israeli air strikes against Hamas infrastructure in the Gaza Strip.

The man who killed Meir Kahane in 1990 claims he did not carry out the shooting alone, as previously thought, but was part of a three-man terrorist cell with links to al-Qaida. Its original target was future prime minister Ariel Sharon, according to a newly-leaked US government document.  ‘Sharon was Kahane killer’s target’ (J’Post)

MONTREAL — Solving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the single most important step in improving relations between the West and the Islamic world, former British prime minister Tony Blair, left, said last week in Montreal.“If we are able to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian dispute, protecting the security of Israel and [creating] a state for the Palestinians, nothing will do more to say to that region that we in the West do not have a double standard, that justice is not only for those of the Judeo-Christian tradition, it is also for the Islamic people,” he said.
It will also be a powerful symbol in promoting Western values elsewhere in the world where allies are needed, added Blair, who has been special envoy of the so-called “quartet” of Middle East peace negotiators – the United Nations, European Union, United States and Russia – since July 2007, shortly after leaving political office.
