Note
from Jan: I have been watching the media for this "global march" for
many weeks. This is sinister. It is a foreshadowing of the prophecy of
Zechariah 12 - 14 where we find Israel left all alone.
You cannot have "peace" with these people. Those coming against
Jerusalem want only death and destruction. At the same time, the U.S.
State Department does not want to acknowledge that Jerusalem is the
capital of Israel. This action may be inviting chaos in America. I
highly recommend FrontPage Magazine for news and information.

Once again, Israel is confronted by a major threat to its existence, namely, the
so-called Global March to Jerusalem (GMJ) scheduled for March 30. It
is organized by the usual suspects--the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, the
swelling tribe of Ayatollah lovers, the devil's spawn of radical
Leftists--whose intention is to mobilize a million people to breach
Israel's borders and converge on Jerusalem. They are convinced
that Israel will either find itself helpless before a "peaceful"
onslaught of this magnitude or be forced to take action that would lead
to a PR disaster. From their perspective, it's a win-win situation.
One way or another, Israel would be gravely weakened and, according to
an unlettered exchange
between some of the event's organizers, "This will undermine the
Israeli state...& the Zionist edifice which is unraveling as we
speak, will soon fall."
A million unarmed zealots determined to challenge the
Jewish state are by no means unarmed. They are enemy combatants armed
with the sympathy of the international community and the propaganda
weapon furnished by a world-wide anti-Zionist media. They know that
Israel is bound to lose the propaganda war regardless of how it decides
to respond. Islamic states do not suffer from a similar dilemma. After
all, Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad has slaughtered over 9,000 of his
own people in attempting to repress a popular uprising. But the GMJ
organizers--including such well--known bigots as George Galloway,
Reverend Jeremiah Wright and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who sit on the
advisory board--have little or nothing to say about this ongoing
atrocity. Clearly, they are not eager to Occupy Damascus since they
might actually get hurt. But Jerusalem is another matter. They will
have the Israeli Left cheering them on and can bank on the reluctance
of the IDF to apply lethal force.

The
GMJ is also armed with a formidable body of outright lies and gross
distortions that the radical Left, in concert with Islamofascist dogma,
has adopted as doctrinal truth. The so-called Anti-Imperialist Camp, which supports the march, and the official GMF website
have listed the standard batch of falsifications as ideological
ammunition for its adherents. Among the myths and libels enumerated in
these venues, we learn:
- that Palestinians are being expelled from Jerusalem, a claim refuted even by the Leftwing The Nation which recorded a 3% growth of Arab Jerusalemites compared to a mere 1% growth of the Holy City's Jewish residents. According to the globalpost, the Arab population of Jerusalem has grown 209% since the Jordanian defeat in the 1967 war.
- that 85% of Palestinian territory has been despoiled by "foreign settlers." Of course, the organizers are referring to Israel proper, oblivious to the fact that it was Israel that was robbed of 78% of its legally mandated territory, which became the artificially constructed Emirate of Transjordan.
- that only Jewish citizens benefit from Israeli democracy, a lie so brazen that only the terminally brainwashed could believe it.
- that Israel is in violation of international law--when it is Israel, and only Israel, that is in compliance with the League of Nations Mandate, the dispositions of the San Remo Conference, Article 80 of the UN Charter and UN Resolution 242, as well as the laws of war validating the results of the 1967 and 1973 hostilities.
- that Jerusalem is the capital of Palestine, a contention that scurrilously negates several historically attested facts, for example, that there is no such country called Palestine, that a significant proportion of the Arab inhabitants of the contested area are not indigenous "Palestinians" but relative latecomers originating in Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Iraq and North Africa, and that Jerusalem throughout history was the political and spiritual capital of the Jewish people. Indeed, Jews formed the majority of the city's population for much of the census-taking period, as is evident from such meticulously documented volumes as Mitchell Bard's Myths and Facts and Joan Peters' From Time Immemorial.
Buttressed
by such fabrications, the GMJ has effectively declared war on Israel
and has embarked on what is nothing less than a massive invasion of its
sovereign territory. The email previously cited envisions a
"human tide" of one million people now, but aims for five million "next
time...& it will only grow from there." Obviously, this is war by
another name, and Israel is being attacked with a view not only to
inflict a humiliating defeat upon it but to eliminate it entirely from
the roll-call of the world's nations. In essence, this is only a more "humane" version of the Iranian project to wipe Israel off the map.
Judaism
is a life-affirming religion; unfortunately, in the world of practical
affairs, it is all too often the life of its enemies that is affirmed.
The IDF distributes leaflets advising its antagonists of impending
operations, so as not to harm civilians. Jewish organizations engage in
"dialogue" and "outreach" with those who are sworn to their
extirpation. The Jewish Left promotes the boycotting of Israeli goods,
agitates on behalf of the Palestinians and condemns the Jewish
inhabitants of Judea and Samaria--Israel's ancient heartland--as
colonialist "settlers." The Israeli ruling elite is prone to
surrendering legitimately acquired land in exchange for illusory
promises, exposing its citizens to ambushes, incursions and even
short-range missile attacks in ever-contracting territory.
And
now we have the proposed million-man march on Jerusalem. Of course, it
is unlikely that the number is even remotely achievable, but let us
assume for the sake of argument that it were. The question then poses
itself. How should Israel react to the inundation of its capital by a
million people swarming in from Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt? With
water cannons? With the sonic boom of low-flying F-16s? With
conciliatory rhetoric? With civilized debating points? With the keys to
the city? Such expedients do not seem especially convincing.
Plainly,
a workable means of deterrence to what is theoretically a significant
menace to the continued existence of the Jewish state will have to be
arrived at. In the face of the GMJ, no less than the genocidal policy
of Iran, Israel will need to find some way of affirming itself for a
change and ensuring the survival of its Jewish citizens.
