What Do the Israeli Leadership Elites Not Understand Yet? By Shalom Pollack

What do the Israeli leadership elites not understand yet?

Have you noticed that terrorists love to kidnap Israeli hostages and do so with growing scope and frequency? Perhaps it is because it works so well.
 And have you noticed that this weapon is not used by Arabs against other Arabs? They also don't rape other  Arabs in the war against each other all the time but they know what is not done. 

Jews?  -  party time!

Have you wondered why?

Perhaps you recall a few months ago, a couple of Druse young men ( an Arab non-Muslim minority who serve with distinction in the Israeli army) were involved in a car accident in Jenin (PA territory) After being taken to the local "Palestinian" hospital it was discovered that they were Israeli citizens and the terrorists announced that they were holding Israeli hostages in return for terrorists prisoners in Israel.

Had they been Jewish Israelis there would have begun a drawn-out gut-wrenching period of negotiations, demonstrations to "free them now at any cost!  " and ultimately bowing to massive blackmail and depressing national humiliation.

However, the Druse community in Israel did not turn to the Israeli authorities to free their sons from the terrorist kidnappers.

They knew better.

Unlike the sophisticated, humanitarian Jews, they understood in which neighborhood they lived.

They blocked the main road artery of Israel and announced that if their people were not released in a few hours the entire Druse community of Israel (200,000 )  would kill any "Palestinian" they saw until the release. The  Druse were ready to go on the warpath for their kinsmen. It's a thing that our Jewish leadership has tried to quash;  it's called pride.

 Arabs understand that very well. That is also why they never rape each other. Some things are just not worth the gain.

But  Jews..? Party time!

It wasn't always this way.
 In the pre-state period, Ben Gurion ordered a team to abduct  Arab rapists of Jews and permanently changed their masculine physiology. Word got out quickly, even without social media, and other Arab rapists quickly fled the country.

But we matured. Now we pay, and pay, and pay the price for " Jewish morality"?

When Moses wiped out the Canaanites to free just one hostage, a Jewish maidservant did he forget what is true Jewish morality? Why didn't he negotiate?

In the Seventeen nineties, Muslim pirates in North Africa discovered a lucrative source of income. They began to abduct Western citizens at sea for ransom for which their governments paid handsomely, and so the practice continued until President  Thomas Jefferson had enough.
The Marines (.".to the shores of Tripoli.".) were sent in, not to negotiate or pay a ransom. They solved the problem, some say that even "noncombatants"  were killed. 

In the Nineteen eighties in another Muslim land, they were up to their old tricks again.

Western citizens were abducted from the streets of Beirut and held for large ransoms which  Western governments paid. The abductions continued of course.

Finally, the KGB was called upon to quietly deal with it when a Russian national was abducted.
The families of the terrorists had their body parts sent by mail to their homes.
The abduction of Russians ended.

 Amidst the current war of survival, we are engaged in against an enemy that plays by no rules. Is there anything we should be learning from the past?

The world has no time or use for losers.
Everyone respects a winner. They may not always like them but they respect them.

Israel rejected  Torah values and, desperate to be loved by the Nations, adopted a policy of rewarding its enemies. It has resulted in escalating  criticism, and losing respect and friends.
Trying to walk and talk just like them hasn't worked.

Latent antisemitism does not attract large crowds when Israel wins and does not look over its shoulder for approval. Rather it is the policy of appeasement and self-denigration to please a hostile world that led to the continued contempt of the Nations and the subsequent deterioration of national confidence.
It has simultaneously led to the serious deterioration of personal security in the country.

To stop this growing tragedy, the current confused and arrogant leadership and elites across the board must be replaced with those tightly attached to our Jewish roots; who do not measure success in how well we can hide our  Jewish identity and "be like them". 

The hope and prayer of the  Jewish majority in Israel is that the shocking events of the Simchat Torah had a higher purpose; it was the eleventh-hour rescue from being swept away in the swirling whirlpool of self-hate to civil war. 

On the eve of the massacres, Jews witnessed with anguish and horror the march of self-hatred to self-destruction. 
The Jewish majority pray to be freed of  the current elites who brought us to this brink of disaster

Not every generation is witness to dizzying and unpredictable events as we do today.

May we merit true Jewish leadership with the clarity to see and understand and with the faith and strength to bring us back to where we are meant to be.

We can not know how many more chances we will be granted to make it right.
