One has to consider the violent and virulent power of the
radical Islamic memeplex infecting many Palestinians. Arafat feared
assassination at the hands of the Radical Islamists much more than he
feared it at the hands of the nevertheless hated Israelis, even the
Zionists, because they do not enjoy the power to force the
governmental collusion that Hamas (Zeal), Hizbollah (Party of God) and
Islamic Jihad (Islamic Struggle) enjoy to force their agenda upon a
necessarily compliant Palestinian Authority. In Israel, such people as
the assassinated Kach leader Meir Kahane are on the fringe; in
Palestine, they comprise the mainstream.
When we look at Ted's flawed parallels, we see that the whites
have been able to perdure in a black-ruled South Africa, and the same
goes for whites in the the US after the Civil War, the end of Jim Crow,
and the Martin Luther King civil rights revolution. Who seriously
believes that, instead of the Israelis, if Hamas, Hizbollah and Islamic
Jihad had the weaponry that the Israelis possess, that a single Jew
would remain alive in Israel for long?
