A Detour On The Roadmap

No one ever said that the road to peace was going to be an easy one. But it is looking increasingly like either the PA or Israel will have to do something to neutralize Hamas, the Al-Asqa Brigade and other terrorist organizations that will not be party to the process.

The depth of the indoctrination that some of these groups are engaged in, Hamas in particular, is amazing. Check out some of these quotes from a Hamas children's magazine:

"These days the pain of the Arab and Muslim nation is great. Blood and body parts in the fighting Palestine; destruction, betrayal, theft, looting, killing, and rape in Iraq: whose blood has been forsaken by the British, the Americans and the Jews."

"The people of this land have witnessed the events on the land of Iraq, whose blood was forsaken. They saw the aircraft setting everything ablaze, destroying homes with their residents, tearing down enormous buildings. They didn’t overlook one school, university, hospital, neighborhood, market or mosque. They rendered everything into dust and ashes."

Is it any wonder that the kids in Palestine are screwed up? Between reading this and Daddy dressing them up in gun belt and grenades, it’s a wonder that there aren't more kids wanting to jihad against the infidel.

The level of systematic child abuse in the territories is amazing. Kids are encouraged to physically harm themselves in religious "celebrations", they are mentally abused with lie after lie after lie and being told how inferior they are, then the parents and society encourage them to die, partly to "support the cause," partly because of the $25,000 payments that would help the family. It's child abuse and murder.

And these are the folks we have to convince to join the peace process.

The PA has it's work cut out for it in marginalizing these groups and making them appear to the Palestinians as the loony nutcase should be fringe groups that they are.

No one ever said that the roadmap would be simple or even a straight line. The terrorists are going to do everything possible to stop their demise through peace. It's put up or shut up time for Abu Mazen and company. Are they going to allow this "children's" magazine to pass without comment?

Or will they take a stand and show that they are capable of doing the right thing?
