Israeli Suicide

There are a lot of really bad ideas floating around the world today. The worst of the worst has got to be Israel weighing EU membership.

Israel joining the EU would be the equivalent of national suicide. The EU is no friend of Israel. If Israel were to join, the neo-appeasers would sell them up the river in no time. Probably in some kind of a Munich summit, knowing their grasp of their own history.

Joining the EU would take away the Israeli right of self-defense. Should there be an attack from the newly formed Palestine (that will be a requirement of membership), the Israelis won't be able to counter-attack or even to mount a self-defense. They will have to wait for permission and authorization from Brussels.

They'll end up with French "military advisors" advising them on the proper methods and techniques for surrendering. They'll end up with German bureaucrats deciding their fate. Maybe the Germans will be nice enough to set up some UN style concentration refugee camps for the Jews to stay in after they get displaced from Israel.

Joining the EU and subjecting themselves to the whim and folly of Brussels bureaucrats will, in the end, only open up a new terrorist front. No longer will Arafat have to be content with sending in the dumb bombs. He (or his successor in terror) will be able to prod, goad, and bully the EU into surrendering the Israeli territories.

Then after the terrorists have won and the Jews have left the Holy Land again, the farms will turn brown and the cities will fall into disrepair. Why? Because the terrorists are good only at destroying, they know not how to build. The EU and the US will end up supporting what is currently a fairly self-sufficient land. And the anti-Semites of the world will blame the Jews for the decline.

Israel needs to make sure that it does not give up the dream of two millennia. For over fifty years they have been building a real civilization out of the dust, dirt and despair of Judea. There is no reason for them to sacrifice it all for the illusion of peace.
