Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman had this to say at a Jerusalem Post sponsored diplomatic conference in Israel the other day.
“My sense is that all the promises and commitments to Israel’s security are mere words. When push comes to shove, many key leaders would be willing to sacrifice Israel without batting an eyelid in order to appease radical Islamist militants and ensure quiet for themselves.”
Liberman’s statement was correct, especially considering the virulent and growing anti-Semitism in Europe and the West, especially considering the large and growing Muslim populations in Europe and the West, especially considering the rapid Islamization of Europe and the West, especially considering the vicious anti-Israel narrative being promoted in Europe and the West and the ongoing attempts to delegitimize her, especially considering the sanctification of the Palestinians in Europe and the West and the disingenuous attempts to pin all the blame for their problems and the problems of the Middle East on Israel, especially considering Islam, the root cause of all the hatred, violence, destruction, bloodshed and death in the region and beyond.
Israel cannot depend on anyone to come to her aid militarily at the moment of truth (including the United States under America’s dear leader President Obama whose stupidity, shortsightedness and venality know no bounds) and it would be foolish of her to think otherwise. When Israel is attacked in force and the moment of truth comes, and it will thanks to Islam and her Islamic neighbors, Israel will be quite literally alone. Other countries may provide material assistance but no one will assist militarily. Israelis must recognize and understand that, must never forget that, must stay strong and capable, must act in their own best interests no matter what anyone else thinks and must do whatever they need to do to ensure their own survival.
European Union leaders may be outraged but Liberman was right...when push comes to shove they would be willing to sacrifice Israel. In fact, when push comes to shove they will abandon Israel...when push comes to shove they will be nowhere to be seen.
What are they outraged about anyway? It couldn’t be because they know that what Liberman said was true and they don’t want to admit it, could it?
Sure it could.
Whatever the case may be if they think appeasing Islamists and abandoning and sacrificing Israel will buy them quiet and peace and security they are dead wrong.
It won’t, and anyone who knows anything about Islam knows that it won’t. All it will do is reaffirm their own ignorance, blindness and weakness, encourage the Islamists in European countries to push and push and push some more in their quest to turn Europe into an Islamic continent and hasten their own demise.
Then there’s the example of Czechoslovakia.
Liberman also said “All expressions and promises of commitment to Israel’s security from all around the world remind me of similar commitments made to Czechoslovakia (in 1938) and the pressure made on the Czech president to partition the Sudetenland.
After all the promises and guarantees that were provided, Nazi Germany occupied all of Czechoslovakia, bringing an end to its existence.”
That’s something else Israel should never forget.
