Only FULL APPEASEMENT can satisfy the Terrorists!

Partial appeasement never satisfied Hitler. He wanted all of Europe and Russia plus elimination of the Jewish race. After that he wanted the world.
Partial appeasement will never satisfy Hamas, Hizbullah, Islamic Jihad, and al-Aksa Martyrs Brigades.
They don’t w ant to be
a State alongside the State of Israel.
They want all of Israel, including the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and the end of the Jewish State in the Middle East.
Gestures that involve appeasement are considered signs of weakness on the part of those who make them, and it leads terrorists to believe they can “get it all.” After that they want the world.
I learned the art of appeasing inspectors when we were inspected by a team of inspectors from the next head shed above us in the government complex. You make the action of the activity so impressive that it seems you are making progress when you are not. With enough diagrams and charts attractively presented to the inspectors, sufficient praise of their work and the head shed they came from, introducing several clever new “catchy” expressions of the latest program you have developed, and praise for the suggestions they make to improve your new program, it is quite possible to get a glorious inspection report of your “progress for the sake of progress” presentation. The Head Shed is happy and they all lived happily ever after in the land of never, never!
After chasing the bird of paradise up our noses, and venturing into efforts to bring a true lasting peace to the Middle East in administration after administration, and President after President, we are no closer to doing so than we were 59 years ago. Please do not get the idea I think I could have done any better – There is no doubt in my mind I would have made a much bigger mess. But there was never any doubt in my mind of something else – No matter what man, men, woman, women, or nations tried to straighten out the mess, the only thing that could ever come out of it would be some kind of false peace, which I now believe is likely to come into being in the form of a seven or ten year hudna (truce) with the Palestinians, which will be broken after it has been in place long enough to give Israelis a false sense of “Peace and safety.” It might come in some other way, but there will be a FALSE PEACE.
I Thessalonians 5:3,4 – For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

US official: Bush gov’t appeasing Arabs
THE JERUSALEM POST

The Bush administration is undertaking much of its current Israeli-Palestinian diplomacy to appease the Arabs and Europeans, a top White House
official told a group of Jewish Republicans recently, according
to those present.
Deputy National Security Adviser Elliott Abrams said much of the heightened State Department activity with the two parties was “process for the sake of process” and being done to “assuage the Arabs and the Europeans, who haven’t been happy with the United States [and are] happy to see that there’s at least an attempt or energy being put into the peace process,” according to one attendee at the closed-door meeting.
In response to a question raised at the event about whether “European and Arab pressure could put Israel in a corner,” the National Security Council issued a statement saying that “ultimately, the United States provides an emergency brake.”
Abrams also told the meeting that he would guard against the bureaucrats at the State Department taking over American Middle East policy, as well as Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice falling into the “Clintonian mode” of needing to point to achievements to secure her legacy as her term concludes, according to someone at the discussion.
The source was referring to the increased pace of diplomatic arm-twisting in search of peace between Palestinians and Israelis on the part of president Bill Clinton in the waning days of his time in office.
Rice has traveled to the region several times this year and brokered meetings between Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas as part of efforts to create a “political horizon” of the contours of a Palestinian state. Most recently, the administration presented both parties with a set of benchmarks concerning freedom of movement and security undertakings as a basis of discussion.
Another visit by Rice to Israel and the Palestinian Authority had been in the works, but was postponed last week, a decision the State Department attributed to scheduling issues and the delicate Israeli political situation.
Some observers suggested Rice would have had little to show for her trip, as the sides have differed on the benchmark proposal. Hamas, which controls much of the PA, has rejected it outright, while some Israeli officials have also been critical of the document.
Abrams is said to have suggested, however, that these smaller-level moves, as well as the US plan to help train Palestinian security forces, are more achievable and helpful in the short-term.
Those at the Abrams briefing said they didn’t detect tensions between Abrams and Rice, but rather between the White House approach and that of the State Department bureaucracy. Rice is a newcomer to that establishment, as she served above Abrams as national security adviser during President George W. Bush’s first term.
The NSC stressed that there was no daylight between Rice and Abrams or between
the State Department and the White House.
“Advancing toward peace between Israelis and Palestinians and toward the president’s vision of two states living side by side in peace and security is not only Secretary Rice’s goal, it is a key goal of the President’s,” the NSC statement said. “It is inaccurate to suggest that the White House and State Department are at odds on this issue, for
the entire administration – including Mr. Abrams – is committed to pursuing it and the rest of the President’s agenda.”
