No Atheists
In A Foxhole

Rudyard Kipling

" ā€œWhen you're left wounded on
Afganistan's plains and

the women come out to cut up what remains,
Just roll to your rifle

and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldierā€
General Douglas MacArthur

" ā€œWe are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.ā€

ā€œIt is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.ā€
ā€œOld soldiers never die; they just fade away.
ā€œThe soldier, above all other people, prays for peace,
for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.ā€
ā€œMay God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .ā€
ā€œThe object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.

ā€œNobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
ā€œIt is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died.
Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass
"Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint."
I've had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said
And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."

Marine Le Pen Just Lost My Vote By Hugh Fitzgerald
Wednesday, April 20, 2022

Marine Le Pen

Robert Spencer : What ā€œnegotiated settlement of the conflictā€ is she talking about? The one that Yasir Arafat turned down flat in 2000, when Ehud Barak offered him some 92% of the West Bank and 100% of the Gaza Strip, with some territorial compensation for the Palestinians from pre-1967 Israeli territory; the dismantling of most of the settlements, and the concentration of the bulk of the settlers inside the 8% of the West Bank to be annexed by Israel; the establishment of the Palestinian capital in east Jerusalem, in which some Arab neighborhoods would become sovereign Palestinian territory and others would enjoy ā€œfunctional autonomyā€; Palestinian sovereignty over half the Old City of Jerusalem (the Muslim and Christian quarters) and ā€œcustodianship,ā€ though not sovereignty, over the Temple Mount? Not good enough; Arafat didnā€™t discuss the offer. He just walked out.

Or did Marine Le Pen have in mind that ā€œnegotiated settlement of the conflictā€ that Ehud Olmert offered Mahmoud Abbas 2008, which included 94% of the West Bank, and territorial compensation to the Palestinians consisting of Israeli land equivalent to 5.8 percent of the West Bank, along with a link to the Gaza Strip, as well as offering to withdraw from Arab neighborhoods of east Jerusalem and to place the Old City under international control? Not good enough. Abbas didnā€™t discuss the offer. He just walked out.

And since then, Le Pen may not have realized, it is the Palestinians who have refused to negotiate face-to-face with Israel. They want others involved, to take their side against Israel, the way that Jimmy Carter and Zbigniew Brzezinski took Sadatā€™s side against Begin in the negotiations leading to the Camp David Accords in 1979. Mahmoud Abbas is waiting for the Quartet ā€“ Russia, the EU, the UN, and the U.S. ā€“ to take charge of negotiations, for he knows perfectly well that three members of that Quartet are on the side of the Palestinians, with only the U.S. providing a modicum of fairness.

Marine Le Pen again:

ā€œThe Israeli-Palestinian conflict can only be resolved by the creation of a viable and democratic independent Palestinian state living in peace and security alongside Israel on borders based on the 1967 lines. This is a fair, equitable and agreed solution to the problems of refugees,ā€ said the leader of the extreme right National Rally party who, as in 2017, will again face incumbent President Emmanuel Macron in a run-off election on April 24.

A ā€œviable and democraticā€ Palestinian state? How likely is it that that will be achieved? Of the 22 Arab states, how many are truly ā€œviable and democraticā€ in the Western sense? Just one, and that one just barely ā€“ Tunisia. In Gaza the Palestinians are ruled by Hamas, a ruthless terror group, that murders its political rivals, beginning with its killing of Fatah fighters in 2007. Just two Hamas leaders ā€“ Khaled Meshaal and Mousa ibn Marzouk ā€“ have amassed fortunes of $2.5 billion apiece ā€“ and decamped, the first to Doha, Qatar, and the second to New Cairo, Egypt. Meanwhile 600 Hamas millionaires, the lesser leaders and their relatives, live in villas in Gaza, far from the prying eyes of the general population. In the West Bank, the PA is ruled by Mahmoud Abbas, who is now in the seventeenth year of his four-year term as President. With his two sons Tareq and Yasser, Abbas has accumulated $400 million, partly from monopolies on goods they control in the PA territories, but mainly from the foreign aid provided to the PA by foreign donors. Democracy? Itā€™s an idea Mahmoud Abbas toyed with early in 2021, even announcing that there would be parliamentary and presidential elections later in the year, but then he promptly cancelled them when he realized that both he, and his loyalists, would lose.

Can either Gaza or the PA be said to be ā€œviableā€? Both entities rely almost entirely on handouts, from the United States, the European Union, and Gulf Arab states. They are the international welfare queens, beneficiaries of foreign aid largesse that has created in the Palestinian population a culture of permanent dependency. Neither Gaza nor the PA-run territories in the West Bank are economically ā€œviable,ā€ and even if they were to be joined in a single state, that nation of ā€œPalestineā€ would never become that ā€œviable, democraticā€ state that Marine Le Pen so blithely imagines can be achieved.

ā€œFor the sake of consistency and because I believe it is right, politically, historically and morally, I will remain faithful to the official line of the Quai dā€™Orsay [the French foreign ministry], that is to say, Franceā€™s commitment to the two-state solution,ā€ Le Pen said.

What is called ā€œthe two-state solutionā€ is really a surrender to the salami tactics of the Slow Jihadists of the PA. The first step in their program is to squeeze Israel back within the 1949 armistice lines (called ā€œthe 1967 linesā€ by Le Pen), which were once described by Abba Eban as the ā€œlines of Auschwitz.ā€ Those 1949 armistice lines ā€“ which were never a recognized border ā€“ would again leave Israel with a nine-mile-wide waist from Qalqilya to the sea. The Jewish state would also be stripped of the Jordan Valley, so necessary for control of the invasion routes from the east. And with Israel having been so shrunk in size, in order to achieve that ā€œtwo-state solutionā€ that Le Pen favors is achieved, then the Arabs can again go in for the kill, presumably with better results this time than in 1948, 1967, and 1973. The ā€œtwo-state solutionā€ is no solution at all, and will only whet, not sate, Arab appetites for more. Le Pen fails to realize that the only thing that can permanently keep the peace between Israel and the Arabs is for Israel to be so obviously stronger, militarily, and with continued control of territory in the West Bank, so necessary to its defense, that it will deter Arab aggression. Deterrence worked to keep the peace in the Cold War; it can work to keep the peace between Israel and the Arabs.

According to Le Pen, the French position represents ā€œthe only solution that can meet the national aspirations of Israelis and Palestinians.ā€

The ā€œnational aspirationā€ of the Israelis is simply to survive and thrive, in the ancient homeland, of the Jews, the very territory that was assigned by the League of Nations to be included in Mandatory Palestine, which then was to become the reconstituted commonwealth of the Jews, the Jewish state in the Land of Israel.

The ā€œnational aspirationā€ of the Palestinians is quite different: it is to destroy the Jewish state and to replace it with the Arab state of Palestine. Both the Fast Jihadists of Hamas, whose Charter explicitly calls for the destruction of Israel, and the Slow Jihadists of the PA, want to achieve the same goal. The Fast Jihadists of Hamas think Israel can be brought low by terrorism and war. The Slow Jihadists of the PA differ with Hamas on tactics and timing; they hope by degrees to so weaken Israel, by making it an international pariah, that it will agree to be squeezed back within the 1949 armistice lines. After that, when the Arabs feel powerful enough, they can launch another assault on the much-reduced Jewish state, and given the gigantic buildup in the armories of both Arab states and Muslim terror groups ā€” with Hezbollah alone having 150,000 rockets and missiles in Lebanon aimed at Israel ā€” they may be able to do greater damage than occurred in any previous assault.

France advocates the creation of a Palestinian state and considers that Jerusalem must become the capital of both states pending a negotiated settlement of the conflict and under international law,ā€ she added, stressing that Paris does not ā€œrecognize any sovereignty over Jerusalem.

Early in April, in an interview with i24NEWS, she had also said that the transfer of the French embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem was ā€œnot on the agenda.ā€ She pleaded in favor of an ā€œinternational statusā€ for the city.

Why isnā€™t the transfer of the French Embassy to Jerusalem ā€œon the agendaā€? Does Marine Le Pen not know that Jews have lived continuously in Jerusalem for more than 3000 years? That Jerusalem has always been the political and religious capital of the Jewish people? That Jerusalem is where the holiest site in Judaism, the Temple Mount, is located? That Jerusalem is where the First and Second Temple were built? Why canā€™t she, if elected, not only fight to ā€œput it [the Embassy move] on the agenda,ā€ but also make sure that the transfer of the French Embassy to Jerusalem takes place? Donald Trump transferred the American Embassy to Jerusalem, and the sky did not fall, as some had feared. Not a single Arab state cut off relations with the U.S., or ceased to sell oil to the Americans, or stopped buying American weapons and technology.

Le Pen might have said that ā€œthe transfer of the Embassy is a question that needs to be considered in all its aspectsā€ or ā€œI think we should examine the historical basis for the claims of Jews and Muslims to Jerusalem.ā€ Instead she briskly took the Palestinian side: moving the Embassy, she said, is ā€œnot on the agenda.ā€ Not good.
