In a video posted on a Hamas website just days before the January 25, 2006 Palestinian Authority Parliamentary elections, Hamas announced - in English - that it considers itself as being part of the effort to "liberate Palestine" from the "filth" of Israel. Important to note is that Hamas said that its efforts have been active since the British Mandate...

A video placed on a Hamas website after its victory in the January 25, 2006 Palestinian Authority parliamentary elections makes clear that Hamas still considers itself as a violent group aiming at nothing less than Israel's destruction.

The video promises that the "homeland is returning through blood" at the same time an image of the Israeli coastal city of Haifa is displayed.

Half a month after its electoral victory, a Hamas website presented the parting video messages of two Hamas suicide terrorists. One message was for Jews, whose blood Hamas promises to drink until Jews "leave the Muslim countries," and the second to a mother, as she helps dress her son for battle prior to his suicide terror mission.

The newly appointed head of security for the Hamas-led government says that Jews are the "only enemy" and that he will "carry a rifle" and "pull the trigger" to defend the Palestinian people.

The new government to be formed in Israel has one urgent task: to abort the government of Hamas. Not to rout it or overthrow it, but to act with determination to cause its paralysis; to make it obvious to every Palestinian, within a few months' time, that Ismail Haniyah and his ministers are unable to function, that their administration is ineffectual and impotent.

Happy Easter. Happy Passover. But, if you're like the president of Iran and believe in the coming of the "12th imam," your happy holiday may be just around the corner, too.

Today, even more than is usually the case, Israel is the Free World's "canary in the mine shaft." Its voters are poised to vote for a policy approach their American counterparts are being tempted to embrace in the months ahead. Call it the "disengagement delusion."

Since I argued in a column last week that Israel can and must defeat the Palestinian Arabs, a barrage of responses have contested this thesis. Some were trivial (Ha'aretz published an article challenging my right to opine on such matters because I do not live in Israel) but most raised serious issues that deserve an answer.

As Israelis go to the polls, not one of the leading parties offers the option of winning the war against the Palestinian Arabs. It's a striking and dangerous lacuna.

(First of two columns)

A Gallup poll released last month puts American support for Israel at near-record levels. When asked for their views on the Middle East, 59 percent of Americans say they sympathize with the Israelis, while just 15 percent favor the Palestinians. Pro-Israel sentiment rises with increased knowledge -- 66 percent of those who follow international affairs "very closely" support Israel, compared with 52 percent of those who don't pay close attention.

With a population of approximately 6.9 million (including about 5 million Jews within Israel),Israel is a multiparty parliamentary democracy. "Basic laws" enumerate fundamental rights. The 120-member, unicameral Knesset, has the power to dissolve the government and mandate elections. Both the 16th (most recent) Knesset and Prime Minister Ariel Sharon were elected democratically in 2003.

As the international donor community struggles to determine its stance on aid to the Palestinians under the Hamas government, it is important to remember the extent to which the Palestinian economy is dependent upon Israeli decisions. Last year the international community gave the Palestinians $1.4 billion in aid; Israel has the potential to affect at least that sum through its policies on trade, Palestinian workers in Israel, and the tax revenue it collects.

Israel is a beacon of Western values, Capitalism, and success - smack in the middle of the Middle East. Surrounded by 'neighbours' for whom freedom is a foreign tongue, by poverty ridden dictatorships who view Israel's prosperity with a mixture of paranoid suspicion, hate, and envy.

Insofar as the only legitimate, lawful, and moral role of government is the recognition and defense of the inalienable Rights of its citizens - that among these are the Right to life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness ...

Once again, the president of Iran repeated his foul lie.

On Wednesday, in a speech broadcast live on Iranian state television, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told a crowd of thousands that the Nazi destruction of European Jewry never happened. "They have created a myth with the name of 'Holocaust' and consider it to be above God, religion, and the prophets," he said. It was the second time in a week that Ahmadinejad had dismissed the most infamous genocide of the 20th century as a fairy tale. "Some European countries insist on saying that Hitler killed millions of innocent Jews in furnaces," he snorted in Mecca on Dec. 8, when he addressed an international summit of nearly 50 Muslim heads of state. "We don't accept this claim."
