Leftists sure are obsessed with rape! We have been discussing the award winning “no rape = racism” essay by an MA student at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. The essay claims that the absence of rape of Palestinian women under Israeli occupation implies racism (the soldiers don’t find the women rape-worthy). In the latest rape story from Israel, a member of the Israeli Media elite sprung his sexual fantasies on Condoleezza Rice.

On September 10, 2007, at a dinner party, David Landau revealed to Rice that in his private wet dreams she rapes him and he enjoys it. Alright, we exaggerated. What he actually said was that the Israeli government wants “to be raped” and that it would be like a “wet dream” for him to watch it happen.

Knowing the Leftist mind as we do, we have no doubt that Landau expected Condi to find his vulgarities irresistible. He probably went home, got into his sexiest pajamas, and patiently waited for the gentle knock on the door, announcing the arrival of the turned on Secretary of State.

Landau is the editor of Haaretz, Israel’s newspaper of record. If you are not familiar with the Israeli Media scene, just think of Haaretz as a Palestinian newspaper published in Hebrew or as Israel’s New York Times. In the rape of Israel, Caroline Glick asserts that the rape wish is real. Indeed, Olmert has already started a kind of self-rape procedure.

Then too, a week before George W. Bush’s first presidential visit to Israel, Olmert gave an interview to The Jerusalem Post where he went out of his way to prove that Landau is right. His government does wish to be “raped” by the US.

Sounding more like a Palestinian spokesman than the leader of Israel, Olmert attacked his own country, claiming that it isn’t abiding by its obligations to the terror-supporting Palestinians. In his words, “There is a certain contradiction… between what we’re actually seeing and what we ourselves promised. We always complain about the [breached] promises of the other side. Obligations are not only to be demanded of others, but they must also be honored by ourselves.”

Olmert argued that Israel must withdraw to the 1949 armistice lines with minor modifications, not because doing so will ensure peace with the Palestinians, but because if we don’t we’ll lose our Jewish majority.

The prime minister’s contention is questionable for two basic reasons. First, the 1949 lines are not demographic borders but cease-fire lines. On the eastern side of the line live a half million Jews, and on the western side live one million Arabs. Second, the cease-fire lines are indefensible. So while not solving any demographic problem, withdrawing to the 1949 lines would imperil Israel militarily.

Beyond that, there is the fact that Olmert’s dark demographic projections are based on falsified census data published by the Palestinian Authority in 1997. As the American-Israeli Demographic Research Group proved conclusively in January 2005, the PA’s numbers were inflated by some 50 percent. Although demography is a problem, Israel is in no immediate danger of losing its Jewish majority.

The immediate danger Israel faces stems not from demography but from the ideology of jihad that has convinced the Arab and Islamic world to seek Israel’s destruction rather than to accept it. Shrinking into indefensible borders will only exacerbate that problem by telling the jihadists that Israel can be destroyed through violence and terror.

Olmert also argued that Israel must give up its sovereignty over Jerusalem because Israel’s supporters want it to. In his words, “The world that is friendly to Israel… that really supports Israel, when it speaks of the future, it speaks of Israel in terms of the ’67 borders. It speaks of the division of Jerusalem.”

So in an English-language interview a week before Bush’s arrival in the country, Olmert essentially asked Israel’s friend in the White House to pressure Israel to concede its vital national rights and interests.

In the same interview with the Post, Olmert acknowledged that his putative peace partner – Fatah leader and PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas – does not recognize Israel’s right to exist and demands the so-called “right of return” for millions of foreign descendants of Arabs who left Israel in 1948. But, he soothed, this is not a cause for worry.

Olmert’s not worried, because he can see into Abbas’s soul. As he put it, “If you ask [Abbas] to say that he sees Israel as a Jewish state, he will not say that. But if you ask me whether in his soul he accepts Israel, as Israel defines itself, I think he does.”

For Olmert, intent as he is on securing the support of the pro-national rape crew, his faith in Abbas’s peaceful soul is more important than the visible reality on the ground. And that reality is not merely reflected in the fact that Fatah and Hamas are rhetorically indistinguishable from one another. That reality is also reflected in the fact that the three Israelis murdered in the last six weeks – Ido Zoldan, David Rubin and Ahikam Amihai – were all killed by official, Abbas-commanded PA security forces.

The three terrorist murders show clearly that the PA itself, rather than Hamas, is the most lethal terrorist group in Palestinian society. And the same PA security organs involved in killing Israelis are funded and armed by Israel and the US – which together with the Europeans and the Russians also train them.
