Israeli prime ministers are pathologically concerned about favorable Public Relations in the international media.
Thus,
in Israel’s current war breaks with Hamas entrenched in Gaza—
abandoned
seven years ago for the sake of “peace”—Israeli prime ministers readily
yield to ceasefires.
These peace-loving prime ministers
ignore or fail to appreciate a basic principle of international
politics, namely, that no dictatorship can dwell in genuine peace with a
democracy on its borders.
All the more so, when the dictatorship is
rooted in Arab-Islamic culture, on the one hand, and when the democracy
is or appears to be Jewish, on the other.
To clarify this
issue, I will enumerate ten contradictions between democracy and
Arab-Islamic culture, and I invite opinion makers and decisions makers
to open their minds to some demonstrable and empirically
verifiable
truths about Israel’s enemies.
1. Whereas, freedom,
including freedom of speech, is one of the two cardinal principles of
democracy, Arab-Islamic culture is strictly authoritarian, which is why
its media is state-controlled.
