On July 11th, Prime Minister Tony Blair on the floor of the House of Commons made the following statement on the terrorist bombings in London on July 7th: “The timing of the Tube explosions was designed to be at the peak of the rush hour and thus to cause maximum death and injury. It seems probable that the attack was carried out by Islamist extremist terrorists, of the kind who over recent years have been responsible for so many innocent deaths in Madrid, Bali, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Kenya, Tanzania, Pakistan, Yemen, Turkey, Egypt and Morocco, and of course in New York on September 11th, but in many other countries too.”
Almost instantly Sam Hammorabi, an Iraqi blogger, was complaining online that Tony Blair was “wrong” to condemn “the terrorist attacks in London, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, USA, and many other states” but not mention “the terrorist attacks which occur on a daily basis in Iraq!”
Well, of course, the country of Iraq has a recent history not only of attacks on its neighbors, but the use of weapons of mass destruction on both Iran and the Kurds, as well as financial support for Palestinian terrorists. I suggest there is a far more glaring omission in Tony Blair’s speech: he failed to mention Israel and Serbia, nations that have experienced by far the highest numbers and most deadly terrorist attacks.
For some reason for years the West has urged victims of terrorist attacks in Tel Aviv and Belgrade to placate and appease the terrorists in their midst. Governments in London, Washington and the United Nations have pressured both Jews and Serbs to surrender their lands to placate the terrorists who blow up their citizens, their police and, in Kosovo, 135 of their churches.
In a province of about 2 million people, which is approximately the population of Utah, in the years between 1991-1998, there were 1126 terrorist attacks in Kosovo which killed or wounded 616 policemen, 16 refugees in refugee shelters and 494 citizens. To address this problem, President Clinton decided to bomb the Serbs for not being nice enough to the Albanian population in Kosovo and for insisting that the illegal Albanians go home.
In Israel, in a population of about 4.5 million Jews, during the same period of time, the terrorists killed 390 people. The terror attacks increased between September 2000 and October 2003 with 884 people killed and 5932 injured in Israel bv terrorist bombers. In 2004, another 117 people were killed in Israel by Palestinian terrorists in 2004, and most of those attacks were not even mentioned by the media in the West.
However, when 50 people were killed a week ago in of Britain’s 60 million people, it was front page news in every country in the world. Although Britain helped bomb the Serbs when they tried to send illegal aliens home to Albania, there were instant demands that illegals be rounded up and exported when the public thought illegal aliens had bombed London trains. That has quieted down now that it appears the bombers were British citizens.
For years we have supported the notion that the Jews and the Serbs should negotiate with the terrorists, and give them land to stop the slaughter of citizens on the streets in Israel or Serbia. I’ve been writing about this for years. People forget that Yasser Arafat, the leader of the Palestinians until his death, was not born on the West Bank, but in Egypt. He began smuggling weapons into Jerusalem as a teenager to kill British soldiers. Many other so-called “Palestinians” are also citizens of other countries. Likewise, nearly a million Albanian Muslims, over 25% of its working age population, left Albania following the collapse of the Communist government and economy in Albania, and illegally entered Kosovo, Greece, Italy and other European nations. During the 1990s those Albanians used terrorism and crime to drive out 250,000 Serbs.
After his election in 1989 Slobodan Milosevic, tried to reverse the incoming hordes of Albanians. Nearly one third of the Albanians fleeing their country’s economic collapse simply walked across the border into Kosovo province of the disintegrating Yugoslavia and stayed there. They are now demanding independent status and the property of Serbs, Jews, and others as their “right” to possess.
In late 1997, the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), funded largely with illegal drug money from the Albanian mafia, began a series of attacks on Serbian police forces, government officials, and Serbian refugees in Kosovo. The Milosevic Government responded by sending the Yugoslav army into Kosovo to stop the attacks. Note that some Americans today are demanding that the US Army be sent to the Mexican border to stop illegal immigration into the USA.
In an article on October 2, 1998, in the middle of the Monica Lewinsky scandals and impeachment of President Bill Clinton, I wrote: “There is a lot of similarity in the Kosovo situation to what could happen to California at some point in time, if some get their way (in Kosovo.)”
Tito favored the Albanians for two reasons: They were communists like himself, and as communists they were hostile to the devoutly Christian Serbs. The 79 day bombing of the Serbs in Belgrade and Kosovo which began in March 1999 by Clinton without congressional approval accomplished the following:
1. It has driven most of the remaining Serbs and all of the Jews out of Kosovo
2. It enabled the Albanians to completely destroy 134 Serbian Christian churches
3. It keeps over a million Albanians from migrating to Greece, Italy and other European countries.
If illegal aliens over a period of time are able to seize control of Kosovo, with the support of the USA, demand a seat in the United Nations and operate a terrorist state that is largely financed by illegal drugs and prostitution, a precedent will be set that could allow the same thing to be done in Southern California or Texas sometime in the future.
