Eyeless in Gaza

This is the title of a must-read piece by Barbara Lerner, published today at National Review Online.

Barbara Lerner gets what so many in the West do not - whatever we say, however much we deceive ourselves into thinking otherwise, our enemies will be seeing the retreat from Gaza as exactly what it is - a surrender to Hitler's grandchildren from Hamas and Fatah.

... like their Islamofascist brothers everywhere, they believe that it is Hamas that is forcing the Israelis to retreat in Gaza, and America with her. They see it as another terrorist victory, a harbinger of more to come. Meanwhile, they are enjoying the sight of the great American Samson, stumbling about, "eyeless in Gaza." They think our acquiescence in the once-mighty Sharon's appeasement plan puts us "at the mill with slaves," and they are jubilant.

Let us hope against hope that we realize this before it is too late.

ODERINT DUM METUANT!
