#1 And as Mr. Keyes points out, too many Jews have become counterplayers in this psychodrama - enablers of the Arab psychosis. Guilty by nature, convinced of their own sins against the victimized multitude of third-world innocents, the Jewish Doves make the gestures of surrender. Turning the bared throat towards the knife they invite the Palestinians to punish them and their guilty nation for their sins.
Not just jews, but the whole West, led by the sucidalists.

#2 Article: In effect, the Jihadists reverse this syndrome. Despite their psychopathology (or perhaps, because of it) they are quite ready, even eager, to lay down their lives for nation, heritage, religion and charismatic leaders. They are like the Japanese Kamikazes, the suicide pilots who almost destroyed our Pacific fleet at the end of WWII.

I don't buy this premise. There is nothing preventing Muslim terrorists from carrying out suicide bombings in the West as they are doing in Iraq. Israel's Arab Muslim population is substantial, and yet few bombings have come from that direction. If we assume that they are willing to do anything (from a moral standpoint) to further their goals, this inaction tells me that they are not, in fact, willing to *personally* sacrifice everything for nation, heritage, religion and charismatic leaders. I mean that they might say these things, but they don't mean what they say.

#3 My basic point is that they are resentful, but not personally motivated enough to go all the way. I think it's more likely that thanks to the European welfare state, Muslims will become the majority via peaceful means, by replacing themselves in the way that native Europeans will not.

#4 Not after the war is over, they won't.
