Mohammed, the 7th century founder of Islam, once signed a 10-year peace treaty with the enemy Arabian tribe of Koreish. However, after only two years into the treaty, Mohammed's military position improved whereupon he tore up this "Hudibiyya" (also spelled Khudaibiya)  Agreement" and slaughtered the Koreishites.  The Middle East today is littered with inter-Arab peace treaties, alliances and friendship accords, not one of which has ever prevented a war!  This Law of Hudibiyya dates back to Muhammad and states clearly that "Muslims are permitted to LIE [click link] and break agreements with non-Muslims." According to this precept, Arabs view an enemy’s readiness for peace as a weakness to be exploited.  Violation of any signed accord they sign with infidels (or even fellow Muslims!) is "business as usual" as soon as it becomes advantageous to do so.  

   If Arafat, a member of the PA (Palestinian Authority), or any Arab on the street  were to compare the Oslo Peace Accords between Israel and the Palestinian people to the Hudibiyya Agreement, he would be suggesting that the treaty were only a temporary truce.   Not only have cabinet ministers done just that... so has the leader of the Palestinian people!  Speaking to a rally of his Fatah movement in Ramallah just last November 16, 1998, Yasser Arafat said, "When we chose the peace of the brave [the Oslo and Wye Accords], we chose it with trust in the Prophet who agreed to the Treaty of Hudibiyya..."  On numerous previous occasions (and certainly to be continued in the future), both Arafat and other senior PA officials have assured Arab audiences that their treaties with Israel are only "temporary truces" rather than genuine, permanent peace agreements.

   And so while Israeli negotiators go to great pains to dot every "i" and cross every "t" and footnote every minute detail [eg. the Camp David Israeli-Egyptian Peace Treaty and the Israeli-Palestinian Oslo Agreement] with the expectation that the document was as meaningful to their Arab negotiators as it was to them, the Arabs knew all along that their non-compliance would be tolerated! After all, it was their tradition to say anything AND sign anything, knowing full well that, by custom, culture and habit, that they could and usually DID walk away from treaties when it suited their purposes.

   This "strategy of phases" was first adopted by the PLO's National Council (Cairo, Egypt) in 1974 when it became obvious that an outright military defeat of Israel was unlikely.  A policy of destruction of Israel in phases was approved by first establishing a small PLO state and then later completing the total destruction of Israel. This goal may be soon realized as Israel prepares to withdraw from portions of its ancient homeland in the name of "peace."

The Jewish people have experienced 2,000 years of expulsions, massacres, pogroms and deceptions.  Their tiny reborn Jewish State has, in its 55+ years of existence,  experienced seven wars with the Arabs and continuous terrorism by numerous Palestinian groups, including its peace partner... the PLO!  And now Israel is officially begun arranging the terms of its own suicide in the Oslo Accords, Wye Agreement, various Camp David "weekend" retreats and now the so-called Geneva Initiative... with more holes in it than Swiss cheese!

   H-E-L-L-o-o-o-o-o... Wake up, Jews! Wake up Israel!  Have you still not learned your lessons or will you continue to sit back in the name of "peace," light more candles and await new Holocaust memorials!

Israel is pursuing is her own tail. Israel is getting no place and only prolonging her own agony.  Israel has set the stage, not for peace, but for an all out war the likes of which she has never dreamed of in her own worst nightmares!  It is not peace that Israel's enemies seek.  They cannot even make peace among themselves.  Where did Israel EVER get the idea that the Arabs would be willing to make peace with the Jews!

 Is This What Peace is All About?

The Israelis and Arab "Palestinians" signed the Oslo Peace Accords in September of 1993.  All statements by the Palestinian leadership with regards to the destruction of the State of Israel prior to that time were to be disregarded now that they had signed on to what Arafat himself described as the "peace of the brave."  So what is one to make of the following statements issued well after 1993!

Jordanian Television (September 13, 1995)
"Since we cannot defeat Israel in war we do this in stages. We take any and
every territory that we can of Palestine, and establish sovereignty there,
and we use it as a springboard to take more. When the time comes, we can
get the Arab nations to join us for the final blow against Israel." Yasser Arafat

Stockholm, Sweden (Jan 30, 1996)
"We Palestinians will take over everything, including all of Jerusalem. Peres and Beilin have already promised us half of Jerusalem. The Golan Heights have already been given away, subject to just a few details. We will take over everything including all of Jerusalem! We of the P.L.O. will now concentrate all our efforts on splitting Israel psychologically into two camps. Yasser Arafat

Egyptian Magazine (May 2001)
Our agreements with the Israelis are like the Trojan horse. I explain to our people that this is the only way to get into the walls of Jerusalem, like the wooden horse the Greeks used against the Trojans." Faisal Husseini, Arafat's representative in Jerusalem 

Palestinian Television Jan. 11, 2001)
"We are discussing the current problems and when we speak about Jerusalem it doesn't mean that we have forgotten about Hebron or about Jaffa or about Acre..we are speaking about the current problems that have priority at a certain time. It doesn't mean that we have given up... We have announced a number of times that from a religious point of view Palestine from the sea to the river is Islamic." [Note: Jaffa and Acre are Israeli cities.] Sheikh Ikrima Sabri - The Palestinian Authority appointed Mufti of Jerusalem and Palestine

Palestinian Television Sept. 1, 2000)
"We exaggerate when we say 'peace'... what we are speaking about is 'Hudna', a temporary ceasefire. Arab "Palestinian" Knesset Member Abdel Maleh
