A lot of evil has come from the capital of Qatar, so it shouldn’t surprise us when they host the largest conference of its kind, whose sole purpose was to attack Israel and her right to exist. Oh, well, they DID call it the International Conference on Jerusalem, but they might as well have called it “The Final Solution 2.0″.

Everyone who understands the Arab-Israeli conflict knows that Jerusalem is the lynchpin. Without Jerusalem, Israel cannot survive. Israel knows this. The Arabs know this. Everyone who went to this conference knows this. If you want to kill all the Jews in Israel, you have to start in Jerusalem.

A while ago an expert once said that terrorism cannot exist without money. And, that rule has withstood the test of time. It is true that it tends to cost less for Islamicists to fund terrorism. Those terrorist dollars just go farther when a fanatic will do it for the promise of all-sins-forgiven and 72 virgins.

But even then, it still costs money.

Here we have a more obscene version. Here we have terrorism on a salary.

On Wednesday, I mentioned that most Israeli Arabs are Proud to be Israeli.

How about Palestinian Arabs? What do THEY feel about Israel?

Well, I’ve got bad news, really bad news and the tiniest bit of good news.

Let’s start with the good news. Among Palestinians:

• 75% support teaching children about peace

• 30% support a permanent, two-state solution

• 57% believe that the Nakba protests “hurt or made no difference to the Palestinian cause”

• 83% are more interested in job creation than conflict with Israel

• 59% said that it was wrong to fire rockets at Israeli cities and Israeli citizens

The murder of the Fogel family was one of the most sick and depraved acts of murder that anyone has seen in a long, long time. And, the smiling, exultant faces of the murderers plumbed the depths of depravity even further.

We now have a whole society rallying around and praising this despicable depravity.

God judges a society not just by what they do, but also by what they allow – and even more by what they celebrate. The official voice of the Palestinian people has praised one of the worst examples of inhumanity that I have ever seen, and not one Palestinian voice has been heard to protest this atrocity.

There can be no other rational conclusion, until something changes.

Seriously.

It’s been slowly dawning on some of us that democratic ideals can only exist where there is an education system to promote them. If you have an educational system that promotes some OTHER ideal, well… you’ll get something other than democracy.

Hence, the current Palestinian mess.

That’s right. For generations, the Palestinians have taught their children anti-democratic values, and we’ve known this. That’s why it shouldn’t surprise us (but does) when democratic elections bring non-democratic results.
