Olmert offers Golan to Syria

I have said in the past that Ehud Olmert must be removed as Prime Minister of Israel before he gives the entire country over to the vermin and sells all the Jews into the sea in the process.

Now he's just making that case irrefutable.

First, Ehud and Arik's wicked Gaza pogrom, then the tragedy at Amona, then the disastrous Hezbalon war, then the offer to give away half of Jerusalem and virtually all of Judea and Samaria, and now he just goes and throws the Golan Heights into the "good will gesture" bucket for good measure?

Somebody stop this man!

JERUSALEM – Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has offered Syria the Golan Heights if the Damascus regime cuts its ties with Iran and ends support for Palestinian terror groups, the Israeli media reported today.

The Golan Heights is strategic mountainous territory looking down on Israeli population centers twice used by Syria to launch wars against the Jewish state. Mainstream U.S. and Israeli military experts have long maintained Israel must retain the Golan to ensure against a ground invasion from Syria.

Israel's leading newspaper Yediot Aharonot today quoted top Jerusalem officials stating Olmert used German and Turkish mediators to tell Syrian President Bashar Assad Israel would relinquish the territory in exchange for a peace agreement and Damascus' severing of ties with Iran and Palestinian terror groups. The report said Olmert's offer was approved by the Bush administration.

Olmert's office has not denied the report.

What does Judaism say about all this? Here's two excerpts from Mishneh Torah that are pretty clear.

Hilchot Chovel Umazik, Chapter 8, Halachot 8-9: It is a mitzvah to kill a traitor wherever he is located This applies even in the present era when cases of capital punishment are not tried. It is permitted to kill him before he betrays someone...If, however, the traitor accomplished his objective and betrayed a Jew to the gentiles, it is forbidden to kill him unless we presume that he will betray others.

Hilchot Avodat Kochavim, Chapter 10, Halacha 1: ...It is a mitzvah, however, to eradicate Jewish traitors, minnim, and apikorsim, and to cause them to descend to the pit of destruction, since they cause difficulty to the Jews and sway people away from God...

And Rabbi Meir Kahane? Does he have an opinion of the Jewish traitor? You bet he does.

"And Judah too, shall fight against Jerusalem...”(Zecharia 14)

The briefest of hints, but a chilling one: that in the end of days, Judah, Jews, will join the gentile enemy in war against Jerusalem. And behold, we see it in our days. The self hating Jewish anti-Semite. The Jew who fights his own people, who joins with the enemy of Jerusalem in battle against Jerusalem.

...There is a red line in Judaism that cannot be crossed without becoming a traitor to and enemy of the Jewish people. There is a limit that, once reached and violated marks one as a moser and informer and a rodef, a pursuer of Jews, who is plotting to destroy them. That line and limit is the joining together , openly and eagerly and without shame with the enemy who wishes to harm and destroy Jews.

Any questions?
