Diplomacy with Evil, Only Benefits Evil

The current situation in Israel, that many are speculating could evolve into a Third World War, is the result of a misconception and thinking that evil can be reasoned with and appeased. For years now, Israel has been forced to posture and show a good face in an attempt to meet with various leaders of Arab-Islamic states and nations. All the while these states and their leaders have led, funded, and allowed training grounds to be built within their borders with the sole purpose being the complete eradication of the Jewish State and her people. In an attempt to avoid war and maintain the “peace”, it is leading to the opposite of anything resembling peace. The reason for this is the misconception of what peace actually means. Peace is not, and does not mean the lack of war or a diffusing of a war from taken place. Peace is and means that evil is no longer allowed to exist to such a state that it is an overall threatening presence.

Take the Israeli situation, Israel was forced to appease and give into various demands of her enemies all for the ideal of peace and avoiding any type of conflict that will result in X number of deaths. The most recent and audacious of these appeasements was the force removal of its citizens from the Gaza Strip and the “returning” of it to the Palestinians. The Palestinians in turn thanked Israel by voting into power the terrorist political party of Hamas. A similar situation was previously done to appease a leader and maintain peace. The leader was Hitler, the appeasement was to allow him to keep a portion of Poland in the hopes this will satisfy him and he would stop expansion. Everybody knows how well that worked with the end result being Hitler’s continue expansion of power through his conquest of Europe and the death of millions of Jews throughout Europe.

Just as Hitler wasn’t appeased with his small piece of the pie, likewise, the Islamic States with their army of terrorist will not be appeased with just the Gaza Strip. In trying to force diplomacy and appease the aggressor, the aggressor only becomes bolder in its attempts to press the issue. The reason lies simply on the fact that the aggressor views its actions have had a positive result and thus, thinks that similiar actions will result in the same end. It also views the non-aggressor as weak and easy for the taken. Thus, the terrorists received Gaza for blowing up Jewish civilians and instilling fear into the hearts and minds of the people, the Jews on the other hand received what? A staging ground that is closer so terrorists can kill them even more proficiently.

It should be obvious now that any type of negotiation with evil only benefits evil, and hurts the good. Diplomacy for the sake of avoiding conflict with an aggressor likewise leads to the opposite effect. The only way to “negotiate” with evil is to use the same language that evil understands, the language of force. Evil only exists because the good allows it to exist in the first place. If Israel was allowed to do what it is currently doing years ago, eradicate its enemies and allow evil to no longer exist, then the current situation might have been resolved. Yet, evil was allowed to continue existing for the sake of peace, so that killing and bloodshed could be avoided. Yet, how much more killing and bloodshed has occurred since then, in the name of peace?

Forget about peace, bring on war and then peace, because trying to avoid the inevitable is like tyring to ski uphill, it can't be done.
