Glenn – No Beauty In The Beast – Israel Without Her Mascara

4NO BEAUTY IN THE BEASTWords of GratitudeWhen a person opens his or her eyes and comes to grasp evil in its true essence, it can be a paralyzing anddebilitating circumstance. In this situation it is very easy to lose all hope in mankind, and at sometimeafter that point, to succumb to the debilitating effects of depression and despair. What is used in pullingoneself out of this pit is the goodness of those few people who still possess this rare and much despisedgem known as humanity, and it is these individuals who deserve to be acknowledged now.To my beautiful wife Victoria, who is, whether she realizes this or not, co-author of this work. The nightsshe spent listening to me rant and rave, acting as a sounding board for what has become the centralargument within this work, none of this would be possible were she to have considered her own selfishinterests rather than the interests of others who are suffering under these present injustices.To my children, whose tears and barely contained anger over what they saw happening to the peoples ofthe Middle East reminded me everyday that what I was doing was the right thing. Whether they realizeit or not, they are in effect co-authors of this work as well, for many of their insights and observances havemade their way into the words of this book. May God bless them with the destruction of this beast beforeit enters their lives and devours them as well.To my friends around the world who I know only through the sterile confines of the internet, who haveencouraged me and provided me with more inspiration to keep plowing forward than they could know.Truly without you, this work would not have been possible had I not came to know you, for it is in seeingthat there are others out there who feel the same way as I do that has compelled me to add my own voiceto this most important symphony.To actor Mel Gibson, one of the few Christians for whom I still maintain some respect as a result of thefilm he made depicting in a dignified manner the humble carpenter from Palestine turned freedom fighter.I know that you spent many nights worrying about what could happen to you and your family as a resultof making this film, and that you will spend many similar such nights in the future as well. May this filmbe “the shot heard ‘round the world” and that in some way, it will remind Christians of who they are,and wherein lies their duty with regards to the present situation today.And just so that there is no ambiguity....To Hassan, for his wise words and brotherly concern; To Kim for her worrying and her willingness togive from her heart in our times of need; To Maisoon for her fearless voice and tireless temperament;Barbra for her insight and her outrage; To Dr. El Najjar, who has caught a lot of heat for publishing myworks; To all those who gave me permission to use photos and excerpts, without which this work wouldhave seriously suffered.To Mom, Byron, Bill, Edwin, Arthur, Johanna, Sara Rae, Al, Michael, the folks at JTR, Nick, Paul, Jules,Nancy, Susan, Meike, Ed, et al.To those writers and speakers who have kept the barely visible flame alive over the last century concerningthe danger posed by the Jewish supremacist agenda. Were it not for you, the flame would have diedunder the deafening wall of obstructive noise that this agenda uses in silencing its critics and thus therewould have remained no light by which mankind could see. In particular, I wish to thank Michael Collins
