It is certain pathologies of reasoning that are making Jewish self-defense difficult-to-impossible. Unless these pathologies are corrected quickly, the Jewish people will once again cooperate in their own destruction. This will be a tragedy -- yet another -- for Judaism, of course, but also for the rest of the world, which will be infinitely worse off without the Jewish people.

While we cannot emphasize strongly enough our solidarity with the victims of today’s terror attack in Tel-Aviv, we similarly cannot emphasize enough the restraint we believe the Israeli government will have to show in responding to this event.”
This is the type of restraint that caused the death of over 6 million Jews in German death camps in WW2.
NEVER AGAIN! means NEVER AGAIN, will the Jewish people stand idle while Anti-Semitism and terror attacks against the Jewish people in Israel and in the World at large.
Israel which carries the torch of the Jewish people must respond to any attacks whatsoever with utmost extreme prejudice. There is no such thing as limited response when someone comes to exterminate you family and you, you fight with everything you got.

Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria is Jewish territory - No annexation is required
ReplyDeleteIf anything it may need to be re-incorporated or re-patriated.
Let me pose an interesting scenario. If you had a country and it was conquered by foreign powers over a period of time. After many years you have taken back you country and land in various defensive wars. Do you have to officially annex those territories. It was always your territory and by retaking control and possession of your territory it is again your original property and there is no need to annex it. The title to your property is valid today as it was many years before.
Annexation only applies when you are taking over territory that was never yours to begin with, just like some European countries annexed territories of other countries.

One of the most disturbing end times propaganda being promoted today is the absurd notion that the Jews never had a presence on the famous Temple Mount area in Jerusalem. Anyone who is knowledgeable about history and aware of the recent archaeological discoveries on the Temple Mount area over the years knows that the propaganda being perpetuated by the Islamic's, United Nations, and other ungodly organizations is simply a political ploy to deny the Jews their historical capital of Jerusalem and the sacred Temple Mount area. The Temple Mount area is the holiest place in Judaism and the remnants of the Second Temple area visible in the form of the "Wailing Wall" where religious Jews flock from around the world in order to pray near the site of the First and Second Temples. Some of the outstanding quotes from the official Temple Mount Guide are as follows:
“The site is one of the oldest in the world. Its sanctity dates from the earliest times. Its identity with the site of Solomon’s Temple is beyond dispute. This, too, is the spot, according to universal belief, on which David built there an altar unto the Lord, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings” (2 Samuel 24:25).

The San Remo Conference and the Palestine Mandate are not outdated and superseded documents but are as alive in 2015 as they were in 1920 by virtue of article 80 of the UN Charter which preserves the legal right vested in the Jewish people by the League of Nations to reconstitute the Jewish National Home in former Palestine.
ReplyDeleteThis imprimatur remains binding on all member nations of the UN. That they seek to ignore their legal obligation to support this noble objective is a blot on their collective consciences.
Israel must build 50,000 housing Units per year for the next 10 years in Judea and Samaria including roads and highways. This area - Judea and Samaria is no different than Tel-Aviv or any other Israeli city. Any delay or capitulation to world pressure will only make things worse. Wake-up. Appeasement and concessions are costing Jewish lives.

The war stopped where it stopped under a Ceasefire in 1949, and Israel kept what it had taken, over and above the 1947 Partition Recommendation. The real question is why Israel did not annex Judea, Samaria and Gaza in 1967! Here is what Howard Grief (the main man in International Law, has to say, and it's not flattering to Israel.)
ReplyDelete"However, it was then (GP:1967) that a monumental violation of Israeli law occurred, one that still reverberates today. Instead of incorporating these historical regions of the Jewish National Home into the State of Israel as the Israeli Government had every right and legal obligation to do, the Government applied the laws of war on the erroneous advice of the then Military Advocate- General, Meir Shamgar, later the President of the Supreme Court of Israel, in particular, Articles 42 and 43 of the Hague Regulations. This grave self perpetrated
illegality gave the entire world — including many in Israel itself — the
mistaken impression that Judea and Samaria and Gaza were indeed "occupied territories" belonging to a foreign sovereign, contrary to their true legal status as part of the Jewish National Home, that had temporarily been under illegal Jordanian and Egyptian occupation respectively. Accordingly, Israel is itself responsible for the legal confusion it created by not annexing Judea and Samaria at the appropriate time, in June 1967. Had the Israeli Government acted in accordance with its own constitutional law, there would have been no question that all the liberated Jewish lands were subject to Israel's domestic jurisdiction and outside the authority of the UN or the concern of any foreign country." (Grief, Ashkelon lecture, 2010)

What we call the State of Israel, along with her “legal” borders, was established in April 1920 with the San Remo Resolution of 1920 confirmed by the Treaty of Sevres and Lausanne, which terms are in affect in perpetuity. Only Israel can amend the terms if they sign a treaty with its Arab neighbors. Palestine was created for the first time in history as a country. It was created as the reconstitution of the Jewish National Home. The Partition Plan in 1947 was the result of a 1/4 century of illegal British policy (The English were a trustee for the Jewish people, but they violated that trust. the British wanted to control the Oil in the Middle East, for that they betrayed the Jewish people) that ripped internationally protected Jewish rights from the Jewish People, as the British allowed hundreds of thousands of Arabs to pour across the border from Syria and Egypt into Palestine.
ReplyDeleteThe Jewish State’s reconstitution was a fact 25 years before the UN existed. The Mandate was there to protect its survival, and it was terminated, not because the terms were completed, but because the British fled with their tails between their legs, and there was no
one there to administer the Mandate. But the terms of the San Remo Treaty have not been abrogated, it is applicable today and the future, only Israel has the right to modify the terms via a treaty with the Arabs,
Does anyone think that after the Ottoman Empire surrendered and relinquished its rights title and ownership to Palestine and other territories to the Allied powers after WWI and the Allied powers set up and established 21 Arab States and one Jewish State. The 21 Arab State do not want to relinquish or redraw its boundaries and Israel does not want to concede any of its original boundaries set up in 1920 which included the Palestine Mandate. Non of the Palestinian Mandate was allocated to the Arabs in the 1920 San Remo Treaty.
The U.N. and the other countries must take into account and address the expulsion of over a million Jewish people from the Arab countries and the confiscation of personal assets, homes, businesses land owned by Jewish people in the Arab countries, totaling 120,440 sq. km. or 75,000 sq. miles (5-6 times the size of Israel) valued in the trillions of dollars.
The Jewish people resettled the million Jewish refugees from the Arab countries. It is about time the Arab countries who expelled the million Jewish people and confiscated their land and assets, must stop the delusion that Israel will go away. The Arab states should be obliged to settle the Arab-Palestinian refugees in their countries and or Jordan once and for all without compromising Israel and bring about peace and tranquility to the region.
Neither the U.N. nor any Country in the world has the authority to create a state or dissolve a state, (check the U.N. charter and international law.)

The Jews’ war of survival was not won when Hitler lost. It continues to this day, against enemies with more effective tools of mass murder at their disposal. And we’re easy to find now.
The Media is guilty of escalating hostilities and violence in Israel and elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteThe Media has a responsibility to deliver fair and unbiased reporting. They influence the information that people rely on. It is an awesome responsibility and it must be handled with factual un-slanted reporting. Peoples lives depend on it; maybe yours or someone you love.
I would like your comments and input.
The affects on the world at large: Has humanity lost its values and fairness? The answer is no. In order to lose something, one must first possess it and the truth is, the world has never had total control of values and fairness. In today’s world, where money and power is pursued at all costs (see Machiavelli) , the core family unit is disintegrating and family values deteriorating. Honesty, integrity and fair-play seem to be a thing of the past. Where are we as human beings of the 21st century heading? Obviously downward.
Take some time to reflect on the truth of what is stated here. Do you really want this kind of world for your children? Senseless hate and destruction must not be tolerated. I urge you to wake up, take the bull by the horn and pursue a path of correction, or we are doomed as a civilized people.

One must convey Jewish feelings and passions about Jerusalem with un-minced words.
When it comes to JERUSALEM’S sovereignty there is a line drawn in the sand. For the Jews, Jerusalem is their heart, aspirations, their holy city, devotion, ideals, symbol of being a nation with history, a nation with prophets, justice, fairness, rich Jewish history and the Jewish soul. When a Jew conveys his feeling about Jerusalem, he must not worry about offending
anybody, or hurt feelings.
We cannot make an omelet without cracking eggs, and a Jew cannot and must not be apologetic about Jewish’ feelings concerning Jerusalem. it is clear to me even if I were not a Jew, just from a pragmatic consideration of running a city, that any division of Jerusalem will lead eventually to immense unbearable friction and sooner-or-later to another war.
We must present and make the analogy, that dividing Jerusalem is like dividing the baby in King Solomon’s verdict. Jews do not divide babies, only those who do not feel and care for the baby are prepared to take half. This is what every Jew must say.
I hope that we all have the opportunity to say these tough words for Jerusalem and the Jewish people.

The Jewish people celebrate most of their holidays and fast days in memory of Jerusalem and Israel.
and the goal and aspiration to return to Israel and rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem – where it was before it was destroyed and desecrated by the enemies of the Jews. Many of the Jewish prayers for thousands of years recite the love of Israel and the Jewish aspirations to return to their ancestral land and bring back its glory and holiness.
At Jewish weddings they break a glass in memory of Jerusalem and the aspiration to return and build the Temple.

Israel without outside help liberated Judea and Samaria after it was attacked by Jordan and removed Jordanian occupation, just like the allies liberated Kuwait. It also had a war with Egypt and Syria at the same time – June 5-10, 1967.

Israel does not have to defend its’ legitimacy!
ReplyDeleteIsrael’s rights to the land is ingrained in history, archeological findings, international law and possession. Just like the Arab States have not been required to defend their legitimacy, Israel should also not be required to defend its’ legitimacy. The 21 Arab States and the State of Israel were set up by the Allied Powers after WWI, when the Ottoman Empire relinquished its title to the territories to the Allied Powers. The British were assigned as trustee for the Jewish people to help reconstitute the Jewish State as Implemented by the San Remo Treaty of 1920. The San Remo Treaty adopted the Balfour Declaration of 1917. Of importance is the fact treaty terms and documents prove there was no state allocation of land to any other people or nation other than the Jewish people in Israel. It should also be noted the League of Nations set up the Mandate for Palestine as a State for the Jewish people with exclusive political rights.
The Jewish people who lived in Israel for over 4,000 had additional Jewish immigration in the mid 1800. The local Jewish people with the infusion of more Jewish immigration, resources, funding and with the explicit permission by the Ottoman government, started developing the land. Within a short time the Jewish people started turning the desert and desolation into green pastures, thus, building an economy, agriculture, housing and industry. Many Arabs from neighboring depressed states who viewed this development as an opportunity for work and an improved standard of living, came to work in Palestine.
Over the past 68 years Israel has become a thriving nation with exemplary innovation in education, technology, high tech industry and medicine. Many nations admire Israel’s outstanding development and innovation. Israel has always been extending a helping hand to any nation that wants to learn and advance in industry, technology and medicine.
The Arab-Palestinians saw an opportunity to get land and a country that was developed and flourished by the Jewish people. They decided that through intimidation, harassment and violence to usurp the Jewish habitants into capitulating to their scheme of an Arab-Palestinian State on Land allocated to the Jewish people . The Arab-Palestinians live on charity from the nations of the world. They are unwilling to help themselves. After the 1967 war when Israel defeated the 5 Arab armies who tried to destroy it, Israel started employing many of the Arabs in the liberated Jewish territory, educating them in agriculture and water resources. In the following years the standard of living of the Arabs jumped 5 fold and more, and their economy and housing blossomed. When the terrorist organization entered the picture and instigated the Arab population to start terror and violence against the Israelis, the economic advancement was slowed down if not halted. The dire predicament of the Arab-Palestinians is of their own making.
If you look at Arab land it is desolate and barren, with few exceptions. At the same time, the Jewish land is blooming and developing at an accelerated tempo. The Arabs, rather than follow the example set by Israel, tried to take the Jewish land by force and lost 4 wars in a span of 25 years.
The Arab-Palestinians current actions in the political and legal arena is a result of losing 4 wars and various battles with Israel. They not only could not win ground, but in fact have caused themselves a downward spiral toward economic desolation.
The Arab-Palestinians have switched tactics and have now gained more ground and concessions by playing the peace game. The Arab-Palestinians obfuscation and disinformation campaign along with various pleadings in front of the U.N. and other International bodies has gained them more inroads. The power of oil and the Arab Countries, who do not want the Arab-Palestinians to return to their countries, are helping them promote the false information, and utilizing their numerical control in the U.N. to pass any resolution that they deem necessary to advance their cause.
Money, power and greed promoted hate and anti-Semitism by the Arabs in order to force Israel into surrendering territory to the Arab-Palestinians. The Arabs are trying to initiate land piracy camouflaged as legal rights to the land of Israel.
ReplyDeleteJewish resistance to persecution by the Arabs and the world at large: Any level headed individual would think that after WWII and the 6 million Jews exterminated in the Holocaust (plus another 5 million of other ethnic groups) would diminish, if not eliminate anti-Semitism and baseless hatred. It seems that no matter the amount of unwarranted persecution, and no matter the sacrifices the Jewish people have endured through the ages, Anti-Semitism continues to raise its ugly head.
BRIEF FACTS ON THE ISRAELI CONFLICT TODAY...(It takes just 1.5 minutes to read!)
ReplyDeleteIt makes sense and it's not slanted. Jew and non-Jew -- it doesn't matter.
1. Nationhood and Jerusalem.
Israel became a nation in 1312 BCE, Two thousand years before the rise of Islam.
2. Arab refugees in Israel began identifying themselves as part of a Palestinian
people in 1967, two decades after the establishment of the modern State of
Israel.
3. Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 BCE, the Jews have had dominion over the
land for one thousand years with a continuous presence in the land for the past 3,300 years.
4. The only Arab dominion since the conquest in 635 CE lasted no more than 22 years.
5. For over 3,300 years, Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital. Jerusalem has
never been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Even when the Jordanians
occupied Jerusalem, they never sought to make it their capital, and Arab leaders
did not come to visit.
6. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in Tanach, the Jewish Holy scriptures.
Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Koran.
7. King David founded the city of Jerusalem. Mohammed never came to Jerusalem.
8. Jews pray facing Jerusalem. Muslims pray with their backs toward Jerusalem.
9. Arab and Jewish Refugees: in 1948 the Arab refugees were encouraged to leave
Israel by Arab leaders promising to purge the land of Jews Sixty-eight percent
left without ever seeing an Israeli soldier.
10 The Jewish refugees were forced to flee from Arab lands due to Arab
brutality, persecution and pogroms.
11. The number of Arab refugees who left Israel in 1948 is estimated to be
around 630,000. The number of Jewish refugees from Arab lands is estimated to be
the same.
12. Arab refugees were INTENTIONALLY not absorbed or integrated into the Arab
lands to which they fled, despite the vast Arab territory. Out of the 100,000,000 refugees since World War II, theirs is the only refugee group in the world that has never been absorbed or integrated into their own people's lands.
Jewish refugees were completely absorbed into Israel, a country no larger than the state of New Jersey ...
13. The Arab-Israeli Conflict: the Arabs are represented by eight separate
nations, not including the Palestinians. There is only one Jewish nation. The
Arab nations initiated all five wars and lost. Israel defended itself each time and won.
14. The PLO's Charter still calls for the destruction of the State of Israel.
Israel has given the Palestinians most of the West Bank land, autonomy under the
Palestinian Authority, and has supplied them.
15. Under Jordanian rule, Jewish holy sites were desecrated and the Jews were
denied access to places of worship. Under Israeli rule, all Muslim and Christian
sites have been preserved and made accessible to people of all faiths.
16. The UN Record on Israel and the Arabs: of the 175 Security Council
resolutions passed before 1990, 97 were directed against Israel.
17. Of the 690 General Assembly resolutions voted on before 1990, 429 were directed against Israel.
18. The UN was silent while 58 Jerusalem Synagogues were destroyed by the Jordanians.
19. The UN was silent while the Jordanians systematically desecrated the ancient
Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives.
20. The UN was silent while the Jordanians enforced an apartheid-like a policy
of preventing Jews from visiting the Temple Mount and the Western Wall.
These are incredible times. We have to ask what our role should be. What will
we tell our grandchildren about what we did when there was a turning point in
Jewish destiny, an opportunity to make a difference?
Who remembers today what Hitler promised in Europe 60 years ago? 25,000,000 people paid with their lives the price of naive belief in his promises.
ReplyDeleteWhere is South Vietnam today? Both the South Vietnamese and the Americans genuinely believed that they have attained peace in Vietnam. Unfortunately the country ceased to exist following their naive belief in a signed piece of paper.
As we examine the statements made by PLO officials since 1974, can anyone detect a change in tone or intentions following the signing of the Oslo Agreement?
Arafat himself declared that as a faithful student of the teachings of Mohammed, the founder of the Muslim religion, he intends to follow Mohammed's philosophy that a signed agreement is nothing but another tool in the struggle to delude the naive enemy.
So who will be the next one to pay the price of naive belief?
Nothing has changed in the past 20 years. It only got worse. The Arab terror is in most of the world.
Israeli response to Media bias
ReplyDeleteEven those who aren't particularly sympathetic to Israel's Benjamin
Netanyahu, could get a good measure of satisfaction from this interview with
British Television during the retaliation against Hamas' shelling of Israel.
The interviewer asked him: "How come so many more Palestinians have been killed
in this conflict than Israelis?" (A nasty question if there ever was one!)
Netanyahu: "Are you sure that you want to start asking in that direction?"
Interviewer: (Falling into the trap) Why not?
Netanyahu: "Because in World War II more Germans were killed than British and
Americans combined, but there is no doubt in anyone's mind that the war was
caused by Germany's aggression.
And in response to the German blitz on London, the British wiped out the entire
city of Dresden, burning to death more German civilians than the number of
people killed in Hiroshima.
Moreover, I could remind you that in 1944, when the R.A.F. tried to bomb the
Gestapo Headquarters in Copenhagen, some of the bombs missed their target and
fell on a Danish children's hospital, killing 83 little children. Perhaps you
have another question?"
Apparently, Benjamin Netanyahu gave an interview and was asked about Israel's
occupation of Arab lands.
His response was, "It's our land". The reporter (CNN or the like) was stunned -
read below "It's our land..." It's important information since we don't get
fair and accurate reporting from the media and facts tend to get lost in the
jumble of daily events.
Unknown to most of the world population, the origin of the "Palestinian" Arabs' claim to
ReplyDeletethe Israel-Palestine Land spans a period of a meager 30-50 years
At the beginning of the 20th century, there were practically no Arabs in the Holy Land. Historically, a "Palestinian" people never existed. The English name "Palestinian", to describe the
local Arab population, was invented AFTER the establishment of the State of
Israel in 1948. These Arabs do not even have a native name to describe
themselves in their own Arabic language. The Arabs who now claim to be natives
of the Holy Land have migrated to Palestine and invaded the land after 1917, from
neighboring Arab countries. There is only one possible solution to the
"Palestinians" desire for a homeland - let them return to where they
came from - to where they lived earlier for hundreds or thousands of years - to
their real homeland in their original Arab countries.
In the 20th century, there were practically no Muslim Arabs in the Holy Land. By contrast, the Jews, despite over 2200 years of persecution and forced conversions by various conquerors, have throughout
most of history been the majority population there. In Jerusalem Jews were
always the largest demographic group, except for periods when conquerors
specifically threw them out and prevented them from returning.
When General Allenby, the commander of the British military forces, conquered Palestine in 1917/1918, only a few thousand Muslim Arabs resided in the Holy Land. Most of the Arabs were Christians, and most of the Muslims in the area either came from Turkey under the Ottoman Empire, or were the descendants of Jews and Christians who were forcefully converted to Islam by the Muslim conquerors.
These Muslims were not of Arab origin. Most references to Arabs in Palestine before 1917 refer to the Christian Arabs, not to the Muslims.
Out of the over a million Jewish people expelled from Arab countries, over a hundred thousand died due to persecution and hardship by the Arabs which have confiscated all their resources and left them to die,

Number one. I have not deleted any comments. Number two. I will gladly respond to responsible and valid question and opinions. That said.
I am pro peace and coexistence.
If and when the Arabs want to live in peace and harmony, I have promoted and actually exercised myself what I state.
I was in charge of building a five star hotel in Jerusalem, across from the old city of Jerusalem.
Many of the workers were Arabs. Some did fine work and some plugged the new sewer lines with cement and caused damage to the construction.
It is a known fact that the Arabs persecuted and expelled over a million Jewish families from their Arab countries and confiscated all their assets and land 5-6 times the size of Israel. Many of those expelled Jews have lived in those Arab countries for over 2,400 years. Most expelled Jews from Arab countries settled in Greater Israel over half of Israel's populations are the Jews expelled from Arab countries and their descendants.
It is time to settle all the Arab refugees in their own Arab lands.
If you are objective and study history of the region you will be able to comment in a more balanced manner.
The Arabs and the world at large can try and twist the facts via false information in the Media utilizing Oil as a political weapon. It will not work.
ReplyDeleteIsrael has offered to build homes for the Arab-Palestinians - the Arab leaders rejected it.
Wake up. They want all of Israel and nothing less.
The Jewish and Arab Refugee resolution
Since the late 1940's the Arab States have persecuted and expelled over a million
Jewish families and their children. They confiscated their assets, businesses, homes and Real Estate
which is 120,440 Sq, Km. (about 5-6 times the size of Israel) and is valued in the trillions of
dollars. The State of Israel has resettled the majority of the million Jews
expelled from the Arab countries in Greater Israel. The Arabs claim that about
600,000 Arabs were displaced from their homes during the 1948 war. Most of the Arab
population abandoned their homes at the request of the 5 Arab Armies who were
sure to defeat the newly reconstituted Jewish State. About 300,000 Arabs out of
the 600,000 stayed. Now the Arab and Jewish population has increased
dramatically. Many new Arabs have moved into the area, and many new Jews from
the Holocaust and other areas have emigrated to Israel. It is about time that the Arab
countries that expelled over a million Jews should resettle the Arab refugees
in their vast lands. Utilize the funding which is given to the Arab refugees
(instead of using it for weapons and war) to relocate, build housing, schools,
commerce and industry and resolve this tragedy once and for all. This will
bring peace and tranquility to the region.

ReplyDeleteTo posit we are fighting a "war" against Islamic terrorism is nonsense. r1
ReplyDeleteThe purpose of war is to take the heart out of the enemy by striking his strategic assets, his leaders, high-tech control networks, and any major weapons systems. Wiping out his cities and populations has long been a strategy that takes the fight out of enemies, endangers leaders and keeps them looking back over their shoulders. Our blood and treasure has been directed against their ignorant foot-soldiers and relatively small arms caches. The question which demands an answer is, why do we spend $millions to wipe out penny ante soldier-leaders and their cheap weapons?
We have embarked upon this course because our leaders fear losing political power in a government "system" they have learned to master. Thus, the military action they chose is just enough to show they are "trying". The real motivation is to be "politically correct", thus, maintaining the status quo and position of power in a Big Government which allows people large compensation, benefits, and privileges. These leaders who are only concerned with political agendas need to be dumped for leaders who know how to totally destroy an enemy.
Fear and greed are two of the greatest motivators which control man who is driven by survival genes that brought him thru long hardships on the planet. Terrorists are following the ages-old techniques of earliest "primitives". By being viciously cruel and savage, they inspire disabling fear in any surviving competitor. The terrorist's greed for power and privilege is easily directed back to his savage nature. Fear is removed in him by the false religious leader-driven conviction that there is honor and reward in killing innocents, and dying for Islam.
Since there are few strategic physical assets or major control networks, we have to attack what's left, the terror driving leadership. We attack the secular leaders, but fear that attacking the source of religious terror, in the mosques, will paint our leaders as savages, not the elite image they want. They "fear" to fight positively.
The easiest and most effective strategy would be to induce great fear in their religious leaders of them losing their power and lives. If a force of unknown origin focused on the quiet disappearance of the most vocal and incendiary clerics that incite terrorism, there would not be foot soldiers to carry out the hate and terror. To quote Sun Tzu in The Art of War, "The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting". Thus, if you cut off the many heads of the terrorist groups, there would be no terrorist groups to wage a war against.

Can We Unmask Islams Ideology as false?
The Arabs and the world at large can try and twist the facts via false information in the Media utilizing Oil as a political weapon. It will not work.
ReplyDeleteIsrael has offered to build homes for the Arab-Palestinians - the Arab leaders rejected it.
Wake up. They want all of Israel and nothing less.
The Jewish and Arab Refugee resolution.
Since the late 1940's the Arab States have persecuted and expelled over a million Jewish families and their children. They confiscated their assets, businesses, homes and Real Estate which is 120,440 Sq, Km. (about 5-6 times the size of Israel) and is valued in the trillions of dollars. The State of Israel has resettled the majority of the million Jews expelled from the Arab countries in Greater Israel. The Arabs claim that about 600,000 Arabs were displaced from their homes during the 1948 war. Most of the Arab
population abandoned their homes at the request of the 5 Arab Armies who were sure to defeat the newly reconstituted Jewish State. About 300,000 Arabs out of the 600,000 stayed. Now the Arab and Jewish population has increased
dramatically. Many new Arabs have moved into the area, and many new Jews from the Holocaust and other areas have emigrated to Israel. It is about time that the Arab countries that expelled over a million Jews should resettle the Arab refugees in their vast lands. Utilize the funding which is given to the Arab refugees (instead of using it for weapons and war) to relocate, build housing, schools, commerce and industry and resolve this tragedy once and for all. This will bring peace and tranquility to the region.

Media accuracy and unbiased reporting must be enforced
ReplyDeleteIt seems the Media cannot regulate itself to present a true and honest reporting.
Responsible and honest reporting has been replaced with ambiguous confusing and illusory news reports, with no regard to the consequences. Facts and sources are not properly verified and an inaccurate unsubstantiated news story gets released to the public, that may cause substantial harm. Some stories are intentionally staged for the camera
What has happened to ethics in Journalism? Has Social Media added a new dimension to honest reporting? Can we overcome distorted Social Media for accuracy? How can we verify instant Social Media images from being photo-shopped? Can we impose responsible Social Media without affecting the freedom of speech?
Whether we like it or not, the masses are influenced by the Media, could you imagine how children and young adults absorb the Media hype, regardless weather it is truth or illusion. The damage is long term and may not be reversible. Children are very impressionable, they think what they see on TV emulate real life, which we know is distorted and make believe, they carry these illusions as reality which affects their future adversely.
The Media reporting must be neutral, unbiased, balanced, objective and impartial. Violators should be subject to fines and criminal charges if people suffer due to intentional distortion of reports or intentionally slanted to deceive or promote favoritism that escalates into violence and or cause harm and or financial loss.
When a Media outlet intentionally distorts and misinforms the news and events, it should forfeit the right to free speech and free press and face the music.
In the past decades Media outlets have expanded the creation of sensationalism to promote readership and revenues. These types of reports many times intentionally distorts the facts and true dimension of the report. Thus creating more dissention and crisis that leads to violence and death.
It seems that the Media today has no emotion, no compassion. Much of the news is choreographed for the sake of sensationalism and rating. Which comes down to dollars and financial gain. Society today is so hungry for money, power, instant gratification and glamour.
Is there a chance of going back to honor, honesty, integrity and fighting for truth and justice the old American way. Overcoming false showmanship and artificial presentation. Broadcasting truth and reality, thereby regaining public trust in the Media?
This very same rebuke and standards must be applied to our elected government officials.

It is time to implement population transfer for all the Arabs who create violence, riot and attack Jews and anyone else. They could be relocated to the home and land of the million Jewish families, persecuted and expelled from Arab countries.
ReplyDeleteA Jewish person and any other person in Jerusalem and the rest of Greater Israel has the right to live and walk in his own country in peace and tranquility without fear or intimidation.
I suggest a massive demonstration by Israelis, demanding the government to restore peace without fear or intimidation at all costs. Israel must ignore world opinion and the Media, they will criticize and defame Israel no matter what.
Eventually the world at large respects a government that protects its people.
According to International Law All Jews have the right to live in any area of the original San Remo Treaty of 1920 and the Mandate for Palestine adoption in perpetuity by the League of Nations.
It is interesting to note that the World at large is not questioning the State of Jordan and its territory, which was taken from the allocation to Jewish land. Jordan a State that has never existed in history prior to WW1. But Israel that has existed on its land for over 3,500 years which included The land Jordan occupies, they are questioning Israel’s land. They do not mention that The Arabs ejected a million Jewish people and confiscated their homes and assets and that about 650,000 of them were settled in Israel’s LIBERATED TERRITORY.
Arabs are the occupiers, they have 21 Arab States that were granted to them after WW1 by the same powers that granted the State of Israel. The Arabs countries also expelled over a million Jewish people (who have lived there for at least 2,400 years) from their countries and confiscated their assets, businesses, homes and land (5 times the size of Israel) valued in the trillions of dollars.
There is no other term for Jewish villages and towns in Judea and Samaria and East Jerusalem than Liberated Jewish Territories.
To negate any claim of Arab ownership of the land, Read and study the Ottoman empire land title. It states that approximately 98% of the land was owned by the government, some of it was leased to the Arab population as sharecroppers, not owners.
The balance 2% was owned by Arab land barons and absentee owners who sold the land at premium prices to the Jews.
Here is the incredible testimony of The Mufti of Jerusalem on January 12, 1937 when he documents in testimony for the British Peel Commission that the Jews did not steal land from the Arab Palestinians but by the year of 1920, the time of the “Occupation” meaning the British Palestine Mandate, the Jewish people had already purchased 1,500,000 dunams of land in the Land of Israel which is 375,000 acres.
The Mufti also testified that the land was not bought by “forcibly acquired-compulsory acquisition of land”. That kind of ruling behavior was the action of the Ottoman rulers and not the Jews. Also the Mufti admitted that any evictions done were by absentee landlords who chose to sell “land over the heads of their tenants, who then were forcibly evicted”, and that the majority of these tenants were not Palestinians but Lebanese.
It is a common practice by the Muslims to obfuscate, distort, outright fabrication and misrepresent facts to their benefit, it is even permitted under their religion, in order to accomplish their goals.

No Jew has the right to yield the rights of the Jewish People in Israel -
ReplyDeleteDavid Ben Gurion
(David Ben-Gurion was the first Prime Minister of Israel and widely hailed as the State's main founder).
"No Jew has the right to yield the rights of the Jewish People in Israel.
No Jew has the authority to do so.
No Jewish body has the authority to do so.
Not even the entire Jewish People alive today has the right to yield any part ofIsrael.
It is the right of the Jewish People over the generations, a right that under
no conditions can be cancelled.
Even if Jews during a specific period proclaim they are relinquishing this right, they have neither the power nor the authority to deny it to future generations.
No concession of this type is binding or obligates the Jewish People. Our right to the country - the entire country - exists as an eternal right, and we shall not yield this historic right until its full and complete redemption is realized."
(David Ben Gurion, Zionist Congress, Basel, Switzerland, 1937.)
"No country in the world exists today by virtue of its 'right'.
All countries exist today by virtue of their ability to defend themselves against those who seek their destruction."

One must convey Jewish feelings and passions about Jerusalem with un-minced words.
When it comes to JERUSALEM’S sovereignty there is a line drawn in the sand. For the Jews, Jerusalem is their heart, aspirations, their holy city, devotion, ideals, symbol of being a nation with history, a nation with prophets, justice, fairness, rich Jewish history and the Jewish soul. When a Jew conveys his feeling about Jerusalem, he must not worry about offending anybody, or hurt feelings. We cannot make an omelet without cracking eggs, and a Jew cannot and must not be apologetic about Jewish’ feelings concerning Jerusalem. it is clear to me even if I were not a Jew, just from a pragmatic consideration of running a city, that any division of Jerusalem will lead eventually to immense unbearable friction and sooner-or-later to another war. We must present and make the analogy, that dividing Jerusalem is like dividing the baby in King Solomon’s verdict. Jews do not divide babies, only those who do not feel and care for the baby are prepared to take half. This is what every Jew must say.
I hope that we all have the opportunity to say these tough words for Jerusalem and the Jewish people.
P.S. How many holidays do the Arabs-Muslims celebrate due to historical events in the land of ancient Israel. The Jewish people celebrate most of their holidays and fast days in memory of and the goal and aspiration to return to Israel and rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem - where it was before it was destroyed and desecrated by the enemies of the Jews. Many of the Jewish prayers for thousands of years recite the love of Israel and the Jewish aspirations to return to their ancestral land and bring back its glory and holiness.
Israel must stay united and determined to preserve and maintain an unparalleled security at all cost r2
ReplyDeleteIn order to develop and maintain a robust economy that is able to withstand violence and political pressure, it is imperative that Israelis be united and stay united. Only an exceedingly strong, unified government will drive the country's security and safety up, and at the same time, drive the price of basic staples down. One of the most important steps toward a robust economy is for Israel to develop its' energy resources and to become energy independent.
Israel must be a country that will be able to stand up to anti-Israel propaganda, to rising worldwide anti-Semitism, to the political pressure and the constant de-legitimization and demonization of the nation state of the Jewish people. Remember, a unified and strong Israel means a strong and undeterred entire Jewish nation with the ability to support the country and its citizens, and provide a safe haven for Jews worldwide.
We have a country to sustain and protect from external and internal enemies. We have a country to protect from the barrages of rockets and missiles that can reach every corner of the country. We have to protect our citizens from suicide bombers, terror and violence. We need a country that can stand up, with dignity and pride, to world pressure. It is imperative to be united at time of war.
But Israel must also be united to sustain and achieve its continued survival, peace and prosperity.
As such, I advocate that the citizens of Israel be smart in their upcoming exercise of political power. Israeli citizens must demand, with resolve, from their elected politicians to deliver on their promises to keep the country strong and safe. Israelis must not let Israel be weakened under the Israel's new "5th column" or the political Left, whether it is the High Court or other entities. Furthermore, Israelis should no longer tolerate the politicians, the media, or even other citizens who delude themselves and refuse to accept reality based upon facts, harsh truth, and past history.
Israelis must fight for the soul of our country. We must fight for our heritage and our Jewish cause, which is for a nationalist, political, and cultural movement which supports the continual development of the Jewish homeland in the ancestral territory defined as the historic Land of Israel.
All Israeli politicians and leaders must understand any and all internal conflict which leads to divisiveness weakens Israel. If they really care about Israel and its people and want Israel to survive in these difficult times, they must unify in a common cause and work together to enhance Israel's safety and security. They must learn how to overcome their differences, for the sake of Israel and its people. Any elected or appointed leader, politician or official that pursues divisiveness and continues to incite conflict does not belong in a position to govern or represent Israel and its people. The self-serving agendas of the individual or party, which does not promote unity must stop immediately.
Here is a viable alternative: re-create the historical two Jewish entities which followed King Solomon. At that time Greater Israel was one Jewish entity, and Judea and Samaria was the second Jewish entity. For example, this template would allow the citizens of Israel the choice of living in the entity which strictly adheres to Jewish tradition and culture, or, they can live in the other entity which does not strictly adhere to said tradition. The end result would be a much needed unity in the common purpose of maintaining the security and prosperity of Israel regardless of differences.
Without total unity of all Israelis, Israel will be subjected to follow the historical path of many nations which existed before, and now, no longer exist.

The world most times will not agree with Israel's defensive actions. It seems as time passes they realize that Israel saved their butts.
As history shows. The Jews and Israel have always been criticized, no matter what.
You might as well do the right thing and defend Israel and its people. Dam the world opinion.
The world did nothing when 6 million Jews were exterminated during WW2 and they did nothing when the Arab countries expelled a million Jewish people and confiscated all their assets.
There is a famous Jewish saying "If I am not for myself who is for me".
I think you do not have all the facts. U.S. needs Israel as much as Israel needs the U.S. The relations and history between the U.S. Israel and the Jewish people goes back when England first sent people via the Mayflower to inhabit America.
The Jewish people were very involved in the War of Independence of the U.S.A.
The government of the U.S.A. was very supportive after WWI in reconstituting the Jewish people in there ancestral land.
It is a relation that has its ups and downs, depends on the American administration at the time and the political international conditions.
As long as communist Russia was involved in the Middle East, Israel was an arm of the U.S. in helping the U.S. to control Russian interests in the Middle East.

The Jewish and Arab Refugee resolution Since the late 1940's the Arab States have expelled over a million Jewish people. They confiscated their assets, businesses, homes and Real Estate which is 120,440 Sq, Km. (about 5-6 times the size of Israel 120.440 sq. km.) and is valued in the trillions of dollars. The State of Israel has resettled the majority of the million Jews expelled from the Arab countries in Greater Israel. The Arabs claim that about 600,000 Arabs were displaced from their homes during the 1948 war. Most of the Arab population abandoned their homes at the request of the 5 Arab Armies who were sure to defeat the newly reconstituted Jewish State. About 300,000 Arabs out of the 600,000 stayed. Now the Arab and Jewish population has increased dramatically. Many new Arabs have moved into the area, and many new Jews from the Holocaust and other areas have emigrated to Israel. It is about time that the Arab countries that expelled over a million Jews should resettle the Arab refugees in their vast lands. Utilize the funding which is given to the Arab refugees (instead of using it for weapons and war) to relocate, build housing, schools, commerce and industry and resolve this tragedy once and for all. This will bring peace and tranquility to the region.

"Crash Course on the Arab Israeli Conflict."
ReplyDeleteHere are overlooked facts in the current & past Middle East situation.
These were compiled by a Christian university professor:
BRIEF FACTS ON THE ISRAELI CONFLICT TODAY...
It makes sense and it's not slanted. Jew and non-Jew -- it doesn't matter.
1. Nationhood and Jerusalem.
Israel became a nation in 1312 BCE, Two thousand years before the rise of Islam.
2. Arab refugees in Israel began identifying themselves as part of a Palestinian people in 1967, two decades after the establishment of the modern State of Israel.
3. Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 BCE, the Jews have had dominion over the land for one thousand years with a continuous presence in the land for the past 3,300 years.
4. The only Arab dominion since the conquest in 635 CE lasted no more than 22 years.
5. For over 3,300 years, Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital. Jerusalem has never been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Even when the Jordanians occupied Jerusalem, they never sought to make it their capital, and Arab leaders did not come to visit.
6. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in Tanach, the Jewish Holy scriptures.
Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Koran.
7. King David founded the city of Jerusalem. Mohammed never came to Jerusalem.
8. Jews pray facing Jerusalem. Muslims pray with their backs toward Jerusalem.
9. Arab and Jewish Refugees: in 1948 the Arab refugees were encouraged to leave Israel by Arab leaders promising to purge the land of Jews Sixty-eight percent left without ever seeing an Israeli soldier.
10 The Jewish refugees were forced to flee from Arab lands due to Arab
brutality, persecution and pogroms.
11. The number of Arab refugees who left Israel in 1948 is estimated to be
around 630,000. The number of Jewish refugees from Arab lands is estimated to be the same.
12. Arab refugees were INTENTIONALLY not absorbed or integrated into the Arab lands to which they fled, despite the vast Arab territory. Out of the 100,000,000 refugees since World War II, theirs is the only refugee group in the world that has never been absorbed or integrated into their own people's lands.
Jewish refugees; that includes over a million Jewish refugees expelled from Arab countries, were completely absorbed into Israel, a country no larger than the state of New Jersey ...
13. The Arab-Israeli Conflict: the Arabs are represented by eight separate
nations, not including the Palestinians. There is only one Jewish nation. The Arab nations initiated all five wars and lost. Israel defended itself each time and won.
14. The PLO's Charter still calls for the destruction of the State of Israel.
Israel has given the Palestinians most of the West Bank land, autonomy under the Palestinian Authority, and has supplied them.
15. Under Jordanian rule, Jewish holy sites were desecrated and the Jews were denied access to places of worship. Under Israeli rule, all Muslim and Christian sites have been preserved and made accessible to people of all faiths.
16. The UN Record on Israel and the Arabs: of the 175 Security Council
resolutions passed before 1990, 97 were directed against Israel.
17. Of the 690 General Assembly resolutions voted on before 1990, 429 were directed against Israel.
18. The UN was silent while 58 Jerusalem Synagogues were destroyed by the Jordanians.
19. The UN was silent while the Jordanians systematically desecrated the ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives.
20. The UN was silent while the Jordanians enforced an apartheid-like a policy of preventing Jews from visiting the Temple Mount and the Western Wall.
These are incredible times. We have to ask what our role should be. What will we tell our grandchildren about what we did when there was a turning point in Jewish destiny, an opportunity to make a difference?
The U.N. is an antis emetic organization
ReplyDeleteThe U.N. Anti-Semitism agenda.
This is all smoke and mirrors.
The history of the U.N. in relationship to Israel which affects anti-Semitism worldwide, has been shameful and catastrophic.
When you have an organization where a substantial part of its members are adamantly anti Israel and promote her destruction.
Members who spew hate and violence.
Members who consistently vote against Israel without justification or humane logic.
An organization that finances terrorism and helps Hamas and its ilk to hide weapons and launch missiles from U.N. facilities against innocent civilians, men, women and children.
Look at the history of U.N. resolutions against Israel and the resolutions against the terrorists organization confronting Israel.
The U.N. an organization that is extremely biased against Israel.
When you put members of states that violate human rights on a daily basis on the Human rights commission, that speaks volumes.
I can go on and on.
Need I say more.

Any Israeli leader promoting the uprooting of Jewish Towns, Villages or Settlements is a traitor to the people of Israel. Any Jewish leader authorizing the uprooting Jews from their homes in Greater Israel should be prosecuted for crimes against the Jewish people and ejected from office permanently.
ReplyDeleteUnder all the Treaties and agreements after WWI and the 1920's. It states: Jewish people have the right to settle and live anywhere in the Mandate for Palestine.
Throughout history, Jewish people have been persecuted and uprooted from their homes and lands in the world at large.
Now that the Jewish people have returned to their ancestral lands and are resettling it. Thus it is the ultimate crime against the Jewish people to uproot them from their own homes in the Jewish homeland by a Jewish government.

We are fighting a "war" against Islamic terrorism is nonsense.
ReplyDeleteA war aims to take the heart out of the enemy, by striking his strategic assets, his leaders, high-tech control networks, and any major weapons systems. Wiping out his cities and populations has long been a strategy that takes the fight out of enemies, endangers leaders and keeps them looking back over their shoulders. Our blood and treasure has been directed against their ignorant foot-soldiers and relatively small arms caches. We spend $millions to wipe out penny ante soldier-leaders and their cheap weapons, and we do this because our leaders fear losing power in a "system" they have learned to master, so the military action they chose is just enough to show they are "trying". That is what's behind "politically correct", maintaining the status quo and your position in the Big Government that allows little people large compensation, benefits, and privileges. Those leaders need to be dumped for some who know how to totally destroy an enemy.
Fear and greed are the two greatest emotions that control man who is driven by survival genes that brought him thru long hardships on the planet. Terrorists are following the ages-old techniques of earliest "primitives". By being viciously cruel and savage, they inspire disabling fear in any surviving competitor. The little terrorist's greed for power and privilege is easily directed back to his savage nature. Fear is removed in him by religious leader-driven conviction that there is honor and reward in dying for Islam.
Since there are few strategic physical assets or major control networks, we have to attack what's left, the terror driving leadership. We attack the secular leaders, but fear that attacking the source of religious terror, in the mosques, will paint our leaders as savages, not the elite image they want. They "fear" to fight positively.
The easiest and most effective strategy would be to induce great fear in their religious leaders; few are that religious that they won't fear losing their power and lives.
If a force of unknown origin focused on the quiet disappearance of the most vocal and incendiary clerics that incite terrorism, perhaps after a particularly inspiring sermon, fear and wonder might slowly displace their hate and religious zeal. Just think about a better target and let us know.

Israel's in her ancestral land - SOVEREIGNTY IN THE ADMINISTERED TERRITORIES
ReplyDeleteThe principle ex iniuria non oritur ius operates in international law to the effect that no legal claim to territory can rise out of an illegal aggression. Professor Stone examines the application of this rule to the competing claims of Israel and Jordan in the administered territories. In his conclusion, he draws upon the writings of Professor Stephen Schwebel, now an eminent judge of the International Court of Justice
The Self-Defense Principle
The basic precept of international law concerning the rights of a state victim of aggression, which has lawfully occupied the attacking state’s territory in the course of self-defense, is clear. And it is still international law after the Charter, which gave to the UN General Assembly no power to amend this law. This precept is that a lawful occupant such as Israel is entitled to remain in control of the territory involved pending negotiation of a treaty of peace.
Both Resolution 242 (1967) and Resolution 338 (1973), adopted by the Security Council after respective wars of those years, expressed this requirement for settlement by negotiations between the parties, the latter in those words. Conversely both the Security Council and the General Assembly in 1967 resisted heavy Soviet and Arab pressures demanding automatic Israeli withdrawal to the pre-1997 frontiers. Through the decade 1966-67, Egypt and her Arab allies compounded the illegality of their continued hostilities by proclaiming the slogan “No recognition! No Peace! No negotiation!” thus blocking the regular process of international law for post-war pacification and settlement…
Israel's territorial rights after 1967 are best seen by contrasting them with Jordan's lack of such rights in Jerusalem and the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) after the Arab invasion of Palestine in 1948. The presence of Jordan in Jerusalem and elsewhere in cis-Jordan[1] from 1948 to 1967 was only by virtue of her illegal entry in 1948. Under the international law principle ex iniuria non oritur ius she acquired no legal title there. Egypt itself denied Jordanian Sovereignty; and Egypt never tried to claim Gaza as Egyptian territory
By contrast, Israel's presence in all these areas pending negotiation of new borders is entirely lawful, since Israel entered them lawfully in self-defense. International law forbids acquisition by unlawful force, but not where, as in the case of Israel's self-defense in 1967, the entry on the territory was lawful. It does not so forbid it, in particular, when the force is used to stop an aggressor, for the effect of such prohibition would be to guarantee to all potential aggressors that, even if their aggression failed, all territory lost in the attempt would be automatically returned to them. Such a rule would be absurd to the point of lunacy. There is no such rule….
International law, therefore, gives a triple underpinning to Israel's claim that she is under no obligation to hand back automatically the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) and Gaza and the Golan Heights to Jordan or anyone else. In the first place, these lands never legally belonged to Jordan. Second, even if they had, Israel's own present control is lawful, and she is entitled to negotiate the extent and the terms of her withdrawal. Third, international law would not in such circumstances require the automatic handing back of territory even to an aggressor who was the former sovereign. It requires the extent and conditions of the handing back to be negotiated between the parties.

Exposing The True Identity of the So-called Arab-Palestinians
ReplyDeleteThere are some modern false belief - or more exactly, lies- that we can hear everyday through the mass-media as if they were true, of course, hiding the actual truth. For example, whenever the Temple Mount or Jerusalem are mentioned, it is usually remarked that is “the third holy place for Muslims”, but why it is never said that is the FIRST Holy Place for Jews? It sounds like an utterly biased information!
In order to make this article easier to comprehend, it will be presented in two units:
•1) False beliefs and facts concerning the origin and identity of the so-called Arab-Palestinians;
•2) False beliefs and facts regarding Jerusalem and the Land of Israel.
I – Origin and identity of the so-called Arab-Palestinians
Arab-Palestinians are the newest of all the peoples on the face of the Earth, and began to exist in a single day by a kind of supernatural phenomenon that is unique in the whole history of mankind, as it is witnessed by Walid Shoebat, a former PLO terrorist that acknowledged the lie he was fighting for and the truth he was fighting against:
“Why is it that on June 4th 1967 I was a Jordanian and overnight I became an Arab-Palestinian?”
“We did not particularly mind Jordanian rule. The teaching of the destruction of Israel was a definite part of the curriculum, but we considered ourselves Jordanian until the Jews returned to Jerusalem. Then all of the sudden we were Arab-Palestinians – they removed the star from the Jordanian flag and all at once we had an Arab-Palestinian flag”.
“When I finally realized the lies and myths I was taught, it is my duty as a righteous person to speak out”.
This declaration by a true Arab “Palestinian” should have some significance for a sincerely neutral observer. Indeed, there is no such a thing like a Arab-Palestinian people, or an Arab-Palestinian culture, or an Arab-Palestinian language, or an Arab-Palestinian history. There has never been any Arab-Palestinian state, neither any Arab-Palestinian archaeological find nor coinage. The present-day “Palestinians” are an Arab people, with Arab culture, Arabic language and Arab history. They have their own Arab states from where they came into the Land of Israel about one century ago to contrast the Jewish immigration. That is the historical truth. They were Jordanians (another recent British invention, as there has never been any people known as “Jordanians”), and after the Six-Day War in which Israel utterly defeated the coalition of nine Arab states and retook legitimate possession of Judea and Samaria, the Arab dwellers in those regions underwent a kind of anthropological miracle and discovered that they were Arab-Palestinians – something they did not know the day before. Of course, these people having a new identity had to build themselves a history, namely, had to steal some others’ history, and the only way that the victims of the theft would not complain is if those victims no longer exist. Therefore, the Arab-Palestinian leaders claimed two contradictory lineages from ancient peoples that inhabited in the Land of Israel: the Tribes in Israel prior to the Jewish conquest: Canaanites, Jebusites, Hittites, Amorites, Perrizites, Girgashite, Hevites, other tribes and the Philistines.

P.S.
How many holidays do the Arabs celebrate due to historical events in the land of ancient Israel. The Jewish people celebrate most of their holidays and fast days in memory of and the goal and aspiration to return to Israel and rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem – where it was before it was destroyed and desecrated by the enemies of the Jews. Many of the Jewish prayers for thousands of years recite the love of Israel and the Jewish aspirations to return to their ancestral land and bring back its glory and holiness.
The hatred and incitement are so engrained in Palestinians’ very being, that everything is permissible, including butchering innocent children. Everything is justified, including using one’s own children and civilians as live shields. It is the duty of each believing Muslim to engage in a holy war against the Zionists who defile the Arab land called Palestine.
ReplyDeleteThis culture of death is so infected that there is only one pill to rid the affected body of it. What is done to administer that pill? Who will administer it?
One would expect Israel, whose body is ailing, to attempt to take care of itself. Alas, Israel and the Jewish communities around the world are embroiled in a culture of constant debate on behalf of the Palestinians, completely oblivious to any damage they thus cause to themselves.
Expecting the world to be aware of their position on the Palestinian problems has been, and will continue to be, a costly mistake. The Palestinians are not interested to engage in a peace process, nor will they recognize the Jewish State’s right to exist. The world ignores this reality and Israel fails to present its case.
Israel behaves like a woman and the world is a man. A woman who expects a man to read her thoughts and anticipate her every need without clearly and directing stating it aloud, is in a constant state of frustration and loss. The world able to read Israel’s mind, are you kidding me?
The fact there is no cohesive plan and message with regard to the United Nations fiasco about to occur in September is a disgrace to diplomacy and a deadly mistake. The best defense is a good offense. It is time for Israel to go on the offensive in a big way.
There should already be a long and sustained outcry from Prime Minister Netanyahu regularly against the danger of usurping Israeli lands and their rightful capital. He should make quite clear to the world what will happen if any such attempts to take such lands proceed.
Standing by and waiting for the world to chime in and read Israel’s mind about this egregious plan has never worked in the past, and with the advent of a pro Palestinian government in Washington it is a deadly miscalculation.
The world has never stood up for the Jewish people until it affected them directly. The U.S. refused to enter World War II until it was no longer possible to refrain from combat.
What makes Israel believe it will be any different this time?
Israel’s enemies know the value of repeating lies and untruths over and over until the world accepts them as true. Yet, Jewish leaders stand idly by watching as the world’s opinion turns against the Jewish State.
There must be a continual response to these lies. Our enemy’s words only resonate because we allow them to do so.
The words No, No, No, that is a lie and here is why, should be Israel’s battle cry going forward. No propaganda can go unanswered. No historical rewrites can be allowed to stand in for the truth.
Until Israel gets its message together and stops worrying about what the world thinks, it will be seen as a weak and tiresome country. No one will defend someone who will not defend himself. No one respects a wimp, and as we are all told continually, “the world loves a winner.” Until Israel acts like a winner, it continues to be the loser.
Lack of communication is creating untold problems for the State of Israel.
We need strong voices in unison to combat the lies and agenda of destruction or we are doomed. It is time the Jewish people spoke in one long and loud voice to save their country and their homeland.

We are fighting a "war" against Islamic terrorism is nonsense.
ReplyDeleteA war aims to take the heart out of the enemy, by striking his strategic assets, his leaders, high-tech control networks, and any major weapons systems. Wiping out his cities and populations has long been a strategy that takes the fight out of enemies, endangers leaders and keeps them looking back over their shoulders. Our blood and treasure has been directed against their ignorant foot-soldiers and relatively small arms caches. We spend $millions to wipe out penny ante soldier-leaders and their cheap weapons, and we do this because our leaders fear losing power in a "system" they have learned to master, so the military action they chose is just enough to show they are "trying".

Any Israeli leader promoting the uprooting of Jewish Towns, Villages or Settlements is a traitor to the people of Israel. Any Jewish leader authorizing the uprooting Jews from their homes in Greater Israel should be prosecuted for crimes against the Jewish people and ejected from office permanently.
ReplyDeleteUnder all the Treaties and agreements after WWI and the 1920's. It states: Jewish people have the right to settle and live anywhere in the Mandate for Palestine.
Throughout history, Jewish people have been persecuted and uprooted from their homes and lands in the world at large.
Now that the Jewish people have returned to their ancestral lands and are resettling it. Thus it is the ultimate crime against the Jewish people to uproot them from their own homes in the Jewish homeland by a Jewish government.

The U.N. is an antis emetic organization
ReplyDeleteThe U.N. Anti-Semitism agenda.
This is all smoke and mirrors.
The history of the U.N. in relationship to Israel which affects anti-Semitism worldwide, has been shameful and catastrophic.
When you have an organization where a substantial part of its members are adamantly anti Israel and promote her destruction.
Members who spew hate and violence.
Members who consistently vote against Israel without justification or humane logic.
An organization that finances terrorism and helps Hamas and its ilk to hide weapons and launch missiles from U.N. facilities against innocent civilians, men, women and children.
Look at the history of U.N. resolutions against Israel and the resolutions against the terrorists organization confronting Israel.
The U.N. an organization that is extremely biased against Israel.
When you put members of states that violate human rights on a daily basis on the Human rights commission, that speaks volumes.
I can go on and on.

"Crash Course on the Arab Israeli Conflict."
ReplyDeleteHere are overlooked facts in the current & past Middle East situation.
These were compiled by a Christian university professor:
BRIEF FACTS ON THE ISRAELI CONFLICT TODAY...
It makes sense and it's not slanted. Jew and non-Jew -- it doesn't matter.
1. Nationhood and Jerusalem.
Israel became a nation in 1312 BCE, Two thousand years before the rise of Islam.
2. Arab refugees in Israel began identifying themselves as part of a Palestinian people in 1967, two decades after the establishment of the modern State of Israel.
3. Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 BCE, the Jews have had dominion over the land for one thousand years with a continuous presence in the land for the past 3,300 years.
4. The only Arab dominion since the conquest in 635 CE lasted no more than 22 years.
5. For over 3,300 years, Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital. Jerusalem has never been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Even when the Jordanians occupied Jerusalem, they never sought to make it their capital, and Arab leaders did not come to visit.
6. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in Tanach, the Jewish Holy scriptures.
Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Koran.
7. King David founded the city of Jerusalem. Mohammed never came to Jerusalem.
8. Jews pray facing Jerusalem. Muslims pray with their backs toward Jerusalem.
9. Arab and Jewish Refugees: in 1948 the Arab refugees were encouraged to leave Israel by Arab leaders promising to purge the land of Jews Sixty-eight percent left without ever seeing an Israeli soldier.
10 The Jewish refugees were forced to flee from Arab lands due to Arab
brutality, persecution and pogroms.
11. The number of Arab refugees who left Israel in 1948 is estimated to be
around 630,000. The number of Jewish refugees from Arab lands is estimated to be the same.
12. Arab refugees were INTENTIONALLY not absorbed or integrated into the Arab lands to which they fled, despite the vast Arab territory. Out of the 100,000,000 refugees since World War II, theirs is the only refugee group in the world that has never been absorbed or integrated into their own people's lands.
Jewish refugees; that includes over a million Jewish refugees expelled from Arab countries, were completely absorbed into Israel, a country no larger than the state of New Jersey ...
13. The Arab-Israeli Conflict: the Arabs are represented by eight separate
nations, not including the Palestinians. There is only one Jewish nation. The Arab nations initiated all five wars and lost. Israel defended itself each time and won.
14. The PLO's Charter still calls for the destruction of the State of Israel.
Israel has given the Palestinians most of the West Bank land, autonomy under the Palestinian Authority, and has supplied them.
15. Under Jordanian rule, Jewish holy sites were desecrated and the Jews were denied access to places of worship. Under Israeli rule, all Muslim and Christian sites have been preserved and made accessible to people of all faiths.
16. The UN Record on Israel and the Arabs: of the 175 Security Council
resolutions passed before 1990, 97 were directed against Israel.
17. Of the 690 General Assembly resolutions voted on before 1990, 429 were directed against Israel.
18. The UN was silent while 58 Jerusalem Synagogues were destroyed by the Jordanians.
19. The UN was silent while the Jordanians systematically desecrated the ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives.
20. The UN was silent while the Jordanians enforced an apartheid-like a policy of preventing Jews from visiting the Temple Mount and the Western Wall.
These are incredible times. We have to ask what our role should be. What will we tell our grandchildren about what we did when there was a turning point in Jewish destiny, an opportunity to make a difference?
The Jewish and Arab Refugee resolution Since the late 1940's the Arab States have expelled over a million Jewish people. They confiscated their assets, businesses, homes and Real Estate which is 120,440 Sq, Km. (about 5-6 times the size of Israel 120.440 sq. km.) and is valued in the trillions of dollars. The State of Israel has resettled the majority of the million Jews expelled from the Arab countries in Greater Israel. The Arabs claim that about 600,000 Arabs were displaced from their homes during the 1948 war. Most of the Arab population abandoned their homes at the request of the 5 Arab Armies who were sure to defeat the newly reconstituted Jewish State. About 300,000 Arabs out of the 600,000 stayed. Now the Arab and Jewish population has increased dramatically. Many new Arabs have moved into the area, and many new Jews from the Holocaust and other areas have emigrated to Israel. It is about time that the Arab countries that expelled over a million Jews should resettle the Arab refugees in their vast lands. Utilize the funding which is given to the Arab refugees (instead of using it for weapons and war) to relocate, build housing, schools, commerce and industry and resolve this tragedy once and for all. This will bring peace and tranquility to the region.

One must convey Jewish feelings and passions about Jerusalem with un-minced words.
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to JERUSALEM’S sovereignty there is a line drawn in the sand. For the
Jews, Jerusalem is their heart, aspirations, their holy
city, devotion, ideals, symbol of being a nation with history, a nation with
prophets, justice, fairness, rich Jewish history and the Jewish soul. When a
Jew conveys his feeling about Jerusalem, he must not worry about offending
anybody, or hurt feelings. We cannot make an omelet without cracking eggs, and
a Jew cannot and must not be apologetic about Jewish’ feelings concerning Jerusalem. it is clear to me even if I were not a Jew, just from a pragmatic consideration of running a city, that any division
of Jerusalem will lead eventually to immense unbearable
friction and sooner-or-later to another war. We must present and make the
analogy, that dividing Jerusalem is like dividing the baby in King Solomon’s verdict. Jews
do not divide babies, only those who do not feel and care for the baby are
prepared to take half. This is what every Jew must say.
I hope that we all have the opportunity to say these tough words for Jerusalem and the Jewish people.
P.S. How many holidays do the Arabs-Muslims celebrate due to historical events in the land of ancient Israel.
The Jewish people celebrate most of their holidays and fast days in memory of
and the goal and aspiration to return to Israel and rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem
- where it was before it was destroyed and desecrated by the enemies of the
Jews. Many of the Jewish prayers for thousands of years recite the love of Israel
and the Jewish aspirations to return to their ancestral land and bring back its
glory and holiness.

ReplyDeleteI am not in the Israeli government. But I think, Israel should have taken action against Iran years ago.
The longer they wait the harder it gets,
Menachem Begin as PM made the decision to bomb the nuclear dev. in Iraq. It was the right decision under tough circumstances.
The world most times will not agree with Israel's defensive actions. It seems as time passes they realize that Israel saved their butts.
As history shows. The Jews and Israel have always been criticized, no matter what.
You might as well do the right thing and defend Israel and its people. Dam the world opinion.
The world did nothing when 6 million Jews were exterminated during WW2 and they did nothing when the Arab countries expelled a million Jewish people and confiscated all their assets.
There is a famous Jewish saying "If I am not for myself who is for me".
I think you do not have all the facts. U.S. needs Israel as much as Israel needs the U.S. The relations and history between the U.S. Israel and the Jewish people goes back when England first sent people via the Mayflower to inhabit America.
The Jewish people were very involved in the War of Independence of the U.S.A.
The government of the U.S.A. was very supportive after WWI in reconstituting the Jewish people in there ancestral land.
It is a relation that has its ups and downs, depends on the American administration at the time and the political international conditions.
As long as communist Russia was involved in the Middle East, Israel was an arm of the U.S. in helping the U.S. to control Russian interests in the Middle East.
Today Israel more than any other country knows the true mission of the extremists Muslims and the terror they bring all over the world.

ReplyDeleteAll of them live in one Jewish State of Israel
Israel must stay united and determined to preserve and maintain an unparalleled security at all cost r2
ReplyDeleteIn order to develop and maintain a robust economy that is able to withstand violence and political pressure, it is imperative that Israelis be united and stay united. Only an exceedingly strong, unified government will drive the country's security and safety up, and at the same time, drive the price of basic staples down. One of the most important steps toward a robust economy is for Israel to develop its' energy resources and to become energy independent.
Israel must be a country that will be able to stand up to anti-Israel propaganda, to rising worldwide anti-Semitism, to the political pressure and the constant de-legitimization and demonization of the nation state of the Jewish people. Remember, a unified and strong Israel means a strong and undeterred entire Jewish nation with the ability to support the country and its citizens, and provide a safe haven for Jews worldwide.
We have a country to sustain and protect from external and internal enemies. We have a country to protect from the barrages of rockets and missiles that can reach every corner of the country. We have to protect our citizens from suicide bombers, terror and violence. We need a country that can stand up, with dignity and pride, to world pressure. It is imperative to be united at time of war.
But Israel must also be united to sustain and achieve its continued survival, peace and prosperity.
As such, I advocate that the citizens of Israel be smart in their upcoming exercise of political power. Israeli citizens must demand, with resolve, from their elected politicians to deliver on their promises to keep the country strong and safe. Israelis must not let Israel be weakened under the Israel's new "5th column" or the political Left, whether it is the High Court or other entities. Furthermore, Israelis should no longer tolerate the politicians, the media, or even other citizens who delude themselves and refuse to accept reality based upon facts, harsh truth, and past history.
Israelis must fight for the soul of our country. We must fight for our heritage and our Jewish cause, which is for a nationalist, political, and cultural movement which supports the continual development of the Jewish homeland in the ancestral territory defined as the historic Land of Israel.
All Israeli politicians and leaders must understand any and all internal conflict which leads to divisiveness weakens Israel. If they really care about Israel and its people and want Israel to survive in these difficult times, they must unify in a common cause and work together to enhance Israel's safety and security. They must learn how to overcome their differences, for the sake of Israel and its people. Any elected or appointed leader, politician or official that pursues divisiveness and continues to incite conflict does not belong in a position to govern or represent Israel and its people. The self-serving agendas of the individual or party, which does not promote unity must stop immediately.
Here is a viable alternative: re-create the historical two Jewish entities which followed King Solomon. At that time Greater Israel was one Jewish entity, and Judea and Samaria was the second Jewish entity. For example, this template would allow the citizens of Israel the choice of living in the entity which strictly adheres to Jewish tradition and culture, or, they can live in the other entity which does not strictly adhere to said tradition. The end result would be a much needed unity in the common purpose of maintaining the security and prosperity of Israel regardless of differences.
Without total unity of all Israelis, Israel will be subjected to follow the historical path of many nations which existed before, and now, no longer exist.

No Jew has the right to yield the rights of the Jewish People in Israel -
ReplyDeleteDavid Ben Gurion
(David Ben-Gurion was the first Prime Minister of Israel and widely hailed as the State's main founder).
"No Jew has the right to yield the rights of the Jewish People in Israel.
No Jew has the authority to do so.
No Jewish body has the authority to do so.
Not even the entire Jewish People alive today has the right to yield any part ofIsrael.
It is the right of the Jewish People over the generations, a right that under
no conditions can be cancelled.
Even if Jews during a specific period proclaim they are relinquishing this right, they have neither the power nor the authority to deny it to future generations.
No concession of this type is binding or obligates the Jewish People. Our right to the country - the entire country - exists as an eternal right, and we shall not yield this historic right until its full and complete redemption is realized."
(David Ben Gurion, Zionist Congress, Basel, Switzerland, 1937.)

All countries exist today by virtue of their ability to defend themselves against those who seek their destruction."

Media accuracy and unbiased reporting must be enforced

Responsible and honest reporting has been replaced with ambiguous confusing and illusory news reports, with no regard to the consequences. Facts and sources are not properly verified and an inaccurate unsubstantiated news story gets released to the public, that may cause substantial harm. Some stories are intentionally staged for the camera
What has happened to ethics in Journalism? Has Social Media added a new dimension to honest reporting? Can we overcome distorted Social Media for accuracy? How can we verify instant Social Media images from being photo-shopped? Can we impose responsible Social Media without affecting the freedom of speech?
Whether we like it or not, the masses are influenced by the Media, could you imagine how children and young adults absorb the Media hype, regardless weather it is truth or illusion. The damage is long term and may not be reversible. Children are very impressionable, they think what they see on TV emulate real life, which we know is distorted and make believe, they carry these illusions as reality which affects their future adversely.
The Media reporting must be neutral, unbiased, balanced, objective and impartial. Violators should be subject to fines and criminal charges if people suffer due to intentional distortion of reports or intentionally slanted to deceive or promote favoritism that escalates into violence and or cause harm and or financial loss.
When a Media outlet intentionally distorts and misinforms the news and events, it should forfeit the right to free speech and free press and face the music.
In the past decades Media outlets have expanded the creation of sensationalism to promote readership and revenues. These types of reports many times intentionally distorts the facts and true dimension of the report. Thus creating more dissention and crisis that leads to violence and death.
It seems that the Media today has no emotion, no compassion. Much of the news is choreographed for the sake of sensationalism and rating. Which comes down to dollars and financial gain. Society today is so hungry for money, power, instant gratification and glamour.
Is there a chance of going back to honor, honesty, integrity and fighting for truth and justice the old American way. Overcoming false showmanship and artificial presentation. Broadcasting truth and reality, thereby regaining public trust in the Media?

It is time to implement population transfer for all the Arabs who create violence, riot and attack Jews and anyone else. They could be relocated to the home and land of the million Jewish families, persecuted and expelled from Arab countries.
ReplyDeleteA Jewish person and any other person in Jerusalem and the rest of Greater Israel has the right to live and walk in his own country in peace and tranquility without fear or intimidation.
I suggest a massive demonstration by Israelis, demanding the government to restore peace without fear or intimidation at all costs. Israel must ignore world opinion and the Media, they will criticize and defame Israel no matter what.
Eventually the world at large respects a government that protects its people.
According to International Law All Jews have the right to live in any area of the original San Remo Treaty of 1920 and the Mandate for Palestine adoption in perpetuity by the League of Nations.
It is interesting to note that the World at large is not questioning the State of Jordan and its territory, which was taken from the allocation to Jewish land. Jordan a State that has never existed in history prior to WW1. But Israel that has existed on its land for over 3,500 years which included The land Jordan occupies, they are questioning Israel’s land. They do not mention that The Arabs ejected a million Jewish people and confiscated their homes and assets and that about 650,000 of them were settled in Israel’s LIBERATED TERRITORY.
Arabs are the occupiers, they have 21 Arab States that were granted to them after WW1 by the same powers that granted the State of Israel. The Arabs countries also expelled over a million Jewish people (who have lived there for at least 2,400 years) from their countries and confiscated their assets, businesses, homes and land (5 times the size of Israel) valued in the trillions of dollars.
There is no other term for Jewish villages and towns in Judea and Samaria and East Jerusalem than Liberated Jewish Territories.
To negate any claim of Arab ownership of the land, Read and study the Ottoman empire land title. It states that approximately 98% of the land was owned by the government, some of it was leased to the Arab population as sharecroppers, not owners.
The balance 2% was owned by Arab land barons and absentee owners who sold the land at premium prices to the Jews.
Here is the incredible testimony of The Mufti of Jerusalem on January 12, 1937 when he documents in testimony for the British Peel Commission that the Jews did not steal land from the Arab Palestinians but by the year of 1920, the time of the “Occupation” meaning the British Palestine Mandate, the Jewish people had already purchased 1,500,000 dunams of land in the Land of Israel which is 375,000 acres.
The Mufti also testified that the land was not bought by “forcibly acquired-compulsory acquisition of land”. That kind of ruling behavior was the action of the Ottoman rulers and not the Jews. Also the Mufti admitted that any evictions done were by absentee landlords who chose to sell “land over the heads of their tenants, who then were forcibly evicted”, and that the majority of these tenants were not Palestinians but Lebanese.
It is a common practice by the Muslims to obfuscate, distort, outright fabrication and misrepresent facts to their benefit, it is even permitted under their religion, in order to accomplish their goals.

Unknown to most of the world population, the origin of the "Palestinian" Arabs' claim to
ReplyDeletethe Israel-Palestine Land spans a period of a meager 30-50 years
At the beginning of the 20th century, there were practically no Arabs in the Holy Land. Historically, a "Palestinian" people never existed. The English name "Palestinian", to describe the
local Arab population, was invented AFTER the establishment of the State of
Israel in 1948. These Arabs do not even have a native name to describe
themselves in their own Arabic language. The Arabs who now claim to be natives
of the Holy Land have migrated to Palestine and invaded the land after 1917, from
neighboring Arab countries. There is only one possible solution to the
"Palestinians" desire for a homeland - let them return to where they
came from - to where they lived earlier for hundreds or thousands of years - to
their real homeland in their original Arab countries.
In the 20th century, there were practically no Muslim Arabs in the Holy Land. By contrast, the Jews, despite over 2200 years of persecution and forced conversions by various conquerors, have throughout
most of history been the majority population there. In Jerusalem Jews were
always the largest demographic group, except for periods when conquerors
specifically threw them out and prevented them from returning.
When General Allenby, the commander of the British military forces, conquered Palestine in 1917/1918, only a few thousand Muslim Arabs resided in the Holy Land. Most of the Arabs were Christians, and most of the Muslims in the area either came from Turkey under the Ottoman Empire, or were the descendants of Jews and Christians who were forcefully converted to Islam by the Muslim conquerors.
These Muslims were not of Arab origin. Most references to Arabs in Palestine before 1917 refer to the Christian Arabs, not to the Muslims.
Out of the over a million Jewish people expelled from Arab countries, over a hundred thousand died due to persecution and hardship by the Arabs which have confiscated all their resources and left them to die,

Number one. I have not deleted any comments. Number two. I will gladly respond to responsible and valid question and opinions. That said.
I am pro peace and coexistence.
If and when the Arabs want to live in peace and harmony, I have promoted and actually exercised myself what I state.
I was in charge of building a five star hotel in Jerusalem, across from the old city of Jerusalem.
Many of the workers were Arabs. Some did fine work and some plugged the new sewer lines with cement and caused damage to the construction.
It is a known fact that the Arabs persecuted and expelled over a million Jewish families from their Arab countries and confiscated all their assets and land 5-6 times the size of Israel. Many of those expelled Jews have lived in those Arab countries for over 2,400 years. Most expelled Jews from Arab countries settled in Greater Israel over half of Israel's populations are the Jews expelled from Arab countries and their descendants.
It is time to settle all the Arab refugees in their own Arab lands.

Israeli response to Media bias
ReplyDeleteEven those who aren't particularly sympathetic to Israel's Benjamin
Netanyahu, could get a good measure of satisfaction from this interview with
British Television during the retaliation against Hamas' shelling of Israel.
The interviewer asked him: "How come so many more Palestinians have been killed
in this conflict than Israelis?" (A nasty question if there ever was one!)
Netanyahu: "Are you sure that you want to start asking in that direction?"
Interviewer: (Falling into the trap) Why not?
Netanyahu: "Because in World War II more Germans were killed than British and
Americans combined, but there is no doubt in anyone's mind that the war was
caused by Germany's aggression.
And in response to the German blitz on London, the British wiped out the entire
city of Dresden, burning to death more German civilians than the number of
people killed in Hiroshima.
Moreover, I could remind you that in 1944, when the R.A.F. tried to bomb the
Gestapo Headquarters in Copenhagen, some of the bombs missed their target and
fell on a Danish children's hospital, killing 83 little children. Perhaps you
have another question?"
Apparently, Benjamin Netanyahu gave an interview and was asked about Israel's
occupation of Arab lands.
His response was, "It's our land". The reporter (CNN or the like) was stunned -
read below "It's our land..." It's important information since we don't get
fair and accurate reporting from the media and facts tend to get lost in the
jumble of daily events.
Who remembers today what Hitler promised in Europe 60 years ago? 25,000,000 people paid with their lives the price of naive belief in his promises.
ReplyDeleteWhere is South Vietnam today? Both the South Vietnamese and the Americans genuinely believed that they have attained peace in Vietnam. Unfortunately the country ceased to exist following their naive belief in a signed piece of paper.
As we examine the statements made by PLO officials since 1974, can anyone detect a change in tone or intentions following the signing of the Oslo Agreement?
Arafat himself declared that as a faithful student of the teachings of Mohammed, the founder of the Muslim religion, he intends to follow Mohammed's philosophy that a signed agreement is nothing but another tool in the struggle to delude the naive enemy.
So who will be the next one to pay the price of naive belief?
Nothing has changed in the past 20 years. It only got worse. The Arab terror is in most of the world.
