It is "Liberated Territory" No Arab land is occupied by Israel

The various clashes between the Arab-Palestinians and the Israelis and the fighting in the Gaza Strip needs clarification for people to understand its genesis. I accept that the situation is complex. US President, Barack Obama has so far not been educated enough as to the true intentions of the Arabs is to destroy Israel.

However, I would like to bring out what seems to have been ignored, overlooked and yet it is extremely important for a balanced analysis of the Arab Israel Conflict.

Whereas on the surface it is the terrorist group, Hamas and other Arab terrorist groups, fighting the only Jewish State, Israel, it is in fact a continuation of the war that Arabs have waged against the Jews since Israel was reestablished as a sovereign nation in 1948.

The geographic area called “Palestine” was governed by the British after it took it from the Ottoman Empire - Turks at the end of the First World War. If you check the land registration records, you will find that over 90% of the land in Palestine was owned by the government. A good percentage of the balance was purchased by the Jewish people at premium prices, (See the testimony of the Mufti of Jerusalem in 1937 in front of the British Peel Commission).

The San Remo Treaty of 1920 was adopted by The League of Nations (precursor to the United Nations), according to the Balfour Declaration of 1917, mandated Britain to create a Jewish state in all of “Palestine” due to historical right.

Tragically, Britain did not fulfill its mandate and instead created a formerly nonexistent Arab-Palestinian state called “Transjordan” (now Jordan) on 77% of the Jewish soil in 1922. The British agenda was to retain control of the oil in the Middle East, for that they were willing to stab the Jews in the back.

Even when the United Nations decided on the Partition Plan on November, 29 1947, Britain voted against it and all the Arab states boycotted the vote.

Never mind that the Plan that gave the Jews only 23% of its original land was not legally binding since the UN Security Council did not ratify it and it violated the San Remo Treaty of 1920 and the Arabs rejected it.

In 1948 Britain abandoned Palestine without fulfilling its primary responsibility as trustee for the Jewish people. Israel declared independence on May 14, 1948 but was attacked by six Arab states the next day.

Ironically, Jordan was led, armed and trained by Britain. It invaded occupied and annexed Samaria and Judea (now called the “West Bank”) as well as East Jerusalem. Their forces slaughtered Jews in the Gush Etzion and other areas.

On the other hand, Egypt invaded and occupied Gaza. These are the so-called “occupied territories” after Israel recaptured and liberated them in 1967.

Incidentally, for 19 years when Egypt and Jordan were in charge of those territories, nobody cared about creating a Palestinian state. They were content on being part of Jordan.

Instead Jordan destroyed 58 synagogues in East Jerusalem and desecrated 38,000 of the 50,000 ancient and modern Jewish graves in the cemetery on the Mount of Olives. They used the stones for latrines and walkways.

In 1967 when Egypt and Syria announced on national media their intention to attack Israel, Israel had notified Jordan to stay out of the war, but Jordan joined and attacked Israel.

However, Israel defeated them all and took back and liberated Gaza and the “West Bank” (Judea and Samaria), including capturing the Golan Heights from Syria from where it was shelling Israeli towns and territory for many years.

Due to international pressure, Israel, under prime minister Ariel Sharon, about two years ago, uprooted Jewish settlements from the periphery of Gaza, This is where Hamas has been firing thousands of rockets at Israel.

Many weeks they fired at least 500 rockets. To those calling for peace talks, how can you talk peace with a person who does not recognize your existence and seeks to destroy you? They train and indoctrinate their children and the masses to hate, kill and destroy the Jews.

The goal of Arabs is simple: to wipe out the state of Israel from the map and create the twenty-second Arab state. If anyone doubts me, just listen to what Yasser Arafat, the late leader of the Palestine Liberation Organisation, told a reporter, Arianna Palazzi in 1970:

“The question of borders does not interest us...From the Arab standpoint, we must not talk about borders. Palestine is nothing but a drop in an enormous ocean.

Our nation is the Arabic nation that stretches from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea and beyond it....The PLO is fighting Israel in the name of Pan-Arabism. What you call ‘Jordan’ is nothing more than Palestine.” Need I say more?

The Arabs totally ignore their tragic expulsion of over a million Jewish people, which they confiscated their assets, businesses, homes and lands 5-6 the size of Israel (about 120,000 sq. km.) valued in the trillions of dollars.

Israel has resettled the million Jewish refugees from Arab countries. It is time for the Arab countries to resettle the Arab-Palestinian refugees in their Arab countries and not let these situation to fester for generations to come. The Arab-Palestinians deserve to resettle in the Arab countries from which they originally came from.
