Israel amongst many hostile Nations
When a poison strikes the human body, the only way to address it, is to remove it and destroy it completely. That is the way the terrorist organizations should be treated.
The Qur'an 17:104 - states the land belongs to the Jewish people
There has never been a civilization or a nation referred to as "Palestine" and the very notion of a "Palestinian Arab nation" having ancient attachments to the Holy Land going back to time immemorial is one of the biggest hoaxes ever perpetrated upon the world. There is not, nor has there ever been, a distinct "Palestinian" culture or language. Further, there has never been a Palestinian state governed by Arab Palestinians in history, nor was there ever a serious Arab-Palestinian national movement until 1964... three years BEFORE the Arabs of "Palestine" lost the West Bank [Judea and Samaria] and Gaza as a result of the 1967 Six-Day War (which the Arabs started). Even the so-called leader of the "Palestinian" people, Yasser Arafat, was EGYPTIAN. In short, the so-called Arab "Palestinians" are a manufactured people...a people with no history and no authenticity... whose sole purpose for existence is to destroy the Jewish State.
Israel first became a nation in 1312 B.C.E., two thousand years before the rise of Islam. Seven hundred and twenty-six years later in 586 B.C.E. these first ancient Jews in the Land of Israel [Judea] were overrun and Israel's First Jewish Temple (on Jerusalem's Old City Temple Mount) was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar, king of ancient Babylon. Many of the Jews were killed or expelled; however many were allowed to remain. These Jews along with their progeny and other Jews who would resettle over the next 500 years, rebuilt the Nation of Israel and also a Second Temple in Jerusalem upon the Temple Mount. Thus the claim that Jews suddenly appeared fifty years ago right after the Holocaust and drove out the Arabs is preposterous to say the very least.
The Land Belongs to Israel
No nation, other than the ancient nation of Israel and later again in 1948 with the rebirth of the 2nd Nation of Israel, has ever ruled as a sovereign national entity on this land. A mighty Jewish empire extended over this entire area before the Arabs, and their Islam, were even born. The Jewish People have one of the most legitimate birth certificates of any nations in the world. Every time there is an archaeological dig in Israel, it supports the fact that the Jewish People have had a presence there for well over 3,000 years. The coins, the pottery, the cities, the ancient texts... all support this claim. Yes, other peoples have passed through, but there is no mistaking the fact that Jews have always had a continual presence in that land for over 3,000 years. This predates any claims that other peoples in the regions may have. The ancient Philistines are extinct. Many other ancient peoples are extinct. They do not have the unbroken line to this date that the Jews have. And if you want to talk religion, fine. God gave the Land of Israel to the Jewish People. Period.

In 70 C.E. (nearly 2000 years ago), it was the Roman Empire's turn to march through ancient Israel and destroy the second Jewish Temple, slaughtering or driving out much of its Jewish population. Many Jews left on their own because conditions for life were made unbearable in many respects... yet thousands upon thousands stayed for centuries in order to once again rebuild a Jewish Nation in this Holy Land.
Over 3250 years, various Peoples, Religions and Empires marched through Jerusalem, Israel's ancient capital. The region was successively ruled by the Hebrews [Jews], Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Maccabeans, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Egyptians, the Crusaders, Mamelukes, the Turks (who indifferently governed the backward, neglected territory from the 16th century until the British drove them out during World War I) and then once again by the Jews in 1948. None bothered, nor were they in the least bit inclined, to build a Nation of their own... except the Jews.
It must be noted that in 636 C.E., when the Arabs marauders came to the land and uprooted even more of its Jews, they did not form any Arab nation there... and certainly not a "Palestinian" nation. They were simply "Arabs" who, as did others before them, moved into a geo-political area called "Palestine." It was not the Jews who "usurped" the land from the Arabs. It was the Arabs in 636 C.E. who overran and stole it from the Jews.
"PALESTINE?"The term "Palestine" came from the name that the conquering Roman Empire gave the ancient Land of Israel in an attempt to obliterate and de-legitimize the Jewish presence in the Holy Land. The name "Palestine" was invented in the year 135 C.E. Before it was known as Judea, which was the southern kingdom of ancient Israel. The Roman Procurator in charge of the Judean-Israel territories was so angry at the Jews for revolting that he called for his historians and asked them who were the worst enemies of the Jews in their past history. The scribes said, "the Philistines." Thus, the Procurator declared that Land of Israel would from then forward be called "Philistia" [further changed into "Palaistina"] to dishonor the Jews and obliterate their history. Hence the name "Palestine."
Very often one hears the revisionists and propagandists finding ancient historical links between the "Philistines" ("Invaders" in Hebrew) and the Arab "Palestinians." There is no truth to this claim. The Philistines were one of a number of Sea Peoples who reached the eastern Mediterranean region approximately 1250-1100 B.C.E. They were actually an amalgamation of various ethnic groups, primarily of Aegean and south-east European origin [Greece, Crete and Western Turkey] and they died out over 2500 years ago. Those Philistines were not Arab... and neither was Goliath. The Arabs of "Palestine" are just that... Arabs. And these Arabs of "Palestine" have about as much historical roots to the ancient Philistines as Yasser Arafat has to the Eskimos.
The ancient, indigenous inhabitants of Palestine are long perished from the earth. Canaanites, Phoencians, and then Philistines, all were dominated by the Israelites before 1060 B.C.E. Most of these cultural identities dissolved completely by the neo-Babylonian age, or, the 6th century B.C.E. Arabs weren't even in Palestine until the mid-7th century C.E., over a thousand years later, after Palestines 1,300-year Jewish history. Arabs later living in Palestine never developed themselves or the land, but remained nomadic and quasi-primitive
Even the word "Palestine" has no meaning in Arabic - every word in Arabic has some meaning deriving from the Koran, but the word "Palestine" does not. The name "Palestine" was associated with Jews. In the years leading up to the rebirth of Israel in 1948, those who spoke of "Palestinians" were nearly always referring to the region's Jewish residents. For example, the "Palestine Post" [forerunner of today's Jerusalem Post] newspaper and the Palestine Symphony Orchestra were all-Jewish. The "Palestine Brigade Regiment" was composed exclusively of Jewish volunteers in the British World War II Army. In fact, Arab leaders rejected the notion of a unique "Palestinian Arab" identity, insisting that Palestine was merely a part of "Greater Syria."
In Conclusion: There was no "Arab Palestinian" history before the Arabs manufactured one shortly after 1948, and then especially after the June 1967 Arab-Israeli War. In an interview with the Dutch newspaper "Trau" (March 31, 1977), PLO executive committee member Zahir Muhsein said, "The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct 'Palestinian people' to oppose Zionism. It is also been a "conceptual" war for ownership of the term "Palestinian" which has been transferred over to the Arabs whereas, before 1967, "Palestine" has always been synonymous with Eretz Israel and the Land of Israel.
Archeological sites to this very day continue to yield artifacts with Hebrew writing, not some fictitious "Palestinian" or Arabic text. The so-called "Palestinian" Arabs were simply then, as they are now, Arabs no different culturally, historically or ethnically from other Arabs living in any of the 24 Arab countries from which they emigrated. The suggestion that the "Palestinians" are some sub-group of Arabs with their own unique identity is pure fiction. Great propaganda... but still pure fiction. And had not the Arabs continued to brainwash generation upon generation into believing this historical lie about some ancient "Arab Palestinian" ties to the Holy Land, most could have gotten themselves a real life by now with much less bloodshed and suffering for everyone concerned.
I know it is a dream and fantasy, If this story can be conveyed to the masses with a message and an inspiration to leave the distorted past behind. Go forward with an open mind, leave your prejudices and pursue peace, tranquility and life with an economic future. Life without hope is no life at all. Life is too precious to live in animosity towards others.
Many souls who survived the Holocaust against all odds had the courage and determination to go beyond hate and revenge. They started life anew when they lost a whole generation and family.
I know it is not easy, you carry the scar all your life.
I have a mother in law who was put in the gas chamber by the Nazis 3 times and was able to live through it and survive while losing her parents, grandparents and other siblings.

Six Day War
ReplyDeleteThe Six Day War was a war between Israel and her neighboring countries - Egypt, Syria and Jordan - which was conducted from June 5th until June 10th 1967. The tensions between Israel and the Arab countries intensified from the mid 1960's due to multiple terrorist attacks and infiltrations of Palestinian terrorists from Syria, Jordan, the Gaza Strip, and the Sinai Peninsula into Israeli territory. These actions were motivated by the support of the Arab countries. The tensions were increased by Syrian shelling of Israeli settlements in the Hulah Valley, as well as Israeli and Syrian planning of projects for the diversion of water sources.
On April 6th 1967, an aerial incident between Israel and Syria took place, in which 6 Syrian MiGs were intercepted. Syria filed a complaint to its ally Egypt for not fulfilling its military agreement signed in November 1966 and coming to Syria's assistance. Egypt notified that it will not tolerate an Israeli action against Syria and its army's state of alert was raised. Vast amounts of tanks and infantry units were stationed along the Egyptian-Israeli border. Their Soviet allies encouraged these actions, while statements made by Israeli leaders in May were interpreted by the Russians and Arabs as threats made towards Syria. Egypt demanded that the United Nations' Emergency Force abandon its stations across the border, from the Straits of Tiran, and from all Egyptian territories. The United Nations met their demands.
Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser blockaded the Straits of Tiran on May 21st and 22nd to all shipping from and to Eilat; the area was open to Israeli ships under UN supervision since 1957, and Israel repeatedly stated that such a blockade will be considered as casus belli (justification for acts of war). The United States and several other countries declared that the Straits of Tiran are an international passage and they must remain clear for a safe passage of all ships. No actual steps were taken on these remarks, and Egypt proclaimed that any attempt to break their blockade on the Straits would be considered an act of war.
Nasser, in an intentional provocation, asked Israel to open in war, declared that Egypt is strong enough to be victorious, and threatened to destroy Israel. Other Arab leaders made similar aggressive speeches as well and military pacts were signed between Egypt and Jordan (on May 30th) and between Egypt and Iraq (on June 4th). The supply of Soviet weaponry to Arab states was also increased.
ReplyDeleteIn the early morning of June 5th 1967, the war broke out. Israel made a preemptive strike on the Egyptian Air Force: The Air Force attacked all military airports in Egypt and the Sinai Peninsula, destroying hundreds of aircrafts and neutralizing the Egyptian Air Force. The same day, Jordanian forces began bombing and attacking from the air from across the borders agreed in the Ceasefire Agreements (of 1949). Israel warned King Hussein to refrain from fighting but he relented and the Jordanian military conquered the UN Headquarters (formerly the residence of the British High Commissioner). The Israeli Air Force also acted against the Jordanian Air Force. Throughout these hours, Syria continued to shell Israeli settlements; Syrian airports were attacked and most of the Syrian aircrafts were destroyed. On the first day of fighting, Israel obtained absolute aerial control; however, this information remained almost completely unknown to the public at the time.
Simultaneously, IDF forces progressed within the Sinai Peninsula towards Rafah and el-Arish in the north, Abu Ageila and Bir Gafgafa in the center, and el-Qusseima in the south. After running into difficulties in the Abu Ageila region, the area was conquered by a combined force of the Paratroopers Brigade and the infantry corps, armored forces and a combat engineering force, assisted by the Air Force. Bitter fighting took place on the outskirts of Gaza on the night between June 5th and 6th. The Israeli Armored Forces stormed forward, accompanied by aerial support. The Egyptian withdrawal turned on the eve of June 6th to an actual defeat: Sharm el- Sheikh, from which the Egyptian army operated the blockade on the Straits of Tiran, was conquered from the sea.
In addition to the attacks on the Jordanian Air Forces, Israel sent military reinforcement to Jerusalem, retrieving on June 5th the control over the UN Headquarters and succeeding to connect with Mount Scopus at the north of the city, which was an Israeli enclave within Jordan since 1949. Specific orders were given in order to minimize the physical damage that might be caused to the holy places in the Old City. Ultimately, after 36 hours of combat, Israel succeeded to take control over the roads leading to the Old City and East Jerusalem. The conquest of the Old City was completed on June 7th, and IDF forces were able to reach the Western Wall and raise the Israeli flag on its premises. Heavy fighting took place in Jenin, Northern Samaria and Qalqilyah and its surroundings, from which long-range artillery was fired at Tel Aviv.
By the end of the third day of fighting, Israeli forces completed the conquest of the Sinai Peninsula up to the Suez Canal and most of the West Bank. At this time, following several days of bargaining, the UN's Security Council called for a ceasefire, to which Israel was the first to agree. On June 8th, Lebanon had officially joined the war, but did not take an active part other than sending in a couple of planes. Syria continued its shelling on Israeli settlements and made a failed attempt to conquer Kibbutz Dan. Following the Syrian dismissal of a ceasefire, the IDF concentrated forces to storm Syrian posts en-route the Golan Heights. A wide strip of the Golan Heights, including Mount Hermona and the city of Quneitra, was conquered after 20 hours of fierce fighting near Kibbutz Dan. A ceasefire on the Syrian border was established on June 10th.
The war ended with an evident Israeli victory. Over 4,000 Arab aircrafts were destroyed, 60 intercepted while airborne; over 500 tanks were destroyed or looted; some 70% of the heavy machinery used by Egypt, Syria and Jordan – at a total worth of over one billion dollars, were put out of use. More than 15,000 Egyptians were killed during the war and 5,600 were taken as prisoners. Jordan, according to King Hussein, had 6,000 casualties (other sources give various smaller numbers). Syria suffered some 1,000 losses. Israel had more than 700 casualties and 2,500 injured.
ReplyDeleteIsrael was tripled in its size after the war and gained sovereignty over an Arab population of approximately one million citizens (in addition to 300,000 Israeli Arabs living in Israel at the time). The public was in great spirits and had a sense of power, caused by the swift victory and the capturing of the Old City. This was in great contrast to the anxiety and confusion felt during the weeks prior to the war
