It is interesting to note, that Jordan which is a country that never existed in history before WWI and nobody is contesting its legitimacy or territorial sovereignty and control. The same powers that established 21 Arab States with over 12 million sq. km. with a wealth of oil reserves, plus Jordan after WWI, and re-established the State of Israel based on the Balfour Declaration and the Faisal Weizmann Agreement of January 1919 and the San Remo Treaty of 1920.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, Israel and its Jewish people have over 3,800 years of history.
Many nations and people are questioning Israel’s control of its liberated territory. No one is mentioning that the Arab countries had terrorized, persecuted and ejected/expelled about a million Jewish families and their children from their countries, confiscated their assets, businesses, homes and Real estate, about 750,00 Jewish families and their children of these terrorized and expelled Jewish people were resettled in Greater Israel. The Land the Arab countries confiscated from the Jewish people about 120,000 sq. km. or 46,332 sq. miles, which is over 6 times the size of Israel, and its monetary value today, is in the trillions of dollars.
Let the 21 Arab countries with over 12 million sq. km. resettle the Arab Palestinians in the land they confiscated from the Jews which is 6 times the size of Israel. Provide them with funds they confiscated from the million Jewish families they terrorized and expelled and let them build an economy. This will benefit both the Arab-Palestinians and the hosting countries. The other alternative is relocate the Arab-Palestinians to Jordan, (originally Jewish historical land allocated for the Jewish people) which is already over 80% Arab-Palestinians, and give them funds to relocate and build an economy. This will solve the Arab-Palestinians refugee problem once and for all. It will also reduce hostility and strife in the region.
If this is not discrimination against Israel, I do not know what is.
It seems like nobody cares about land violations in other countries in the world, but when it comes to Israel, everyone has a say. Israel’s rights in the terms of the treaty of San Remo of 1920 are in affect in perpetuity. It clearly states that the Jewish people are the only ones with political rights in the British Mandate of Palestine and that the Jewish people can live anywhere in the British Mandate.
If the U.S., Europe and other countries will stop meddling, and stop its criticism and involvement in the politics of Israel and the Arabs, than there will be a chance for peace.
We know the great powers are only interested in the OIL and nothing else; that is the bottom line.
A true and lasting peace in Israel will bring mammoth economic prosperity to The Israelis and The Arabs alike.
An approach to peace starts by teaching the Arab-Palestinian children and the people not to hate and condemn any acts of violence that hurts civilian populations and stop celebrating and rewarding the death and destruction of each other.

Israel is facing an Arab mentality that cannot be bridged
ReplyDeleteUnited Nations’ recommended (a non-binding resolution with no legal standing) a second division of The Mandate for Palestine (first division was giving over three quarters of Jewish territory for the new Arab Palestinian State of Jordan in 1922) of Palestine (I stress recommended, not mandated and it is not enforceable if the parties do not agree, therefore, it is null and void, since the Arabs rejected it) Resolution 181 that established a timetable and method for the recommended partitioning of Palestine aka The Land of Israel in two parts (the Jews accepted it and the Arabs emphatically refused to accept it). On the part of Jewish leadership and as the vote in late 1947 for partition loomed with continued violence between the nationalities, a final effort was made by Jewish Agency representatives to meet with the Arab League Secretary and forge a peaceful execution of reorganization. Their response from Secretary Azzam Pasha was: …
“The Arab world is not in a compromising mood”.
It’s likely… that your plan is rational and logical, but the fate of nations is not decided by rational logic. Nations never concede; they fight.
You won’t get anything by peaceful means or compromise.
(This Arab policy has not changed even after losing 4 wars. That is why all of Israel’s appeasements, concessions and compromises have not worked in achieving peace and will never work against such mentality.
The Arabs are promoting and teaching their children to hate and commit terror and violence, they honor terrorists and suicide bombers).
You can, perhaps, get something, but only by the force of your arms.
We shall try to defeat you, with the force of our Armies. I am not sure we’ll succeed, but we’ll try.
We were able to drive out the Crusaders with the help of the Jews, but on the other hand we lost Spain and Persia. It may be that we shall lose Palestine. But it’s too late to talk of peaceful solutions….
Thus, the Arabs lost the 1948 war and Israel thrived, against all odds. The Arabs lost three more wars against Israel; in the 1956 Sinai Campaign, the 1967 six Day War and the 1973 Yom Kippur War. After each war, Israel became stronger and more innovative. It was a choice between survival and extinction. All the while during these years Israel resettled the million Jewish families terrorized and expelled from Arab countries; whose all their assets were confiscated; businesses, home and over 120,000 sq, km. of Jewish owned land for over 2,600 years.
You would think; that the Arabs by now will have learned their lesson, and change direction, start pursuing co-existence, which will benefit both parties with an enormous economic development and a better standard of living, better schools, better healthcare, better housing and boost to moral.

Jewish Legal Rights and Title to the Land of Israel and Palestine Howard Grief
ReplyDeleteAccording to many lawyers, Professor Julius Stone, Howard Grief, Stephen M. Schwebel, Former ICC Judge including Prof. Dr. Cho'hatman with Talya Einhoren, and American lawyer Eugene Rostov, one of the drafters of the famous U.N. Resolution 242 which is the partition plan of November 29, 1947, does not change the situation either. Indeed, having been adopted by the U.N. General Assembly and not by the Security Council, it cannot be considered legally binding. Legally, it is only a recommendation that obtains legal validity in case of endorsement by the parties in question: the Jews and the Arabs. This plan was rejected by the Arab powers, thus, its status remains protocol. For other lawyers, the partition plan has transformed the status of the Judea and Samaria territories into one of dispute. On one hand, the Territories are not part of the state of Israel recreated in 1948. On the other hand they do not belong to Jordan which occupied those lands from 1948 to 1967. The War of 1967 liberated said Territories returning them to the rightful owners the Jewish state of Israel. *** see at end of article Judicial review
Israel it is time to re-establish complete Sovereignty over Judea and Samaria!
ReplyDeleteWhen is enough really enough? For the State of Israel and its elected officials, apparently, still not yet! Every delay is detrimental to Israel.
Israeli military occupation/liberation over Judea and Samaria aka “West Bank” is a 50-year-old mistake and must now end with Israel’s official annexation and implementation its sovereignty of the Jewish heartland, if annexation is needed at all, since returning to your own property does not need annexation; physical possession and control is enough. There should also be a withdrawal, not from any land but from the biased and prejudiced United Nations.
For the sake of Jewish identity, heritage, tradition and history – and of Israeli security and survivability, must be first and foremost – Israel should immediately assert sovereignty over Judea and Samaria (Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and west Menasheh), granting Arab/Palestinians the dignified options of permanent residency status or emigration with compensation.
Those Arabs who wish to remain should be allowed to do so and enjoy the rights of permanent residents while fulfilling the attendant responsibilities. Those who wish to leave should be paid fair market value for their property, plus a reasonable sum to cover moving expenses to Jordan (Palestine which is also Jewish land), or to the homes and 120,000 sq. km. of land (owned by the Jews for over 2,600 years) the Arab countries confiscated when they terrorized and expelled over a million Jewish families and their children, who today reside in Israel and comprise over half the population or elsewhere. Those who insist on violence should be dealt with accordingly with severe punishment and a death sentence to terrorists.
Israel should also withdraw immediately from the United Nations (whose full name seems more accurately to be UNAI, the United Nations Against Israel and is a parasitic criminal organization) and help found a robust league of democracies, a new body where human rights violators and criminals don’t preside over human rights councils and where blocs of Islamists, terrorists, murderers and communists don’t dictate to progressive republics. The UN might have arguably been the greatest endeavor man ever embarked upon; instead, it is a tiresome farce run by malevolent criminals and circus clowns. This is one club to which the Jew, and the Jewish State, should not belong and not wish to belong.
These are no extreme measures; rather, they are reasonable and moderate propositions representing nothing more than common sense. Such steps ought to have been taken long ago, and every day they delay its implementation, makes the situation worse.
ReplyDeleteWhatever Israel does or does not do, it will face global condemnation, like always. The world throughout history stood idle while Jews were persecuted, killed and demonized. Our sages taught us "If I am not for myself who is". Therefore, it only stands to reason that it should do what is necessary and proper for its fundamental needs as the Jewish national home and its people, and act both domestically and internationally with self-respect and determination on behalf of all its citizens and residents, Jewish or otherwise. Acting with half-heartedness and trepidation invites the world’s contempt like nothing else. Stop and overcome the Ghetto mentality, thus proceed to defend the Jewish people with no inhibition whatsoever and no restraint.
Israel, you are not the world’s punching bag; end the masochism. It’s enough already. NEVER AGAIN must be action, not just words. Stop bickering among yourselves. It is time to unify our people and face adversity as a unified Nation that will be our ultimate victory and the key to our survival.

International law is akin to an ongoing discussion about rights. And in this context, well should we challenge loudly those trying to dominate the conversation with strident "legal" condemnations of Israel.
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot to be said for the absolute legitimacy and lawfulness of the Jewish presence from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River (and it should of included the land east of the Jordan River up to the Railroad).
The Jewish People's right to its aboriginal homeland is cut from the same cloth as the right of the Aboriginal Peoples of Canada to their tribal lands or the right of the Greek People to their historic homeland in Greece.
In addition to such aboriginal rights to Eretz Israel – The Land of Israel; the Jewish People also has treaty rights stemming from a series of declarations, resolutions and treaties from 1917-1923 and The 1919 Faisal Weizmann Agreement. Furthermore, to be sure, there are also the self-determination rights of the Jewish People, which now apply to all those places where Jews are currently residing as the local population. And, beyond such rights of the Jewish People, the Shamir article is correct in referring to some additional rights that pertain to Israel as a sovereign State on its historical Land of Israel.
When it comes to the many legal disputes touching Israel, Mao's advice is the best -- "Let a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend!"
Additionally, possession is nine tenths of the law. Israel possesses the territory.
Moreover, the Arab countries terrorized and expelled over a million Jewish families and their children who now reside in Israel and comprise over half the population. The Arab countries terrorized and expelled the million Jewish families, confiscated all their assets; personal, businesses, homes including land of about 120,000 sq. km. which was owned by the Jews for over 2,500 years and is valued in the trillions of dollars.
After WWI the Arabs were allocated and received over 12 million sq. km. of territory with a wealth of oil reserves and the Jewish people were allocated the historical Land of Israel aka Palestine which is about 120,000 sq. km. on both sides of the Jordan River.
The British illegally took away over 77% of territory from the land allocated to the Jewish people as their reconstituted Jewish National Home.
Adding to this argument is the fact that the U.N. has no authority to make countries or take away territory from an existing country. The U.N. can only recommend (a non-binding resolution with no legal standing); and if not accepted by all parties it has no affect whatsoever. The U.N. has no right to declare or designate Jewish holy sites as anything else.
If you question the legitimacy and sovereignty of Israel, you must question the legitimacy and sovereignty of Jordan, a new Arab-Palestinian State that never existed before in history, and the other 21 Arab countries established by the Supreme Allied Powers after WWI, which also reconstituted the historical Land of Israel.

Jordan is The Arab-Palestine State r3
ReplyDeleteJordan is a country that never existed in history before WWI and nobody is contesting its legitimacy or territorial sovereignty and control. Jordan's territory was taken from land allocated to the Jewish people under international law and treaties and signed by the 1919 Faisal Weitzmann Agreement. The amount of land taken away from the Jewish people for Jordan is about 78% from the total original allocation under the San Remo treaty of 46,332 sq. miles or 120,000 sq. km. The Arabs received over 4.333 million sq. miles. The same powers that established 21 Arab States after WWI, which nobody is contesting either, had established the State of Israel in 1920 based on the 1917 Balfour Declaration. On the other hand, Israel and its Jewish people have over 3500 year history. Many Nations and people are questioning Israel's control of its liberated territory. No one is mentioning that the Arab countries had terrorized and ejected over a million Jewish families from their lands; where many of the Jews have lived for over 2,600 years, the Arabs confiscated all their assets, personal property, businesses, homes and over 120,000 sq. km. of Jewish owned Real Estate property which is valued in the trillions of dollars. (That includes property and land east of the Jordan River which is now the State of Jordan and no Jews are permitted to live in Jordan). Most of these expelled Jewish families and their children are resettled in Greater Israel they constitute today over half the population of Israel.
If this is not discrimination against Israel, I do not know what is.
It seems like nobody cares about land violations in other countries in the world, but when it comes to Israel, everyone has a say. Israel's rights in the treaty of San Remo of 1920 are in affect in perpetuity, it clearly states that the Jewish people are the only ones with political rights in the British Mandate of Palestine and that the Jewish people can live anywhere in the British Mandate for Palestine aka Israel. The UN has no authority to redraw and or recreate countries, it can only recommend (a non-binding resolution with no legal standing) and if the recommendation is not accepted by all parties, it has no binding affect and no validity or meaning whatsoever.
If the U.S., Europe and other countries will stop meddling, and stop its criticism and involvement in the politics of Israeland the Arabs, than there will be a chance for peace.
We know the great powers are only interested in the OIL and nothing else, that is the bottom line.
In fact sovereignty of the Jews over Palestine West of theJordan is supported five ways:
1. By the grant of the WWI Allies of exclusive political rights to Palestine in trust to World Jewry on April 25, 1920, intended to vest when the Jews in Palestine had attained a population majority. Prior to that time, England abandoned its trusteeship as the mandatory power, and de jure sovereignty devolved to the Jews who attained a majority not long afterwards in 1950 from the immigration of all the Jews in the Middle East who were dispossessed of their homes where they and their ancestors had lived for centuries.
2. In the opinion of world acclaimed International Lawyers Julius Stone and Steven Schwebel based on Jordan's conquest of Judea, Samaria and East Jerusalem in an aggressive war and their liberation by Israel in a defensive war.
3. Under US and UK treaty law based on the Anglo American Convention of 1924.
4. In the historic way sovereignty was gained, by asserting Israeli sovereignty in 1948 and defending its territory with its blood and treasure, establishing control and stability over its claimed territory.
5. Under Canon law by a gift from God, as shown in the Old Testament.

"No Jew is entitled to give up the right of establishing [i.e. settling] the Jewish Nation in all of the Land of Israel. No Jewish body has such power. Not even all the Jews alive today [i.e. the entire Jewish People] have the power to cede any part of the country or homeland whatsoever. This is a right vouchsafed or reserved for the Jewish Nation throughout all generations. This right cannot be lost or expropriated under any condition or circumstance. Even if at some particular time, there are those who declare that they are relinquishing this right, they have no power or competence to deprive coming generations of this right. The Jewish nation is neither bound nor governed by such a waiver or renunciation. Our right to the whole of this country is valid, in force and endures forever. And until the Final Redemption has come, we will not budge from this historic right."

Any building of housing in The Greater Israel is the right and duty of the Israeli government. There is no such a thing as occupied territory. It is the liberated land of Israel for over 4,000 years.
A two-state solution was implemented in 1922 in Jordan and in violation of international law and treaties. It was also confirmed in a 1922 resolution by the U.S. Congress.
In illegal compliance with the 1922 League of Nations Resolution, two-state solution was illegally implemented in 1922 when British administration of occupied Israel who wanted control of the oil reserves in the Middle East; allocated more 77% of Israel’s territory east of the Jordan River to the Palestinian Arabs and created Transjordan (now Jordan) where today over 80 percent of the population identify themselves as Palestinian Arabs. Every party, including UN, EU, US, etc., must respect international law and its implementation by the League of Nations, adopted and accepted by UN. Therefore, all so called "Palestinians" must be relocated there to Jordan, since Israel has signed a treaty with Jordan in 1994. Enough of stealing Israel’s land. Britain and Jordan must compensate Israel for stolen land and natural resources. Ref: article “Jewish legal rights to Judea and Samaria” By prominent International Law specialists.

“Jerusalem is the heart and soul of the Jewish people and the capital of Israel for eternity.”
ReplyDeleteFACT IS: Ever since the Jews entered the land of Israel in 1300 BCE and King David made Jerusalem the capital of Israel more than 3,000 years ago; then King Solomon built the Jewish Temple, the city has played a central role in Jewish existence. The Western Wall in the Old City is the object of Jewish veneration and the focus of Jewish prayer. Three times a day and in daily blessings, for thousands of years, Jews have prayed “To Jerusalem, thy city, shall we return with joy,” and have repeated the Psalmist’s oath: “If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.” Jerusalem “has known only two periods of true greatness, and these have been separated by 2,000 years. Greatness has only happened under Jewish rule,” a famous writer wrote in Jerusalem. “This is so because the Jews have loved her the most, and have remained constant in that love and devotion throughout the centuries of their dispersion. . . . It is the longest, deepest spiritual love affair in history.” “It is for three thousand years, Jerusalem has been the center of Jewish hope and longing. No other city has played such a dominant role in the history, culture, religion and consciousness of a people as has Jerusalem in the life of Jewry and Judaism. Throughout centuries of exile, Jerusalem remained alive in the hearts of Jews everywhere as the focal point of Jewish history, the symbol of ancient glory, spiritual fulfillment and modern renewal. The Jews for the past 2,000 years have celebrated holidays and observed fast days in memory of Jerusalem, the hope and aspiration to return to Jerusalem and rebuilt the Jewish Temple. At Jewish wedding ceremonies a dish is broken in memory of Jerusalem. This heart and soul of the Jewish people engenders the thought that if you want one simple word to symbolize all of Jewish history, that word would be ‘Jerusalem.’ ” “The Jewish people without Jerusalem; is like a human body without a soul”.

Arab-Muslims admit Temple Mount and Jerusalem is Jewish Land
ReplyDeleteThis is a small sample of the Islamic literature attesting to the Jewish connection to the Temple Mount. Innumerable other writings from other faiths attest to this fact, as well.

Over a million Jewish families and their children were terrorized and expelled from Arab countries and all their assets confiscated, including homes and over 120,000 sq. km. of Jewish owned land.
It is interesting to note, that Jordan is a country that never existed in history before WWI and nobody is contesting its legitimacy or territorial sovereignty and control. The same powers that established 21 Arab States on over 12 million sq. km. with a wealth of oil reserves, plus Jordan after WWI and re-established the State of Israel based on the Balfour Declaration and the San Remo Treaty of 1920 which was confirmed by the 1920 Treaty of Sevres and Lausanne, including the 1919 Faisal Weizmann Agreement.
On the other hand, Israel and its Jewish people have over 4,000 years of history in the Land of Israel aka Palestine.
Many nations and people are questioning Israel's control of its liberated territory. No one is mentioning that the Arab countries had terrorized and expelled over a million Jewish families and their children from their countries, confiscated all their assets, businesses, homes and Real estate, over 790,00 Jewish families and their children of these expelled Jewish people were resettled in Greater Israel and today comprise over half the population in Israel. The Land the Arab countries confiscated from the Jewish people is over 120,000 sq. km. or 46,333 sq. miles, which is over 6 times the size of Israel, and its value today is in the trillions of dollars.
Transfer the Arab-Palestinians to the confiscated Jewish owned land and homes in Arab countries is a good solution.
Let the 21 Arab countries resettle the Arab Palestinians in the land they confiscated from the Jews which is 6 times the size of Israel (120,000 sq. km.). Provide them with funds they confiscated from the million Jewish people they expelled and let them build an economy, This will benefit both the Arab-Palestinians and the hosting countries, The other alternative is relocate the Arab-Palestinians to Jordan, (originally land allocated for the Jewish people) which is already 80% Arab-Palestinians, and give them funds to relocate and build an economy.

United States is "occupied" territory - Not Jerusalem
ReplyDeleteWashington, D.C. is far more of an "occupied" capital than Jerusalem (Jerusalem has thousands of years of Jewish history and habitation). Europeans after creating new settlements, conquered an entire continent of North America, annihilated the natives, extracted its natural resources, kicked out the Mexicans and called it "America," claiming Washington as its capital. Over six hundred thousand people died in a war that prevented the South from seceding. As regards the rest of the world, Jerusalem is the oldest capital in the world, and it belongs to the Jewish people. The world does not recognize Jerusalem as the Jewish capital, because the world does not recognize the right of Jews to exist. Those liberal Jews in USA and Europe and elsewhere who pander to the non-Jews by endorsing views that deny or compromise the Jewish sovereignty over Greater Israel and hoping that they would be "acceptable" are deluding themselves. It did not help with Nazi Germany or in the past 2,500 years in the Diaspora and it will not help today.

ReplyDelete“The Jewish community should know that it is in Palestine as of right and not on the sufferance. That is the reason why it is necessary that the existence of a Jewish National Home in Palestine should be internationally guaranteed, and that it should be formally recognized to rest upon ancient historic connection.”
Palestine Facts states that: “The area of the Mandate was originally 118,000 square kilometers (about 46,332 square miles). In 1921, Britain without legal authority took the 91,000 square kilometers of the Palestine Mandate east of the Jordan River, and in violation of Agreements created Trans-Jordan (later the new Arab Palestinian country of Jordan) as a new Arab protectorate. Jews were expelled and barred by law from living or owning property east of the Jordan river, even though that land was over three-fourths of the original Mandate which was allocated to the Jewish homeland.”
ReplyDeleteThe Arab official line before the new “two state solution” became stated policy of Israel and the West, was that the people in Trans-Jordan cum Jordan were indivisible from those Arabs inside Israel proper, Judea and Samaria. In fact there are statements by leading Arabs buttressing the notion that indeed: Jordan is Arab-Palestine and Arab-Palestine is Jordan.
This is the royal decree and sentiments of two of the kings of Jordan.
Arab “Palestine and Jordan are one…” said King Abdullah in 1948.
“The truth is that Jordan is Palestine and Palestine is Jordan,” said King Hussein of Jordan, in 1981.
“Palestine is Jordan and Jordan is Palestine; there is only one land, with one history and one and the same fate,” Prince Hassan of the Jordanian National Assembly was quoted as saying on February 2, 1970.
Abdul Hamid Sharif, Prime Minister of Jordan declared, in 1980, “The Palestinians and Jordanians do not belong to different nationalities. They hold the same Jordanian passports, are Arabs and have the same Jordanian culture.”
What are we to conclude from this other than the historical perspective at the time, that being, they (the Arabs) saw themselves as being part of Palestine/Palestinian. Around 80% of the Jordanian population today, still see themselves as Palestinians. Even Yasser Arafat and his PLO thugs looked to Jordan as being a part of their homeland.
Lets face facts, the three state solution has become an intractable mess, there is no room for budging on the Israeli side, every square centimeter given to these Arabs as a permanent part of a second Palestinian state, spells trouble for the Jewish state as it’s used as a launching pad for further aggression against it. Just like Gaza.
The Palestinians (which used to mean Jews in Palestine before Israel became a state) are not able to form a state for themselves, because they refuse to accept the responsibility for actually running it. They have proven themselves to be more comfortable in accepting massive amounts of foreign aid, while they continually try to chip away at Israeli legitimacy on the world stage.
Time to end the pretending that these Arabs are really serious about wanting a state of their own, and accept the fact that it’s the massive amounts of foreign aid that really interests them most, as well as the hope of one day getting rid of the highly successful Jewish one.
about the Hashemites and Israel: Abdullah, the present king of Jordan’s grandfather, was son of Hussein, Sharif of Mecca, with much ambition to rule an Arab kingdom from Arabia to Syria, Lebanon and Palestine. After being thrown out of the Hejaz by the Saudis, and losing Mecca, Abdullah in violation of international treaties was given TransJordan by the British, and propped up by the Arab Legion (which was led by, financed by and armed by the British).
ReplyDeleteWhile Churchill thought that giving Abdullah his own Emirate, taking from Palestine aka The Land of Israel, the region east of the Jordan River, Abdullah thought his kingdom too small, and claimed Ma’an and Aqaba from the Saudis, and coveted western Palestine aka Judea and Samaria for his kingdom as well.
Emir Abdullah finally got his opportunity to claim a holy city of Jerusalem and part of western Palestine aka The Land of Israel when, in 1948, his Arab neighbors attacked the fledging State of Israel. The British-backed Arab Legion took over the west bank aka Judea and Samaria and Jerusalem (they evicted Jews from the Old City, destroyed 60 Synagogues, cemeteries and took over Jewish homes and land and from the Jewish communities and kibbutzim near Hebron, and even rebuilt and reinforced some of the wall to divide the city, preventing former Jewish Jerusalemites from returning to their homes.
So not only did the Hashemites take over a good part of Palestine aka The Land of Israel, which they ruled short of 20 years, keeping the Arab-Palestinians in miserable conditions (it was never the Israelis who kept the Arab-Palestinians in refugee camps), the Jordanians were the first to built a segregation wall and enforced an apartheid policy against Jews.
Because Jordan annexed Jerusalem and the West Bank aka Judea and Samaria, the members of the Arab League, the British and the UN never condemned Jordan for taking over the territory, or treating the Arab-Palestinians as refugees in their own land, it was only when Israel in a defensive war liberated the territory, that these parties condemned Israel for surviving the Arab forces in 1967, and releasing the territories from non-Arab-Palestinian annexation.
The world has to know that after WWI the Arabs/Muslims received over 12 million sq. mi. with a wealth of oil reserves and as far back as 1920, (and the Jewish National Home was to be reconstituted in all of Palestine aka The Land of Israel which is about 120,000 sq. km., Arabs put forth political ideas of a united Syria, Palestine and Jordan, all ruled by a single foreign regent from an alien (the Hashemites were from the Hejaz) clan, with no connection to the Arab-Palestinians, Jordanians or Syrians.
ReplyDeleteIn as much as the Arab-Palestinians complain that the British had no right to promise a homeland in Palestine aka The Land of Israel for the Jews, they had no right to ensconce the Hashemites in Iraq, Syria and TransJordan; but they did, and having done so, the British even prevented the locals, including Emir Abdullah, from consummating agreements with Jews to invest in, settle in and develop agricultural developments outside of the designated west Palestinian territory (again, more apartheid policies, not of the Jews or Israelis making).
The British left Emir Abdullah and his arid kingdom impoverished and reliant on the British Foreign Office, and British troops. They also built up sentiment in the area against the Zionists west of the Jordan River.
Had the British allowed the peoples living in the area to work out their issues amongst themselves, the map would have been very different, and we would be talking of a two state solution consisting of Palestine. Jordan and Israel, trading with each other, and managing more porous borders, allowing more freedom for crossing, for commerce and for development.
The Arab “Palestinians and the Arab “Jordanians”. These are one and the same people even though Jordan is ruled by a Hashemite Arab most of the Arabs living in Jordan are Arab “Palestinians” (around 85%) As you know both Arab “Palestinians” and “Jordanians” were a created people. When the British mandate criminally and illegally partitioned over 77% of allocated Land of Israel to create the Kingdom of Jordan…the Arab “Palestinians” who were fighting for their own land were meant to move to this new country but the Arab league had their own designs for the remainder of the Jewish lands and made sure that a large presence of the so call Arab “Palestinians” remained in Israel to continue their never ending quest to drive the Jews out of all Israel. The best solution to end the conflict is for the world to recognize that there is already an Arab-Palestine State east of the Jordan River and to allow them to move the Arab “Palestinians” out of all Eretz Yisrael.
**Local Arabs is the description of the Arabs in what was formerly known as the region of Palestine, which is the historical Land of Israel. In the alternative they may be called Arab-Palestinians
ReplyDeleteIt is an insult and it is promoting the perpetration of a fraud by calling the local Arabs nothing else than local Arabs. Prior to the mid sixties they were called Arabs all of a sudden they woke up one morning and decided in order to promote their fraud and deception to assume the title the Jews had since the Romans renamed the Land of Israel Palestine and Jerusalem Aelia Capitolina.
