In 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
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 especially at time of war,
conflict and a growing hostile world.
But Israel
As such, I
advocate that the citizens of Israel Israel Israel
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 Israel Israel Israel Israel Israel Israel
"Israel - United we stand, divided we fall. Let us not
split into factions which have got to destroy that unification upon which our
existence hangs".
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 Israel Israel
Without total unity of
all Israelis, Israel

The Arab-Palestinian Arabs are the occupiers of Jewish land. Tell the world at large that they are delusional in thinking that Arabs belong in Israel. There are 21 Arab countries where the Arab-Palestinians came from originally – There will never be an Arab/Arab-Palestinian State together or adjacent to Eretz Israel. There has never been such a nation as the Arab-Palestinian/Arab People. The Arab/Moslem Koran specifically states in The Qur’an 17:104 – states the land belongs to the Jewish people If the historic documents, comments written by eyewitnesses and declarations by the most authoritative Arab scholars are still not enough, let us quote the most important source for Muslim Arabs: “And thereafter we [Allah] said to the Children of Israel: ‘Dwell securely in the Promised Land. And when the last warning will come to pass, we will gather you together in a mingled crowd’.”. Any sincere Muslim must recognize the Land they call “Palestine” as the Jewish Homeland, according to the book considered by Muslims to be the most sacred word and Allah’s ultimate revelation. 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 liberated territory. It is the land of Israel for over 3,500 years. A continuous habitation by Jews, Sequence of historical events, agreements and a non-broken series of treaties and resolutions, as laid out by the San Remo Resolution and confirmed by the 1920 Treaty of Sevres and Lausanne, the League of Nations and the United Nations, gives the Jewish People title to the city of Jerusalem and the rest of Greater Israel. Let the Arab nation take the Arab-Palestinian Arabs and settle them in the Million plus Jewish homes that they evicted from their countries and allow the Jewish nation to live in peace.
ReplyDeleteA true peace in the Middle East will be an economic phenomenon that the world has never seen. But this can only be accomplished when there is a real peace. The Arabs must stop preaching and teaching hate. Any liberal Israeli that is delusional about Arab intention and wants to give any land in Israel to the Arabs should leave Israel; he does not belong in Israel.
Let the Arab-Palestinians settle in the homes and land the Arab countries confiscated from the million expelled Jewish families and their children from Arab countries the homes and land confiscated is 120,440 sq. km. which is 5-6 times the size of Israel.

As Professor Stephen Schwebel, former judge on the Hague's International Court of Justice notes:
ReplyDeleteThe Arab-Palestinian claim to sovereignty over east Jerusalem under the principle of self-determination of peoples cannot supersede the Jewish right to self-determination in Jerusalem. While Arabs constituted an ethnic majority only in the artificial entity of "East Jerusalem" created by Jordan's illegal division of the city, the armistice lines forming this artificial entity were never intended to determine the borders of, or political sovereignty over, the city. Moreover, Jews constituted the majority ethnic group in unified Jerusalem both in the century before Jordan's invasion, and since 1967 (the exception being during Jordan's illegal occupation).
Sir Elihu Lauterpacht, an international legal expert, scholar and director emeritus of the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law at the University of Cambridge, details the legal justification for Israel's sovereignty in east Jerusalem. According to the scholar, "Jordan's occupation of the Old City–and indeed of the whole of the area west of the Jordan river entirely lacked legal justification" and was simply a "de facto occupation protected by the Armistice Agreement." This occupation ended as a result of "legitimate measures" of self defense by Israel, thereby opening the way for Israel as "a lawful occupant" to fill a sovereignty vacuum left by Britain's withdrawal from the territory in 1948.
furthermore:
A state acting in lawful exercise of its right of self-defense may seize and occupy foreign territory as long as such seizure and occupation are necessary to its self-defense......Where the prior holder of territory had seized that territory unlawfully, the state which subsequently takes that territory in the lawful exercise of self-defense has, against that prior holder, better title.
As Schwebel explains, "Jordan's seizure [in 1948] and subsequent annexation of the West Bank and the old city of Jerusalem were unlawful," arising as they did from an aggressive act. Jordan therefore had no valid title to east Jerusalem. When Jordanian forces attacked Jerusalem in 1967, Israeli forces, acting in self defense, repelled Jordanian forces from territory Jordan was illegitimately occupying. Schwebel maintains that in comparison to Jordan, "Israeli title in old (east) Jerusalem is superior." And in comparison to the UN, which never asserted sovereignty over Jerusalem and allowed its recommendation of a corpus separatum to lapse and die, he sees Israel's claim to Jerusalem as similarly superior.
On January 3, 1919 Chaim Weitzman, who was the leader and representative of the Zionist Organization on behalf of the Jewish people, met with Emir Feisal, who represented the Arab Kingdom of Hedjaz. Included in an agreement that both
ReplyDeleteparties agreed upon was that the Jewish people should get the land west of the Jordan River and that the old city of Jerusalem would be under Jewish control.
The Paris Peace Conference began on January 18, 1919 and lasted about six months in which new borders were decided upon for parts of Europe and the Middle East and were given the force of international law. The conference was made up of the victorious Allied powers from World War I. The “Big Four” were made up of the Page United States, Great Britain, France, and Italy. Lord Balfour represented Britain. It was during the summer of 1919 that Arab opposition began to be voiced against the Feisal-Weitzman agreement. As a result that aspect of the conference stalled and was never agreed upon. Nevertheless, Balfour issued the following statement on August 11, 1919:
“The four great powers are committed to Zionism. And Zionism be it right or wrong, good or bad, is rooted in age long traditions, in present needs in future hopes of far profounder import than the desire and prejudices of the 700,000 Arabs who now inhabit that ancient land.”3 The Paris Peace Conference ended without a final solution reached concerning the status of Palestine, even though there was much discussion about the matter.
THE SAN REMO CONFERENCE
A meeting to deal specifically with the unfinished business of Palestine,
which was to be seen as an extension of the Paris Peace Conference was commenced on April 19, 1920 in San Remo, Italy (confirmed by the 1920 Treaty of Sevres). It was attended by the four Principal Allied Powers of World War I who were represented by the prime ministers of Britain (David Lloyd George), France (Alexander Millerand) and Italy (Francesco Nitti) and by Japan's Ambassador K. Matsui.
The San Remo Resolution adopted on April 25, 1920 incorporated the Balfour Declaration of 1917 issued by the British government. The San Remo resolution and Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations, which was adopted at the Paris Peace Conference on April 28, 1919, were the basic documents upon which the British Mandate for the stewardship of Palestine was constructed. It was at San Remo that the Balfour Declaration went from being just a statement of British foreign policy to international law.
The British Mandate was fully implemented upon approval by the Council of the League of Nations on September 22, 1922. However, when the parties left San Remo in April 1919 the future state of Israel was to be made up of what now
constitutes the Kingdom of Jordan, as well as all the land West of the Jordan River. After September 22, 1922 what is now the Kingdom of Jordan was taken away from Palestine and became another Arab nation. This was the beginning of the trend still operative today that Israel needs to give up more land in order to be promised peace. The reality is that every time Israel gives up land, she experiences even less peace.
Under International Law – An Arab-Palestinian State cannot be established in Israel
ReplyDeleteThe Exclusive Political Rights Granted To Jews only In 1920 At San Remo.
The San Remo Agreement of 1920 that established the British Mandate for Palestine. It granted the Jews exclusive collective political rights to Palestine, in trust with the British as trustee for the Jewish people, to vest when the Jews had attained a population majority.
The San Remo agreement of 1920 states that only the Jewish people can set-up its own government.
In violation of the of the agreement the British allocated over 77% of the Jewish land to Trans-Jordan. The British in violation of the Mandate restricted Jewish immigration prior and during WW2 which caused millions of Jews to die. The British and their Operation Embarrass also blew up Jewish Holocaust refugee ships
Now you want to allocate more Jewish land to the Arab-Palestinians, again in violation of the agreement. This would create two Arab countries and one Jewish country greatly reduced in its original land allocation. This is in violation of International law and the 1920 San Remo agreement confirmed by the 1920 Treaty of Sevres and Lausanne, which was adapted by the League of Nations and signed by all 51 member countries.
Under the law we must address the persecution and expulsion of over a million Jewish families and their children from Arab countries (who have lived there for over 2,400 years) and their assets, businesses, homes and land including 120,440 sq. km. of Real estate property that were confiscated by the Arabs and is valued in the trillions of dollars. In addition many of those Jews died during those expulsion and Arab pogroms and violence against its Jewish population.

ReplyDeleteHow many holidays do the Arabs-Muslims celebrate due to historical events in the land of ancient Israel and Jerusalem.
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 Jewish Temple in Jerusalem.

The Jewish heart and mind is eternally connected to Jerusalem and Israel for thousands of years
ReplyDelete“For over 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. 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.’ “
“Every Jew has a spark in his soul from the light of God above that illuminates his way during difficult times. And when it seems to him that he is lost and that there is no way out, the spark flares and lights his way. This is the little jug of oil that is revealed in time to save the Jew in times of despair and to light up his life in desperate times.”
“Let the world know that we were granted our right to exist by the God of our fathers at the glimmer of the dawn of human civilization over 3,500 years ago. The Jewish people have a historic, eternal and inalienable right to the whole of the land of our forefathers. And for that right, which has been sanctified in Jewish blood from generation to generation, we have paid a price unprecedented in the annals of nations.”
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.

Jews hold title to the Land of Greater Israel even if outnumbered a million to one.
The fact that more foreigners than Jews occupied the Land of Israel during certain periods of time does not diminish true ownership. If my house is invaded by a family ten times larger that mine does that obviate my true ownership? The Land of Israel was given in perpetuity to the Jews
Israel must be steadfast in protecting its rights and its people.
ReplyDeleteAnything less is a dereliction of duty.
Many nations and people are questioning Israel’s control of its liberated territory without substantiation.
No one is mentioning that the Arab countries had persecuted and expelled about a million Jewish families and their children from their countries, confiscated their assets, businesses, homes and Real estate property. Many of the Jews persecuted and expelled from Arab countries died while their forced departure from Arab countries, due to attacks by the Arabs, hardship, famine and starvation. About 650,00 - 700,000 Jewish families and their children of these expelled Jewish families and their children were resettled in Greater Israel. The Land the Arab countries confiscated from the Jewish people is: 120,440 sq. km. or 75,000 sq. miles, which is over 5-6 times the size of Israel, and its value today is in the trillions of dollars.
The Jewish people and their children during the over 2,500 years living in Arab countries have suffered Pogroms, Libel claims, beheadings, beatings, false imprisonment, slavery and extreme hardship as a second class citizens. They had their businesses and homes pillaged, their wives and daughters raped, sold them as slaves, their houses of worship pillaged and burned, forced conversion to Islam and many were beheaded.
Today over half of Israel's population are Jewish families expelled from Arab countries and their children and grandchildren. With natural growth the Jewish population expelled from Arab countries number over 7 million.
The Audacity of the Arab-Palestinians and the Arab countries in demanding territory from the Jewish people in Palestine after they persecuted and expelled over a million Jewish families and their children who have lived in Arab land for over 2,500 years and after they confiscated all their assets and Real estate property 5-6 times the size of Israel (120,440 sq. km. - 75,000 sq. mi.), valued in the trillions of dollars. There was also Jewish property and land (totaling about 100,000 sq. km.) in Jordan, Gaza and across the Golan Heights under Syria's control.
Now the Arab nations are demanding more land and more compensation.
The Arab countries have chased the million Jewish families and their children and now they want to chase them away again, from their own historical land.
Israel must respond with extreme force to any rocket attack. violent demonstration and terror. Israel's population must have peace and tranquility without intimidation by anyone.
The Jewish people have suffered enough in the Diaspora for the past 2,500 years. It is time for the Jewish people to live as free people in their own land without violence and terror.
It is time that we must consider that the only alternative is a population transfer of the Arab-Palestinians to the territories the Arab countries confiscated from the Jewish people and settle this dispute once and for all. Many Arab leaders had suggested these solutions over the years.

Historically, there was an exchange of populations in the Middle East and the number of displaced Jews (million plus and their children) exceeds the number of Arab-Palestinians refugees by 2 to 1. Most of the Jews were expelled as a result of an open policy of anti-Semitic incitement and even forced ethnic cleansing (their assets and Real estate property confiscated 120,440 sq. km. - 75,000 sq. mi. which is 5-6 times the size of Israel) and is valued in the trillions of dollars. However, unlike the Arab refugees, the Jews who fled are a forgotten case because of a combination of international cynicism and domestic Israeli suppression of the subject. The Palestinians are the only group of refugees out of the more than one hundred million who were displaced after World War II who have a special UN agency that, according to its mandate, cannot but perpetuate their tragedy. An open debate about the forced exodus of the million plus Jews from Arab countries is critical for countering the Arab-Palestinian demand for the "right of return" and will require a more objective scrutiny of the myths about the origins of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
ReplyDeleteEquality works both ways. When you support violence and terrorism against Israelis and Jews, it is not surprising that you are treated with suspicion. The Arab population have to earn the trust. Killing indiscriminately Israeli civilians including babies in their cribs, does not promote trust. The Arabs teaching their children and the masses to commit violence and terror. Celebrating terrorist accomplishments and glorifying them is a major obstacle to any co-existence.
Arab violence against the Jews started in about 627 - about 1500 years ago, when Muhammed beheaded over 700 Jews in Medina, took their wives as slaves and raped their daughters. The violence against the Jews in Arab countries continues to date with no abatement.
