American Proposal for Jewish Homeland, January 21, 1919

(18 days after the signing of the Faisal Weizmann Agreement).

Outline of Tentative Report and Recommendations of the Intelligence Section of the American Delegation to the Peace Conference, in accordance with instructions, for the President and the Plenipotentiaries, January 21, 1919*

26. Palestine.

It is recommended: 1) That there be established a separate state of Palestine.

2) That this state be placed under Great Britain as a mandatory of the League of Nations.

3) That the Jews be invited to return to Palestine and settle there being assured by the Conference of an proper assistance in so doing that may be consistent with the protection of the personal (especially the religious) and the property rights of the non-Jewish population, and being further assured that it will be the policy of the League of Nations to recognize Palestine as a Jewish state as soon as it is a Jewish state in fact.

4) That the holy places and religious rights of all creeds in Palestine be placed under the protection of the League of Nations and it’s mandatory.

Discussion

1) It is recommended that there be established a separate state of Palestine.

The separation of the Palestinian area from Syria finds justification in the religious experience of mankind. The Jewish and Christian churches were born in Palestine, and Jerusalem was for long years, at different periods, the capital of the Jewish people. And while the relation of the Mohammedans to Palestine is not so intimate, from the beginning they have regarded Jerusalem as a holy place. Only by establishing Palestine as a separate state can justice be done to these great facts.

As drawn upon the map, the new state would control *Quoted in David Hunter Miller, My Diary at the Conference of Paris, Vol. iv, pp. 263-264.

Its own source of water power and irrigation, on Mount Hermon in the east to the Jordan; a feature of great importance since the success of the new state would depend upon the possibilities of agricultural development.

2) It is recommended that this state be placed under Great Britain as a mandatory of the League of Nations.

Palestine would obviously need wise and firm guidance. Its population is without political experience, is racially composite, and could easily become distracted by fanaticism and bitter religious differences.

The success of Great Britain in dealing with similar situations, her relation to Egypt, and her administrative achievements since General Allenby freed Palestine from the Turks; all indicate her as the logical mandatory.

3) It is recommended that the Jews be invited to return to Palestine and settle there, being assured by the Conference of all proper assistance in so doing that may be consistent with the protection of the personal (especially the religious) and the property rights of the non-Jewish population, and being further assured that it will be the policy of the League of Nations to recognize Palestine as a Jewish state as soon as it is a Jewish state in fact.

It is right that Palestine should become a Jewish state, if the Jews, being given the full opportunity, make it such. It was the cradle and home of their vital race, which has made large spiritual contributions to mankind, and is the only land in which they can hope to find a home of their own; they being in this last respect unique among significant peoples.

At present, however, the Jews form over a sixth of the total population of 700,000 in Palestine, and whether they are to form a majority, or even a plurality, of the population in the future state remains uncertain. Palestine, in short, is far from being a Jewish country now. England, as mandatory, can be relied on to give the Jews the privileged position they should have without sacrificing the rights of non-Jews.

4) It is recommended that the holy places and religious rights of all creeds in Palestine be placed under the protection of the League of Nations and it’s mandatory.

The basis for this recommendation is self-evident. 

To me and to most Traditional Jews, Greater Israel is the Biblical Israel, which included a good part of the territory east of the Jordan River - YJ Draiman

To me and to most Traditional Jews, Greater Israel is the Biblical Israel, which included a good part of the territory east of the Jordan River. 

To me and to most Traditional Jews, Greater Israel is the Biblical Israel, which included a good part of the territory east of the Jordan River. The original allocation of Palestine to the Jewish people included the territory east of the Jordan River and up-to the Railroad line which is about 120,000 sq. km.. The best defense is offense, no capitulation to Arab or worldwide pressure; we want what is ours no exceptions. See the minutes of the 1919 Paris conference, The 1920 San Remo Conference and the Faisal Weizmann Agreement of January 1919. The Arabs-Muslims received over 12 million sq. km. of which over half of it has no habitation, plus the British in violation of treaties and agreements gave away over 77% of allocated Jewish territory and created the new Arab-Palestinian state of Jordan and prohibiting Jews from living there and confiscating all their assets, and now the Biased U.N. (which has no authority to create countries, it can only recommend) and other nations who are deceived and or misinformed, want Israel to cede Judea and Samaria as a second Arab-Palestinian state (and plant a terrorist state in the heart of Israel), after the disastrous ceding of Gaza and the constant rocket attacks against Jewish communities in Israel). My response to that is it is not going to happen; this is Jewish land with a history going back over 3,800 years; Jews are the remaining indigenous people, with the Jewish holiest city Jerusalem and the Capital of Israel. Moreover Jerusalem is the home to two Jewish temples and the city of Hebron as the 2^nd holiest city for the Jews with the Cave of The Jewish Patriarchs (The atrocities and murder committed by the Arabs in Hebron against the Jews goes at least as far back as 1517). The Arabs also terrorized and expelled over a million Jewish families and confiscated all their assets including businesses, homes and about 120,000 sq. km. of Jewish owned land for over 2,200 years; valued in the trillions of dollars. Most of the expelled Jewish families and their children were resettled in Israel, and today comprise over half the population. Any Jew who wants to cede land to the Arabs has no place in Israel, especially in view of past results that such land for peace has brought more terror and violence and less safety and security for Israel and its people.

No Jew has the right or authority to cede Jewish territory and any such ceding of Jewish territory is not valid.

The Consequences of Appeasement & Concessions by Israel to the Arabs r1
The decisions made by the government of Israel since The six day war of 1967 leading up to the Gaza war with Hamas July 2014, as well as those of the first ten months or so after the turnover of Gaza in 2004 began, have dumbfounded historians ever since.
The Arab PA leader Mahmoud Abbas aka Abu Mazen makes a speech in the summer of 2015, in front of the UN and announces that the Oslo Accord is no longer applicable and that he and his Arab PA are not going to abide by its terms. Thereafter, Arab terror and violence, car ramming, knifing, stone throwing and every conceivable method of disturbance and destabilization is being applied.
The current Arab terror and violence facing the people of Israel, and the Arab claim to forbid Jews from Temple Mount, is a product of restraint to Arab violence and the concern what world reaction would be, while sacrificing Jewish lives, and diminishing the safety and security of Israel and its people.
The appeasement and concessions of Israel to the Arabs-Palestinians, in particular, has been so often held up as an example of how not to deal with a rising terrorism and violence that it has become a stereotype.
Had Israel stood its ground and responded to terrorism or any violence with utmost force and zero tolerance. Israel would not be facing today’s crisis.
As many have said – appeasement, concessions and lack of proper response to terrorism and violence is detrimental to Israel its people and the Jewish people worldwide.
Israel under International Law has the right to build and live in Judea and Samaria and any other territory formerly within the boundary of the Mandate for Palestine aka The Land of Israel in 1920. As decried by the San Remo agreement, confirmed by the treaty of Sevres and Lausanne; and the 1919 Faisal Weizmann Agreement, of which terms are survived in perpetuity. Any deviation or prohibition is outright violation of Agreements and blatant discrimination against Israel and the Jewish people. As past history has proven, concessions by Israel have only increased violence and terrorism.
Israel is an independent democratic sovereign country and it must operate and run the country without being dictated how to run the country, and without outside interference; just like the U.S. and other countries.
It is time for Israel to respond with extreme force to quell terrorism, violence and rioting – no holds barred, zero tolerance. Complete safety and security must return to Israel.
Israel should inform all Arab leaders in greater Israel that if terror and violence continues they will hold them responsible and they will bear the consequences.
What the Arabs could not win in loosing four major wars against Israel, they won in playing the deceptive delusional peace game. The Arabs all the while are building up arsenals that commit terror, violence and educating their children to hate, commit terror and violence and to destroy Israel. While enriching; their own personal pockets with the billions contributed by the world to help the impoverished Arab-Palestinian.
The G7 and other nations want Arab Oil and for that, they will do anything! The end result will be that ignoring reality will destroy them also.

The Muslims are taking over Europe and more.
What a scheme – and the gullible delusional world is buying it hook line and sinker.
When will the World at large learn that the Arab-Muslims cannot be trusted; they consider all non-believers as their enemies.

I hope the world takes of the blinders, before the Arab-Muslims take over Europe completely and than the United States and Canada, etc.
I wonder, how come in the nations of the world; No one is questioning the 21 Arab States established after WWI with over 12 million sq. km. – 5 million square miles of territory, including Jordan’s sovereignty, a country that never existed in history before WWI and which was established in violation of international law and treaties, on land originally allocated to the Jewish people in 1920 to reconstitute the Jewish homeland, which included all of Palestine’s aka The Land of Israel 120,000 sq. km. – 75,000 square miles, of which about 80% was illegally reallocated by the British to the new state of Arab Jordan.
If you question Israel’s rights, territory and sovereignty you might as well question the sovereignty and territory of the other 21 Arab States set up at the same time by the same Supreme Allied Powers that set up the Jewish State after WWI.

It is also a gross injustice ignoring that the Arab countries have terrorized and expelled over a million Jewish families with their children and confiscated all their assets including businesses, homes and over 120,000 sq. km. of Jewish owned land for over 2,200 years. Most of the expelled Jewish families and their children now are resettled in Israel and comprise over half the population.

Will the Vatican cede its territory to the Muslims? - YJ Draiman

Will the Vatican cede its territory to the Muslims?

The answer is absolutely not.
Why is the Vatican pressing Israel to surrender its Jewish holy sites which precedes the Christians sites to the Muslims?
Why the lack of outcry? The Arabs/Muslims after terrorizing and expelling millions of Jews from their countries and now there is very little Jews or no Jews at all. The Arabs/Muslims are persecuting and forcing all Christians to leave the Arab/Muslim countries.
It is amazing the muted outcry by the Christian community for such despicable behavior by the Arabs/Muslims against the millions upon millions of Christians. It seems the Vatican has no power or will to protest vehemently of such treatment. Why are they not taking a much more forceful action to stop such horrific treatment of Christians by the Muslims.
