A real peace will be an
economic boost to all the people in the region YJ Draiman
Has Mahmoud Abbas (The
financer of the Munich Massacre and the Achille Lauro cruise ship Hijacking and
murder; with a price on his head and a conviction with life in prison) and any
other Arab-Palestinian organization or his people ever lived up to their
promises or agreements? The answer is absolute no.
What has changed, after all the appeasements and concessions, why shouldIsrael trust them, if anything the situation has
become more hostile and violence has increased. The Arab-Palestinians teach
their children hate, violence and terror, they announce without any reservation
and declare that they want to destroy Israel . (as stated in their charters).
A real and true peace will be an economic boost to all the people in the region. It will create an economy that the rest of the world would envy.

In recent years Israel has discovered vast amounts of Natural Gas
and Oil, the blackmail by the Arab Oil producing nations is diminished, if not
totally eliminated. With New production and new reserves, plus advancement in
renewable energy and other sources of energy.
The over 50% drop
in oil prices in the last 6 months of 2014 has obliterated the power of
"Oil as a political weapon". This changes drastically the political
formula in the Middle
East . In
addition; The United States becoming again the number one oil producing country
in the world; The advancement in technology has promulgated that many other
countries are discovering and developing new sources of Natural Gas and Oil, it
will enhance the Energy independence of those countries and boost economic
development throughout the world.
If the
Arab-Palestinians continue with terror and violence, It is time to look for
other avenues to bring safety and security to Israel 's citizens.
Without beating
around the bush and frankly it is time to seriously consider a population
transfer. Under historical data, archeological excavations, possession and
International law and treaties, Greater Israel belongs to the Jewish people.
The
Arab-Palestinians, who have been kept in limbo by their fellow Arab countries
must be afforded the opportunity to be transferred to the homes and lands (5-6
times the size of Israel 120,440 sq. mi. which was confiscated from the over a
million persecuted Jewish families expelled from Arab countries it is valued in
the trillions of dollars). They can also relocate the Arab-Palestinians to Jordan . The British in violation of the San Remo
Treaty of 1920 assigned close to 80% of the land allocated to the Jewish people
and gave it to the Arabs. It is called Jordan today with over 75% of the inhabitants are
Arab Palestinians. Many Arab-Palestinians who live in Judea and Samaria have Jordanian citizenship.
It is time to resettle
the Arab-Palestinians refugees in the Arab countries; Israel has resettled most of the million Jewish
families expelled by the Arab countries in Greater Israel; The Arab countries
have to do the same and resettle the Arab refugees in their vast lands.

John Kerry is the offspring
of apostate Jews
To be sure Obama does not
regard the Kotel as Jewish.
So Mr. Kerry denies that the
Pre-67 borders belong to the British, or to Jordan ? It cant belong to the P.L.O because they didn’t
exist. There were a few thousand Arabs displaced in 1948. But the West Bank was the only front that we lost in 1948. Thousands of Jews were killed
or driven out of Jerusalem and the West Bank and many
were killed by King Hussein and claimed by Jordan . Was he ever asked to build a Palestinian State ? No. Because it was always a fiction that was
designed for the secular Israeli consumer and to give the Holocaust deniers one
final shot.

American Jewish Freak show voted in Obama and this piece of drek. Now Israel is going to eat the proverbial poo.

Native Americans have a
better claim than the Arabs that sweep into Palestine dotted with Jewish history and facts on the ground.
There were no European places of worship or cemeteries in the new world.
As for Kerry the clown and his vile antiIsrael pressure without acknowledgment of the terrorist
goings on among the Arabs is an unacceptable double standard. Where are our Obama
loving Jewish leaders and socialist minded Jews now, are they still unable to
recognize an Arab loving American president who gives to Israel with one hand
and works to destroy them with everything else he has.

Instead of telling Kerry what
he should say, it is far more interesting to find out WHY he is saying all that
offensive, “unrealistic” stuff, not at all what a referee on the most
contentious international issue should utter.
Beyond the immediate Israel PA issues, not far at all geo-politically, we find a seriously disturbed (!!)Islamic society, composed right now from far worse conflicting elements.US involvement in the ME means also Egypt , Iraq , Syria and the larger radical Islamist terrorist upsurge. As
a prime Islamic target not just on its strict soil, US needs to appease those
spirits waged against US which still connect the “Palestine cause” to their overall “struggle”. This struggle
concerns , of course Israel , but it targets even to a greater extent US. So, as a
loyal American, Kerry is only doing his job, i.e. redirecting the Islamic
terrorist fire strictly against its best friend, Israel .
Israel is not the ONLY entity negotiating here, US has its
own ME problems to be sorted out at exactly the same table.

The numbers were closer to

It is disgraceful, reckless,

anti-Israel Obama Administration.
Singularly loyal to the
Democratic Party (as it once was), these groups refuse to see that their Party
has been hijacked. Taken over by Far Leftists, George Soros puppets,
mushrooming Arab numbers, bedrock American traditions, including supporting Israel , are no more. (Recall the Dem. Convention booing and
refusing support to Israel ).
Obama and almost every
appointee of his is anti-Israel. Brenner, Hagel, Kerry, Powers, Indyk, each is
overtly/covertly critical of Israel , employing double-standards, or is outright pro-Arab.
Jewish “leadership” should
ignore the false hype of Obama’s media Groupies. Doting on him, reporters
consistently applaud Obama- never questioning his false claims. As far as Israel is concerned, however, Obama’s record is abysmal.
Kerry is pushing Obama’s
anti-Israel agenda. If Jewish groups would band together and PUSH BACK –
supporting Israel ’s rights and exposing the hypocrisy of its critics, Israel would be in a MUCH stronger position.
Maybe then, 104 murderers
(Abdallah Barghouti – 67 Life sentences, Abbas Al-Sayid – 35 Life sentences,
Ibrahim Hamad – 54 Life sentences) and their ilk would not be offered up to
Obama, just to get Abbas to the Table to talk about what else Israel can be forced to do.

By the same token, Native
Americans can claim that European whites that settled in North America illegally seized Indian lands and built illegal
“settlements” (cities, towns, ranches, farms, etc.) on their territory and must
abandon these areas and return them to the legitimate tribal owners. What say
you to that, Mr. Kerry?

So true. And America should release a few thousand murderers as well, to
proportionately equal the 104 prisoners it has asked Israel to release.

From an Era of
Refugee Millions, Only Palestinians Remain
The 1940s and ’50s saw huge forced moves of population
groups—people who put down roots and started over.
By
ANDREW ROBERTS
On Tuesday, as Palestinians in the West Bank
and Gaza celebrated the murder in a Jerusalem synagogue of five Israelis, the Spanish Parliament
happened to be passing a nonbinding motion urging its government to “encourage
the recognition of Palestine as a state.” Last month, Sweden became the first European Union member to officially
recognize Palestine as a state, and parliamentarians in England and France have similar legislation in the works.
As anti-Israel sentiment grows in Europe —and
in the U.S. , where the “Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions” movement
has taken hold on many college campuses—calls for an immediate resolution to
the Palestinian “refugee” problem abound. To hear some in the anti-Israel
movement today, one might imagine that the Palestinian exodus was a unique
occurrence in modern history, that no other people have ever been moved off
what they considered to be their ancestral lands.

Israeli soldiers during clashes near the West Bank city of Ramallah in November. AFP/GETTY IMAGES
The truth is that such movements—including that of the
Palestinians—happened so often in the mid-1940s to early 1950s that it is
surprising that the plural of the word exodus—exodi?—is not used in reference
to this period.
For all sorts of reasons, ethnic groups were either forcibly
or voluntarily moved during that troubled period, and usually in far worse
circumstances and for far longer distances than the Palestinians. There were no
fewer than 20 different groups—including the Sikhs, Muslims and Hindus of the
Punjab, the Crimean Tatars, the Japanese and Korean Kuril and Sakhalin
Islanders, the Soviet Chechens, Ingush and Balkars—many in the tens or even
hundreds of thousands, if not millions, who were displaced and taken to
different regions.
Yet all of these refugee groups, except one, chose to try
to make the best of their new environments. Most have succeeded, and some, such
as the refugees who reached America in that decade, have done so triumphantly. The sole
exception has been the Palestinians, who made the choice to embrace fanatical
irredentism and launch two intifadas—and perhaps now a third—resulting in the
deaths of thousands of Palestinians and Israelis.
After Germany lost World War II in 1945, more than three
million of its people were forced to leave their homes in the Sudetenland,
Silesia and regions east of the Oder and Neisse rivers—lands that their
forefathers had tilled for centuries. These refugees embarked on a 300-mile
journey westward under conditions of extreme deprivation and danger with only
what they could carry in suitcases.
One can’t be expected to sympathize too much with people
who had enthusiastically supported Adolph Hitler, but among them were children
who were not responsible for the sins of their fathers. Having reached the new
borders of East and West Germany , as delineated by the victorious Allies, they settled
and made no irredentist claims to Poland and Czechoslovakia , the countries they had left. Today those once penniless
refugee children include some of the most successful people in Germany , a country they helped make a prosperous, model
democracy.
Across the Soviet
Union in the late 1940s, the
paranoiac evil of Joseph Stalin ensured that entire peoples, sometimes
numbering in the millions, were moved from one side of Eastern Europe and the U.S.S.R. to the other. Some, like the Cossacks who had fought
for Hitler, were massacred wholesale when they fell into the hands of Stalin or
his satellite henchmen, such as Yugoslavia ’s Marshal Josip Tito.
Millions of other people, as part of Communist schemes
unrelated to the war, were “relocated” to Siberia ,
the Crimea or Central
Asia , often many hundreds of
miles from their ancestral lands and under the harshest conditions short of
genocide. In all, forced internal migrations of the Tatars, Volga Germans,
Ingush, Balkars, Karachays, Meskheta Turks and other ethnic groupings numbering
some six million led to the deaths, according to the Soviets’ own figures, of
up to 1.5 million, including 46% of the Crimean Tatars. Yet there are no
appreciable irredentist movements among these former Soviet citizens today.
They made the best of a new reality rather than carrying on a decades-long and
ultimately hopeless struggle to return.
Similarly, the late 1940s saw massive population
transfers in the Punjab and Northwest Frontier territories of India when the British brought their empire there to a close
in 1947. Some 16 million people crossed between the new states of Pakistan and India , leading to the deaths of between one-half and
three-quarters of a million people in the communal massacres that ensued.
Yet while there are severe border disputes still between India and Pakistan over Kashmir , practically no one from the Muslim, Hindu and Sikh
communities is today agitating for restitution of the lands their forefathers
farmed or owned in Punjab , the Northwest Frontier or elsewhere. There is distrust,
but modern Indians and Pakistanis have moved on. The same is true of other
parts of the world, such as Burma and South Africa , which also saw ethnic upheaval in the late-1940s.
Sadly, it has been the Arab states’ cynical and
self-interested policy for nearly seven decades to keep the Palestinians
boiling with indignation. No one can doubt that for those who have continued to
live in camps intended for long-ago refugees, the founding of the state of Israel in 1948, when thousands of Palestinians fled or were
expelled, was indeed a catastrophe. But many other peoples have learned to deal
with equal or worse by moving onward and upward; calling them refugees several
generations after their forebears’ upheaval would be unthinkable. The lessons
of history are rarely enunciated more clearly.
CONFRONTING
AMERICAN PRESSURE
In a 1983 article, “Washington’s ‘Arab mistake,’” Shmuel Katz writes, “The ignorance displayed by today’s world statesmen about elementary, often crucial, facts – particularly in foreign affairs – has lost the power to astonish. TheMiddle East , about which they all
pontificate so readily, is a specially fertile field for their fatuities. Most
important here inevitably are the pronouncements of American spokesmen,
directly involved as they are in its problems.”
Katz was referring to statements by Former Secretaries of State Alexander Haig and George Shultz and Former President Jimmy Carter. But he would have said the same thing of Vice President Joe Biden, who stated at a press conference with the PA President, that:
“Our administration is fully committed to the Palestinian people and to achieving a Palestinian state that is independent, viable, and contiguous. … Everyone should know by now, that there is no viable alternative to a two-state solution, which must be an integral part of any comprehensive peace plan.”
This outrageous plan, which, if put into effect, would mean stripping Israel of its historic heartland in Judea and Samaria, robbing it of its strategic depth and returning it to the 1949 Armistice lines – what even the noted pacifist Abba Eban described as “Auschwitz borders.” On top of which, no one seems bothered by the fact that a “contiguous”Palestinian State means cutting the
Jewish State in two.
To add insult to injury, Biden condemned an announcement byIsrael ’s interior ministry
that same day to build 1,600 new homes in “East Jerusalem .” “The substance and
timing of the announcement, particularly with the launching of proximity talks,
is precisely the kind of step that undermines the trust we need right now,”
Biden said. To show his disapproval, he arrived 90 minutes late to a dinner,
snubbing Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Shmuel would say, as he had many times before, that this should finally put to rest the dangerous notion thatAmerica is, or ever was, an
“honest broker.” What emerges from an examination of American-Israel relations
is that regardless of whether the U.S. administration is friendly toward Israel
(George W. Bush), or hostile (Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama), each one
accepts the same false premise that a two-state solution – which returns Israel
to the dangerously vulnerable borders of 1949 – is the answer.
What Shmuel wrote in a 1983 article “Lessons for Reagan” is equally applicable now:
“American policy hitherto has taken no account of the fact that for 19 years (1948 to 1967) Judea and Samaria were in the hands of the Arabs, illegally annexed and ruled by Jordan.
“Yet nobody (not even the PLO) then even hinted that here was the home of a “Palestinian people,” thirsting for self-determination. Nor do the American policy-makers remember that precisely the control of the territory byJordan made attractive the
idea of war on tiny Israel .
“The absence of Jews fromJudea and Samaria after 1948 did not
bring peace. It brought war – in 1967.
“For an American president to persist in the demand that Jews refrain from making their homes in Judea and Samaria because it is not helpful to the peace process is not only to perpetuate one of the great hoaxes of the century, and an attack on the national rights of the Jewish people in its homeland; it is an insult to the intelligence.”
As destructive as American pressure is, worse isIsrael ’s repeated collapse in
the face of such pressure, which merely invites more. Take the reaction of
Israeli Interior Minister Eli Yishai to Biden’s criticism of the planned
construction:
“We had no intention, no desire, to offend or taunt an important man like the vice president during his visit,” Yishai told Israel Radio. “I am very sorry for the embarrassment. We need to remember that approvals are done according to law even if the timing was wrong. … Next time we need to take timing into account.”
And Netanyahu, after being kept waiting 90 minutes by a sulking Vice President, reportedly apologized for the timing of the announcement, too, which he said also took him off guard, and assured Biden that he had no intention of sabotaging his visit, nor did he have any plans to begin construction soon.
That this is how sovereign leaders of a supposedly nationalist government should react after being told that they can’t build homes in their own capital beggars belief. Whatever the reason, whetherIsrael ’s leaders don’t feel
they can stand up to America , or fear losing
economic assistance – that the “tap might be turned off” – the truth is that
their weak-kneed response betrays the real, broad American support they have.
As poll after poll demonstrates – most recently one byGallup on Feb. 26 showing 63%
of Americans favor Israel over Palestinian Arabs
in the conflict – America is squarely in Israel ’s camp. It’s American
policy crafted by the State Department that favors the Arabs. The State
Department is not America . It can be faced, and
with the help of the American people, defeated.
Only the day before Biden’s visit, Netanyahu addressed a summit of Christian Zionists inJerusalem . He told them to stay
the course in their defense of Israel . No doubt, his words
boosted their morale. But wouldn’t it boost it still more to lead by example?
Biden’s visit was a missed opportunity in a long line of missed opportunities to put the lie to the scam that is the two-state solution. Netanyahu should have explained that the two-state solution is nothing more than the two-phase solution forIsrael ’s destruction. Indeed,
in his conversation with Vice President Biden, the prime minister could have
quoted nearly verbatim from Shmuel Katz:
“If the United States wishes to avoid further embarrassing debacles it must make up its mind first of all that at this moment there is no “solution” to the Arab-Israeli dispute; and that if it wishes to help bring about a solution in the course of time it must insist that the Arab nation give up its purpose of annihilating the Jewish state; that it content itself with its own 22 component states, and that the Arabs of Palestine content themselves with their one state in eastern Palestine, called Jordan.”
“Holding out such a prospect is purely more closely in keeping with the American ethic than its present promotion of Arab doctrines and policies which, it so happens, aim at the destruction of the State of Israel and the attempted dispersal or genocide of its people.”
In a 1983 article, “Washington’s ‘Arab mistake,’” Shmuel Katz writes, “The ignorance displayed by today’s world statesmen about elementary, often crucial, facts – particularly in foreign affairs – has lost the power to astonish. The
Katz was referring to statements by Former Secretaries of State Alexander Haig and George Shultz and Former President Jimmy Carter. But he would have said the same thing of Vice President Joe Biden, who stated at a press conference with the PA President, that:
“Our administration is fully committed to the Palestinian people and to achieving a Palestinian state that is independent, viable, and contiguous. … Everyone should know by now, that there is no viable alternative to a two-state solution, which must be an integral part of any comprehensive peace plan.”
This outrageous plan, which, if put into effect, would mean stripping Israel of its historic heartland in Judea and Samaria, robbing it of its strategic depth and returning it to the 1949 Armistice lines – what even the noted pacifist Abba Eban described as “Auschwitz borders.” On top of which, no one seems bothered by the fact that a “contiguous”
To add insult to injury, Biden condemned an announcement by
Shmuel would say, as he had many times before, that this should finally put to rest the dangerous notion that
What Shmuel wrote in a 1983 article “Lessons for Reagan” is equally applicable now:
“American policy hitherto has taken no account of the fact that for 19 years (1948 to 1967) Judea and Samaria were in the hands of the Arabs, illegally annexed and ruled by Jordan.
“Yet nobody (not even the PLO) then even hinted that here was the home of a “Palestinian people,” thirsting for self-determination. Nor do the American policy-makers remember that precisely the control of the territory by
“The absence of Jews from
“For an American president to persist in the demand that Jews refrain from making their homes in Judea and Samaria because it is not helpful to the peace process is not only to perpetuate one of the great hoaxes of the century, and an attack on the national rights of the Jewish people in its homeland; it is an insult to the intelligence.”
As destructive as American pressure is, worse is
“We had no intention, no desire, to offend or taunt an important man like the vice president during his visit,” Yishai told Israel Radio. “I am very sorry for the embarrassment. We need to remember that approvals are done according to law even if the timing was wrong. … Next time we need to take timing into account.”
And Netanyahu, after being kept waiting 90 minutes by a sulking Vice President, reportedly apologized for the timing of the announcement, too, which he said also took him off guard, and assured Biden that he had no intention of sabotaging his visit, nor did he have any plans to begin construction soon.
That this is how sovereign leaders of a supposedly nationalist government should react after being told that they can’t build homes in their own capital beggars belief. Whatever the reason, whether

Before Islam, Medina Was
Originally A Jewish City in Saudi Arabia
Today, we hear a lot of talk about how Jerusalem should be split, – one half surrendered to Muslims, while the other half remains a mixed Muslim/Jewish city in Israel. If this is the appropriate diplomatic way of turning back the clock, and ensuring peace between Muslims and Jews, then why not try out this solution with Medina first–a city that was originally Jewish?

The last occupier
of Palestine was the Ottoman Empire . The last official country with an
independent government in Palestine was the Jews. All others were just
conquerors with no official independent government. After many years the Jewish
people retained their land back and established its own government.
The Arabs who claim title to the lands in Palestine-Israel are thieves who have possessed land that was never theirs. They never purchased any of the land in any legal manor. TheOttoman Empire owned over 90% of the land in Palestine and the Arabs were sharecroppers not
owners.

Its not 50 years of "belligerent occupation", which is
the only relevant occupation for imposing obligations on the occupant. It is 50
years following liberation as the Jewish People have owned the national rights
to Palestine since 1920, first only a beneficial right, then later having legal
dominion over it, partly in 1948 and part in 1967.
A short synopsis of Jewish History and the Arab Israeli
conflict
Jews have the absolute right for their homeland. Zionism the
movement itself was created during the second half the 1800″²s. Jews purchased
a substantial amount of territories in Palestine-Israel (see testimony of the
Mufti of Jerusalem in front of the British Peel Commission) from local sheikhs
and lords and built settlements there. This dates as early as 1860, that is 79
years before WWII.
During all of this time Jews kept migrating back to their historic homeland which comprised of two kingdoms: theKingdom
of Israel and the Kingdom
of Judah . They were driven out of
the Kingdom of Israel
by the Assyrians in 720, B.C.E. The Babylonians in 586, B.C.E., drove the Jews
out of the Kingdom of Judah ,
including Jerusalem . Then followed
the Persians in 536, and the Hellenistic Syrian Seleucid Rulers in 332 BCE.
Jews – The Maccabees re-conquered Israel
in 166 BCE.
Romans conqueredIsrael
in 63 C.E., and in 70 A.D. destroyed the Jewish second Temple .
Which was followed by these conquests:
Byzantines in 313; Persian in 614; Arabs Muslims 636 CE; Crusaders 1099; and the Mamluks in 1291.
Then came theOttoman Empire in 1517. In 1564 the
Ottoman Empire encouraged and stimulated Jewish immigration which added over
10,000 new Jewish returnees to Palestine-Israel (The Ottoman land records for
Palestine showed that the government owned over 90% of the land) and the
British Rule 1918-1948.
During the time of the Roman rule ofIsrael ,
the Jews in the kingdom called Judea revolted against
the Roman rule. The Romans crushed the rebellion, exiled many Jews out of the
country, seized many others and turned them into slaves deporting them to Rome
and other places. Not only that, they changed the name of the land from
Provincia Judea to Palestine to
humiliate the Jews.
For 600 years or so, Arab Muslims imperialism spread throughout theMiddle
East from Arabia . Among other conquests,
the Arabs conquered Judea-Palestine, killing many of the local Jewish
population, and converting many into Islam. The story of how the Arabs got to Palestine
is the story of conquest, imperialism and occupation.
During the 19th and 20th century, when Arabs had little to no interest in theland
of Israel , Jews purchased massive
amounts of land and resettled there. After WWI the Allied Powers, the
international community and the League of Nations under
the San Remo Treaty of 1920 which was confirmed by the Treaty of Sevres and Lausanne adopted by the League of Nations assigned the British “The Mandate for Palestine ”
as trustee over the land so that a Jewish state would be created in that land.
The British had their own agenda in mind (Oil).
The original Mandate territory included what is todayIsrael ;
Gaza , Parts of Sinai, West Bank (Judea
and Samaria ), Jordan
and the Golan Heights . The British had their own agenda
and in violation of International Treaties divided the country up. They gave to
the Arabs the allocated land which had been Mandated to the Jewish people in
violation of the San Remo Treaty of 1920 which was confirmed by the Treaty of
Sevres and Lausanne : everything
East of the Jordan river . This land which was
intentionally given to the Arabs constituted 80% of the land allocated to the
Jewish people. The British gave the land to the Hashemite
Kingdom for the Arab population in
order to create a new State: Trans-Jordan. The British also traded the Golan
Heights to the French who ruled Syria
for oil in Iraq .
Thus, after already separating the country into one Arab state Trans-Jordan which is 78% of Jewish land and which is present day Jordan, they intended to break up the remaining Jewish
land West of the Jordan River, present day Israel and wrongfully give it to the
Arabs.
During all of this time Jews kept migrating back to their historic homeland which comprised of two kingdoms: the
Romans conquered

Byzantines in 313; Persian in 614; Arabs Muslims 636 CE; Crusaders 1099; and the Mamluks in 1291.

The original Mandate territory included what is today
In the meanwhile a conflict emerged over territorial
boundaries between the Jewish inhabitants and the Arabs. The U.N. proposed a
deal to split the remaining land of the British Mandate for Palestine
(yes, split yet again) into an Arab state and a Jewish state. The Jewish
leadership accepted the proposal, provided the Arabs also accept it. The Arabs
declined and rejected it outright. It is a known fact in the International community, that the UN. can only recommend and not supercede or modify international treaties. The UN recommendation vis-a-vis the partition of Palestine west of the Jordan river in 1947 was rejected by the Arabs, therefore the recommendation for partition not been executed by the Jews and the Arabs has no standing. Thus the 1948 war began. A war in which the Arabs with armies from
Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon and local militias of Arabs, and help on a
smaller scale from the armies of Algeria and Libya attacked the new Jewish entity.
The Arab coalition had the weapons and a large army and were confident on
victory, to the extent, that they asked the local Arab inhabitants to vacate
the land while they decimated the Jews. But fate had other plans. Through
divine intervention, the Arabs lost that war. Many Arab civilians fled their
homes because their Arab leadership told them to. Some were panicked by rumors.
There were only a few incidents with civilians. (It is an important fact that
during the war of 1948, Jewish settlements that were seized by Arab forces were
razed to the ground – Kfar Etzion for example and the remaining population
there killed).
The true and detailed facts and history is much more voluminous and complex. The problemIsrael
faces is that it is not as quick to explain the 4000+ years of Jewish history
in Israel as the indigenous people to
counter the Arab lies and propaganda. Lies are easier to spread. However, upon
close examination of the historical facts, the lies are exposed as baseless
propaganda and should be dismissed as such. The Arabs are the occupiers in Greater Israel, just like the various empires who occupied Greater Israel since the destructions of the Jewish Temples by the Babylonians and the Romans who Named Israel Palestine and Jerusalem was named Aelia Capitolina.
It should be noted only a small segment of history is being presented here. I did not enumerate anything about how Arabs used terror and violence since the beginning of the conflict. I did not mention that before Arab nationalism and Muslim radicalism took over, the small Arab community was glad that the Jews were coming back to their ancestral homeland, providing an economic boost and jobs to the region, (even king Faisal representing the Arabs was delighted - he signed an *agreement with Chaim Weitzman representing the Jews in 1919.) I did not enumerate or discuss in detail the Arab-Palestinian refugees without telling how and why they became refugees.
I might also mention that the Arab countries expelled over a million Jewish people, confiscated their assets, businesses, homes and land (120,440 sq. km. which is five times the size ofIsrael
and valued in the trillions of dollars). About 670,000 of those Jewish refugees
from Arab countries were resettled in Greater Israel. It is time for the Arab
countries who persecuted and expelled the million Jewish families to resettle
the Arab-Palestinian refugees in their own countries, and or Jordan ,
and put an end to this conflict and end the misery and displacement of the Arab
Palestinians. This will bring about peace and coexistence which the people so
rightfully desire and deserve. It will bring economic prosperity and an
increase in the standard of living for all the people.

Faisal-Weizmann Agreement Saudi Jews Agreement
Signed on January 3rd, 1919, the Faisal-Weizmann Agreement was an agreement between Jews and Arabs who both wished to set up their own nations in the Middle East.
Introduction
During the peace conference following World War I, the Emir Feisal, son of Hussein, Sherif of Mecca, signed an agreement with Dr Chaim Weizmann (who became later the first president of Israel) supporting the rights of the Jews in Palestine. However, in a handwritten note, the agreement was made contingent by Feisal upon fulfillment by the British of their promises to Feisal. Namely, the "Arab State" that would be formed, would include Syria. The British however, were bound by the promises they had made to France in the 1916: Sykes-Picot Agreement. Syria became a French mandate and Feisal was made king of Iraq instead. Subsequently, a spokesman for Feisal announced that "His majesty does not remember having written anything of that kind with his knowledge.
Subsequently, Weizmann averred that the Arab demands having been met, the agreement should be valid. He stated as much to the UNSCOP panel in Jerusalem:Testimony of Chaim Weizmann at UNSCOP. UNSCOP did not accept his view.
Agreement Between Emir Feisal ibn Hussein and Dr. Weizmann | 3 Jan 1919
His Royal Highness the Emir FEISAL, representing and acting on behalf of the Arab Kingdom of Hedjaz, and Dr. CHAIM WEIZMANN, representing and acting on behalf of the Zionist Organization. mindful of the racial kinship and ancient bonds existing between the Arabs and the Jewish people, and realising that the surest means of working out the consummation of their national aspirations is through the closest possible collaboration in the development of the Arab State and Palestine, and being desirous further of confirming the good understanding which exists between them, have agreed upon the following Articles:

ARTICLE III

ARTICLE IV
All necessary measures shall be taken to encourage and stimulate immigration of Jews into Palestine on a large scale, and as quickly as possible to settle Jewish immigrants upon the land through closer settlement and intensive cultivation of the soil.

ARTICLE VIII
The parties hereto agree to act in complete accord and harmony on all matters embraced herein before the Peace congress.
ARTICLE IX

Jan. 3, 1919
Responding to arguments that million Jews expelled from Arab countries has no bearing on the Arabs who left Palestine or Arabs displaced from Jewish land and or formerly Ottoman government land has nothing to do with each other. The law of equity in not a one way street, it works both ways. The Arab nations that expelled the million Jewish families (who lived in the Arab countries for over 2500 years and owned 120,440 sq. km. of land, homes, businesses and personal assets valued in the trillions of dollars) are the ones supporting the Arab-Palestinians in demanding law of return and compensation. Those Arab countries are financing the Arab-Palestinians in their quest to eject the Jews a second time from their own ancestral homeland. The best and only solution is a population transfer.
