THE PALESTINIANS WERE GIVEN A STATE AND THE LAND TWICE - IN 1948 AND 1999 - AND THEY REJECTED BOTH TWICE.
In 1948, the Arabs rejected the gift of a sovereign Palestinian state in favor of a war to destroy Israel, the only non-Arab presence in the Middle East. The new Israeli state occupied less than 1% of all the land in the Middle East, but that was too much for their Muslim neighbors. (Lebanon was also a non- Muslim state and the only other democracy in the Middle East until the Muslim Arabs and the PLO destroyed it.)
In 2000, Bill Clinton and Ehud Barak offered the Palestinians a state and 97% of the land they were demanding (Israel agreed to cede the other 3% from existing Israeli terrority). Arafat rejected the offer and launched the Second Intifada, a terrorist assault on Israeli civilians involving suicide attacks.
THE IDEA THAT ISRAEL HAS TAKEN LAND THAT BELONGED TO THE PALESTINIANS IS FALSE.
In 1948, the United Nations allotted land to Israel and to the Palestinians to form new states. This was land was not "Palestine," nor did it belong to any people called "Palestinians." It had been ruled by the Ottoman Turks for 400 years. It became a British mandate after Turkey's defeat in the First World War. Eighty percent of the so-called "Palestine Mandate" was allotted to the newly created state of Jordan which has a majority Palestinian population to this day, although it is ruled by Hashemite Arabs.
During the Arab war against Israel in 1948, Egypt and Jordan annexed the West Bank and Gaza which ceased to exist as independent entities for the next 17 years. During the entire 17 years, there were no complaints from the Palestinians over the occupation and erasure of their homeland by fellow Arabs.
The Arabs did not care because they considered themselves - Palestinians and all -- part of the greater Arab nation. The goal of the Palestinians has always been - in their own words -- the destruc- tion of the "Zionist entity," i.e., the State of Israel itself. That is why there has been no peace in the Middle East for more than fifty years.
The Arabs and the Palestinians have always referred to the creation of Israel as "the Nakhba" - the catastrophe. In other words the creation of a Jewish state in the Muslim Middle East is viewed by the Arabs and the Palestinians as a catastro- phe that must be undone. This is why there can be no peace without regime change in the Arab world. The Middle East War is not about a state or land. It is about the fifty-five year Arab war to eradicate the existence of a Jewish state in the Arab Muslim Middle East. There are two hundred million Arabs in the Middle East living on more than 99% of the land, and six million Jews living on less than 1%. No seri- ous person can imagine that the Jews are an impe- rial power threatening the Arabs.
THE GENOCIDAL WAR THAT IS NOW BEING WAGED AGAINST ISRAEL was once unthinkable in a post-Nazi world. Now it is gaining ground through the support of the interna- tional left. The left's mission is to de-legitimize Israel and make its Jews vulnerable to the Arab attack.
The left rationalizes the Palestinian terror campaign as a campaign of "desperate" people. In fact the ter- rorists have twice ruled out the hope of peace and are squandering billions in past and promised gifts from the West in order to pursue their pathological hatred of the Jews.
Palestinian despair is not despair over being thwarted in the desire for a state. It is despair at not being able to destroy "the Zionist entity," whose very existence is a thorn in the side of an Arab world that is xenophobic and filled with hate. It is despair at not being able to "liberate" Palestine "from the Jordan to the sea."
THE LEFT JUSTIFIES, OR EXCUSES, OR ENABLES ARAB JEW-HATRED, which is institutionalized in the Arab world. This hatred is expressed in the Arab states' mass production of anti-Semitic propaganda like the Protocols of the Elders of Zion; the Arabs' campaign to stigmatize Jews with the very symbols of their Nazi extermina- tors; and the Palestinians' training of small school children to aspire to be murderers whose victims are Jews. The left turns a blind eye to the virulent racism these acts reveal. Or worse, assists it.
According to the left, the hateful methods chosen by the Palestinians reveal nothing about their character and motives because these monstrous acts are mere- ly the last resorts of a people who are oppressed. But what can "last resort" mean in a context where the killers have already been offered the very state they claim to want and the land they claim to desire; and have rejected both; and have done so not once but twice?
NEVER IN THE COURSE OF HUMAN- HISTORY HAS ANY PEOPLE - oppressed or otherwise - killed their own children, telling them that if they murder other children along with themselves, they will go to heaven. Not even the Nazis attempted such a perversion of religion or of basic human instinct. But sixty-percent of Palestinians are on record as supporting these acts of genocide against Jews.
Would the left encourage anyone but Jews to surren- der to the demands of such an enemy? Can anyone think that the obstacle to co-existing with such evil really comes down to a few settlements or a disputed fence designed to keep the murderers at bay?
THE SETTLEMENT ISSUE IS A RED-HERRING.
There are more than a million Arabs settled in Israel who enjoy more rights than Arabs in the rest of the Middle East. On the other hand, no Jews are allowed to live in the Arab world itself, in settlements or other- wise. If they were, the Jewish settlements could be incorporated in a Palestinian state, in the same way that Arab settlements are incorporated in Israel. Under West Bank law it is death to sell land to a Jew. This Jew-hatred is hardly surprising, since the Arab leaders were allies of Hitler in the 1930s and 1940s, and Communism after that. The intolerance and racism of the Arab states are expressed in their acts and alle- giances, including their support for black slavery in the Arab and Muslim Sudan, where more than a million black Christians have been slaughtered by the Islamic regime in recent years.
AMERICA'S WAR AGAINST AL-QAEDA AND ISRAEL'S WAR AGAINST THE PALESTINE terrorist authority are one. With the creation of the Al- Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade, the Palestinian Authority has formally joined the jihad launched by Osama bin Laden. The goal is to liquidate Israel, and establish in its place a radical Muslim state at war with America and the infidel world.
Only a denial as deep and wide as that of the 1930s will refuse to see the holocaust coming. Yet, the American left and its international comrades are in full- throated support of Jew-haters in the Arab world and their efforts to de-legitimize Israel and to portray the Jews as the cause and not the victims of this terror.
