Why "palestine" has no right to exist


There are a number of reasons why "palestine" should never come into existence. The historical reality is that Jewish rights supercede arab and muslim rights to the land. This is merely a brief summary of the facts.

In the first place there never historically had been a sovereign state of palestine, it was a British territory and prior to that part of the Ottoman empire. For that matter most of the arab states, artificial creations which were carved from out of the defeated Ottoman empire after WW1 by the colonial powers, actually have no right to exist. Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and and all the gulf states.

Another fact to mention is that an arab state already was carved out of 76% of mandatory Palestine, and that of course is Jordan, originally named transjordan given as a gift to Emir Abdullah by the British.

The so-called "occupied" territories of Gaza and Judea and Samaria, known as the West Bank never belonged to the so-called "palestinians", Israel won them in a war of self-defense from Egypt and Jordan respectively. Furthermore both countries relinquished their claims to the territories, so who's territory is Israel occupying? The answer is they are not occupied, they are rightfully part of Israel, as is the Golan Heights which Israel also won from Syria in the same war in self-defense. Yet even Israel itself and its supporters have bought into this false narrative of Israel being an occupier.

Another point to be made is that the creation of a palestinian state will not only fail to bring peace, but will result in the creation of another terrorist entity. Why on Earth does the west want to create this terrorist state when we are supposed to be fighting a war against islamic terrorism? As it is, the hamas run PA is imposing sharia law on the population, Christians are being threatened and persecuted, resulting in many of them fleeing. When Israel surrendered Gaza in the summer of '05, rather than trying to build a viable state, the palestinians looted and destroyed the greenhouses that were given to them by wealthy and generous Jewish Americans who had bought them from the former Jewish residents of Gaza. And let's not leave out the fact that anarchy and chaos is the order of the day as hamas and fatah factions shoot and kill each other (a good thing as far as Israel is concerned), as well as various clans, tribes and militas controlling the streets. These people have not shown that they are capable whatsoever of running a peaceful, viable state. So why should they get one? If anyone in the Middle East deserves its own state, it is the Kurds, who have proven they can run a peaceful, viable state. But the international community isn't clamoring to create one for them.

And finally, a state of palestine would create a terrorist base for Syria and Iran, which already supplies the various terrorist entities with money, arms missiles and so forth.

For all of these reasons and more, there is no logical reason that a palestinian state should be created. As long as the arab muslim world remains mired in a medieval barbaric culture of hatred and death, Israel and the rest of the free world must make no concessions to it whatsoever.

Jerusalem Arabs would rather live under Israeli control

..."People see the anarchy and instability in the Palestinian Authority areas and prefer to leave to a safer place," explained Ibrahim Barakat, a businessman from Beit Hanina, a large Arab neighborhood in northern Jerusalem. "Also, people are afraid of losing their status as permanent residents of Israel and that's why they are moving back into Jerusalem. After all, life inside Israel is much better than the West Bank."

..."Let's be honest, we have lost the battle for Jerusalem," admitted a Fatah legislator from the city. "The Palestinian Authority hasn't done anything to preserve the Arab and Islamic character of Jerusalem. The Arabs in Jerusalem have lost confidence in the Palestinian leadership and that's why most of them prefer to live under Israeli control. Frankly, when I see what's happening in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, I can understand why."
