This Palestinian issue is a complex one

The Palestinian Arabs of the West Bank want to create a second Palestinian Arab state alongside the first Palestinian Arab state of Jordan.

Fair enough.

They want to create their second Palestinian Arab state in the millennia-old Jewish provinces of Judea and Samaria.

Fair enough.

In the civilized world, people who want something that isn’t theirs enter into a process of negotiation. There are prices to be agreed, contracts to be signed, guarantees to be provided and money to be paid.

Except when it comes to the Palestinian Arabs. They have indeed been living in Judea and Samaria for a number of generations. They immigrated there from all over the Arab world in the wake of the Jews’ success in rebuilding the Jewish nation. The Jews revitalized the region, elevating it from a malaria-ridden hell-hole as part of the Ottoman Empire to a flourishing modern centre of agriculture, industry, trade and commerce.

None of this alters the fact that, following their mass immigration to Mandate Palestine looking for jobs created by the Jews, the Palestinian Arabs are here today, and they are here to stay.

It is their right to stay.

What remains is to negotiate the terms, the price to be paid by the Palestinian Arabs who want to take over ownership of the Jewish provinces of Judea and Samaria, with appropriate border adjustments as necessary.

What is not negotiable is that the Palestinian Arabs really DO have to pay a price. Acquisition without payment is called theft. That payment is exactly what the Palestinian Arabs are trying to avoid. And they are very insistent.

They insist on their right to commit terrorism against Jews.

They insist on their right to indoctrinate children and adults in anti-Semitism, including in the state media and via their mosques.

They insist on their “right to return” to Israel as part of a wider regional settlement that will give them something they never had – a second country of their own, Palestine.

Read it again: the Palestinian Arabs want a country of their own, and insist that the key to their independence is some God-given (and UN-sanctioned) right to settle in another sovereign country, namely Israel. The equivalent would be for Albanians to claim the right of independence by demanding the right – sanctioned by the UN – to settle in Canada.

It is an absurdity that would never be entertained.

Here, however, the demands are being made by Palestinian Arabs, so what would be regarded as sublime comedy in any other context is treated with the utmost seriousness by people with impressive titles and even more impressive salaries – paid for by the UN. That’s that portion of your income that is taken from you every single month and sent to the UN in pursuit of reasoned, logical, well thought-out policies like this.

What else are the Palestinian Arabs demanding? For on-the-spot insight into what the Palestinian Arab national movement brings with it wherever it goes, look at the following short film clip from MEMRI. It shows just how much disregard the Palestinian national movement has for the countries in which it operates. Israelis may be on the front line of Palestinian Arab terrorism every single day, but you’ve got to feel really sorry for the many Arab communities the world over that have been and still are stigmatized and bullied in their own homes by a Palestinian national movement that respects nobody and nothing, least of all the basic rules of logic and respect. Read the transcript of the entire clip here.

The sentiments expressed by the Lebanese in their own homes are echoed throughout the Arab world. Despite official government lip service to “the Palestinian cause”, nobody in the Arab world wants anything to do with the Palestinian Arabs. Not because they are not sympathetic to the plight their leaders brought upon them, but because they have shown time and again an absolute unwillingness to do anything to extricate themselves through positive contribution. There have been countless opportunities for peace – turned down every single time by a Palestinian Arab leadership greedy for ever more. Not least a Palestine built on the ruins of Israel. All or nothing.

It’s all enshrined in that demand for a “return” to Israel – as part of the Palestinian yearning for an independent Palestine. The utter absurdity, the sheer lack of logic, the total absence of historical perspective, is staggering.

So is the Palestinian issue such a complex one after all?

Not in the least.

Tackle the intransigence at source: stop the Iranian interference and prevent the UN from infecting the issue, and the problem will resolve itself over an amicable cup of tea by midmorning tomorrow. The finer details may take until afternoon coffee to finalize.

With everyone doing what needs to be done. Because everyone knows exactly what has to be done.

Maybe when the Palestinian national movement finally ratifies the purchase agreement for the Jewish provinces of Judea and Samaria, pays the purchase price and builds its own country, then the Lebanese will finally gain the freedom of their own country.

The Palestinian exodus from Arab lands is eagerly awaited throughout the Arab world.

Because the Arab world is truly desperate for its independence from 60-odd years of Palestinian occupation.

Here are some interesting articles on how Palestinian yearning for their own homeland often seems to involve not just the murder of Jews in Israel but also the murder of Christians in the West Bank and Lebanon, and the murder of Muslims in Syria, Jordan, Libya and Egypt. Among many other places.

The music dies out as the West stumbles on towards its destiny

It’s OK to play music and dance in the streets to celebrate the massacre of civilians on 9/11, but illegal to play music and dance at your own wedding.
Hamas, the government of the Gaza Strip

This is no joke, and no exaggeration. Watch this video, made by a Palestinian Arab, which documents how Hamas kills a bridegroom for playing music at his own wedding.

Hamas abuse of civilians and children as part of its racist war against the Jews is well-known, thoroughly documented – and largely ignored.

Read here to find out just how it is that Hamas terrorists are masqueraded as “civilians” – even after they are dead. The deception comes alive even after their death, in the statistics that Hamas and their willing collaborators in the West spread as part of their US- and European government-funded propaganda operations.

Richard Goldstone, in his whitewash of Hamas culpability and his publicly funded targeting of Israel’s self-defense measures, noted that there was “no evidence” that Hamas waged war against Israel from civilian areas and with its fighters dressed in civilian clothing.

Bloggers Elder of Ziyon and Solomonia beg to differ. And they have the video and other evidence to back their claims of Hamas abuse of the Geneva Conventions.

Read Augean Stables for a highly lucid comment on the subject and further video evidence of Hamas tactics.

Of course, Hamas does not only use adult civilians in its propaganda war. Here is a video clip from MEMRI that shows what passes for children’s entertainment on Hamas TV. Raw indoctrination of vulnerable minors, racism of the most brutal sort. It needs to be remembered that the Palestinian Arabs – in both the West Bank and the Gaza Strip – rely exclusively on the West for their financial well-being. Agriculture, industry and trade have zero priority, it is the West that funds the Palestinian Arab war and propaganda budget.

For a further analysis of just what Hamas is up to, to understand the racist Islamist mindset that drives this and countless similar organisations, and to understand how close the West is to committing collective suicide in the face of the Islamist onslaught, read another piece from Augean Stables.

And there’s more. Bret Stephens, renowned from his senior writing and editorial positions at highly reputable publications such as the Wall Street Journal and the Jerusalem Post, raises the question of whether the West is competent to safeguard its own civilization in a climate in which Political Correctness has replaced organized religion as the key aspiration for politicians keener to preserve their jobs in the short term than they are to protect their citizens in the long term.

While continuing to routinely ignore human rights abuses in the Arab and Muslim worlds, the West continues to do what is most convenient – kowtow to the threats issuing from the Arab and Muslim worlds and focus instead on delegitimisation and demonisation of the sole democracy in the Middle East. Israel. As many keen observers and analysts have pointed out, it's remarkably like dropping your car keys by mistake and then searching for them under the street light because that's where it's bright and most convenient to search, rather than in the pools of inky darkness in between - where you actually dropped them.

Turning a blind eye to Islamist aggression has become such second nature in the West that few question where we are headed. Fewer still recognize that this is a problem. One of the exceptions to the rule showed itself in Der Spiegel where an editorial by Henryk M Broder pointed out with the utmost clarity that the West is indeed choked by fear. Spiegel also has another highly interesting article entitled “Fears of Eurabia: How Much Allah Can The Old Continent Bear?” Well worth a read for its cool, objective analysis.

The question that begs an answer, of course, is whether the politicians will ever wake up to the occasional clarion calls being sounded by the media. Or whether they will continue to insist that we do not have a problem with any given religion, just with certain nationalities.

In the wake of the attempted terror attack on the civilian airliner in Detroit last Christmas, President Barack Hussein Obama has announced restrictive travel measures for 14 nations.

All are Muslim nations.

But he continues to deny that the US faces a Muslim or Islamist threat.

Either his eyesight is failing, or his intelligence is. And I mean his intelligence, not his intelligence agencies.

They’re never given the chance to do their job. Political Correctness has higher priority than national well-being.

Of course, Obama isn't the only politican suffering from SES - Selective Eyesigt Syndrome. Has-been US President Jimmy Carter has made a name for himself - particularly in the Arab world - for his constant baracking of the world's sole Jewish state. Now he has apologised for hurting the feelings of Israelis and Jews worldwide, apparently in the belief that his scant apology buys him sufficient breathing-space to continue his attacks on the Jewish state. While at the same time continuing to ignore the legion human rights abuses throughout the Arab and Muslim worlds. Read what CAMERA writes in its response to Jimmy Carter.

Musiken tystnar medan vi leds till vårt öde

Det är OK att spela musik och dansa på gatorna för att fira 9/11, men olagligt att spela musik och dansa på ditt eget bröllop.
Hamasregeringen på Gazaremsan

Inget skämt, och ingen överdrift. Titta på denna videofilm, som gjordes av en palestinsk arab, och som visar hur Hamas dödar en brudgum för att det spelades musik på hans bröllop.

Hamas övergrepp mot civila vuxna och barn som del i sitt rasistiska krig mot judarna är välkänt, väldokumenterat – och mer eller mindre ignorerat.

Läs här hur Hamasterrorister maskeras som ”civila” – även efter det att de dödats. Lögnen blir levande även efter att de är döda genom den statistik som Hamas och deras villiga kollaboratörer i väst sprider som del av den amerikanskt- och europeiskt-finansierade propagandaverksamheten – finansierade inte minst genom våra svenska skattemedel.

Richard Goldstone, som gjorde enorma ansträngningar för att friskriva Hamas allt ansvar och som använde skattepengar för att rikta kritik mot Israels självförsvar, sade att det inte finns “något bevis” för att Hamas strider mot Israel från civila områden, ej heller att Hamasterrorister strider klädda i civil mundering.

Bloggarna Elder of Ziyon samt Solomonia vet annorlunda. Och de har video- och annat bevis för att Hamas fullständigt ignorerar Genèvekonventionerna.

Läs Augean Stables för en kristallklar kommentar i ämnet samt för att se mer videobevis för Hamas taktik.

Självklart använder Hamas inte enbart vuxna civila i sin propagandakrigsföring. Här ser ni en videofilm från MEMRI som visar vad Hamas anser är bra barn-TV, den visades i den palestinska regeringens statliga TV-kanal. Rå indoktrinering av sårbara minderåriga, rasism av den brutalaste sorten. I detta sammanhang bör man ha komma ihåg att de palestinska araberna – såväl på Västbanken som i Gazaremsan – helt och hållet förlitar sig på Väst för sina pengar. Jordbruk, industri och handel har noll prioritet, istället är det Väst som finansierar det palestinsk-arabiska kriget och propagandabudgeten.

För en djupare analys av vad Hamas håller på med, för att förstå de rasistiska islamistiska tankegångar som driver denna samt otaliga liknande organisationer, och för att förstå hur nära Västvärlden är till att begå kollektivt självmord på grund av den islamistiska anstormningen, läs en till artikel på bloggen Augean Stables.

Och mer finns det dessutom. Bret Stephens, känd från både Wall Street Journal och Jerusalem Post, ställer frågan om Västvärlden är kompetent nog att skydda sin egen civilisation i ett klimat där Politisk Korrekthet har ersatt organiserad religion som den viktigaste måttstocken bland politiker. Politiker som är mer entusiastiska över att behålla sina välbetalda jobb i det korta perspektivet än att skydda sina medborgare i det längre perspektivet.

Medan man fortsätter att konsekvent ignorera brott mot de mänskliga rättigheterna i arabvärlden och den muslimska världen, fortsätter Västvärlden att göra det som är bekvämast – svansa för de många och allvarliga hoten från arabvärlden och den muslimska världen och helt och hållet fokusera på delegitimisering och demonisering av Mellanösterns enda demokrati – Israel.

Att blunda för islamisternas aggression har blivit så vanlig i väst att få här ifrågasätter vart vi är på väg. Ännu färre inser att detta förhållande är problematiskt. Ett av undantagen i medievärlden visades i Der Spiegel där en ledarartikel skriven av Henryk M Broder klargjorde med all önskvärd tydlighet att Västvärlden har paralyserats genom rädsla. Tidningen hade även ytterligare en mycket intressant artikel med titeln (översatt till svenska) ”Rädsla för Eurabia: Hur mycket Allah kan den gamla kontinenten tåla?” Oerhört intressant läsning, inte minst för dess lugna, objektiva analys.

Frågan som kräver ett svar, förstås, är om politikerna någonsin kommer att vakna till mediernas tilltagande larmsignaler. Eller om de kommer att fortsätta att vidhålla att vi inte alls har något problem med någon enstaka religion, utan endast med vissa nationaliteter.

I spåret av den misslyckade terrorbombningen av flygplanet i Detroit nu i julas har President Barack Hussein Obama aviserat reserestriktioner till USA för medborgare från 14 nationer.

Samtliga är muslimska nationer.

Men han fortsätter att förneka att USA har att göra med ett muslimskt eller islamistiskt hot.

Antingen har han problem med ögonen, eller med intelligensen.

Han är förstås inte ensam om det. Den tidigare amerikanska presidenten Jimmy Carter har gjort sig ett namn (bejublat i arabvärlden) för sina konstanta påhopp på den judiska staten. Nu säger han att han ber om ursäkt för att ha sårat israelernas och judarnas känslor och tror att dessa ord ger honom frihet att fortsätta sina angrepp på Israel – samtidigt som han fortsätter att ignorera de förödande brotten mot de mänskliga rättigheterna i hela den muslimska världen.
