Israel Is the Victim - Jordan is Arab-Palestine by YJ Draiman

Israel Is the Victim - Jordan is Arab-Palestine

Jordan is Arab-Palestine by YJ Draiman





Jordan is Arab-Palestine
In compliance with the 1920 League of Nations Resolution, two-state solution was implemented in 1922 when British administration of occupied Israel in violation of International Treaties, (for 50 barrels of oil) allocated more than 77% of Israel territory to Arab-Palestinian Arabs and created Transjordan (now Jordan in) where today over 90 percent of the population identify themselves as Arab-Palestinian. Every party, including UN, EUUS, etc., must respect The 1920 San Remo Treaty, the League of Nations Resolutions, adopted and accepted by UN in 1945. Therefore, all so called “Arab-Palestinians” must be relocated there in Jordan. Enough stealing Israel land. Britainand Jordan must compensate Israel for stolen land and natural resources. That includes the assets and land of the million Jews and their children, (that lived in the Arab countries for over 2,000 years), who were expelled from Arab countries of which the majority settled in Greater Israel. (120,444 sq. km. of Jewish Real property was confiscated, which is 5-6 times the size of Israel and valued in the trillions of dollars).
The League of Nation was contemplating on filing charges against 
Britain for violating the Mandate for Palestine, especially for restricting Jewish immigration prior and during WW2 1939-1947.
History of “Arab-Arab-Palestinians”.
Article 24 of the 1964 PLO Charter addressed to UN stipulates: “Arab-Palestinian Muslims do not exercise authority over West Bank (Judea and Samaria) and Gaza territories”
Arab leaders like Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi told the Peel Commission in 1937: “There is no such country as ‘Palestine’; ‘Palestine’ is a term the Zionists invented!”
In 1946, Arab historian Philip Hitti testified before the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry that “there is no such thing as
Palestine in history.”
In 1977, an executive committee member of the PLO Zahir Muhsein confirmed that there is no such thing as a separate “Arab-Palestinian” people of Arab descent. In an interview with the Dutch newspaper Trouw in 
March 31, 1977, he stated the following: “The Arab-Palestinian people do not exist. The creation of a Arab-Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity.”
In 1948, Bernadotte, mediator between Jews and Arabs appointed by the UN General Assembly, noted in his journal that the “Arab-Palestinian” Arabs had little desire for independence:
“The Arab-Palestinian Arabs had at present no will of their own. Neither have they ever developed any specifically Arab-Palestinian nationalism. The demand for a separate Arab state in
Palestine is consequently relatively weak. It would seem as though in existing circumstances most of the Arab-Palestinian Arabs would be quite content to be incorporated inTransjordan.”
In 1947, Arab leaders protesting the UN partition plan argued that 
Palestine was part of Syria and “politically, the Arabs of Palestine (were) not (an) independent separate … political entity.”
Western media must stop broadcasting and publishing fraudulent, fake, false, and distorted information on 
Israel and Jews. Current situation, specifically in Europe, is quite similar to 1930s, however, we, Jews, learned our lessons and will not hesitate to give appropriate response to any mortal attacks on us.

It is interesting to note, that Jordan is a country that never existed in history before WWI and nobody is contesting its legitimacy or territorial sovereignty and control. The same powers that established 21 Arab States plus Jordan after WWI, established the State of Israel based on the Balfour Declaration and the San Remo Treaty of 1920.
On the other hand, 
Israel and its Jewish people have over 4,000 years of history.
Many nations and people are questioning 
Israel’s control of its liberated territory. No one is mentioning that the Arab countries had persecuted and ejected about a million Jewish families and their children from their countries, confiscated their assets, businesses, homes and Real estate 650,00 Jewish people and their children of these expelled Jewish people were resettled in Greater Israel. The Land the Arab countries confiscated from the Jewish people 120,400 sq. km. or 75,000 sq. miles, which is over 5-6 times the size of Israel, and its value today is the trillions of dollars.
Let the 21 Arab countries resettle the Arab Palestinians in the land they confiscated from the Jews which is 4 times the size of
Israel. Provide them with funds they confiscated from the million Jewish people they expelled and let them build an economy, This will benefit both the Arab-Palestinians and the hosting countries, The other alternative is relocate the Arab-Palestinians to Jordan, (originally land allocated for the Jewish people) which is already 80% Arab-Palestinians, and give them funds to relocate and build an economy. This will solve the Arab-Palestinians refugee problem once and for all. It will also reduce hostility and strife in the region.
If this is not discrimination against 
Israel, I do not know what is.
It seems like nobody cares about land violations in other countries in the world, but when it comes to 
Israel, everyone has a say. Israel’s rights in the terms of the treaty of San Remoof 1920 are in affect in perpetuity. It clearly states that the Jewish people are the only ones with political rights in the British Mandate of Palestine and that the Jewish people can live anywhere in the British Mandate.
If the 
U.S.Europe and other countries will stop meddling, and stop its criticism and involvement in the politics of Israel and the Arabs, than there will be a chance for peace.
We know the great powers are only interested in the OIL and nothing else, that is the bottom line.
A true and lasting peace in 
Israel will bring mammoth economic prosperity to The Israelis and The Arabs alike.
An approach to peace starts by teaching the Arab-Palestinian children and the people not to hate and condemn any acts of violence that hurts civilian populations and stop celebrating and rewarding the death and destruction of each other.

P.S.
No Jew has the right to yield the rights of the Jewish People in
Israel –.
David Ben Gurion.
(David Ben-Gurion was the first Prime Minister of Israel and widely hailed as the State’s main founder).
“No Jew is entitled to give up the right of establishing [i.e. settling] the Jewish Nation in all of the 
Land of Israel. No Jewish body has such power. Not even all the Jews alive today [i.e. the entire Jewish People] have the power to cede any part of the country or homeland whatsoever. This is a right vouchsafed or reserved for the Jewish Nation throughout all generations. This right cannot be lost or expropriated under any condition or circumstance. Even if at some particular time, there are those who declare that they are relinquishing this right, they have no power nor competence to deprive coming generations of this right. The Jewish nation is neither bound nor governed by such a waiver or renunciation. Our right to the whole of this country is valid, in force and endures forever. And until the Final Redemption has come, we will not budge from this historic right.”.
BEN-GURION’S DECLARATION ON THE EXCLUSIVE 
AND.
INALIENABLE JEWISH RIGHT TO THE WHOLE OF.
THE 
LAND OF ISRAEL:
at the 
Basle Session of the 20th Zionist Congress at Zurich(1937).



Article 51 of the UN Charter, which gives a nation the right to self-defense.
"The attack," Reagan wrote in his memoirs," was not intended to kill Gaddafi; that would have violated our prohibition against assassination. The object was to let him know that we weren't going to accept his terrorism anymore, and that if he did it again he could expect to hear from us again." He cited article 51 of the UN Charter, which gives a nation the right to self-defense. In a television address to the nation Reagan said, "When our citizens are attacked or abused anywhere in the world, on the direct orders of hostile regimes, we will respond so long as I'm in this office."
The self-defense, consent,[2] and Security Council authorization pursuant to Article 42 of the UN Charter.[3] The right to self defense is an inherent concept in law “and is fundamental to the system of states.”[4] It is recognized and protected by Article 51 of the UN Charter:
Article 51
Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defense if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security...
The application of the right to combat terrorism was further reinforced by international practice following the 9/11 terror attacks on the United States. Two Security Council resolutions issued pursuant to Chapter VII of the UN Charter[5] reflect this consensus:
Security Council Resolutions 1368 (2001).
Recogniz[es] the inherent right of individual or collective self-defense in accordance with the Charter;...
Expresses its readiness to take all necessary steps to respond to the terrorist attacks of 
11 September 2001, and to combat all forms of terrorism, in accordance with its responsibilities under the Charter of the United Nations.
Security Council Resolution 1373 (2001).
Reaffirming further that such acts, like any act of international terrorism, constitute a threat to international peace and security,
Reaffirming the inherent right of individual or collective self-defense as recognized by the Charter of the United Nations as reiterated in resolution 1368 (2001),
Reaffirming the need to combat by all means, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations, threats to international peace and security caused by terrorist acts...

The West Bank (Judea and Samaria) was re-taken and liberated from Jordan by Israel in 1967 after another failed Arab attempt at destroying the young Jewish state and has been under Israel control ever since. In the Oslo accords (which are now null and void), Israel tried to give the PA limited supervision on a part of the area but it obviously did not work as the Arab goal here is not the creation of an Arab-Palestinian state but simply the destruction of the Jewish state. That is why they train the Arab children and the masses to commit terror and violence, honor terrorists and suicide bombers.  If they wanted a Arab-Palestinian state, they would have asked Jordan before 1967 for the territories. They never bothered (because they knew it was occupied Jewish territory) until Israel took over.

The Arab countries persecuted and expelled over a million Jews and their families, the Arabs confiscated all their personal assets, including Real estate property 120,440 sq. km. 5-6 times the size of Israel, valued in the trillions of dollars (these Jewish people and their children have lived in those Arab countries for over 2,200 years. Most of those Jews were resettled in the liberated Greater Israel.Israel must stop all Arab violence at all costs and restore security and safety to its citizens.

Ben Gurion
"No Jew has the right to yield the rights of the Jewish People in 
Israel.
No Jew has the authority to do so.
No Jewish body has the authority to do so.
Not even the entire Jewish People alive today has the right to yield any part of 
Israel.
It is the right of the Jewish People over the generations, a right that under
no conditions can be cancelled.
Even if Jews during a specific period proclaim they are relinquishing this right, they have neither the power nor the authority to deny it to future generations.
No concession of this type is binding or obligates the Jewish People. Our right to the country - the entire country - exists as an eternal right, and we shall not yield this historic right until its full and complete redemption is realized."

Why History Matters: The 1967 Six-Day War
Mention the word "history" and it can trigger a roll of the eyes.

Add "
Middle East" to the equation and folks might start running for the hills, unwilling to get caught up in the seemingly bottomless pit of details and disputes.

But without an understanding of what happened, it's impossible to grasp where we are — and where we are has profound relevance for the region and the world.

Forty-eight years ago this week, the Six-Day War broke out.

While some wars fade into obscurity, this one remains as relevant today as in 1967. Many of its core issues remain unresolved and in the news.

Politicians, diplomats, and journalists continue to grapple with the consequences of that war, but rarely provide context. Yet without context, some critically important things may not make sense.

First, in June 1967, there was no state of 
Palestine. It didn't exist and never had. Its creation, proposed by the UN in 1947, was rejected by the Arab world because it also meant the establishment of a Jewish state alongside.

Second, the 
West Bank and eastern Jerusalem were in Jordanian hands. Violating solemn agreements, Jordan denied Jews access to their holiest places in eastern Jerusalem. To make matters still worse, they desecrated and destroyed many of those sites.

Meanwhile, the Gaza Strip was under Egyptian control, with harsh military rule imposed on local residents.

And the 
Golan Heights, which were regularly used to shell Israeli communities far below, belonged to Syria.

Third, the Arab world could have created a Palestinian state in the 
West Bank, easternJerusalem, and the Gaza Strip any day of the week. They didn't. There wasn't even discussion about it. And Arab leaders, who today profess such attachment to easternJerusalem, rarely, if ever, visited. It was viewed as an Arab backwater.

Fourth, the 1967 boundary at the time of the war, so much in the news these days, was nothing more than an armistice line dating back to 1949 — familiarly known as the Green Line. That's after five Arab armies attacked 
Israel in 1948 with the aim of destroying the embryonic Jewish state. They failed. Armistice lines were drawn, but they weren't formal borders. They couldn't be. The Arab world, even in defeat, refused to recognize Israel's very right to exist.

Fifth, the PLO, which supported the war effort, was established in 1964, three years before the conflict erupted. That's important because it was created with the goal of obliterating
Israel. Remember that in 1964 the only "settlements" were Israel itself.

Sixth, in the weeks leading up to the Six-Day War, Egyptian and Syrian leaders repeatedly declared that war was coming and their objective was to wipe 
Israel off the map. There was no ambiguity. Twenty-two years after the Holocaust, another enemy spoke about the extermination of Jews. The record is well-documented.

The record is equally well-documented that Israel, in the days leading up to the war, passed word to Jordan, via the UN and United States, urging Amman to stay out of any pending conflict. 
Jordan's King Hussein ignored the Israeli plea and tied his fate to Egypt and Syria. His forces were defeated by Israel, and he lost control of the West Bank and easternJerusalem. He later acknowledged that he had made a terrible error in entering the war.

Seventh, 
Egypt's President Gamal Abdel Nasser demanded that UN peacekeeping forces in the area, in place for the previous decade to prevent conflict, be removed. Shamefully, without even the courtesy of consulting Israel, the UN complied. That left no buffer between Arab armies being mobilized and deployed and Israeli forces in a country one-fiftieth the size of Egypt -- and just nine miles wide at its narrowest point.

Eighth, 
Egypt blocked Israeli shipping lanes in the Red SeaIsrael's only maritime access to trading routes with Asia and Africa. This step was understandably regarded as an act of war by Jerusalem. The United States spoke about joining with other countries to break the blockade, but, in the end, did not act.

Ninth, 
France, which had been Israel's principal arms supplier, announced a ban on the sale of weapons on the eve of the June war. That left Israel in potentially grave danger if a war were to drag on and require the re-supply of arms. It was not until the next year that theU.S. stepped into the breach and sold vital weapons systems to Israel.

And finally, after winning the war of self-defense, 
Israel hoped that its newly-acquired territories, seized from EgyptJordan, and Syria, would be the basis for a land-for-peace accord. Feelers were sent out. The formal response came on September 1, 1967, when the Arab Summit Conference famously declared in Khartoum: "No peace, no recognition, no negotiations" with Israel.

Today, there are those who wish to rewrite history.

They want the world to believe there was once a Palestinian state. There was not.

They want the world to believe there were fixed borders between that state and 
Israel. There was only an armistice line between Israel and the Jordanian-controlled West Bankand eastern Jerusalem.

They want the world to believe the 1967 war was a bellicose act by 
Israel. It was an act of self-defense in the face of blood-curdling threats to vanquish the Jewish state, not to mention the maritime blockade of the Straits of Tiran, the abrupt withdrawal of UN peacekeeping forces, and the redeployment of Egyptian and Syrian troops. All wars have consequences. This one was no exception. But the Arab aggressors have utterly failed to take responsibility for the actions they instigated.

They want the world to believe post-1967 Israeli settlement-building is the key obstacle to Arab-Israeli peacemaking. The Six-Day War is proof positive that the core issue is, and always has been, whether the Arab world accepts the Jewish people's right to a state of their own. If so, all other contentious issues, however difficult, have possible solutions. But, alas, if not, all bets are off.

And they want the world to believe the Arab world had nothing against Jews per se, only
Israel, yet trampled with abandon on sites of sacred meaning to the Jewish people.

In other words, when it comes to the Arab-Israeli conflict, dismissing the past as if it were a minor irritant at best, irrelevant at worst, won't work.

Can history move forward? Absolutely. 
Israel's peace treaties with Egypt in 1979 and Jordanin 1994 prove the point. At the same time, though, the lessons of the Six-Day War illustrate just how tough and tortuous the path can be.
The foreign imported Hashemite monarchy sits on 80% of the mandate territory but does NOT allow the admission of Arab residents of the mandate into their JEW FREE heaven. the foreign stooges keep the pals out of Palestine. the removal of the stooges would remove the obstruction to the west bank former Jordanian citizens to move to the JEW FREE 80% portion of their homeland.
Its time for a new paradigm, it is not in 
Israel's interest either to prop up the monarchy that maintains the 80% JEW FREE, bars Jews from owning land and from citizenship. Remove protection from them, let them fall first, then go in after to mop it up and to open the border to the west bank pals.

The " imported Hashemite foreign monarchy"? So the monarchy is imported but the "Palestinian" people, invented by Arafat are legitimate? Even their own PLO admits they are just like other Arabs---"The Palestinian people [do] not exist... In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct 'Palestinian people' to oppose Zionism." — PLO Executive Committee member Zahir Muhse'in, quoted in the Dutch newspaper Trouw. Maybe you would prefer the chaos of Syria or even as about to erupt in Gaza between Hamas and the "Omar Brigades" or maybe ISIS is more to your liking.

Abbas' family left voluntarily BEFORE the modern State of Israel was established. He is a citizen of Jordan, courtesy of Jordan's 1954 Citizenship Law, which bestowed Jordanian citizenship upon all Arabs in the West Bankand their progeny, irrevocably. An irrevocable grant of citizenship is precisely that -- IRREVOCABLE.
I don't think he can be stripped of his Jordanian citizenship -- Jordan's tried it with West Bank Arabs before, and the International Court of Justice in Den Haag always ruled it illegal. Abbas can call himself a "citizen" of "Palestine" but that begs the question -- what "Palestine," and where?
By the way, Safed -- Tsfat, in Hebrew -- is one of the oldest cities continually populated by Jews in the world. The Arabs are relative newcomers, and those that left voluntarily are not welcome back. Abbas' family, and many other Arab families in Israel, rejected Israel and voted with their feet. They thought they could come back after the Arabs had exterminated all the Jews in 1948. It didn't quite work out that way, and they cannot come back.
Palestine no longer exists. There are the sovereign states of Israel and theKingdom of Jordan. There are Judea and Samaria, which are no sovereign and it is a foregone conclusion that they will be formally annexed by Israel. There is Gaza, which is a terrorist enclave populated by pseudo-"Palestinians." The pseudo-"Palestinians" in Judea and Samaria will not be permitted to remain there upon annexation. They are eligible to be repatriated to Jordan, country of their citizenship, but that would further destabilize an already unstable Jordan. Best bet all around is to expel them to Gaza, which is already populated by pseudo-"Palestinians." They can rename it whatever they like, but Gaza, a terrorist enclave, is a long way away from statehood. Perhaps the pseudo-"Palestinians" can make something work in Gaza. Very doubtful, but there is nothing wrong in giving them a shot and becoming something other than a lawless, non-sovereign entity. If they fail -- well, let's cross that bridge when we come to it.
They were forced out in 72 A.D. by the Roman Empire. When did your forebears decide to come to a country to which they had no right, title or claim and massacred over twenty million native Americans to take possession of a land which was never theirs to begin with?

Unlike me -- I am Jewish, therefore Israel is my ancestral homeland. That is historically and archaeologically indisputable. I did not steal anyone's home; I simply returned to mine. How about you? What land did your ancestors leave in order to steal someone else's, and when are you planning to return the land they stole to its rightful owners?

  1. Israel needs strong and consistent international PR (public relations) program
    The numerous comments of liberal bigots below reveal once again that Israel’s biggest mistake is not having a strong and consistent international PR (public relations) program. Most people in the west don’t
    know, for instance, that:
    1) Although the territory of Palestine/Israel has been occupied by foreign powers throughout most of history, since around 1200 BC, there has never been an independent state in Palestine that wasn’t Jewish. Nobody has a stronger historical claim to the territory than the Jews.
    2) Many if not most of the alleged “native Palestinians” were “bused in” to the territory in the decades preceding Israel’s independence by hostile neighboring Arab states bent on thwarting the nascent state of Israel.
    3) The Israelis didn’t drive out of Israel the “Palestinians” now claiming a “right of return.” They left voluntarily, probably under the erroneous assumption that they would be slaughtered by the Jews, because that’s exactly what they would have done to the Jews, if they had the power.
    4) Living in peace with medieval next-door neighbors bent on the destruction of your people and your state is a fool’s errand.
    5) Etc., etc., etc., ad infinitum.
    Does Israel need to make more consistent and public efforts to accommodate an emergent Palestinian state? Probably. But what Israel needs most is a better PR campaign. It is clear that the anti-Israel and anti-Semitic forces are putting tremendous resources into PR on a global scale. Israel and her friends must fight harder in the court of public opinion.

  2. The U.N. should of been disbanded 55 years ago. They are nothing but a waste of money, energy and human effort. It is one of the most corrupted organization in the world.
    It is time to withdraw American monetary support for the U.N. and take it apart.
    There was never an Arab-Palestinian State in Greater Israel and there will never be one – face it.
    The Ottoman land records of Palestine confirm that the Arabs did not own land, they were sharecroppers. Over 90% of the land was owned by the government the balance was owned by absentee wealthy Arabs from Lebanon and elsewhere who sold it to the Jews at premium prices.
    It is time to implement population transfer for all the Arabs. (Just like was done after WW2) for those who promote and create violence, riot and attack Jews and anyone else. They could be relocated to the homes and land (120,440 sq. km.) of the million Jewish families and their children, persecuted and expelled from Arab countries or can relocate to Jordan which is 75% Arab-Palestinians. (Arabs in the West Bank aka Judea and Samaria carry Jordanian Passports).

  3. I was involved in building a 5 Star hotel in Jerusalem across from the old city. I understand the problem of development in Jerusalem. It took 20 years of legal battles to finally build the hotel. The Hotel was built over an old hotel structure that was turn down.
    With these kind of obstacles it is hard to advance and provide housing and development, Roads and highways, businesses and industry.
    The process has to be streamlined and expedited. Nature and parks must be preserved with proper balance for growth.

  4. Israel needs a smart urban planning with a balance between nature and population growth. Both are needed for proper development. Each side has to understand that a compromise from both sides will bring the project and development to fruition.
    Israel today needs urgently 500,000 housing units.
    Israel also needs to expedite the development of its natural resources with a careful Eco balance. It should not take decades.
    Nobody is going to get everything they wanted.
    There is enough vacant land in Greater Jerusalem that can be developed without any obstructions. I looked at some 20 years ago.
    The main problem is the bureaucracy.
    YJ Draiman.

    How about the hundreds killed by Allied bombing of ISIS.
    Or the bombing of cities in Germany in WW2 by American and British bombers, leveling cities and killing over 100,000 civilians including women and children.
    That is OK.
    When Israel defends itself, it is not OK.
    I think Israel should ignore the worlds comments and criticisms and defend its population with no holds barred. That is the ultimate responsibility and duty of the government of Israel.
    Any leftist who is delusional and does not like it can go elsewhere.

  5. There is nothing to talk about peace with the Arab-Palestinians while terror continues.

    I cannot understand why are people fantasizing peace with Arab terrorists.
    All they want is all of Israel and the Jews out. They also want all the Christians out.
    When the Arab-Palestinian train their children and the masses to commit mayhem, educate and promote hate, terror and violence, Glorifies Suicide bombers and terrorists. You have no one to talk to.
    Let see the Arab-Palestinians teach their children and the masses to despise violence and terror, punish those who commit violence and terror, arrest terrorists and promote co-existence for a generation. Then Israel can sit down with them and discuss mutual peace.
    If the Arab-Palestinians persist on terror and violence they must leave Greater Israel and go elsewhere; such as Jordan or to the 120,440 sq. km. the Arab countries confiscated from the million Jewish families they persecuted and expelled from the Arab countries.

    When a poison strikes the human body, the only way to address it, is to remove it and destroy it completely. That is the way the terrorist organizations should be treated.

  6. United States official position on Jerusalem
    In 1990 the United States Senate adopted a resolution "acknowledging Jerusalem as Israel's capital" and stating that it "strongly believes that Jerusalem must remain an undivided city." The subsequent Clinton Administration refused to characterize East Jerusalem as being under occupation and viewed it as a territory over which sovereignty was defined. Vice President Gore stated that the US viewed "united Jerusalem" as the capital of Israel. In light of this designation, the US has since abstained from Security Council resolutions which use language which construes East Jerusalem as forming part of the West Bank (Judea and Samaria). In 1995, Congress passed the Jerusalem Embassy Act which declared that Jerusalem should remain undivided and that it should be recognized as Israel's capital.

  7. Jamal Husseinei, the nephew of Grand Mufti Hajj Amin El Husseinei, reported to the UN that, "

    "The Arabs did not want to submit to a truce; they rather preferred to abandon their homes, their belongings and everything they possessed in the world and leave the town. This is in fact what they did." ( Jamal Husseinei, Acting Chairman of the Palestine Arab Higher Committee, speaking to the United Nations Security Council. UNSC Official Records (N. 62), April 23, 1948, p. 14.)

    John Bagot Glubb ("Glubb Pasha"), the commander of Jordan's Arab Legion, was quoted in the London Daily Mail of August 12, 1948. as admitting,
    "Villages were frequently abandoned even before they were threatened by the progress of war"

    A report by Habib Issa in the Lebanese newspaper, Al Hoda of June 8, 1951, stated:

    "The Secretary-General of the Arab League, Azzam Pasha, assured the Arab peoples that the occupation of Palestine and Tel Aviv would be as simple as a military promenade. He pointed out that they were already on the frontiers and that all the millions the Jews had spent on land and economic development would be easy booty, for it would be a simple matter to throw Jews into the Mediterranean.

    “Brotherly advice was given to the Arabs of Palestine to leave their land, homes and property and to stay temporarily in neighboring fraternal states, lest the guns of the invading Arab armies mow them down."

  8. With these quotes, the Arabs tell the story of the origin of the Palestinian refugees in their own words:


    ON APRIL 23, 1948 Jamal Husseinei, acting chairman of the Palestine Arab Higher Committee (AHC), told the UN Security Council: "The Arabs did not want to submit to a truce ... They preferred to abandon their homes, belongings and everything they possessed."

    ON SEPTEMBER 6, 1948, the Beirut Daily Telegraph quoted Emil Ghory, secretary of the AHC, as saying: "The fact that there are those refugees is the direct consequence of the action of the Arab states in opposing partition and the Jewish state. The Arab states agreed upon this policy unanimously..."

    ON JUNE 8, 1951, Habib Issa, secretary-general of the Arab League, wrote in the New York Lebanese daily al-Hoda that in 1948, Azzam Pasha, then League secretary, had "assured the Arab peoples that the occupation of Palestine and of Tel Aviv would be as simple as a military promenade ... Brotherly advice was given to the Arabs of Palestine to leave their land, homes and property, and to stay temporarily in neighboring fraternal states."

    IN THE MARCH 1976 issue of Falastin a-Thaura, then the official journal of the Beirut-based PLO, Mahmoud Abbas aka ("Abu Mazen"), PLO spokesman, wrote: "The Arab armies entered Palestine to protect the Palestinians from the Zionist tyranny but, instead, they abandoned them, forced them to emigrate and to leave their homeland, and threw them into prisons similar to the ghettos in which the Jews used to live."

    ON APRIL 9, 1953, the Jordanian daily al-Urdun quoted a refugee, Yunes Ahmed Assad, formerly of Deir Yassin, as saying: "For the flight and fall of the other villages, it is our leaders who are responsible, because of the dissemination of rumors exaggerating Jewish crimes and describing them as atrocities in order to inflame the Arabs ... they instilled fear and terror into the hearts of the Arabs of Palestine until they fled, leaving their homes and property to the enemy."

    ANOTHER refugee told the Jordanian daily a-Difaa on September 6, 1954: "The Arab governments told us, 'Get out so that we can get in.' So we got out, but they did not get in."

    THE JORDANIAN daily Falastin wrote on February 19, 1949: "The Arab states... encouraged the Palestinian Arabs to leave their homes temporarily in order to be out of the way of the Arab invasion armies."

    ON OCTOBER 2, 1948, the London Economist reported, in an eyewitness account of the flight of Haifa's Arabs: "There is little doubt that the most potent of the factors [in the flight] were the announcements made over the air by the Arab Higher Executive urging all Arabs in Haifa to quit ... And it was clearly intimated that those Arabs who remained in Haifa and accepted Jewish protection would be regarded as renegades."

    THE PRIME Minister of Syria in 1948, Khaled al-Azem, in his memoirs, published in 1973, listed what he thought were the reasons for the Arab failure in 1948: " ... the fifth factor was the call by the Arab governments to the inhabitants of Palestine to evacuate it and leave for the bordering Arab countries ... We brought destruction upon a million Arab refugees by calling on them and pleading with them to leave their land."

  9. We are tired of hearing anything from anyone associated with the U.N. The U.N. is a biased parasitic and criminal enterprise dominated by our-Israel's mortal enemies. The U.N. cannot create states, it can only recommend and so can other nations only recommend and not create a state that never existed before in history. The U.N. has no authority to violate international treaties (confirmed by the 1920 treaty of Sevres and Lausanne) that reconstituted Israel in Palestine and no other entity was allocated territory in Palestine by International Treaties. If they want an Arab-Palestinian state, it already exists, it is Jordan which has taken 80% of Jewish allocated land, in violation of international treaties. They also have the land the Arabs Countries confiscated from the Jewish people which is 5-6 times the size of Israel 120,440 sq. km.
    We are tired of stupid post-colonialist rhetoric. We liberated our Jewish territory after being attacked by the surrounding Arab countries 4 times. We are not ‘colonists’ and Arabs do not
