http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_u-AKWDZaYso/R9dC65Cmp1I/AAAAAAAACMM/MpasBVcWE0Y/s400/Palestinian_lynch.jpgFollowing the footsteps of all Western leaders before him in recent history, President Obama has waxed poetic on the need to fulfill the dreams of every Phakestinian by providing them with a ”much deserved” State.  (Even comparing Phakestinian suffering to the Jews in the Holocaust)

His statements, and policy is based on many false assumptions, but none more influential than the repeatedly proven false belief that the Phakestinians are suffering from an unprecedented “occupation” by Israel, and that they actually want to live side-by-side with Israel in peace within their own Country.

Carl In Jerusalem, does a fantastic job explaining the folly of this assumption, and gives a bit of a history lesson on the Arab-Israel conflict from an angle that is often not discussed: When Egypt Occupied Gaza.

Below are excepts from Carl In Jerusalem.

_______________________________________

Egypt occupied the Gaza Strip from 1948-67.  Had they chosen to do so, and if the real goal of the ‘Palestinians’ and the Arab countries had been to do so, Egypt could have granted Gaza independence as a ‘Palestinian’ state. (Jordan could have done the same with the ‘West Bank’).

But that was not Egypt’s goal and the Arab countries have no interest in the ‘Palestinians’ or a ‘Palestinian state.’ Here are a couple of examples of how the ‘refugees’ in Gaza were treated in the 1960’s, long before there was any ‘occupation.’

Egypt’s policy for the Strip was succinctly spelled out by the deputy governor, Muhammad Flafaga, in an interview appearing in the Danish newspaper Aktuelt on February 9, 1967:

  • Question: Why not send the refugees to other Arab countries? Syria would no doubt be able to absorb a vast number of them. Are you afraid that national bonds with Palestine will be loosened, that the hatred against Israel will vanish if they become ordinary citizens?
  • Answer: As a matter of fact, you are right. Syria could take all of them, and the problem would be solved. But we do not want that. They are to return to Palestine.

UNRWA reported in 1956: “One of the obstacles to the achievement of the General Assembly’s goal of making the refugees self-supporting continues to be the opposition of the governments in the area.”

Ralph Galloway, an UNRWA official who quit in frustration, observed bitterly: “The Arab states don’t want to solve the refugee problem. They want to keep it as an open sore, as a weapon against Israel. Arab leaders don’t give a damn whether the refugees live or die.”

_______________________________________

No discussion about the Arab-Israel conflict would not be complete without mentioning the 1974 P.L.O. Phased Plan.

One of the major reasons why the Arab-Israel conflict has yet to be resolved is because we don’t allow ourselves to properly understand it, and instead naively cling to baseless assumptions regarding the Arab goals; namely destroying Israel.

The “Disengagement” from Gaza in 2005 is a recent blaring example of this.

“Moderate” P.A.: Death Penalty For Those Who Sell Land To Jews

Once again, the “moderate” P.A. issues another death threat to their people against selling land to Jews.  This isn’t the first time either, this is a long standing P.A. policy.  Notice that this Fatwa and law is against all Jews; not “Zionists”, or “Israelis”, or IDF, blah,blah, blah….nope…..it is against ALL Jews!  Where are the condemnations for such blatant Anti-semitism, and actions against harmony from the usual “peace” groups, and “civil-Rights” Organizations on this?

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/static/blogs/20080323104334.jpgThe Palestinian Authority has issued yet another warning to Palestinians against selling their homes or properties to Jews, saying those who violate the order would be accused of “high treason” – a charge that carries the death penalty.

The latest warning was issued on Wednesday by the Chief [Islamic] Judge of the Palestinian Authority, Sheikh Tayseer Rajab Tamimi, who reminded the Palestinians of an existing fatwa [religious decree] than bans them from selling property to Jews.

Sheikh Tamimi’s warning came in response to reports that Jewish businessmen from the US had purchased 20 dunams of land from Palestinians on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem.

Warning the Palestinians against engaging in “suspicious real estate deeds,” the religious leader said that according to Islamic teachings it was a “grave sin” to sell houses and lands to Jews.

He said that the ban also applies to real estate agents or middlemen who are involved in such transactions.

He warned that anyone who ignores the warning would be punished in accordance with Islamic teachings and would also be ostracized by his community and family.

Sheikh Tamimi also issued a ban on renting out property to Jewish individuals and organizations under the pretext that they would spread moral, political and security corruption there.

“The city of Jerusalem is the religious, political and spiritual capital of the Palestinians,” he said.  “The Jews have no rights in Jerusalem. This is an occupied city like the rest of the territories that were occupied in 1967.”

Scores of Palestinians have been murdered over the past three decades for allegedly selling their property to Jews or for acting as intermediaries in real estate deeds involving Jews.

Several fatwas issued by PA Islamic clerics have ruled that any Palestinian who sells his property to Jews would face the death sentence.

Fatah legislator Hatem Abdel Kader, who also serves as PA Prime Minister Salaam Fayad’s adviser on Jerusalem affairs, told The Jerusalem Post that the new-old ban was needed to thwart attempts by the new right-wing government in Israel to take control over more lands in the Arab neighborhoods of the city.

I ask you then….who exactly in this Conflict are the “racist”, “ultra-nationalists”?  Funny, (not!) how they don’t use those terms when describing the Phakestinians, or other Arabs, even when their behavior is worse!

Per Carl In Jerusalem:

“By the way, unfortunately, these threats are not a joke. Recall the case of Muhammed Abu al-Hawa (three links), who was murdered in April 2006 for selling land to Jews in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Abu Tor.  And of course that explains why when they are discovered selling land to Jews, ‘Palestinians’ will inevitably deny it (in collaboration with Israeli ‘peace groups’ of course) as was the case with Shalom House in Hebron from which the Jewish residents were ultimately expelled in December 2008.

Let’s go to the videotaped evidence of that sale.”

Ahhh….the religion of peace!  These are the guys that the U.N, and Obama are forcing Israel to surrender to.

U.S. Bill To Require U.N. Accountability!

Yesterday, JTA reported that Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R) sponsored a Legislation promoting United Nations reform, which could require withholding U.S. contributions to the U.N relief agency assisting Palestinian refugees.  As of yesterday, it had 39 co-sponsors in the House of Representatives.

(Thank You: Carl In Jerusalem)

un-building-new-yorkUN reform bill garners 39 co-sponsors

The United Nations Transparency, Accountability and Reform Act, sponsored by House Foreign Affairs Committee ranking Republican member Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (Fla.), would require that the United States withhold U.S. contributions to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency unless certification could be provided that nobody associated with, or receiving money from, the agency is associated with terror.

UNRWA has said it doesn’t have the resources to check the background of everyone affiliated with the group, but it does run the names of some of its employees by Israeli intelligence services. A recent report released by the pro-Israel Washington Institute for Near East Policy found that very few of the agency’s 15,000 employees in the West Bank and Gaza Strip are affiliated with terror groups, but said that the agency has allowed itself to become politicized.

The legislation would also require an audit of five other U.N. entities devoted to the Palestinians as well as any other entity that “results in duplicative efforts or fails to ensure balance” in its approach to Israeli-Palestinian issues, and would require the United States to withhold from its regular contributions to the world body the amount of money expended on such duplicative agencies.

Among the other provisions of the bill is one which states that the U.S. must press the U.N. Secretary General to issue a directive requiring all U.N. employees and employees of U.N. agencies to officially and publicly condemn anti-Semitic statements made in U.N.-affiliated forums, and would require any of those employees to be subject to punitive actions for making any anti-Semitic statements or references.

_______________________________________________________________________

Before you say “finally” or even type your post here, contact your Representatives repeatedly and get them to support this bill!  We should not let this opportunity slip through our fingers.

Don’t just sit there…DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

Contact your Congress person, (both parties) and tell them to sponsor and support this bill.

Then contact your State’s Senators, (both parties) and tell them to support this bill if it gets to the Senate, and/or to otherwise create their own!

Lastly, thank Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R).

UNWRA: The Lords Of Misery

UNRWA perpetuates “Palestinian-Arab” refugee status, and promotes Terrorism for its own benefit.  It should come as now surprise but this UN collusion with Terrorism is being paid for solely by The West.

Israel slams UN ‘provocation’ at Erez

From Jpost

UNRWA LogoThe office of the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories slammed UNRWA on Monday and accused the United Nations organization of creating a provocation at the Kerem Shalom crossing by bringing trucks to it carrying supplies that had not been approved by Israel for entry into the Gaza Strip.

On Monday, the Kerem Shalom crossing was opened for the delivery of humanitarian supplies to Gaza, including some 50 trucks with supplies provided by UNRWA. The night before, UNRWA had asked the Gaza Coordination and Liaison Administration to permit the transfer of paper and plastic bags to Gaza, and had been told the request was under consideration.

Despite not having received approval, UNRWA, COGAT officials said, drove several trucks carrying the supplies from Jerusalem to the crossing and coordinated their arrival with several media outlets, which filmed the trucks being turned away.

COGAT Spokesman Maj. Peter Lerner called the incident a “regretful provocation” by the UNRWA spokesman’s office and added that while Israel may eventually approve the transfer of office supplies to Gaza, it was currently focusing on humanitarian aid.

“UNRWA receives preferential treatment at the crossings, and today alone 50 of its trucks were allowed in,” Lerner said.
