Should Israel reoccupy Gaza?


Should Israel reoccupy Gaza?

Once again Quora collapsed my answer for something they call "Be Nice, be Respectful. Here is my original answer

Well, until 1890 there were no Arabs in Gaza and there was quiet. Arabs came from Saudi Arabia and Egypt (according to Hamas) and forced out the Jews there. But there was quiet.

When the League of Nations redefined the Middle East, Gaza was supposed to be a part of the Jewish State. Still quiet.

Israeli Statehood was declared in the area legally and historically designated for the Israel and Gaza was included. Egypt invaded Israel through Gaza and controlled it as occupied land. The 1949 ceasefire agreement claimed that this was not a border but a ceasefire line. The Egyptians knew it was Israel land that they were occupying. However Israel accepted this occupation. Was their quiet? No!! Aided by the Egyptians the Arabs launched multiple terror attacks and created Fatah which launched multiple attacks from the area.

Along comes the 1956 war and Israel occupies the Gaza Strip. For 8 months there is quiet.

Under pressure form the UN, Israel retreats and a UN contingent is placed there. Once again there are attacks from Gaza and the Arab belligerency increases until 1967 when Nasser even said that they will wipe Israel off the face of the earth. He then orders the UN to remove their troops from Gaza and Sinai.

After 1967 Gaza was returned to Israel and there is quiet.

2005 Israel leaves Gaza and returns to the 1949 cease fire line removing every Israeli!!! What happens? Terror, terror and more terror!!! Tens of Thousands of missile attacks on Israel with no provocation.

So, when Israel is in control, there is quiet. When Israel is not in control, attacked with terror. If Israel returns Gaza to our control, we will have relative quiet. However why would we want to do that? The Arabs of Gaza selected an oppressive regime whose sole aim is to make the Gazans’ life a misery while getting rich on foreign money. The Hamas leaders are billionaires thanks to the EU.

Israel will be blamed for Gaza, no matter if we are in control there or not.

Jerusalem is the Capital of Palestine


Jerusalem is the Capital of Palestine

Now we have a case where we see true philatelic propaganda, again.

President Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital as it should have under international law. However President Trump went a step further and moved the American Embassy to Jerusalem, in accordance with American law, something that many former presidents said they would do, before their election but conveniently refused to execute while in office, for whatever reason.

The Arab league, probably as a result of the usual Palestinian threats, decided to retaliate. At a press conference held on Monday 24th December 2018 in Cairo, to present the activities of actions of the Arab League, they announced the issuance of a joint omnibus stamp issue called "Jerusalem the capital of Palestine" for 2019.  The Assistant Secretary-General of the Arab League, Hossam Zaki, said:

A joint Arab stamp theme will be issued in 2019 bearing the slogan (Jerusalem, the capital of Palestine), the coordination and technical preparation is currently underway 

The stamp was designed in Algeria and has already been issued by Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, Morocco, Egypt, Algeria and Tunisia.



The stamp design depicts the Dome of the Rock, Omar Mosque, the adopted flag of the "Palestinians"  (although the flag has nothing whatsoever to do with the Holy Land) and two doves holding the flag. Nowhere does it mention East Jerusalem.

Forget the 3000 years of proven, documented Jewish history. Forget the fact that for hundreds of years, Jerusalem was a predominantly Jewish city, that is immaterial when it comes to Arab Propaganda.

Now, let me ask you. At what point in history was Jerusalem an Arab city? What gives the Palestinians a right to demand Jerusalem as their capital?

Look at this issue by the Palestinian Authority in 2017:



May I ask you where you see Israel here?

The Arabs keep trying to change facts through propaganda. Here is another similar post: Jerusalem is eternal capital of Palestine. Unfortunately there are people who believe their nonsense.

This is what I have to say to people:
