On Quora there are many fake IDs and their moderators are also very much against Israel. Recently once of my posts was deleted because in their opinion it was hate speech.
There is only one thing on their mind and they have stated it since their creation in April 1968. They want the eradication of the State of Israel and all Jews worldwide:
”The Day of Judgment will not come until Muslims fight the Jews, when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say, 'O Muslim, O servant of God, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.' Only the Gharkad tree would not do that, because it is one of the trees of the Jews.~Hamas Covenant”
Need it any clearer? Ok, look at this and look for Israel:
My answer was deleted but can still be viewed here. Is it hate speech?
”You are entitled to your own opinion, you are not entitled to your own facts”
People on Facebook make many comments that are derogatory against Israel and Jews and fall under the world definition of anti-Semitism which is the Three D Test. The three Ds stand for:
Delegitimization of Israel
Demonization of Israel
Subjecting Israel to Double standards.
They should not be allowed on Social Media. If you report their comment to Facebook, your report is rejected because it does not go against their community standards. In other words, hatred against Jews does not go against their standards.
But if you make even the slightest comment about Hamas or Palestinians, attacking you and Israel retaliating you are put it what has become known as Facebook jail. Very often you don't even understand what you said wrong and their is no way to appeal.
It starts off with 24 hours, then 72 hours, then a week and then a month.
How long are people going to stay silent?
You be the judge:

Trump was doing very well. Business was good. He had China, Iran, the UN and NATO and the Palestinians in the corner where they should be.
The UN wants to be a world government, China wants to be an economic superpower. Also a part of Bill Gates’ and George Sorros’ world view.
Who stands in their way , Trump and Bibi!
So what happened? Bill Gates had invested millions in a Lab in Wuhan, China. Dr. Anthony Stephen Fauci is the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. During the Obama regime, they authorized a transfer of a $3.7million grant to the same laboratory!
The USA have elections coming up and Trump seems unbeatable. He has fixed a lot of what Obama destroyed. The economy is booming, unemployment is down and America is being handled as a business. The Democratic Party has no feasible candidate to stand up to him.
So what happened? A virus is released! From the same lab that people are invested in and the Chinese hush it up. In 2017 Fauci warned Trump that a pandemic would happen in a few years, prior knowledge? So Fauci as an advisor to Trump does not give him the full view and people start dying. The Democratic ruled areas, such as New York, started doing stupid things, such as moving Corona patients into old age homes,and the deaths start rising. Trump is blamed!!!!
Where were the most deaths? Where were the harshest lockdowns? Democratic controlled areas!! Yet Trump is blamed. They forgot that the Federal government gives guidelines but each state does what they want!!
That is not all, a rogue cop kills a criminal who he had a history with and BLM and Antifa go wild. Where? Democratic controlled areas!!!
Of the Democratic candidates who can be controlled? Bernie Sanders was a front runner but his socialist outlook was too extreme. But Joe Biden can be easily controlled, through his son Hunter. Just the same as Kerry was controlled by Iran via his son in law, there can be no other explanation for signing the most ridiculous agreement since 1938 and hiding it from the Congress.
Who is pushing Biden, the main stream media. If anyone had listened to Biden’s campaign, they should have heard Obama talking. Have the media ever checked something Biden said?
Let us move to Israel. Bibi is strong, country is doing well and he has the support of the American president and the Russian president. Along comes a virus just as elections are being held and Bibi handles it like a pro. What are they going to do?
Who is Bibi’s biggest opponent in the elections? A merge of two parties which separately had no chance. Made up of three ex Chief of Staffs and an ex Journalist. Two of the three Chiefs of Staff were useless, Gantz and Ayalon (as Defense Minister) were responsible for all the failures of the 2014 war with Hamas according to a report by Ofer Shelah. Gantz was a total failure as the manager of a company with a lot of mistery around the dealings with the Police Chief. However the media thought that he could stand up to Bibi. Strangely it seems that every time he gave an interview, it was taped, or else he had a wire, the same as Biden. Together with Lapid who was a journalist and had a single ministry, minister of finance for which he was a total failure. Boggles the mind to think that people thought this would work or how people can vote for them.
Soon after a government was established, a new movement was started, the Black Flag movement of Ehud Barak, the worst prime minister Israel ever had. Where the money came from is anyone’s guess, but the anti Israel New Israel Fund is suspected. Who funds the NIF, apart from others, George Sorros. Who is the Israeli manager? Daphna Liel’s mother, the news presenter! Ever wonder why so much attention is being given to a few thousand protesters? In addition the flags are very similar to the black flags movement in England.
so what else do we have? Extreme Islam controls Europe today. Do something about islam and you feel the wrath of the Turkish
despot or the Iranian infiltrators.
Now it turns out that the russian president putin may be resigning in January, according to a British tabloid, the Daily Mail (who knows).
In my own opinion, what we are seeing here is an evil movement that is trying to rule the world by any means necessary.

The Palestinians issued a postage stamp as they do every so often. This one was entitled "The Centenary of the first Palestinian stamp". The stamp was designed by an Egyptian in 1917 and had the overprint, EEF which they claimed stood for Education, Endowment and Foundation.
Here are the problems:
It was designed in England and issued by General Allenby's army in Egypt.
It was known as the EEF which stood for Allenby's Egyptian Expeditionary Force
The issue had nothing to do with Palestine. This is not the first time that they try to distort facts to try and prove that they have a past.

What kind of terrorism Palestinian’s engage in that are most difficult for Israelis to combat effectively?
Once again Quora collapsed my answer for something they call "Be Nice, be Respectful". I appealed and it was rejected. Here is my original answer
Five kinds:
Knife terror - you do not know if you hire a "Palestinian" worker whether he is going to pull a knife and attack you. Or whether one is walking behind you and takes a knife out and tries to kill you. Reminds me of the lawlessness of South Africa, especially in the late 1990’s.
Car ramming - you are waiting at a bus and all of a sudden a "Palestinian" driver tries to kill everyone at the bus stop or something similar.
Balloon arson - to take a bunch of balloons and attach incendiary devices to them to try and kill children is beyond belief.
Attempts to change history to suit themselves, such as Jesus was a Palestinian, or to approach the UN and erase all remnants of Jewish history in this land&
Symbols - they try to eradicate Israel by claiming everything for themselves. Here is one of their official stamps
Where is Israel
”You are entitled to your own opinion, you are not entitled to your own facts”
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.

Edited: OK, as expected, I was moderated for Be Nice Be Respectful and as expected, it was rejected.
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?
The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it~George Orwell
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:
“Evil prevails when good men do nothing”
”A lie told often enough becomes the truth”
”You are entitled to your own opinion, you are not entitled to your own facts”
Israelis: As former refugees, do you feel sympathy for Palestinian refugees?
This question was asked on Quora recently and as per usual I was moderated for their fake "Be Nice, Be respectful" policy. Here is my answer, you be the judge:
There are no Palestinian refugees. Not a single one, so how can you feel sorry for them?
There are Arab refugees who left the Palestine Mandate upto 1948, but they never considered themselves Palestinians as that was an insult. Apart from which Palestine was not a name of a country. Whenever people referred to Palestinians, they were referring to the Jews.
There were 472,000 Arab refugees from what was Palestine Mandate, but 850,000 Jews expelled from Arab lands. Where are your tears for them? They are real refugees and not people who were told to leave by their own people, hoping for a quick victory.
Today there are only 15000 of the original Arab refugees left. Why would they want to come to a place that they have not lived in for over 72 years? When Israel stretched out its hand to them in 1948, why did they not return? At least they had an option, the Jews expelled from Arab lands with nothing but their clothes did not have an option. Where are your tears for them? Everybody knows why you are not be crying Jews who were expelled.
Now look at the absurdity of your question, we were invaded on all sides by Arab invaders and we won and you want us to feel sorry because we won? Do you know what the Nakba is? The Nakba is the biggest defeat of mighty Islamic armies by a Jewish army! That is because they did not manage to eradicate us from our land.
Just as a matter of note, for 4000 years Jews have been in this land. Jews are the original Palestinian refugee, but Jews have documented presence here. When any invader / occupier arrived they saw Jews here.
Edited: someone called me arrogant because of my statements. Sorry people but I know facts are irrelevant on Quora. It is not a question of agreeing or disagreeing with me as my facts are very well documented. They are not a narrative which keeps changing.
I get moderated often for stating facts that people do not like because they have bought into the baseless narrative.
This is what I have to say to people:
“Evil prevails when good men do nothing”
”A lie told often enough becomes the truth”
”you are entitled to your own opinion, you are not entitled to your own facts”
There is no such thing as Palestine and there are no such entity called Palestinians. It is a pure invention, the biggest fake news of the 20th century. Let me explain.
The Holy Land belongs to the Jews, historically, legally, morally and religiously, according to Islam, Christianity and Judaism. Jews have documented CONTINUED existence here for over 3000 years.
When the Romans invaded the area, they fought the Jewish Kingdoms and occupied Judea. After the Second Judean Roman war, the Romans renamed the area Palistinae as an affront to another ancient enemy of the Jews, the Greek Philistines who had invaded the Gaza area but were defeated by us. No Philistines existed when the Romans invaded, so if anyone tells you that they are descendants of the Philistines, you know that they have no idea what they are talking about. Almost as if a neighbor comes to you and says they are descendants from travelers from Mars.
OK, so in all the maps, there is Judea and Samaria and Gaza and all are marked as Jewish areas. Jerusalem, Hebron, Safed and others are all Jewish cities with small Arab (christian and Muslim) minorities. We have occupations and occupations but there is no country named Palestine. We even have massacres such as the Arab massacres of all the Jews in Safed in 1839, although those who fled came back. And in Hebron in 1929 and some are still today proud of the way they massacred the Jews there, but not a single Palestinian.
In 1919, the League of nations divided up the middle east and created Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Syria and Iraq and ratified this in treaties, Palestine was given to Britain as a mandate to create a Jewish Homeland and Syria was given to France.
Syria was then divided into Syria and Lebanon and the British created Jewish Palestine and Arab Palestine. Arab Palestine became Jordan and Jewish Palestine became Israel:
But there was no country named Palestine and if you tried to call an Arab as a Palestinian, you would be in big trouble. The reason was because Palestine was considered a colonial invention and Jews were considered Palestinians and the area that the Arabs lived in, in their opinion, it was Southern Syria.
In 1948, Israel is created and the Nakba occurs. The Nakba is the greatest military defeat in Islamic history by a Jewish army! This is despite what you have been told, but this is all proven in history books. (Read this) But no Palestine! No Palestinian people.
In 1967, Israel wins another war and the Arabs call it a Naksa, a setback, and they understand that they cannot destroy us on the battlefield. So, the PLO creates a Palestinian people with no history, but a narrative and they try to push this narrative through the world funded by Arab money, to convince people like you that they have rights, despite having none.
In 1964, they rescinded all claims to any area occupied by Jordan and Egypt (as clearly state in the PLO covenant) and in 1968, they are claiming it is their ancestral homeland!
They were created purely to destroy Israel’s claim to the area and to take Jewish history, a case of stolen identity. This is not me saying this, this is said by the people who created this identity.
In 1977, PLO executive committee member Zahir Muhsein said:
“The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. … 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.”
They press their narrative, peacefully and violently to anyone they can and people soak it in.
This goes on and on and money is poured in and Arafat and others become billionaires. Today, the unelected leaders are all billionaires thanks to the UN, the EU and the Arab States. More than that, none of them are actually from the Holy Land, or what you call Palestine. Abbas has Iraqi heritage, his family lived there for thousands of years, Saeb Erekat is of Saudi Arabian heritage even Congresswoman Rashid Tlaib has no heritage, her family are Syrian and Jordanian. But Hamas said it the best:
Now the Arab States have seen that the Palestinians are not interested in a state of their own. They have seen what happens in countries which host these invented people. They tried to take control of Jordan (which is actually Arab Palestine), they tried to take over Lebanon (ousted by Israel) and they tried to take over Tunisia.They want to see the end of this invented conflict so that they can have better ties with Israel who is the only stabilizer in the region and the only one not controlled by Iran.
Oil is no longer the no. 1 priority in the world today as there are more and more alternatives, so to throw billions of dollars at the “Palestinians” who do not appreciate what is done for them, is no longer a priority and many feel that the money can be better used in-house.
Every year on May 15, Palestinians and their supporters mark what they call Nakba Day or the "Catastrophe". They claim that it is the commemoration of the displacement of the Palestinians as a result of the creation of Israel. According to UN sources between 472000 and 700,000 Palestinians fled or were expelled as a result of the 1948 war. In their eyes the re-establishment of the ancient Jewish homeland was a Nakba, or Catastrophe as they call it, akin to the Holocaust. This has been drummed into Palestinian culture and the media that promotes it for years, some people even saying from 1948. But is this correct?
The fact of the matter is that there was no Nakba Day from 1948 to 1998 when it was inaugurated by Arafat. Since 1998 the Arabs have been commemorating Nakba Day on the 15th May. The absurdity of this date was this was barely four after signing the Oslo Accords which was to be the groundwork for peace. Sad but true.
But is this the real meaning of the Nakba or another propaganda attempt by the master of propaganda?
A Syrian professor, Constantine Zurayk who was vice-president of the American University of Beirut, in July 1948, used the phrase Nakba to describe the failure of the mighty Islamic armies to defeat a Jewish army. He said that it was the greatest military defeat in Islamic history. At this time the Nakba was not a catastrophe but disaster. He reiterated this in his book entitled, "The Meaning of the Disaster" which he published in 1955. Remember that in the eyes of Islam, their religion was created to replace Judaism.
However there was an even earlier use of the term Nakba. In a book entitled, "The Arab awakening: the story of the Arab national movement" written 1946 by George Antonius, he makes the claim that the ‘Year of the Catastrophe’ among Arabs referred to 1920, when European colonial powers partitioned the Ottoman Empire into a series of separate states along lines of their own choosing.
“The year 1920 has an evil name in Arab annals: it is referred to as the Year of the Catastrophe.... It saw the first armed risings that occurred in protest against the post-War settlement imposed by the Allies on the Arab countries. In that year, serious outbreaks took place in Syria, Palestine, and Iraq.”
So what is the Nakba Day? The division of the Middle East into countries such as Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria and Israel? Or the defeat of the mighty Islamic armies by a Jewish army? Or the creation of the Jewish State? Maybe it is just another reason to play victimhood?
Jerusalem is the eternal capital of the Palestinian Nation
That is 100% true. That is the way that the nation that was invented in 1968 in Russia defined themselves and their capital. A strange statement to define your capital in an area which you have no control over. It is like someone defining the White House as his ancestral home.
Put that aside for a moment and let us try and understand why they defined it as such. It is because it has been drummed into the Arab minds that Jerusalem is one of their three Holy places after both Mecca and Medina. But is it?
The Jewish connection to Jerusalem is well documented, not only in the bible but also with a plethora of archaeological artifacts and evidence. Judaism made Jerusalem a holy city over three thousand years ago and through all that time Jews remained steadfast to it. Jews pray in its direction, mention its name constantly in prayers and in the the Passover service we say "Next year in Jerusalem,". In a wedding ceremony we smash a glass to remember the destruction of Jerusalem and we even have fast days. It is also the only city with a Jewish majority for the past few hundred years.
The name Jerusalem means City of Peace
Christians have a claim as this is the site of the via dolorosa and the site where Jesus was reported to be buried. However despite three crusades to rid Jerusalem from non-Christians, the Catholic pope has always resided in the Vatican. The Christian connection is also strong.
But what about the Islamic connection? It is not mentioned in the Holy Koran. The entire Holy Land belongs to the Jews according to the Koran and Jerusalem was there at the time. The basis of the Islamic claim is Sura 17 which claims "Glory to Him who caused His servant to travel by night from the Sacred Mosque to the al-masgid al-aqsa, whose precincts We have blessed, in order to show him some of Our Signs, He is indeed the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing". Al-masgid al-aqsa means the "Furthest mosque". Mohammed was reported to have traveled to the Al-masgid al-aqsa on a mythical winged beast with the body of a horse and the head of a woman known as the Buraq. The Muslims claim that the Al-masgid al-aqsa in in Jerusalem, however Mohammed died in 632 and the Al Aksa mosque in Jerusalem was built a hundred years later. Jerusalem was only invaded by the Muslims five years after Mohammed's death.
When the Muslims first invaded the Holy Land and occupied Jerusalem, for the first few hundred years they called Jerusalem Bayt al-Maqdis or Bayt al-Muqaddas which is taken from the Hebrew Bayt HaMikdash, meaniung the Jewish Temple
2009 was defined by the Arab League as Jerusalem, capital of Arab culture
According to Mordechai Kedar, an Israeli scholar of Arabic culture, and a lecturer at Bar-Ilan University, early Islamic sources state that the "al Aqsa Mosque" (literal meaning: 'the farther mosque'), was one of two mosques located near Ji'irrana which is now a part of Saudi Arabia. One of the mosques was called "al-Masjid al-Adna," meaning the "closer mosque" and the other "al-Masjid al-Aqsa", the "farther mosque." When the Koran refers to the al Aqsa mosque while telling the story of the Prophet Muhammad's night time journey from the "holy mosque" of Mecca to al Aqsa, that is, the "farther mosque," it is referring to the mosque in Ji'irrana.
So the Muslim claim is in a word, dubious. Muslims do not pray towards Jerusalem, they pray towards Mecca. The Haj is to Mecca. When the Holy Land was conquered by the Islamic invaders and then occupied by the Muslims, its capital was Ramle, 30 miles to the west of Jerusalem, signifying that Jerusalem meant nothing to them.
So where if any is the religious significance? So, with what right do the Palestinians demand Jerusalem as their capital? When a part of Jerusalem was occupied by Jordanians, the newly created PLO, or Palestinian Liberation Organization, the sole representative of the Palestinian people (as defined by the Arab League and the United Nations), rescinded all claims to areas occupied by Jordan.
Article 24. This Organization does not
exercise any regional sovereignty over the West Bank in the Hashemite
Kingdom of Jordan, on the Gaza Strip or the Himmah Area.~PLO Covenant
1964
So, again, with what right do the Palestinians demand Jerusalem as their capital? The answer is simple - with the Palestinian belligerency and threats, they can do anything they want and no one, until President Trump, has put a stop to them.
Is there any legal justification for the creation of a Palestinian state?
A question was posted on Quora.com as this: "Since the Palestinians rejected the partition plan, is there any legal justification for the creation of a Palestinian state?". I will endeavor to answer that question.
The justification of an Arab Palestinian state exists. It was created in 1922 and ratified in the Treaty of Lausanne. It was originally named “Arab Government of the East”. Today you know it as Jordan. It was created as Arab Palestine and even used overprinted Mandate Palestine stamps.
The justification for Jewish Palestine was defined in San Remo in 1920 and included what is now Jordan. The San Remo Resolution, 1920 (a binding international agreement) stated:
The High Contracting Parties agree to entrust, by application of the provisions of Article 22, the administration of Palestine, within such boundaries as may be determined by the Principal Allied Powers, to a Mandatory, to be selected by the said Powers. The Mandatory will be responsible for putting into effect the declaration originally made on November 8, 1917, by the British Government, and adopted by the other Allied Powers, in favour of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people
A particular point of interest is article 6 of the Mandate
Article 6.
The Administration of Palestine, while ensuring that the rights and position of other sections of the population are not prejudiced, shall facilitate Jewish immigration under suitable conditions and shall encourage, in co-operation with the Jewish agency. referred to in Article 4, close settlement by Jews, on the land, including State lands and waste lands not required for public purposes.
This is actually the law enabling Jewish "settlement" activity. In essence it was the British governors who failed to adhere to this law.
To appease Ibn Saud, who later became King of Saudi Arabia, the British chopped off a part of the mandate and made it a monarchy with one of Ibn Saud’s relatives. This was also in accordance with the League of Nations mandate:
ARTICLE 25. In the territories lying between the Jordan and the eastern boundary of Palestine as ultimately determined, the Mandatory shall be entitled, with the consent of the Council of the League of Nations, to postpone or withhold application of such provisions of this mandate as he may consider inapplicable to the existing local conditions, and to make such provision for the administration of the territories as he may consider suitable to those conditions, provided that no action shall be taken which is inconsistent with the provisions of Articles 15, 16 and 18″~Palestine Mandate
Professor Eugene V. Rostow, an American legal scholar and public
servant, Dean of Yale Law School and served as Under Secretary of State
for Political Affairs under President Lyndon B. Johnson, stated that
after the partition plan was rejected by Arabs the only legally binding
document remains is British Mandate for Palestine (legal instrument)
which states:
“Whereas the Principal Allied Powers
have also agreed that the Mandatory should be responsible for putting
into effect the declaration originally made on November 2nd, 1917, by
the Government of His Britannic Majesty, and adopted by the said Powers,
in favour of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the
Jewish people, it being clearly understood that nothing should be done
which might prejudice the civil and religious rights ( but not political ) of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political ( the word political is especially mentioned ) status enjoyed by Jews in any other country
Nothing about any other entity to the west of the Jordan river besides the Jewish National Home .
Now we get to the United Nations itself. The UN official charter Article 80 ( a binding international agreement)
Except as may be agreed upon in individual trusteeship agreements, made under Articles 77, 79, and 81, placing each territory under the trusteeship system, and until such agreements have been concluded, nothing in this Chapter shall be construed in or of itself to alter in any manner the rights whatsoever of any states or any peoples or the terms of existing international instruments to which Members of the United Nations may respectively be parties.
This in effect means that the partition plan of 1947 was illegal and non-binding. Whether the Arabs accepted or rejected it means nothing, it was illegal under international law. Under the law, the UN agreed to accept all decisions of the League of Nations meaning the boundaries of Arab Palestine and Jewish Palestine.
May 15th 1948, the British Mandate for Palestine ended and the neighboring Arab states invaded Israel and so the Arab occupation began.At the end of this war in which the Arabs had hoped to erase Israel there were ceasefire discussions. The Arabs demanded that it would not be a border. The 1949 Armistice Agreement, also known as the ‘green line”.
The Armistice Demarcation Line is not to be construed in any sense as a political or territorial boundary, and is delineated without prejudice to rights, claims and positions of either Party to the Armistice as regards ultimate settlement of the Palestine question."
Take note: the so-called 1967 border is not a border but a ceasefire line.
When the PLO was created in 1965, they specifically said that the
area illegally occupied by Jordan and Egypt were not a part of their
demands. After the loss in 1967, the PLO covenant was altered)
Article 24. This Organization does not
exercise any regional sovereignty over the West Bank in the Hashemite
Kingdom of Jordan, on the Gaza Strip or the Himmah Area.~PLO Covenant
1964
People have said that after 1967, Israel was in violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention, part IV which deals with occupied territory.
Article. 49. Individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory to the territory of the Occupying Power or to that of any other country, occupied or not, are prohibited, regardless of their motive.
If people claim that Israel violates that convention, then why were they silent when Jordan occupied Judea and Samaria? Secondly, what occupied territory? You cannot occupy your own territory. In addition, it is talking about deportations, transfers etc. Explain how that is relevant? In addition, the section deals with sovereign states. That would be Israel and what other state? The Jordanians occupied the area illegally, so what other state?
All that being said, the so-called "Palestinian" Arabs do not want to live with Jews. Does Israel behave like the Spaniards when the Catalonians elected not to be a part of Spain and reject their demand? Or do we say, "OK, we signed an agreement and area A and B is yours, do whatever you want there". Will the Arabs accept that?
What are the pros and cons of a two state solution for Israel and the Palestinian people?
This question was posted on Quora.com. I posted an answer and the moderators decided that I violated their policy of "be respectful and be nice" and collapsed it. Perhaps they are correct that in this case I am not respectful to the Palestinian people. I am reposting here so that you can be the judge. Here is the link to the original article: What are the pros and cons of a two state solution for Israel and the Palestinian people?. If you have access to Quora, please upvote my answer.
What defines the so-called Palestinian people? Are they a people by definition or by political design? The name Palestinian belongs only to the Jews of Judea, simple fact.
Now, look at the “Palestinian people”:
Do they have their own language?
Do they have their own culture?
Do they have their own history?
Do they have their own religion?
Do they have their own flag?
The answer to all of that is NO. The areas that they live in have belonged to the Jewish people for thousands of years. Up until 1948, the area known today as the West bank was known as Judea and Samaria. All proven facts.
Two state solution? Look at the facts. When the PLO was founded in 1964, they specifically declared that the area occupied by Jordan and Egypt was not a part of their future demands, that includes what you refer to as East Jerusalem and the Jewish Holy Places.
Article 24. This Organization does not exercise any regional sovereignty over the West Bank in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, on the Gaza Strip or the Himmah Area. Its activities will be on the national popular level in the liberational, organizational, political and financial fields.
Look at Yassir Arafat the leader of the PLO and then the PA for many years:
And look at another member of the PLO:
Look at the Fatah maps - see any two state there? look at the PA insignia - any two state? Look at their official logo: Palestine Liberation Organization. Hamas and Fatah all said that any solution is temporary, a hudna. So the con is simple, there is little hope for peace.
What Israel must do is to withdraw from Area A and B and make that the border. They can self-govern that. Oh wait, tried that, it was called Oslo A and B. What a proven failure. Billions of dollars poured into that area and instead of building a nation, they created pure terror and billionaires.
Theoretical pros for Israel:
Peace or at least cold peace like we have with Jordan
Less terrorism thanks to an international border. However leaving Gaza has shown us that that is wishful thinking.
Why does Israel want to shift the capital to Jerusalem?
This question was seriously posted on Quora.com. I posted an answer and the moderators decided that I violated their policy of "be respectful and be nice" and collapsed it. I am reposting here so that you can be the judge. Here is the link to the original article: Why does Israel want to shift the capital to Jerusalem. If you have access to Quora, please upvote my answer.
Questions like this never cease to amaze me. It shows a deep lack of knowledge. I am not sure where you got the idea from that Jerusalem is not the capital of Israel, the media maybe? Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi Minister of Propaganda said:
"If you tell a lie big enough, and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it"~Joseph Goebbels
This question is proof of that.
Jerusalem is and as always been the capital of Israel and the Jewish people. No one else has any valid claim to the city. Do you know how long it has been the capital? 3000 years!
It was the capital of the Jewish Kingdom of Judea and the symbol of Judea exists in Jerusalem today.
Now, two questions for you:
Who has the right to define where your capital city is? The country where the city is situated or someone else?
Apart from Israel and the Jewish people, has Jerusalem ever been the capital of any other country? Or even nation?

Another anti-Israel Resolution at the Security Council
On Christmas eve, the Americans pushed for a Security Council vote against Israel which passed. Why did it pass? Because the Americans did not veto it. A day earlier, Egypt pushed for the same vote but withdrew it probably because of President elect Trump. So, who asked for it in the end? New Zealand, a Christian country, among others. Why is it relevant that New Zealand, a Christian country pushed for it? You will soon understand.
Why did Obama push for this? Why did Kerry push for this? Why did the Security Council allow this? All simple. They wanted to leave a mark on something. I would say that it is because of pure hatred and vindictiveness but I will not. Obama was a huge failure as a president. He took a 6 trillion dollar deficit and almost quadrupled it. China owes a huge chunk of the US national debt. What if they come to Trump and ask for him to repay the debt? The Security Council and Obama are responsible for the death of over half a million Syrians, yet instead of dealing with that, they condemn Israel for building in her own homeland. Can you fathom that? Pure hypocrisy.
The resolution against "settlements" is a joke, the wording is unbelievable and actually goes against all international law, if the UN had any idea what international law is. It also goes against previous binding Security Council resolutions such as 242. Strangely Russia and China are occupying nations so why would they let this resolution pass? Quite unbelievable.
Let us look at some of the text of the resolution:
Reaffirms that the establishment by Israel of settlements in the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967, including East Jerusalem, has no legal validity and constitutes a flagrant violation under international law and a major obstacle to the achievement of the two-State solution and a just, lasting and comprehensive peace; This statement is an affront to any logic. It goes against the law written down in 1921. What Palestinian territory? There was no Palestinian territory. When the PLO was created in 1964, they claimed that the area occupied by Jordan which people now call the West Bank, was not a part of their demands. East Jerusalem was Jewish for 4000 years. Actually King David paid money for it, although he had no need to. Why does it matter that New Zealand is a Christian country and this was a nice gift? Have you read the bible? Even the old testament? Isn't New Zealand itself an occupying power? Isn't America with its own occupation of Texas? China? Russia? Spain with its control of Catalonia? Catalonia recently demanded to be free from Spain, but Madrid rejected this.
Reiterates its demand that Israel immediately and completely cease all settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, and that it fully respect all of its legal obligations in this regard; This statement is an affront to any logic. It goes against the law written down in 1921. What occupied Palestinian territory? Since when was it occupied? Who are we occupying it from? Up until the Jordanian occupation, it was Judea and Samaria. If you want to use a legal term, you can refer to it as disputed territories.
Underlines that it will not recognize any changes to the 4 June 1967 lines, including with regard to Jerusalem, other than those agreed by the parties through negotiations; Hello, heard of 242? Oslo? Do you know that the 4th June 1967 line was simply a ceasefire line? The cease-fire agreements of 1949 that delimited them explicitly say that they are just the lines marking the locations of the armies when the shooting stopped. They are not borders meaning that they have no political significance. Do you know that it was the Arabs who insisted on this because they wanted to gain more territory in the future?
Stresses that the cessation of all Israeli settlement activities is essential for salvaging the two-State solution, and calls for affirmative steps to be taken immediately to reverse the negative trends on the ground that are imperiling the two-State solution; What two-state solution now?
Calls upon all States, bearing in mind paragraph 1 of this resolution, to distinguish, in their relevant dealings, between the territory of the State of Israel and the territories occupied since 1967; Well, now the BDS are going to have fun. Little wonder that BDS stands for Brain Dysfunction Syndrome.
What actually happened was that with the aid of Obama and the French, the Palestinians have hijacked every major UN institution! This is in total disrespect of every agreement they signed with Israel. New Zealand explained their un-Christian like action as Israeli settlements are “the single biggest threat to peace” and the “primary threat to the viability of the two-state solution." Are they being serious? Are they totally brain dead? Settlements? Not the fact that the Palestinians were offered statehood in 2000, 2009 and 2014 and turned to pure terror. Ukraine said they voted because it was balanced. Is everyone that stupid? What this resolution has shown is that terror works. Why should the Arabs negotiate? The UN just hands them everything on a platter.
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”― Edmund Burke
Barely 70 years ago the world defeated Nazis. Now pure evil has risen again, but this time far worse.
Can anyone trust the Obama administration? Will the world survive this new evil.
Whoever does not think that Islam has taken over America should read this blog. Forget the fact that President Obama refuses to recognize that Islam is behind the world terror in the past few years. The American government is riddled with Islamists and it is getting worse:
John Brennan, current head of the CIA converted to Islam while stationed in Saudi Arabia as I mentioned in a previous post. He even refers to Jerusalem as Al-Quds.
John Kerry's son-in-law is Iranian with family still in Iran. Tell me that did not influence the Iran nuclear deal.
Obama's top adviser, Valerie Jarrett, is a Muslim who was born in Iran where her parents still live.
Hillary Clinton's top adviser, Huma Abedin is a Muslim, whose mother and brother are involved in the now outlawed Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.
Hillary Clinton's new running mate, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, has a history of embracing Islamists. He
appointed a Hamas supporter to a state immigration commission; spoke at
a dinner honoring a Muslim Brotherhood terror suspect; and received
donations from well-known Islamist groups. He came under suspicion by the FBI more than once when the FBI was still allowed to investigate Islam.
Assistant Secretary for Policy Development for Homeland Security, Arif Aikhan, is a Muslim.
Homeland Security Adviser, Mohammed Elibiary, is a Muslim.
Obama adviser and founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Council, Salam al-Marayati, is a Muslim.
Obama's Sharia Czar, Imam Mohamed Magid, of the Islamic Society of North America is a Muslim.
Advisory Council on Faith-Based Neighborhood Partnerships, Eboo Patel, is a Muslim.
November 8, 2016, the day America fought back
Let us face it, Hilary Clinton was a very bad candidate as was Bernie Sanders. HRC's main advisor was a proponent of Sharia and so were many of her backers.
So people said "what difference does a few emails make?" or "so she made a mistake" and if the FBI did not find anything incriminating, she must be innocent. OK, people, wake up. She tried to destroy the emails. She destroyed 13 smartphones with a hammer. Suspicious? Even more suspicious was that Loretta Lynch, the DOJ, was also Bill Clinton's lawyer against all those women who accused him. He and Lynch met together and the next day she decides not to indict his wife? How about a rumor that says that the wife of the head of FBI was given money by the Clinton Foundation? Do I know if these are true or not, NOPE. But there is too much. One thing for sure, she does not know what the truth is. She also said that you must have two views, one public and one private and carry out your private views. Hello, that is the Islamic method.
If it is true or not that during her time as Secretary of State, people paid the Clinton Foundation for a meeting with her, I do not really know. I just know that her advisors are also pro J-Street and that is as bad as there is. George Sorros seems hell bent on destroying America. So America fought back. They wanted change. Has HRC or Obama condemned the riots? Not at all. Obama fueled them while on a trip to Europe, paid for by the American people. Any idea why he went to Europe? A lame duck president?
Donald Trump was not a good candidate, but with 400 million people, he was the best that America had to offer. I wonder if he is going to #DrainTheSwamp and get rid of the Islamic hold of America and make America great again?
I call for an international summit to discuss the issue of dividing France into two countries for two nations, the French nation which will retain the name Republic of France and the other nation will be the Islamic Caliphate of France with Paris as its capital. If the French do not agree, then it will be illegal for a person of French origin to live in occupied Paris. They must withdraw from Paris and all parts of Eastern and southern France before November 2017. If not, they will be in violation of international law.
Does this sound familiar to you? We have been saying the same idea for years. Although this is supposed to be a joke based on the idea of the upcoming French initiative in which they said that if Israel does not accept their conditions, they will recognize a Palestinian State on Israeli territory. Now, any idiot will say, unless you are a French politician or a member of the radical far-left, if that is the case, the Palestinians will get everything they demand, despite having absolutely no rights, not legally, historical, moral or religious, so why should they negotiate? Because the French want to feel important! Forget the small issue that the French initiative is in TOTAL VIOLATION of international law of which they are signatories, not one of the multitude of Islamic countries, but the French. They want to feel important, on the backs of others.
But in essence, do the Arabs want another failed state? They have rejected overtures very often. Who will line their pockets if they get a state? How will the leaders get their billions? Look at the billionaires: Ismail Haniya, Khaled Mashal, Mahmood Abbas and Saeb Arekat. Look at how Yassir Arafat milked the coffers to become a billionaire.
I call for an international summit to discuss the issue of dividing France into two nations for two peoples, the French nation which will retain the name Republic of France and the Islamic Caliphate of France with Paris as its capital.
Let us continue with my satire:
The terror attacks in France have shown that it is time to make necessary changes in France. No longer can the French accept living in terror. No longer must they execute without trial, poor Muslims who simply want to murder people. Muslims are clearly waging war on France to transform the county into Dar Al Islam and it is time that France must start negotiations with them. The world now realizes that France cannot do it themselves, so we call on the international summit. If they fail, we will divide France unilaterally as they did in the Middle East over a 100 years ago.
Isn't my attempt at humor similar to what is happening at the moment? As I have blogged before, Sharia Law divides the world into two domains Dar Al-Harb ( (territory of war or chaos) and Dar Al-Islam (territory of submission). Any place ruled by the laws of Islam even if the majority of the inhabitants are not Muslim is considered Dar Al Islam and no longer needs to be conquered.
Some people say that Israel should give the French a chance, should we trust the French? Well let us look at our history with France. During the first crusade (1096), a thousand years ago, the French placed Jews of Rouen in a Church and murdered them. Jews throughout France were at that time in great fear, and wrote to their brothers in the Rhine countries making known to them their terror and asking them to fast and pray. In the Rhineland thousands of Jews were killed by the crusaders. The French stole our property. Then there were expulsions, massacres, allowing us to return, expulsions, massacres, and a cycle. We stupidly did return. Who understands why? But hatred of Jews reigned for a thousand years in France. Dreyfus case anyone? That was only a 100 years ago. Holocaust? The French were willing partners. What about their actions against Israel since 1967? Will the French ever return all the money, land an other property they stole from us? Probably valued today as 1000 Trillion dollars. That would help my own bank account a bit. Jews have been living in France for more years than there was an Islamic presence in France, or even in Israel, should we also demand a part of France as a satellite of Israel?
Turkish President Erdogan wants to define Islamophobia as racism or a crime against humanity. He wants to put Islamophobia in the same category as anti-semitism. Interesting?
If you have a fear of open spaces or of being in crowded, public places like markets, you are agoraphobia. You will probably not go for a run in an open field, but that is your choice. You are not endangering anyone. If you are claustrophobic, you have a fear of closed space. Being in a lift scares you. Fair enough. You are not endangering anyone.
What is a phobia? A phobia is an irrational fear of something.
If you are homophobic, you have an irrational fear of gays. Unsure why you may have that, it is not as if they are going to attack you. Unless you are... On the other hand, there are many cases where gays are ganged upon and beaten. Sad but true.
To be anti something is to be against it.
Anti-semitism is being against Jews. Anti-Semitism, hostility toward or discrimination against Jews as a religious or racial group. This has manifested itself as pure hatred of Jews. Hitler tried to define Jews as a race. They are no more a race than Muslims are. Many Arabs today try to say that it it against them as well because they are also semitic. Simply total nonsense.
In Europe today we see that Jews are scared to walk alone. There are attacks against Jews, against synagogues etc. The same thing is happening in campuses all over the United States. Jews are scared to wear anything to show that they are Jewish. To be anti-Semitic today is a trend. People say that they are not anti-Semitic but anti-Israel. That is the most stupid thing I have ever heard. Even the late Martin Luther King agreed.
We all know that to be anti-Semitic is to be a racist although Jews are not a race, they are a nation, a people. This is in total contrast with the so called Palestinians who are neither a nation, a people or a
race. Fair enough, you hate Jews because it is trendy, but what about Islamophobia? Should that be defined as racism? Is Islam a race? Not by any definition! Is Islam a nation? Tell the Turks that they are not a nation or the Iranians.
What is Islamophobia? It is an irrational fear of Islam. That is what Turkish President Erdogan wants to define as a crime. Have you read the Koran? Have you seen what happens when God forbid you say something about Mohammed who was simply a prophet, a human being. If you do, you will no longer be around. Draw a cartoon about him, no! But to draw anti-Semitic cartoons is fine. Do anything against Islam and there are riots. Say anything against Islam and you will probably be beaten. But it is OK for them to say anything they want. Try and tell them to shut up. If you do not bend to their ways, you will be beaten or worse, maybe loose your head. Are women safe? Heard about mass rapes in Europe? Sweden used to be free but now Stockholm is the rape capital of the world. Sad.
Have you tried to walk through a Muslim neighborhood? What about during midday prayers? Scared? What about walking past or near a gathering of young Muslims? Do you feel safe?
Where do people come up with nonsense that Islam is the religion of peace? Where is there peace in Islam? OK, if you are a Muslim you will be at peace. Islam means surrender. Have they condemned their own terrorist attacks. Not all Muslims are terrorists, but almost ALL terrorists are Muslims. Ask yourselves why the wealthy countries in the Arabian Gulf have not taken in a single so-called Syrian Refugee?
What did Winston Churchill have to say about Islam, more than a century ago? Writing in "The River War", published in 1899, about the British retaking of Sudan, Churchill noted the threat of radical Islam:
Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen: all know how to die: but the influence of the religion paralyzes the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Islam, Churchill wrote, is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog.
In essence, nothing to do with the Arab Israel conflict!!!
Friends, I have read the Koran, a few times, I have seen how Muslims act and behave. I have seen their riots. I have watched the news, even left-wing news, opened my eyes.
I really do not have an irrational fear of Muslims, I have a purely rational fear of them for me and you. We are not Islamophobic, we are realistic.
Hundreds of thousands of refugees lately fled Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and even Bosnia, to reach Europe, demanding to go to places like Germany and England. Many tourists are saddened to see their favorite spots overrun by tent cities, people without running water etc.
Why is this happening? The answer is simple. For years there has been genocide is Syria. Europe did nothing. Refugees from Syria poured into Jordan and Turkey. Europe did nothing. Almost a million dead in Syria. Europe did nothing. Over 3 million refugees in Jordan and Turkey. Europe did nothing. Did no one think that when these places were full, they would not try to go to Europe? If you had stopped these massacres years ago, there would be no crisis. A true crisis. Even Putin claimed that this was to be expected. Has he offered to take any refugees in?
Unfortunately Europe is so bothered with a fake invented crisis called the Palestinians because it can be blamed on Israel. Even as they trying to deal with a true humanitarian crisis, Eurabia is delving into rebooting the Israel Palestine talks. They do not understand that this is an invention, fueled by the Arabs.
Why is no Gulf state taking in these refugees? Because they do not want them. These refugees will change the face of Europe making it more Islamic than ever. Even intellectually challenged people like Emma Thompson says that Britain must take in refugees. She claimed that Britain is 'racist' for not taking in more refugees. Easy for her to say living in her home in Hollywood. A talbacker commented: "Muslims who live here are always putting down our culture, and hardly any speak out against the lunatics killing people here in the name of their religion. I think we're idiots to take more in, because when they get here they will try to turn our country into the one they wanted to leave." This is the same Emma Thompson who wanted to boycott Israel’s Habima Theater troupe in London accusing Habima of having “a shameful record of involvement with illegal Israeli settlements in Occupied Palestinian Territory". I believe that Thompson is Cambridge educated which says little about their acceptance level.
Even the head of the invented leader, Abbas, got on the bandwagon and is demanding that Israel allow Syrian refugees of Palestinian origin return to the West Bank. Forget the fact that most Palestinians from the Judea and Syria are of Syrian origin, so Syria is their true home. Forget that. Forget the fact that Palestinian nation was invented in 1968 and did not exist before that. Forget the fact that Abbas' legal tenure as President ended in January 2009 making him simply another dictator. Forget all that, remember only that in May 2015, Abbas refused to allow Syrian refugees into Judea and Samaria. He said, "it's better they die in Syria than give up their right of return" to Israel." Forget the fact that they have no right of return, it was not their land at any stage, But why is Abbas suddenly backtracking? Anything to do with his new $13 million palace paid for by European Union money which should have been used to help his people. Why does the world not call him out? Even our own opposition party leader, Hertzog, jumped on the same bandwagon.
Is this current crisis a new fight in the war against ISIS because in February, the Islamic State threatened to send half a million Muslim migrants in a ‘psychological’ attack against the West.
Is this current crisis a result of the newly inked agreement with Iran?
Israel is not protecting you, do you fell safe now?
