Israel's rights to the land are ingrained in history, archaeological findings, international law and possession.
Just like the Arab States have not been required to defend their legitimacy, Israel should also not be required to defend its' legitimacy while Israel’s Jewish legitimacy to Jerusalem and The Land of Israel predates Islam by over a thousand years.
The 21 Arab States received over 12 million sq. km. of territory with a wealth of oil reserves and the State of Israel was allocated about 120,000 sq. km (but today they have about 21,000 sq. km., since the new Arab state of Jordan was occupying over three quarters of Jewish allocated territory) these territories were set up by the Supreme Allied Powers after WWI, when the Ottoman Empire relinquished its title to the territories to the Supreme Allied Powers.
The British were assigned as trustee for the Jewish people to help reconstitute the Jewish State as Implemented by the San Remo Treaty of 1920 and the 1919 Faisal Weizmann Agreement.
The San Remo Treaty adopted the Balfour Declaration of 1917 and the Balfour Declaration emulated Napoleon’s 1799 intent to reconstitute The Land of Israel for the Jewish people.
Moreover, of importance is the fact that treaty terms and documents and minutes of the deliberations proving there was no state allocation of land to any other people or nation other than the Jewish people in The Historical Land of Israel. It should also be noted the League of Nations implementing the Agreement set up the Mandate for Palestine as a State for the Jewish people with exclusive political rights and with the provision that Jewish communities and habitation is granted in all the territory of The Mandate for Palestine aka The Land of Israel.
The Jewish people who lived in The Land of Israel for over 4,000 years had additional Jewish immigration in the mid-1800’s. Joining the local Jewish people with the infusion of more Jewish immigration, capital, resources, funding and with the explicit permission by the Ottoman government, started developing the desolate land. Within a short time the Jewish people started turning the desert and desolation into green pastures, thus, building an economy, agriculture, housing and industry. Many Arabs from neighboring depressed states, who viewed this development as an opportunity for work and an improved standard of living, came to work in
An important tragedy in this conflict which we must take into consideration. The Arab countries expelled over a million Jewish families and their children, confiscated all their assets, personal valuables, businesses, homes and land 6 times the size of

The Arab-Palestinians saw an opportunity to get land and a country that was developed and flourished by the Jewish people. They decided that through intimidation, harassment and violence to usurp the Jewish habitants into capitulating to their scheme of an
After the 1967 war when
When the terrorist organization entered the picture and instigated the Arab population to start suicide bombing terror and violence against the Israelis, the economic advancement was slowed down if not halted. The dire predicament of the Arab-Palestinians is of their own making.
If you look at Arab land it is desolate and barren, with few exceptions. At the same time, the Jewish land is blooming and developing at an accelerated tempo. The Arabs, rather than follow the example set by
The Arab-Palestinians current actions and activities in the political and legal arena is a result of losing 4 wars and various battles with
The Arab-Palestinians have switched tactics and have now gained more ground and concessions by playing the peace game.
The Arab-Palestinians obfuscation and disinformation campaign along with various pleadings in front of the U.N. (which issues non-binding resolutions with no legal standing) and other International bodies has gained them more inroads.
The economic power of oil reserves and the Arab Countries, who do not want the Arab-Palestinians to return to their countries, are helping them promote the false and deceptive information, utilizing their numerical control in the U.N. to pass any non-binding resolution that they deem necessary to advance their cause.
Money, power and greed promoted hate and anti-Semitism by the Arabs in order to force
Jewish resistance to persecution by the Arabs and the world at large: Any level headed individual would think that after WWII and the 6 million Jews exterminated in the Holocaust (plus another 5 million of other ethnic groups) would diminish, if not eliminate anti-Semitism and baseless hatred.
It seems that no matter the amount of unwarranted persecution, and no matter the sacrifices the Jewish people have endured through the ages, Anti-Semitism continues to raise its ugly head.
The Media is guilty of escalating hostilities and violence in
The affects on the world at large: Has humanity lost its values and fairness? The answer is no. In order to lose something, one must first possess it and the truth is, the world has never had total control of values and fairness. In today's world, where money and power is pursued at all costs (see Machiavelli), the core family unit is disintegrating and family values deteriorating. Honesty, integrity and fair-play seem to be a thing of the past. Where are we as human beings of the 21st century heading? Obviously downward.
Take some time to reflect on the truth of what is stated here. Do you really want this kind of world for your children? Senseless hate and destruction must not be tolerated. I urge you to wake up, take the bull by the horn and pursue a path of correction, or we are doomed as a civilized people.

P.S. How many holidays do the Arabs-Muslims celebrate due to historical events in the land of ancient
The Jewish people celebrate most of their holidays and fast days in memory of Jerusalem and Israel since 70 AD (that is over 2,000 years).

No Jew has the right to yield the rights of the Jewish People in Israel -
ReplyDeleteDavid 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)
“No country in the world exists today by virtue of its ‘right’.
All countries exist today by virtue of their ability to defend themselves against those who seek their destruction.”
