Israel ’s Arabs Do
Not Really Belong to State of Israel !
A nation has an
anthem, a nation has a flag and a nation has an ethos. When one decides to
immigrate to a new country, one knows, in advance, that in order to become part
of the host country’s fabric, he or she will have to adapt to the host country,
meaning, adopt the ethos, sing the anthem and salute the national flag. Become
a true and loyal citizen.
The Land of Israel was an unlucky one. Since the Romans
expelled many of the Jews from their homeland to all four corners of the world
and killed over 4 million Jews out of about 12 million, it has seen nothing but
foreign hands brush through its soil, leaving behind, as written in the pages
of history, rivers of blood, chaos and desolation. While the Jews were yearning
for their Jerusalem , foreign hands were mishandling their holy
city and desecrating it.
Then, the Jews hit
a lucky strike, when in 1917 The Balfour Declaration was declared based on
Napoleon written letter to the Jewish community in Israel in 1799 and in 1920
San Remo Conference as international law, the Jews were allocated their
historical territory of Palestine aka The Land of Israel and 1922, the implementation
in part of the San Remo allocation to the Jewish people via the Mandate for Palestine,
the right to return to their ancient homeland and make the land their nation
state again. The Arab were allocated over 13 million sq. km. of territory with
a wealth of oil reserves.
With their land
the Jews “gained” Arab population. A continuous flow of Arabs into the land
began in the late 19th century when Jews, running away from Russian Pogroms or
other persecutions that took place in other countries, arrived to the land and
created attractive economic opportunity.
The arriving Jews
began purchasing land and cultivate it, which created a need for labor, a need
Arabs from neighboring states filled.
The more Jews
succeeded economically the more attractive the land became to Arabs. During the
British Mandate in Palestine , from 1920 till 1948, the British authorities to counter
the Jewish population encouraged Arabs to come live in the land they themselves
designated for the Jews and constituted under international agreement of the
Supreme Allied Powers and approve by the U.S. and signed by the President.
One reason the
British promoted Arab to live in Palestine, was to make sure that Jewish
population remains a minority; another reason, the British disdain for Jews,
thus they saw the Arabs a helpful fighting force in their objection to the
influx of Jews into the land and to their Zionistic ethos in its full
transformation; and third reason, among others, is the black oil; the need of
Britain to appease the Arab oil producing nations gave them the twisted
justification to prefer Arabs over Jews, when managing their mandate in
Palestine to ere-establish the Jewish homeland.
That Arab
population that remained in Israel when the 1948 Israel War of Independence
ended, never integrated, never became a genuine part of the state of Israel fabric.
The 1967 war added
a new dimension to the Israeli-Arab society. Now they could openly side with
their brethren the Arab “Palestinians.” In fact call themselves Arab-Palestinians
rather than Israeli-Arabs and fight for their fellow Arabs’ justice, not the
justice of the state of Israel .
The Arabs were not
satisfied with over 13 million sq. km. of territory with a wealth of oil
reserves and the theft of over 77% of Jewish territory east of the Jordan River which is now the Arab-Palestinian state of
Jordan .
The Arab countries
also expelled over a million Jewish families and confiscated all their assets
including Jewish owned Real Estate for over 2,600 years which totaled over
120,000 sq. km. Most of the expelled Jewish families and their children from
Arab countries were resettled in Israel and comprise over half the population.
The Israeli-Arabs
identify with the Arabs Israel “gained” in the Six Day War more than they
identify with the country in which they hold citizenship. This is a very
dangerous state of affairs for the Jewish state, a fifth culumn, Israel and its Jewish people.
In recent months
the government of Israel has been dealing with equal
responsibilities and obligations of all its citizens. It all began with the Tal
Law that exempts Hareidi [very religious men] from serving in the army. The
Israelis who serve in the military say that if the Hareidi sector is a recipient
of all of the state’s benefits, and if the state protects them in war time,
then, they need to give back; they need to serve in the military like all
others or National Service.
And that debate
has now expended to the Arab sector, which receives all the state’s benefits
and gives nothing back to the state.
In the recent
years the Israeli Arab society has radicalized. Their political leaders,
serving as members of Knesset, are hostile to the state; they spit anti-Israel
rhetoric from the Well of the Knesset and act seditious (which must be punished
as treason). They use the democratic system to incite against the country in
which they hold citizenship and demonstrate overt loyalty to Israel ’s enemies.
In the past I have
made a clear statement that the Arabs holding Israel citizenship are simply Israel ’s 5th column and many actively support the
terrorists.
People who cannot
relate to the national anthem and the national flag of their country, who do
not see themselves as part of their country’s ethos and see themselves as Arab “Palestinians”
rather than Israelis simply do not belong in Israel, west of the Jordan River.
To growing demands
that the Israel-Arabs comply with responsibilities and obligations to the
country, from which they were exempt since the Jewish State was established,
their reply as read in Ynetnews, http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4249047,00.html,
“We are a part of the Arab Palestinian nation, and
there is no way we will ever fight our Arab Palestinian brothers.” And, “Israel ’s Arabs cannot serve in an occupying army
at a time of war.” That sums it all up; we do not really belong to the state of
Israel . Therefore, those Arabs should relocate to
Jordan or other Arab countries.
So as I predicted
years ago, Israel ’s 5th column is now raising its ugly head;
the moment of truth has arrived. The Arabs living in Israel are NOT Israelis, they are part of the
Arab “Palestinian” nation, whatever nation it is. The Arabs who found
themselves living in the independent nation state of the Jewish people, Israel , were lucky but they do not see it this way.
They want to receive all of a citizen’s benefits but participate in none of the
citizen’s obligations. They want to have all the benefits of living in a
democratic system while siding with terrorist organizations and the world’s
worst tyrannies, which amounts to treason.
The question is,
are they hanging in there, dodging the bullets of civil obligations with the
hope that their Arab-Palestinian brothers will win the battle against the state
of Israel ? Or, that Israel will either be dismantled or give in as a
Jewish state and they then won the battle they started in 1948? Otherwise, what
is the real reason for them staying in Israel , a land to which they have no obligations
and which they see its creation as a disaster-a Nakba? Another reason is that
the Arabs in Israel receive a better standard of living,
better education, better healthcare and Democratic society.
The Arabs say, the
State must not put their loyalty to the test; loyalty to whom? Hmmmmm. The
moment of truth, which Israel had brushed under the carpet, or hid in
the closet, has come to haunt and Israel probably wishes this moment would have
never arrived!
Why is everyone so
scared to say it as it is?
It is time to
expel the enemies of Israel from its territories west of the Jordan River , and that is mostly the Arabs.

P.S.
We are at war for our
survival. Many stubbornly and foolishly don’t put the pieces together and
refuse to identify the evil doers Arabs as evil that promote terror and
violence and teach their children to hate and commit terror and violence.
If you read the 1917 Balfour Declaration (Which emulated Napoleons 1799 letter to the Jewish community in Palestine promising that The National Home for The Jewish people will be reestablished in Palestine, as the Jews are the rightful owners). Nowhere does it state an Arab entity west of The Jordan Rive. The San Remo Conference of 1920 does not state an Arab entity west of The Jordan River. The Mandate for Palestine terms does not state an Arab entity west of the Jordan River. It specifically states a Jewish National Home in Palestine without limiting the Jewish territory in Palestine. It also states that the British should work with the Jewish Agency as the official representative of the Jews in Palestine to implement the National Home of the Jewish people in Palestine. I stress again; nowhere does it state that an Arab entity should be implemented west of the Jordan River.
ReplyDeleteAs a matter of historical record, The British reallocated over 77% of Jewish Palestine to the Arab-Palestinians in 1922 with specific borders and Jordan took over additional territory like the Gulf of Aqaba which was not part of the allocation to Jordan.
No where in any of the above stated agreements does it provides for an Arab entity west of the Jordan River. It specifically states political right to the Jewish people. The U.N. resolutions are non-binding with no legal standing.
