Israel’s Arabs Do Not Really Belong to State of Israel! - YJ Draiman

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.

The Truth About the Arab-Palestinian People The 1948 Israeli War of Independence was between the neighboring Arab countries and the newly formed state of Israel. The Arab countries did not send troops to help the people that are today known as "Palestinians" but rather they sent troops to drive the Jews into the sea. Most of the "Palestinian Arabs" fled to avoid the fighting. Remember, in 1948 they were not referred to as "Palestinians". This name was was created by the Soviet disinformation masters in 1964 when they created the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). The term "Palestinian People" as a description of Arabs in Palestine appeared for the first time in the preamble of the 1964 PLO Charter, drafted in Moscow. The Charter was affirmed by the first 422 members of the Palestinian National Council, handpicked by the KGB. This term was formally used by newspapers around the world after 1967. United Nations Resolution 181 recommended a partition of the territory from the British Mandate for Palestine into two states - one for Jews and one for Palestinian Arabs. But the rejection of partition by the Arabs left in place as the legally operative Mandate for Palestine, the 1924 Anglo-American Convention, and Article 80 of the United Nations Charter. All of the Arab countries objected to the creation of the Jewish state and fought a war against its creation. This was Israel's War of Independence in 1948. Despite their superior numbers, the Arab countries lost the war and the Palestinian state never materialized because of this loss. In the war that was waged, the territory allotted to be the Palestinian state by the UN partition resolution was divided between Israel and Jordan. The "Palestinian Arabs" were rejected by every single Arab country, with the exception of the small percentage that ended up in refugee camps in Jordan where they remain to this day.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=09pmTh64vD8 The History of the Region To understand the truth of modern day Israel, you must first have a clear understanding of the history of the region. Judea was an autonomous state in the Persian Empire following the return from Babylonian exile thanks to Cyrus, King of Persia. Following the death of Alexander the Great who had captured the Persian Empire, it became part of two Hellenistic. Following the Maccabean revolt, Judea became an independent state. Following the death of King Herod, the Romans seized it and it then became a Roman province. Judea was briefly independent during the first revolt against the Romans until it was finally destroyed when the Romans put down the revolt and destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple in the year 70. Judah lost its independence to Rome in the year 70 and became again a colony. In the year 135, the Romans gave the country the name "Palaestina". The name Palaestina, which became Palestine in English, is derived from Herodotus, who used the term Palaistine Syria to refer to the entire southern part of Syria, meaning "Philistine Syria." This was to add insult to injury against the Jewish people. The intent was to remove any memory of a Jewish presence. The name was kept by the next possessors, the Byzantine Empire, and then by the conquering Arabs and their successors, the conquering Turks. Note that we have a succession of different nationalities, none of whom thought of themselves as Palestinians. They were the Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, or Turks. About 61 B.C., Roman troops under Pompei invaded Judea and sacked Jerusalem in support of King Herod. Judea had become a client state of Rome. During the seventh century (A.D. 600's), Muslim Arab armies moved north from Arabia to conquer most of the Middle East, including Palestine. The Seljuk Turks conquered Jerusalem in 1071, but their rule in Palestine lasted less than 30 years. During the 7th century, Muslims invaded and the Crusaders from Europe ruled for a time until they were driven out. The Crusaders left Palestine for good when the Muslims captured Acre in 1291. During the post-crusade period, crusaders often raided the coast of Palestine. To deny the Crusaders gains from these raids, the Muslims pulled their people back from the coasts and destroyed coastal towns and farms. This depopulated and impoverished the coast of Palestine for hundreds of years. In the mid-1200's, Mamelukes, originally soldier-slaves of the Arabs based in Egypt, established an empire that in time included the area of Palestine that lasted until the Ottoman Empire defeated the Mamelukes in 1517, and Palestine became part of the Ottoman Empire. The Turkish Sultan invited Jews fleeing the Spanish Catholic inquisition to settle in the Turkish empire, including several cities in Palestine. The Ottoman Empire ruled until the British took control of the area in 1917. In 1922, the British declared that the boundary of Palestine would be limited to the area west of the river. The area east of the river, called Transjordan, which is now the country of Jordan, was made a separate British mandate and eventually given independence. The British maintained control until 1948. There was always a Jewish population in the region, most of them resided in the religious communities in Jerusalem, Tz'fat, Tiberius, and Hebron. With Jewish immigration suddenly on the rise from the 1880's on, the economy of this very under populated and very poor country began to rise dramatically, attracting a parallel stream of Arabs from the surrounding countries who came in looking for jobs. At the same time, Arab/Muslim nationalism and extremism began to rise, spurred by the influx of what they considered "Infidel Jews" and the breakup of the Turkish Empire followed by the occupation by European countries of much of the Middle East. From this time through the War of Independence in 1947-49, there were local Arab leaders who called for an independent Palestine (Arab state) in the entire country with not a single inch for a Jewish state. During the 1948 Israeli War of Independence, the local Arab armies and leaders identified with Syria, Jordan, and Egypt and thought of themselves as such. At the end of the war, the Arab allotted land was divided between Israel, Egypt (Gaza), and Jordan. The Egyptians refused to let the Gazans become independent or Egyptian citizens. Eventually, the Jordanians did allow some refugees become citizens, but not all. The Arab states are content to let their brother Arabs remain in those refugee camps that are really crowded and squalid towns and live like that since the UN supported them. Because of this, they make a great political tool used to invoke sympathy, especially in regard to the European countries. That is crass, unfeeling politics, but these same people do not hesitate to strap bombs to their young men and women. Another reason why the Palestinian Arabs fled is that they refused to live in a Jewish dominated state. Ironically, had they accepted the partition and those in Israel not fled, Israel would have had a huge and growing Arab population and indefensible borders. A Few Forgotten Facts 1. Israel became a nation in 1312 BCE, two thousand years before the rise of Islam. 2. Arab refugees in Israel began identifying themselves as part of a Palestinian people in 1967, two decades after the establishment of the modern State of Israel. 3. Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 BCE, the Jews have had dominion over the land for one thousand years with a continuous presence in the land for the past 3,300 years. 4. The only Arab dominion since the conquest in 635 CE lasted no more than 22 years. 5. For over 3,300 years, Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital Jerusalem has never been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Even when the Jordanians occupied Jerusalem, they never sought to make it their capital, and Arab leaders did not come to visit. 6. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in Tanach, the Jewish Holy Scriptures. Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Koran. 7. King David founded the city of Jerusalem. Mohammed never came to Jerusalem. 8. Jews pray facing Jerusalem. Muslims pray with their backs toward Jerusalem. 9. In 1948 the Arab refugees were encouraged to leave Israel by Arab leaders promising to purge the land of Jews. Sixty-eight percent left without ever seeing an Israeli soldier. 10. The Jewish refugees were forced to flee from Arab lands due to Arab brutality, persecution, and slaughter. 11. The number of Arab refugees who left Israel in 1948 is estimated to be around 630,000. The number of Jewish refugees from Arab lands is estimated to be the same. 12. Arab refugees were intentionally not absorbed or integrated into the Arab lands to which they fled, despite the vast Arab territory. Out of the 100,000,000 refugees since World War II, theirs is the only refugee group in the world that has never been absorbed or integrated into their own people's lands. Jewish refugees were completely absorbed into Israel, a country no larger than the state of New Jersey. 13. The Arabs are represented by eight separate nations, not including the Palestinians. There is only one Jewish nation. The Arab nations initiated all five wars and lost. Israel defended itself each time and won. 14. The PLO's Charter still calls for the destruction of the State of Israel. Israel has given the Palestinians most of the West Bank land, autonomy under the Palestinian Authority, and has supplied them. 15. Under Jordanian rule, Jewish holy sites were desecrated and the Jews were denied access to places of worship. Under Israeli rule, all Muslim and Christian sites have been preserved and made accessible to people of all faiths. 16. The UN Record on Israel and the Arabs: of the 175 Security Council resolutions passed before 1990, 97 were directed against Israel. 17. Of the 690 General Assembly resolutions voted on before 1990, 429 were directed against Israel. 18. The UN was silent while 58 Jerusalem Synagogues were destroyed by the Jordanians. 19. The UN was silent while the Jordanians systematically desecrated the ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives. 20. The UN was silent while the Jordanians enforced an apartheid-like a policy of preventing Jews from visiting the Temple Mount and the Western Wall. The Modern Day Conflict From the 1948 Israeli War of Independence, "Palestinian Arabs"have been sacrificed as pawns by all other Arab countries as they are to this day. No other Arab country has ever offered to accept any of these people into their own countries even though they are well able to do so. To the Arab countries and the rest of the anti-Semitic world, the "Palestinian Arabs" are useful only as a tool to exterminate Israel and the rest of the Jews in the Middle East. Otherwise, their welfare is of no concern to the rest of the Arab world. What about the ingrained notion that the Palestinians are fighting for their ancient homeland annexed by the Jews? The truth about this matter has been so deliberately obscured that even to raise the issue seems strange to many people. In the 1967 war, also known as the Six Day War, did Israel annex territory from a Palestinian nation? No, Israel did not take a single inch of territory from Palestine. That is because there is not, nor has there ever been, a Palestinian nation. Israel captured the West Bank and Eastern Jerusalem from Jordan's King Hussein and the Gaza Strip from Egypt, after they declared war against the Jewish State. It was only following the Six-day War in 1967 that Arab refugees living in these territories began identifying themselves as the "Palestinian People"because the global media labeled them as such. One cannot help but wonder why these Palestinians suddenly discovered a national identity after Israel won the war, but not during the "Jordanian Occupation" or the "Egyptian Occupation"? There Was Never A Country Called Palestine If you consider Palestine to be a "Sovereign" and "Independent" country that goes back through most of recorded history as many would have you to believe, then a few questions need to be answered: When was it founded and by whom? What were its borders? What was its capital? Who was the President? What was its form of government? What were its major cities? What constituted the basis of its economy? Who was the Palestinian leader before Yasser Arafat? Was Palestine ever recognized by a country whose existence, at that time or now, leaves no room for interpretation? What was the language of the country of Palestine? What was the prevalent religion of the country of Palestine? What was the name of its currency and what was the approximate exchange rate of the Palestinian monetary unit against the US dollar, German mark, GB pound, or Japanese yen on any particular date? And, finally, since there is no such country today, what caused its demise and when did it occur? If these so-called "Palestinians" are anything but a generic collection of Arabs from all over the rest of the Arab world and if they really have a genuine ethnic identity that gives them right for self-determination, then why did they never try to become an independent and sovereign nation until Arabs suffered their devastating defeat in the Six Day War in 1967? The Ten Commandments of Arab Lies The "Palestinian People" have an historic connection to the land. This is very interesting since there is no such thing as a "Palestinian People". When the Romans changed the name of Israel to Palestine, the people living there at the time were Jews, not Arabs. If there had been a "Palestinian People", which there never was, they would have been Jews. The Palestinian People have been in the land from time immemorial. For centuries pre-Israel Palestine was a forgotten, desolate wasteland inhabited by a remnant of Jews, along with some Christians and wandering Bedouins who certainly had no thought of a national identity of any kind. There were no Jews in Palestine until Israel became a state in 1948. The Romans officially banished the Jews from Israel (Palestine) in 135 CE. However, historical records show there was always a Jewish presence in the land. While many were scattered, other Jews simply moved out of harm's way until a less hostile power ruled the land. Jews were returning to what is now Israel well before 1948. Many left Russia after the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917. Arabs and Jews lived in harmony before Israel became a state. Throughout the centuries, Jews as well as Christians, living under Islamic rule suffered persecution and humiliation, the intensity of which was determined by the character of a particular Moslem ruler. As second-class citizens, there was never a "good time" for non-Muslims living under Islamic rule. Because of the way that most Islamic countries look down on non-Muslims, they are always considered second-class citizens and less than equal. Arabs have rarely lived in harmony with anyone if they were the majority. The returning Jews displaced the Palestinian Arabs The ancestors of most of the present-day Arab population migrated to the land after Jewish pioneers began to reclaim the land. They came from many different countries and were not original inhabitants of the land. The Jews stole Arab land Jews returning to the land settled on unclaimed, unoccupied land or bought land from absentee Arab landowners at outrageously high prices. This is a matter of record. The Jews forced Arabs to flee Palestine When Israel was declared a state in 1948, leaders from the surrounding Arab countries declared war on Israel and instructed the Arab civilians living in the land to flee until the Jews were annihilated. Israeli leaders, to no avail, urged the Arabs to stay. Property that they owned was abandoned. The Jews caused the Arab refugee problem If Arab countries would assimilate and care for the "Palestinian" refugees, as Israel did for their Jewish refugees, there would be no refugee problem. Instead they use the refugees as political pawns in their struggle against Israel. No Arab country that wants "Palestinian Arabs" in their country as they would rather use the "Palestinian Arabs" as pawns rather than assimilate them into their populations and bring peace to the Middle East. Israel is the aggressor against defenseless Palestinians In its brief history, Israel has had one war after another and each time they are blamed as the aggressor. The Arabs do not recognize the right of Israel to exist and are in a constant state of hostility against Israel. Their aim is to destroy Israel. Jerusalem is holy to Muslims While Jerusalem is mentioned over eight hundred times in the Bible, it is not mentioned one time in the Koran. Muslims have had little or no interest in Jerusalem until the Jewish presence in modern times. THE JEWISH SITUATION by Larry Miller A brief overview of the situation is always valuable, so as a service to all Americans who still do not get it, I now offer you the story of the Middle East in just a few paragraphs, which is all you really need. Don't thank me. I am a giver. Here we go: The Palestinians want their own country. There is just one thing about that: There are no Palestinians. It is a made up word. Israel was called Palestine for two thousand years. Like "Wiccan", "Palestinian"sounds ancient but is really a modern invention. Before the Israelis won the land in war, Gaza belonged to Egypt and there were no "Palestinians" then. The West Bank belonged to Jordan, and there were no "Palestinians" then. As soon as the Jews took over and started growing oranges as big as basketballs, what do you know, say hello to the "Palestinians", weeping for their deep bond with their lost "land" and "nation." So for the sake of honesty, let us not use the word "Palestinian" any more to describe these delightful folks, who dance for joy at our deaths until someone points out they are being taped. Instead, call them what they are: "Other Arabs From The Same General Area Who Are In Deep Denial About Never Being Able To Accomplish Anything In Life And Would Rather Wrap Themselves In The Seductive Melodrama Of Eternal Struggle And Death." I know that is a bit unwieldy to expect to see on CNN. How about this, then: "Adjacent Jew-Haters." Okay, so the Adjacent Jew-Haters want their own country. Oops, just one more thing. No, they do not. They could have had their own country any time in the last thirty years, especially two years ago at Camp David. But if you have your own country, you have to have traffic lights and garbage trucks and Chambers of Commerce, and, worse, you actually have to figure out some way to make a living. That is no fun. No, they want what all the other Jew-Haters in the region want: Israel. They also want a big pile of dead Jews, of course - that is where the real fun is - but mostly they want Israel. Why? For one thing, trying to destroy Israel - or "The Zionist Entity" as their textbooks call it - for the last fifty years has allowed the rulers of Arab countries to divert the attention of their own people away from the fact that they are the blue-ribbon most illiterate, poorest, and tribally backward on God's Earth, and if you have ever been around God's Earth, you know that is really saying something. It makes me roll my eyes every time one of our pundits waxes poetic about the great history and culture of the Muslim Mideast. Unless I am missing something, the Arabs have not given anything to the world since Algebra, and, by the way, thanks a hell of a lot for that one. Chew this around and spit it out: Five hundred million Arabs; five million Jews. Think of all the Arab countries as a football field, and Israel as a pack of matches sitting in the middle of it. And now these same folks swear that if Israel gives them half of that pack of matches, everyone will be pals. Really? Wow, what neat news. Hey, but what about the string of wars to obliterate the tiny country and the constant din of rabid blood oaths to drive every Jew into the sea? Oh, that? We were just kidding. My friend Kevin Rooney made a gorgeous point the other day: Just reverse the numbers. Imagine five hundred million Jews and five million Arabs. I was stunned at the simple brilliance of it. Can anyone picture the Jews strapping belts of razor blades and dynamite to themselves? Of course not. Or marshalling every fiber and force at their disposal for generations to drive a tiny Arab state into the sea? Nonsense. Or dancing for joy at the murder of innocents? Impossible. Or spreading and believing horrible lies about the Arabs baking their bread with the blood of children? Disgusting. No, as you know, left to themselves in a world of peace, the worst Jews would ever do to people is debate them to death. Mr. Bush, God bless him, is walking a tightrope. I understand that with vital operations coming up against Iraq and others, it is in our interest, as Americans, to try to stabilize our Arab allies as much as possible, and, after all, that cannot be much harder than stabilizing a roomful of supermodels that have just had their drugs taken away. However, in any big-picture strategy, there is always a danger of losing moral weight. We have already lost some. After September 11th our president told us and the world he was going to root out all terrorists and the countries that supported them. Beautiful. Then the Israelis, after months and months of having the equivalent of an Oklahoma City every week and then every day, start to do the same thing we did, and we tell them to show restraint. If America were being attacked with an Oklahoma City every day, we would all very shortly be screaming for the administration to just be done with it and kill everything south of the Mediterranean and east of the Jordan. (Hey, wait a minute, that is actually not such a bad idea... uh, that is, what a horrible thought, yeah, horrible.) To see the true agenda of what the "Palestinians" and the rest of radical Islam really stand for and the hatred that is at their core beliefs, look at "Islam - A Religion Based on Terrorism".

Jews and Muslims - An Intellectual Comparison Quotes From The Islamic World When World War III Started On a final note, in all of the writing and reporting on Israel, there is one undisputed fact that is consistently forgotten and ignored.

No Islamic nation can come close to making that claim.

The widely-disseminated Arab Muslim position that the Temple Mount is not Jewish has been debunked - by the Supreme Muslim Council (Waqf) of Jerusalem, in a Temple Mount guide published in 1925.

Wakf guidebook, 1925, cover
The Temple Institute

Guidebook Puts the Lie to Current Arab Campaign In 1997, the chief Muslim cleric of the Palestinian Authority, Mufti Ikrama Sabri, stated, "The claim of the Jews to the right over [Jerusalem] is false, and we recognize nothing but an entirely Islamic Jerusalem under Islamic supervision..."

Thus began a campaign to convince the world that the millennia-old natural association between Jerusalem and Jews was untrue. As Islamic Movement chief Raed Salah stated in 2006, "We remind, for the 1,000th time, that the entire Al-Aqsa mosque [on the Temple Mount], including all of its area and alleys above the ground and under it, is exclusive and absolute Muslim property, and no one else has any rights to even one grain of earth in it."

However, it is now known that this "absolute" Muslim claim is actually not as absolute as claimed. In fact, back in 1925, the Supreme Muslim Council - also known as the Waqf, which has overseen Temple Mount activities on behalf of the Muslim religion for hundreds of years - boasted proudly that the site was none other than that of Solomon's Temple.

The Jerusalem-based Temple Institute (http://www.templeinstitute.org) reports that it has acquired a copy of the official 1925 Supreme Muslim Council Guide Book to Al-Haram Al-Sharif (the Muslim name for the Temple Mount). On page 4, the Waqf states, "Its identity with the site of Solomon's Temple is beyond dispute. This, too, is the spot, according to universal belief, on which 'David built there an altar unto the L-rd...', citing the source in 2 Samuel XXIV,25.

In addition, on page 16, the pamphlet makes reference to the underground area in the south-east corner of the Mount, which is refers to as Solomon's Stables. "Little is known for certain of the history of the chamber itself," the guide reads. "It dates probably as far back as the construction of Solomon's Temple. According to Josephus, it was in existence and was used as a place of refuge by the Jews at the time of the conquest of Jerusalem by Titus in the year 70 A.D."

The Temple Mount in Jerusalem was in fact the site of the two Jewish Holy Temples which stood for nearly 1,000 years (see below).

Wakf guidebook, 1925, excerpt
The Temple Institute

Proof of Muslim Anti-Jewish Revisionism The Temple Institute's Rabbi Chaim Richman writes that the pamphlet provides proof that the Waqf's current position is a departure from traditional Muslim belief. "In recent years," he writes, "the Muslim Waqf has come to deny the historic existence of the Holy Temple, claiming that the Temple Mount belongs solely to the Muslim nation, and that there exists no connection between the Jewish nation and the Temple Mount. It is clear from this pamphlet that the revised Waqf position strays from traditional Muslim acknowledgment of the Mount's Jewish antecedents."

"The current denial of historical reality is merely one tool in the war being waged by Muslims against the G-d of Israel and the entire 'infidel' world," Richman declares.

Napoleon Bonaparte's Letter to the Jews April 20,, 1799 - TO THE RIGHTFUL HEIRS OF PALESTINE.

Napoleon Bonaparte's Letter to the Jews
April 20,, 1799

Introduction

In 1799, the French armies under Napoleon were camped outside of Acre. Napoleon issued a letter offering Palestine as a homeland to the Jews under French protection. The project was stillborn because Napoleon was defeated and was forced to withdraw from the Near East. The letter is remarkable because it marks the coming of age of enlightenment philosophy, making it respectable at last to integrate Jews as equal citizens in Europe and because it marked the beginning of nineteenth century projects for Jewish autonomy in Palestine under a colonial protectorate. After the defeat of Napoleon, it was largely the British who carried forward these projects, which have in hindsight been given the somewhat misleading name of "British Zionism."

(translated from the Original, 1799)

General Headquarters, Jerusalem 1st Floreal, April 20th, 1799, 
in the year of 7 of the French Republic

BUONAPARTE, COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE ARMIES OF THE FRENCH REPUBLIC
IN AFRICA AND ASIA, TO THE RIGHTFUL HEIRS OF PALESTINE. The Jewish People

POPULATION of Palestine aka The Land of Israel:

POPULATION of Palestine aka 

The Land of Israel:  

                                       

Before the name change to the State of Israel, "Arab/Palestinians" were the same Arab people living in the area called Palestine aka the Land of Israel. By the 1940’s, the vast majority of Arab-Palestinians (Muslims, Jews, and Christians) were immigrants or descendants of those who immigrated after 1870, since the land was so VERY sparsely populated in the mid 1800’s and desolate. "Truth is stranger than fiction."

[Note the mere 2 year period of residence for claiming refugee status: Arab Palestine refugees are defined as “persons whose normal place of residence was Palestine aka the Land of Israel during the period 1 June 1946 to 15 May 1948, and who lost both home and means of livelihood as a result of the 1948 conflict.” Of all the refugees, they are the ONLY ones to perpetuate the status to all partrilineal descendants. The Arab League has instructed its members to deny them citizenship.]

Since the Roman destruction of Jerusalem in year 70 AD (after 12 CENTURIES of the Children of Israel in the Holy Land), there have continuously been some of the Jewish family and communities living in the Holy Land, and whenever possible this included the heart of the Holy Land, Jerusalem.

Jews had been a constant presence in the Holy Land, long before there were Zionists; largely poor, they were largely concentrated, in separate Jewish quarters, in the towns of Jerusalem, Hebron, Safed, and Tiberius. A few were merchants and shopkeepers, some were petty craftsmen, and some spent their days praying and studying, living off contributions from abroad. The newcomers, the Zionists, were to concentrate, not on merely living (or dying) in the Holy Land, but on making a living, with the distinct idea of re-forming an autonomous Jewish community in the ancient Jewish homeland.
Overall the Jewish population, like the population in general, had remained fairly stable from the earliest days of Ottoman rule until the 19th century. The introduction of stable Turkish government, and their promoting Jews to return to their homeland and revive its desolation into a producing land; and the Christian influence from outside, and in particular the abolishment of the laws discriminating against non-Muslims, led to a disproportionately larger growth of Jews in the Holy Land. According to Ben-Aryeh, the pre-eminent student of 19th century geography, Jews increased from 28,500 in 1800’s to about 65,000 by 1880, his figures including Jews who were not Ottoman citizens.

By the mid 1800’s, the land was VERY sparsely populated.

1857: British consul, James Finn, reported "The country is in a considerable degree empty of inhabitants and therefore its greatest need is that of a body of population."

1859: British Consulate report: The Muslims of Jerusalem do not exceed a fourth of the entire population.

1867: Charles Wyllys Elliott, president of Harvard University, wrote: "A beautiful sea lies unbosomed, among the Galilean hills in the mist of that land once possessed by Zebulon and Naphtali, Asher and Dan. Life here was one idyllic... now it is a scene of desolation and misery."

1867: American author Mark Twain visited the Holy Land, and wrote about it in his book “The Innocents Abroad”: “…[a] desolate country whose soil is rich enough, but is given over wholly to weeds -a silent mournful expanse….A desolation is here that not even imagination can grace with the pomp of life and action….We never saw a human being on the whole route….There was hardly a tree or a shrub anywhere. Even the olive and the cactus, those fast friends of the worthless soil, had almost deserted the country.” "There are two or three small clusters of Bedouin tents, but not a single permanent habitation." "One may ride ten miles hereabouts, and not see ten human beings."

1874: Reverend Samuel Manning wrote in his book, "Those Holy Fields" But where was the inhabitants? This fertile plain which might support an immense population is almost solitude."

Starting in 1878, enormous waves of Muslim immigration began arriving in what was essentially an empty territory. The Ottoman Sultan launched a resettlement policy to bring foreign Muslims, mainly from Circassia & Algeria.

⇨Unlike Arabs, when Jews immigrated to the Holy Land, it was the indigenous people returning.⇦

1921- : Franklin D. Roosevelt, president of the United States, said on May 17, 1939, "The Arab immigration to Palestine since 1921 was much greater than Jewish immigration." It was the British who turned a blind eye while hundreds of thousands of Arabs crossed the border into Palestine aka the Land of Israel.

1922 – 1947: Arab population increased the most in cities with large Jewish populations that had created new economic opportunities. The non-Jewish population increased 290 percent in Haifa, 131 percent in Jerusalem and 158 percent in Jaffa. The growth in Arab towns was more modest: 42 percent in Nablus, 78 percent in Jenin and 37 percent in Bethlehem.

1934: The governor of the Syrian district of Hauran, Tewfik Bey El Hurani, admitted in 1934, which in a single period of only a few months, over 35,000 Syrians from Houran had moved to Palestine aka the Land of Israel.

1939: Winston Churchill, British Prime Minister and a veteran of the British Mandate in the Holy Land, noted in 1939 the Arab illegal invasion: The Arabs have crowded into the country by over two hundred thousand and multiplied till their population has increased more than even all worlds Jewry could lift up the Jewish population.

June 1948: The Jews point with pride to the fact that over 500,000 Arabs, in the 12 years in-between 1932-1944, came into Palestine to take advantage of living conditions existing in no other Arab state. - Robert F. Kennedy visited the British Mandate of Palestine in 1948, one month before Israel declared its independence, and reported this for the Boston Post.

"The Arab Palestinian people have no national identity. I Yasser Arafat, man of destiny, will give them that identity through conflict with Israel." -Yasser Arafat.

"The Arab Palestinian people do not exist. The creation of an Arab Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity." –Arab PLO executive committee member, Zahir Muhsein, 1977.

The late military commander of the Arab PLO, as well as member of the Arab PLO Executive Council, Zuhair Muhsin. Said the following to James Dorsey in a 1977 interview in the Dutch newspaper "Trouw" - There are no differences between Jordanians, Arab Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. We are all part of one nation. It is only for political reasons that we carefully underline our Arab Palestinian identity....yes; the existence of a separate Arab Palestinian identity serves only tactical purposes. The founding of an Arab Palestinian state is a new tool in the continuing battle against Israel.

"It is common knowledge that Palestine is nothing but southern Syria."
- Ahmed Shuqeiri, later the chairman of the PLO, to the UN Security Council

"There is no such country [as Palestine]! ’Palestine' is a term the Zionists invented! There is no Arab Palestine in the Qur’an. Our country was for century’s part of Syria."
- Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi, a local Arab leader, to the Peel Commission, 1937

Zuheir Mohsen uniquely both an Arab PLO leader and an official in the ideologically Pan-Arabism Syrian Ba'ath party at the same time. As such, he stated that there were no differences between Jordanians, Arab Palestinians, Syrians, and Lebanese", though Arab Palestinian identity would be emphasized for political reasons. This originated in a March 1977 interview with the Dutch newspaper Trouw: "Between Jordanians, Arab Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese there are no differences. We are all part of ONE people, the Arab nation. Look, I have family members with Arab/Palestinian, Lebanese, Jordanian and Syrian citizenship. We are ONE people. Just for political reasons we carefully underwrite our Arab Palestinian identity. Because it is of national interest for the Arabs to advocate the existence of Arab Palestinians to balance Zionism. Yes, the existence of a separate Arab Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons. The establishment of an Arab Palestinian state is a new tool to continue the fight against Israel and for Arab unity."

"There is no Arab Palestinian nation! There is an Arab nation, but no Arab Palestinian nation. This was invented by the colonial powers. When are the Arab Palestinians mentioned in history? Never!" - Azmi Bishara, Arab Palestinian intellectual and former Arab Knesset member who fled to Qatar to avoid prosecution for aiding the enemy.

The Arab-Palestinian Violence must be stopped at all costs, no holds barred, zero tolerance r4

Israel and the Jewish people must stand United against evil terror and violence. This is no time to be selfish and score political points on the dead bodies of Jewish souls.
The situation today with terror attacks on a daily basis is no different than July 2014 when Hamas - a recognized terrorist organization firing thousands of missiles against Israel's population centers.
These are very difficult days. The escalating Arab violence and attack after attack carried out by Arab savage knife wielders and inhuman vehicular use and knifing as a weapon of terror are again putting to a test the spiritual strength and resolve of the Israeli people. Our enemies, both foreign and domestic, should know that we will never lose our will to live as a free people in our homeland; NEVER AGAIN is not just words, because we have no other home in the world. Israel is the only Jewish country for over 4000 years. We must defend it no matter what, damn the torpedoes. Jews who are not willing to grasp a sword will not be able to hold onto life, we will not let a Holocaust decimate us. We will not give up and we will not capitulate or cower to terror, threats and intimidation, because this is our mission in life. Weakness is not leadership and endless fruitless concessions do not constitute a vision.
While we preach and pursue peace and coexistence, the Arabs are pursuing terror, death and violence. They, the Arabs clearly state in no ambiguous terms that they want to kill the Jews and destroy Israel.
The Israeli government must send a clear and determined message and act with all the force necessary to put the murderous violence to a halt. This is war, and we have no choice but to win at all costs, if we want to live and prosper. "Let us all as a unified nation go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it." We have turned a desert into a flourishing country; we can and will defend our homeland at all costs.

Jewish celebrating the Liberation of Jerusalem has been the hope and aspirations of the Jewish people for close to 2000 years. The Romans significantly outnumbered, the Maccabee's succeeded against great odds by combining strategy, devotion to God and a willingness to sacrifice themselves in their unified battle against both assimilation and religious persecution. They returned to rededicate the ransacked and desecrated temple in Jerusalem with renewed faith and hope for the future. Today is no different, The Jewish nation is fighting for its survival, let us follow in the footsteps of our ancestors.

The increased Arab terrorism and violence in Greater Israel is promoting Arab-Palestinian population transfer out of the land of Israel.

The Arab attacks on Jews and continued violence explicitly raising the option of population transfer by recommending that Israel "find an outlet for this [Arab-Palestinian] population east of the Jordan River and elsewhere. It is also promoting the venue of relocating the Arab-Palestinians in Israel to the Million homes and over 120,000 sq. km. of land of the Jewish people that was confiscated by the Arabs who terrorized the Jews and expelled them from the Arab countries.

P.S.

Mahmoud Abbas has no right to demand anything, he belongs in jail.
The Arabs cannot be trusted – Mahmoud Abbas aka Abu Mazen the financier of the Munich Olympics massacre and mastermind of the Achille Lauro, a multiple Murderer and convicted murderer on the run. (Where-ever the Muslims are in the world there is upheaval, killing and destruction).

It is time to put Mahmoud Abbas in jail where he belongs and charge him with crimes against humanity and murder charges for being complicit in terror attacks and the death of many people and inciting terror and violence.

Israel's rights to the land are ingrained in history, archaeological findings, international law and possession - YJ Draiman

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 Palestine aka The Land of Israel.
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 Israel (120,440 sq. km. or 46,332 sq. miles valued today in the trillions of dollars). Most of these expelled Jewish families from Arab countries were resettled in The Land of Israel Israel.
Over the past 69 years Israel has become a thriving nation with exemplary innovation in education, technology, high tech industry and medicine. Many nations admire Israel's outstanding development and innovation, and the world nations have come to depend on it. Israel has always been extending a helping hand to any nation that wants to learn and advance in industry, technology and medicine.
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 Arab-Palestinian State on Land allocated to the Jewish people. The Arab-Palestinians live on charity from the nations of the world. They are unwilling to help themselves. 
After the 1967 war when Israel defeated the 5 Arab armies who tried to destroy it, Israel started employing many of the Arabs in the liberated Jewish territory, educating them in agriculture and water resources. In the following years the standard of living of the Arabs jumped 5 fold and more, and their economy and housing blossomed. 
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 Israel, tried to take the Jewish land by force and lost 4 wars in a span of 25 years.

The Arab-Palestinians current actions and activities in the political and legal arena is a result of losing 4 wars and various battles with Israel. They not only could not win ground, but in fact have caused themselves a downward spiral toward economic desolation.

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 Israel into surrendering territory to the Arab-Palestinians. The Arabs are trying to initiate land piracy camouflaged as legal rights to The Land of Israel.

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 Israel and elsewhere. The Media has a responsibility to deliver fair and unbiased reporting. They influence the information that people rely on. It is an awesome responsibility and it must be handled with factual un-slanted reporting. People’s lives depend on it; maybe yours or someone you love. Do we need a legal task force to discipline the Media when they intentionally distort the truth and or stage events for Media sensationalism? I would like your comments and input.

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 Israel and Jerusalem. r9
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).
Jewish people pray at least 3 times a day, remembering Jerusalem and the Jewish Temple destruction. Pleading the Jewish goal and aspiration to return to Israel and rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem - where it was before it was destroyed and desecrated by the enemies of the Jews. Most of the Jewish prayers for thousands of years recite the love of Israel and the Jewish aspirations to return to their ancestral land and bring back its glory and holiness.
At Jewish weddings they break a glass in memory of Jerusalem and the aspiration to return and build the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem.
Every day at the end of the meal the Jews recite a blessing and thank G-d for providing sustenance and beseech G-d to return and rebuild the temple in Jerusalem.
Most Jewish prayers mention our glorious memory of Jerusalem and the Jewish Temple and pleading to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the Jewish Temple.

In Israel, in order to be a realist you must believe in miracles.
Ben Gurion

"Nobody does Israel any service by proclaiming its 'right to exist.' [As a Jewish State] Israel's right to exist, like that of the United States, Saudi Arabia and 152 other states, is axiomatic and unreserved. Israel's legitimacy is not suspended in midair awaiting acknowledgement. . . .There is certainly no other state, big or small, young or old, that would consider mere recognition of its 'right to exist' a favor, or a negotiable concession."

Abba Eban
