Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Who is Casting Pearls Before Swine in the Middle East?

[American Thinker] The Biden administration deceives itself and others by proclaiming the possibility of resolving the conflict between Palestinian Jews and Palestinian Arabs on the basis of two states for two peoples.

Its proposal, covered in a thick layer of historical dust and a fog of lies, has become the American operational plan for resolving a conflict that has been consistently abandoned by both sides.

On Nov. 29, 1947, the UN decided to form a Jewish and Arab ("Palestinian") state.

On May 14, 1948, the birthday of the State of Israel, all the then-existing Arab countries and Palestinian Arabs started a war to destroy the newly formed Jewish state in order to create an Arab state on the entire territory of Western Palestine.

Israel accepted the UN decision to divide the territory into a Jewish state and an Arab state. The Arab countries and the Arab inhabitants of Palestine did not accept this partition because they considered the concept of two states for two peoples historically unjust and wrong: another solution loomed before them - one, Arab state for one, Arab Palestinian people.

The Arabs never had a state in Palestine, but did not accept its partition into Arab and Jewish parts, proposed to them by the British Peel Royal Commission in 1937, and later proposed to them by the UN in 1947. For nineteen years (1948-1967), the "Palestinian problem" was not solved by the Egyptians, Jordanians and the Palestinian Arabs themselves as a Palestinian problem, or rather it was not solved at all, for there was no demand for a Palestinian state.

The Palestinian problem was born after the crushing victory of the Israelis in the Six-Day War and their seizure of lands that were not part of the territory of the Jewish state according to the UN resolution of Nov. 29, 1947. The Palestinian problem crystallized envy of the victor who had formed a strong, prosperous state and the desire to destroy it, as well as the fantasy of peace in Palestine in the case of two states for two peoples.

"Palestinians" have become the "chosen" people, for they intend to replace the state of the chosen Jewish people with their own state.

The formal recognition of Israel by the Palestinian Authority is belied by the anti-Israeli education of its children and the monetary encouragement of the murder of Israelis - pay to slay. The fantasy of peace if the two-state solution for two peoples is realized expresses a genuine historical "disproportion." Israel is usually required to respond militarily in proportion to the next Palestinian terrorist aggression against it. But who requires peace fantasists to stop dreaming of the unattainable peace that Israel's concessions in exchange for the realization of the two-state solution would supposedly lead to, and to take a rational, "proportional" view of reality?

#5  EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has said Israel’s bombardment of Gaza will fuel hatred among Palestinians “for generations,”

This is a nice example of a fact that is completely true and is either misleading or adds nothing to the discussion.

No doubt, future Paleos will remember the Flattening of Gaza much like they remember the sNakba (sp?) back in '48. But it changes nothing because those future generations already hate the Juice for being the Juice. It is baked into their religion and culture.

The only obstacle I see to peace in the ME is that one side wants to exterminate the other no matter what the costs.

#3  Personally, I reserve the designation of "swine" for two-state western politicians.

#2  On Nov. 29, 1947, the UN decided to form a Jewish and Arab ("Palestinian") state.

So they had a UN-sanctioned "two state solution" in 1948. Who wrecked that dream? [rhetorical question, of course]

#1  Moreover, if all Israelis were to disappear tomorrow, there still wouldn't be a Palestinian state.
