...the now aforementioned western countries...some of whom are NATO members... willingly have chosen to ignore right from wrong and good from evil, and have self reimposed the victim v. perpetrator mentality onto the “Jewish State of Israel.” And why so? I believe it's most likely being done in the name of abject “fear”...“fear” that what was done to Israel on October 7th will, in time, happen to their countries as well. But the truth they refuse to see is that it already has happened albeit on a smaller scale, for now anyway, for islamic incursion coupled with islamic based terrorism into both Europe and Australia has now reached record high numbers as has corresponding rapes, murders, and other assorted nasties.

 

Simply, those countries turning their backs on Israel have, at best, bought themselves nothing but a bit of time for another truth of what they “fear” is that by showing any support for Israel would see the UN then turning its back on them when the Palestinians do eventually come “a-knocking” on their respective doors.

On the UN's Upcoming Palestinian Statehood Vote

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots, Right Side Patriots Radio

As worldwide antisemitism and outright hatred for the "Jewish State of Israel" seems to be showing no signs of abating anytime soon, especially with the upcoming UN vote regarding Palestinian statehood now fast approaching, it got me thinking about why all this hatred for the Jewish people. And know this hatred goes well beyond the still being taught in some Christian denominational churches that the Jews killed Jesus, never mind the historical truth that Pontius Pilate and the politics of the time were what killed Jesus. And even when that indisputable fact is taken out of the mix, the only reason that actually makes any sense to me is that the haters are actually "jealous" of the very people they so love to hate...jealous of the Jewish people's tenacity; their economic successes; the value they place on education and family; and their unquestionable will to survive in the face of continuing adversity.

Throughout documented history no people have been persecuted more than the Jewish people. And while many history books do teach certain historical facts in relation to the Jews, like their being slaves in ancient Egypt and God's promise to Moses of a Jewish homeland; like the “Babylonian exile” in 597 BCE which set the stage for the Jewish people being "stateless" until the 1948 birth of the “Jewish State of Israel;" like the Spanish Inquisition (1478-1834} where Jews were expelled and/or murdered for being supposed “heretics” who converted from Judaism to Catholicism; as well as the Russian "pogroms" of 1the mid-19th to early 20th century where Jews were rounded up and massacred with Russian government approval; the fact remains that nothing could have foreseen the hatred and jealousy for the Jewish people becoming so overtly overwhelming that it culminated in what became known as the "Holocaust."

Simply, the "Holocaust" was the cleverly crafted “systematic genocide" of over six million Jews...men, women, children, and babies...perpetrated by the Nazis both before and during World War II. And while the world at large did know...at least to some limited degree...what was happening to Europe's Jewish population, they willingly closed their eyes to the unfolding horror and did little to nothing to help stop what was, still is, and in my opinion, will forever remain the greatest human tragedy in all of mankind's recorded history.

Nothing...absolutely nothing...compares to the planned and then executed annihilation of six million Jews...killed not in battle but were “selectively chosen” to either be gassed, shot, hung, starved, worked to death, medically experimented on, and then burned to ashes in ovens or thrown into mass graves not only in an effort to try and erase the horrific deeds that were committed against their person, but to deem their very existence as meaningless. And it's this tragedy alone...done for no other reason than they were Jews...was documented via not only the meticulous Nazi records kept, but by photographs, newsreels, testimonies of survivors, and by the words of those American and Soviet troops who helped in the liberation of the camps...that has led me to believe that it's time we put two specific current events into their proper perspective.

First, it's time we no longer give “lip service” to those who are still demanding "reparations" for their long dead ancestors 85 years of slavery here in what is now and what officially was then the United States. That so-called “debt” has been paid way many times over. And second, it's time that those who continue to claim that Israel is committing "genocide" against the Palestinian people...or Gazans as some call themselves...still living in what remains of the Gaza Strip to please keep their mouths shut after Israel's rightful retaliation for the horrific events of what has come to be known as "Black Saturday" ...as in October 7, 2023...the day Hamas tried to finish, at least in part, the job Hitler thankfully failed to do.

Again, the unquestionable historical fact remains that the Jewish people have been on the receiving end of both centuries of violence and hate, which culminated in the “Holocaust.” But from the ashes of the "Holocaust" arose a new generation of Jews who not only founded a nation...the now and forever “Jewish State of Israel”...but whose children and grandchildren stand united in the fact that not only is "Never Again" now, but that "Never Again" does unequivocally mean "Never Again"...no ifs, ands, or buts allowed into the discourse.

And with that said "Never Again" now takes on a whole new and quite dangerous meaning as the UN's late September meeting will once again see on its agenda the official creating of a Palestinian State...the ever so infamous, non-workable “two-state solution”...a solution which would actually reward those who do continue to wish both the "Jewish State of Israel" and the Jewish people dead. And if you think the violence and hate will end with the UN basically trying to orchestrate the total demise of Israel as a “Jewish State,” you best think twice for the haters and one world government sorts...which seems to be the hallmark of the UN...will surely come for the Christians next...to think otherwise is foolhardy at best.

So as Israel's former European supporters are now turning on her one by one, turning in support of islamic terrorists whose self-welcomed incursion into their countries came replete with unseen knives, if you will, being held to their collective throats, we find France, the UK, Austria, Finland, Canada, Australia, and now Germany...as if Germany hasn't already done enough to the Jews...joining together in support of a “two-state solution.” And they do so while ignoring the fact that the Palestinians had already been given the Gaza Strip as a homeland back in 2005 after the “Oslo Accords,” and promptly turned it into both a hell hole and terrorist enclave by electing Hamas as their governing body.

And this now outwardly turning on Israel started just this past July courtesy of a UN “confab” (which the US and Israel rightfully did not attend) led by host countries France and Saudi Arabia...seemingly two peas in the same Israel and Jew hating pod.

And so the media then began spewing its lies about Israel committing “genocide” against the Palestinians still left in Gaza and doing so via starvation, while they completely ignored nor reported on the fact that Hamas operatives were being caught stealing the humanitarian aide that was indeed flowing into Gaza. And also throw into this media stirred pot of lies the cleverly crafted and orchestrated “staged photos” of supposedly starving and dying children that were being sold to the world as truth...that is until said photos were finally exposed as the fakes they were.

But still the hatred for Jews and Israel continues on unabated no matter that Hamas operatives continue to perpetrate acts of terrorism within Israel proper. One case in point, less than two weeks ago a pair of islamist terrorists opened fire on a crowded Jerusalem bus resulting in at least seven Israeli deaths, and many more wounded.

Sadly, the now aforementioned western countries...some of whom are NATO members... willingly have chosen to ignore right from wrong and good from evil, and have self reimposed the victim v. perpetrator mentality onto the “Jewish State of Israel.” And why so? I believe it's most likely being done in the name of abject “fear”...“fear” that what was done to Israel on October 7th will, in time, happen to their countries as well. But the truth they refuse to see is that it already has happened albeit on a smaller scale, for now anyway, for islamic incursion coupled with islamic based terrorism into both Europe and Australia has now reached record high numbers as has corresponding rapes, murders, and other assorted nasties.

Simply, those countries turning their backs on Israel have, at best, bought themselves nothing but a bit of time for another truth of what they “fear” is that by showing any support for Israel would see the UN then turning its back on them when the Palestinians do eventually come “a-knocking” on their respective doors. What a sad but truthful commentary on misplaced loyalty indeed. And so these countries will cowardly acquiesce to the extremist ideologies being pushed forward by the terrorist condoning, Palestinian supporting UN when the already on-the-agenda Palestinian statehood vote does take place later this month.

“Saving face” with their UN buddies is important to them even while knowing that a “two-state solution” is just window dressing and nothing more. Why so? Because the UN knows well that while they actually have no legal authority to take land away from one sovereign nation...in this case Israel...and give its land to a newly made up nation...as in Palestine...it still helps them perpetrate the on going but laughable ruse that the Palestinians will then in having a homeland suddenly coexist with Israel in both peace and security, while at the same time knowing it keeps the bottom of the Arab “cast system” barrel Palestinians corralled in the Middle East instead of their having to forcibly help in relocating any of these people to the aforementioned nations.

Remember, no country wants these people...not even their Arab brethren...no country wants the economic burden they bring with them...plus the known fact that the Palestinians seem to cause trouble and be trouble wherever they go, and that, most assuredly, will again come into play.

Simply, those countries still claiming to want a “two-state solution”...those saying they will vote for said solution even knowing that a sure to come “NO” vote by the United States will prevent it from happening courtesy of our exercising our veto power in the UN Security Council...do though want to see their vote helping to keep the Palestinian-Israeli fight ongoing replete with its bloodshed and depravity, but keeping it on Israel's doorstep and not on their own...it cannot be said any more directly than that.

 

Antisemitism/anti-Israel sentiments remain alive and well in many of the hearts of the aforementioned countries leaders as well as in increasing numbers of their people... while memories of the “Holocaust” and centuries of Jewish persecution and misplaced hate now sadly once again be damned. Case closed.

The Political Pratfall of Indoctrinated Hate 

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio 

The Op-ed posted here is this authors opinion alone,and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com or Google.

...Fact #1: no people throughout both ancient and modern history have been more vilified and persecuted than the Jewish people...not black slaves nor the sum total of Christianity for neither has ever truly experienced or even come close to experiencing the true horror known as the “Holocaust.”

Fact #2: Both Jews and Christians share in the belief that there is but “One God.” However, what knowingly seems to be forgotten is that if not for Abraham becoming the first Jew, Christianity nor even islam might exist today. Without Abraham having cast aside the idolatry and paganism of his day, we might still be worshiping a golden statute with the body of a man and the head of a bird. Simply, it's our Judeo-Christian belief in “One God” that separates our mindsets from those of the ancients, and yet that belief has not only laid the groundwork for the hatred of Jews that still exists today, but it has allowed for the “believe as I do or else” crowd's mentality to permeate and corrupt the current religious and political discourse.

The Political Pratfall of Indoctrinated Hate 

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio 

The Op-ed posted here is this authors opinion alone,and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com or Google. 

Fact: as per the Anti-Defamation League's “Audit of Antisemitic Incidents 2023” report, the number of antisemitic incidents occurring in the U.S. between the beginning of 2014 to the end of 2023...saw in 2014, 912 antisemitic incidents being committed against American Jews with that number steadily increasing to 8,873 incidents by the end of 2023, with 5,204 of those occurring after Hamas' October 7th attack on Israel. A sad commentary indeed.

And as if on cue the protests are back...not the BLM protests coupled with actual riots taking place in the months leading up to and after the 2020 presidential election...but protests calling for not only the destruction of the Jewish State of Israel and in many cases the Jewish people themselves, but protests tinged with anti-American rhetoric as well. But mostly it's fervent antisemitism on display as those taking part in said protests deem Israel the oppressor regarding all things Gaza while heralding Hamas and their Palestinian supporters as being the victims of a war Hamas themselves started on what will forever be known as “Black Saturday.”

And as pro-Palestinian/pro Hamas protesters took over a number of major U.S. college and university campuses, our Democrat leaders, for the most part, remained eerily silent. Why so...because they foolishly thought that in their silence they could play both sides against the middle, and come out unscathed come the November election.

Oh how wrong they are, but before I get into that let me expose some of the outright lies and misinformation that helped fuel the indoctrinated hate against Israel and the Jewish people in general...hate that's been around, as per biblical scholars and historical evidence, since Friday, April 3rd, AD 33, at approximately 3 PM, the day when Jesus of Nazareth died on the cross on orders given by Pontius Pilate alone. Simply, the Jews played no part in Jesus' death except for the fact that this was the very moment in time when they became a “scapegoat.” But first three key facts.

Fact #1: no people throughout both ancient and modern history have been more vilified and persecuted than the Jewish people...not black slaves nor the sum total of Christianity for neither has ever truly experienced or even come close to experiencing the true horror known as the “Holocaust.”

Fact #2: Both Jews and Christians share in the belief that there is but “One God.” However, what knowingly seems to be forgotten is that if not for Abraham becoming the first Jew, Christianity nor even islam might exist today. Without Abraham having cast aside the idolatry and paganism of his day, we might still be worshiping a golden statute with the body of a man and the head of a bird. Simply, it's our Judeo-Christian belief in “One God” that separates our mindsets from those of the ancients, and yet that belief has not only laid the groundwork for the hatred of Jews that still exists today, but it has allowed for the “believe as I do or else” crowd's mentality to permeate and corrupt the current religious and political discourse.

Fact 3: When aggrandized lies told suddenly morph into facts believed, one not only loses their ability to think for oneself, but one actually allows hate to overwhelm and then overtake the sensibilities comprising that person's very soul. And when this happens how easy it is for evil folks who feed on pushing forward messages of hate to easily overtake the mindset of those too weak to not only push back, but those who blindly follow a cause without their having to learn if said cause is just or not.

And it's courtesy of the liberal media's one-sided propaganda machine coupled with liberal educators pushing their decidedly one-sided agendas on impressionable young minds that allowed the pro-Palestinian/anti-Israel movement to be born, and with it overt acts of antisemitism becoming, for some, an acceptable new norm.

And this new norm actually has roots in religion itself as it revolves around the Jews being made the “scapegoat” for Jesus' death. Simply, the Jews had nothing to do with Jesus' death as proven by what are “historical facts” including that with the Jews being slaves of the Romans they, as slaves, had no power whatsoever over who was or was not to be killed. Jesus..the man...the rabbi...who wanted to “reform” Judaism...if you will...not replace Judaism...was ordered to be killed for the simple reason that the Romans and especially Pontius Pilate, deemed him to be a “political threat” to their and his rule. And besides, the Romans were known to keep meticulous records and yet no...I repeat no...Roman records nor physical manuscripts bear any mention of a man named Barabbas existing let alone being released. In fact, except for the words in the New Testament there is no...again I repeat no...mention of a Roman or Jewish custom that demanded the release of a Jewish prisoner on the eve of Passover nor is there any mention of it in any Jewish texts.

Simply, Pontius Pilate ordered Jesus...who was born, lived, preached, and died as a Jew....to be killed out of political necessity and the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, written by the hand of man, fabricated the story...not of Jesus' actual death...but embellished it for need of a “scapegoat” to draw more followers to their cause. And unfortunately, with the Jews being but slaves they became the perfect scapegoat as Christianity grew both in numbers and power. And when power is craved “scapegoats” are needed even more, and the Jews served the narrative well...and still do for some even though in 1965 the Catholic Church published the “Nostra Aetate” releasing Jewish “responsibility” for the death of Jesus.

And while most Catholics have embraced and honored this document, sadly a number of other Christian denominations still have not which is why some of today's antisemitic acts committed sees too many remaining silent. Remember, silence at times sends a message of agreement, and for some said agreement simmers below the surface ready to be reawakened when and if need be.

And when agreement did resurface, which is exactly what happened a few weeks ago, some of our top universities and colleges started seeing antisemitic, anti-Israel, and anti-American protests, coupled with pro-Hamas and pro-Palestinian supporters taking over their campuses. But what those students protesting along with, in my opinion, their George Soros funded instigators and supporters... whose numbers are way greater than the students taking part...choose to forget is that Israel's rightful retaliation on Gaza...which is Hamas' main base of operation... was in response to the October 7th savage and brutal murders that left more than 1,200 Israeli civilians dead and hundreds of hostages being taken.

So what exactly do these folks want as their anti-Israel and anti-Jew rhetoric continues to spread across our nation? They claim to want a cease-fire in Gaza and for Israel's killing to stop, while at the same time demanding that America's universities stop funding companies that they alone claim profit from or engage in Israel’s ongoing military campaign and occupation of Gaza. But again what the indoctrinated again choose to ignore is that Gaza has not been controlled nor occupied by Israel since 2005.

Simply, the ever foolish indoctrinated students along with their “bought and paid for” Soros instigators, continue to protest in support of a people and their government...as in Hamas...that they themselves did so willingly vote into power, and who, for the past two decades, has not only been “stealing the people blind”...but a government that has been one of the key instigators in the ongoing Middle East unrest. And this alone negates the protesters claim that Israel's counterattacks reached “disproportionate and inhumane levels.” Bottom line...the Palestinian's plight...the Palestinian death toll...lays squarely on Hamas'...not Israel's...shoulders what with the majority of Palestinians still supporting Hamas.

But something else forgotten...something critical to the entirety of the protest discourse...is the words of the First Amendment itself which states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

Reread those words carefully for the answer to actually stopping these protests, and with it their decidedly antisemitic rhetoric, lies within the words “the right of the people to peacefully assemble,” for the protests have now proven to be anything but peaceful. “Peacefully” does not mean one has the right to destroy property, take over another's property whether it be public of private property, nor does it give one the right to trash grounds nor physically injure others. “Peacefully” does not mean inciting violence, bringing weapons to “assemble,” nor does it give one the right to literally call for the deaths of those whose faith you find distasteful via instigation and incitement to do bodily harm, which no matter how one tries to twist it is not a Constitutional right.

And with the protesters also spewing “Death to America” chants, I believe they have opened themselves up to immediate arrest for those three words do not in any way petition for a “redress of grievances,” for with the word “death” they are...in my opinion...calling for the overthrow of our government...as in insurrection plans in the making. So with this let's circle back to this article's third paragraph where I speak about the silence from Democrat leaders trying to play both sides against the middle.

So here lets start with the fact that once New York police officers in riot gear were called in to remove the anti-Israel/ pro-Hamas protesters at Columbia University after they refused the university president's orders to “disband” their two-week pigsty of an encampment set up on university grounds, the stakes for Democrats grew much higher. 

How so? As the protests started spreading across college and university campuses nationwide, acts of antisemitism spread along with it as did the Democrats fear that the unease now being created could directly affect the November election. And while that fear is indeed justified it might not be in the way that most think. And why... simply because radicalized young people like the pro-Hamas contingency who do so like “talking the talk” while acting out an activist part, actually seldom go out to vote. It's the decent young people who vote...those going to college and university to learn... those not going simply to make radicalized political statements while garnering their 15 minutes of infamy.

So where exactly is the Democrats fear coming from and why their silence regarding both the condemnation of the acts being perpetrated and the agitators who are pushing the indoctrinated hate forward? The answer is really quite simple in that if Democrat leaders dare to bring even more focus on the mayhem taking place, it could actually backfire on them by uniting the growing collective of pro-Israel, pro-Jewish supporters together. The “from the river to the sea” nonsensical rhetoric does get old pretty fast, as does Biden's two-faced stance towards Israel including his statement that while he “condemns the antisemitic protests,” he quickly followed it up with words “condemning those who don’t understand what’s going on with the Palestinians.”

 

In other words playing both sides against the middle in hopes of garnering the votes of those who not only relish in hate, but those who help perpetrate hate. And this, my friends, is a scenario that more times than not never ends well for the party or parties involved. Case closed.

A Bad Resolution...An Unacceptable Solution...Peace Questionable At Best

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio

The Op-ed posted here is my opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com nor Google.

...And then there's Jordan, the country the Palestinians rightfully should call home. King Abdullah II (the “kinglet” as he is known to some) has stated on numerous occasions that Jordan will take in no Palestinian refugees for fear that Israel's government wants to “permanently expel” all Palestinians from Israel, thus eliminating demands for Palestinian statehood. But truthfully what Abdullah and others really wanted is the total elimination of Israel, and the replacing of her with an islamic Palestinian state.  

 

But what's odd is that with most Palestinians being of Jordanian descent and lineage, and with the Palestinians already in Jordan being fully naturalized citizens who hold Jordanian passports, work permits, drivers licenses, etc., the truth is that Jordan is already an existing Palestinian homeland just with a different name. So exactly why doesn't Abdullah want to take his own people back into the fold? Simply, because Abdullah just doesn't care as witnessed by these words said to the German Chancellor on October 17, 2023, “This is a situation (meaning the war and statehood) that has to be handled within Gaza and the West Bank, and you don’t have to carry this out on the shoulders of others”...as in force the refuges on Jordan.

A Bad Resolution...An Unacceptable Solution...Peace Questionable At Best

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio

The Op-ed posted here is my opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com nor Google.

Friday, October 6, 2023 saw a peaceful day in the Middle East...peaceful between Israel and the Palestinians living in Gaza. On October 7, 2023...a day forever to be known as “Black Saturday”...the Iranian financed and armed terrorist organization Hamas...the governing body voted into power by the Palestinian people in 2006...broke said peace in the most horrific, barbaric, and savage of ways. Whole families were slaughtered in their sleep; women were gang raped; people were burnt alive, others were beheaded; a baby was cooked to death in an oven; and over 200 civilian hostages were taken. Blood was everywhere in a number of Kibbutzim near the Gaza border for no other reason than they were Jews...for no other reason than Iran and Hamas (a direct outshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood's Palestinian branch) wished both Israel and the Jewish people wiped from the face of the map.

And while condemnation of Hamas was worldwide at first, in time it morphed into acts akin to the lead in to the Holocaust as antisemitism once again resurfaced both here at home and abroad after Israel retaliated against the acts taken...acts not unlike those of Nazi Germany.

“Over kill” many called it as more Palestinians were killed in Israel's retaliatory strikes than were Israelis on October 7th, but unlike the victims in Israel most of the the Palestinians who died, died because they did not heed Israel's warning to vacate certain targeted areas where Hamas operatives were believed to be hiding. And while Israel always tries to keep civilian casualties to a minimum... they are the only country to warn an enemy's civilian population to vacate an area before they fire the first rocket...but unfortunately most did not resulting in a high Palestinian death toll. But the numbers cited seem to be over estimated by Gaza officials who knew Israel's goal is to completely eliminate Hamas, dare they ever try to strike Israel again.

And as Israel's offensive rightfully continues on, so too has condemnation from international communities who believe that they have a right to tell the sovereign nation of Israel what they can and cannot do no matter that it was their border alone that was breached. Israel did not initiate this war but they will end the war on their terms alone. And as antisemitism continues to rise, the “European Parliament” took it upon themselves to pass a “resolution” calling for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. 

And while they demanded two preset conditions, the fact remains that the “European Parliament” has no right dictating to Israel...nor any nation not part of the “European Union”...what they can or cannot do in both matters and time of war.

So while the “EP” made clear its support for Israel...to some degree that is...their first condition was a call for an “immediate and permanent ceasefire” with said ceasefire beginning with the “immediate and unconditional release” of all the hostages taken. And their second condition was that Hamas must be totally “dismantled”...no mention of the word “destroyed.” Word semantics maybe...an act of veiled placation more than likely. And in regards to the remaining known hostages, does anyone still believe that most or any of the hostages taken are still alive...I sadly do not.

Here are the reasons for my stating that the “EP” only supports Israel “to some degree,” with the first reason being the fact that said “resolution” also stated that its members must address and denounce what they called “the disproportionate Israeli military response, which has caused a civilian death toll on an unprecedented scale.” Denounce the death toll,..I say “no way” for the true Palestinian death toll is still unknown, and besides who is the “EP” to tell Israel what is proportionate or not, especially when many of those killed in Israel's rightful retaliatory strikes were targeted Hamas operatives and their supporters.

And second is that said “resolution” not only called for “full humanitarian access throughout the Gaza Strip;” but that the “occupation of the Palestinian territories” must end, and that the“European initiative to put the two-state solution needs to be put back on track”...as in post-haste. To all I stated I say no way...not now...not ever.

Why so? Let's start with“humanitarian aide” which must be carefully weighed as the Palestinians living in Gaza...with some referring to themselves as “Gazans”...not only willingly voted terrorists into power, but most of them supported and heralded Hamas' October 7th actions. And this was witnessed by the multitudes who gathered in Gaza's streets to welcome back their so-called “heroes” with fists and voices raised in solidarity, while they prodded and spat upon the hostages...some wounded and bleeding...as they were paraded through the streets. Those supporting barbaric savagery should be given, in my opinion, no aide at all for the very act of giving them aid allows Hamas' genocidal ideology and ensuing actions to continue on...continue on through their children...the next generation of terrorists... children indoctrinated into both hating Israel and the Jewish people almost from the time they are born.

Now as for the “European Parliament” demanding that “the occupation of the Palestinian territories (in this case Gaza) must end,” and that a “two-state solution” is the only chance for peace, here it's important to understand that technically there never has been a “Palestine” state let alone a country nor were there ever a people known as “Palestinians”...that is until then PLO leader Yassir Arafat “invented” them in the late 1960s to help push forward his radical PLO agenda. Also understand that there has been no...I repeat no...Israeli occupation of Gaza since 2005 when Israel, hoping it would help bring peace, turned Gaza over to the Palestinians who in turn voted out what was then the PLO governing body in 2006 by voting Hamas into power instead.

So how can Israel end an “occupation” that has not been in existence for almost two decades? Simply they cannot, but we can help expose the lie and hope that others learn the truth as to who the real “bad guys” are.

So what did Israel get for this Gaza gesture of peace but a continuing barrage of Hamas terrorist attacks courtesy of Iran's support. And while a “two-state solution” seems like an admirable goal, at least on paper it does...but the reality is that it's totally unattainable under the current conditions. Remember, Israel has offered Palestinian leaders numerous peace deals in the past... deals that could have resulted in Palestinian statehood...yet each offer was rejected because the Palestinians refused to lay down their weapons and acknowledge Israel's right to exist.

And now it seems they never will especially when Hamas and its supporters...including those here in the U.S...continue altering the region's history to justify their means...as in no Jewish State of Israel must exist on the land they call Palestine...land considered to be the southern part of the “Levant”... land they believe belongs to the Palestinians alone. How wrong these people are.

Here are a few historical facts, starting with the name “Palestine.” “Palestine” was first used by the Roman poet Ovid to describe a generalized region west of Mesopotamia, and later used by Roman authorities to describe an “administrative provincial category,” and nothing more.

As per the words of the Old Testament, Exodus 23:31, “I will set your border from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the Euphrates,” was the land God promised to the Jewish people, but unfortunately what comprises Israel today is less than 5% of that which God promised. And not to be forgotten is that for over four centuries prior to the first World War, said land was part of the Turkish-ruled Ottoman Empire. And it was only after the war and the empire's collapse, that the territory the British referred to as “Palestine”...which never was an Arab nor any people's sovereign nation...was assigned by the League of Nations to Great Britain to administer to. And here via what became a “mandate,” Britain was appointed with the task of establishing a “national home for the Jewish people.”

Now let's fast forward to 1948 and the creation of what became the“Jewish State of Israel.” But first let us clear the key misconception in regards to Israel's creation... the one that Israel was given to the Jewish people as compensation for the Holocaust. This is unequivocally not true for this land had already been established as a “Jewish homeland” by the League of Nations decades before. And besides, no Arabs then, nor any of the Palestinians now, have a legitimate claim to a land that was never theirs to begin with. Now coupling that with the fact Israel is but a sliver of land surrounded by millions of acres of Arab land, you'd think their fellow Arabs would give up a small piece of land for the Palestinians to call home, or at least give them refuge, but they will not. And why...because the Arab nations know that the so-called “Palestinians“ are caste-wise at the bottom of the barrel and do most assuredly breed trouble wherever they go.

Take Egypt for example who not only shares a border with Gaza but helps Israel's blockade of Gaza. Egypt had trouble with Palestinians in the past, and fears that by accepting more into their country Hamas and other militant groups, like Islamic Jihad, would be mixed in amongst the new arrivals, never mind the influx itself would create a burden on Egypt's economy. In fact, President el-Sisi stated about the Palestinians that, “It’s important for its people to stay steadfast and exist on their own land, “ but that, “Egypt will exert its utmost efforts to alleviate their suffering.”

Also, a large Palestinian presence could again “destabilize” the Sinai region. Egypt's military rid Sinai of Hamas backed militants who previously came under the guise of being refugees, and tried to set-up bases from which to attack Israel. In fact, el-Sisi feels so strongly about this that he said of Sinai, “the presence of Palestinian militants in Sinai would again become a base for attacks on Israel. Israel would have the right to defend itself...and would strike Egyptian territory.” Remember, Israel and Egypt have been at peace since 1979, and el-Sisi does not want any trouble for Egypt, especially by those in Islamic Jihad, a direct offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, a group Egypt has had much trouble with in the past.

And then there's Jordan, the country the Palestinians rightfully should call home. King Abdullah II (the “kinglet” as he is known to some) has stated on numerous occasions that Jordan will take in no Palestinian refugees for fear that Israel's government wants to “permanently expel” all Palestinians from Israel, thus eliminating demands for Palestinian statehood. But truthfully what Abdullah and others really wanted is the total elimination of Israel, and the replacing of her with an islamic Palestinian state.

But what's odd is that with most Palestinians being of Jordanian descent and lineage, and with the Palestinians already in Jordan being fully naturalized citizens who hold Jordanian passports, work permits, drivers licenses, etc., the truth is that Jordan is already an existing Palestinian homeland just with a different name. So exactly why doesn't Abdullah want to take his own people back into the fold? Simply, because Abdullah just doesn't care as witnessed by these words said to the German Chancellor on October 17, 2023, “This is a situation (meaning the war and statehood) that has to be handled within Gaza and the West Bank, and you don’t have to carry this out on the shoulders of others”...as in force the refuges on Jordan.

Not such unexpected words coming from the man who has yet to totally cut ties to the Muslim Brotherhood who, like he, remains somewhat in the shadows yet is committed to armed resistance against Israel and the aforementioned creation of an islamic Palestinian state. King Abdullah II, no matter his western appearance and mannerisms is, in my opinion, an islamist at heart.

And while some Arab nations do want ties with Israel, with some already stating the Israel does have a right to exist, others are still of the mindset that Middle East peace can only happen when, “from the river to the sea, and from the north to the south,” Israel and the Jewish people are no more. Thankfully, Israel does not see it that way nor do her true allies and friends. Case closed.
