So let us peasants try to understand. Arabs invade Israel 5 times; launch 20 years of terror attacks which leaves thousands of Jews and Israeli Arabs dead and wounded ; and regularly declaim, march, flotilla, or clearly state in their media that they want Israel destroyed and most Jews murdered. Now the leaders of the Arabs in Gaza and the West Bank are demanding yet another Arab 'state' as a 'home', for these mythical Palestinians, which they assure the world will 'end violence' against Israel? So let's understand. Arabs launch wars, terror attacks, and racist vitriol against a tiny state and the UN might reward them in September 2011 with another state? How dumb have we become? The Balfour declaration of 1917, and the UN division of the British Levantine Mandate into two parts, Israel and Jordan, reflected on the ground reality. The Jews by 1917 were already the dominant group in places like Jerusalem and elsewhere along the lines of demarcation. The first two waves of Jewish immigrants in the 1880s and 1910s, transformed a barren desert, where much of the land was owned by absentee landholders of the Ottoman empire; into a modern state. Churchill remarked in the mid 1920s that it was the Jews, now more numerous throughout much of Israel than the Arabs, who had created jobs, infrastructure, schools and health-care. The Jews transformed barren terrain into a forward march of European civilisation. And what exactly did the Arabs create? Nothing. The Palestinian people are of course a myth. They are Arabs. Since the Jewish state's inception the Arabs within Israel have been used as pawns and puppets by Arabs states desiring the eradication of the Jewish state. The current and valid Israeli air assault on Gaza is of course the only proper response to an escalation in rocket attacks from Hamas controlled territory. Hamas is an Arab terrorist-fascist organisation whose charter of inception calls for the complete destruction of Israel and constant warfare with Jews until the Jewish state is destroyed. And we reward this? Fouad Ajami: “The Palestinians have misread what transpired at the General Assembly in 1947. True, the cause of Jewish statehood had been served by the vote on partition, but the Zionist project had already prevailed on the ground. Jewish statehood was a fait accompli perhaps a decade before that vote. All the ingredients had been secured by Labor Zionism. There was a military formation powerful enough to defeat the Arab armies, there were political institutions in place, and there were gifted leaders, David Ben-Gurion pre-eminent among them, who knew what can be had in the world of nations. The vote at the General Assembly was of immense help, but it wasn't the decisive factor in the founding of the Jewish state. The hard work had been done in the three decades between the Balfour Declaration of 1917 and the vote on partition. Realism had guided the Zionist project. We will take a state even if it is the size of a tablecloth, said Chaim Weizmann, one of the founding fathers of the Zionist endeavor. Write resource box The Cult of Hating Israel has been causing a lot of unnecessary hatred and violence. This Hating Israel Cult should not be tolerated.
