UN in 1947: âHere is a state for you, the Jews, and here is a state for you, the Arabs.â
The Jews: âAwesome. Thanks. Weâve only been waiting for this for thousands of years.â
The Arabs: âSorry no. Weâd rather attack than have a state. We donât want a state. We want no Israel.â
The Jews: âSorry you attacked and lost.â
The Arabs: âDonât worry. Weâll be back.â
The Jews: âHere. Take land. Make a state. We just want peace.â
The Arabs: âNo. No state. No Israel.â
The Jews in 1967 (Khartoum summit): âHere. Take land. Make a state. We just want peace.â
The Arabs: âNo. No state. No Israel.â
The Jews in 1991 (Madrid Conference): âHere. Take land. Make a state. We just want peace.â
The Arabs: âNo. No state. No Israel.â
The Jews in 2000 (Camp David Summit): âHere. Take land. Make a state. We just want peace.â
The Arabs: âNo. No state. No Israel.â
The Jews in 2001 (Taba Sunmit), 2005 (Disengagement), 2007 (Annapolis conference), 2008 (realignment plan), 2010, 2013 (Joint peace talks), 2019 (Bahrain workshop), 2020 (Trump peace plan): âHere. Take land. Make a state. We just want peace.â
The Arabs: âNo. No state. No Israel.â
The world in 2024: âLetâs give them a state.â
The Arabs: âNo. No state. No Israel.â
The Jews: âOk, no state for you.â
The world? âThose Jews!â
And then there are the wars that the Arabs attacked the Jews and lost: 1948 (war of independence), 1967 (six day war), 1973 (Yom Kippur war), 1982 (Lebanon war), 1987 (first intifada), 2000 (second intifada), 2006 (second Lebanon war), 2008 (operation cast lead), 2012 (operation pillar of defense), 2014 (operation protective edge), 2021 (operation guardian of the walls), 2023 (operation swords of iron).
The fact that there is a single human being on planet earth who still doesnât get the following fact is insane and mind boggling.
The Jews want peace. The Arabs who call themselves Palestinians do not. They never have. They never will.
Want proof?
The PLO: The Palestinian liberation organization was established on May 28th, 1964. There were no settlements then. There was no occupation. What exactly were they looking to liberate? The answer is Israel, every last inch of it.
There was Arab terror against Jews well before there was any occupation. There was Arab terror against Jews before there was even a state of Israel.
1929, for example. Arabs massacred Jews in Hebron. Why? It was 1929. Israel was established in 1948.
How exactly does that work? Were they massacring Jews to resist the future occupation?
Anyone who thinks that offering the Palestinians a state will solve anything is a fool. Period. Full stop.
Itâs time the world learned Arabic. The Palestinians want dead Jews. They say it, they vote for it, they act towards it, and then they live stream it.
And yes, I said Palestinian, not Hamas.
The Palestinian people elected Hamas. Thousands of them participated in October 7th in one way or another. Close to 90% of the Palestinians support Hamas.
The Palestinian people exist from day one for the sole purpose of destroying Israel. Itâs their entire identity.
They keep trying and keep failing.
They donât seem to learn their lesson and neither does the international community.
Israel wants peace. Israel is willing to make compromises for peace. Israel also knows well how to handle its enemies when necessary. It has a lot of experience.
If you are still reading, and disagree with anything I wrote above, kindly tell me what is inaccurate about what I said and if you canât, if you agree with the facts I listed here, tell me please how, in 2024, after October 7th, anyone still thinks the Palestinians want or deserve a state.
Congratulations on completing your course on the Middle East. You are now officially more knowledgeable about Israel and the conflict than 99% of Gen Z and pro Palestinian activities who take to the streets every day chanting for the murder of Jews.
Chris Hedges: Israelâs Willing Executioners Hundreds of thousands of people are being forced to flee, once again, after more than half of Gazaâs population took sanctuary in the border town of Rafah. This is part of Israelâs sadistic playbook.
Raffa is where all the tunnels are that are used to smuggle everything in from Egypt. These tunnels are the oldest and most fortified. The northern tunnels have been pretty much destroyed and are no longer useable. Also remember that Raffa used to straddle the Gaza / Egypt border and Egypt essentially destroyed the part of Raffa that was on their side.
Hamas depends on their tunnels for their very survival. That is why they have returned to Raffa and it is their last stand, if Israel is allowed to go in there and finish the job. Israel is going to take out Hamas and their tunnels and with a little luck maybe bury them in their own tunnels. Israel has technology where they drop a device that deploys a rapidly expanding foam that essentially makes an airtight plug that is next to impossible to remove.
