Eretz Israel is our unforgettable historic homeland...The Jews who will it shall achieve their State...And whatever we attempt there for our own benefit will redound mightily and beneficially to the good of all mankind. (Theodor Herzl, DerJudenstaat, 1896)

We offer peace and amity to all the neighbouring states and their peoples, and invite them to cooperate with the independent Jewish nation for the common good of all. The State of Israel is ready to contribute its full share to the peaceful progress and development of the Middle East.
(From Proclamation of the State of Israel, 5 Iyar 5708; 14 May 1948)

With a liberal democratic political system operating under the rule of law, a flourishing market economy producing technological innovation to the benefit of the wider world, and a population as educated and cultured as anywhere in Europe or North America, Israel is a normal Western country with a right to be treated as such in the community of nations.... For the global jihad, Israel may be the first objective. But it will not be the last. (Friends of Israel Initiative)

Jewish Delegate To UNHRC Slams "Forty Years Of Palestinianism" (video)

Recently, David G. Littman of the World Council for Progressive Judaism (who was rebuked by the president of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva for having the temerity to raise the issue Islam's oppression of women at the forum http://daphneanson.blogspot.com/2011/07/women-oppressed-under-islam-show-some.html) also delivered some home truths regarding the unrepealed 1968 PLO Covenant, Arafat's description in 1983 of Jesus as "the first Palestinian martyr," Palestinian antisemitism, and the Palestinian claim to a Canaanite origin that predates and negates the Jewish People's claim to its ancestral homeland.  As long as the Fatah and Hamas Charters remain unchanged, he warned, peace will prove elusive.


And don't miss Steven J. Rosen's article in Foreign Affairs, which argues that the Palestinian state expected to be recognised by the UN next month will be no state at all: http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2011/08/03/the_palestinians_imaginary_state
