Now, here's a conversation worth listening to (no need to have one's eyes glued to the screen!)
The indefatigable Professor Alan Dershowitz talks, for just under an hour to Rabbi Marc Golub, about his steadfast championship of Israel, the Six Day War, the lamentable impact of Arab rejectionism (by both the PLO and the PFLP), the difficulties he has experienced from the antisemites and anti-Zionists of the Hard Left (including the so-called "Jewish Voice for Peace"), the "very frightening" erosion of support for Israel among the left of the Democratic Party and among the party's younger elements, why Bernie Sanders is beyond the pale, the pernicious influence of J-Street ("Is J-Street Anti-Israel?" "No. It Just is Not Pro-Israel ...It Tries to Appeal to the Extreme Left"), why he himself remains a member of the Democratic Party, and much more.

However, by contrast to the Arab hardliners, Ed Husain wrote recently in The Spectator:
'A new narrative is emerging in the Middle East. New maps of the Muslim mind are being drawn and old hatreds are on the run. The anti-Semitic craze to destroy Israel was powerful in the 1960s, uniting Egypt’s President Nasser with his fellow Arabs. But now, Sunni Arab neighbours are changing course. Islamist leaders are losing their appeal — at a time when Iran, with its brand of theological fascism, poses a threat to Israel and the Arab world alike.
Polls show that the percentage of Arabs expressing trust in Islamist parties has fallen by well over a third since the uprisings of 2011. Three-quarters of Iraqis say they do not trust Islamist parties at all, and the number of young people who say they’re ‘not religious’ is also on the rise. This generation wants Arab leaders to increase economic prosperity and minimise political conflicts. And to build alliances, including with Israel.... Israel is coming to be regarded as a benign neighbour....
There are enough historical and scriptural narratives of Muslim-Jewish fraternity to form the basis for rapprochement. The enmity has, historically, been a recent blip. With an assertive Iran and an uninterested West, the Arabs and Jews have a shared interest in building a lasting alliance with each other.
This may yet be the decade of peace.'Read Husain's entire article here

ReplyDeletePALESTINIAN KINGS OF PALESTINE
by Mr. Cohen
===================================
In our times, historians still possess the names and dates of every King of England and every Prime Minister of Great Britain from the year 899 until now [year 2020]:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_monarchs
Historians also possess similar information about the leaders of other nations, like: France, Russia, Denmark, Sweden, etc:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_French_monarchs
We even possess a complete list of all Presidents of
the United States of America from 1789 until [year 2020]:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_presidents_of_the_United_States
Where is the list of Palestinian Kings of Palestine?
That list does not exist, because there were never any Palestinian Kings of Palestine; because the Palestinian nation is a fictional and fraudulent entity, created for the specific purpose of stealing land from the Jewish people, through deception.
PS: The names of the Kings of Israel are in the Bible.

Abdul Hameed al Ghabin
[Saudi writer and political analyst] said:
“How can we achieve peace if the Palestinian people remain without a place to call home? The answer is simple:
Jordan is already 78% of historical Palestine. Jordanians of Palestinian origin constitute more than 80% of the population according to U.S. intelligence cables leaked in 2010. Jordan is essentially already the Palestinian Arab state.
The only problem is, the King of Jordan refuses to acknowledge this.”

Jonathan S. Tobin said:
ReplyDelete“As our Evelyn Gordon wrote in a prescient COMMENTARY [magazine] article published in January 2010, by signaling its willingness to withdraw from some territory, the Israelis did not convince anyone of their good intentions.
To the contrary, such concessions reinforced the conviction that Israel was a thief in possession of stolen property.
The reaction from the Palestinians and hostile Europeans was not gratitude for the generosity of the Israelis in giving up land to which they too had a claim, but a demand that it be forced to give up even more.
Land-for-peace schemes and a belief in two states on the part of Israelis has always led most Palestinians to believe that their goal of forcing the Jews out of the entire country was more realistic, not less so.”

ReplyDelete“Like many Jewish organizations, J Street is seduced by lofty slogans like ‘pro-Israel/pro-peace’.
These words are intended to give the impression that all that Israel has to do is immediately withdraw from the territories, and then peace would ultimately break out.
This ignores the empirical evidence of what happened after the withdrawal from southern Lebanon in May of 2000, giving Hezbollah and their 150,000 missiles easy striking distance to Israel.
It also ignores the internally gut-wrenching Gaza withdrawal of 2005, where the land has been used to launch thousands of rockets* and incendiary devices launched from kites and balloons, making life for those on Gaza’s neighboring communities a living hell and destroying thousands of acres of Israel’s agricultural land.”

When Doves Cry by Martin Sherman
https://www.jns.org/opinion/when-doves-cry/
===================================
ReplyDeleteOVERLOOKED REASONS WHY
PEACE NEGOTIATIONS FAIL:
=====================================
[1] Every time Israel expresses willingness to make major territorial giveaways in exchange for worthless promises, they give new hope to those people who want Israel to vanish completely.
[2] Every time Israel expresses willingness to make territorial giveaways, they convince more people that the land does not belong to Israel, because if the land really belongs to Israel, then why would they be willing to give it away to their enemies?
[3] Israel's willingness to make territorial compromises is misinterpreted by Arabs and Muslims as a sign of weakness; and the perception weakness tells Arabs and Muslims to attack, not make peace.
[4] In Arab and Muslim culture, written contracts and treaties do not have the same sacred binding character they do in Europe and the Americas. One possible reason for this is the historically low rate of literacy among Arabs and Muslims.
Another possible reason for this is that Islam teaches that treaties that Muslims make with non-Muslims can be broken as soon as it is to the advantage of Muslims to do so.
