Israpundit exposes the anti-Israel sentiment of Barack Hussein Obama by showing a post which if not approved by the Obama Administration would have been taken down. In essence the post equates Israeli policies toward Arabs as the same as the Nazi genocidal policies to cleanse the earth of Jews.
The post is at Organizing for America on December 29, 2008. The post is still there; however if anyone else picks up on the Israpundit exposé of BHO, I suspect will be taken down. The post was written by Lech Alex Bajan about a Professor Richard Falk of Princeton University.
The Bajan post is the typical “Palestinians” are blameless victims and the Israelis are brutal oppressors slant. It is the Arab story minus any mention of Arab history of violence, racism and hatred conducted against Jewish Israel just prior to Statehood and afterwards after 1948.
Here is Israpundit’s brief exposé.

I found a couple of essays on the geopolitical reality of the mythical rights of Arabs who call themselves Palestinians. Both are posted by Ted Belman of Israpundit yet the latter is a post of a reaction by Rev. Fumio Taku to Belman’s previous post.
The only reason refugees called Palestinians exist in Judea and Samaria (West Bank) and Gaza (Gazastan or Hamastan) is because those poor generations of poor Arab refugees were actually created by Arab invaders who needed a perpetual reason to stay in conflict with Israel.
If President Obama had any real concern about Justice he force the descendants of Arab invaders to matriculate the Arab refugees left behind back into those various nations of today’s Arab generations.

As much as I sympathize with the Birthers; however according to the Timeline that I have seen there is no way President Barack Hussein Obama was born in Kenya. Star Trek science fiction technology would have had to exist for the thought to even be conceivable.
Barack Senior married Ann Dunham in a ceremony in Maui, Hawaii. Prior to the nuptials Barack Junior was already growing in momma’s womb. An educational timeline indicates that Barack Senior went from Hawaii to Massachusetts to work on his Masters. (Check out this 2007 article about Barry, Jr. It is an indication of Barack Senior before Birther controversy did not move to Kenya from Hawaii.)
The Star Ship Enterprise would have to beam Barack, Sr. and Ann Durham from Honolulu to Mombasa for little Barry to be born then back to Honolulu to register little Barry with the State Hawaii.
The great mystery for me is this: Why does Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. spend so much in legal funds to prevent his long form Hawaiian birth certificate from becoming public?
Now here is the other thing Mrs. Ann Obama divorces Barack Sr. shortly after abandoning her in Honolulu. Ann evidently having a thing for secular minded Muslim men marries Lolo Soetoro who like Ann’s first husband was a foreigner attending college in Hawaii. Soetoro took the new wife and little Barry back to Jakarta, Indonesia.
Now here is where some formative thinking must have occurred for little Barry between ages 6 and 10. Obviously Soetoro was a bit more Western oriented than a practicing Muslim; however he did not renounce Islam either.
Little Barry went to a Catholic school in Jakarta but registered as a Muslim. This is no doubt because step-daddy was a Muslim. Here the cultural snag that Islamic Supremacy rings through pertaining to registering as a faith that the step-father is associated with.
Regardless of what President Barack Hussein Obama says about practicing Christianity as his faith it is for political purposes. Only a moron would believe his African Muslim heritage and growing up with Islam between ages six and ten would not affect the BHO outlook on Islam.
Hence it is not surprising President Barack Hussein Obama will sympathize for Jew-hating Muslim Arabs that call themselves Palestinians. This can be evidenced by pre-Presidential associations with Muslims that either support the Palestinian cause or are actively involved with Palestinian terrorist organizations.
· Edward Said (or Sayyid)
· Obama Foreign Policy Advisors: Zbigniew Brzezinski, Robert Malley and Samantha Power
· There are many other anti-Israel/pro-Arab people I don’t have time to look for but which others could add to this Obama anti-Israel list.
Seeing this President Barack Hussein Obama sympathy for his Muslim heritage, it should come as no surprise that his Administration is either supporting or looking the other way as American tax money is going to the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) which is using the American tax funds to help finance Islamic terrorist organizations like Hamas in its spread lies and fraudulent propaganda about Israel.
Steve Emerson has the details. Go their and be shocked and comprehend the BHO path to cripple the existence of democratic Israel.

Have you ever heard the name Naim Ateek (an Anglican Priest)? If you hear or see that name it should evoke images of Judas Iscariot betraying Jesus the Christ.
Ateek is a classic example of Anti-Semitic propaganda that is prevalent in Europe (I presume Britain in Ateek’s case) and is now gained a forum of listeners in America.
Ateek is an Anglican Priest who has made a living of calling Israel a genocidal nation. He calls Arabs that call themselves Palestinians an oppressed people. All this remarkable venom he levels against Israel even though the Arabs calling themselves Palestinians are Jew-hating terrorists or at the least supporters of Jew-hating terrorists.

It is becoming very evident that President Hussein Obama’s “real agenda” toward Israel is to force the Jewish Israeli government to give up land that is sacred and acquired by the sweat and blood of its citizens in repulsing invading Arab armies.
BHO is attempting to force Israel to acquiesce to an existential threat in the creation of an Arab State to be known as Palestine.
In BHO’s effort to accomplish his designs he is using the oratorical skills of lying rhetoric to entice Americans as a whole and American Jews in particular to buy into the absurd Two-State Solution for sovereign Israel and a group of Arab created refugees who have NO historical heritage to the land they wish to make a nation.
So far Prime Minister Netanyahu’s government has repulsed the BHO demands concerning Israel; however I am unsure if a little slice of democracy in the Middle East will be able to resist Obama if he begins to squeeze Israel’s economy and Israel’s defense that are backed up by America. (Note backed up but not dependent as a lot of despotic or fragile governments might be.)
Anne Bayefsky writes that Jewish Israeli citizens are coalescing into a majority support for Netanyahu’s resistance to the Obama Agenda.
The irony is that American Jews seem to have a majority favoring the creation of a sovereign Palestine. BHO is attempting to manipulate public support by giving the impression that American Jews are 100% behind the Obama Agenda for Israel. The reality is BHO is asking only American Jews that are extremely favorable to the Obama Agenda and excluding American Jews from voicing concerns about Obama’s agenda being an existential threat to Israel.

I suspect Iran’s recent voting crisis coupled with a government crackdown on protesters reminiscent of former Shah Reza Pahlavi’s brutal repression has given Western nations and Arab nations another perspective on confronting Iran’s nuclear program. Even amidst Iranian government denials, it is obvious the Iranian nuclear program is functioning way beyond peaceful energy. The nuke program is in reality an armed nuclear proliferation program.
One indication of this new global perspective is the recent movement of Israeli naval vessels through the Suez Canal into the Red Sea. Yes the very Suez Canal managed by Arab-Islamic Egypt.
There is talk that Arab nations are willing to look the other way if Israel attacks Iran’s nuclear capabilities with a deal in mind. Apparently that deal is Israel becoming more amenable to the creation of a Palestinian State even in the face of Islamic terrorism which includes the belief that Israel should be destroyed.
If you have read any of my writing on the so-called Two-State Solution, you are aware my stand is radical to the politically correct industry. There is no historical basis for the creation of a Palestinian State for that provision in 1947 was to be invested in Transjordan which is today’s Jordan. If any expansion occurred by the Jewish State past the formation of its modern incarnation, that expansion was the result of winning wars of self-defense in the face of overwhelming odds. As far as I am concerned this does not mean an occupation, it means land as payment for the war debt of invading Arab armies.
But I passionately digress.
If this behind the geopolitical door deal ever goes beyond rumor, I think Israel should flow with it. Here is why: If Israel has Arab support for a controversial attack that has the potential of starting a Middle Eastern war that even may conflate to a global war, then the usual European Leftist animosity toward Israel will have to be reassessed.
Iran international black mail will have less affect limiting the Mullah-State to gamble that Russia and China will support Iranian military reprisals. The threat of American retribution via forces in Iraq and Afghanistan would not need an invasion force. Massive air and missile strikes to respond to an Iranian counter-attack could ruin the economy of an isolated Iran (U.N. valueless sanctions may gain some actual value).
Then there is the deal: Israel actively working to establish a sovereign Palestinian State. The reason I don’t have a problem with such a deal is my belief that the ruling elite of the Arabs calling themselves Palestinians are geopolitical morons in managing an actual sovereign nation. The Arab terrorists managing Hamastan (Gaza strip) and the West Bank have displayed an inability to manage the existing infrastructure without graft, murder and engaging Israel as a national State.
A sovereign Palestine would be responsible for its actions. Shooting missiles into Israel would be an act of war from one sovereign State to another. A sovereign Palestinian State could not hide behind Islamic terrorists fighting to end occupation. Regardless of the multiple Palestinian charters that imply a Palestine map encompassing land that nullifies the existence of Israel, the nation of Israel is a recognized State and a member of the United Nations.
Israel would be forced by an act of war to protect itself. The resolution would be to attack Palestine. I would hope that would mean the end of a Palestinian State. The reality is that the first act of defense would probably be a harsh message to the corrupt government of Palestine. That would be something like messing up a viable military infrastructure and/or totally cutting off economic support the world will expect Israel to donate as its part to create a Palestinian State.
The sovereign Palestinian State would face the choice of becoming the typical repressive Muslim regime dealing politically with Israel or continue to stick by their terrorist charters to challenge Israel. History shows that continued attacks could lead to the possession of more land that legitimately belongs to Israel anyway.
With these thoughts in mind I believe there is no better than the present to do the Arab Middle East and the West a huge favor; i.e. do as much damage to the Iranian nuclear program as possible.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a speech June 14 which has been equated to a response to President Barack Hussein Obama’s Cairo Speech.
Netanyahu’s speech can be summed up thus - The Likud led Israel is prepared to accept the notion of a Palestinian if:
Whoever it is representing the Arabs that call themselves Palestinians agree to a demilitarized State.
This Palestinian State must recognize the Jewish nature of the State of Israel.
Palestine does not force the Jewish settlements to leave which would be within a Palestinian authority.
David Parsons of the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem has written an essay about the Palestinian response to Netanyahu’s speech. Yet again all the terrorists that are the ruling elites of the Arabs that call themselves Palestinians rejected Netanyahu’s offer. The message to Israel being: We the Arabs want everything we want without giving in to anything Israel’s desires for its National Security.

Caroline Glick reports what Americans will never hear in the Mainstream Media (MSM).
President Barack Hussein Obama has become the dhimmi tool for Arab Muslims to accomplish that which they were unable to do via several wars of invasion; viz. placing Israel in a position of imminent destruction.
To ensure this Obama agenda to promote Islam to the detriment of the Jewish-Zionist State of Israel, BHO has appointed a minion in George Mitchell. Apparently Mitchell’s Obama mandate is to coerce Israel into making Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) and Gaza into a viable sovereign State.
BHO has mandated that Mitchell set up his Office of coercion in Jerusalem which is staffed with Arabophile Americans who have a history of promoting the illegitimate cause of a group of Arabs establishing a State called Palestine.
So Prime Minister Netanyahu is in a position in which he has to protect Israel’s existence while stringing BHO along so that the Obamasiah does not cut off the American alliance with the ONLY Western style democracy in the Middle East. Just for clarity, that Western Style democracy is NOT the Islamic-mobocracy of the fractured terrorist leadership of the Palestine Authority and Hamas. Israel has all the elements of a viable republic in which the voting citizens have a voice in who manages the Israeli government. This incidentally includes Israeli-Arab citizens who are not Jewish friendly.
The PA/Hamas mobocracy wishes to exterminate Jews living in the West Bank. The Israeli government actually accommodated the Hamas mob in Gaza by forcing the Jews out. Did Hamas peacefully appropriate the viable business operation left behind by Jewish settlers in Gaza? NO! They not only trashed the viable Jewish infrastructure but the Hamas mob violated Left Behind synagogues.
Christian-Arabs had been a significant population in the West Bank. For years the majority population of the city of Bethlehem was the Christian-Arabs. Islamic persecution and supremacism has forced a significant amount of Christian-Arabs to flee the West Bank allowing the Muslim-Arabs to usurp their land and their livelihood.
Let us also mention that the official agenda of both PA Islamic terrorists and Hamas Islamic terrorists is to exterminate the Jewish State of Israel.
With all this in mind. How in the world does President Barack Hussein Obama honestly believe that creating a hostile State of Muslim Arabs called Palestine can remotely solve the Middle East’s peace problems?
Let me finish off my thoughts with Glick’s conclusions of what Prime Minister Netanyahu faces with the Obama agenda and his Mitchell minions:
And that's the thing of it. At the end of the day, Netanyahu has three main challenges that he must meet if he is to successfully protect Israel in the coming years. He must prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. He must secure Israel's national and strategic interests in Judea and Samaria and sole Israeli sovereignty in Jerusalem. And he must do what he can to avoid an open breach with Washington.
By deploying Mitchell to Jerusalem, Obama is trying to prevent Netanyahu from achieving any of these aims. Only by neutralizing Mitchell will Netanyahu free his schedule to contend with them.

After writing my feelings on President Barack Hussein Obama going to the Palestine Authority’s Mahmoud Abbas to sell out Israel and promise a sovereign State, I found this Washington Times article by Wesley Pruden.
Pruden writes about how BHO will become the Sultan of Appeasement groveling before Egyptian-Arabs about how bad America has been to Arabs and that America is not at war with the religion of peace.

In case you are not aware. President Barack Hussein Obama has joined the “give the Arabs that call themselves Palestinians a sovereign nation” crowd. This crowd spreads across the Democrat-Republican political spectrum. Most Democrats believe the poor Arabs put in refugee camps because of a multitude of Arab invasions into Israel suffer because Israeli occupation. How can a nation occupy land that was theirs in the first place?
The Republicans in the pro-Two-State solution believe a sovereign Palestinian State will be the beginning of the end of American hatred in the Middle East.
Both these Democrats and Republicans are nuts.
I am a Bible kind-of-guy and as such I see even more land that is not modern Israel’s indeed should be. But let’s go into the secular realm.
After the Ottoman Turks lost WWI the British and the French took possession of the Ottoman Middle East. The League of Nations placed the imprimatur of protection of the Arab Middle East which was divided arbitrarily into British and French spheres of influence called Mandates. The Palestine Mandate was carved out and there was a lot of lobbying to create a homeland for Jews to return to their ancestral homeland: hence the Balfour Declaration toward that end.
Jews had lived in the Levant even under Ottoman rule. After the Balfour Declaration, European Jews began slowly to immigrate to the Palestine Mandate. In the early 1900’s the Arabs that lived in the area could care less about Jewish immigration. The land was considered economically useless.
Jewish ingenuity sparked from Western learning devised ways to make agriculturally usable and economically productive. Even at this early point the Arabs were somewhat happy about the Jewish productivity for it provided employment for Arabs. Indeed the economic boom that came to the former Ottoman holdings enticed Arabs in the Middle East to immigrate to the area for better paying jobs.
Eventually the Arabs that had been under the Ottoman Turk thumb for so many generations began to resent foreign management by Britain and France. The Arabs did not foresee merely switching overlords from Ottoman Turks to the British and the French. Naturally this disgruntlement began to lead to a sense of nationalism. There has always been a Pan-Arab dream of the old glory days; however the Arab Middle East had been carved up according League of Nations (i.e. European) colonialism. There was not one unifying figure for a Pan-Arab nation and I am certain the British and the French would not view such an expansive single State to their national interest. Thus the Arab nationalism fell to tribal or clan families to assert dominance in the European arbitrary borders drawn up for the Arab Middle East.
Naturally the Arabs of the Palestine Mandate became nationalistic as well. This nationalism began to lead toward a dislike of the growing Jewish presence in the Jewish ancestral homeland. This Arab nationalism influenced the British to change their mind a bit on the existence of a Jewish homeland in the face of hostile Arab nationalism.
Indeed the Arab nationalism in the Palestine Mandate began to be belligerent when fellows like the Egyptian born Grand Mufti of Jerusalem began sowing Jew hatred into the Palestine Mandate Arabs.
Unfortunately for the racist Islamic Supremacist Grand Mufti al Husseini, the Jews were a large enough part of the Palestine Mandate population to not be intimidated by hate-speech and anti-Semitism that Jews had been acquainted with for thousands of years anyway.
The more hostile the al-Husseini Muslim-Arabs were to the Jews, the more the Jews pushed back against the Arabs.
The British began to realize they were in an untenable situation that no matter what the Brits did, neither Jewish nor Arab would be a happy camper.
The British solution: Figure out a way to get out of dodge.
The British problem: The Palestine Mandate was an international Trust the British had accepted for capitalistic reasons but were stuck for the responsibility when internecine nationalism became unprofitable for the British National Interests.
About the time the British would have laid this problem on to the International Body of the League of Nations, the League became irrelevant with the growing militarism of Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and Imperial Japan.
The British were stuck with administering the British Mandate as WWII overtook them.
Re-enter Grand Mufti al-Husseini who conspired with his Jew-hating favorite kafir Adolf Hitler to exterminate Jews in the British Mandate Palestine.
With American help the British defeated Nazi Germany and thus ended al-Husseini’s dream of Nazi aid to exterminate the Jews. The British were exhausted from two world wars in the same century. If they wanted to ditch the Palestine Mandate prior to WWII, it was a must from war weariness to do so now.
Enter another International Body from the ashes of WWII – the United Nations.
The U.N. devised a Two-State plan that would divide the Palestine Mandate into a Jewish and Arab nation. Transjordan was to be the Arab division and I am guessing the name Palestine was thought to be the name of the Jewish division. The thing is the Jews were going to be somewhat short changed in land with this new division that would make Jerusalem an international city belonging to neither Israel nor the Arabs.
The time came and the British finally said, “We’re outta here.”
The relatively new Arab sovereign nations had warned that when the British left they intended to retake all of Palestine for the Arabs.
The Jews who had been developing a military infrastructure with illegal militias that participated in a tit-for-tat terrorist activity with the Arabs were able to toss enough rivalry to form a united force when Israel declared the name of their nation to Israel in 1948.
Five invading Arab armies and Arab participants from the former Palestine Mandate made their move to drive Israel into the sea. Arabs in the new Israel began to leave out of fear of war between Jews and Arabs. There was even a call to get out so the Arab armies could have their usual version of Muslim bloodlust that followed classical Muslim invaders. Also there was a bit of fear of reprisal from Jews if Arab citizen were caught in the cross fire between Jewish and Arab armies.
These fleeing Arabs became the foundation of the Arab refugees who at first were stranded in land under the authority of Arab Jordan (formerly Transjordan) – West Bank - and Egypt - Gaza.
The invading Armies refused to take in the refugees they caused to exist. Indeed they had a motive for establishing refugee camps and labeling the inhabitants Palestinians. That motive was to have a perpetual excuse to invade Israel when Arabs viewed themselves strong enough to terminate the little sliver of land known as Israel.
With the aid of Jew-hating secularist Arabs and an emerging radical Islam, those Arab refugees were inundated with hate propaganda toward Jews to the point that jihad style martyrdom (i.e. homicidal suicide) became a point of honor for the individual and a source of pride to the martyr’s family.
And now President Barack Hussein Obama, American politicians and State Department employees, European nations and Arab nations that can’t stand to have even a sliver of a dar al-harb in their midst; are demanding a sovereign State of Palestine who do not recognize the right of a Jewish State to exist.
Does that make any sense?
Andrew Whitehead of Anti-CAIR is drumming up support to oppose the insanity of creating a Palestinian State.

News & Analysis
May 31, 2009
According to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) world fact book, the State of Israel occupies a total of 20,770 square kilometers which includes 440 sq km of water. To put this in perspective, the entire country of Israel is smaller than the US state of New Jersey.
The total population of Israel is listed as 7,233,701; this includes non-Jewish Arabs whom are Israeli citizens. Israel is 76.4% Jewish with a minority of Muslims (16%), Arab Christians (1.7%) with “other Christians”, Druze, and unspecified making up the remaining religious groupings.
The government of Israel is a parliamentary democracy with a number of factions making up the Knesset, which includes members who are not only anti-Israel, but anti-Semitic as well.
In short, Israel, excepting its parliamentary form of government, is somewhat a microcosm of the United States; a multi-religious society with a participatory government that includes those dedicated to its destruction from within.
The US president is expected to present a “Peace Speech” in Egypt on June 4. President Obama is expected to announce his support for a “settlement of the Jewish question” by calling on Israel to accept the two state “solution” that will make it impossible for Israel to effectively defend itself. To be blunt, Israel is being asked to commit national suicide first by division into indefensible borders and secondly by massive immigration that will destroy the country from within.
Israel, a country occupying a fraction of the Middle East; a country re-born following the Holocaust; a country that makes a home even for those dedicated to its destruction; is being demanded of by the rest of the world to commit national suicide by dividing itself into two; one side that is expected to live with a false promise of peace and the other that is totally dedicated to destroying the other by any means necessary. Israel must win every war; her numerous enemies only one.
We shall not have peace by any division of Israel; nor will we “solve the Jewish question” by partnering with countries such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, or any other Muslim-majority country in the Middle East. History has proven, time and time again, that political agreements with Muslim-majority countries are not worth the paper they are printed on and that all “agreements” are viewed by Muslim-majority governments as concessions to their religious ideology.
Let us ask the Saudi’s, the Syrians, and the rest of the Muslim world why they accept the presence of refugee camps housing multi-generations of Palestinians; why they refuse to take these refugee’s or provide them any meaningful assistance? Are not the Palestinians their Muslim brothers and sisters? Why do these Muslim countries turn their back on their brethren and demand of the Jews to destroy their country to accommodate those who have absolutely NO RIGHT to Israel?
The next time someone says “Why, Jew?” when the question of Israel arises, turn your back on him. For an American to pose such a question; given our own history with tyranny at our founding; clearly demonstrates a lack of appreciation for our own freedoms, it would be impossible for such a person to understand other people’s right to the same.
President Obama may get his wish for what could lead to the destruction of Israel; but this would only show the world, again, that the United States stands for what is expedient, not for what is right. How many of our allies will continue to trust us if we turn our backs on Israel?
As for me, I stand for a united Israel…from the river to the sea.

Your letter also will request that our President demand that the Palestinian Authority and the Arab League recognize Israel as a Jewish State.
The main feature of this Urgent Action Alert is a summary of Israel’s right to the land, found in the United States Congressional Record, dated June 30, 1922, and adopted unanimously by the House of Representatives. It succinctly and beautifully states the compelling reasons for a national home for the Jewish people presented as House Resolution 360. It outlines the geographical boundaries as well as the pragmatic and legal imperative for the State of Israel.
You will be asking that President Obama include in his thinking the opinions of those legislators who played an important role in founding the nation of Israel.
With one click, you can send your letter automatically (as shown below) or change the introduction in any way you wish. Simply add your own comments. Unchanged, your letter will be sent as follows and will go to President Barack Obama with copies to the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, the President’s Cabinet, and to select Members of Congress and the Knesset.

Your letter will read as follows:
Dear President Obama,Before putting together the final touches on your anticipated “Peace Speech” expected to be delivered in Egypt on June 4, 2009, I request of you a moment or two, to read what your fellow legislators had to say in the year 1922.
The issue at the time was in respect to the recreation of the Jewish National Home - in the area designated for them by the “Mandate for Palestine," an historical League of Nations document referencing the Jewish legal right to settle anywhere in western Palestine, the area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, an entitlement unaltered in international law.
Mr. President, there has always been a Jewish presence in the land and reducing any land already granted to the Jewish people under international law is an injustice and a grievous handicap to the well-being of the Jewish State.
The Congressional Resolution follows:
The United States Congressional Record
1922 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
National Home for
THE JEWISH PEOPLE JUNE 30, 1922
HOUSE RESOLUTION 360 - UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED
“Palestine of today, the land we now know as Palestine, was peopled by the Jews from the dawn of history until the Roman era. It is the ancestral homeland of the Jewish people. They were driven from it by force by the relentless Roman military machine and for centuries prevented from returning. At different periods various alien people succeeded them but the Jewish race had left an indelible impress upon the land.
“Today it is a Jewish country. Every name, every landmark, every monument and every trace of whatever civilization remaining there is still Jewish. And it has ever since remained a hope, a longing, as expressed in their prayers for these nearly 2,000 years. No other people has ever claimed Palestine as their national home. No other people has ever shown an aptitude or indicated a genuine desire to make it their homeland. The land has been ruled by foreigners. Only since the beginning of the modern Zionist effort may it be said that a creative, cultural, and economic force has entered Palestine. The Jewish Nation was forced from its natural home. It did not go because it wanted to.
“A perusal of Jewish history, a reading of Josephus, will convince the most skeptical that the grandest fight that was ever put up against an enemy was put up by the Jew. He never thought of leaving Palestine. But he was driven out. But did he, when driven out, give up his hope of getting back? Jewish history and Jewish literature give the answer to the question. The Jew even has a fast day devoted to the day of destruction of the Jewish homeland.
“Never throughout history did they give up hope of returning there. I am told that 90 per cent of the Jews today are praying for the return of the Jewish people to its own home. The best minds among them believe in the necessity of reestablishing their Jewish land. To my mind there is something prophetic in the fact that during the ages no other nation has taken over Palestine and held it in the sense of a homeland; and there is something providential in the fact that for 1,800 years it has remained in desolation as if waiting for the return of the people."
_____________________
For Israel to make further land concessions for any reason is contrary to the original sentiments of the US Congress. Legally, the State of Israel is mandated and exists. We hope you will acknowledge this affirmation of Israel. We also hope that you will insist that the Palestinian Authority and the Arab League abide by this unanimous judgment of our forefathers recognizing Israel as a Jewish State, beginning with your forthcoming speech in Egypt on June 4th, and continuing throughout future policy statements.
