It is amazing the light that declassified documents bring to move back the darkness of lies.
I was reading an essay by Ted Belman of Israpundit in which he utilizes sources that have examined declassified documents from the UK which demonstrate the Israeli modern heritage that began in 1948 is being compromised by the West (especially America) to the undeserving favor of Arabs that call themselves Palestinians.
In essence every point the Western supported Islamofascist thugocracy terrorist government syndicate known as the Palestine Authority is based on a lie.
I feel in my heart (because I have no proof that I know to access) that the West is turning anti-Israel (and in some cases anti-Semitic) and pro-Palestinian Authority because of the enormous influence that Islamic nations with oil now hold over the West. It is an influence based on economics, which in stable political times is a greater weapon than a military arsenal.
Before World War II there is no way the Western Nations would allow third rate medieval governed nations to pull the purse strings of power. The Europeans especially would have sent there various national military armada and demand this is how it is going to work to keep the Western economies moving.
Leftists and third rate nations call this imperialism; I call it protecting the National Interests and National Security of the constituent populations which the Western governments represent.
The modern West views using force or war as a political weapon as repugnant because of the weariness of nearly a century plus of internecine wars in the West; thus when the National Interests (the secure well-being and domestic prosperity) of its citizens are threatened by medieval notions Dar al-Islam and Sharia Law the West looks the other way and makes self-loathing excuses for the brutality and designs of oil empowered Islamic Culture.
Once powerful nations of Western Europe are beginning to feel the squeeze of Islamic Culture sucking the life force of Western Culture from it soul.
America is in the early stages of this Islamic Culture sucking. Europe is often called Eurabia today. Will there be a time when America’s heritage of Christian influence, Liberty, Freedom, Domestic Tranquility, the Pursuit of Happiness and so forth will nullified by a term such as Amerarabia?
It is a shameful thing the Bush Administration is thrusting upon Israel from an Observant Jewish and Christian perspective. Not only is the Bush Administration forcing Israel to create a State called Palestine composed of people that given the opportunity would embark on a 21st century Holocaust, it is forcing Israel to divide the Holiest City to Jews and Christians alike – Jerusalem.
The Bush Administration is intent on the concept that the existence of yet another Arab nation would bring peace to the Middle East and Mohammedans would agree to live surrounding minuscule Israel in peace in harmony.
I have been a party to numerous petitions to keep Jerusalem as one city under Israeli sovereignty. I found to my dismay that many in Conservatives in Congress have also been duped into believing a nation called Palestine with the Eastern portion of Jerusalem as its capital (which includes the Temple Mount) would forge peace in the Middle East.
I received a polite email response from my Senator – Tom Coburn – saying he appreciates my concerns but does not endorse a ONE Jerusalem under Israeli sovereignty. This means Senator Coburn (at least indirectly) is behind the Bush Administration to give yet another Holy Site for Mohammedans to desecrate in the name of their pseudo-prophet Mohammed and their eclectically created god known as Allah. Do you know what Mohammedans do to Jewish and Christian Holy Sites? Mohammedans desecrate them (Post 1967 Desecration: Here, Here, Here, Here, Here, Here, Here, Here, etc.) in the name of Mohammedan Supremacism ala medieval thinking instead of Western tolerant thinking of the 21st century.
In this one case Senator Coburn is misguided by deluded conventional wisdom politics and I was steaming mad to receive such an email from him.
It is time for a Third Political Party to emerge that will diminish the Democratic Party or the Republican Party or both. I am finding myself forced to vote Republican merely because the Dems have become devoted to American cultural change of Secular Humanism with the goal of rendering Christianity and/or Christian Morality as a myth and an irrelevant faith for modern times. That is another future post some day.
The point is this: MY GOD the Bush Administration and the Israeli Center Left are committed to submerging Jewish Heritage (and so by extension Christian Heritage) to a bunch of hate filled war mongering Mohammedans that have absolutely a zero base for forming a sovereign nation.
Here are some enlightening excerpts from Arab-Israeli Conflict - Basic Facts:
NATIONHOOD
Israel became a nation about 1300 BCE, two thousand years before the rise of Islam. The people of modern day Israel share the same language and culture shaped by the Jewish heritage and religion passed through generations starting with the founding father Abraham. Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 BCE, the Jews have had dominion over the land for one thousand years with a continuous presence in the land for the past 3,300 years.
After the Romans conquered Jerusalem about 2,000 years ago, Jewish people were expelled and dispersed to the Diaspora, and the Land of Israel was ruled by Rome, by Islamic and Christian crusaders, by the Ottoman Empire, and by the British Empire.
Throughout centuries Jews prayed to return from the Diaspora to Israel. During the first half of the 20th century there were major waves of immigration of Jews back to Israel from the Arab countries and from Europe. In 1948 Jews reestablished their sovereignty over their ancient homeland with the establishment of the modern State of Israel.
It was only after the Jews re-inhabited their historic homeland of Judea and Samaria, that the myth of a Palestinian nation was created and marketed worldwide. Jews come from Judea, not Palestinians. There is no language known as Palestinian, or any Palestinian culture distinct from that of all the Arabs in the area. There has never been a land known as Palestine governed by Palestinians. Palestinians are Arabs indistinguishable from Arabs throughout the Middle East. The Palestinian National Charter adopted by the PLO states this fact in the first article (See the covenant)
The area called Palestine included the territories of present day Israel and Jordan. Under Lausanne agreement of 1923 Turkey transferred all claims to Palestine to mandatory power Britain. In 1922 Britain allocated nearly 80% of Palestine to Transjordan. In 1947 UN partitioned this remaining land into two states, a second Arab state, Palestine, and Israel. The great majority of Arabs in greater Palestine and Israel share the same culture, language and religion. The Arabs in the area began identifying themselves as part of a Palestinian people in 1967, two decades after the establishment of the modern State of Israel. Virtually all the Arabs in Judea, Samaria and Gaza in the West Bank of Jordan River have complete autonomy under the rule of the Palestinian Authority.
See: The History and Meaning of "Palestine" and "Palestinians"
JERUSALEM
For over 3,300 years, Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital. Jerusalem has never been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Even when the Jordanians occupied Jerusalem (1948-1967), they never sought to make it their capital, and Arab leaders did not come to visit.
In the Jewish Bible, Jerusalem is mentioned over 669 times and Zion (which usually means Jerusalem, sometimes the Land of Israel) 154 times, or 823 times. The Christian Bible mentions Jerusalem 154 times and Zion 7 times. Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Koran. Jerusalem is also not mentioned in the Palestinian Covenant.
King David established the city of Jerusalem as the capital of the whole Land of Israel. Mohammed never came to Jerusalem. Jerusalem remained under Turkish Ottoman Empire rule from 1517 to 1917, and under British rule from 1917 to 1948.
ARAB & JEWISH REFUGEES
The UN partition plan of 1947 was rejected by all the Arab countries. Arab leadership in Israel and in the countries surrounding Israel, planned a Jihad, holy war, against Israel and encouraged the Arabs to leave Israel promising their return after they purge the land of Jews. The great majority of Arabs left without ever seeing an Israeli soldier (see article and Arab sources that describe what happened during the war of 1948 that caused the Palestinian refugee problem).
During 1940's through 1950's nearly ALL the Jews had to flee from Arab countries to avoid persecution and pogroms. The number of Jewish refugees from Arab countries is estimated to be a million. This number is greater than the number of Arab refugees who left Israel in 1948, estimated as 343,000 (see Peters' book cited below).
Most of the Jewish refugees from Arab countries rapidly integrated into the modern society of Israel. This, despite the fact that Israel is a tiny country (about size of New Jersey) without any of the world's richest resources of petroleum in Arab countries. Today, the majority of the people in Israel are the descendants of Jews from Arab countries. (European Jews and their descendants constitute less than half the population of Israel).
The development of the Jewish community under British mandate led to economic growth in the region providing job opportunities for Arab workers. Consequently, the Arab population of Palestine swelled by the influx of Arab immigrants from Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, and other Arab countries until 1947 (The trend of Arab migration into Israel to find a job continues to the present day). While the British forces limited Jewish immigration, they allowed free entry of Arab migrants. The UN agency UNRWA defined a "Palestinian refugee", as any Arab who stayed in the country for two years prior to 1948. Thus, UNRWA included in their statistics migrant workers greatly swelling the ranks of so called "Palestinian refugees" (for best reference on the subject see: From Time Immemorial: The Origins of the Arab-Jewish Conflict over Palestine by Joan Peters).
Arab refugee problem was created by the seven Arab countries that attacked Israel in 1948. Arab refugees were intentionally not integrated into the Arab lands to which they fled, despite the fact total territory of Arab countries is about 700 times greater than that of Israel. Out of about 100,000,000 refugees since World War II, theirs is the only refugee group in the world that has not been absorbed into their own peoples' lands. Arab nations still maintain generations of the descendants of the refugees in so called "refugee camps" under squalid conditions with the hope that someday they will dislodge the Jews in Israel. The money spent by the Arab countries on armaments would be sufficient to build houses for all so called "refugees". Arab countries should be encouraged to care for their poor population instead of spending their richest resources in the world on armaments and development of terrorist groups such as Osama Bin Laden from Saudi Arabia.
Since 1948, after three generations the descendants of the Arab refugees are still called "refugees" and are supported by UN "refugee" funds! With the highest birth rate in Arab countries this population has now grown to about four million. In negotiations, Arab leadership requests the "right of return" of this mass of millions into the tiny land of Israel. The settlement of millions of Arabs in Israel would immediately eliminate Israel as a Jewish state. This is the real aim of the Arab countries, to achieve by supposedly "peaceful" means what they could not achieve by unceasing violence in whole scale wars and daily terrorism.
The responsibility for keeping the Arab population who are descendants of the Arab refugees, rests only on the shoulders of the Arab countries that created the problem by attacking Israel in 1948.
Quote from Ralph Galloway, a former head of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), in Amman, capital of Jordan, in August 1958:
"The Arab states do not want to solve the refugee problem. They want to keep it as open sore, as an affront to the United Nations and as a weapon against Israel. Arab leaders don't give a damn whether the refugees live or die."

HOLY PLACES
The Temple Mount in Jerusalem is the holiest site for Jews. It was the site of the Beit HaMikdash ("Temple") built by King Solomon (950 BCE), which was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar (587 BCE), rebuilt in 541 BCE, and then destroyed again by the Roman army in 70 CE leading to the exile of Jews from Israel. Al Aqsa Mosque and Shrine Of Omar were built at the site of the ancient Jewish temples. The Arabic name for Jerusalem "el-KuDS" [SlantRight Editor: or al-Quds] is derived from the Arabic name "BeT el-MaKDeS", a translation of the Hebrew "BeiT ha-MiKDaSH", the name of the Jewish Temple (see articles).
Under Jordanian rule, Jewish holy sites were desecrated and the Jews were denied access to places of worship. Under Israeli rule, all Muslim and Christian sites have been preserved and made accessible to people of all faiths. Arabs recently burnt the Tomb of Joseph and the ancient synagogue in Jericho (see pictures). To this days Arab Waqf in control of the Temple Mount does not allow Jews to pray in the Temple Mount. Jews pray facing Jerusalem as the location of the Beit Hamikdash. Muslims pray facing their holy city Mecca with their backs toward Jerusalem. Throughout the ages the Arabs have ignored The Temple Mount and renewed interest only recently because of their political exigencies and not religious history (see pictures and articles).
Read the World News Daily article that inspired my ire against Western efforts to basically shove Mohammedanism down the throats of the Israelis, Jews and Christians of the world.
Polls conducted by Arabs that call themselves Palestinians and polls conducted by Israelis demonstrate that a majority of these Palestine Authority Arabs support terrorism against Israel while the Israeli polls show that a majority of Israelis want to stop further withdrawals from Judea/Samaria (the West Bank).
So someone in the West tell me again how creating a sovereign Palestinian State will bring peace to the Middle East.

To ensure the prestige of Saudi involvement in Annapolis this week Israel (i.e. the Olmert government) had to agree that the entire West Bank, Golan Heights, East Jerusalem and the entirety of the Holy Temple Mount be on the table for consideration in the formation of a Palestine State.
Olmert might as well have hired pied pipers and lead Jews marching into the sea of oblivion.

As many of know there are scheduled negotiations to take place in Annapolis, Maryland between Israel, the Fatah version of the Palestine Authority (PA) with the Bush Administration participating as moderating negotiator.
The pre-negotiations appear to be panning out as in the past: The terrorists want all the concessions and absolutely refuse respect of Jewish Israel culture.
Olmert on the other hand appears to be ready to toss in everything including the kitchen sink under the delusion the Palestine Authority terrorists will peacefully coexist next to Israel.
Hello! The simplest hurdle that must be overcome is the recognition of the existence of Sovereign Jewish State known as Israel.
PA terrorist negotiator Saeb Erekat proclaims Palestinian Islamofascists (secular and religious) will never recognize the existence of a Jewish State.
If the President Abbas of the PA (and Chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization – PLO) cannot recognize the Jewish State of Israel, why waste the time of negotiations to establish a sovereign Palestinian State?
Erekat explains the reason for this: “There is no country in the world where religious and national identities are intertwined”.
Does Erekat think the West is stupid? (Don’t answer that, of course he does.)
Every Middle Eastern Nation except Turkey intertwines Mohammedanism as the national and political identity of their citizens. If Mohammedan nations in the Middle East would deny this intertwining there would be massive rights against the respective Mohammedan nations. If Middle Eastern nations are practicing even a portion of Sharia Law then religious and national identities are one.
The PA negotiations are just a continuation of a half-century Mohammedan Arab-Palestinian lies to try to wear down the Jewish citizens in the only nation in the world they do not have to face persecution because of their Jewish race and faith (not all Jews are religious, indeed Israel is officially a secular Jewish State in which at least half the nation are Slanted Left thinkers).
And yet Olmert continues the march to Annapolis. If Olmert gives up the Jewish heritage of Jerusalem, the Temple Mount and various places revered as burial or historical Jewish event location AND accepting the PA’s demand of NOT recognizing Israel as Jewish State, then Olmert will be like Korah rebelling against Moses that ended in the perishing of Korah’s followers. Olmert’s path threatens the existence of Israel.
Peace at any cost could be the peace that leads to death.
Even as the Bush Administration and Prime Minister Olmert explore a point of concession to establish another Arab nation which will be called Palestine, the official television network of the Palestinian Authority (i.e. operated by Fatah terrorists) shows a map on their network on October 11, 2007 of Israel as the sovereign nation of Palestine.
What is the concession? Actually the concession is numerous and dangerous for Israel’s existence: the giving up of what Israelis call portions of Judea and Samaria and the West calls the West Bank. The heinous concession on the table for discussion is dividing Jerusalem between Israel and the emerging repugnant State of Palestine.
How is this coming about? The Bush Administration is twisting the Israeli government arm to establish a “Palestine” on Arab terms and Olmert is acquiescing to the arm twist at Jewish expense.
Palestine Authority (PA) President (also Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Chairman) Mahmoud Abbas controls the content station PATV. Somebody explain to me how that makes Abbas a trustworthy partner in negotiation to keep any bargains he submits? It is extremely apparent that Abbas is following in Yasser Arafat’s footsteps of telling the West and Israel anything they want to hear and telling the Arabs called Palestinians that the destruction of Jewish Israel is imminent.
I submit that the creation of a Palestinian State will lead to a blood bath of either Jews or Mohammedan Arabs. How can I say this? I can say so because once the Arabs of the Palestinian Authority under the direction of the umbrella terrorist network known as the PLO becomes a sovereign Palestine, that horrific nation of State thuggery will have the tools to negotiate with rogue nations and arms dealing nations (Russia and China) for a military designed to invade the rest of Israel.
Someone will win and it won’t be pretty. Not only that, due to the current investment of America in the Middle East due to the War on Terror, America will participate in that Israeli/Palestinian war. And if America participates then certainly Iran will follow the Palestinians with Russia joining closely on Iran's heals. I say Russia because the Old Bear has warned off Western nations from attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities. If Iran and Syria partner to support a Palestine, America will attack Iran’s military capabilities – including the nuclear facilities. Russia will have to do something or face international disgrace (again) in talking big but not yielding clout.
A sovereign Palestinian State will lead to this scenario.
It would be better for the Arab nations surrounding Israel to admit their mistake in creating a group of Arab refugees and matriculate those Arabs into their nations. The biggest candidate for the matriculation is Jordan since its existence was intended for the Arabs while a sliver of land was to be reserved for Israel. This was a League of Nations Mandate given to the British then a United Nations Mandate before third world dictators and Arab nationalists backed by oil infected the World Body with corruption.
Just as the British shafted the Jewish people just after WWI to appease the aid that was given by Arabs to defeat the Ottoman Turks, there is the appearance the American government is preparing a raw deal for Israel for global considerations of oil and the need for Middle Eastern allies in the War on Terror. Thus once again Israel is being placed in a position to negotiate away their land acquired by victory during numerous attacks by Arabs to exterminate Israel and Jews. This includes the holiest site to all Judaism and the most significant site to Christendom – Jerusalem.
There have long been rumors that Prime Minister Olmert of Israel was willing to give up half of Jerusalem as part of the package to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas (aka Abu Mazen). Incidentally Abbas is as much a thug terrorist as any terrorist organization connected to the Arab movement to form a sovereign Palestinian nation.
Abbas took over the mantle of Yasser Arafat as Chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) which is a loose confederation of terrorists that has inflicted murderous terror on Israel. Egypt and the Arab League formed the PLO in 1964 to create a mythological people of Arabs termed Palestinians.
You see the irony is in 1948 the United Nations (prior to becoming sympathetic to Islamist Arabs and anti-Israel) divided the British Palestinian Mandate into to two nations: Israel and Transjordan. Obviously the Jews were to be sovereign in Israel and the Arabs to be sovereign in Transjordan under the hegemony of the Bedouin Hashemite Kingdom. The U.N. even gave a largely favorable amount of land to the Arabs while limiting the size of Israel to a nearly thin slice of indefensible land.
Mohammedan Arabs could not tolerate that Jews were becoming sovereign in what they considered Dar al-Islam land (i.e. land controlled by Islam as opposed to Dar al-Harb, land controlled by the infidel).
Thus Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Transjordan and a few other minor players all surrounding Israel attacked in 1948 just after Israeli Independence. Arabs living within the borders of Israel fled prior to the invasion expecting a Mohammedan victory to return them to their homes as well as fearing Israeli reprisals on life and property while their Arab brethren were attacking.
Why am I providing a minor (and admittedly slanted) history lesson? The reason is the point there were no Palestinians in 1948. Specifically there were citizens of Israel (primarily Jews) and citizens of Transjordan (primarily Arab Mohammedan Transjordanian citizens).
After Israel spanked Egypt, Syria, the future Jordan and the Arab bit players in 1948; the Mohammedans egos were bruised. Thus instead of incorporating the Arabs into the various invading lands – Jordan in particular – it was decided by the invaders to make a group of Arabs stateless people with the appellation of Palestinian refugee to create a perpetual chaotic wedge to habitually attack Israel with the intent of destroying the Israeli nation.
From 1948 through the current day, Mohammedans have taught hatred of Jewish people and later Christians in Dar al-Islam to Mohammedan Arab children until a generation of ingrained hate exists in the Middle Eastern Mohammedan mind.
Invasions and threats of extermination have been the goal of Middle Eastern Mohammedan nations ever since 1948. Every time a Mohammedan war was executed against Israel, the Mohammedans have been spanked even though they had superior numbers. (Now tell that is not a God thing!)
One of those invasions in 1967 became a godsend for the Jews of Israel. Again Egypt, Syria and Jordan attacked Israel to exterminate the nation. This time a Six Day miracle occurred. Not only were the three invaders spanked but in six days Israel occupied Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, Syria’s Golan Heights and the territory retained by Jordan after the first 1948 invasion now called the West Bank by the world and Judea and Samaria by the Israelis. Part of that West Bank acquisition is land that Jews (and Christians) have considered the land of the Jews by heritage. This included East Jerusalem, Bethlehem and burial sites of Jewish Patriarchs.
The most important of which was the unification of Jerusalem (the City of David) under Israeli control. AND the most important fact about the unification of Jerusalem is that the Holiest of site to all Judaism came under Israeli possession – the Temple Mount.
The great mystery to me was the Israeli government’s decision to allow the Jordanian linked Mohammedan Waqf to control the Temple Mount where two Mohammedan Mosques are located – the Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Yes I realize Mohammedans consider those two Mosques to be the third holiest site to them. Let us think about that one; Third: meaning one, two, and three. That means the Mohammedans control number one and two – Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia. Mecca and Medina are actual place the pseudo-prophet Mohammed resided. Mohammed had never been to Jerusalem physically. Mohammed’s successors developed a myth from the Quran (in which Jerusalem is not named) that Mohammed took off from a Mosque in Jerusalem on winged horse to heaven and back. The problem historically is that there was no Mosque in Jerusalem that was controlled by the Byzantine Empire in Mohammed’s lifetime. Thus it is impossible for Jerusalem to be the location of the Quranic “furthermost Mosque.” To accept Jerusalem as the furthermost Mosque would prove the Quran is a lie. I seriously doubt any Mohammedan would accept that.
The greatest error in my estimation is that Israel did not take physical control of the Temple Mount graciously allowing the Mohammedan Mosques to operate for the religion of peace. I mean it is not like the Mohammedans are to stop attacking Israel to eradicate a Jewish existence in the Middle East.
Now we have come to the point in which Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is preparing to transfer the 1967 miracle back to Mohammedan control, including half of Jerusalem which includes the Temple Mount.
In American terms that is like becoming a Benedict Arnold. In Christian terms that is like becoming a Judas Iscariot. In Jewish terms it is like becoming Korah, Dathan and Abiram.
Olmert is selling out his race, his faith and his nation. Whether it is to the Arabs who call themselves Palestinians or to Jordan it is treasonous and could lead to the demise of Israel as Mohammedans have stealthily armed themselves with weapons and technology from America.

The Christian Right’s and religious Judaic Zionist’s greatest fear is about to happen according to Arab media outlets and Slanted Left Israeli Dr. Guy Bechor: Olmert is dividing Jerusalem between Israel and the pseudo-nationality known Palestinian-Arab.
I hold little trust in Arab media reporting; however this Bechor individual is purported to be a respected Leftist in Israel.
You know something is bad when a Leftist highly criticizes the division of Jerusalem in the name of peace. This trade for peace has proven dubious in the past in that it leads to further violence with the goal of the destruction of Israel. Personally I trust this paradigm has not changed.
If indeed the future of Jerusalem has been imprinted in writing as Bechor indicates, then Olmert may go down in history as Israel’s version of the American Benedict Arnold – a sell out traitor to the future of his nation and people.
