Obama, the “Occupation” and the Six-Day War

Posted by smoothstone

In spite of the fact that Arabs have been slaughtering Jews since the late 1880’s, Barack Hussein Obama blames Israel for the 1967 “occupation” even though Israel was attacked first in a coordinated aggression that started when Egypt closed the Straits of Tiran and Arab armies amassed on Israel’s borders to invade and liquidate the state.

The West Bank and Gaza, which were controlled by Jordan and Egypt from 1948 to 1967 came under Israeli control only during the Six Day War of 1967 and it is important to note that during their 19-year rule, neither Jordan nor Egypt made any effort to establish a Palestinian state on those lands. Israel has, in fact, returned most of the land that it captured during the 1967 war and right after that war offered to return all of it in exchange for peace and normal relations; the offer has been rejected multiple times.

The land that Obama calls Palestine is formerly a part of Jordan.  Sixteen years after the founding of the state of Israel and three years before the Six Day War in 1967, Fatah was founded in 1964 with Arafat as one of its founding members.  Unless causality has no meaning, the ongoing war against Israel was born with no reference to 1967 but, rather, with Jews living in their own indigenous homeland and Israel’s re-birth in 1948.

The fact that Jews in the British Mandate have been attacked by Arabs since the early 1900’s -  was not because of any territorial dispute – but is because Jews exist.

In fact, Arabs themselves are occupiers in the Middle East – Arabs belong in Arabia and have no right to Egypt, Syria, Jordan, or Lebanon, so Obama needs to be corrected and reminded that Judea, Samaria and Gaza are not Israeli-occupied territory but Arab-occupied territory.

With the exception of Egypt, all the countries of the Middle East are artificial creations. After World War I, England and France carved up the Ottoman Empire, with England retaining what are now Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Israel and Iraq, and France being in possession of what are now Syria and Lebanon.

But because Obama has Muslim roots, he will keep diapering and bottle feeding palestinians and will never admit that palestinians are not exactly chained to their homicide belts and kassam rockets.

Obama needs to answer this:

If Israel is responsible for Muslim wrath, please explain what Israel did to encourage Syria to swallow Lebanon, to encourage Saddam Hussein to unleash a bloodbath against Iran, to encourage Saddam Hussein to invade Kuwait, to encourage Kuwait to expel hundreds of thousands of “palestinians”, to encourage the Taliban to destroy the Bamiyan Buddha statues in Afghanistan, to encourage the slaughter of Christians in the Sudan, to encourage the bombings in Bali that killed 202 people, to encourage church bombings in Pakistan, or to blow up 200 Indians on the railroad system in Bombay.

The oft-repeated Arab claim that the Israeli ‘occupation’ is somehow to blame for being the root cause of palestinian terrorism is nothing more than an empty retort, repudiated by the facts, and disproved by a century of historical reality.

Obama needs to learn about the longest running war, the war of
hatred that Arabs have perpetrated upon Jews including the 1929 Hebron Massacre when Arabs shot and murdered 66 innocent Jewish men, women and children while praying in a synagogue in Hebron, before there was an “occupation”.

To those of us disgusted with the demonization of Israel, the Nazification of
Zionism, the politicization of all things Israeli, the Arab oversimplification reducing all discussions of Israel to the “palestinian problem”,
we have assholes like Obama telling us how to think, feel, react, emote,
and otherwise curl up and go submissive, while he sprinkles his
speeches with historical revisionism in foreign countries.  What a detestable fraud he is.

There is nothing more disgusting than Muslims who de-legitimize non-Muslims.

The fact of the matter is that it’s not Israel that causes MidEast unrest, it’s Islam.  Islam is unhinged.  It is the global Muslim rejection of Israel’s right to exist and not Israeli policies that are the cause of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

How detestable that we have a president, a World Citizen, who denies how mohammedans are ethnically cleansing Gaza, Lebanon and TransJordan of the indigenous Jews from their ancient homeland of Israel with genocidal Muslim zombies raised on milk from their mother’s breast full of hatred for the infidel.

It’s too bad that Obama’s own Muslim identity politics interferes with his ability to know facts and history.  But that’s who America elected.  It is outrageous in the extreme that the US has a president that accepts a scheme that would permit Arabs to have an ethnically cleansed geographical region where no Jews can live.

Thank goodness for two-term presidential limits.

President Obama’s speech at the UN, with its reference to ending “the occupation that began in 1967,” implies, perhaps unintentionally, that Israel’s occupation of the West Bank is the cause of the Arab-Israeli conflict. This clearly inverts cause and effect. Terrorist activities against Israel had started years before the “occupation,” and the PLO, committed to the destruction of the Jewish state, was founded in 1964.

On May 13, 1967, the Egyptian dictator Gamel Abdel Nasser announced that two Egyptian divisions would move into the Sinai Peninsula bordering on southern Israel – contrary to international agreements, U.S. commitments and UN guarantees. Shortly after, Cairo announced that it would block all shipping to the port of Eilat, Israel’s only maritime outlet in the south, while Egyptian Mig21 war planes began flying over Israeli territory. Concurrently, Syrian and Iraqi forces were ordered to prepare for an assault on northern Israel. On May 30, King Hussein of Jordan signed a military agreement with Egypt’s Nasser, including a Jordanian commitment to join Egypt in any war with Israel. Its “Arab Legion” was put under Egyptian command.

The rest is history. Israel achieved complete victory in a war of legitimate self-defense against blatant aggression whose declared aim had been its obliteration. Successive American leaders declared that Israel should never be asked to go back to its former vulnerable borders. This is what 1967 is all about: not “ending” occupation, but making sure that Israel will never again be put in a situation like the one it faced in 1967.

Jews Have More Claim to Jerusalem than the French in Paris or Germans in Berlin

Posted by smoothstone

It is a mistake to think of Judeophobia being a mostly Muslim problem, since we already know that Islamism is a culture of Jew-hatred that permeates books, magazines, newspapers, sermons, the Internet, television and radio in the Arab Middle East.  Sadly, Judeophobia is a global problem. As Joel Hilliker writes,

History shows undeniably that the greatest persecutions of Jews have come at the hands of Western Christian society—tracing back clear to the first Roman Empire.

But in spite of the hatred that the world has for the Jew, Jerusalem will always be Jewish. Via JPost:

Benjamin Disraeli, the prime minister of the United Kingdom at the turn of the 20th century, told detractors who heckled him as a Jew when he rose to speak in parliament: “My people were kings in Jerusalem while you were still scratching around in the fields for mushrooms.”

The point is, Jerusalem was the capital of Israel long before Berlin or New York even existed. The city has been the capital of only one people, and that is the Jewish people.

When the Ottoman Turks conquered the region and reigned over it for 400 years, they never treated the city as anything more than a backwater provincial town.

How strange it is then that the world believes that the ancient biblical city should not be Jewish.

The Jews have more claim to Jerusalem than the French have to Paris or the Germans to Berlin or the British to London.

This is a people that for thousands of years expressed its attachment to and longing for the city by exclaiming every Passover: “Next year in Jerusalem!” The city has been the capital of only one people, and that is the Jewish people. No other nation can or should lay claim to it. As Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu recently declared, “Jerusalem is not a settlement!” It is the City of David, Solomon, the great prophets and sages of the Bible, and the city that Jesus himself prayed for and recognized as Jewish.

Even the Patriarch Abraham, 4,000 years ago, travelled to Moriah and the city of Salem to worship God. It is from this divine encounter that the city, even the modern one, takes its name. It is Jerusalem, the city of peace and of righteousness.

It is absurd to think otherwise, and yet this is the nature of the global political consensus today. It is nothing short of shameful.
