There were Palestinian Jews but they were not the ones who declared independence. The native Jews were opposed to a Jewish state.MJB12741, et al,
There is this thing called "statecraft." It is the development and implementation of diplomatic and political strategies for dealing with the ever evolving environment of international relations. The theory and application of force and threats of force have been, and will continue to be, a necessary instrument of diplomacy. And as everyone knows, the "military option" (as it is sometime called) is not in the military decision-making process for the more advanced nations; but, an executive decision based on national security considerations and the respective priorities assigned, with respect to the consequences, economic impact, domestic and international backlash, and outcomes (on a scale of most dangerous to affordably successful with positive results), based on the national security objective.
This is not really rocket science for most of us. While we may not articulate it in some coherent fashion, at the micro-levels of interfacing with everyday life, we each instinctively know (Except for the Simple Minded) that some behaviors are societally acceptable and behaviors will have adverse consequences.
(COMMENT)The Zionists in Israel need to put an end to placating Palestinian demands which results in rocket missiles for a thank you.
The risks in promoting fiction between the Israelis and the Arab-Palestinians matter because stakes create tension. The protagonist’s (Arab-Palestinians) ultimate goal and objective, is a moving target. As if by Magic, it can change right before your eyes. Whether you respect the policy of the Palestinian Authority or the Islamic Resistance Movement (HAMAS), they each stand firm on the RoR for Palestinian refugees and displaced individuals; their right to their homes from which they were expelled or were prevented from returning to, including in the occupied territories of 1948 or 1967, i.e., to all of Palestine. .
If the Arab-Palestinian goal and objective is low, then tension is dependent on the aggravation presented by Arab-Palestinian jihadist activity, insurgent rocket and mortar fire, . The stakes are often linked to inner conflict, as the protagonist wonders if what is at stake is worth it. In these situations, the story line forces him to reconsider his beliefs and values. As the Arab-Palestinians cycle through their these period of incitement to violence, --- attack, suffer casualties, sue for peace, only to rearm again ... ... ... the the tension will build until the the domestic aspects of leadership becomes so hot that it burst and the executive leadership triggers another military intervention. Once the Leaders go reiterate their long standing oath to liberate the territory formerly under the Mandate, the environment will burst.
(ARAB-PALESTINIAN MANTRA)
No matter which document or policy you review (the 1948 Threat Letter, the 1968 Palestinian National Charter, the 1988 HAMAS Covenant, OR the 2012 HAMAS Policy Statement, the policy always comes back to the beginning:
Palestine, from its river to its sea, from its north to its south, is the land of the Palestinians; their homeland, and their legitimate right. We will not relinquish an inch or any part of it -for any reason or under any circumstances and pressures.
Palestine, in its entirety, is an Arab and Islamic land. It has Islamic and Arab affiliations and is considered a blessed and sacred land. Moreover, it has a special place in the heart of every Arab and Muslim, as well as standing and respect in all religions.
• Armed struggle is the only way to liberate Palestine.
• Jihad and armed resistance is the correct and authentic means for the liberation of Palestine and the restoration of all rights.
Most Respectfully,
RPalestine, from its river to its sea, from its north to its south, is the land of the Palestinians; their homeland, and their legitimate right.
That is Palestine's required defined territory as stated in their 1948 declaration of independence.
You mean the Jews.
Palestinian Jew is the term used to refer to a Jewish inhabitant of Palestine (known in Hebrew as Eretz Israel, the "Land of Israel") prior to the establishment of the modern state of Israel.
Do you know anything, anything atall about Jews and Judaism? Before you shout your mouth off with sweeping statements?
