RE: All The News Anti-Israel Posters Will Not Read Or Discuss

Sometimes the obvious is not what it appears to be; especially in the Middle East.

I agree, the article is well worth the time to read.
While I think that even a nickel spent on anything in Gaza is a perversion towards humanity
(direct material support to terrorism), the half-million dollars is not an especially large propaganda expenditure in an effort to spread the word
(any word). In the last decade, the Arab Palestinians in the state of unknown whereabouts, have become very effective in the use of political and economic coercion and the propaganda in the arena of legalizing jihadism, insurgent activity, radicalized Islamic murder, supports to Arab Palestinian cause, gaining political support in the targeting of civilian Jews, promotion of guerrilla activities and asymmetric operations against Israel.

This is a trick question...
No Arab Nation, including the Arab Higher Committee and the PLO Arab Palestinians, accepted the status of
'corpus separatum' for Jerusalem. It was maintained by the Jordanians from 1948
(becoming sovereign in 1950) until 1967. It became occupied Jordanian territory
(oJt) in 1967 and maintained that status up and until October 1988; when it was abandoned
(terra nullius) and fell into the hands of the Israelis.
It was never sovereign under Arab Palestinian rule
(possessing ultimate political power).
The Arab Palestinians argue that the Jordanian Annexation of 1950 was illegal. That makes no real difference. In order for East Jerusalem to have been occupied Palestinian territory, it had to be
(at some time since the termination of the Mandate) Arab Palestinians sovereign
(which it never was).
OK, I have my ceramic plates and kevlar on --- fire at will.
