Dear Europe – the Israelis are not your Jews

It is revealing how they address their complaints against Israel, doing so in terms of “punishment,” as to a misbehaving child. Opinion.

At some point, the people who run the European Union will have to get used to the idea that Israel is here to stay.

So far, it’s been a tough sell, mostly because old habits die hard.

Amid the flurry of denunciations against Israel, for even thinking about going ahead with sovereignty for parts of Judea and Samaria, most telling is this remark from Josep Borrell, EU’s High Commissioner for Foreign Affairs, as follows: “We strongly urge Israel to refrain from any unilateral decision that would lead to the annexation of any occupied Palestinian territory, and would be, as such, contrary to international law.”

Regarding international law, the high commissioner is highly mistaken, as we read here from the Gatestone Institute.

From time immemorial, or precisely the Revelation at Sinai, which the Sage Judah Halevi referred to as the defining moment of all world history, the land, all of it, belongs to the Jews, verified over and over again from Balfour, to the League of Nations, to the San Remo Conference, back to The Kuzari and ultimately to the Hebrew Bible.

It is written in parchment. It is written in stone. It is written in the DNA of every Jewish person, man, woman, and child.

So what’s troubling those European commissioners, high and low, particularly from France, and now even the Vatican?


Yes, France, still famous for the Roundup of Paris, which even amazed the Gestapo at how smartly the gendarmes rushed to the task.

Suddenly, the French were more efficient even than the Germans…and today, incidentally, Germany has also voiced “concern” about Israel’s possible move toward partial annexation.

Then leave it to our Democrats to take sides. The wrong one. From the Senate, 19 of them “warn” Israel that it had better think twice when it comes to sovereignty.

Has there ever been a time when Jews have not been “warned?”

Once again (King David) --- “the nations are in an uproar.”

Turning to that quip “occupied Palestinian territory,” it tells you everything you need to know about what they’ve all been thinking over these past 72 years…and it is not only about “the West Bank” but rather about the entire country. To them, all of it belongs to the Arabs, or to anyone…anyone except the Jews.

Why? Because to their minds, the Jews are part of the European Experience, an experience the Israelis would rather forget…but of which the Europeans can’t let go.

To the typical Israeli, Europe is a galaxy long ago and far away.

They won’t say it out loud, but to the EU it is all “occupied Palestinian territory,” because Jews are home at last and masters of their own destiny.

It’s what’s driving them crazy (except for Austria and Hungary, apparently).

It’s why they go full-throttle whenever the Israelis build a settlement in a place that has been “reserved” for the Palestinian Arabs.

How strange, that a particular country is being asked to set aside miles of its own territory so that another people can walk in and take over.

Very strange, but not when it comes to Israel…and the Europeans are shocked to find the Israelis so…so “intransigent” about it all. These Jews refuse to comply.

It is revealing how they address their complaints against Israel, doing so in terms of “punishment,” as to a misbehaving child.

Israel, so happens, has grown into a full-fledged world power.

Someone needs to tell them about this

 
Stripped of the lies and false and deceptive claims contained in this statement that have formed part and parcel of the PLO’s propaganda arsenal since its formation in 1964 – Abbas’s message was clear: Abbas was now turning over responsibility for Judea and Samaria to Israel.

The PLO had never claimed “regional sovereignty over the West Bank in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan” or “on the Gaza Strip” as article 24 of its founding 1964 Charter declared. Its activities were to be “on the national popular level in the liberational, organizational, political and financial fields”.

This PLO position only changed in 1968 after Jordan – having occupied Judea and Samaria between 1950 and 1967 driving out every Jew living there – lost that territory to Israel in the Six Day War. Gaining sovereignty in 100% of Judea and Samaria by the creation of another Arab State became the focus of the PLO from 1968.

Palestinian Children Shot in Jerusalem, One in Critical Condition

But you probably never heard of it, because they weren’t shot by Jews

Two small Palestinian Arab children were shot and wounded, one critically, on the eastern side of Jerusalem on Wednesday night.

Most people reading that headline and opening paragraph will subconsciously assume these children were victims of the “Israeli occupation forces.” That’s how the mainstream media has trained us to think.

The fact of the matter, however, is that these two children are not being mentioned anywhere in the mainstream international media, because they weren’t shot by Israeli police or soldiers.

They were shot by fellow Palestinian Arabs. And therefore, no one cares.



Plagued by lawlessness
Both shootings took place in the Shuafat neighborhood on Jerusalem’s north-eastern outskirts.

Four-year-old Rafif al-Qara’in was sitting with her family for the festive evening meal to break the daily Ramadan fast when a bullet suddenly struck her.

It remains unclear from where the shot was fired. As there were no armed demonstrations happening at the time, the assumption at press time was that Rafif was hit by a stray bullet related to the gang violence that plagues the neighborhood.

She is currently listed in critical condition at Jerusalem’s Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital, where doctors say that there is “immediate danger to her life.”

The other wounded child is a three-year-old boy who likely would have died if not for the heroic actions of his father.

Closed-circuit television cameras caught a masked man entering the father’s grocery store and opening fire toward the boy. The father immediately jumped on his son, shielding him with his own body. The gunman shot both victims, left the store, then returned and opened fire again.

Both father and son suffered light injuries.

Local residents who spoke to Israel’s Ynet news portal said the store in question has been targeted before.

 
Stabbing Attack in Jerusalem Foiled

An Arab terrorist was shot and critically wounded after attempting to stab policemen in Jerusalem late Monday afternoon. No Israelis were injured.

The incident occurred at the entrance to a security facility situated adjacent to the Arab neighborhood of Jabel Mukaber, TPS reports.

The assailant, estimated to be in his 30s, was taken to Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital.

When pressed to explain what steps Jordan would take if Israel does apply sovereignty to parts of Judea and Samaria, Abdullah refused to specify whether his country would cancel the 1994 peace treaty with Israel, but said that all options would be considered.

But behind closed doors, Arab leaders have struck a very different tone, either reconciling themselves to Israel’s sovereignty plan – or even supporting its implementation.

According to a report by Israel HayomWednesday morning, senior officials from Jordan and Saudi Arabia say that in many cases, moderate Arab states’ official opposition to the sovereignty plan is simply for show, and that in private talks with Trump administration officials, they either accept or even back the plan.

----------
Last week, researcher and Middle East expert Yoni Ben Menachem made similar claims to those of the Arab officials cited in Wednesday’s report, calling King Abdullah’s comments to Der Spiegel lip service to placate the Palestinian Authority.

"I do not think the King wants a Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria. He would also lose his position as guardian of the holy places in Jerusalem, a status that wasn't compromised in the Deal of the Century. This issue is very important to them as the royal family as they consider themselves descended from Prophet Muhammad. Beyond the fact that the King's grandfather was murdered by a Palestinian on the Temple Mount. All these things are well known to King Abdullah."

Ben Menachem also claimed that "there was a secret message from the King to Israel through the defense establishment even before the King came out in an interview with Der Spiegel."

Continuing a longstanding tradition, Reuters Arabic’s coverage this month of the annual “conditions of the Palestinian people” reportreleased by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics reads more like a press release for the Palestinian agency than a news report by an independent international news agency.

Commander Winter, Chastised for Reciting Shema in Gaza Battle, to Lead Paratroopers Division

Defense Minister Benny Gantz, in consultation with IDF Chief of Staff, Maj. Gen. Aviv Kochavi, on Sunday announced the appointment of Brigadier General Ofer Winter to commander of the 98th Paratroopers Division, a.k.a. the Fire Brigade.

Winter spent the past year and a half in the post of Secretary to the Minister of Defense. He took office in October 2018 and in that short span worked under three different defense ministers: Avigdor Lieberman, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Naftali Bennett.

The IDF’s 98th Paratroopers Division is a reserve-service infantry division, subordinate to the Central Regional Command.

On July 9, 2014, as Commander of the Givati Brigade, Winter issued a message to his soldiers before engaging in the battle of Gaza, saying: “History has chosen us to be at the forefront of fighting the fierce terrorist enemy, who curses the God of Israel. […] I raise my eyes to the heavens and call out with you, ‘Hear, oh Israel, the lord Is our God, the Lord Is One.’ Please bring us success as we are going to fight for your nation of Israel against the enemy who despises your name.”

The commander’s message was published in the general media and sparked controversy as to whether a religious commander should involve God in his leadership of his soldiers. During the ensuing operation, the brigade unveiled terrorist tunnels and infrastructure used by Hamas, and participated in the battle of Rafah. Gantz was part of the IDF brass that delayed Winter’s professional progress, pinning him for the misdeeds of a subordinate but, everybody knew, teaching him a lesson for that Shema Israel thing.

According to a Ynet report in 2019, Gantz and his successor, Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot, were determined to bury Winter’s career, and it was the new IDF chief, Aviv Kochavi, who recognized his considerable skills and demanded his return to active command duty.

The Ma’an News Network has been the recipient of millions of dollars of grants from European sources over the years, including a donation of hundreds of thousands of euros from the EU earmarked for 2016-2019 for “Leveraging Media Initiatives to Promote Participatory Engagement in the Peace Process.”

I don’t know about funding for 2020, because Ma’an is not transparent about its funding sources, but Ma’an certainly does not even pretend to support peace with Israel today.

⁜→ Sixties Fan, et al,

BLUF: The idea of one-state → The Arab Palestinians who express this view have absolutely no idea of what they're asking for with this demand.

The Ma’an News Network
(Excerpt from EoZ) editorial last week said:
Whatever Netanyahu does… and whatever he says

However he begs… and however he threatens

We will not relinquish the idea of one-state

Farewell to the past

Farewell to area A

Farewell to half-solutions

We are coming, oh Tel-Aviv

(COMMENT)

I never understood what the Arab Palestinians (various factions) gain from a policy of "zero dialog" and "unreasonable or impossible demands."

While many like to drone on ancient history, and irrelevant points like who are "indigenous people" (an undefined term), they shy well away from meaningful exchanges pertaining to the current situation. The Arab Palestinians have evolved such -- that they cannot have anything other than corrupt governance which undermines their own leadership.

You annex foreign land, not your own country. – Menachem Begin

Right now Israel is facing a momentous decision to do something that is practically nothing.

That is to extend Israeli civilian law to some parts of Judea and Samaria, specifically the Jordan Valley and other areas where Jewish communities are located.

Why do I say it is practically nothing? Because the official position of our government, although it often does a rotten job of explaining it, is that those areas are already part of Israel. Nothing is being “annexed” as the EU insists (here is why). And while the areas are currently governed by a military government, little will change in most practical legal matters.

Of course it is a big deal for the Palestinians, for the Europeans, and indeed for anyone who wishes that the Jews did not have a sovereign state. This is because it symbolizes the end of the pretense that was so dear to them, that the “West Bank” (as they prefer to call it) is not part of Israel and ultimately will need to pass into Arab hands. It means that any “two-state solution” that could happen in the future will happen according to a map more like the map found in the Trump Plan – one that is consistent with UNSC 242 that called for “secure and recognized boundaries” – rather than the very insecure boundaries that would result from basing them on the 1949 armistice lines, as previous US administrations wished to do.

  • While Erdogan is paying lip service to the Palestinian cause and praising Hamas, which is designated as a terrorist group by the US, EU, Canada and Australia, Palestinian refugees who fled to Turkey from Syria are complaining of discrimination and mistreatment by the Turkish authorities.
  • According to Palestinian sources, there are about 10,000 Palestinian refugees in Turkey who are suffering from discrimination and living in dire conditions.
  • The suffering of the Palestinian refugees fleeing Syria begins the moment they arrive at the border with Turkey, Thuri Tamim, a Palestinian refugee, told the Palestinian Refugees Portal, an independent website covering news related to Palestinian refugees.
  • If Erdogan really wants to help the Palestinians, he can start by ordering his government to stop arresting and harassing Palestinian refugees. If he really wants to help the Palestinians, he can stop playing host and cash cow to Hamas, a terrorist group that has brought nothing but misery to Palestinians and Israelis alike.

  • Many foreign journalists seem to see the conflict along the lines of "good guys (Palestinians) versus bad guys (Israel)." They wake up every morning and search for any story that reflects badly on Israel. The foreign correspondents then hire Palestinians to assist them in spreading lies about Israel.
  • What is particularly disturbing about the dismissal of Hamad is that the Associated Press knew one of its Palestinian workers was engaged in anti-Israel activities, but failed to stop him. Hamad even ignored repeated warnings from his employers against pursuing political activities.
  • If Hamad had "repeatedly" violated AP policies by engaging in anti-Israel political activities, why was he allowed to continue covering Palestinian affairs even though his anti-Israel sentiments were known to his employers and everyone else?
  • The incident also shows that international news organizations evidently have no problem hiring anti-Israel activists as reporters and cameramen.
  • The AP evidently knew that Hamad was engaged in political activities. It nevertheless chose to turn a blind eye because Hamad was directing his hate only against Israel. As far as the AP is concerned, the moment Hamad spoke out against the brutality and repressive measures of the Palestinian Authority security forces, he crossed a red line. That is when he was informed of the decision to terminate his employment.
  • The problem is, there are many more Palestinian journalists like Hamad working for the international media in the Middle East. These journalists see themselves as soldiers serving the Palestinian cause, and their as duty bashing Israel on a daily basis.
