Why would any country want to invest in the undeveloped Palestinians?
With Israeli bulldozers waiting in the wing.
(COMMENT)
The activity of the bulldozer is limited to those instances necessary to maintain law and order or to neutralize structures being used as safe havens and to provide material support to jihadist, terrorist, insurgents, hostile fedayeen, and other asymmetric threats.
It is as simple as this:
• The Arab League and the Hostile Arab Palestinian (HoAP) made a "solemn declaration before the United Nations, before God and history," that they will "never submit or yield to any power going to Palestine to enforce partition." Powerful Arab interests, both inside and outside Palestine, are defying the resolution of the General Assembly recommended and deliberately attempting to alter by force the outcome initiated by the Allied Powers in the era of the Great War, now a century past.
In 1948, the Arab League violated the basic tenant within
2625 (XXV) Declaration on Principles of International Law concerning Friendly Relations and Co-operation among States, when they used force against the territorial integrity and political independence of to the newly formed State of Israel; when Arab League collective
As Permanent Court of International Justice (PCIJ) said in the Mavrommatis Palestine Concessions case:
"It is an elementary principle of international law that a State is entitled to protect its subjects, when injured by acts contrary to international law committed by another State, from whom they have been unable to obtain satisfaction through the ordinary channels."
(Mavrommatis Palestine Concessions, Judgment No. 2,1924)
• In this case, the State of Israel, exercising its right to self-determination as recommended by the General Assembly of the United Nations, the "Steps Preparatory to Independence," is entitled to defend its sovereignty, integrity and it citizens from the external interference and hostile action collectively carried out by the Arab League. Additionally, the Arab League made no attempt to end the conflict initiated by the Arab League attack in 1948, until the Egyptian Peace Treaty of 1979 and later the Jordanian Treaty in 1994. The open conflict was still active by Lebanon and Syria, with the HoAP routinely conducting acts of terrorism, paramilitary raids, attacks by indirect fire and other acts of hostility; including
(but not limited to) the
Rule 6. Civilians are protected against attack, unless and for such time as they take a direct part in hostilities;
Rule 11. Indiscriminate attacks are prohibited;
Rule 23. Each party to the conflict must, to the extent feasible, avoid locating military objectives within or near densely populated areas;
Rule 24. Each party to the conflict must, to the extent feasible, remove civilian persons and objects under its control from the vicinity of military objectives.
It should be noted that the HoAP, in its continuing efforts to suppress the right of the Israeli peoples to self-determination, and:
• Resolution 1373 (2001) by providing support, active or passive, to entities or persons involved in terrorist acts, including by suppressing recruitment of members of terrorist groups and eliminating the supply of weapons to terrorists;
• Resolution 2133 (2014) thorugh acts, methods, and practices of terrorism are contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations and that knowingly financing, planning and inciting terrorist acts are also contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations;
There is little question that the ongoing conflict is a direct result of the HoAP and elements within the Arab Community that support terrorism and conflict.
Remember, even after the Armistice, the HoAP continued the conflict.
Most Respectfully,
