RE: Palestinian Talks, lectures, & interviews.
SUBTOPIC: Implementation of Obligations.
⁜→Book of Jeremiah, louie888, LA RAM FAN, et al,
PREFACE: Many factors influenced the 1920 Decisions of the San Remo Conference and the Principle Allied Powers that were victorious coming out of The Great War (II). Where you speak in short-term steps and about one faction in a sea of Arabs, they were looking at the pattern extending over 2000 years. A pattern of inequities in governance over the Jewish People, rampant religious discrimination that was openly condoned and unnecessarily pervasive all across Europe and the Middle East. These patterns of continuous expulsions, incarcerations, kangaroo court proceedings, inquisition treatment, and alike, that the Principled Allied Powers thought they might be able to rectify. They were forward-thinking. But like some many time governmental alliances may be genuinely acting in good faith, their execution lacked decisive implementation.
BLUF: It is quite easy for us today to be armchair critics and nitpick the understanding of a situation and events → only after a century later → well after it has happened. Having the benefit of seeing how decisions about post-War events concerning Ottoman Territory, it is easy for us today to say IF this - and - IF that about the regional evolution and development. (Monday Morning Quarterbacks are notorious for their insight...)
Who cares what the UN says about Israel? I think the UN is a worthless, bias, power hungry organization that should have been abandoned decades ago. See how that works?
Like before 1948? The world sure would be a helluva lot better off had they not given Palestine to extremist Jews.
Did anyone really believe that the UN giving Palestine to extremist Jews would bode well for peace?
(COMMENT)
No organization is without its faults. That is just how it is, most likely because of the many different perspectives. You can talk about the shortcomings of any institution when you are not pressed for a solution.
Most pro-Arab Palestinians are quick to blame the Israelis --- as if it today's crisis is all their fault. I've even heard the claim made that the Israelis are responsible for the development of the various Jihadists, Fedayeen Activists, Hostile Insurgents, Radicalized Islamic Followers, and Asymmetric Fighters. But at the end of the day the Hostile Arab Palestinians 20% of the EU Terrorist Organizations list are Arab Palestinians. like:
- Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade
- The Palestine Islamic Jihad (PIJ)
- Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP)
- Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command
- The Islamic Resistance Movement (HAMAS)
Are there extremists in Israel? Probably! But they are not popping up as a terrorist threat. I see Dutch, Iranian, Saudi Arabian, Algerian, and Lebanese. But none of the EU member nations have a BOLO, Wants and Warrants on Israel for terrorism. And while Congress has the Constitutional Authority to issue grant Letters of Marque and Reprisals against any threat, extra-judicial or not, they have not done so in my lifetime.
To be sure, the Israelis are not perfect. But the difference between the honesty, integrity, and moral values of the two cultures
(Israeli vs Arab Palestinian) is as deep as the Grand Canyon.
