"RE: Palestinians Massing At The Israeli Border
※→ P F Tinmore, et al,
Yes, we've all heard this whining before.
The Arab Palestinians make decisions and then when the outcome and consequences are not to their liking, the make a complaint saying that they were (somehow) at a disadvantage.
In over a 100 years, the Arab Palestinians have not been able to take responsibility for their future and destiny in any fashion. They always need a responsible adult to look after their interests. They are not capable of making a decision on their own behalf.
(COMMENT)
Between April 1950 "elections were held for a new Jordanian parliament in which the Palestinian Arabs of the West Bank were equally represented. Thirteen days later, Parliament unanimously approved a motion to unite the two banks of the Jordan River, constitutionally expanding the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in order to safeguard what was left of the Arab territory of Palestine.
(SOURCE LINK) The decisions made in April 1950 by the Arab Palestinians, became known as the "Unification of the Two Banks." In the 38 years that followed the Arab Palestinians did not fight the annexation. On the contrary, the Arab Palestinians attempted to expand their control and forcibly bring down the Hashemite Kingdom. In the Seven decades since the establishment of the State of Israel, the Arab Palestinians had always claimed they were unable to establish their own self-governing institution.
There is a great difference between the reality of an actual establishment of control and the theoretical establishment of a self-governing institution.
Even the Gaza and Ramallah Governments
(such as they are) which have been unable, totally incapable of bringing any kind of semblance of a honest government forward, has spent much of their time end fighting among themselves and being a disintegrated state where basic conditions and responsibilities of a sovereign government never had the necessary leadership to function properly.
Most Respectfully,
