P F Tinmore,
et al,
Let me start off with a universal thought:
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said:
Nothing can justify terrorism — ever. No grievance, no goal, no cause can excuse terrorist acts.

The Hostile Arab Palestinian (HoAP) puts themselves above this basic tenant of peace. The HoAP believe that they are due any means to oppose the State of Israel because they were being deprived of the right to self-determination following the adoption of General Assembly Resolution 181 (II) of 1947, which partitioned Palestine into an Arab and a Jewish State. The HoAP believes the Resolution unjustly attaches conditions to international legitimacy to the Jewish people, giving the right to sovereignty and national independence; against the will of the Palestinian Arab people holds the only legitimate right to sovereignty and national independence with the territory formerly under the Mandate of Palestine.
Actually, I try to look at the various finger-pointing exercises, as counter-productive.
Yet you piss on the Palestinians for defending their country.
(REALITY and its DANGER)
What I've described as a threat to peace, is not "piss on the Palestinians for defending their country," but the consequences of that mentality that leads them to believe that they are above the law in the struggle they pursue.
The HoAP, and their Arab League allies, and the Iranians that supported them for so long, contend that they have a right and a duty to use any of the means and methods that it adopt
(a 16th Century concept made popular by Machiavelli stating: "the ends justifies the means") as righteous in their open defiance of the General Assembly, the Security Council, and the Jewish People which followed the guidance and protocols.
"At the beginning of an action the HoAP might not be able to determine whether that action is morally right or wrong, but when their goal is successfully achieved, then they mistakenly believe the steps which led to it must be morally right too."
You know from the
previous posting what those goals are.
The HoAP believes that
The ends
(Openly defying the General Assembly!)
(“The only way to establish partition is first to wipe them out – man women and child;" Armed struggle is the only way to liberate Palestine and there is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad; attaining control of Palestine, with the boundaries it had during the British Mandate, is an indivisible territorial unit)
justifies the means
(suicide bombings, the Olympic Massacre, piracy on the high seas, airline hijacking, rocket attacks, ambushes and murder)
This is the morality set by the HoAP and reiterated by a Senior HoAP official:
In an article published July 16 said:
"The Palestinian resistance is entitled to expand and diversify its means and tools of resistance; this is a legitimate resistance that defends a defenseless people that has fallen under an oppressive occupation which is supported by the global forces of evil. No one has the right to condemn the resistance for any of the methods that it adopts, because it knows better than everyone else what is good for it and for its noble objectives."

This is the morality and the nobility as expressed by the HoAP.
It is the reality of the ground truth.
I submit that I have the right and a duty to challenge the morality and nobility of the HoAP as expressed by their leadership. I submit that, I have the right to condemn the resistance for any of the methods that it adopts, that are in contradiction to the SecGens declaration of SG/SM/14764 SC/10883.
The Jewish People established their independence under the terms and conditions set by the General Assembly and as implemented (to the extend possible) by the Security Council. It completed the preparatory steps to independence. The ink had not dried yet, when the Arab League and the HoAP, attempted to usurp that right of self-determination when (in effect) a Civil War erupted. A Civil War between the Jewish People and the HoAP (supported by foreign powers of the Arab League).
The right to self-determination in Palestine said:
After the 1948 war, Israel was established on a more extensive territory than recommended in the partition plan. By entering into the Armistice Agreement with Egypt in 1949, Israel, demonstrated a sufficient level of stable and effective government of the territory to be recognised as a state by other states and the UN. Israel was effectively and lawfully established as a state, on the armistice territory, by secession from the Mandate of Palestine. A state for the Palestinians living in the Mandate of Palestine was never created and this unrealised goal still constitutes one of the core issues of the conflict.
SOURCE: The right to self-determination of both peoples living in Palestine, namely the Palestinians and the Jews, was confirmed by the UN General Assembly in Resolution 181 of 29 November 1947, which included the plan to divide the British Mandate of Palestine into one Jewish and one Palestinian state.
Nothing in the UN Charter impairs the inherent right of the State of Israel to defend itself if an armed attack occurs against it; the exercise of this right of self-defense necessary in order to maintain or restore peace and security. Since 1948, several other attempts by the HoAP and the Arab League allies, have been fought; the last of which was the Arab Sneak Attack of 1973 during Yom Kipper.
There is no question, either on the HoAP or the Israeli side, that a state of War still exists. The HoAP openly have admitted that it is their duty to commit offenses which are solely intended to harm the Occupying Power (Israel), but which constitute an attempt on the life and limb of members of the occupying forces or administration, executing a grave collective danger, inflicting seriously damage on the people of Israel and other non-combatants (as stated above). Open violations of a heinous and lethal nature in violation of
Article 68 of the GCIV. And then wonder what the justification is for continued occupation, sequestering, and quarantine efforts.
The Israeli does not deny the Palestinian Arab people possess the legal right to their homeland and to self-determination within the terms and conditions of
General Assembly Resolution 181(II), as is amended by the outcome of Civil War and armed aggression by foreign Arab Powers. It does argue against the HoAP belief that Palestine, with the boundaries it had during the British Mandate, is an indivisible territorial unit and that it is an indivisible part of the greater Arab homeland.
Most Respectfully,
R
