ISRAEL ACT NOW

Two States for Two Peoples; Two State Solution; No Apartheid; and Self-Determination




Those slogans represent an important declaration for an establishment of the second Arab-Palestinian State (first being Trans-Jordan; Jordan; Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan). But I am not going to discuss the point; because of the Jordan, Arab-Palestinians do not deserve a second state. I will try to discuss this reason from a different perspective; so for a second forget about that the Two State Solution is already implemented. Let us start from the scratch; there is a tiny strip of land from Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River. Two Peoples, Jews not Israelis and Arabs not Palestinians have a conflict amongst each other regarding the control of that land.

Majority of the world side of the story:
On November 29, 1947, the United Nations “General” Assembly approved a plan; Resolution 181 note to resolve “Arab”-“Jewish” “Conflict” by partitioning the remaining 22% of the British Mandate of Palestine into two States, one “Jewish” and one “Arab.”

Jewish Side of the Story:

We accept the Partition

Arab Side of the Story:

We oppose the Partition

The outcome of the disagreement between the Arabs and the World was a military invasion of 7 Arab Nations onto the 650,000 people newly established Jewish State. The period between 1948 through 1949 became known as the Israel’s War of Independence.

The territorial outcome of the war was that Egypt “occupied” Gaza Strip and Jordan “occupied Judea and Samaria (distorted name West Bank). This territorial arrangement is also referred to as the pre-1967 borders to which the European Union, Russia, China, United States, and other U.N. members are aspiring Israel to return and establish a second Palestinian state on Gaza, Judea and Samaria.

Question #1:
How come the so called Palestinians (Arab) did not revolt or commit suicide attacks against the occupiers of the so-called Palestinian Land for the sake of Self-Determination? I mean after all, Egypt and Jordan occupied Gaza and Judea and Samaria (West Bank) not Israel.

Before I ask another question I would like to include another historical event that took place.

After the Egyptians closed the Strait of Tiran (Declaration of War); after Syria day and night bombarded Jewish farms in the North of Israel from the Golan Heights (Declaration of War); after Egypt and Syria amassed military equipment with Soviet Union’s help close to the Israeli Borders (Declaration of War); after Egyptians expelled the United Nations Peace Keepers from Sinai Peninsula that were supposed to be there to make sure that war does not erupt in the first place (so much for U.N. peace keepers they leave when they are actually needed). Well after several declarations of wars Israel has finally came to its sanity and launched a pre-emptive attack on the aggressors. Even though Jordan was warned not to intervene; they attacked Israel. Even though the war is called the Six-Day War it was actually the Six-Hour War since Egyptian and Syrian Air Force was destroyed within hours of the defensive Israeli attack.

The territorial outcome of the defensive war Israel acquired:

1. Jewish People had finally United Jerusalem
2. Jewish People liberated Judea and Samaria from Jordanians
3. Jewish People liberated Golan Heights from Syria
4. Jewish People liberated Gaza Strip
5. Jewish People acquired Sinai Peninsula
From historical perspective the liberated lands were the major military invasion points for all the invaders of the Jewish Country. Let go back to our analysis of the outcomes; the Arabs were extremely infuriated due to the embarrassing losses incurred. They thought long and they though hard and the came up with a good strategy.

1. Emergence of the Palestinian Nation
2. Pre-1967 borders for the Palestinian State
3. Jerusalem as they Capital of the Palestinian State

“The Palestinian people do not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism.

For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan. “

Zuheir Mohsen Palestinian leader of the Syria-controlled as-Sa'iqa faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) between 1971 and 1979

Question #2
So how come the so-called Palestinians did not create a Palestinian State between 1949 and 1967; they had 18 years to do so?
