From the river to the sea….Israel will be free

We all know that decades of Palestinian Authority (PA) brainwashing of their citizens has created an expectation of independence based on the destruction of Israel. And we’d be fooling ourselves to think that the so-called “Palestinians” can somehow be reasoned with to accept something less than full statehood, even if it involved a capital in East Jerusalem, the forced removal of 500,000 Israelis from the Territories and the return of millions of fake refugees to Israel proper.

This means that any deal arranged with the PA for something less than a sovereign state covering the entire Land of Israel, will simply be seen as just one more step on the road to Israel’s eventual disappearance. The bottom line, then, is that the Palestinians will not accept anything less than the total destruction of Israel. And this is not my conclusion. All the scientific polling of the Palestinians indicates that this is the case. So, even in the event that Ambassador Friedman’s idea were to be implemented, our war with the Palestinians will continue. And no amount of material improvements to their lives is going to change the minds of the Palestinians. They’ve tasted Jewish blood and they want more – much more.

Of course, part of their belligerency is the result of our own inexplicable refusal to take rightful possession of our sacred homeland. Indeed, the more time passes, the more the Palestinians and their international allies believe that the Land actually belongs exclusively to them and that WE are the illegal occupiers who must be expelled. Certainly, the disgraceful refusal of both our military and political leaders to decisively stamp out Arab violence in the Territories has only convinced them that terror is a winning card. I mean, we can’t even bring ourselves to hold the PA accountable for their “pay for slay” policy, which subsidizes the murder of Jews! How pathetic is that?

That the Hashemites, a foreign tribe imported by the British from Saudi Arabia, don’t want any more Palestinians, is perfectly clear. I fully appreciate that they see the Palestinians currently residing in Jordan, in particular, as a mortal threat, who must be ruthlessly contained. Indeed, the Hashemites remember all too well Black September, when, in 1970, King Hussein slaughtered 20,000 Palestinians who he associated with the PLO’s attempt to overthrow him. However, objectively speaking, Jordan is a corrupt, economic basket case that is only one bullet away from an Islamist takeover. That this is a certain eventuality is regarded as a given by most security analysts. But even if the Hashemites were to be overthrown and a radical Palestinian state were to arise in their place, it wouldn’t be such a disaster for us. From my perspective, we would actually be given the golden opportunity to correct the illegal division of the Mandate which the British carried out in 1920.
