Just looking at the war in the Middle East, as a casual observer, as most people do,
anyone would call for a cease fire for the poor poor people of Gaza and
Lebanon that nasty old Israel has no regard for. Anyone would ask for a state for the Palestinians so these poor people could live in peace and harmony with their Arab neighbors and with Israel. Sadly the reality precludes such a solution. Let me put down some bullet points for you. You
probably don't follow the situation in the Middle East as and anyway it is not your fight and you have other things to think
about. You could read these out to any of your friends that are up in arms about Israel. Pretty well any of these points can be confirmed by a simple google search.
1/ Israel has never, not once, not ever started a fight with any of her neighbors.
2/
Arab countries and their proxies (terrorist organizations) have
attacked Israel again and again and again (how many again's would you
like)
3/ The Arabs have been offered a two state solution at
least 5 times, the first time in 1948 and have rejected it each time. Presidents of the USA
have wasted great tranches of time working on this only to have it
rejected by the Arabs.
4/ Then finally in 2005, Israel decided to create a
two state solution unilaterally. She pulled out of Gaza and said to the
Arabs, administer yourselves. Vast amounts of money were poured into
Gaza from Arab and Western countries and water and electricity was provided from Israel. This should have made every citizen
of Gaza rich. I assume you have at least enough knowledge about what she did with this wealth that I don't have to detail what it was used
for.
5/ The terrorists, Namely, Hamas in Gaza, Hisbollah in Lebanon,
The Revolutionary Guard in Iran, the Hooties in Yemin, Isis in Iraq, are
a far greater problem for the people of each of these countries than
they are for Israel. They have their boots on the necks of their people
and treat them abysmally up to and including murder not only if any dissenter but also their families.
6/ The
same terrorists are a threat to every regime in the Middle East. The
kleptocratic Theocracy of Iran has taken over Iran and wants to take
over these neighboring countries. They are often oil rich nations so they pay the
terrorists to leave them alone. This money comes back to Israel in the
form of rockets.
7/ Many of the Arab countries have realized
that Iran under her present regime is a threat to all of them. They are
watching this war closely. If Israel has the staying power and the
ability to wipe out the terrorists, they will sign the Abraham Accords.
If she doesn't, they won't. If they do, countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar and others will have relationships with Israel similar to the
relationships with Egypt and Jordan. To put it bluntly, the road
to peace lied through the destruction of these terrorist organizations.
8/
There are very positive signs that the Lebanese government (such as it
is) and people from all over the Middle East are rising up against the
terrorist organizations as they are made weaker and weaker by Israel.
9/
Of course there is the often made point that the terrorist
organizations make it a policy to put their bunkers and weapon stores
under UN facilities and hospitals. It is clear what the results will
be.
10/ And finally, in my opinion (the above points are simple, easily confirmed facts) one would have to be gullible to the point of being a simpleton, to believe any of the mortality figures coming out of Gaza. Do you really think that an organization that promulgated Oct7, would shy away from inflating mortality figures when they depend on the 'useful idiots' of the west to stop Israel from destroying them.
If you even listen to the news occasionally, you may well have heard of the Two State Solution. Since the Israelis already have a state and the Palestinians don't, just the phrase 'two state solution' implies that somehow the Israelis have been blocking the Palestinians from getting a sovereign state. Nothing could be further from the truth. The first time Palestinian Arabs were offered a state was in 1948 when the UN declared the land that was owned by Jews as a state and the most recent was in 2005 when Israel unilaterally pulled out of Gaza and left it to the administration of the Arabs that remained there. The only time a two state solution came about, was in 2005 and it was forced on the Palestinians.
It was most disappointing that in Sept. 2024 that so many nations at the UN called for the cessation of the war in the Middle East.
It
seems like a great move on the face of it. After all, who wants a war to continue. That is until you realize the true
nature of the conflict. All that is necessary to stop the war is for Hezbollah, Hamas
and the Houthis to stop firing rockets at, and carrying on terrorist acts
against Israel, return the civilian hostages that they kidnapped, and the war will be over in that hour. In contrast if
Israel stopped her military action against the terrorists, they would
continue to carry on just as they have been doing for years, firing rockets at the civilian population of Israel and carrying out various terrorist acts. The phrase
'from the river to the sea' should be enough to cause anyone to realize
the truth. The river is the Jordan, the sea, the Mediterranean. It is a call for the genocide of the people of Israel.
Incidentally, if the Moslems ever succeed in conquering Israel, the Arab
state they create would rapidly slide into the same sort of
kleptocratic theocracy that is found in all the surrounding states. Women and all minorities in the new state would be persecuted and would loose all their human rights that we, in the west, take as our god given right.
Of most importance, the two state solution has been tried and failed. Israel did
it unilaterally in 2005 when she pulled out of Gaza, lock, stock and
barrel and left the Arabs to manage their own affairs. If the Arabs had used
the immense amount of wealth they were given to develop, instead of arming Gaza, it would
now be the Beirut of the Middle East (Before Iran and her terrorist proxies took it over, Beirut was known as the Paris, and the pearl, of the Middle East)
Israel is accused of apartheid, most recently by Ramaposa of South Africa. Whatever you think about Israel, it certainly does not practice apartheid. Jews of all persuasions,
Christians, Bedouins and, yes, Moslem Arabs all have the same rights in
Israel and something over a third of the population of Israel are Arabs. And all are represented in the parliament (Knesset) in
proportion to their population. For heaven sake, a Moslem judge
recently sent a corrupt Jewish member of the government to jail for his
crimes. By contrast, in Arab countries, all minorities, even including
fellow Arabs of a different sect are heavily discriminated against.
There are no Jews in Arab countries. All have been expelled. Every Arab state has conducted 'Ethnic cleansing' (and a bit of attempted genocide). The only state in the Middle East where Arabs have the rights, we in the west consider our birth right, is in Israel.
Israel has also been accused of genocide by some equally ignorant folks. When you look at the increase of the Arab population of Israel from its inception in 1948 to the present??? show me where there is genocide. Quite to the contrary. Other countries in the Middle East have tried to commit genocide against the Armenians (Turks 1915-1916), the Kurds (Turks 1930 and Iraq 1988), the Yazides (Iraq 2014) and of course Jews again and again. I could go on but you get the picture.
The nations of the world should stop pussy footing around the subject and say it
the way it is. Call for the terrorist organizations to cease fire,
for Iran to stop financing them and to return the Israeli civilians back home.
Incidentally, if you think the ambitions of the religious fanatics who lead the Arab states ends with Israel, think again. You only have to look at the UK with the Moslems they have so easily let in. The immigrants are calling for the establishment of Sharia law which would be the end of all the freedoms the common people have won in the UK over the centuries, with blood sweat and tears. If the UK doesn't smarten up, she is going to be a very different place in a few years and it won't be pretty. Other European countries are getting so fed up with their Arab immigrants that they are talking about sending them back to where they came from.
