On 29 November 1947, the UN general assembly determined by a 2/3 vote to petition Palestine into a Jewish state and Palestinian state, recognizing Israel’s right as a state for the Jewish people. Israel declared its independence immediately after the vote. The Islamic world refused to accept that decision, and when Israel declared its independence the surrounding countries of Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon invaded in an effort to destroy the country.
The Arabs lost and Israel came into existence. Over the next thirty years, a number of wars were fought by the Arab states in an effort to eliminate Israel, without success. In the 1970’s the Palestinian Liberation Organization, a terrorist group best known for killing Israel’s athletes at the Munich Olympics evolved into a political group seeking not a stable homeland, but the elimination of Israel.
Each time a peace agreement is brokered it is the PLO who refuses to accept its terms. Yet the media and those who view the Jewish people as a threat continue to fund and praise those who seek a continuation of violence against Israel. For example, there is an active movement on the liberal college campuses that advocates for the boycotting and isolation of Israel from intellectual forums, where the issues could be openly debated, but that would not further the cause of peace because they are Jews and cannot be trusted.
So now that the President has signaled our intention to move our Embassy to Jerusalem and recognize this city as a state capital, it is somehow upsetting all possibility for peace in the region?
Give me a break! Who seriously believes the Palestinians are interested in peace for their people if it means Israel continues to exist?
Of course, changing the status quo and ignoring the anti-semitic propaganda is something the left is never very happy about. They still hate Reagan for defeating the Soviet Union and the great worker's society it represented with universal health care and empty store shelves.
