Title: The Middle East Peace Process
Post by: Gaon on November 25, 2018, 08:17:12 PM
The peace process has three false basic assumptions; that Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the main cause of instability in the Middle East, that the conflict is territorial and not ideological, and that the establishment of a Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders will end the conflict.

I've never believed that was the reason for extremism in the Middle East.

It won't happen when we eventually trade Israeli Arab lands for settlements in the West bank. That's an answer to a lot of Israel's problems, but it won't help the problems the Middle East exports to the rest of the world.

The Fatah-led Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and Hamas authorities in Gaza routinely arrest and torture peaceful critics and opponents in violation of Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Not to mention the persecution of it's Christian minority.



The settlements are a bargaining chip when the Lieberman Plan is implemented. It's the only workable solution.

Israel has very good relations with Moscow. Russian is the third largest language in Israel after Hebrew and Arabic.
Quoten 2011, Putin said: "Israel is, in fact, a special state to us. It is practically a Russian-speaking country. Israel is one of the few foreign countries that can be called Russian-speaking. It's apparent that more than half of the population speaks Russian". Putin additionally claimed that Israel could be considered part of the Russian cultural world, and contended that "songs which are considered to be national Israeli songs in Israel are in fact Russian national songs". He further stated that he regarded Russian-speaking Israeli citizens as his compatriots and part of the 'Russian world'.



During Operation Protective Edge in 2014, Putin stated that "I support Israel's battle that is intended to keep its citizens protected".



In August 2014, Russia began increasing fruit imports from Israel, after banning food imports from the EU, Norway, United States, Canada and Australia.



In October 2014, India and Israel started to export meat to Russia.



Relations between Israel and Russia improved after the Russian military intervention in Syria in September 2015. From then until July 2018, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Putin met a total of 9 times.



In October 2015, Israel and Russia held meetings to coordinate over Syria, and avoid accidentally clashing or scrambling each other's communications while operating over the country.



In March 2016, Putin said the relations with Israel were special and based "on friendship, mutual understanding and the long common history". Putin stated: "Russia and Israel have developed a special relationship. 1.5 million Israeli citizens come from the former Soviet Union, they speak the Russian language, are the bearers of Russian culture, Russian mentality. They maintain relations with their relatives and friends in Russia, and this make the interstate relations very special".

Oh, yes. Muslim unity is a model for us all.



Iraq invades Kuwait, and Iran.



Turkey has troops in Iraq and Syria.

Saudi Arabia is fighting Yemen.



Palestinians divided between Hamas and the PLO.



The UAE has declared Oman a traitor to the Arab cause.

Britain is responsible for the Israel-Palestine conflict. Britain cut away 77 percent of its mandate over Palestine earmarked for the Jews and gave it to Abdullah in 1922, creating the new country of Trans-Jordan or Jordan, as it was later named.



The Arabs' hatred of the Jewish State has never been strong enough to prevent the bloody rivalries that repeatedly rock the Middle East. These conflicts were evident in the civil wars in Yemen and Lebanon, as well as in the war between Iraq and Iran, in the gassing of countless Kurds in Iraq, and in the killing of Iraqis by Iraqis.



The manner in which European colonial powers carved out political entities with little regard to their ethnic composition not only led to this inter-ethnic violence, but it also encouraged dictatorial rule as the only force capable of holding such entities together.

Quote from: "Bricktop"Interesting.

The Balfour Declaration of 1917, promising British support for a Jewish "national home" in Palestine.



In fact, before local Jews began calling themselves Israelis in 1948 (when the name "Israel" was chosen for the newly-established Jewish State), the term "Palestine" applied almost exclusively to Jews and the institutions founded by new Jewish immigrants in the first half of the 20th century, before the state's independence.



Some examples include:



The Jerusalem Post, founded in 1932, was called The Palestine Post until 1948.



Bank Leumi L'Israel, incorporated in 1902, was called the "Anglo-Palestine Company" until 1948.



The Jewish Agency – an arm of the Zionist movement engaged in Jewish settlement since 1929 – was initially called the Jewish Agency for Palestine.



Today's Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, founded in 1936 by German Jewish refugees who fled Nazi Germany, was originally called the "Palestine Symphony Orchestra," composed of some 70 Palestinian Jews

Im not saying the Palestinians are angels but Israel sure isnt either



Unlike the United States many Canadians do not feel any affinity with Israel & would rather not align ourselves with them. They are not really our allies nor are we beholden to them.



Canadians like myself resent our citizens going over to Israel to fight for that country in conflicts which Canada is not involved with. Then they expect to be able to return like nothing happened.



What we should tell these young people is if they choose to take up arms for Israel, then take up citizenship there give up your Canadian and please dont come back.



Dual citizenship should only be valid and used for peaceful purposes and not to wage war.



 We discourage Canadian nationals from joining other nations militaries like Russia or Iran so we should apply the same principle  to Israel too.

These appellations are, of course, irrelevant.



The fact is that Britain inherited what was known as Palestine after the 2nd World War, and sought to create a "2 state" solution of sorts. However, the Jewish organisations saw Palestine as the homeland Jews had been seeking for centuries and despite British resistance, flooded the area with Jews fleeing Europe.



In order to remove British influence, the Jews formed terror brigades and implemented a program of terror against British and "Palestinian" agencies...the first use of terror as a political weapon in the modern era, and one which the Palestinians learned much from.



Britain capitulated, seeing there was no hope of a peaceful solution that involved dual States. This led to a "civil" war between Arabs and Jews which saw the displacement of Arabs from what was known as Palestinian.



With Jewish forces well in control of the area, Israel declared itself a sovereign nation, and initiated the first Arab-Israeli war, which saw Arab forces repelled. Arab nations since, other than Egypt, refuse to recognise Israel...and never will. Jordan has been toying with the idea, as many of the original Palestinian Arabs came from what is now Israel. However, other Arab States have made it clear that Jordan will risk confrontation if it recognises Israel.



An odd and erroneous understanding is that Iran is one of the Arab bloc against Israel. Iran is not Arabic, but Persian, and so had no dog in the fight when Israel was formed. It would seem their contempt for Israel is more based on religious than national grounds.
Title: Re: The Middle East Peace Process
Post by: Gaon on November 27, 2018, 01:00:21 AM
I am establishing  that Jews are the original Palestinians as Britain recognized them.



Britain didn't inherit Palestine, they took it as result of the Sykes-Picot Agreement. This created artificial borders in the Middle East. ISIL states that one of of their aims is to reverse that agreement. Irgun which you cited, was established as a result of that terrible agreement to carve up the Middle East.



The original Sykes-Picot agreement was reconfirmed at the 1920 San-Remo Conference, incorporating on Britain's insistence the Balfour Declaration – without, however, drawing final borders, including those between the Galilee and the Golan. The Zionist movement had laid claim to all the land up to the Litani river, now in Lebanon, and to the sources of the river Jordan, but while the border of Palestine was eventually extended northward, mainly as a result of the Jewish settlements in what is now called the "Galilee salient," the Litani river, most of the Golan, excluding the eastern shore of the Sea of Galilee and the Banias river, remained French and later Syrian or Lebanese – until the Six Day War in 1967.



On the downside, it must be admitted that in creating the artificial states of Iraq, Syria and to some extent, Jordan, the Sykes-Picot agreement can also be blamed for the present mayhem in the Middle East and in consequence, many of the dangers facing Europe and the rest of the world today.

Quote from: "Gaon"it must be admitted that in creating the artificial states of Iraq, Syria and to some extent, Jordan,


Israel is equally artificial.



That said, so are many nations. Israel is no different to America, Australia, Canada, and other nations transplanted by colonialism.



The entire middle east is a trainwreck, ruined by greedy colonial powers that based their foreign relations on white superiority.



There will be no peace, because there will be no peace between arab and muslim States.



The only thing that will settle things is World War 3.

At the time of the Balfour declaration the number of Jews living in Israel was between 80,000 and 90,000. What most people don't know is that these Jews had already established a de facto Jewish National Home.



The Jews, some of whom had lived in the land for centuries, had established this de facto state without the assistance of any colonial or imperialist powers. Instead, they relied on their own hard work, building infrastructure and cultivating land they'd legally purchased.



The Balfour Declaration did not establish a Jewish state. It was an endorsement by the British government of a Jewish protectorate. An endorsement they abandoned upon taking control of the land. They then began doing everything they could to prevent the establishment of a Jewish State.

There was never an intent by the colonial powers to create a Jewish state.



Jews saw the opportunity and exploited it. The fact that a handful of Jews had lived there for centuries did not justify the creation of a State on that basis alone.



Jews seized the moment, and enacted a strategic plan to build Zion, on the presumption that the indigenous people, like the Australian and Canadian aborigines, the indigenous American natives, the African natives, Irish catholics and other colonised people would be easily quelled.



Israel is colonised territory, just as we are. The difference is that you built your colony in the belly of the beast. Our tribulations with the original occupants are minor by comparison to Israel's.



The point is that Israel had no more right to existence than Australia, Canada, the US and our counterparts all over the world. Our forebears simply took land that in their view was not being utilised by the inhabitants.

And aborigines are the original Australians. And Canadians. And Americans. And New Zealanders.



Originality clearly is no basis for governing.



Britain had no intent to create a sovereign nation, and for good reason.



I remind you that it was Jewish terrorism that caused the British to withdraw and leave the Jewish population free reign to take command of the land and ultimately fill it with their own kind.



That is not a birthright. That is colonisation.

Hell yes. The collapse of the secularist/multi religionist Ottoman empire left a huge vacuum. Political islam is one of the thins that has filled the hole left behind by Turkey.

Australia OKS West Jerusalem as capital



SYDNEY — Australia has decided to formally recognize west Jerusalem as Israel's capital, but won't move its embassy until there's a peace settlement between Israel and the Palestinians, Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced Saturday.



Morrison said in a speech that Australia would recognize east Jerusalem as Palestine's capital only after a settlement has been reached on a two-state solution.



The Australian embassy won't be moved from Tel Aviv until such a time, he said.



While the embassy move is delayed, Morrison said his government would establish a defence and trade office in Jerusalem and would also start looking for an appropriate site for the embassy.



"The Australian government has decided that Australia now recognizes west Jerusalem, as the seat of the Knesset and many of the institutions of government, is the capital of Israel," Morrison said.



He said the decision respects both a commitment to a two-state solution and long-standing respect for relevant UN Security Council resolutions.



Australia becomes the third country to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital, following the U.S. and Guatemala.

There will never be a two State solution. Arabs are incapable of managing even a single State.

They don't even want their own country. Israel would stop paying for all their critical infrastructure. Their rich Gulf state allies won't pick up the tab either.

Military aid, yes. Development aid, not a chance. They have no interest in a prosperous happy nation bordering Israel.

Especially run by Palestinians.



People forget that the Palestinians moved into Jordan in the late 1960's and were on the verge of toppling the government there until King Hussein mobilised his army and kicked them out. He wanted no Palestinian forces in his country, and it is suggested he wanted no Palestinians at all.



Over 3 million remain there in heavily controlled camps.

This gave rise to the terrorist organisation known as Black September...as Hussein attacked the PLO in that month and threw the PLO out of the country, destroying much of its arsenal in the process.
