Delivering Israel to the Arabs
As was entirely predictable, Obama has gone to his good friends the Saudis to help him throw Israel under the bus. Having bowed deeply to the Saudi King Abdullah when they were in London last week (an image which tells you everything you need to know – and so has been conspicuous by its absence from the MSM; the Queen, by contrast, merited only a protocol-busting hand on the back) Obama, according to his Middle East envoy George Mitchell, is adopting the Saudi Israel destruction “peace” plan as his solution to the Middle East impasse. Ha'aretz reports:
The Arab peace initiative will be part of the Obama administration's policy toward the Middle East, the United States special envoy to the region said. The 2002 initiative offers to normalize relations between the entire Arab region and Israel, in exchange for a complete Israeli withdrawal from occupied territories including East Jerusalem, the establishment of a PalestinianState and a ‘just settlement’ for Palestinian refugees.
That “just settlement” in the Saudi destruction plan means the unlimited immigration into Israel of the Arabs of the territories, which would mean the end of Israel. It would certainly result in two states – both of them Arab. Has there ever been a dispute whose proposed solution is the establishment of a state for people clamouring for one of their own plus their right to live in someone else’s country? How can this possibly be said to be a fair settlement? Contrary to the propaganda, those Arabs have no legal or moral claim on Israel any more than the descendants of any other population displaced through war – even less so in this case because they were displaced through their own illegal aggression in a war which they continue to wage to this day.
In similar vein, giving up east Jerusalem, to which Israel has an overwhelming claim according to both international law and historical attachment and presence, would expose Jerusalem’s Jewish inhabitants to an annihilatory genocidal regime – most probably standing proxy for Iran – literally in the neighboring streets. (It would also mean the desecration not only of Jewish holy places, as happened before 1967when under illegal Jordanian occupation synagogues and cemeteries were destroyed and Jews were forbidden to pray at the Western Wall, but of Christian ones too – remember the destruction by the Taleban of the Buddhas of Banyam.) This would therefore be the most unjust settlement of any dispute in the world.
The adoption of this plan by the Obama administration means that all its protestations about safeguarding Israel’s security are totally worthless. It has now thrown its weight behind the destruction of Israel.
What is that eerie sound? It is the continuing silence of America’s Jews.
