MIDEAST UPDATE: 5.18.19 - 700 Reasons Not To Create A Palestinian State


700 Reasons Not To Create A Palestinian State - By Moshe Phillips - http://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=3192
 
The nearly 700 rockets fired at Israel by terrorists from Gaza by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in early May were not just another round of the same mini-wars between Israel and Hamas to which the world has become accustomed to.
 
Coming just as U.S. President Donald Trump's "deal of the century" for Arab-Israeli peace is reportedly weeks from being launched, the rockets offer 700 vivid demonstrations of why a Palestinian state must not be created.
 
The international community for years badgered Israel to leave the Gaza Strip. Israelis were told that if only the occupation ended, then Gazans would embrace peace. That the presence of Israeli soldiers and Jewish communities in Gaza were the obstacles to peace.
 
That once Israel withdrew, the Gaza Palestinians would no longer have a reason to attack Israel. And that "if even a single missile were fired into Israel from Gaza," the Israeli army would be justified in reoccupying the area.
 
At the time, many leading Israeli military experts warned that withdrawal was a dangerous scheme.
 
They believed that Gaza was a vital security belt for Israel's south, and a buffer between Israel and an increasingly unstable Egypt. That Gaza under Palestinian control would become a breeding ground for Islamic terrorists and one gigantic storage depot for weapons to be used against Israel.
 
But eventually, the international pressure became unbearable. The constant browbeating by U.S. State Department officials and New York Times columnists and European Union envoys wore down Israel's political leaders.
 
They decided to gamble. In 2005, with zero demands or preconditions, Israel withdrew all its soldiers from Gaza and forcibly evicted all of the area's 10,000 Jewish residents from their homes and neighborhoods.
 
For promoters of Israeli territorial concessions, Gaza was supposed to set the precedent they hoped would soon be repeated in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank).
 
Instead, Gaza has become the most graphic illustration of why relinquishing Judea and Samaria to the perennially hostile and extremely corrupt Palestinian Authority is a fantastically dangerous idea.
 
Imagine how the actions of the Gaza Palestinians would have looked if the terrorist armies had instead been West Bank Palestinians, acting from inside a Palestinian state in the West Bank.
 
Despite the nice-sounding turn of phrase, there is no such thing as a "demilitarized Palestinian state." An independent state controls its own borders. "Palestine" would be free to open its borders to truckload after truckload after truckload of Iranian weapons.
 
If Israel tried to intervene, it would be accused of violating Palestinian sovereignty, denounced at the United Nations, and threatened with international sanctions from the European Union.
 
Now about those 700 rockets. A Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria would mean that the border with Palestine would reach the outskirts of both Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Those 700 rockets might have been aimed at the Western Wall, at the Knesset or at passenger airliners landing at Ben-Gurion Airport.
 
The terrorists and their rockets would quickly vanish behind the civilian shields of Palestinian orchards, tunnels and safe houses. The government of Palestine would declare that the attacks were "regrettable," but that they "cannot control every extremist element."
 
All the while, Palestine would continue to amass a huge arsenal of weapons--just as Hamas and Islamic Jihad have done in Gaza, and just as Hezbollah has done in southern Lebanon--and Israel would be helpless to stop it without launching a preemptive war and inviting the wrath of the international community.
 
There are many other reasons to be opposed to the creation of a West Bank Palestinian state. There is the likelihood that a drastically shrunken Israel will be unable to prosper economically and have room for new immigrants, that its cities will become unbearably overcrowded and increasingly unlivable.
 
There is the tragedy for the whole Jewish people of being completely unable to visit Jewish biblical shrines such as the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron and the Tomb of Rachel in Bethlehem.
 
There is the danger that the mass, forced expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Israelis from those the territories could provoke an all-out civil conflict in Israel.
 
But for now, let us be reminded that the national security of all Israel is at stake. Those 700 rockets gave us all that we really need to know.
 
 
 
 
Palestinian Propaganda Rockets Forward - Jim Fletcher - www.harvest.org
 
In the ongoing ideological war against Israel, the Palestinians are as usual lying about civilian deaths in the recent rocket attacks from Hamas, and Israel's response.
 
From May 4-6, Israel responded to the hundreds of rocket attacks from Gaza; four Israeli civilians were murdered.
 
Of the 23 Palestinians killed, 17 were from Palestinian terror groups, including Islamic Jihad, Hamas, Fatah, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).
 
Ashraf al-Qidra, a spokesman for the ministry of health in the Gaza Strip, reported that 27 Palestinians were killed, but he did not provide names or details. This was because when the terrorists (and their friends in global media) accuse Israel of murder, they do not want people to know the circumstances of those deaths. For example:
 
"The list issued by the spokesman for the ministry of health's list also included a pregnant woman and an infant who were killed when a rocket fired by the terrorist organizations misfired (see below), and an unborn baby still in its mother's womb when she was killed. (The mother belonged to the Hamas security forces)."
 
This information was provided by the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center.
 
In a notice released by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the eight men of this unit were pictured, under the heading "Men of the Victory."
 
Needless to say, the whole affair was another disaster for the Palestinians, yet the mindless propaganda deludes the population into believing they "won" something over Israel!
 
Among the terrorists killed:
 
"Abdallah Abd al-Rahim al-Mahoun, 22, from western Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip. Killed in an attack on his father's house in the northern Gaza Strip (Ashraf al-Qidra's Facebook page, May 5, 2019). Three civilians were killed along with him. The PIJ's military wing said Abdallah al-Madhoun, from western Beit Lahia, was an operative in its ranks (Jerusalem Brigades website, May 5, 2019)."
 
Did you catch that? Three civilians were killed alongside him. This is the cult of death known as Gaza Strip society. One picture this week showed an Israeli man covering another and the man's small child as rocket sirens blared. Here is the stark contrast between Israelis and Arabs: one side prioritizes life, while the other glorifies death and murder.
 
Here's a short profile of another terrorist killed:
 
"Talal Atiya Muhammad Abu al-Jadyan, 46, killed in an attack on the Sheikh Zaeid Towers in the northern Gaza Strip (al-Quds, May 6, 2019). The PFLP issued a mourning notice for him, indicating he was member of the organization (PFLP website, May 6, 2019). He was detained in Israel during the first intifada. Worked as a security guard in al-Awda Hospital (affiliated with the PFLP) in the northern Gaza Strip."
 
If he was detained during the First Intifada (in the 1980s), he was merely a teenager when he got involved in terrorist activities. This buttresses claims by Israel that Palestinians are raised on a culture of death from the cradle up. This is unconscionable, but the international community insanely blames Israel for the violence.
 
Finally, I would like to give you the name of Maria Ahmed Ramadan al-Ghazali, a four-month-old killed in an Israeli strike. She was put in harm's way by her mother, Iman Abdullah Musa Asraf, an officer in the Hamas security forces!
 
Here in America, we are preparing to celebrate Mother's Day on Sunday. Most of us have wonderful mothers, and we honor them for their sacrifices and love for us. Yet in Gaza, a baby was put in harm's way by her own mother, herself raised on a diet of hatred and death.
 
For those of us who are Christian believers, we can take solace in the fact that little Maria is now free from the grip of the demonic Allah, and now sees the face of the true God.
 
Like many of you, I long for the day when the Messiah will put down all this madness once and for all and usher-in righteousness in all the earth.
 
May it happen today, Lord.
