Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Arab Kleptocrat Schemes To Keep The People He Represents In Poverty...Or A Day Ending In "Y"I am under no illusions that the current peace plan, version 45A-2, will be any more successful than the previous ones, but it does serve to illuminate a few of the intractable problems in Arab society. Accepting the blatant dishonesty and unbelievable crookedness and corruption of its leaders is a fundamental flaw in their culture, and one that guarantees the continuation of their poverty, internal violence and existential ennui. But that ennui is strangely coupled with an irrational belief that they will prevail, that they are the victors, and it is only the stubbornness of the international community that prevents them from succeeding in their ultimate goal of the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people. Their leaders lie to them about the causes of their desperately miserable lives, and they believe those lies instead of the evidence before them. Abbas threatens to cut security ties with Israel, USPalestinian President Mahmoud Abbas threatened to cut security ties with both Israel and the US on Saturday, in a lengthy speech delivered at an Arab League meeting in Egypt’s capital that denounced a White House plan for ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The US plan would grant the Palestinians limited self-rule in parts of the occupied West Bank, while allowing Israel to annex all its settlements there and keep nearly all of east Jerusalem.Daniel Pipes has not been particularly impressive recently, no doubt in part because of his fundamental suspicion of all things Trump. But he has made the point, forcefully and eloquently that for the "Palestinians" to succeed, they must be beaten, both militarily and psychologically. Only then will they be able to accept the reality that Israel is almost certainly not going to lose to them or to any Arab or Muslim country or army or terrorist organization. Then they can get on with the business of creating something for themselves. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

True, Blazing Saddles and Animal House contain just about all wisdom - or at least snarky appropriate comments - for all of the world's important problems.

When Romans sacked Second Temple and took ,roughly, 250k Israelis back to Rome as slaves, they renamed the area, to wipe out the memory of the people. Romans liked that sort of thing. When Rome fell (shortly after), the area was called many things. But never Palestine. Till USSR decided to be thorn in the side of ...everybody and created this concept of Palestine.
Posted by: runner at February 02, 2020 02:59 PM (zr5Kq) 101
It is an artificial construct. Before USSR decided to conjure up "Palestine", last time that name was used was Roman times. And briefly at that.
Britain had a Palestinian Mandate before WWI and conducted a Palestinian campaign in WWI, both before the USSR existed. What do you care what the people of West Bank and Gaza call themselves? They are not Jordanian. Posted by: Bandersnatch at February 02, 2020 02:59 PM (gd9RK) 102

Palestine was used by the Brits during their colonial period there.
But it's irrelevant. Underlying actual history, not terms, is the point (well, of this part of the taffy yank), and it's true that in that area, as in many many parts of the world prior to colonial presence or the last century, there was little to no "national" feeling or identity in the current sense. When and whether "Palestine" was used is not important, the underlying history is (kinda, though not really the point either). Posted by: rhomboid at February 02, 2020 03:02 PM (El6T/) 108

Bander many of them *were* Jordanian, unhappily so, until '67 and after. Their unhappiness extended to the point of blowing up airliners and attacking Jordanian tribal militias (that didn't last long, poor choice). Many Palestinians objected when Jordanian control was extended over their particular area in past episodes, for the usual reasons (Israelis a much better unwanted presence than the Jordanians).

Why do you people keep saying there is no such thing as Palestine or Palestinians?
There was a place called Palestine where Israel is. There were Arabs there. There are still a lot of Arabs there and two parts of Israel are called Palestine. I'm not saying they're not shitheads, but why the insistence that they be called Jordanians? Posted by: Bandersnatch Historically there was Israel, which the Romans subdued. I believe that after Rome destroyed the temple in 70 AD and banished everyone from the area, they renamed it "Palestine" on their maps. Jews always lived there, even after 70 AD. Come the 20th century, when the Balfour Commission split up the land they gave a slice of land to the Jews to reconstitute Israel, and a large chunk to the Arabs which they called Jordan. The current "Palestinians" are people who lived in the country of Jordan prior to 1967 (the "West Bank", which is actually the ancient Jewish areas of Samaria and Judea) who were displaced during the 1967 Six Day War. They have been renamed "Palestinians" by the Arabs, but they are citizens of the country of Jordan who've been displaced because their country Jordan lost a war against Israel. Same with the "Palestinians" who live in the Gaza Strip. They are Egyptian citizens who were displaced from their homes when Egypt lost against Israel in 1967. The other Arab countries keep them trapped in refugee camps breeding like rabbits as a weapon against Israel. Posted by: Sharkman at February 02, 2020 03:06 PM (ltIz7) 124

Why do you people keep saying there is no such thing as Palestine
--- 'We people' keep saying that there is no country and has never been any country called Palestine for anyone to legitimately claim as a homeland that they have any right to return to. Mainly because a lot of stupid people seem to think the savages that call themselves palestinians have 'legitimate grievances' that need to be considered so that we can all get along, or some such nonsense. Just like anyone claiming grievances these days in order to wring concessions from free people, the correct response is to crush them utterly so that they abandon their crybully ways. === I'm not saying they're not shitheads, but why the insistence that they be called Jordanians? --- Folks in the west bank were Jordanians when Jordan had a war with Israel and lost the territory. Folks in Gaza were Egyptians when Egypt similarly came up short in their effort to destroy Israel. So Jordanian and Egyptian or more appropriate terms for them than 'palestinian' even if Jordan and Egypt have no interest in taking them back.

Sharkman, exactly. Used to have a favorite learning device when on occasion encountering this idiotic idea that losers of wars of aggression and even annihilation that *they* started somehow get equal say in all post-war matters, including security and territory.
Have you tried to travel around Okinawa (this worked better 30 years ago)? Oh, right, it's complicated .... because so much of it is *fucking US military reservation*, seized in a brutal war started by the idiots who LOST". Have you ever visited Bolivia's Pacific coastal area? Oh right, you can't - because they *fucking lost it in a war they started, and lost*. Have you ever visited ..... and so on. Unsurprisingly, a large % of "educated, smart" people, when confronted with this basic obvious history and recounting of facts, are stunned into silence. Because they're not "educated", or "smart", in areas in which they have very strong "opinions". Posted by: rhomboid at February 02, 2020 03:27 PM (El6T/) 202

Actually, the idiot just raised a topic, unintentionally, worth noting. Congressional support for Israel is unbelievably lower than any time in recent history. Something like 130 House members signed on to something that was unimaginable just a few years back (forget the specifics). Anyway, Israel's not asleep at the switch and knows its former solid support in the Dem party has disappeared - and that American Jewry is a shadow of its former self in terms of reliability or sense - and hopefully this has only further pushed the wise course of hedging and planning on self-sufficiency in key areas.

Actually the "plan" is a nice LOLGF to the Palestinians, obviously richly deserved. Compare to Oslo or almost any other "plan" that got as far as formal promulgation by a "big power".

1) Make some statement hostile to Israel/Jews. The odd thing about this one is they may have a valid point for discussion, like aid or something re Israel. However it is always couched in almost a form way that is recognizable and raises the hackles. 2) Someone calls them out or actually argues the question they made. 3,4,5) escalation of, not the argument, but anti-semitic shit. 6) Hitler should have finished the job.

Posted by: JoeF. at February 02, 2020 03:38 PM (CqE5x) I recall a few years back one scientist decided to do a widespread study of the Lebanese to see if he could pin down their ancestry. And his results were not surprising; he found genetic markers from Mesopotamia, from North Africa, from Greece, from Italy, from the Normans, and from the Franks - basically anybody who ever in history had an army campaigning around the Mediterranean left some of their people (or at least their children) behind in Lebanon, and the Lebanese are the sum total of all of them mixed together.

Another Druze woman I know has been involved in a decades long fight to recover her expropriated parcel of Lebanese land. The Shi'a judge finally ruled she could keep 40 per cent of it, however when the Shi'a neighbors discovered the property was now owned by a Druze woman, they lobbied the local govt. to have the parcel zoned agricultural so she couldn't get rich off it.

Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump Many of the ads you are watching were paid for by Mini Mike Bloomberg. He is going nowhere, just wasting his money, but he is getting the DNC to rig the election against Crazy Bernie, something they wouldn't do for @CoryBooker and others. They are doing it to Bernie again, 2016. Mini Mike is now negotiating both to get on the Democrat Primary debate stage, and to have the right to stand on boxes, or a lift, during the debates. This is sometimes done, but really not fair! - Bloomberg campaign spokesperson Julie Wood responding to the Trump comment: "The president is lying.
