The Intransigence Of The "Palestinian" Arabs Is the Only Thing That Has Prevented Their Own State, And Now It Is Too Late

The concept that the Arabs living in the West Bank and Gaza deserve autonomy in their own governance, much less a state of their own, was shown on October 7th to be ridiculous. And even after two months of of pummeling by the Israeli military, support for Hamas and their subhuman brand of terrorism is strong. Hamas brought destruction and death upon the people of Gaza, yet they support it! The leadership of Hamas is safely ensconced in Qatar for now, able to spend their billions of dollars (looted from the people of Gaza and the world that wrote the checks) on luxury...and security, because of course the Israeli intelligence services are going to have a say in how long they draw breath.

Giving these people a state is madness. It is the equivalent of allowing Nazi Germany to reconstitute itself in May of 1945, or returning Hideki Tojo to power in September 1945. The West Bank, ruled by the Palestinian Authority, and Gaza, ruled by Hamas, are birds of a feather. There is no substantive difference, other then the propensity for PA officials to wear ties. Both represent a populace that approves...overwhelmingly...of the destruction of the state of Israel and the Jewish people. They are single-minded in their goals, and they inculcate their children with that message. They are a death cult with one thing in mind...killing Jews.

Here is Melanie Phillips eviscerating the widely held belief that a "two state solution" is rational.

The persistent "two-state" delusion

This week, polling results published by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research revealed that no fewer than 82 per cent of Judea and Samaria residents and 72 per cent of Gazans approve of the October 7 pogrom.

If there were an election in the disputed territories, Hamas would win hands down. Support for Hamas in these territories has more than tripled compared to three months ago. In Gaza, such support has also increased. The overwhelming majority in both areas want to see Israel destroyed.

If the Palestinian Arabs are to govern themselves, they must go through the equivalent of the de-Nazification that was carried out in Germany after World War II. That clearly cannot be done by the rejectionist, Jew-hating and despotic PA.


But...in reality it is "de-Islamification," and that is impossible. The attitudes in Gaza and the West Bank did not emerge as a consequence of the re-creation of the state of Israel. An examination of the many pogroms against Jews perpetrated in many Arab states before 1948 suggest that Jew-Hate existed before the "Nakba," as the Arabs call Israeli Independence. And the expansionist goals of Islam, culminating in a global Caliphate are not some myth. Israel and Jews are merely their first target.

So how to cure Gaza and the West Bank of their blood lust? We can't. All we can do is demilitarize the area so there cannot be a repeat of October 7th, and remove the malign influence of UN-sponsored educational systems that actively promote the agenda that led to the savagery of October 7th and before.

Israel is already destroying Hamas and its ability to project terrorism, but the UN and the oh-so-sophisticated 1st world is busily trying to return to the status quo ante bellum; that's what cease fires will lead to.

The "Two State Solution" is dead. The trick is convincing the world that it is better off with a vibrant Israel, complete with world-class technology, liberal democracy, freedom, and most of all respect for human life and humanity.

Because the other side of the coin is a savage 3rd world sh*thole where the law of the jungle prevails, where terrorism in service of a world caliphate is exported, and where tens of billions of dollars from the developed world is stolen to support its despotic rulers.

4 Willowed:

WSJ reports a Hamas tunnel 2.5 miles long, big enough to drive a truck through, ending near the Israel border. Used a tunnel boring machine

"The tunnel’s reinforced cement walls are lined with electrical wiring, making it not just a passageway, but a living space where Hamas fighters can stay underground for a long period. Israel’s military said the tunnel has ventilation and sewage systems, bathrooms, blast doors to prevent entry, multiple branches, communication networks and weapons stored inside.


Hamas executive council meeting:
Achmed's powerpoint presentation: We could spend tens of billions of dollars in international aid to make a better life for our people. We could invest in factories, utilities, beachfront real estate...or we can dig lots of pointless tunnels which the Israelis will inevitably detect and destroy. What to do...what to do.

Naaaaah, just kidding. Let's get started on the tunnels.

5 There are no Palestinians.

Prior to the origins of Zionism there was a small population of Arabs...because they had conquered the land. And of course there were Jews because there had been Jews there since about the origin of recorded history.

Zionism brought money and modern know how to Israel. Which then created a labor market for Muslims - and led them to again try to "colonize" it.

Well, the left tells me endlessly colonialism is wrong so...how about we send every Arab home that can't show their great grandfather liked in the lands that are now Israel?

6 It's amazing how, if you don't watch teevee, or read any of the corporate media sources, this story is sliding off the "front page," so to speak.

It only seems to hit my radar when someone is calling for a cease fire. Much like Ukraine is only on the radar, because the grifter is in the capitol, with his hand out.

I think I'm somewhat representative of a certain segment of the nation, and these "stories" fading into the background is a good thing.

Let the people on the ground finish what they're doing. Let the rest of us keep our opinions to ourselves, because it doesn't really matter. And even by the time the shithole students on various campi come back from Christmas break, they'll be distracted by something else.

You can't do that, either, Dildo. You can't "de-militarize" them. Because if they can't shoot a Jew, they'll stab a Jew. And if they can't get a knife, they'll stone a Jew.

The only thing Israel can do, because they won't and should not push Gaza into the sea, is build a great big beautiful wall and never let another Gazan inside Israel ever again.

Which Israel, up to this point, has never been willing to do. Because Gazan labor is cheap labor. Israel is at a time for choosing. Pick wisely.

They also don't have to worry about the headaches of improving the lives of their people.

12 Muslim Brotherhood ideology. 1928. Hamas is its offshoot. Its founders were members. Right now the two countries who support it are...Qatar and ruling AKP in Turkey. Considered a terrorist organization pretty much everywhere else. Extremist , violent, considers most of the world as apostates. Obama succeeded in installing its member Morsi as Egyptian President. Good thing the Egyptians military overthrew him. Not so in Turkey. Unfortunately. They succeeded in Turkey.

Not unlike our own border, and the argument that Republicans favor open borders for cheap labor, that strikes me as either only part of the answer, or it's not really the answer at all. There's something more going on, and I don't profess to know what it is over there.

What we do know though, is Israel has continued to be very much involved in Gaza, enough so they are the focus of the hatred that comes their way, almost as a convenient boogeyman for the Palis to point to, rather than taking ownership for their own failings.

Israel can't, in the literal sense, "demilitarize Gaza". It would require the elimination of the Gazan people. Because as long as a Gazan has a sharp stick - they will use it to stab a Jew. If they have sand, they will use it to choke a Jew.

Now read this. Does Israel have the will to simply, for once and for all, stop trying to occupy Gaza, or rehabilitate Gaza, and simply create a final - permanent division between Israel and the cheap labor from Gaza ?

We will see.

You see, the woke generation is perfectly fine with genocide — as long as it’s perpetrated against the right people.

66 I think, that given how sketchy the "two-state solution" is to the Arab - Israel situation we here in the states should take heed. It's not likely some sort of variation on that is going to work here either. A so-called "national divorce" or whatever isn't going to work as long as the left is allowed to operate as they have been.

They simply will not abide any sort of conditions set that make it illegal, an act of war or anything else when it comes to making others bend to their will.

As soon as the news that an UNRWA teacher had held and mistreated a hostage broke, it should have been the straw that broke the camel's back to get UNRWA out of Gaza. It probably won't, but Israel should definitely use it as (figurative) ammo against letting UNRWA back in.

From the Times of Israel, originally from the NYT:
https://tinyurl.com/59vds78e

The report detailed documents found on the computer of a senior Hamas official that listed assets around the world worth hundreds of millions of dollars. The papers pointed to Sudanese companies owned by Hamas that dealt in mining, chicken farming and road construction, two skyscrapers owned by the group in the United Arab Emirates and other property-related businesses.
Despite having access to the documents, and a potential path toward cutting off Hamas funds, nothing was done. Both Israel and the US operated under the assumption that Hamas was more interested in ruling the Strip than in conflict with Israel, and focused instead on implementing sanctions against Iran.

“Everyone is talking about failures of intelligence on October 7, but no one is talking about the failure to stop the money,” Udi Levy, formerly head of Mossad’s economic warfare department, told The New York Times. “It’s the money — the money — that allowed this.”

And the expansionist goals of Islam, culminating in a global Caliphate are not some myth. Israel and Jews are merely their first target.

Ever since Islam was invented by some itinerant caravan thief it has been at war with any and every other religion. People who think that it is *only* the Jews need to do some research - I'm not referring to you CBD - but to the 51% of the 18 to 24 year olds in this country with their heads up their ass.

When did Judaism come into existence?

Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen: all know how to die: but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome."

you don't grasp how easily world energy production can be shut down with even a minimal amount of military force.

Without the guarantees of US military protection, literally half of the world's energy supply becomes client states of either China or Iran overnight, because they would have to. (and possibly China and Iran allied) Within months, all of Europe and Africa join that alliance, again because they would have to. South America, not much later. At that point, either America surrenders, or we start the nuclear war we've been afraid of all these decades.

Good point.

My analogy is based on ships. Normally, your ship is the best defense against the sea. But with enough damage, you don't want to go to the nearest land two miles straight down.

Then you deploy the life rafts {as the ship's boats are probably not going to work) and get away from the sinking ship.

227 Western civilization has learned over the centuries that successful democracy requires a separation between Church and State (although that does not mean office holders should not have religious beliefs, far from it)

It does?

The Church of the Nativity is a few miles inside the West Bank territory but just a stone's throw from Jerusalem (if you could throw a stone over the security fence). It used to be quite safe as the PA made too much money on tourism to kill the golden goose. This was 12 years ago; not sure what the situation is now.

Yes, it's PA controlled.

252 86% of Gen Z kids suffer from "menu anxiety," and a not-insignificant number of commenters here also snidely sneer at the idea of fine dining, because they let themselves be cowed once 50 or 60 years ago. It's almost time for those Dutch Uncle holiday dinners, and it's easy to see some of you guys are practicing hard to be the biggest a-hole there.

The oldest "Gen Z" in the world is about 26, by your hoked up fake definition, and the younger ones are 12. Nice to see the mile-niles off the hook at last, as many predicted -- but why don't you lick the venom off your fangs for a few months, and realize that this is a phase people go through, rather like all the phases you yourself have failed to go through?

Bought first house at 23 years of age. While in the process of demolishing the kitchen some religious group knocked on the side door and asked me if my 'parents are home'. I honestly replied, "No" and politely closed the door on them. My wife loves to tell that story. Two years later I sold that home for a profit (adjusted for today's useless dollars of close to two hundred grand).

Way way sounds like one of these useless kids with a keyboard punching away with his/her thumbs.

Instead, I recommend that the world (US esp) must LEAN on the two neighboring arab nations to claim Gaza and parts of the West Bank - meaning Egypt and Jordan. They don't want to and will avoid it in any way they can. Extreme pressure must be brought to bear on them to take these regions and the people living there.
