American Delegation Visits Israel About Embassy

 

United States delegation led by Congressman Ron DeSantis (R-FL) visited Israel this past Saturday and Sunday and has studied the possibility of placing the United States Embassy in Jerusalem. In the past, Palestinian and Jordanian leaders have warned moving the embassy could spark violence in Israel, the Palestinian territories and the Middle East region as a whole. We posit the question of how one would be able to find this any different than the current situation. Obviously there would be little if any noticeable effect on Syria, Yemen, Iraq, the Sinai or even Turkey which has had a number of large terrorist bombings in the past few months. In Israel and the Palestinian Authority ruled areas it runs hot and cold on the levels of terror all depending on the signals they get from the ruling media. When Abbas takes to the airwaves and claims that he cannot control the uprising which is solely the expression of the desperation of the people oppressed by Israel, they know that this means it is time to rise up and try to kill Israelis by any means available. Then whatever means they find, stabbings or ramming with vehicles become the name for that Intifada which was how the last Intifada was called the Stabbing Intifada. The Palestinians decided by personalizing their uprisings instead of numbering them they would not be drawing attention to their nearly constant level of violence. Though Israeli defensive measures brought the level of stabbings down measurably, we still have the vehicular assaults as proven by the recent truck attack in Jerusalem. The reality is that the threat of added violence is exactly that, a threat. There will be no change in the levels of violence, especially in Jordan where their militarized law enforcement will not tolerate even peaceful demonstrations, let along any violence. Should Mahmoud Abbas decide to elevate the levels of violence and terrorism against Israel, then Israel will find the solution and implement one as rapidly as possible. That would be an Israeli problem and should have little effect upon the American decision to locate their embassy in the Israeli Capital City of Jerusalem. Israel promises that your embassy will be safe and guarded equally in Jerusalem as it has been in Tel Aviv and those guarding it will feel a small measure of greater pride guarding it in Jerusalem, trust us.

 

United States Embassy Tel Aviv, Israel

 

But it will cost the United States status in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) as the Arab and Muslim worlds react to the move. Well, allow us here in Israel to give you a little insight. You already lost that little edge you are so afraid of losing just by bringing up the subject for debate. Further, the level of loss will continue to increase for as long as the debate continues. Now there are two means of ending the sliding effect of the United States in the MENA world’s view, either by moving the embassy or declining to move the embassy and announcing that you are fearful of moving the embassy. Oh, you claim that fear would not be the reason; it would be so as to respect the feelings of the nations who have stated their opposition. Really, you think that works? Here is the reality, should you decide not to move the embassy then whatever amount of respect you believe you had lost in the MENA world would instantly be surpassed immeasurably. By not moving the embassy you signal now that you can be bullied by the nations of MENA simply claiming that your intended act would hurt their feelings and you have no stomach for any disagreement, let alone an actual fight. You claim you really want to not lose any respect from the MENA nations by moving the embassy but the truth is to regain everything that they claim you are and will be losing by moving the embassy and gain measurable amounts of extra credit for making the correct choice, then simply move the embassy because ignoring threats and saying what you believe and then acting on it counts for everything in the MENA world.

 

What you need to learn if you do not yet understand the MENA world is that everything is a threat and every threat is a bluff. The only thing which gains you respect is calling everyone else’s bluff. When you call their bluff, then they need to decide whether going through with their threats is worth what it may cost in the future and if they back down, how they can mitigate their timidity. Their reaction to your not moving the embassy is pocketing the knowledge that if their world threatens violence then the American back down. This will only serve to make their actions towards the United States as cowardly and able to be scared by threats of violence. Once you decide to move the embassy, the ones who threatened you will influence others from their world to join in making greater threats hoping to still make the United States back down. The announcement that you will move the embassy threatens their image of the United States as a nation which can be backed down with simply threats as that has happened ever since the first announcement for moving the embassy in the 1990’s. These threats will continue and grow or lessen according to the believed potential for the United States to move the embassy. Remember that a certain level of violence equal to the ability of the terrorist organizations to penetrate the security and intelligence of the United States exists at all times. Their efforts increase whenever the United States either acts against the terror interests or when the United States announces plans that those controlling the terror interests wish to prevent.

 

 

There is but one means to remove the threat level over moving the embassy to Jerusalem once and for all, move the embassy. Do not even announce the move, simply in secret in concert with the least number of Israeli departments and individuals as the less number of people knowing of the plans, the less the possibility for any leaking of the plan. It should be possible for the United States to build an embassy building using security approved construction personnel from the United States who can hold to a cover story. Make the building being constructed be referred to as a new office building from where a series of headquarters of American companies will be operating. This would qualify for why a building is being built by American workers in the center of the modern downtown of central west Jerusalem. Then once the building is completed and everything is readied for operations, the grand opening can reveal the new name which will appear on the outside of the building which has been covered since it was first mounted. The cover comes off and it states “United States Embassy” and then be ready for about ten to twelve weeks of screaming and shoe throwing. Place additional Marines around every MENA embassy and meet the reaction head on. Once the MENA nations and groups have vented sufficiently to make their chest beating need be satisfied they will quiet back to normal, which is not all that quiet as the NSA, CIA, Military Intelligence and other data gathering agencies can tell you and back it with evidence in spades. Then everything can return to its nominal level, not its normal level as nothing about the MENA nations of the world can be deemed normal, so nominal will have to suffice.

 

Imagined New Style for United States Embassy in Jerusalem, Israel

 

Further, the embassy will be in Jerusalem, West Jerusalem but still Jerusalem, and that will set a precedent for other nations and it will remove the claims from some out of the MENA world who claim that all of Jerusalem belongs to Islam and that neither the Jews nor the Christians have any rights, claims or history to or from Jerusalem and that neither Jews or Christians ever held Jerusalem because before Islam conquered Jerusalem it had no previous history because everything in Islam begins and ends with Islam and no other existence holds even the level of fancy as far as the Muslims are concerned. Moses, not a Jew, Noah, well, he really was not a Jew, Abraham, not a Jew, Isaak was never taken for sacrifice on Mount Moriah because that was Ishmael just as the Koran says and the Hebrew Bible is a misrepresentation because Judaism made up everything because only the Quran is true and the Christian Bible is also just a pack of lies and misrepresentations also because only the Quran tells truths and Jesus was an Islamic prophet, nothing more. Jesus will play a role in the end times according to the Quran. Jesus will return as a prophet readying the world for the return of the true final prophet of Allah, Jesus will return and make the world suitable for Muhammad who will come and lead the world into the age of perfection Islamic style. With this as the prescription for our future according to the Quran and Islam, what possibly could be the terrible consequence for moving an embassy to the Israeli capital city? Face it, there is nothing to fear but prolonging the agony by continuing the debate as the law declared the embassy move into law and all any President can do is prolong the agony so why not go for the ecstasy and just move the embassy to Jerusalem and get ‘er done!.

Mahmoud Abbas Makes Peace Impossible

 

The world loves to claim that Mahmoud Abbas is Israel’s best prospect for peace. The shocker is that we agree with that statement and claim that this makes peace impossible. What people do not realize is that Mahmoud Abbas is Israel’s savior from its own mistakes. More than once Prime Minister Netanyahu has agreed to make sacrifices for peace which would have very possibly mortally wounded Israel. Had these offers been accepted the Arabs would have been able to fire rockets directly into Tel Aviv using line of sight aiming which would have crippled all economic life and life in general for the majority of Israelis. But Israel has a strange savior because Hashem works in strange and mysterious ways and often with a sense of irony thrown in just for amusement sake. That savior is the man who cannot afford to accept any peace because doing so would cost him everything. That man is Mahmoud Abbas and he knows the minute that he makes peace with Israel and the IDF and Israeli security personnel withdraw from Judea and Samaria that his life would not be insurable with Lloyd’s of London at any price, and they have an odds price on virtually anything. Once Abbas makes a peace with Israel he would be wise to leave before Hamas makes their move as the result will be identical to the fight over Gaza except this time those Hamas does not like will have nowhere to run. Abbas knows his name tops that list and that only the IDF and Israeli security forces stand between Hamas and his neck, thus he will never make peace. Still, he is Israel’s best chance for peace as there is no other and that is the sole reason, and the world knows this as well.

 

Then why does the world, especially the European Union and the United Nations insist that Israel make sacrifices to bring Mahmoud Abbas to the negotiating table? They do this for two reasons; first because they want to compromise Israel, and second because they know Abbas will never make peace thus they can make Israel destroy itself safely and without getting their hands dirty. Their plan is to shrink Israel piece by piece which is funny as that is also the Arab plan for the destruction of Israel, by stages peace by peace. Prime Minister Netanyahu also knows the truth about Abbas and his delicate predicament and that Abbas is happy with things just the way they are. You need to understand that Mahmoud Abbas has another interest in keeping everything just as they are because the European Union and the United Nations plus certain European nations along with the United States continue sending millions of dollars atop millions of dollars annually from which Abbas and select groups amongst the Palestinian Authority (PA) leadership and PLO hierarchy, of which Mahmoud Abbas is the top person in each, are taking their generous share off the top making themselves unbelievably wealthy. Abbas is not about to kill the geese which continue laying golden eggs for him and with whose gold he uses to retain loyalty and stays alive. These are the realities and everybody involved is quite content with the status quo, well, except for Netanyahu and the majority of Israelis, and that brings us to other realities we all know are real and true.

 

This is where International Law enters the picture and the realities of treaties, conventions, mandates, charters and hard facts come in. What all of these do is paint a picture of another reality which Abbas knows as does everybody else who is playing the music that they are all dancing to. The truth is that all the lands between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea belongs to Israel and will remain Israeli unless Israel signs treaties giving the land away. That is how they stole Gaza and Israel learned a hard lesson there. Israel also knows that should they ever again be forced to fight and gain territory, not to return it but to exercise the law of nations that allows that lands gained in a defensive war may be retained by the aggrieved nation. This lesson was the lesson of southern Lebanon where once Israel returned the lands taken in the war with Hezballah they returned in force and now that area has approximately one-hundred-fifty-thousand rockets and missiles aimed at every target imaginable throughout all of Israel all the way down to Eilat at the southernmost tip of the country. Israel has learned that every inch of land which she allows to be given to her enemies, be it Israeli lands or those gained in defensive struggles, are immediately taken by the terrorist enemies and become a launching pad for future wars and terrorist raids and continuous threat for more death and destruction. Yet this is exactly what the world demands that Israel concedes to, giving lands to those who will immediately utilize it as a staging ground for the eventual destruction of the Jewish State. But fortunately Mahmoud Abbas must refuse any offer no matter how generous as he proved when offered over ninety percent of Judea and Samaria, half of Jerusalem including the Old City and Temple Mount, and lands from within the Green Line equal to the lands retained from Judea and Samaria. This offer was refused twice, one when offered by Ehud Barak in 2000 and again in 2008 offered by Ehud Olmert. Perhaps Israel should be wary of any leader named Ehud in the future, especially Barak and Olmert.

 

Israel has a world seemingly hungry for her to sacrifice pieces of her ancient homelands and half her Capital City of Jerusalem and much of the historic lands of the Bible. Places that Christian and Jews hold sacred, Biblical Places, such as Bethlehem, Jericho, Hevron, Bethel and numerous others. They would demand that the Temple Mount be made Islamic only grounds where they would picnic and play soccer while Jews and Christians would be denied to come to their precious lands. These are the demands the world makes and then relies on Mahmoud Abbas to refuse any offerings so they can claim they are the ones standing for peace if only Israel would satisfy the Arab demands. We are back to the fact that everybody on all sides are familiar with the Arab demands and that they will only accept the Jews living under Arab rule begging for each day and praying that it not be their last. The Arabs cannot allow Israel to exist because their pride is challenged as the area once was theirs. They have the same problem with the lands of Andalusia, what we recognize today as Spain and Portugal. They also believe that the lands all the way to the gates of Vienna should be returned to them as the Ottomans twice extended their reach to the gates of that city. The Europeans also know that Israel is like the plug in the bottle and without Israel they stand even more vulnerable than they presently find themselves, and that brings us to the final story.

 

Biblical Israel a Historic and Accurate View

 

Europe and the remainder of the free world and developed world are facing the same threat as Israel, Islamic terrorism. The United States has taken a partial step in preventing further infiltration, though it is currently being debated in the courts, briefly, as the restraints on immigration will stand the test. Europe has been open to infiltration and has reaped their just rewards and the people have begun to stir in a number of nations. The terrorism threat has reared its ugliness throughout much of Europe but media and the current leaders are doing all they can to downplay these incidents. Many Europeans feel betrayed by their leadership which has these leaders worried as facing their public come next elections. Some are proposing an administration which would control the media acting as a Ministry of Truth. Their quoted intention was to prevent “fake news” and to act as fact checkers, but the facts they check could be to further their power or at least try to protect them until after the next elections. The left realizes that they have backed themselves into a corner and the troubles the people have realized is being placed at their doorstep. BREXIT and the election in the United States of Donald Trump as President and a Republican Congress have sent shivers through the entire left-wing political hierarchy which has completely controlled Europe for over a decade. Now they feel threatened and still have not realized why the people are displeased. The next set of elections in Europe might bring about a seismic shift in the political alignment of the continent. The real question is to how long the populations will remain engaged and retain a more measured and conservative leadership in power. The balance is precariously balanced and unless the people remain vigilant then one more round where the left gains control of the Western nations there may be no road back. Should that become the reality then the Tytler Cycle of Power will advance and history teaches us that the cycle will not return to freedom for generations. The next decade or two will be determinative in the future we hand our children and their children for too many generations to be contemplated.

False Flag Refugees, Deceits and Protests

 

Palestine, what is in a name? In that name is the greatest deceit in modern history, if not all history. What makes this deceit all the more malicious is the simple fact that everybody using or referencing this deceit are complicit in perpetuating the deceit. There may be a select ignorant few making up less than a single percentage point of the protesters throughout the world. Even the hordes of college youth caught up in the anti-Israel falsely identified pro-Palestinian demonstrations across the campuses of the developed world; certainly they are not all aware of the deceit. Well, actually, except for that single percent that are likely too simple to understand the difference between lies and truths, these protesters are also familiar with the deceit. They know that every time they chant, “From the river to the sea, Palestine must be free,” they are not calling for any compromise; they are calling for the annihilation of Israel and her Jewish People. They support the PA as well as Hamas and their demand that the lands they hold be completely cleansed of any Jews and that their end promise is to rid the entire world of any Jewish trace. They will claim that this is not the case and claim that Hamas and the Arab Palestinians do not desire every Jew on Earth be executed, but they also know that in saying this they are simply repeating the big lie. The one rule they all stand by is that the Arabs are the aggrieved party who have no homelands and the Jews are invaders who have never resided in the Holy Lands. For them to believe that this is true they would need have grown up without having any knowledge of the Bible, both Old Testament and the New Testament. Further, they would have to be completely ignorant of the person referred to as Jesus Christ, Jesus of Nazareth and pretend they did not know he was a Jew who lived in Nazareth, was born in Bethlehem or preached in Jerusalem. Anyone raised in the Western World making such a claim is, pardon our bluntness, a lying piece of work beyond rescue or salvation.

 

But today being anti-Israel, and further, anti-Zionist while chanting support for the wretched and oppressed Arab Palestinians even if it demands no small amount of additional anti-Semitism is all part of an active social acceptance and the avenue to future opportunities including entry into many of the most elite political groups including but not limited to Black Lives Matter (BLM), the 99%, Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER), Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Friends of Sabeel-North America (FOSNA), If Americans Knew (IAK), International Solidarity Movement (ISM), Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), Muslim American Society (MAS), Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation (USCEIO), Electronic Intifada, US Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel, General Union of Palestinian Students (GUPS) and the Boycott Divestment and Sanction Movement (BDS). The leadership of many of these organizations are located in the Middle East or even originated in the Middle East such as the BDS Movement which began as the Arab countries boycotts of Israel and that was taken global under direct administration by the Palestinian Authority which also initially funded the BDS Movement just as they work and fund the ISM movement which has collaborated with Hamas in efforts to counter Israeli actions even to the point of transferring weapons and terrorist fighters in their vehicles which carried neutrality markings to prevent their being targeted by the Israelis. The side-effect of these often concerted efforts to vilify Israel and work for her destruction has been the targeting of Jews on some of the most active campuses. Some of the activities carried out by these groups actually intentionally target the Jewish students with one type of harassment being fake eviction notices meant to force the Jewish students feel the same panic and threat felt by the families of convicted terrorist murderers whose homes are destroyed. Then the Jewish students are often targeted with the false checkpoint protests and false arrest protests where the aim is to make the Jewish students’ lives feel as if they are now the terrorists or presumably Arab Israelis.

 

Anti-Israel Protests

 

The problem is that Arab Israelis face exactly the same type of security protocols and inconveniences as any other Israeli including the Israeli Jews and the vast majority of Arab Palestinians never need cross a checkpoint as their lives are lived entirely within the areas governed by the Palestinian Authority and the Palestinian Arabs residing in Gaza only face a checkpoint when entering Israel. The fact that Arab Palestinians face checkpoints actually is normal for any person crossing from one nation into another in the Middle East and most other places worldwide with the exception of within the European Union providing one has a European Union or other European recognized identity card. The Arab Palestinian resides either in Gaza under Hamas or within the Palestinian Authority regions and only when crossing into Israel or Israeli areas are they subjected to checkpoints and in many locations Arab Palestinians are able to cross into Israel without facing any checkpoint which is what should be seen as the exceptional instance, not having to cross through a checkpoint when leaving the semi-autonomous regions of the Palestinian Authority governance into Israel or to cross from Hamas ruled Gaza into Israel. What is next, protests that the fighters in Syria are met at the border by the IDF when they are taken by Israel and treated for their injuries with no questions asked. Then I guess we should not tell you that once these injured “Syrians” are stabilized, they are returned to Syria and not granted an apartment in Tel Aviv and Israeli citizenship. Israel even has checkpoints for Egyptians, Jordanians, Lebanese and even Americans flying into Ben Gurion International Airport. Imagine that.

 

Palestinian Refugees are another false flag as they are dissimilar from every other recognized refugee group recognized by the United Nations. While all other refugees are handled through the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) which works to resettle refugees in neighboring nations or throughout the world in rare instances such as the current Syria crisis where the neighboring countries and related Arab nations are refusing or claiming inability to absorb refugees. Some claim that this refusal is being coordinated in order to infiltrate the western world with an inundation of Islamic refugees and possibly mixing in a select set of terror organizers and other terror facilitators and collaborators. But even with over half a century the Arab Palestinian refugees have not only never been resettled, but have grown from under three-quarters of a million to somewhere over five million with some claiming over six million. This is due to their agency, United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) is coordinated and structured in such a manner as to propagate the refugee situation and purposely invigorate and aggravate it. In this end they pass the refugee status from one generation to the next thus far ad infinitum. No other similar situation exists or ever has existed throughout history. This situation can only be performed in this manner in order to exacerbate an existing problem making it worse over time. The only reason for such treatment, more mistreatment, of these refugees is to use as a weapon to berate and eventually inundate Israel with these refugees destroying its Jewish majority and destroying the Jewish State by refugee. This mistreatment and denigration of the human spirit in a people is nothing short of inhuman and the real sorrow is that these refugees are being held in camps by their own people, fellow Arabs. These refugee camps even exist within areas under Palestinian Arab control as well as in Gaza under Hamas rule. In Syria they became double refugees and Bashir al-Assad dropped barrel bombs and used chemical agents on the two largest refugee camps fearful that they would rise against him. These camps contain entire families most with numerous children but the Syrians simply wanted them dead instead of continuing to feed and care for them. That is the attitude of many other nations who have these camps and if not for their threat to Israel, these people would be treated better by their own people.

 

There never was any nation called Palestine. There have never been a Palestinian people throughout history. The Arabs claiming to be Palestinians simply needed to have resided in the British Mandate for two years, or claim to have been there for two years, in 1948 to be granted status as a Palestinian as the British were doing everything in their power to increase the numbers of Arabs, including shipping them in themselves, while refusing to allow the Jews from Europe entry into the state of Israel. Then there are the forgotten refugees. These were the over eight-hundred-thousand Jews directly evicted or driven from their Arab homelands where many the family had been residing there for over a thousand years, two thousand for some in Egypt, and were sent packing mostly to Israel as European nations, Canada, Australia and the United States refused to accept any of these Jewish refugees unless they had relatives willing to prove they could support them. This sent the vast majority of the Jews to Israel where today they make up approximately half the population. There are also Jewish refugees taken in from Ethiopia as well as India and anywhere in the world where Jews face a hostile environment. The true refugees from the Arab world, the only refugees who would never be permitted to return to their former homes, the Jews from the Arab world of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) have been completely accepted into Israeli society and as time passes and the European and MENA Jews as well as all others intermarry, there will be no distinguishing them one from the other. How do I know, because my mother’s family was from Iraq and my father’s was from England; I am one of those Jews with a foot in each continent and it showed in my upbringing.
