| A Lesson for The West Ron Myers 26 Sep 2001 In November 1947, the United Nations met to consider continuing attacks against Jews by Arabs in Mandatory Palestine. The result was the Partition Plan establishing a Jewish state in the Land of Israel wherein the Jews could be responsible for their own security. The Plan also addressed the contentious issue of Jerusalem, making it a corpus seperatum under a U.N. governor. This is the law as invoked by the U.N., although, lacking enforcement, the Arab states were given a free hand by the International Community to destroy Israel. American support has always stayed with this context; that Israel has international legitimacy and the right to exist in peace. While anti-Zionist positions may reflect ignorance, the perception among Israelis is that these remarks constitute appeasement and legitimise Arab Rejectionism ? the source of terrorism. The Palestine Liberation Organisation was formed in 1964 ? three years before the face of the occupation changed from Egyptian/Jordanian occupation of Palestinian lands to the lawful entry of the Israelis ? an act of self-defence under International Law. Israelis held the territories hoping to exchange lands-for-peace (an Israeli position). Arab Rejectionism, however, prevented any such deal and at Khartoum in the Sudan in the early '70's, the infamous "three-no's" were conceived; no recognition of Israel, no negotiations, and no peace. This strategy was replaced in the mid '80's by the PLO's strategy of phased conflict; i.e. That which could be gained by diplomacy would be, and the final push for the destruction of Israel would come when the West was less inclined to support Israel's right to exist. The source of Arab terror is Rejection of Israel, and appeasement only aids the Rejectionists (terrorists). No body has been better at appeasement than the U.N. We have a PLO mission to the U.N. We have PLO embassies all over the world. Who says terrorism doesn't pay? With a little help like that of Mr Straw in Tehran, the propaganda campaign against Israel is frighteningly close to success. The naןvetי of the media is also not helpful to the cause of Truth and Justice ? essential prerequisites to PEACE. The Editor of Al-Quds in London is the latest spokesman for Rejectionism. With no embarrassment or correction by the newsreaders, he is able to tell the world that "Israeli Terrorism" is the problem. Israeli terror? You must be joking! Israel has absorbed 90% of all terrorist activities in the world and yet has to listen "quietly" to these appalling lies. It's a terrible shame that the media isn't capable of discerning that they are being used as pawns in the propaganda campaign waged by Rejectionists. At the U.N., terrorist-supporting Syria is in line for a seat on the Security Council; Israel, due to the apartheid nature of the U.N., is not even eligible. The Red Crescent is recognised internationally alongside the Red Cross, but the Red Star of David is not. Why must Israel be content with being a second-class state among the "family" of nations? Israelis are victimised by Arab Rejectionism, Western Appeasement and International Apartheid. But further, they are victimised again when they are the ones accused of all these same wrongs (witness U.N. Conference on Racism). Palestinians are victims without a doubt. The debate however is over "victims of whom?" 1948 they are victims of Arab demands to leave their homes so that Israel can be more easily destroyed. 1948-1967 they are victims of Egyptian and Jordanian occupation of their lands, and the further radicalisation of Rejectionism. 1967 they are victims of Arab aggression against Israel and Israel's necessary self-defence. 1970's they are victims of the Khartoum Conference. They are victims of the 1973 Arab aggression against Israel. Today they are still victims ? hostages to Arab Rejectionism. Why must disinformation prevail? Why is the pressure on Israel to make concessions, when it is Rejectionism, which must be consigned to history? If Truth is a requisite to Justice and Justice is a requisite to Peace, then doesn't it follow that Truth in history is essential to Peace? Otherwise it remains the same Jewish History as we've all known ? the victim is blamed for his own victimisation. Specific Action: let's work for to repeal the U.N. resolution that condemned Israel for the attack on the Iraqi reactor in 1981 (as a start!). Ron Myers |
