| The real Palestinians Carole Manny, 7 June 2002 Sirs: Anyone who reads the editorial pages of any newspaper has seen the assertions that Middle East violence could be curbed by Israel's withdrawal to its "original borders" and the return of the occupied land to its rightful owners, the Palestinians. I think that this is an excellent idea. Since the land now known as Palestine was originally called Judea--because it was inhabited by Jews--and since its Roman conquerors changed the name to help them forget that fact, the "Palestinians" are the Jews, and they have always "occupied" it--all of it, including what was originally promised to them by the British Mandate and Balfour Declaration: Israel proper, including Gaza and the West Bank, and the land east of the Jordan River, now known as Jordan. Thanks to British backstabbing, only a tiny scrap of that territory actually became Israel in 1948. The people now referred to as Palestinian Arabs were always a small minority in Judea-cum-Palestine. They were not ousted by the Jews in 1948, but rather encouraged to leave by their Arab brethren who were preparing to invade and conquer the nascent state. The Arabs therefore created the Palestinian Arab refugee problem, and for more than 50 years have refused to integrate those displaced Arabs into their own countries or offer them citizenship. Why? Because manufacturing and then maintaining a refugee population in abject poverty and feeding them hatred is a cheap and effective way to advance your agenda: the total annihilation of Israel. After all, the Arab states comprise a land area that dwarfs Israel's by nearly 600 to 1. The tiny West Bank and Gaza are important to the Arabs only to maintain terrorist bases in Israel's back yard and to advance their "phased plan" for Israel's destruction. Far from giving Gaza and the West Bank to the Arabs, Israel should proudly and aggressively assert its right to that land. |
