March on Jerusalem, March 30, 2012
A group of Palestinians and their fellow travellers, estimated to be in the thousands, are planning to meet on the borders of Israel on March 30th to march to Jerusalem. In Canada a supportive protest by Palestinian House and other pro-Palestinian groups will be held on Friday March 30th outside the Israeli consulate. It is a protest against the Judaisation of Jerusalem. The Global March to Jerusalem North America web site describes the objective of the march as to “Join thousands of Palestinians and supporters from all over the world who will be marching on March 30, 2012 to oppose Israel apartheid and ethnic-cleansing, to demand access to Jerusalem for all peoples, and to uphold Palestinian rights under international law, including refugees’ ”right of return.”
These stated objectives include opposing Israel apartheid and ethnic cleansing. Gaza has implemented ethnic cleansing and apartheid of Jews. Israel has done neither to its Arab citizens. The Palestinians have never had a city for all peoples. Cities under Palestinian rule have always excluded Jews. International law, by the San Remo Conference, says that Judea and Samaria (the West Bank of the Jordan) belong to Israel, not to the Palestinians. Most importantly a right of return for all Palestinian refugees and their descendants would destroy the Jewish nature of Israel.
It is to be noted that
1. Any mass attempt to cross Israel’s borders is a show of strength and hostile aggression. In no way should it be considered a peace march or a protest march.
2. Palestinians, especially women and children, will die. This is intentional
and necessary for Palestinian propaganda purposes.
3. Reporters will get most of their information from the Palestinians
4. Palestinian ambulances will carry weapons and otherwise help in inappropriate
ways.
Here is an imagined copy of the Reuters report on the March 30th 2012 march on Jerusalem.
It doesn’t really matter that the event has not occurred. Similar events have occurred
so many times that the Reuters reporting and the actions of the Palestinians and
the Israelis are quite predictable. The march will be described as a protest, not as an organized attempt to annex or destroy the Jewish areas of Jerusalem. If Israel fails to stop Hamas’ hordes from entering Israel it will be a first step in an attempt to overthrow the Jewish State of Israel.
The Reuters “Report”
On the evening of Thursday March 30th Palestinians began lining up at the Israeli
Border in the Egyptian Sinai. They waved Palestinian flags and had signs reading
“Jerusalem is ours.”, “We hate the State of Israel.” and “jihad to Jerusalem”. Generally the mood was happy, like people out for a picnic. By morning protesters had reached the Israeli border. The brash and heartless Israeli soldiers ordered them to stop and then fired indiscriminately into the crowd, injuring many and killing three young women and a schoolboy of 14. Onlookers were heard to cry – “Murderers”, “How can they kill women and children?”, and “We want revenge.”
It is estimated that 50 people were injured in the massacre. Judge Judy Cohen of New York said that Israel had used excessive force and that the circumstances did not call for
Israel to use live ammunition. Israel apologized for the personal damage and agreed to pay compensation to the victims. The U.N. Human Rights Commission will be holding meetings on the matter and calling for sanctions against Israel.

Who are the Palestinians by Ettinger
Who are the Palestinians?
Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger, "Second Thought”
"Israel Hayom” Newsletter, December 14, 2011
http://bit.ly/up8bJm
Contrary to political correctness, Palestinian Arabs have not been in the area west of the Jordan River from time immemorial; no Palestinian state ever existed, no Palestinian People was ever robbed of its land and there is no basis for the Palestinian "claim of return.”
Most Palestinian Arabs are descendants of the 1845-1947 Muslim migrants from the Sudan, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, as well as from Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Yemen, Libya, Morocco, Bosnia, the Caucasus, Turkmenistan, Kurdistan, India, Afghanistan and Balochistan.
Arab migrant workers were imported by the Ottoman Empire and by the British Mandate (which defeated the Ottomans in 1917) for infrastructure projects: The port of Haifa, the Haifa-Qantara, Haifa-Edrei, Haifa-Nablus and Jerusalem-Jaffa railroads, military installations, roads, quarries, reclamation of wetlands, etc. Illegal Arab laborers were also attracted by the relative economic boom, stimulated by Jewish immigration.
According to a 1937 report by the British Peel Commission (Palestine Betrayed, Prof. Efraim Karsh, Yale University Press, 2010, p. 12), "The increase in the Arab population is most marked in urban areas, affected by Jewish development. A comparison of the census returns in 1922 and 1931 shows that, six years ago, the increase percent in Haifa was 86, in Jaffa 62, in Jerusalem 37, while in purely Arab towns such as Nab lus and Hebron it was only 7, and at Gaza there was a decrease of 2 percent.”
As a result of the substantial 1880-1947Arab immigration – and despite Arab emigration caused by domestic chaos and intra-Arab violence - the Arab population of Jaffa, Haifa and Ramla grew 17, 12 and 5 times.
The (1831-1840) conquest, by Egypt's Mohammed Ali, was solidified by a flow of Egyptian migrants settling empty spaces between Gaza and Tul-Karem up to the Hula Valley. They followed in the footsteps of thousands of Egyptian draft dodgers, who fled Egypt before 1831 and settled in Acre. The British traveler, H.B. Tristram, identified, in his 1865 The Land of Israel: a journal of travels in Palestine (p. 495), Egypti an migrants in the Beit-Shean Valley, Acre, Hadera, Netanya and Jaffa.
The British Palestine Exploration Fund documented that Egyptian neighborhoods proliferated in the Jaffa area: Saknet el-Mussariya, Abu Kebir, Abu Derwish, Sumeil, Sheikh Muwanis, Salame', Fejja, etc. In 1917, the Arabs of Jaffa represented at least 25 nationalities, including Persians, Afghanis, Hindus and Balochis. Hundreds of Egyptian families settled in Ara' Arara', Kafer Qassem, Taiyiba and Qalansawa.
Many of the Arabs who fled in 1948, reunited with their families in Egypt and other neighboring countries.
"30,000-36,000 Syrian migrants (Huranis) entered Palestine during the last few months alone" reported "La Syrie" daily on August 12, 1934. Az-ed-Din el-Qassam, the role-model of Hamas terrorism, which terrorized Jews in British Mandate Palestine, was Syrian, as were Said el-A'az, a leader of the 1936-38 anti-Jewish pogroms and Kaukji, the commander-in-chief of the Arab mercenaries terrorizing Jews in the 1930s and 1940s.
Libyan migrants settled in Gedera, south of Tel Aviv. Algerian refugees (Mugrabis) escaped the French conquest of 1830 and settled in Safed (alongside Syrians and Jordanian Bedouins), Tiberias and other parts of the Galilee. Circassian refugees, fleeing Russian oppression (1878) and Moslems from Bosnia, Turkmenistan, and Yemen (1908) diversified the Arab demography west of the Jordan River.
Mark Twain wrote in Innocents Abroad (American Publishing Company, 1969): "Of all the lands there are for dismal scenery, Palestine must be the prince…. Palestine is desolate and unlovely.” Analyzing Mark Twain's book, John Haynes Holmes, the pacifist Unitarian priest, the co-founder of the American Civil Liberties Union and the author of Palestine Today and Tomorrow – a Gentile's Survey of Zionis m (McMillan, 1929) wrote: "This is the country to which the Jews have come to rebuild their ancient homeland…. On all the surface of this earth there is no home for the Jew save in the mountains and the well-springs of his ancient kingdom…. Everywhere else the Jews is in exile…. But, Palestine is his…. Scratch Palestine anywhere and you'll find Israel…. There is not a spot which is not stamped with the footprint of some ancient [Jewish] tribesman…. Not a road, a spring, a mountain, a village, which does not awaken the name of some great [Jewish] king, or echo with the voice of some great [Jewish] prophet…. [The Jew] has a higher, nobler motive in Palestine than the economic…. This mission is to restore Zion; and Zion is Palestine.”
The Arab attempt to gain the moral high ground and to delegitimize the Jewish State - by employing the immoral reinvention of history and recreation of identity - was exposed by Arieh Avneri's The Claim of Dispossession (Herzl Press, 1982) and Joan Peters' From Time Immemorial (Harper & Row, 1986), which provide the aforementioned – and much more – data.

Settlements
Response to Canadian Jewish News article of Dec 8th T 51 "Settlememts an impediment to Peace." Message bodyYou can take the man out of the CBC but you can't take
the CBC out of the man. Harry Schacter, an ex-CBC employee
is still spouting the CBC's pro-Palestinian rhetoric. He knows better.
He talks about settler attacks increasing but fails to say whether Palestinian
attacks have also increased. He also fails to mention whether the attacks
by Jews were defensive in nature and whether the attacks by Arabs were
drive-by shootings or terrorists attacks. Without knowing the reasons for the
attacks his statistics are anti-Israel and without any real substance. He also
says that 10,000 olive trees have been damaged or destroyed by his hated settlers.
How many of these trees were destroyed because the Arabs were using them as shields
for indescriminate attacks on the civilian Jewish population. How many of these were
cut down by the Arabs themselves to collect insurance and then blame the settllers
as has recently been proven by the photography unit (Tazpit) of The Legal Forum for the
Land of Israel.
Schacter also assumes that there is an occupation. A little reading of Grief or BenZimra
(both available at Amazon) would indicate that Judea and Samaria are Jewish territories
in international law by the San Remi Agreement. That land is at most disputed territory
and not "occupied" territory. For that reason, among others, the Fourth Geneva Convention does
not apply and the subsequent Conference of U.N. members, not including Israel, (a group that
has been consistently anti-Israel) is quite meaningless.
Schacter then refers to "extremist" settlers. If he had ever talked to any and visited them, as I
have, he would find them mostly to simply be ordinary Jews who wish to live in the heartland of ancient
Israel, including Shiloh which is a 2500 year old Jewish town, hardly a "new" settlement. Since he
mentions Gilo he should also know that that town is effectively a suburb of Jerusalem where most
Jews live, not for religious reasons, but because the real estate prices are cheaper.
Lastly and most importantly, Schacter suggests that if only the Jews would move their 500,000
Jews out of East Jerusalem and the West Bank there would be peace. Here he is just closing his
eyes to the nature of the Palestinians. When Israel became a nation in 1948 they did not claim the
West Bank and yet there was no peace. When Israel left Gaza there was no peace. The Palestinians
could have the land if they would let Jews live there in peace as the Arabs live in peace in Israel. But
no, a condition of peace has to be that the new country be Judenrein. Then the P.A. refuses
to eliminate the clause calling for the destruction of Israel from its Constitution, and when the Palestinians
are offerred 90% of what they ask for, they refuse it and start an intefada. Why Mr. Schacter is it necessary
for the Israeli government to warn Israelis against going near Arab villages if all the Arabs want is peace?
Why must the new state be Judenrein and why must the Arabs get 100% of what they want or refuse
to negotiate? No Harry Schacter, it is not the "Settlements" that are the obstruction to peace but
the anti-Semitism of the West Bank Arabs. It is easy to go with the flow of blaming Jews and Israel
for all the worlds problems, but it is not correct. For a Jew to repeat incorrect Arab arguments against
his own people is disgraceful.

Tom Friedman on Israel. National Post Dec 5 A15
Tom Friedman of the New York Times still doesn't admit that the problem
is not Israel but the Palestinians. They are a violent, misogynous, gay-hating, anti-Semitic group who would rather die a martyr's death than compromise with Israel or see it continue to exist. They cheer on their suicide bombers and gloat at the death
of Israelis and U.S. personnel. Prime Minister Salam Fayyard of the Palestinian Authority may want to see the Palestinians better off financially but he has done nothing to
change the anti-Semitic and anti-Israel culture, and he has not taken out
of their constitution the desire and obligation to destroy Israel. Furthermore he
is only one man who will undoubtedly be ignored if there is an amalgamation with Hamas.
Friedman and the New York Times is wrong. Israel cannot afford to support such a
radical group. It must annex Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) and change
the death-wish culture themselves, That is the only way
for there to be any hope of long term peace.

Negotiations with Fatah
Reasons I believe that negotiations between the Palestinians and Israelis will
not result in a peace agreement.
As long as the Palestinians believe that they should have a right of return, negotiation is senseless
As long as the Palestinians believe that Israel should not be recognized as an independent state, negotiation is senseless
As long as the Palestinians believe that a peace agreement is a hudna agreement, negotiation is senseless
As long as the Palestinians believe that "negotiating" an issue means to have the Israelis concede the issue, negotiation is senseless
As long as the Palestinians continue to teach their children to hate Israel and Jews, negotiation is senseless
As long as the Palestinian media and Palestinian imams spread hatred among Palestinians, negotiation is senseless
As long as Palestinians insist on Jerusalem as their capital and believe that Israel has no claim to Judea and Samaria, negotiation is senseless
As long as the Palestinians use the terms West Bank, settlements, occupation and border instead of armistice line, negotiation is senseless,
As long as there is a Partnership between Hamas and Fatah, negotiations are senseless
As long as it is likely that Hamas would win an election in the West Bank,negotiations are senseless
not result in a peace agreement.

George Jonas, NP Sept 24/11
George Jonas in the NP of Sept 24th/11 also said that "If there's a person on Earth who thinks that the Palestinians should not have a state I haven't heard of him or her yet. "
Now he has. Me. Why should a group of people who do not differ from the people in Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt etc and many of whose ancestors came from those countries have their own state especially when those people who call themselves Palestinians believe in honour killings, oppressing gays and women, suicide bombings and promoting the destuction of Israel. And for George's edification, there are many, many people who agree with me. You heard it first here George!!!

erna Paris' advice to Israel
Paris's opinion is very similar to the opinion that police used to give women - that is - if you think you will be raped, don't yell or fight back, just submit and hope the rapist doesn't kill you afterwards. That is the same as Paris's advice to Israel. However the Palestinians not only want to rape and kill Israel but they want to destroy her reputation before they do so. Paris' advice is great advice from someone who obviously doesn't care about Israel. Israed should fight back. Israel should kill the rapist before her reputation is ruined and she is attacked and destroyed.

Fulford National Post Sept 17th, A24
As usual Robert Fulford's article is excellent. But it brings out many thoughts. The Arab lands that created Jewish refugees has now succeeded in making the Palestinians permanent refugees. They seem to be good at that. In addition there must be a realistic comparison of the culture of the Israelis who are democratic and free, with the Palestinians whose charter, school books and media calls for the destruction of Israel, who have made selling land to a Jew a capital offence, who believe in honour killings, general oppression of women and killing gays, who have forced Christians from their homes and businesses, who admire suicide bombers and who have generally acted beyond the pale in social and family matters. Why would we want to give these people their own state?

Hamas and Fatah unite
It is quite clear. There is no difference between Fatah and Hamas about the desire to destroy Israel. The only difference is the methodology. It is also quite clear that now support of the Palestinians means support for the destruction of Israel. Luckily the Palestinians have overplayed their hand again, giving us a view of their real intentions. As for the U.N., they have been and are currently supporting the idea of an Islamist state of Palestine without regard for its terrorism or the Palestinians' desire to destroy Israel. It is time for Canada to stop supporting the U.N. - to stop supporting the idea of an Islamist Palestinian state, to stop funding the Palestinians, because the funding is really of Islamism and terrorism, and to stop supporting an organization that would make Syria a member of its human rights commission and whose orgnization, UNRWA would not support teaching Palestinian children about the holocaust because it would confuse them. As the Liberals and NDP strongly support the U.N. I strongly suggest voting Conservative.

The Killing at Nablus
Sunday, on the way home from praying at the Tomb of Joseph in Nablus in the West Bank, 5 Israelis were shot at in their vehicle. Four were injured, one was killed. So far in Canada only CTV has reported the incident.
At a time when the West Bank Palestinians are asking for an independent state, both the action and the lack of reporting in the Canadian press are highly significant.
This was not an action by a deranged person or an individual terrorist. The killer was a
Member of the P.A. police force, a representative of the Palestinian government, someone who was undoubtedly armed either directly by the U.S. or indirectly through U.N. funding.
After the murder, Joseph’s Tomb was desecrated by Palestinians. The Palestinian
Government refused to apologize, blaming the settlers for coming to pray without
authorization, something that apparently happens quite often.
There are three important points to consider. The first is how are Canadian supposed to
understand what is really happening in the West Bank if the media reports only killings
and attacks by Israelis but not the consistent mortar attacks from Gaza, and the killings by the Palestinians. The Canadian media also does not report the anti-Israeli and anti-Semitic Arabic Palestinian press releases. The answer to the question is that Canadians can’t make a proper judgement without all the facts, and like Goldstone, they assume that Israel is targeting Palestinians instead of vice-versa. They assume that Palestinians do not kill families including children, as happened only a few weeks ago to the Fogel family and do not kill people coming from their prayers as happened yesterday. Knowledge of these atrocities would help them understand the true nature of what would be a Palestinian state – a land dedicated to the destruction of Israel and Jews, and that with Gaza would promote worldwide terrorist activity. Only without knowledge of the internal and external violence of the Palestinians could one assume that a Palestinian state would be beneficial to world peace.
The second related point is the nature of the Palestinian government and its people. Both are supposed to be moderate Muslims. But do moderate Muslims kill a family that is
sleeping peacefully in their beds? Do they kill Jews returning from prayer? Do they desecrate holy places and do they excuse their actions by saying that the injured were really at fault? The answer of course is that neither the Palestinian people nor their government are moderate in any sense of the word, except that they are more moderate than the Islamists who live in Gaza and who wish to share their Palestinian state.
The third related point is, considering the nature of the Palestinians and their government,
do we really want to help them establish a state or even fund them in their ultimate pursuit of wiping out Israel and Jews and ultimately, with Gaza, promoting worldwide terrorism . I would think that the answer is no, but strangely enough there seems to be little support for that opinion.

African Union's Peace Agreement for Libya
No one is buying the African Union's peace agreement for Libya because one party, in this case Gaddafi, does not want peace. He wants victory and will have it when a peace agreement eliminates the no-fly zone. Why then do we buy the idea of peace for Israel and the Palestinians when the Palestinians do not want peace. Those in Gaza want the destruction of Israel by warfare and those in the West Bank want the destruction of Israel by political maneuvers. When one side wants peace and other doesn't there will be no peace, only a victory by one side. Why does the world regard the possibility of peace with the Palestinians more likely than the possibility of peace with Gaddafi?

Attack on Israeli school bus
It is time to add up the significance of the actions of the inhuman group that call themselves Palestinians. Last week they murdered some of the Fogel family including a baby and a young child who were sleeping peacefully in their beds. The latest poll stated that 1/3 of the West bank Palestinians approved of the killing of these babies and children. The West Bank is considered to be “moderate”. If “moderate” Muslims approve of the killing of children what do the radicals of Gaza think? On Monday, they murdered Juliano Mer Khamis, a Palestinian actor and producer, because he was a peace activist, and yesterday they tried to murder a bus of Israeli students by firing an anti-tank missile at the school bus. What kind of people target babies and children? In addition they believe in polygamy, honour killings and killing gays? What does all this say about their culture? Surely it is not a culture that should be supported by Canada either independently or through the U.N. Surely it is not a group which is deserves our sympathy or the establishment of its own country. It takes at least two generations to change a cultue so I am not hopeful for any immediate cultural changes. Canada should not be funding the culture of a group of child murderers who have no respect for the rights or the lives of others. It is time to review our Middle-East policy.

Juliano Khamis, National Post, Apr 7, A17
According to Arutz Sheva, 1/3 of Palestinians approve of killing the Fogels and their children. Now a Palestinian peacenik, perhaps the only one left, Juliano Khamis, is killed in Jenin. Without any political correctness it is obvious that the Palestinians are a group who would rather kill than make peace and will even kill their own to avoid peace. Are they then a group that should get their own state? Are they a group that Israel can really make peace with? The answer is obviously "no" as they have proved twice this week and over and over again in the past. It takes a generation or two for a culture to change. A solution other than land for peace or giving them a territory from which to wage war, must be found. Their culture and therefore their group is not worthy of support from the West or any part of the civilized world.

letter to the Globe - Re "peace" talks
Shame on the Globe for printing such a one-sided story about the "peace" talks resourced from those notorious anti-semitic institutions - Al Jazeera, the Guardian and the CBC.
I like the Globe but if you continue to print non-sense -especially on the front page, I will be forced to cancel my subscription and subscribe to the Sun instead.
I won't bother to put my phone number or address because I know your letters editor just prints those letters agreeing with your general policy, except for those that are inane or grammatically incorrect.

Provocations that are accurate
In response to the letter by Philip Conklin, the words Israel apartheid week are provocative but anyone who has lived in South Africa during Apartheid knows that apartheid is not an accurate way to describe what is happening in Israel or the West Bank. The separation wall is of course provocative, but the 8000 kassam rockets fired against Israeli civilians is provocative, the current contining firing of those rockets is provocative, suicide bombers killing Israeli citizens is provocative, Palestinians kidnapping Israeli soldiers is provocative, inflated numbers and false pictures of the numbers of Palestinians killed is provocative, the exclusion of any Jews from Gaza is provocative, the Palestinian law making it illegally to sell land to Jews is provocative, the teaching of Palestinian children to hate Israel and Jews is provocative, and the claiming that the West bank is Palestinian territory when it was designated for Israel under the San Remo conference of 1921, illegally annexed by Jordan and then won back in the defensive war of 1967 is provocative. Lastly the statements in the Charters of both Fatah and Hamas that Israel should be destroyed are provocative.
