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.

Abbas' Resignation
Welcoming Abbas' Resignation
Think out of the box! If Abbas dissolves the P.A. it will leave Judea and Samaria with no leadership. Control and responsiblity for that area will be left to Israel. This will give Israel an opportunity to annex the area without serious opposition of the neighboring countries. At the moment they are more concerned with Iran and the Arab Spring. Any annexation will be safer before Iran acquires nuclear weapons and before the Islamic leaders of the Arab Spring gain complete power. The result of annexation will be a better chance for peace in the area. It will be the one Jewish state solution set up in accordance with international law as defined by the Balfour Declaration and the San Remo Conference

Letter to NP re De Souza - March 15th
De Souza is right. The police need watching. After many incidents of abuse and
lack of enforcement by the police, we, the people of Ontario in particular, have lost faith in police use
of common sense in who they arrest and whom they carefully watch to ensure there
is no violent conflict that would reflect badly on them. At the same time the courts have shown
a leniency to wrong-doers that is simply beyond imagination. Harper's anti-crime bill is designed
to solve the latter problem. Hopefully his next task will be to solve the administration of the police
problem.

letter to NP re Balsillie
Islamism, yes. Capitalism, no
The times do change! Funds pour into our universities from Saudi Arabia and their Islamist
friends to fund University Middle East Departments. It is naive to think that foreign doners
will not exercise some under-the-table influence. That is their traditional way of operating.
In addition special university rates are given by our Ontario government to foreign students
who may or may not be chosen by their native countries for their abilities to influence
Canadian university thought and procedure. University teachers haven't objected to these
potentially very harmful influences on our universities and yet they object to being influenced by a Canadian capitalist
think tank that is up-front about its desire to partially control how its money is spent. It seems that the
university teachers are already so brain washed with leftist anti- Canadian values that Balsillies' influence
is not only required but can only be beneficial to our universities.

Letter to Toronto Sun - re Reuters - page 34
Half-truths by Reuters
It pains me to see the Sun repeat the Reuters news clips that are sent from Gaza.
They speak about "a familiar pattern" of violence. That is true, but it hides the whole truth -
that the violence is always begun by Hamas' militants. In this case it hides the truth that over 100 rockets shelled Israeli cities and citizens before Israel responded. The article also omitted to say that the Palestinian rockets usually kill no Israelis because Israel has prepared its citizens with bomb shelters and protective rooms in each apartment or building. Hamas on the other hand has provided no protection for its citizens and allows the militants to fire rockets from near civilian buildings, virtually forcing Israel to inadvertantly kill Palestinian civilians.
Without this background and with the heading reading "Israeli attacks kill boy, militant", it appears that Israel is the aggressor. It is not. At the minimum the Sun heading should read: "Palestinian boy killed in counteract" or "100 Palestinian rockets yield counterattack and death of Palestinian boy".

National Post
Joffe and Romirowsky are looking at a human monster and seeing Prince Charming. The Palestinians are not an ancient people. Their ancestors in 1900 numbered about 500,000, 8% of whom were Jews. Incoming laborers to support Jewish projects made up the majority of what are now called the Palestinians. The name Palestine itself referred to an area lived in by tenant farmers and ruled for the last thousand years by Turkey. They are therefore a false people living in a land that under international law (The San Remo Conference of 1920) belongs to Israel. Their new prosperity is not the result of ingenuity and hard work, but of European and United Nations funding. Their social structure includes the oppression of women including honour killings, hatred of gays, the glorification of suicide bombers and others who have murdered Israeli civilians, the attempt to eliminate Jews from their areas, and the oppression and
forced emigration of much of their Christian community. Politically their charter includes the elimination of Israel
by war, attrition or negotiation as one of their main aims. Joffe and Romirowsky have chosen to close their eyes
to the realities of a small group of Arabs with superb self-promotion skills, who, with the help of their Islamist fellow travellers, are trying to rid the area of Jews. It is hardly a project to be admired or supported.

The One Jewish state solution
Thhis is an unpublished letter in response to an op-ed in the National Post. Ambassador Said Hamad’s op-ed, like many of the writings of his fellow travelers, both Jewish and non-Jewish, is well written but his argument is based
on both wrong facts and gross omissions of information. Despite the repetition of theories and desires based on historically incorrect information, the truth remains and must be repeated clearly in order to understand the problems of Israel and its supposed expansionism.
Israel is not an occupier of Palestinian territory. The West Bank or Judea and Samaria was illegally annexed by Jordan in 1950 and then won in a defensive war from Jordan in 1967. It never was “Palestinian territory” because Palestine is not now nor has it ever been a recognized state. For the last 1000 years Jews and Arabs have lived peacefully together in Jerusalem, Hebron, and the other smaller cities. The area was ruled by Turkey. Most of the land was owned by landowners who lived in Syria or Turkey. Until the arrival of substantial numbers of Jews in 1900, it was a very poor, unpopulated, desolate, mostly ignored area of the world. Then, when Jews began to immigrate there in larger numbers, the situation and the attitudes changed. Arabs also began to immigrate in large numbers because jobs opened up with Jewish immigration. After the first world war when the whole middle east was taken from the Turks and arbitrarily divided into countries, the area called Palestine was assigned to be a homeland for Jews. Pursuant to the San Remo Agreement of 1920, Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) became, under international law, Jewish lands with the Arabs who live there entitled to no political rights. Arabs have no rights under the 4th Geneva Convention because Judea and Samaria are Jewish lands and you can’t occupy your own land. In addition the 4th Geneva Convention applies to occupied lands of different states and Palestine has never been a recognized state. Lastly, although the Canadian government has not changed the Foreign Affairs Department website, the information there is obviously outdated since our Conservative government changed Liberal “neutral” policy. Canada is no longer neutral and a follower of the U.N. majority. It is a strong independent force for good in many areas, including the Middle East
Now I suggest the following omissions. The Israeli government has not claimed Judea and Samaria, not because it was not theirs, but because they didn’t have the population to fill the land. Ambassador Hamad knows full well that a right of return of thousands of “refugees” would swamp Israel and destroy it as a Jewish homeland. He also knows that the Constitution of Fatah, the government of the West Bank contains statements that their
prime objective is to destroy Israel. The same statements are in Hamas’ constitution. Lastly, as everyone knows, since Israel left Gaza and it has been entirely controlled by Arabs, Gaza has been a continuous source of violence and aggression against Israel. A peaceful solution, other than peace by destroying Israel, therefore will not come fromgranting a right of return, nor from Israel leaving Judea and Samaria. As Arab objectives are not to form a peaceful country but to destroy Israel through war, land grants, or terrorism, peace will not come soon to the Middle East.
