Netanyahu's Next Move To Protect Israel

                            Palestinians  of Fatah-Hamas Government: Ismail Haniyah of Hamas in front 

                            Hamas is a terrorist organization..  Palestine is to have no Jews in it, just like Saudi Arabia.

Area C and Ariel 

Evidently the USA in no longer regarding the Oslo Accords as having any merit, for they are allowing the Palestinians, in planning their Palestine, to have a terrorist led government.  Area A was to be exclusively Arab, no Jews.  Area B was to be all Arab.  Area C was to have "full Israeli civil and security control" and the plan was for Israel to withdraw from 13% of it, but they only were able to withdraw from 2% and the actions of the Arabs caused them to perform Operation Defensive Shield, meaning the Arabs had attacked more than could be tolerated which showed no peaceful intent.  Hamas really brought this on themselves.  Israel retains 61% of Judea-Samaria.  The Palestinians also have Gaza as part of their state which has 141 square miles.  

Area C in Judea-Samaria, scene of Israel's ancient history of Israel and Judah found in the Bible ,  is now threatened by the USA being first to recognize an unsettled Palestine with a Fatah-Hamas government patterned after Lebanon's that will not have any Jews living in it.  Area C was allowed to have Jews in the Oslo Accords.  It amounts to 375,000 Jews who live there as of  2013, probably a few more today.  The city of Ariel is the capital of  this Judea-Samaria district. The 3 other cities are Betar Illit, Ma'ale Adumim and Modi'in Illit that house Jews.   When the Assyrians attacked Israel in 720 BCE, the northern Kingdom fell and was renamed Shomron (Samaria).  Judah was created after King Solomon had died in 920 BCE and his son, Rehoboam,  became king.  At the time of 722 BCE, Ahaz was king.  The area of the Judea and Samaria district covers only 2,270 square miles which is but a portion of the ancient lands of Judah and Samaria. 
                                                                            

                                               Ariel
"In July 2012, a government-commissioned report by the Levy committee asserted, based on a number of reasons, that there is no legal basis under international law to refer to Judea and Samaria as "occupied territory". Article 43 of the Fourth Hague Convention of 1907 is the basis of the Levy Committee's opinion. Its opinion may be found on the Internet with an English translation"  "The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law,"  They call them "occupied territories."  Israel calls them "disputed territories."  

Obama  just settled the dispute by recognizing them as  Palestine, state for the "Palestinian" Arabs, recent immigrants who left their homes at the creation of Israel and instead of returning when the fighting was over, remained in refugee camps where most remain today, taken care of by the UN.  

Israel was willing to go along with a 2-state solution, not wanting to change the nature of Israel as a Zionist state, refuge for Jews who were suffering from anti-Semitism, but can't accept a terrorist state bent on their destruction.  Kerry didn't manage to change their minds about that, which was understood being they refuse to change their charter of Hamas nor their goal to destroy Israel lying in their hearts.

There must be an international law that a state cannot be created that has a terrorist government intent on destroying its neighbor.  This is what the UN was created for, to keep such things from happening.  The UN is not living up to its original charter.  It's not all over yet.  So far the USA was the first to recognize this state and we haven't heard from the Western states as yet.  

First off, the PA violated the Oslo Accords by taking unilateral action and applying for membership in 15 different international organization for statehood.  This went against the peace process and caused the halt to it, yet Kerry blames Israel.   To top that off, the USA has hurried to be the first country to recognize a state of Palestine, a Palestine that will have a ruling government of Hamas terrorists just like Lebanon's Hezbollah government plan.  

Israeli MK Bennett came up with an idea that Israel should have sovereignty over Area C of Judea and Samaria back in 2010, but the USA crushed that idea quickly.  Now, with the threat of having an honest to goodness terrorist state in their back yard, Netanyahu has to come up with a plan B as to what to do.  He threw out the idea of the need to separate from the Palestinians, which is going to be some trick being they are so close.  They did this once in Gaza and it was a complete mistake.  A poll was taken and 60% of Jews opposed a unilateral withdrawal from the area.  20% of Israel's citizens are Arabs and 2/3 of them support withdrawal.  

What is the USA suggesting now that they have  started the wartime atmosphere, something not expected in a peace process?  They have the wait and see attitude like they had with Syria and Ukraine.  Before recognizing Palestine they failed to get any written guarantees about peaceful behaviors from the Palestinians who are still dropping rockets on southern Israel.  In fact it just happened today again and a rocket was shot into southern Israel, the 108th since the first of 2014.  .  Now, Israel can expect more terrorism to come from Judea and Samaria on the east side as well and continued shelling from the west from Gaza.  Well, they said that they'll be watching all of that very carefully to ensure that that doesn't happen.  Watching doesn't stop anything.  It's been going on since 2001 from Gaza already and I haven't seen anyone try to stop the terrorists except Israel.  So now they'll do the same thing and watch some more.  USA is not about to get involved.  They'll following the adage, "We don't mix in."  

 Isn't this all prophesied in the Bible?  Some great big blowout is expected to happen against Israel.  I think John Kerry and Obama are not wasting any time getting the bombfire lit.

Watch What Countries Will Recognize a Hamas-Fatah Palestine

Nadene Goldfoot                                                  

                                       Hamas Terrorists

What countries will tumble head over heels in their rush to recognize a Palestine that has a Hamas-Fatah government?  They have never accepted Israel's existence which was sanctified by not only the League of Nations but the UN later as well May 14, 1948.  Will this decision actually grow near even though they have walked away from the Peace Accords with John Kerry?
                                     

                                          Fatah fighters

Hamas is a recognized terror group breaking all the rules established by international law to create a state.  The West will not have official dealings with them.  They continue to call for Israel's destruction and continually work on that by bombing their neighbor with missiles, mortars and rockets.  Recognition will only grant them the idea that the rest of the world is allowing such practice.  They will not be peaceful with Israel until they decide to change their charter and accept Israel's existence.

Did US Secretary of State John Kerry convey these facts to the Palestinians during their meetings?  He says he talked of this although we know Abbas of Fatah will never recognize Israel and neither will Hamas yet Abbas  had the audacity to Monday to say that the new government would be committed to these principles.  Why then, couldn't they agree when they met with Kerry?  Like the child who tells his mom that he'll stop teasing his sister when caught, then wiggles away and does it again 15 minutes later, these are just empty promises with nothing to back them up.

What countries will recognize Palestine now that Fatah and Hamas are united again?  They've been uniting on and off again throughout the past years, but being Abbas is nearing 80 years of age, wants to have something positive to leave in his memory, so is condescending to Hamas, who broke off from them.

 It will be the immediate Muslim countries of the area, of course, like Iran who is the most hateful of all the countries towards Israel,  Jordan who is already half Palestinian, and Syria's Assad, who wants backing,  Pakistan who has been noisily anti-Israel of late, and possibly Egypt will be last.  Then the outer Muslim countries will recognize it of which there are 48 in all, making Palestine the 49th at least.

Of the West, the countries who have the most to gain from such a recognition will fall in like Russia, Norway,  Brussels, Sweden, France, England, etc.

 The USA should be standing aside from such a decision.  They say they can only work with a government that endorses the "Quartet principles,"  which are:
1. Israel's right to exist
2. Renunciation of violence and terror
3.. Endorse previous Israels-Palestinian agreements
                                                                                 

The United States already promised Israel that they would not deal with any Palestinian government "backed by the terrorists, Hamas," so that really takes this out of the picture anyway, unless they break their promise.  Has the USA ever done that?    The Quartet is made up of Germany, USA's John Kerry, Russia and EU (European Union) of which Catherine Ashton is their rep.  Will they be a party to recognition without recognition of their own laws.

I would also add that the PA need to make back payments on their electric bill and from now on are responsible for supplying their own electricity and other needs and not depend on Israel to do it.

How did we ever reach the day when a terrorist group bent on the destruction of a neighbor state has been allowed to be at war with that state and then be on the agenda to become a state?  The UN allowed it.  Isn't their role to stop such things from happening?

It started in 2006 when George Bush allowed Hamas's participation to run for presidency of the Gaza Palestinians, thinking that this was democracy in action.  Instead, they won over Abbas and Fatah by showing they had more muscle power and probably used it in gaining votes.  Condoleezza Rice was secretary of state then and has written in her memoirs that the USA should have had each party disarm before they could run for office. I think there were more conditions that should have been met as well, like accept Israel first, throw out their textbooks teaching children to hate Jews, etc., or forget it until they do.   They put the horse before the cart.

Israel has put the USA first before their benefits that could have come from Russia, so I hope that the USA doesn't melt and just accept a Palestine along with all the other sheep.  Israel could have received $1 billion in defense trade and other projects with Russia.  Moscow also can influence others towards Israel because of their ties with their enemy like Iran and Syria.  Russia has done one good thing.  They cancelled a huge $300PMU (air defense) contract with Iran already.

Israel is left to protect its citizens from Gaza who fired rockets at Israel on Monday.  Israel's Air Force retaliated by striking 2 terror targets, the first retaliation in a month.  At the same time, the IDF retaliated towards Syria after their shells hit Israeli military posts on Mount Hermon in the Golan.  You'd think Syria had enough rebels of their own to strike.

Israel has stopped 11 attempts of a mixed bag of Palestinian Fatah and Hamas  and other terror-Islamic  security prisoners  from inside Israel's jails who were  trying to kidnap Israeli soldiers and citizens.  They were in the act of teaching others on how to do this.  The idea was to arrange their own release in a prisoner exchange deal.  (Ynet News).

We still see many people all over the world supporting BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) against Israel.  It happens the most on the USA campuses as well as in Canada, Australia and Europe.  People see themselves in the hero role championing Palestinian rights.  In Ramallah, now a Palestine capital, activists of the PA were seen  not as champions but as trouble-makers and law-breakers.  PA (Palestine Authority of Fatah) the movement goes against the real interests of the Palestinians.  The reason is that they are seen by everyone as radicals, and they want to be seen as people wanting a peace agreement with Israel using the 2-state solution, but this has also come to an end with the merger of Fatah with Hamas now.

There seems to be no group supporting Israel by championing their rights.  Even the USA's 6 million Jews are divided into 2 groups with J Street knocking Israel and trying to divert their policy towards what they want, living safely away thousands of miles in the USA. J Street is a competitor with AIPAC, who back Israel's rights and decisions and are not arm chair players in the policies.  We have the Presbyterians championing the Palestinian Christians who are being used by the Palestinian Muslims.  However, we do have the Evangelical Christians in Israel's corner along with the Israelis and other more conservative American Jews.  Egypt and Jordan are still keeping their peace.  You can imagine that a Palestine will not sign any peace pact with Israel.  Their first goal is to take over east Jerusalem.

Why President Morsi of Egypt Can Be Dangerous for Israel

Nadene Goldfoot

The motto of the Muslim Brotherhood is:

Allah is our objective

The Prophet is our leader

The Qur'an (Koran) is our law

Jihad is our way

Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope

This is the party that just got Morsi elected President in Egypt.  Egypt is probably going to change, and not for the better, despite the nice promises he has made to be so moderate.  A lot depends on how much he will keep promises, and as a politician, that is a slippery slope.  It's more important to look into his belief system and his past deeds.    Already he has announced that he is reconsidering Egypt's former peace deal with Israel.  He intends to build ties with Iran to create a strategic balance in the Middle East.

"According to the Anti-Defamation League, several former Brotherhood officials from the organization's 15-member Guidance Council assumed key roles within the new party, and used their positions in the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) of which the now President Morsi was head of  to reiterate the Brotherhood's long-standing hostility toward Zionism and support for other organizations that oppose Zionism"


The Muslim Brotherhood is dangerous for Israel because the terrorist organization, Hamas, is an offshoot of it and is carrying out the doctrine of both.  Hamas means:
 the Islamic Resistance Movement.  It was started in 1987 in the First Intifada.  Their goals are:

To raise the banner of Allah over every inch of Palestine.
They will not recognize Israel
They believe that all of Israel belongs to the Palestinian people.
They call for the destruction of Israel.
There will be no peaceful negotiations
Jihad means to attack others to get what they want, and they won't mind dying to in order to get what they want, in fact they get extra credit it if they do.   If so, they'll be rewarded in heaven with their 72 virgins.   A jihad is a holy war waged on behalf of Islam as a religious duty; a crusade for a principle or belief. 
They are the ones who are constantly shelling southern Israel with mortars, missiles and rockets which go on to this very day. 

"The Egyptian cleric Safwat Higazi spoke at the announcement rally May 1, 2012  for the Muslim Brotherhood's candidate Morsi and expressed his hope and belief that Morsi would liberate Gaza, restore the Caliphate of the "United States of the Arabs" with Jerusalem as its capital, and that "our cry shall be: 'Millions of martyrs march towards Jerusalem."


The Brotherhood was much noticed after President Obama made his famous Cairo speech at al-Azhar University in Cairo in 2009 where he was not being particularly nice about Israel.  In his speech he goes along with the prevailing Washington idea of the two state solution where Israel could not continue to  build anything, and praises the  Muslims for their  outstanding accomplishments.   He was showing a huge outreach to the Muslim world in this speech.  Egypt has a population of more than 79,089,650 people of which 90% are Sunni Muslims with Coptic Christians in the wee minority.  Islam is a state religion.  They have a large militry power of active troops numbering about 450,000.  It's the 5th largest majority Muslim population in the world  with Obama's Indonesia  with 228,582,000 population being first.

After this Cairo speech,  by  February 2011 the Brotherhood dominated the Egyptian parliamentary elections.  In April  Secretary of State Clinton ordered the transfer of $1.5 billion in a lump sum with no strings attached in a grant to Egypt.  It's labeled for peace and security.  Egypt has been accepting money from the USA each year.  In 2006 they got $1.8 billion.

Peres in Israel feels that Egypt must remember their economic situation and will have to consider their economy in order to exist.

"Palestinian's" Big Strategy to Take Israel

Nadene Goldfoot
If one reads the PLO Charter written up July 1-17, 1968, you will see on article 15 the goal of  the liquidation of the Zionist presence which means the state of Israel.  This calls for the destruction of Israel, not just the end of Zionism.  The PA (Palestinian Authority) is the PLO.  Arafat was a member of Fatah and Abbas is also, and is the incumbent due to Arafat's death.  It's just that the PA's name came about in 1994 as an outgrowth of the Oslo Accords and was to be in charge of the West Bank, and not Gaza.

A West Bank Palestine is only a first step toward their goal of creating a Palestine in place of Israel.  PLO officials have made this clear.  It is known as the "strategy of stages."  

On June 8,  1974, the Palestine National Council met in Cairo  and declared that creating a Palestinian "national authority" on any territory relinquished by Israel would only be "a step on the path" to the total "liberation of Palestinian soil."  This is still held to.The PLO was founded  in 1964 when the West Bank, called this by Jordan who illegally held Judea and Samaria and was under Jordan's Arab rule.  The Palestine the PLO wanted to liberate was Israel within the pre-1967 borders.  The official PLO insignia is a map that includes all of Israel.  So let's get real as to what  their planned outcome happens to be:  the takeover of all of Israel.

In 1988 Kissinger made it clear that the PLO would not be dealt with until they recognize Israel and renounce terrorism.  Arafat then accepted UN's resolution 242 and promised to recognize Israel and that they renounced terrorism.  Arafat backtracked quickly and denied that he recognized Israel in 1988.  He was on Libyan TV on July 19, 1991 and "No, no, no!  We do not recognize Israel.  We said there would be recognition when a Palestinian state is established and it will decide whether to recognize Israel or not."   Then on September 9, 1993 he recognized Israel in peace and security.  It never happened that Israel had peace or security, so the recognition was just words spoken.  It didn't mention recognition of Israel as a "Jewish" state, either, just a state.

Abu Iyad was the #2 man in the PLO and has since died in 1991 but had said that there should be no illusions.  According to their phased plan, they will establish a Palestinian state on any part of Palestine the enemy will retreat from.  It will be a stage in their prolonged struggle for the liberation of Palestine.  He spoke of creating a democratic state on all of its territory, but we know this is not true.  There is to be no Jews living in their Palestine.  That's not democratic.  Israel is already a democratic state that they plan to replace.

So, if a Palestine is established, Hamas-Fatah will still not recognize Israel or its right to exist.  In fact, the PLO charter has become  harsher in taking on the goals of the Muslim Brotherhood as well.  Arafat had made empty promises and received a Nobel Prize  in 1994 for the masquerade of a peaceful person.

The proof of the pudding is that there has been no peace, and no end to terrorism. It was thought for a long time that Fatah wanted peace while Hamas was against it, but both have teamed up today.    Yet Clinton keeps pounding Israel to make peace with the "Palestinians" and work out a 2 state solution.  I haven't noticed her pounding Abbas, the PA leader, or approaching Hamas at all.  Frankly, I think a new charter would lead to a better outlook and needs to come first.  In fact, Arutz Shava had an article about the American Jews calling for Fatah to rewrite their charter on November 20, 2007: The proposed statement details those clauses of the Fatah charter, drafted in 1964 and never repealed, that call for the "demolition" of the State of Israel, as well as "the eradication of the Zionist economic, political, military and cultural existence.” Methinks that Kissinger in 1988 had something going after all in his approach.  Instead, Hamas kicked Abbas out of Gaza and Peace was ignored, of course and replaced with all the shelling to come out of Gaza from 2001 till today.
