The "Palestinian" State

[TBC: Excerpts on the appeal to the UN to recognize a “Palestinian” state.”]

If Israel Disappears [Excerpts]

The world -- or at least the large part of it that hates Israel and wishes it would go away --- [sought to move] a step nearer that goal when the United Nations voted on whether to recognize a Palestinian state. The vote violates the Declaration of Principles signed by the PLO in 1993, which committed the terrorist group and precursor to the Palestinian Authority to direct negotiations with Israel over a future state. This violation is further evidence the Palestinian side cannot be trusted to live up to signed agreements and promises.

Before Israel is allowed to disappear again (as Palestinian maps and school textbooks already depict) and the Jews who survive are sent into exile (who would take them?), it is worth noting a few of the numerous contributions Israel has made to the world, compared to what the Arab-Muslim-Palestinian culture has contributed.

Abbas at UN: Israel apartheid state [Excerpts]

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas asked the United Nations [Friday, September 23] to recognize a state for his people, slamming Israel in his General Assembly speech as an "apartheid state."  

Speaking at the UN, Abbas accused Israel of employing an “ethnic cleansing policy” in Jerusalem….Earlier he was most positive, saying: "We extend our hands to the Israeli government and the Israeli people for peacemaking."

Friday afternoon, Abbas said  he is adamant about not recognizing Israel as the Jewish state. "They talk to us about the Jewish state, but I respond to them with a final answer: We shall not recognize a Jewish state," Abbas said in a meeting with some 200 senior representatives of the Palestinian community in the US, shortly before taking the podium and delivering a speech at the United Nations General Assembly.

[TBC: As reported many times, the "Palestinian Charter" retains its original call for the destruction of Israel. That again, is not surprising concerning Islamic teaching: "Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Apostle said, 'The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say, "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him" ’ ” (Volume 4, Book 52, Number 177).]
