Note: This talk is directed at those Arabs and Palestinians who have truly given up on the 48 lands, as their true compromise for peace and justice to both sides of the conflict.
Where is Palestine? Is it the West Bank (including East Jerusalem) and the Gaza Strip? What about Akka, Beer Sheeba, Haifa, Nazareth, Negev, and Yafa? Where do some Arabs, including Palestinians, find the audacity to refer to those cities as "Israel proper"? I don't recall Palestinians signing any referendum where they relinquished lands occupied in 1948 to become eternally part of the land of Israel. As for those who have publicly given up on 48 Palestine as a political decoy in order to justify their demand for the West Bank and Gaza, they are only cunning themselves; like a policeman molesting children so that he can understand the criminal mind of a child molester. These Arafat-type hypocrites, telling the world that they no longer have any claims to 78% of British-mandate Palestine, then turning to a Palestinian audience and winking as though saying "don't worry, we wont give up an inch of Palestine;" are excluded from the discussion here.
Our natural tendency, as human beings, to be attracted to equality as the basis for justice should not be used to obscure reality! It is not true that both Palestinians and Israelis have equal rights to the land of Palestine. The Palestinians (of all religious and ethnic backgrounds, including Palestinian Jews) are the indigenous people; the rightful owners and citizens of Palestine. The Israelis, on the other hand, are foreigners who have entered Palestine illegally, under the illegal British colonialist rule of the land. The legality of all land purchases by Zionists was administered by an illegal occupying force, thus nullifying all such transactions. But even if we were to overrule the illegality of the land purchases and accept them, there is no legal precedent that gives foreign land owners the right to expel the indigenous people, overthrow the existing government, and establish their own nation-state! Imagine if Chinese citizens buy 7% of California's land over decades, then one day announce that 51% of California is, from now on, the independent state of Hanland, instantly recognized by the whole world (except for US, UK, Israel, Australia, and Micronesia of course). Not only that, but when the American government (rightfully) rejects that decision and declares war on Hanland, the whole world collaborates with the Chinese, who end up capturing the entire state of California, and expelling all non-Chinese people into bordering states, telling them "don't be such whiners! You're Americans, you have 49 states to choose from, why can't you let us have just this one state? So unfair!"
No one is saying that Chinese people have no right to live in California, or even purchase land, build homes, and establish businesses in California. But for the Chinese to have been plotting for 70 years on how to take over California, because they really can't stand sharing the state with Whites, Blacks, Latinos, and other Asians, is despicable by any measure. No one on earth would be able to seriously justify the creation of Hanland, not even on one inch of California! So why is it OK for European Jewish foreigners to have done that to Palestine?
"God promised this land to the Jews," they say. So these illegal land thieves are using the Bible as their legal document in the courts to prove that Palestine belongs to them, overriding International law, and thousands of land deeds in the hands of Palestinian refugees. And the world is supposed to take this seriously? Alright, let's take them seriously for a second. Genesis 15: "On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram and said, 'To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates- 19 the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, 20 Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, 21 Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites.'" This magical covenant is repeated a dozen times throughout the Bible. Well, Arabs are the descendants of Abram, just as much as the Jews are. So in fact, God promised these great lands to the Arabs as well.
Western media, as well as the Israeli media, have been tirelessly distorting the story to make the whole world at least acknowledge that both European Jewish invaders, and the indigenous multi-ethnic people of Palestine, are both entitled to the land, with equally controversial documents to back them up. And of all people on Earth, never have I thought that some Arab (especially a Palestinian) would one day accept the Western narrative of the story, and find the audacity in their hearts and minds to accept Israel (a state for Jews only) as a legitimate entity, erasing four fifths of Mandate Palestine, along with its people, their belongings, their identity and history.
If waiting for 62 years is all it takes the Zionists to convince you that they have a legitimate and exclusive right to 48 lands, then all Israelis have to do is wait another 19 years for the pro-Palestine camp to stop calling for returning to the 67 border. The Palestinians living in Jordan seem to be doing just fine. Why not complete the Zionist project and move the remaining Palestinians to Jordan, so that everyone can live happily ever after?
