Why No “Palestinian” Peace Plan Ever Works

59

It was predictable that the “Palestinians” would reject President Trump’s “Deal of the Century” plan, and reject yet another opportunity to establish the state they claim to want so badly and to have been unjustly denied. No one can honestly deny, however, how sweet a deal it is for the “Palestinians”: not just a state, but fifty billion dollars as well. That kind of money can buy a lot of beachfront villas for “Palestinian” oligarchs. But there was just one catch: they would have had to give up the jihad, and that is a bridge too far.

As they rejected the plan, the “Palestinians” once again couched their statement in Islamic terms.

Even before the plan was announced, the official Palestinian Authority daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida declared that the Palestinian National Council “again expressed its objection to every plan, project, deal, or attempt to harm the Palestinian people’s inalienable rights.” It called upon the Palestine Liberation Organization to “take all the necessary steps to encourage and escalate the resistance and the struggle against the occupation in all its forms and manners.” Jihad is “struggle” in Arabic.

Al-Hayat Al-Jadida was by no means alone in resorting to Islamic terms. An Islamic Republic press organ, the Tehran Times, reported that “Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani on Wed., in a letter sent to the Parliament speakers of the Islamic states, urged Islamic countries to counter US-proposed so-called ‘Deal of Century.’”’

The Islamic State (ISIS) was not to be outdone. According to the Jerusalem Post Tuesday, the new ISIS caliph, Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Quraishi, “called on all Muslims worldwide to thwart US President Donald Trump’s peace plan, and added that ‘The Muslims who live in Palestine… will be at the forefront of the fight against the Jews [and] foiling the ‘Deal of the Century.’”

In “secular” Turkey, meanwhile, according to Yeni Şafak, “Turkish demonstrators poured onto streets across the country on Tuesday to protest U.S. President Donald Trump’s long-awaited Middle East peace plan….Many protesters at the rally held placards bearing slogans reading, ‘Jerusalem belongs to Islam.’”

Note all the terminology being used, across the board. “Islamic states” should counter the plan. “Muslims worldwide” should work to thwart it. “Jerusalem belongs to Islam.” Palestinians should escalate their “jihad.”

Yet this is the one aspect of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict that mainstream Western analysts routinely dismiss or ignore: Islam. This is a disastrous exercise in willful ignorance, as the Palestinian jihadis and their supporters constantly frame their war against Israel in Islamic terms, as The Palestinian Delusion: The Catastrophic History of the Middle East Peace Process shows.

It’s easy to understand, albeit inexcusable, why the Islamic aspect of the conflict is routinely ignored. The Qur’an commands Muslims to “drive them out from where they drove you out” (2:191), and even though it is a historical fiction that Israel actually drove Muslim Arabs out, this claim is a staple of pro-Palestinian propaganda, and hence it is a divine imperative, no more negotiable than the Ten Commandments are for Jews and Christians, that Muslims must destroy Israel and “drive out” the Israelis.

That means that no negotiated settlement will ever establish Israel securely and end the jihad against it, and that’s why analysts ignore Islam when considering the conflict: people don’t like bad news, or problems that cannot be solved. Nonetheless, this is the reality of the situation, and no good can ever come from ignoring reality.

In light of the role of Islam in the conflict, a Palestinian state would simply be a new base for more jihad attacks against Israel, as the withdrawal from Gaza demonstrated. Its establishment would not bring peace. The idea that Palestinians or their allies and supporters will ever sincerely accept Israel’s right to exist is a pipe dream.

The refusal of analysts of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to face the role of Islamic theology in the conflict is astonishingly naïve and ethnocentric. The Palestinians and their supporters will never accept the Trump peace plan because of Islamic imperatives that mandate that Islam must dominate and not be dominated, and that any land that once was ruled by Islamic law must be ruled by Islamic law forever. Unless and until these facts are taken into account, every peace plan is foredoomed.

True. People fall into a trap of opportunistic & convenient fake-truths.

It behooves many people to keep alive the “Question of Palestine.” All the investments the UN has made in the “Palestinian people occupied since 1967” would be for naught if any peace was ever reached. Can you imagine how many jobs would be lost, for example?

https://www.un.org/unispal/un-system/

In 2011, “Obama, Soros create ‘Palestine;'” though I’ve never followed up on what became of their investments.

“JERUSALEM – In partnership with a government fund initiated by Barack Obama, philanthropist and billionaire activist George Soros is investing in a private equity company that just launched in the Palestinian territories.

The company, Siraj Fund Management Company, says it was created ‘for the sole purpose of managing investment funds in Palestine.’

The new company’s website repeatedly refers to what it calls the ‘country’ of ‘Palestine.’ There is, however, no such country as Palestine. Siraj is apparently referring to territories controlled by the Palestinian Authority.”

There comes a time when cold hard facts need to be faced no mater how inconvenient. When it becomes obvious, through actions and deeds, that statehood is not their goal, then statehood should be denied. It is time for a one state solution, Israel and the area of Israel as defined by God. No human or government has the right to overrule God. He defined the borders of Israel and it should not be subdivide or given away for peace.

President Trump recognizes this prophetic time. When he unveiled this you probably also noticed who was in the audiance – Pastors and Jews. His reference to Bible verses was no accident.

Trump’s heart is in the right place. Trump is not the”anti Christ” so no peace will be achieved there. When this person comes along, then there will be a temporary peace till all hell breaks out.

Trump is hated globally because he is not a globalist. Netanyahu is not a globalist either. Both are hated by globalists. The ultimate “anti Christ” will be charismatic, loved and a globalist. So when I see Christians talking about Trump being the “anti Christ” I have to silently laugh. Trump and Netanyahu are IN THE WAY OF THE ANTI CHRIST!

They should return to the post 1967 borders by undoing Jimmy Carters “Camp David accord”.
Everything east of the Suez is Israel again..
Since Sinai is over 20 times the size of Israel more land means less contested ” settlements” in the west bank… The Golan Heights is out of the question because the cause of the 6 day war was to stop Hezbollah from Shelling Israel with cannon..
Since 1967 they have had to use short range missiles which are vulnerable to Israeli Iron dome defense technology..

I believe Sadat signed a peace treaty w/Israel after the Sinai was once again given back to the Egyptian muslum vermin — then he was assassinated for doing so. AFAIK all the other combatant muslum states in the ’73’ Yom Kippur War have never signed peace treaties w/Israel — in effect, it has been a long cease fire since the Yom Kippur War.

HOUSE OF ISLAM versus HOUSE OF WAR … simple ..
So, are you a DHIMMI or HARBI, you infidel?

The world is divided into the House of Islam and the House of War, the Dar al-Islam and the Dar al-harb. The Dar al-Islam is all those lands in which a Muslim government rules and the Holy Law of Islam prevails. Non-Muslims may live there on Muslim sufferance.

The outside world, which has not yet been subjugated, is called the “House of War,” and strictly speaking a perpetual state of jihad, of holy war, is imposed by the law. The law also provided that the jihad might be interrupted by truces as and when appropriate. In fact, the periods of peace and war were not vastly different from those which existed between the Christian states of Europe for most of European history.

The law thus divides unbelievers theologically into those who have a book and profess what Islam recognizes as a divine religion and those who do not; politically into dhimmis, those who have accepted the supremacy of the Muslim state and the primacy of the Muslims, and harbis, the denizens of the Dar al-harb, the House of War, who remain outside the Islamic frontier, and with whom therefore there is in principle, a canonically obligatory perpetual state of war until the whole world is either converted or subjugated.

Thank God there are intellectuals like Spencer out there to educate the masses. He is a clear, sharp thinker and writer and deftly pointed out the absolute root cause of this conflict, which is Islam.

This might be obvious to those of us who’ve been in this battle for decades but it still remains a mystery to the establishment. It is because there is a very deliberate campaign of discounting religion as the prime motivating factor among the media, elites and so-called ‘expert opinions.’

So long as the West continues to ignore Islam in any analysis of our conflict involving Muslims, we’ll always be fighting our enemies with our hands tied behind our back.

What’s most disgusting about it is that Muslims haven’t done this to us (though they played a marginal role), we’ve largely done it to ourselves because we have a taboo around criticizing religions and this is also what makes Islam so effective at winning.

Muslims place no such constraints on themselves when fighting their infidel enemies. In fact they’re more than happy to deal with us as dishonest brokers and undermining us when they get the upper hand. They also openly insult, denounce all other religions.

Progress will only begin the day our leaders and the media finally start talking about Islam being the real problem and understanding that it is an ideology that has been in a permanent state of war against us for 1400 years.

Then finally coming to the realization that the only way we can have real peace in any conflict with Muslims is to eradicate Islam once and for all. Or at the very least they must realize Muslims will never integrate and they all must be removed from every non-Muslim nation or we will end up having civil war.

Muslims are lazy and perfectly content to live a 7th century life style to please Allah. Capitalism, democracy, and freedom are not what they want They want Sharia Law, oppression and poverty. Their goal is to make US like THEM. Sure there are some exceptions but they are not the majority or in positions of power and it violates Islam to have those yearnings.

“A majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority.” Except for muslums and Nazis I’d agree w/that statement. If you don’t take away the rights of f’ing muslums they will do nothing but conspire to take away the rights and liberties of everyone not a f’ing muslum (e.g. Lebanon). Muslums should be disenfranchised from voting, holding political office, holding any government employment, receiving welfare. They should be treated similarly to how nazis were treated across Europe post-WW2.

To protect freedom, what you’ve said is a ‘must’. Its not an option, its a must, and it is the least that needs to be done. But I feel like all we’re doing is just repeating this to one another.

Is there a mechanism whereby any of this can be accomplished, any statutes, any laws, any precedents? Is there a legal framework to reclassify Islam from a ‘religion’ to just another ideology with domination at its heart? If there is, then this needs to be pushed in the faces of our politicians and fellow countrymen till there is blueness of face

Muslims have studied the West and no doubt they have seen their pathway – our own laws and constitution used against us. Our laws define us. We cannot treat them with disregard, even though they are even by the ‘home team’ much less by the invaders. If we can’t defeat them by law then I fear all be lost – it may already be so, because any civil unrest will not be without much loss. If it comes to that, it will literally be a fight to the death, not too unlike where we are now. Either the land of the free survives or we die trying, because losing means the end of freedom.

We cannot sleep any longer. Under Trump there is a chance. If or when that time comes when he is no longer in office, if sufficient push back hasn’t been reached, then we will have lost the chance to do this bloodless and possibly even to win. And if that push back doesn’t include a restoration of the faith that build this land, then all efforts will be for naught.

If you don’t have any sort of socialized medicine how are you going to stop epidemics from spreading? If people without any sort of healthcare are turned away from ER’s while carrying coronavirus, ebola how are you going to prevent its spread? You’ll never even know they have it.

Suppose you have emergency rooms turning away people instead of treating them, what if some of those people have dangerous diseases? Do you really want them out there spreading that disease among everyone else? Or getting some sort of treatment? It could be much more costly to allow the disease to spread than not to treat the carriers. China’s medical care system is abysmal and I imagine that is a contributing cause to why coronavirus is spreading at a rapid rate through their population.

Although Trump’s peace plan would be very attractive to a normal group of people, it would not work effectively with Muslims because their DNA is wired to re-neg on any deal especially if it’s with the Infidels. They will take advantage of the Kuffar-kindness.

For the above-mentioned reasons, I hope that the deal does not go through, especially for Israel’s sake. Looking at the proposed map of the West Bank, the new areas under the control of the so-called Palestinians would provide even greater opportunity for the so-called Palestinians to fire Iranian-supplied rockets onto Israeli civilians. It would be like another Gaza on steroids.

Even if the so-called Palestinians accept the deal, once the massive infrastructure (payed for by the gullible West) is constructed, and the so-called Palestinians receive the benefits and payments, they will quickly find a way to dishonor the deal. This is evidenced by virtually innumerable historical facts.

I repeat to emphasize, let not the deal go through, not only to avoid the complete waste of the West’s taxpayers’ hard-earned funds, but especially for the sake of Israeli citizens who will suffer even more violence by the hands of the so-called Palestinians.

I would very much like for this information to reach the well-meaning President Trump and other world leaders who aren’t familiar with the Islamic “takkya” and other forms of Islamic decption that is sanctioned in the Qur’an and many other Islamic publications.
