Palestine never existed as a state, but as territories of other states

 

Regardless of the judgement of the International Court of Justice, there never was a State of Palestine. There were territories that belonged to other states that went to war against Israel and having lost wars against Israel they lost part of the lands that they controlled. Talking about war crimes is an idiocy. The said wars happened a long time ago and for decades lands taken from Arab states have been controlled by Israel.

The Organisation of the United Nations has no right to go around telling what can be done or cannot be done. It can only make statements that more often than not are no more than empty words because reality on the ground takes precedence. Any settlement can only be kept or changed by force and force is something that the Organisation of the United Nations doesn't have. Whether the rest of the world likes it or not, the Golan Heights - for example - are part of the State of Israel having belonged in the past to Syria. The sames goes for Gaza and West Bank. In a treaty signed by Israel and Egypt, the Sinai Peninsula was recovered by Egypt. 

Whether the rest of the world accepts Jerusalem as capital of Israel is irrelevant. Who controls Jerusalem? Israel. Therefore, the logical conclusion is that as long as Jerusalem is controlled by Israel and is an integral part of the State of Israel whatever the world says about it will not change an iota. All the talk about Jerusalem being an international city is bollocks.

World history is full of 'this belongs to me and this belongs to you'. Looking at the map of Europe itself, national borders have changed after a series of conflicts. The Europe of Metternich is a clear example. Looking at the map of the Americas much of a similar nature can be said. Much of the south of today's United States are occupied territories. They used to belong to Mexico and to other countries including Spain. The Louisiana was bought from France. 

The Six-Day War was a time of territorial acquisitions for Israel. Egypt, Syria and others waged war against Israel and lost. Their intention had been to wipe out of the recently formed State of Israel. So, they lost. Bad luck. Are they called 'occupied territories' because Syria and others didn't sign a peace treaty with Israel? Well, for all we know, for decades the attackers have not been at war with Israel and this led to a status quo. With peace settlements or without peace settlements, the reality on the ground is that for decades acquired territories have been under Israeli rule and wil presumably be under Israeli rule for the foreseable future.

There is an unhealthy war of words that is not conducive to peaceful coexistence. If the rest of the world were to be treated according to the same standards Israel is measured with, there wouldn't be peace anywhere. European countries would be at war with each other trying to recover 'occupied territories'. Is it about Danzig and Memel or Gdansk? What about huge chunks of Germany given to Poland and others? What about parts of Italy and Austria that are now part of neighboring countries? What about the status of Baltic Republics? Are we going to suddenly start ignoring reality?

I heard a Member of the House of Lords talk about what is happening today in the Soviet Union. Really? Apparently the noble Lord is not aware of the fact that the Soviet Union came to an end in 1991. It is all too good to talk about the UN Plan for the partition of Palestine, but it is useless talk. 

Much of what Western politicians talk via mass media is sheer nonsense when it comes to geopolitics. Just a few days ago, there was a military coup in Myanmar (Burma). Suddenly, we heard them talking about taking action against the military in Burma. They talk as if they owned Burma which, of course, they don't. Burma, apart from being a sovereign nation is a sovereign nation with close ties with China. China and some European countries have huge economic interests in Burma. The UN, the USA, or whoever else, can protest about the status of Muslim minorities in Burma until they become red in the face. Nothing is going to change.

In the meantime, those who pretend to have a say about what is happening elsewhere should pay closer attention to what is actually happening in their own countries. 

 

 

Adolf Hitler: If you can take it and keep it, it is yours

Adolf Hitler: If you can take it and keep it, it is yours

The words of Adolf Hitler taken from Mein Kampf reflect the reality of Israeli politics supported by the United of America,

While the United States of America has publicly stood against territorial acquisition by others in the past, the United States of America was based on Adolf Hitler's idea that you could take somebody else's land and make it yours. Based on the Doctrine of Predestination, starting with the thirteen colonies that were the original foundation of the USA via following wars against Spain and against Mexico, the United States of America took land by force and made it part of the United States of America. There were failed attempt like the Walker's Adventure in Mexico where the USA flag was planted for a brief time before the attempt turned to absolute failure but the intention has always existed to continue such expansion by force.

When territorial acquisition by force is not a feasible option, comes colonisation using the economy as a tool for territorial domination. Israeli occupation and annexation obviously follows Adolf Hitler's doctrine. Building settlements in occupied territories is nothing new. Do you remember Sudetenland and the München Pakt of 1938? If you increase your population in occupied territories you can then claim that the land is yours and you can take with little opposition. This is what is actually happened in what is known as the West Bank. So there is little new there. If you can take it and keep it, it is yours. 

The approach towards Syria is very much part of the said approach by weakening any opposition of Israeli expansionist campaign based not just in political and financial convenience but also on religious ideas. The whole concept of the people of Israel being the chosen people by God is nothing more than the Aryan Doctrine of power and control of the Third Reich. Recent legislation passed by the Israeli Knesset is exactly the affirmation of Jewish superiority over the Arab population of Israel that states the Jews are the Master Race and Arabs are there only to serve the Master Race.

In the meantime, any criticism of the policies of repression, occupation, annexation and colonisation is classified as Anti-Semitism.
