Why are Palestinian Arabs Disliked?

by Rabbi Steven Pruzansky, Esq.

Why does the world dislike Palestinian Arabs?

This is the inescapable conclusion derived from the disparate treatment shown to Palestinian Arab refugees as opposed to other global refugees. Just in the last few decades, the Western world has absorbed millions of refugees fleeing sundry conflicts – Iraqi refugees, Afghan refugees, and Syrian refugees, Haitian refugees, not to mention the millions of illegal migrants that the United States has welcomed from South and Central America and from distressed areas on earth.

Only Palestinian Arab refugees are treated differently. The other refugees were escorted out of war zones to safe havens as international humanitarian law requires. They were not told that they must remain in the crossfire of conflict or that the world will surge humanitarian aid to them.

Egypt, without repercussion, was allowed to deny safe passage for Gazan civilians through its territory. It is not only that Hamas has physically barred their departure, which is cruel enough, but logical given their effective use as human shields against Israel. It is also that the United States, as repeatedly asserted by Antony Blinken, has made it one of its strategic goals that not a single Gazan be displaced.

So, they are forced to suffer and die, some through direct execution by Hamas and others by indirect execution – compelled to serve as human shields and dramatize their suffering for the world and thus besmirching Israel’s image.

One reason might be widespread recognition of the fabricated Palestinian national identity, a fiction that is roughly a century old and invented primarily to thwart Jewish nationalism. It is not a group that has a historic homeland or national identity, which was ever independent, or that can sustain an independent state, the delusions of the world notwithstanding.

n whatever country they have lived, they routinely fomented strife, violence, social unrest, and even civil war. Jordan, Lebanon, and Kuwait are among the Arab countries that have suffered severely since so-called “Palestinians” migrated to their countries. Gazans have no place to go because even in the Arab world they are not wanted as those countries fear the consequences of even temporarily housing these people.

Nevertheless, the world’s dislike of Palestinian Arabs pales before the world’s hatred of Israel and the Jewish national idea. Much of the world – including nations deemed our friends – desperately does not want Israel to win our current wars.

It is inevitable that these Gazans civilians will return to terror at the earliest opportunity, under the name Hamas or under some group that will bear a new name but retain its jihadist hatred of Israel and Jews.

It should be clear to all that much of Gaza has been rendered uninhabitable and will be so for years to come. Evacuation of Gazan civilians – in numbers that are relatively miniscule compared to the other global refugees evacuated in the last two decades – is the most moral approach to their future wellbeing, the stability of this region, and the security of the State of Israel.

The war in Gaza will not be won militarily or politically as long as a hostile population survives that will regroup as terrorists, recruit more avid participants from the youngsters in that population.

Evacuation of Gazans to the West will ultimately please the Arab world also, especially those who have suffered from Palestinian violence and intimidation. There is plenty of money in the Arab world to contribute to this resettlement; indeed, it will cost far less to resettle them than to rebuild Gaza.

Hatred of Israel is a powerful motivator in much of the world. A strong Israel frightens the West – including secular Europe and America – as it makes the Bible and its prophecies all too real. It is high time that we shift the narrative of morality, expose the immorality of the West who also use the Palestinian Arabs as pawns, and do what is right and proper.

Food for Thought: by Steven Shamrak

The war in Ukraine has been going on for 2 years and 8 months. The war had displaced 3.7 million people within the country, and forced 6.3 million leave country as refugees and asylum-seekers abroad. The US Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Ukraine only 6 times since and never insisted on a ceasefire.  The civil war in Sudan has been going on for 1 year, 6 months. By 31 December 2023, 6.1 million Sudanese are internally displaced, and over 1.5 million people had fled as refugees and asylum-seekers across the Africa. Blinken has never visited Sudan. Since the war in Gaza and Lebanon began, Blinken visited Israel 11 times. Each time he is pressuring the Jewish state to sign ceasefire deals with Hamas and Hezbollah, as a part of a global anti-Israel smear campaign, and an attempt to save both terrorist groups. The UN and the global anti-Semitic community did not try to save Al-Qaeda, while the US and its allies conducted “the global war on terror” in Afghanistan for 20 years!

Mad Dog Barking

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has promised a “teeth-breaking” response to Israel and the United States after Israel targeted Iranian military sites in retaliatory strikes late last month. “The enemies, both the US and the Zionist regime (Israel), should know that they will definitely receive a teeth-breaking response for what they are doing against Iran and the resistance front,” said Khamenei. Khamenei’s remarks signal a departure from Iran’s initial attempts to downplay the severity of the strikes carried out by Israel on October 25.

Biden Demands and Blackmails Israel

The Biden administration is putting maximum pressure on Israel, threatening to suspend military aid if Israel does not fully implement its demands before November 13. Over half of all humanitarian aid to enter Gaza is taken over by the Hamas terror group, and used to fund its continued terror operations. The increased humanitarian aid taken over to Hamas is significantly extending the war in Gaza. (Did Biden provide financial help to the Taliban while conducting war in Afghanistan?)

Who is Leading Hamas?

In the attempt to revive hostage deal negotiations, Qatar is facing the challenge of determining who the leader of Hamas is, after the death of Yahya Sinwar. A day after Egypt proposed a 48-hour ceasefire coinciding with the release of hostages and Palestinian prisoners, Hamas rejected the plan. Although the Qataris are involved in discussions with Hamas officials, it is uncertain who in the terror group has the last word during negotiations.

The Agreement with UNRWA is Cancelled

Foreign Minister Israel Katz officially announced the cancellation of the 1967 agreement between Israel and UNRWA, the UN agency for so-called Palestinian refugees. The Foreign Minister also stated, “Don’t believe those who tell you that there is no substitute for UNRWA. Already now the vast majority of humanitarian aid is delivered through other organizations, and only 13 percent of it is delivered through UNRWA.”

Hezbollah Losing Popular Support

For the first time in over four decades, the Lebanese terrorist group, Hezbollah, appears frail. From the Christians to the Druze, and from the Sunnis to the dominant Shiites, there is a massive revulsion being expressed against the Iranian proxy terrorist group Hezbollah that had bullied its way toward becoming a mafia-like state within a state. Hezbollah’s military is weakened, but its civil branches are deeply embedded in Lebanese society.

No more New Foreign Consulates in Jerusalem

The Knesset approved a law prohibiting the establishment of new diplomatic missions in Jerusalem that are not embassies. “Jerusalem is the core of our sovereignty,” stated MK Dan Illouz, asserting that the new law “makes it clear once and for all that Jerusalem is ours and is not for sale.” Currently, only five countries – the US, Guatemala, Honduras, Kosovo, and Papua New Guinea – have embassies in Jerusalem. (The law should also apply to the status of already existing consulates in the Israeli capital. capital.)

Hezbollah Rocket Hit UNIFIL HQ

A Hezbollah rocket struck a UNIFIL headquarters in the area of Naqoura, southern Lebanon, earlier last week (Tuesday). UNIFIL reported a number of casualties resulting from the rocket impact on its headquarters. “The Hezbollah terrorist organization continues to systematically violate international law, endangering both Israeli civilians and international organizations operating in the region,” the IDF said. (No international condemnation. Not even reported by media.)

UNRWA Inflames Jew-Hatred

The United Nations must remove Gaza’s children, women, the sick and the elderly from Gaza. There are 650,356 Gazans already registered with UNRWA – start with them. Unsuccessful attempts by the UN to procure a ceasefire – rather than demanding the unconditional surrender of Gaza’s Hamas Government – underscored the UN’s concern more with allowing Gaza to survive to fight another day rather than see these Gazan terrorists and their infrastructure wiped out and destroyed. There is no pressure on Egypt to open the border and let the ‘innocent’ civilians inside Gaza to cross to the Sinai and move to the relative safety offered by 10 refugee camps located in Jordan and 12 refugee camps located in Syria – or anywhere else in the world. (Why do their “brothers” in Arab and Muslim countries not want them? Why wouldn’t Egypt open its border and let Gazans escape from the war zone?)

North Gaza – 600 Terrorists Surrendered

The IDF’s military operation in Jabalya in the northern Gaza Strip came as a surprise to the terrorists in the area. Hamas terrorists had gathered in Jabalya, prompting the IDF to encircle the area, evacuate the civilian population, isolate the terrorists, and prevent them from escaping. Approximately 600 terrorists surrendered, while hundreds of others were eliminated.

Quotes of the Week:

“The Biden administration’s pathological obsession with undermining Israel is endangering the national security of America and our allies. A visit by a minister from Israel’s government to a site inside Israel is not a change in any (idiotic) status quo arrangement, and it should not be controversial for a Jew to visit the holiest site in Judaism. The Biden administration has consistently sought to undermine Israel’s security and sovereignty over its territory. It prohibited even mentioning the ‘Abraham Accords,’ sought to open a Palestinian consulate in Israel’s capital Jerusalem, unleashed the FBI against the Israeli army, and publicly ostracized parts of Israel’s democratically-elected government. Meanwhile, the administration is pouring over a billion dollars into Palestinian (controlled) areas.” – Senator Ted Cruz criticized Biden administration – This is not how a ‘best friend’ behaves.

Who is the Occupier?

by Steven Shamrak

It has become very common and ‘trendy’ to say and write that Israel is an occupier of Arab land. Unfortunately, many true Zionists are exhausted after challenging this baseless Arab and anti-Israel propaganda rhetoric year after year. Therefore, even many Jews start to believe this lie!

I prefer to rely on facts not emotional or politically motivated fantasies. I would say, and historical facts support it, that Arabs are occupiers of Jewish land.

As part of the Palestine mandate: Trans-Jordan, the Golan Heights, Judea, Samaria, and Gaza were allocated for creation of the Jewish State. The British government was appointed as a custodian of the mandate. After Jews started to return to their homeland in the 1880’s and created agriculture and industries in the desolated land of ancient Israel, economic migration of Arabs followed. Later, the British helped to facilitate the politicly motivated migration of Arabs/Muslims to Jewish land. Jews were not allowed to live in Trans-Jordan, but Arabs were encouraged to move and live on the Western bank of the river Jordan.

In 1922 the British illegally separated Trans-Jordan from mandate in exchange for control of the Sinai and gave the Golan Heights to France. The League of Nations – controlled by UK and France – rubber stamped the ‘deal’. So, I would like to ask you now, who is the real occupier?

We must stop believing in the lies of Jewish enemies!  We must set our own goals and regain the rightful ownership of the Jewish land! Jewish people and Israel have spiritual, historical, moral and legal rights to all Jewish land! We must ignore the ‘legal’ illegality imposed on Jews by, generally, an anti-Semitic and oil dependent international community.
