Move Arab Refugees back to their
Respective Home of Origin

The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is very near on taking a vote on whether the Arabs that call themselves Palestinians should acquire a sovereign nation even if doing so will steal the land of Jewish heritage from Israel which includes ONE-HALF of Jerusalem the Israeli capital city.
I realize I am in the global minority on what land belongs to whom when it comes to Judea and Samaria (known as the West Bank by those who believe Palestinian propaganda); however I am a Bible guy and definitely NOT a Quran guy. Biblically much of the land under control by Muslims was God-given land promised to Abraham, Isaac (NOT ISHMAEL) and Jacob (renamed Israel by God Almighty); the little sliver of land the Jewish State has as sovereign land is not the land deserved.
Biblical Christians agree with Jewish Zionists about the land of Israel that should be Israel’s. Now I realize as a Biblical Christian/Christian Zionist my reasoning for the “why” of a united Jerusalem and a Greater Israel may differ from Jewish Zionists; nonetheless the goal is the same.
Any Muslim claim is based on Islamic imperialism after the period of pseudo-prophet (probably really “profit” since Islamic imperialism was based on booty and slaves as much as conversion) Mohammed’s death. The Jews en masse were given the boot by Romans that grew weary of Jews desiring an independence from Roman rule roughly between 70 AD and 135AD. A few Jews were retained in the land of Israel renamed Palestina by spiteful Romans. You can see the parallel between Palestina and the modern rendition of Palestine. The Romans adopted the name Palestina as a derivative of the Jewish ancient enemy actually vanquished by the Kingdom of David and Solomon – the Philistines. The primary people left in the Holy Land were the Aramaic people after the Roman enforced Diaspora of Jews; but some Jewish communities in Israel flourished. As Rome turned to Christianity so did most of the subjects under Roman rule. This included the Aramaeans. After the wars between the Byzantine Empire (East Roman) and Parthian Empire (Persian Zoroastrians) weakened them immensely, Imperialistic Muslims stepped into the vacuum and conquered the cradle of Christianity in the circa 638 AD. The Aramaeans that attempted to retain their cultural heritage maintained their Christianity for hundreds of years. Eventually Muslim oppression took its toll on the Aramaean peoples and conversions to Islam began alongside the cultural exchange of Arab civilization and the Arabic language.
So check this out: the Philistines were not Arabic and did not speak Arabic even of any ancient rendition of the Arabic language. The Philistines were closer in relation to the Phoenicians which also established the ancient Roman enemy of Carthage. The Hebrew tribes of Israel found themselves expelled except for a substantial remnant in other Jewish communities in Israel. And even in the case of the remnant Jews came back in small doses and then larger doses after the Spanish Inquisition. Even the City of David – Jerusalem – began to grow in a Jewish population reaching the majority in the mid-1800's.
When an Arab or an Arab calling them self a Palestinian stands up and tells you the people designated as Palestinians are an ancient people they are lying or are deluded or both. The closest thing to ancient for the Arab refugees was 1948 when 6 to 9 (I never get the number right) invading Arab Armies lost to little Israel thus losing their honor in allowing a non-Muslim nation to exist in their midst. The appellation of Palestinian to these Arab refugees did not occur until after Arab Armies again failed to destroy Israel in 1967. The year 1967 is the date that Israel liberated and regained control of all of Jerusalem (Where the Jewish Quarter existed prior to 1948 incidentally) and all of Judea and Samaria (renamed West Bank via conquest by then Transjordan in 1948).
After the 1948 Arab-Israeli war Transjordan became Jordan because its monarch decided that the land east of the Jordan River was the East Bank and the land occupied by Jordan’s Arab Legion would be the West Bank. So where is the Justice in forcing Israel to accept creating a nation by international fiat made up of the descendants of Arab refugees created by Jew-hating Arabs and Muslims lying and trying to destroy the Jewish State of Israel?
The Arabs expelled over a million Jews from their countries.
Gordon James Klingenschmitt, who was booted out of the Navy Chaplain Corps for praying in the name of Jesus, has initiated a petition to Congress to stay true to:
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the Secretary of State should withhold United States contributions to the regularly assessed biennial budget of the United Nations for purposes of the General Assembly of the United Nations if the General Assembly adopts a resolution in favor of recognizing a state of Palestine outside of or prior to a final status agreement negotiated between, and acceptable to, the State of Israel and the Palestinians.
AND
Expressing support for the State of Israel’s right to defend Israeli sovereignty, to protect the lives and safety of the Israeli people, and to use all means necessary to confront and eliminate nuclear threats posed by the Islamic Republic of Iran, including the use of military force if no other peaceful solution can be found within reasonable time to protect against such an immediate and existential threat to the State of Israel.
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— …

Frustration with Palestinian Hatred of Jews
Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel made a secret offer to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to straight away give up 60% of Judea and Samaria (i.e. the West Bank) to create a sovereign State of Palestine. (The Arabs have a state its called Jordan).
Personally I don’t believe Israel should give up one inch of land for a sovereign Palestine state. The Arabs that call themselves Palestinians exist solely because 6 (or so) Arab-Muslim invading armies felt they had the overwhelming numbers to terminate the nascent modern Israel. Hence many Arabs left Israeli controlled land in 1948 roughly for two reasons: either they heeded the warning of Arabs to get out of the way or they fled for fear that a Jewish State would do to Arabs that which Arabs would do to Jews. If Arabs intended to commit a bloody Jewish genocide, fleeing Arabs were concerned Jews would get them in the same way before the invading armies had accomplished the intended genocide.
Either way these Arab refugees were set up by the losing Arab armies in refugee camps with the purpose of having an excuse to continue to attack Israel to annihilate Jews to liberate the Arab refugees that were created by the first war in 1948. At the same time the Muslim Middle East and the Muslim North Africa expelled hundreds of thousands of Jewish taking their property and money as the Jews received the boot. The reality is the Jewish refugees numbered more than the Arab refugees that were refused repatriation by the losing Arab Armies.
Here is the deal then: Arab expected a return of land to Arabs that fled hoping to escape the chaos of war while Jews were expelled penniless and under actual threat of violence and death en masse. Does ANYONE see the double standard? Fortunately free Israel was more than willing to take in the Jewish refugees that were expelled from the Muslims.
In 1967 Israel won a war and liberated its Arab occupied territory in which Egypt lost territory and Jordan lost land they annexed at the end of the 1948 war and Syria lost the Golan Heights they annexed in the 1948 war. Egypt was the only losing nation that actually lost original territory. The Sinai was returned to Egypt but the Gaza Strip which was not original territory was retained by Israel. The land dubbed as the West Bank by Jordan’s annexation had returned to the Jewish people. The Golan Heights although it had a minority Jewish population prior to 1948 was a part of the created British Palestine Mandate. The original purpose of the Mandate in Palestine was to create a Jewish State and the land originally termed Transjordan was for the Arab population. After 1948 Transjordan became Jordan because of the contention that the East and West Banks of the Jordan River were now Arabic. AND yet the new Jordan only allowed a portion of the Arab refugees a citizenship for fear if the refugees outnumbered the Hashemite Kingdom’s power base of Bedouin soldiers may result in a dethroning. Indeed a significant number of self-termed Palestinians were expelled by Jordan when Arafat’s Palestine Liberation Organization became a military competitor for the rule of Jordan.
So what is the point of this brief refresher on Arab/Israeli history? The point is an Israel State has offered time after time to accept a sovereign Palestine State. Each time a PLO Arafat or PLO/PA Abbas has refused the terms provided by Israel. Those terms incidentally were always a threat to Israeli National Security, but the self-described Palestinians refused a deal that would not include Jerusalem and a return of land abandoned by fleeing Arabs in 1948.
The demand for repatriation of land abandoned by Arabs who expected to return to their land after a Jewish slaughter is that the descendants of the original refugees multiplied way beyond a point that would allow a Jewish Homeland to be a sustainable place for returning Jews of the Diaspora.
I am certain that self-victimized Arabs do not care about the demographics that would render a Western style democracy into a descent of a Hitler-like polity. The polity that allowed a democratic post WWI Germany was utilized by Adolf Hitler to render the democracy irrelevant while the German state evolved into a Nazi dictatorship. The same outcome would occur in Israel if Arabs were allowed to return to the property they abandoned under the presumed certainty that Jews would cease to exist in the old Palestine Mandate.
The Arab-Palestine stand is they were in the Holy Land before Jews denying the existence of a Jewish Temple and an age old Jewish Kingdom and presence as a national homeland for thousands of years. The reality is a Muslim presence has only existed since 634 A.D. after conquest. That Muslim presence was not a majority until oppression and Islamic intolerance led inhabitance to convert to live a better life.
This essay was inspired by an essay entitled, “Another Missed Opportunity” by Yechiel Shabi. Shabi’s essay expresses the Jewish frustration with self-determined Palestinians who seem to eternally reject Israeli overtures to create a sovereign Palestinian. It is especially frustrating for it seems the only path a Palestinian will accept toward statehood is one in which Israel is set-up to be destroyed.
