Stirring The Debate

 

How many wars against Israel do the Palestinians and by extension the Arabs have to lose before they will except that Israel and the Israelis are not going anywhere? Each succeeding war or infatada has only made their plight worse than before and hardened the resolve of the Israelis.

Let's be clear it is the Arabs that declared war against Israel in 1947 not the other way around. Although the Arabs feel they can tacticly lose repeated wars and still triumph in the end, the Israelis implicitly understand that they cannot lose even one. To think that if they were to lose, that the Arabs would not commit another horrific genocide is to deny history and their own declared intent. One virtual constant of history is that people who wage war against their neighbors and lose is that they lose territory as well. The shifting map of Europe over the centuries is ample proof of that. Who among us would propose that the Germans have a "right of return" to those territories east of the Oder river that now comprise nearly a third of Poland? It absurd on its face.

  1. That the Fakestinians don't have a homeland now is entirely their own fault.

    1. But they do have a Homeland. It's called Jordan. Over 80% of Jordan's population is Palistinian. But then Arafat an his PLO attempted a coup, lost and got expelled. So they went to Lebanon and set in motion a civil war that all but destroyed a beautiful country the one and only peaceful place in the region.

  2. I don't believe that is correct. A good portion of Europe should also be red.

      I assume they were showing mostly Muslim countries.

  4. How many wars? They only need to win one. Unlike the Isrealis, the moslems won't leave any of their enemies left alive to contest this again. The Israelis know that and they know they don't have anyplace they can flee to.
