There is no age-old Palestinian people. Most so-called Palestinians are relative newcomers to the Land of Israel.

As the British began to dismantle their Mandate [The British Mandate] and leave western Palestine, Israel's War of Independence began (November 30, 1947 May 14, 1948).

The "Mandate for Palestine" an historical League of Nations document, laid down the Jewish legal right under international law to settle anywhere in western Palestine, the area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, an entitlement unaltered in international law.

Jerusalem and the Jewish people are so intertwined that telling the history of one is telling the history of the other. For more than 3,000 years, Jerusalem has played a central role in the history of the Jews, culturally, politically, and spiritually, a role first documented in the Scriptures.

What caused the collapse of Palestinian society? In addition to serious cleavages dating to Ottoman times that existed in local Arab society, it was the absence of an alternative Arab infrastructure after the British pulled out of Mandate Palestine.

It is important to set the historical record straight: The overwhelming majority of Palestinian refugees left what was then the newly-established State of Israel on their own accord due to structural weaknesses within Palestinian society and their leadership.

Article 38 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (adopted in 1989) condemns the recruitment and involvement of children in hostilities and armed conflicts. In 2000, the UN General Assembly adopted a treaty that raises the age limit for compulsory recruitment and participation in combat to age 18.

Today the overwhelming majority of Palestinian Arabs nurture a blind hatred of Israel. They have created a cultural milieu of vengeance and violence - preparing their children to be sacrifices in a death cult.

As the British began to dismantle their Mandate [The British Mandate] and leave western Palestine, Israel's War of Independence began (November 30, 1947 May 14, 1948).

In June 1967, the combined armies of Egypt, Syria, and Jordan attacked Israel with the clear purpose expressed by Egypt's President: "Destruction of Israel." At the end of what is now known as the Six-Day War, Israel, against all odds, was victorious and in possession of the territories of Judea and Samaria [E.H., The West Bank], Sinai and the Golan Heights.

The Mandate for Palestine, an historical League of Nations document, laid down the Jewish legal right under international law to settle anywhere in western Palestine, the area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.

A strong Israel is a vital asset to the United States and the rest of the free world. To be a strong and dependable friend in a 'rough neighborhood,' Israel must have defensible borders and military prowess capable of addressing multiple challenges, which can materialize suddenly in this unstable region.

In 1947 the British put the future of western Palestine into the hands of the United Nations, the successor organization to the League of Nations, which had established the "Mandate for Palestine." A UN Commission recommended partitioning what was left of the original Mandate - western Palestine - into two new states, one Jewish and one Arab.

Ever asked yourself why during the 30 year period-between 1917 and 1947- thousands of Jews throughout the world woke up one morning and decided to leave their homes and go to Palestine.

In addition to stabbings and car ramming that have been frequently occurring at checkpoints, Palestinian Arabs claim they feel humiliated and harassed when Israeli authorities search them and their belongings; when they are prevented from traveling freely because of checkpoints, roadblocks, closures and curfews. They say they feel corralled behind security fences and ugly concrete walls.

Despite 1,300 years of Muslim Arab rule, Jerusalem was never the capital of an Arab entity, nor was it ever mentioned in the Palestine Liberation Organization's covenant until Israel regained control of East Jerusalem in the Six-Day War of 1967.

Under Israeli control, Muslims have enjoyed the very freedom which Jews were denied during Jordanian occupation.

As the British began to dismantle their Mandate [The British Mandate] and leave western Palestine, Israel’s War of Independence began (November 30, 1947‑May 14, 1948).

On April 19th 2017, two Palestinian sisters from Gaza were traveling to Jerusalem for one of them to receive cancer treatment, when a routine search of their medical supplies uncovered explosive materials concealed in tubes of medicine.

Draft resolutions attempted to brand Israel as aggressor and an illegal occupier as a result of the 1967 Six-Day War, were all defeated by either the UN General Assembly or the Security Council:

The "Mandate for Palestine" clearly differentiates between political rights-referring to Jewish self-determination as an emerging polity-and civil and religious rights, referring to guarantees of equal personal freedoms to non-Jewish residents as individuals and within select communities.

The artificiality of a Palestinian identity is reflected in the attitudes and actions of neighboring Arab nations who never established a Palestinian state.

In the aftermath of the 1967 Six-Day War, after three Arab armies converged on Israel’s nightmarish borders, even the United Nations was forced to recognize that Israel’s pre-1967 Six-Day War borders invited repeated aggression.

In 1947 the British put the future of western Palestine into the hands of the United Nations, the successor organization to the League of Nations which had established the "Mandate for Palestine."

In the first Report of the High Commissioner on the Administration of Palestine (1920-1925) presented to the British Secretary of State for the Colonies, published in April 1925, the most senior official of the Mandate, the High Commissioner for Palestine, underscored how international guarantees for the existence of a Jewish National Home in Palestine were achieved.

Beginning in 1917, the British Government ruled the land known as Palestine and ruled its inhabitants, both Arabs and Jews, for more than 30 years.

Fifty-one member countries – the entire League of Nations – unanimously declared on July 24, 1922...

Granting the right under international law for Jews to settle anywhere in western Palestine - the area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea

True peace between Israel and Palestinian Arabs cannot be based on a lie: There has never been ‘a cycle of violence’.

Resolution 242 was adopted after the 1967 Six-Day War, when Israel was attacked by, and captured territory from, Egypt, Jordan, and Syria.

House Joint Resolution 322

Jerusalem and the Jewish people are so intertwined that telling the history of one is telling the history of the other.

International law prohibits using children to fight. Article 38 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (adopted in 1989) condemns the recruitment and involvement of children in hostilities and armed conflicts.

The Origin and Nature of the "Mandate for Palestine"

Secretary General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon justifies terrorism and incitement: "It is human nature to react to occupation."

Palestinian state now has a good chance of becoming a rogue state – the kind of polity the United States is currently grappling with in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Iran and elsewhere

General Assembly Resolution 2625 emphasized that no territorial acquisition resulting from the threat or use of force shall be recognized as legal.

Today, 21 years after signing the Israel-Jordan Peace Treaty and 20 years after his tragic death, Yitzhak Rabin was lauded by President Barack Obama as a man of peace and courage, who “demonstrated that a commitment to communication, cooperation and genuine reconciliation can help change the course of history.”

Israel is the only country in the Middle East that allows genuine freedom of conscience and protects sacred sites of all faiths

Human Rights Watch, an independent NGO, investigated the phenomenon of suicide bombing. It charged that the systematic and intentional nature of those attacks as well as their scope constituted “crimes against humanity.”

Arabs deny the bond between Jews and Jerusalem; they sabotage and destroy archaeological evidence, even at the holiest place in Judaism – the Temple Mount.

Jerusalem’s Jewish connection dates back more than 3,000 years. Even after Jews lost control of the city in 70 CE, a Jewish spiritual and physical bond with Jerusalem remained unbroken, despite 2,000 years of dispersion.

Palestinian Arabs have concentrated many of their terrorist attacks on Jews in Jerusalem, hoping to win the city by an onslaught of suicide bombers who seek to make life in the City of Peace unbearable. But this is not a new tactic. Arab strategy to turn Jerusalem into a battleground began in 1920.

In the first Report of the High Commissioner on the Administration of Palestine presented to the British Secretary of State for the Colonies, published on July 30, 1921, the most senior official of the Mandate; Herbert Louis Samuel underscored how international guarantees for the existence of a Jewish National Home in Palestine were achieved.

As recently as the mid-20th century, when Arabs last controlled parts of Jerusalem, they exhibited no respect for the Holy City.

As the British began to dismantle their Mandate [The British Mandate] and leave western Palestine, Israel’s War of Independence began (November 30, 1947‑May 14, 1948).

Writing this letter is a good way for me to discuss your horrible denial of facts and the disrespect that you bestow on your parents, grandparents and your British people’s history.

Update: A Palestinian state has good chances of becoming a rogue state – the kind of polity the United States is currently grappling with in Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Iran and elsewhere.

UN Security Council Resolution 1701 was intended to resolve the 2006 Israel-Lebanon war.

The weight of the evidence of so many scholars, observers, pollsters and monitors make it almost impossible to mitigate, not to mention ignore the enormity of finding a solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict [or better described as Arab-Israeli war].

No Innocent Bystander, No Honest Broker

The artificiality of a Palestinian identity is reflected in the attitudes and actions of neighboring Arab nations who never established a Palestinian state themselves.

What kind of a society consciously and purposely sacrifices its own youth for political gain and tactical advantage?

Arabs deny the bond between Jews and Jerusalem; they sabotage and destroy archaeological evidence, even at the holiest place in Judaism – the Temple Mount.

Jerusalem and the Jewish people are so intertwined that telling the history of one is telling the history of the other.

19 years after signing the Israel-Jordan Peace Treaty and 19 years after his tragic death, Yitzhak Rabin was lauded by President Barack Obama as a man of peace and courage, who "demonstrated that a commitment to communication, cooperation, and genuine reconciliation can help change the course of history."

The “Mandate for Palestine,” an historical League of Nations document, laid down the Jewish legal right to settle anywhere in western Palestine.

Palestinian Arabs have concentrated many of their terrorist attacks on Jews in Jerusalem, hoping to win the city by an onslaught of suicide bombers who seek to make life in the City of Peace unbearable.

Unlike nation-states in Europe, modern Lebanese, Jordanian, Syrian, and Iraqi nationalities did not evolve. They were arbitrarily created by colonial powers.

Palestinian Arabs, by their first use of armed force against Israeli civilians and non-combatant Jews, in contravention of the United Nations Charter, constitute prima facie

On June 12, 2014, coinciding with the kidnapping of three Israeli teenagers, Hamas intensified its barrage of rockets and has steadily expanded not only its actions, but its radius as well, aiming as far north as the suburbs of Haifa and as deep as the holy city itself, Jerusalem.

UN Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338 have never branded Israel as an occupier or aggressor. As a matter of fact, the UN rejected every draft resolution that attempted to brand Israel as aggressor and those calling on Israel to withdraw from all the territories.

Despite 1,300 years of Muslim Arab rule, Jerusalem was never the capital of an Arab entity, nor was it ever mentioned in the Palestine Liberation Organization’s covenant until Israel regained control of Jerusalem in the Six-Day War of 1967.

It is illuminating to examine the record of the League of Arab States since the founding of the League in 1945, which is hardly a model for peaceful settlement of disputes in the spirit of the United Nations.

The “Mandate for Palestine” clearly differentiates between political rights referring to Jewish self-determination as an emerging polity—and civil and religious rights, referring to guarantees of equal personal freedoms to non-Jewish residents as individuals and within select communities.

The artificiality of a Palestinian identity is reflected in the attitudes and actions of neighboring Arab states that never established a Palestinian state or advocated one prior to the Six-Day War in 1967.

In the Six-Day War in 1967, Israel fought-off the armies of Egypt, Jordan, and Syria, gaining nearly 68,176 sq. km. of land. Since that time in expectation for genuine peace Israel relinquished a total of 61,360 sq. km. that represents 90% of the land gained in a defensive war imposed on Israel by its Arab neighbors aggression.

The weight of the evidence of so many scholars, observers, pollsters and monitors make it almost impossible to mitigate, not to mention ignore the enormity of finding a solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict.

The language of Article 49 was crafted in the wake of World War II and the Nazi occupation – an occupation that led to a war of aggression in which Nazi Germany attacked its neighbors with impunity, committing a host of atrocities against civilian populations, including deportation and displacement of local populations in occupied Europe.

The Arabs invented a special national entity in the 1960s called the Palestinians, specifically for political gain. They brand Israelis as invaders and claim the geographic area called Palestine belongs exclusively to the Arabs.

Objectively, how vulnerable is Israel? To say that Israel is a tiny nation does not begin to describe the state’s predicament. Slightly larger than the Canary Islands, more or less the size of the state of New Jersey, Israel fits into Lake Michigan with room to spare.

The language of Article 49 was crafted in the wake of World War II and the Nazi occupation – an occupation that led to a war of aggression in which Nazi Germany attacked its neighbors with impunity, committing a host of atrocities against civilian populations.

The following excerpt, stated in June 1979, is sadly still relevant 34 years later

"Neither customary international law nor the United Nations Charter acknowledges that every group of people [Palestinian Arabs included] claiming to be a nation has the right to a state of its own."

Today, 18 years after signing the Israel-Jordan Peace Treaty and 18 years after his tragic death, Yitzhak Rabin was lauded by President Barack Obama as a man of peace and courage, who "demonstrated that a commitment to communication, cooperation, and genuine reconciliation can help change the course of history."

In the Middle East, the question has been whether the PLO would make the transition from terrorist organization to peace partner; from negotiating for hostages to negotiating at the table; from an organization devoted to a single ruthless leader dedicated to planning terrorist attacks, to an enlightened pluralistic government capable of running a country.

Israelis and friends of the Jewish State alike are accustomed to the never-ending scorn that the United Nations heaps on Israel, the Middle East’s only free democracy; never mind its desire for peace with all of its Arab neighbors.

A corollary of the inalienable right of the Jewish people to its Land is the right to live in any part of Eretz Yisrael, including Judea and Samaria which are an integral part of Eretz Yisrael

Even before the Mandate for Palestine was published in July 1922, the British Government found Jewish settlement to be legal and legitimate.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s calls for a freeze on Jewish construction in Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem while Arab construction, which far exceeds Jewish development, continues unfettered – are clearly biased.

Arab Losses Caused by Unlawful Acts of Aggression in 1967

In March 2002, the Arab League met in Beirut and adopted a two-state solution proposal.

Jerusalem Reunification Day – May 8, 2013

Jerusalem Reunification Day - May 8, 2013

The Land of Israel was the birthplace of the Jewish people. Here their spiritual, religious and political identity was shaped. Here they first attained to statehood, created cultural values of national and universal significance and gave to the world the eternal Book of Books.

The UN Panel of Inquiry concerning the Flotilla Incident of May 31, 2010 concluded that contrary to Turkey’s position, Israel’s naval blockade was legal.

Between 1993 and 2001, the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Palestinian Authority (PA) signed six agreements with Israel and conducted countless meetings and summits to bring about a lasting peace between them.

Applying Double Standards by Requiring of Israel a Behavior Not Expected or Demanded of any Other Democratic Nation

Catherine Ashton on Palestinian youths.

A host of resolutions passing annually by the General Assembly are not legally binding documents by any measure. One needs only to read Article 10 of the UN Charter

It is a denial of reality to assume that only a small group of terrorists could be involved in thousands of documented acts of terror in the past 10 years by Palestinians from all walks of life.

What unites Palestinian Arabs is their opposition to Jewish nationalism and a desire to stamp it out - not aspirations for their own state. Murdering Jews is a collective Palestinian Arab effort that requires a collectively sensible response.

United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions and International treaties define crimes against humanity as the "participation in, and knowledge of, a widespread or systematic attack against a civilian population, and the multiple commissions of [such] acts ... against any civilian population."

Resolution 242 is the cornerstone for what it calls “a just and lasting peace.” It calls for a negotiated solution based on “secure and recognized boundaries” – recognizing the flaws in Israel’s previous temporary borders – the 1948 Armistice lines or the “Green Line”– by not calling upon Israel to withdraw from ‘all occupied territories,’ but rather “from territories occupied.”

Belligerent acts by the Arab state justified Israel's resort to arms in self-defense in accordance with the Law of Nations

Arab leaders falsely point to UN Resolution 194 as proof that Arab refugees have a Right of Return but what about the forgotten Jewish refugees?

Resolution 242 is the cornerstone for what it calls “a just and lasting peace.”

For more than 3,000 years, the Jewish people have looked to Jerusalem as their spiritual, political, and historical capital, even when they did not physically rule over the city. Throughout its long history, Jerusalem has served, and still serves, as the political capital of only one nation - the one belonging to the Jews.

Israelis and friends of the Jewish State alike are accustomed to the never-ending scorn the United Nations heaps on the Middle East’s only free democracy, never mind its desire for peace with all of its Arab neighbors. It may seem unfathomable that the very same institution was ultimately responsible for the creation of Israel nearly 65 years ago.

Yehuda Z. Blum, Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nations had this to say on June 11, 1979

All UN Draft Resolutions attempting to brand Israel as aggressor or illegal occupier as a result of the 1967 Six-Day War, were all defeated by either the UN General Assembly or the Security Council:

Two distinct issues exist: the issue of Jerusalem and the issue of the Holy Places. Cambridge Professor Sir Elihu Lauterpacht, Judge ad hoc of the International Court of Justice has said:

Jewish Settlements in Judea and Samaria are Perfectly Legal and Legitimate

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the evacuation of Jews from a Hebron home was based on erroneous legal advice.

Nearly ten years ago, while researching and studying the hundred years of modern Zionism, I came across writings of Professor Eugene Rostow, the past Dean of Yale Law School (1955-66) and a key draftee of the UN Resolution 242.

Livni misguided a nation as to the outcome of the 2006 Second Lebanon War, and the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701.

For all Palestinians, just leaving Bethlehem is a struggle. Getting to Jerusalem, only seven miles away, whether it's to pray, go to a doctor, visit family members, or work, means going through this Israeli checkpoint

Much of the instability in the Middle East stems from the way Europe handled the region as colonial powers.

Open Letter by Members of the U.K.'s Theater and Film Industries: "We notice with dismay and regret that Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London has invited Israel's National Theatre, Habima, to perform The Merchant of Venice in its Globe to Globe festival this coming May. The general manager of Habima has declared the invitation "an honourable accomplishment for the State of Israel." But Habima has a shameful record of involvement with illegal Israeli settlements in Occupied Palestinian Territory."

The Global March to Jerusalem, scheduled for March 30, 2012, is an anti-Israel publicity stunt that aims to have a million people marching on Israel's borders from surrounding countries - Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt - with the goal of reaching Jerusalem and highlighting the so-called "Judaization of Jerusalem."

"We have recognized the potential of the youth of Palestine. Against all the odds, [These Palestinian children] continue to learn, to work, to dream and aspire to a better future... and it is to them that we should look and to them we should listen and it is to them that I pay tribute."

Is Judea and Samaria "Occupied Territory"? Not According to U.S. Department of Defense Definition

Historically, before the Arabs fabricated the Palestinian people as an exclusively Arab phenomenon, no such group existed.

It is remarkable to note the April 22, 1925 Report of the first High Commissioner on the Administration of Palestine, Sir Herbert Louis Samuel describing Jewish Peoplehood

In an interview with Republican Presidential Primary front-runner and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, a former Professor and Historian, he explains his position on the Arab-Israeli conflict and states that the Palestinians are "an invented Palestinian people, who are in fact Arabs."

Update: Today, fifteen years after signing the Israel-Jordan Peace Treaty and 14 years after his tragic death, Yitzhak Rabin was lauded by President Barack Obama as a man of peace and courage, who "demonstrated that a commitment to communication, cooperation, and genuine reconciliation can help change the course of history."

Freeze on Jewish Construction is a Double Standard

The speech we expect our prime minister to deliver.

Successive Israeli governments have failed to recognize the supreme importance of the “Mandate for Palestine” [24 July, 1922] a historical League of Nations document that set forth the irrevocable Jewish legal rights to settle anywhere in western Palestine, the area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, an entitlement unaltered by international law and valid to this day.

A Palestinian state now has a good chance of becoming a rogue state – the kind of polity the United States is currently grappling with in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Iran and elsewhere

The Palestinian Authority is expected to seek recognition as an independent sovereign state in the coming General Assembly of 2011, but it will not find the law to support such a move via the General Assembly. The UN Charter does not grant the General Assembly or the International Court of Justice (ICJ) the authority to enact or amend international law.

Palestinian Arabs Claim they are Ready for Statehood, Reality Tells a Different Story

According to media reports, on July 11, 2011 President Obama invited the other members of the Quartet – Russia, the UN, and the EU – as well as representatives from China and the Arab League, to the White House for a summit on Israel. Israel was not invited, but the Arab League was. It seems that the U.S. Administration is convinced that the Arab League can contribute to the deliberations.

The Antiboycott laws under the U.S. Export Administration Act of 1979 [as amended in August 1999] were written specifically to protect Israel from the Arab League and other Moslem countries.

No legal right shall spring from a wrong and Palestinian Arabs illegal aggression against the territorial integrity and political independence of Israel, cannot and should not be rewarded.

"Repeat a lie often enough and people will begin to believe it." - Nazi propaganda master Joseph Goebbels

Starting a civil war in 1947 after the Arabs rejected the United Nations Partition Plan, Palestinian Arabs became belligerents in the conflict. Rather than accept a Jewish state after five-and-a-half months of warfare, Palestinian Arabs called upon their brethren from seven surrounding countries to invade and crush the nascent Jewish state.

Intra-Palestinian politics remain on a steady course. Following a carefully-choreographed rapprochement with Hamas, the more “moderate” Fatah forces, still trained and funded by millions of U.S. tax dollars, will quickly resume their ritualized terror attacks against Israel.

In an interview with the German news paper Der Spiegel, the late Israeli diplomat Abba Eban, described Israel's pre-Six-Day War borders as "Auschwitz" lines.

International law expert Professor Eugene V. Rostow, a key draftee of the 1967 UN Security Council Resolution 242, examining the claim for Arab Palestinian self-determination on the basis of law, concluded:

A Response from the Office of Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu by Ron Dermer, Senior Advisor to the Israeli Prime Minister to Time magazine's managing director.

Calls for a freeze on Jewish construction in disputed Territories - while Arab construction, which far exceeds Jewish development, continues unfettered - are clearly biased.

Europe seeks to play the role of neutral mediator in the Arab-Israeli conflict. Yet for a host of reasons – most of them self-serving – Europe has demonstrated a clear pro-Arab bias, including insensitivity to Israel’s security needs.

Israel's pre-1967 borders reflected the deployment of Israeli and Arab forces on the ground after Israel's War of Independence in 1948.

Mr. President, your decision to recognize a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders betrays your country's historical commitment to safe guard the Jewish people in their National Home in Palestine, the area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea including the West Bank and Gaza.

A UN coalition sought to rewrite history by labeling the Territories 'Occupied Territories,' thus endowing them with an aura of bogus statehood and a false history. They used capital letters for 'Occupied Territories' and then shifted to 'Palestinian Occupied Territories' and 'Palestine,' as if title or ownership could be assigned out of thin air.

According to Asharq al-Awsat, [Arabic International Daily] U.S. offers in secret negotiations that Israel lease lands in east Jerusalem from future Palestinian state for 40-99 years [HAARETZ.com October 29, 2010].

Once again, a report has blamed an event almost solely on Israel while refusing to assign responsibility or even suitably investigate any other party.

American Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has publicly canvassed the possibility of considering alternative solutions on the future sovereignty of the West Bank as the current negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority to create a new Arab state between Israel and Jordan - the so called "two-state solution" - continue to go nowhere.

The 'Obama Doctrine' and Israeli Strategic Planning

Palestine/Eretz Israel, a National Home of Only One People.

The international community should be denouncing Turkey, not Israel, for the loss of life on the so-called "Freedom Flotilla."

In urgent matters of national survival and geopolitics, words matter. The still generally unchallenged language referring provocatively to an Israeli "Occupation" always overlooks the pertinent and incontestable history of the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) and Gaza.

Before the Zionist movement assumed concrete form, among the first to express approval of the return of the Jews to Palestine was John Adams, the second President of the United States (1797-1801) who wrote to Major Mordecai Manuel Noah, the first American Zionist, as follows...

President Obama's naive belief in rationality could turn Israeli cities into cemeteries

I weep as I witness outrageous verbal attacks on Israel. What makes these verbal assaults and distortions all the more painful is that they are being orchestrated by President Obama.

In the matter of Iranian nuclearization, U.S. President Barack Obama still doesn't get it. Economic sanctions will never work. In Tehran's national decision-making circles, absolutely nothing can compare to the immense power and status that would presumably come with membership in the Nuclear Club.

Jerusalem, it seems, is at the physical center of the Arab-Israeli conflict. In fact, two distinct issues exist: the issue of Jerusalem and the issue of the Holy Places.

Despite 1,300 years of Muslim Arab rule, Jerusalem was never the capital of an Arab entity, nor was it ever mentioned in the Palestine Liberation Organization's covenant until Israel regained control of Jerusalem in the Six-Day War of 1967.

Jerusalem, wrote historian Martin Gilbert, is not a 'mere' city. "It holds the central spiritual and physical place in the history of the Jews as a people."

The 'Two Jerusalems' Myth

"Do you know what it means to find yourselves face to face with a madman," asks Luigi Pirandello's Henry IV. "Madmen, lucky folk, construct without logic, or rather with a logic that flies like a feather." What is true for individuals is sometimes also true for states.

The following article appears exactly as it was written by Professor Beres 21 years ago. It is especially important to reconsider at this moment, when U.S. President Barack Obama, still-embracing the so-called Road Map, pushes Israel to accept a Palestinian state via the five-part Mitchell Plan.

Inappropriate Use of the Fourth Geneva Convention

All You Need to Know About the Geneva Convention Article 49

"Applying double standards by requiring of [Israel] a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation" is antisemitism.

Calls for a freeze on Jewish construction in Judea and Samaria – while Arab construction, which far exceeds Jewish development, continues unfettered – are clearly biased and by itself a violation of international law.

The wording of UN Resolution 242 clearly reflects the contention that none of the territories were occupied territories taken by force in an unjust war.

Justice Richard Goldstone and the United Nations Human Rights Council, sought to rewrite history.

Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations.

To finance, recruit, train, house, feed, transport, kidnap and murder innocent Jews, is a collective Palestinian Arab effort that demands a collectively responsible response from the international community.

Arab leaders will see the Goldstone Report as justification to continue to incite, inflame and encourage Palestinian Arabs to pin every problem they face as individuals and as a society on Israel.

Established as a world body to safeguard humanity from injustice and to protect the world from the horrors of war, the UN has been hijacked to advance an agenda that is anti-Israel and anti-American, neglecting its responsibility and losing all respect.

In many respects, the International Court of Justice's (ICJ) Advisory Opinion on Israel's security barrier does not deserve to be dignified by a learned rebuttal.

A corollary of the inalienable right of the Jewish people to its Land is the right to live in any part of Eretz Yisrael, including Judea and Samaria which are an integral part of Eretz Yisrael.

President Obama: "And I also mentioned to President Abbas in a frank exchange that it was very important to continue to make progress in reducing the incitement and anti-Israel sentiments that are sometimes expressed in schools and mosques and in the public square, because all those things are impediments to peace."

Before putting together the final touches on your anticipated 'Peace Speech' expected to be delivered in Egypt on June 4, 2009, I request of you a moment or two, to read what your fellow legislators had to say in the year 1922.

The U.S. 2009: "Two-state solution is the only solution" Is it?

The Partition Plan and the "Two State Solution"...

"Time Running Out For A Two-State Solution?" - CBS News, January 25, 2009

Is Israel indirectly recognizing and negotiating with a terrorist organization dedicated to its destruction?

Next week, the President of the United States, George W. Bush will pay a formal visit to Israel and to the Palestinian Authority. On the eve of his arrival, the major unanswered question is where exactly does the President stand? Actually, we do know not for sure, because he has not really tipped his cards.

Last week in Jerusalem, U.S. Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, articulated some of her personal views which ultimately found their way into the press.
