The loudest detractors of Israel have no interest in examining the history that has saddled this century with the explosivity of the Middle East.
Sure, Islam is much to blame being fueled by belligerence and hate for non-muslims. It was, however, the antisemitic, anti-Christian European aristocrats that initiated what has become never-ending aggression. And the United States abetted and participated in catalyzing the ongoing debacle.
Go back to the 1978 Camp David Accords that led to the signing of the Oslo Accords in 1993 that promoted autonomy in Gaza and the Palestinian Authority to an invented people calling themselves Palestinians.
The 1978 meeting, overseen by President Jimmy Carter, occurred amid the constant Arab-Israeli conflicts, and in relation to the United Nations passing, in 1975, Resolution 3379 claiming Zionism to be racism. Just a lowly college student at the time, who studied Jewish history (before it was modified under international pressure), the resolution drove me to research and write a paper refuting the concept. (No, it wasn’t published anywhere though my professor never returned it, keeping it for his own records after awarding an outstanding grade.)
UNR 3379 prodded the meetings that professed peace, but actually empowered refugees to build permanent camps on contiguous territory where they could continue harassing and terrorizing the one nation that had offered them citizenship, Israel.
These self-invoked refugees, under the tutelage of Yasser Arafat’s Palestinian Liberation Organization, built their own prison that ended up forever isolating them from the rest of the Arab nations. It was Arafat who siphoned off for himself billions of dollars from UN and donated funds, while his “people” remained living in squalor. The political gain for him was to manipulate the West into pressuring Israel to give-up even more of its already carved-up historic inheritance in spite of regaining territory in 1967 and 1973.
And the United States was a dupe to the whole affair, sponsoring the multiple summits at Camp David.
Why is this important? Because it set the stage for the continuing hostilities of the “Palestinians” against the beleaguered Israel. Immediately after the British Mandate dissolved, five Arab forces attacked the newly decreed Israel. When the battles ceased and armistice was declared in 1949, from all appearances Israel was purposefully reforged with indefensible borders.
The zig-zag boundary removed its capital of antiquity, Jerusalem, and placed it in Jordanian hands, the original “two-state” solution. The UN recast the map into Israel and Jordan, flanked by British Iraq, and Lebanon and Syria that were under French rule. Jordan was drawn sans historical precedence, installing a tribal leader from the Arabian peninsula to found the Hashemite dynasty. Neither was Iraq that territory’s given name before 1921, the British setting another Hashemite heir as king. Historically it was known as Mesopotamia.
It was the United States that housed the temporary headquarters of the United Nations in Lake Success, New York, where it convened to ratify Resolution 181, opening a re-dedicated Israel to the world’s Jewry. To what end, and with what limitations was the new-old state given approval to form, is the question currently posed.
The official State Department story is double-edged, yet there may be a few who are willing to ponder the inconsistent rationales regarding the benefits of bestowing statehood to Israel. It may have been due to an odious premise, considering the rampant antisemitism in Allied nations, plus the USA, that barred Jews trying to emigrate from Nazi Germany and Europe during and after the war.
Despite the narrative that some European and US diplomats fought against allowing Jews to return to their biblical homeland (where Zionists had been purchasing property from the Ottomans since the late 1800s), could the intent have been to collect a people, hated for millennia, to one place where they could be more easily dispatched by hostile neighbors?
It is to the following point that this history is recounted… that the West is responsible for creating the ongoing enmity of so-called Palestinians by giving self-determination to refugees who refused the offer to go home or permanently relocate to other nations. Gaza and the PA, that are now run by terror organizations that are the sordid step-children of the PLO, were devised by the West that now plans to abandon Israel to the circumstances they instigated.
Trita Parsi, the president of the Quincy Institute, who is he and why is he, an expert in Middle East affairs, advocating walking away from Israel? Indeed, he’s the son of an academic who fled the oppression of Ayatollah Khomeini (who was harbored in exile by the French for decades while the West plundered Persian oil), but he’s also a John’s Hopkins SAIS Ph.D. recipient who studied under Zbigniew Brzezinski, advisor to Jimmy Carter who hosted the Camp David Accords.
Also of note is what organizations fund the Quincy Institute that co-opted the good name of John Quincy Adams. At the top of the list are the woke, socialist leaning Ford Foundation, Carnegie, and the ever-present and infamous Open Society Foundations.
By this time, nearly everyone knows about the Soros-funded foundations that have been undermining nations’ governmental cohesion for decades, first under the name Open Society Institute, that became the Soros Foundation, that then went back to calling itself the Open Society Foundations. As one who has been following George Soros since 1989 when the Romanian press identified him as the arms dealer for the revolutionaries who deposed Ceauşescu, we wrote a book outing the Obama-Soros connection before the 2008 election which, apparently, only Glenn Beck noticed.
Be that as it may, Parsi, the expert touting all the accolades of UN and Soros approved scholars and bankers, has offered his solution to the debacle which the West, including the United States, had a critical role in devising. That is to pack-up and leave Israel to combat its vicious neighbors on its own.
Influencers think Israel’s stand against Iran is about preserving Netanyahu’s political career, or that it’s about the rhetoric they preach that he wants regime change to expand Israel to its biblical borders of the whole Levant.
It’s actually about Israel’s existence, and how it’s pitted against Iran, whose power and money (provided by previous administrations) supply all Israel’s surrounding enemies.
From the early 20th century, it was the West whose growing dependence on oil positioned Iran to become the major backer of terrorists around the world, a role that the Saudi’s also played in their own right. Are Parsi and other Israel critics so blind that they can’t see this basic element? Instead they color the dire situation as Israel having one intention, which is to pull the USA into another conflict.
The multiple state solution that came out of the UN’s Middle East map in 1947 was never meant to end war, but embed enmity, and the West’s profit from the aggression, for the foreseeable future. This was the UN then, and it’s the UN now, a war-mongering antisemitic, anti-Christian organization.
America ought to stand with Israel as an ally in continuing support by selling that nation arms in their unrelenting endeavor to eliminate Hamas and its funder, the Iran that Obama, Biden, and others financed.
There is no easy solution to the Gaza chaos that the United States unwisely participated in creating.
Leaving Israel in the lurch following the USA’s past complicity, intentional or inadvertent (which is doubtful), isn’t the answer.
