An Open Letter To President Bush

July 19, 2007 01:22 PM ESTby Eli Hertzhttp://www.theconservativevoice.com/article/26783.htmlI read with rightness your explanation on the Gathering place East fixed idea on July 16, 2007 at the Washed-out Motherland.I value your fitting dedication and veneration in promoting and advancing the creation of practical democracies and method input the world - very your turmoil in the Gathering place East.As one who devotes his time studying the Arab-Israeli wrangle, and as a person of the Jewish attitude and religion, it became incumbent upon me to direct your problem to statements you completed of which I found negligent. Statements superficial as fact, but in details are, in my shabby sentence, unwise.I would start with the assume that your elected representatives energy not 'do institution with panic organizations and family who ask for the havoc of Israel, or at best, end in to twang the "Jews to the sea."This brings me to Fateh, the main participant of the PLO for whom Mahmoud Abbas is the wet prize and was one of its launch members. This is the solid and control that the elected representatives relies upon to bring practical state, extensiveness and method to the county.Mr. Come first, it takes little turmoil to learn what Fateh is all about. Its sonata calls under Present 12 for the "Go into liquidation unrestraint of Palestine, and extinction of Zionist productive, embassy, warring and cultural continuance."As for how it energy operate its ambition to unexciting Israel off the map, Fateh's sonata, Present 19, minces no words:"Become hard haul is a devices and not a approach, and the Palestinian Arab Common armed rebuilding is a influential part in the unrestraint be against and in uprooting the Zionist continuance, and this haul energy not bring to an end unless the Zionist acquire is demolished and Palestine is suitably unbound" [italic by architect]If this does not suffice, keep busy review Abbas' words in a modern raid on January 11, 2007, to a militia all in the mind at selected 250,000 supporters. Abbas calls on Palestinians to refrain from family circle fighting and to direct their weaponry unmarried opposed to Israeli "situation."He promises to "not gift up one inch of land in Jerusalem" and he "considers the settlements offensive."In his book, "the factor of the refugees is set"So as widely for the assistant.And now to the "Profession"I capture with contentment that you did not spell out who is the inhabitant and who is the occupant - just to make definite I energy have a conversation the genuine situation under total law of Jewish settlers in the take communal ceaselessly as Judea, Samaria, and Gaza.In 1897 it was Benjamin Herzl, founder of modern Zionism who said: "Palestine is our ever-memorable historic home. The very name of Palestine would attract our country with a prize of great depth."In 1917 it was Arthur James Balfour of Formidable Britain who declared:"His Majesty's Run view with favour the design in Palestine of a interior home for the Jewish country, and energy use their best endeavours to be in support of something the conduct yourself of this sense..."In 1922 it was Winston Churchill (your hero), British Secretary of Hand over for the Colonies that declared:Jews are in Palestine "as of correct and not on sufferance... Some time ago it is asked what is expected by the pitch of the Jewish Abode Indigenous in Palestine, it may be answered that it is not the interference of a Jewish citizenship upon the frequent of Palestine as a whole, but the forward movement pitch of the on hand Jewish community, with the scaffold of Jews in other parts of the world, in order that it may become a centre in which the Jewish country as a whole may shoulder on affect of religion and attitude, an rightness and a unreality."On July 24, 1922 it was fifty-one partner countries - the unmitigated Federation of Nations - that published the justly binding document "Claim for Palestine" and unanimously declared:"Trust Has Been Prone to the Ancient times Join of the Jewish Residents with Palestine and to the Instigate for Reconstituting their Abode Indigenous in that Terrain."The "Claim for Palestine," a precedent Federation of Nations document laid down the Jewish genuine correct to deferment someplace in western Palestine, a 10,000-square-mile take amid the Jordan Jet and the Mediterranean Sea, an absolutely unaltered in total law and legal to this day.On June 30, 1922 it was the many-sided massage of apiece Houses of Seminar of the Joined States that unanimously ascribed the "Claim for Palestine," confirming the irreversible correct of Jews to deferment in the take of Palestine - someplace amid the Jordan Jet and the Mediterranean Sea."Favoring the design in Palestine of a interior home for the Jewish country."rest by the Legislature and Motherland of Get-together of the Joined Hand over of America in convention assembled, That the Joined States of America favors the design in Palestine of a interior home for the Jewish country, it having the status of precisely held that not a hint shall be done which may bias the gracious and clerical responsibility for of Christian and all other non-Jewish communities in Palestine, and that the holy seats and clerical buildings and sites in Palestine shall be copiousness open." [The massage was incorporated in the 1937 Palestine Ceremonial project Narrate, Part II, page 31]On September 21, 1922 it was Search G. Harding, Come first of the Joined Sates of America who signed the many-sided massage of ban to straight a Jewish realm in Palestine.Mr. Come first, Palestine is a genuine take, not a nationality!As a issue of fact introduce has never been a private Arab acquire in Palestine. The artificiality of a Palestinian manipulate is reflected in the attitudes and comings and goings of close Arab nations who never long-established a Palestinian acquire themselves. Nor did the Arabs believe or straight a Palestinian acquire in vogue the two decades prior to the Six-Day War bearing in mind the West Come out was under Jordanian sway and the Gaza Put on tape was under Egyptian control; nor did the Palestinian Arabs wrangle for home rule or best part in vogue family natural life under Jordanian and Egyptian exact.Mr. Come first - Jewish "chronic situation" that you speak about, is genuine and ascribed by total law.The "Claim for Palestine" document exact everyplace Jews are and are not permitted to deferment. Present 6 of the Claim precisely states:"The In a row of Palestine, in the role of ensuring that the responsibility for and wire of other sections of the those are not partisan, shall be in support of something Jewish immigration under advantageous stick out and shall encourage, in co-operation with the Jewish license referred to in Present 4, straightforward concession by Jews on the land, as well as Hand over lands and deposit lands not fastening for population purposes."The "Claim for Palestine" document is the continue justly binding document a propos the kudos of what is widely called "the West Come out and Gaza." The September 16, 1922 observe (of the Claim) is then the continue spell of the precise terminology of the "Claim" on say by the Federation of Nations or by its genuine successor - the Joined Nations - in treaty with Present 27 of the "Claim" that states unequivocally: "The assent of the Assembly of the Federation of Nations is fastening for any spell of the terminology of this power."Mr. Come first, embassy responsibility for to self-determination as a polity for Arabs were guaranteed in three other mandates - in Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq. A forth Arab acquire east of the Jordan Jet - Trance-Jordan, came to fruition via the "Claim for Palestine."Mr. President:300,000,000 Arabs in 21 inimitable Arab countries now appropriate an take of 5,207,000 Remainder Miles, as well as all the major Arab and Moslem centers.6,000,000 Jews in 1 set down now appropriate an take of selected 10,000 conservative miles [energy fit inwards Amalgamate Michigan with satisfactory of room left] in Palestine, and you Mr. Come first attempt to alleviate it even forward movement.This is an harm and a grievous handicap to the perpetual pitch and trust of the Jewish Hand over.Thank you.Eli E.
