ISRAEL ACCEPTED
IN NOVEMBER 1947 THE UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY VOTED TO CREATE A JEWISH STATE AND A PALESTINIAN STATE.

THE JEWS ACCEPTED THE PLAN.

THE PALESTINIANS REJECTED IT.

IN 1948 THE JEWS DECLARED ISRAEL A STATE BUT INSTEAD OF DOING THE SAME, THE PALESTINIANS JOINED FORCES WITH JORDAN, EGYPT, SYRIA, AND IRAQ TO GO TO WAR AGAINST ISRAEL.

THEY LOST THE WAR THEY STARTED.

SO THEY WENT WHINING TO THE U.N. THAT THEY WANTED THEIR LAND BACK.

INSTEAD, it was decided that Jordan would rule the Muslim stronghold on the West Bank, and Egypt would rule the Gaza Strip.

THEREAFTER, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip remained refugee camps for the displaced Palestinians. They have been described as squalid.

HOW MUCH money has the world pumped into those two places?

MILLIONS AND MILLIONS.

BUT it didn't get to the people.

INSTEAD, it was decided by the men in power to keep the Palestinians in squalor in order to get even more money for themselves.

THE PALESTINIAN people were encouraged to focus their anger and hatred on the Jews, instead of on their corrupt fellow Muslims.

ARAFAT became a multi-millionaire.

IF THAT isn't enough history to prove the Palestinians are victims of their own greed and corruption, let's go back farther in time.

WHY does anyone believe the land of Israel belongs to the Palestinians?

FIRST of all, Palestinians never ruled the land.

SECOND, Jews have lived in the land of Israel far longer than any Muslim has.

THINK ABOUT THIS: The Old Testament is a Jewish history book. They wandered in the desert and then they settled in the promised land, eventually building their Temple in Jerusalem.

SOMETIMES the Jews ruled the land, and at other times they were ruled over by conquerors.

BUT, through all of those Biblical times, there were no Muslims attacking Jerusalem or the Jews.

BECAUSE there were no Muslims. Mohammad hadn't even been born. He wasn't born until the seventh century, hundreds of years after Jesus climbed the steps of Jerusalem.

JERUSALEM is not even mentioned in the Koran, though Muslims believe Mohammad was there. They consider The Dome of the Rock their 3rd holiest site, built where they believe Mohammad ascended to heaven.

IN FACT, Mohammad died and was buried in Medina.

IN A DREAM, Mohammad, with the angel Gabriel, had gone on a journey to the alAksa mosque in Jerusalem.

MUSLIMS claim Jerusalem is theirs because Mohammad was there in a dream. And they have Mohammad ascending to heaven from Jerusalem in order to hijack the Christian belief that Jesus ascended into heaven.

THE DOME OF THE ROCK was built by Muslims on the holiest site in Judaism, The Temple Mount.

THE name Dome of the Rock is because the Muslim shrine was built around the FOUNDATION STONE.

JEWS regard the location of the stone as the site of the HOLY OF HOLIES.

THE HOLY OF HOLIES was a room, built in a cube, located at the western end of the Temple.

INSIDE the HOLY OF HOLIES was the ARK OF THE COVENANT, described in the bible.

JEWS TODAY pray at the Western Wall, closest to the site of the rock, because they are not permitted to enter the Dome.

THE ISRAELIS could easily blow up the Dome of the Rock, or deny Muslims permission to go there, but they've done neither.

ON THE OTHER HAND, even in the 20th century, Muslims desecrated Jewish holy places and didn't allow Jews to enter Jerusalem when they controlled the city. They also denied Christians access to their holy sites.

ONE LAST NOTE: Let's look at Jerusalem in 1845, since we have a census from that year.

THE JEWISH population in Jerusalem that year was seven thousand.

THE MUSLIM population in Jerusalem that same year was five thousand.

CHRISTIANS also lived in Jerusalem then, three thousand of them.

YES, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, there were Jews who left Russia and Eastern European countries because of the ghetto lives they were forced to live, and many of those Jews went to Israel. But they went there to join a population of Jews already there. And they bought neglected land from the Palestinians. They didn't arrive and push the Muslims out, they paid Muslims for land and lived side by side.

THEN there was World War II and the holocaust, and the Jewish survivors of the Nazi prison camps had no homes to return to at the end of the war. Their homes and all of their posessions had been taken by others.

THOSE Jews were put into "camps" behind wire fences while the world wondered what to do with them.

ONE thing those Jews had learned, the hard way, is that the world doesn't care about them.

THE WORLD didn't care then and it doesn't care now. Most of the world prefers the ignorant lie that Jerusalem and Israel belong to the Palestinians.

IT'S TOO BAD the Palestinian people have been used as pawns by Arafat, Hezbollah, Hamas, and the rest of the Muslim world. But that doesn't erase the fact that the Palestinians could have declared Statehood, remained in their homes, and saved themselves from becoming rerugees at the mercy of their fellow Muslims.

MORE WARS followed the first against the state of Israel. More and more land was lost by the Palestinians and neighboring Muslims. And the Palestinians have spent generations now in poverty and squalor. But instead of improving conditions in the Gaza and the West Bank, their time and money go to the cry of "next time we'll run the Jews into the sea".

THE PALESTINIANS chose to go to war and lost the land the U.N. had designated would be theirs. Now all they do is whine.

WHERE IS THE HONOR the proud Muslims speak about? All we hear is whining, "We want our land back".

WHAT LAND?

YOU NEVER had any land until the United Nations gave you some. And then you left it, you left your homes because you gambled and lost. You thought you'd win the war and get all the land, the land the Jews bought from you and settled and improved with irrigation and made a garden in the desert.

EVEN THEN, even after that first war, if you had been willing to make peace with Israel, you could have left your squalid refugee camps to live on land Israel did not claim. But you chose to live in hate.

FOR GENERATIONS the Palestinian people have lived for one purpose, to win a war against Israel.

HASN'T HAPPENED, NEVER WILL.

YOU had your chance, in 1947. You threw it away because you wanted more. Instead of building your own country, you wanted to take what the Jews had already built.

THE WAY you took the Foundation Stone.

SHOW ME anywhere in the world where Muslims rule and the people thrive.

THE WHOLE HISTORY OF THE MUSLIM PEOPLE IS WAR AND CONQUERING PEOPLES, MAKING THEM SLAVES AND TAKING THEIR RICHES. AND WHEN THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO LOOT FROM THE PEOPLE, POVERTY SETS IN.

THAT'S MUSLIM HISTORY.

WHAT A WASTE OF LIFE.
