Why Israeli - Palestinian "Peace" Process Drags On

1. The Palestinian Arabs would be living in peace and prosperity in the land of Israel, including the so-called West Bank, if they had not fled their homes in 1948 when the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem told them to do so with the promise that all of the Jews would be killed and the Arabs could return to their homes and even take the homes and land of the Jews.


2. The Palestinian Arabs would be living in peace with their own land if any of the Arab countries which invaded Israel, had any compassion for, or obligation to, the Palestinian Arabs. The surrounding Arab nations of Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, and nearby Iraq, Yemen, Libya and more, with hundreds of times the land area of Israel, could have settled the Palestinian Arabs rather than keep them in refugee camps and poverty and continue to incite them to violence against Israel.

3. ISRAEL HAS RETURNED OVER 90 % OF THE TERRITORIES IT HAS CAPTURED IN WARS WITH INVADING NATIONS OR IN DEFENDING ITSELF AGAINST TERRORIST ATTACKS.

4. Can anyone imagine any Arab nation returning any land to Israel in any circumstance?

5. Israel returned all of the Sinai Peninsula to Egypt, the Gaza Strip which had been under Egyptian administration to Palestinian Arabs, southern Lebanon to Lebanon, and 40% of the "West Bank" to Palestinian Arabs.

6. Israel retained East Jerusalem, to make the city whole again, and 60% of the West Bank, both of which were ARTIFICIALLY under the control of Jordan due to 1948 cease fire "Green Line" when Jordan, Egypt, Syria and other Arab nations invaded Israel.

5. JEWS HAVE LIVED IN THE SO-CALLED "WEST BANK", THE HISTORICAL LANDS OF SAMARIA AND JUDEA, FOR MORE THAN 3200 YEARS. They have just as much right to the West Bank as does any Arab group.

6. Israel has also retained a small strip of land on the border with Syria, the Golan Heights, because of its strategic nature since Syria has joined in several wars trying to destroy Israel and Syria continues to be a prime supporter of Hezbollah and Hamas.

7. Why should Israel give any land to Arabs in the West Bank, when the ruling party, Hamas, of the would-be Palestine nation still has a goal to wipe Israel off the face of the earth? No nation in the history of the world would be expected to place itself in such a dangerous situation.
