from NY to Israel Sultan Reveals
The Stories Behind the News

Posted: 18 May 2009 08:18 PM PDT

Everyone, and by "everyone" I mean the denizens of Washington D.C.'s and
Brussel's government buildings, agrees that we need a Palestinian state.

Chiming in with their "Yes" votes are the dictator of a dozen Arab states

who agree that the only thing that will fix the region is adding another Arab

dictatorship to the place, and subtracting the region's one democracy.

But who actually needs a Palestinian state? Or rather a second Palestinian

state. The first Palestinian state, commonly called Jordan, was carved out
of the Palestine Mandate and equipped with a refugee Saudi royal family.

Today Jordan exists mainly under the protection of the US and Israel,

and its population of Palestinian Arabs is a seething mass of Muslim

extremists currently enjoying a 30 percent unemployment rate, where

the majority of the population supports Osama Bin Laden, at a higher

percentage rate than even Pakistan.

But Jordan is practically heaven on earth compared to the Second Palestinian

State that the Obama Administration is to determined to inflict on Israel.

Currently ruled by mutually hostile armed gangs loyal to either the Fatah or

Hamas terrorist groups, Palestine 2.0 has already been a failed state for over

a decade. Every attempt at foreign investment has failed. The ruins of

industrial zones, greenhouses and even a casino, dot the landscape.

Palestinian Arab Christians from overseas who returned to build up the

economy fled quickly in the face of relentless shakedowns, kidnappings and

militia gangs masquerading as law enforcement.

The vast majority of Palestinian Arabs work for two employers. The

UNRWA and the Palestinian Authority... which in turn is funded by foreign

donors. Work for the Palestinian Authority usually means belonging to a

militia gang which is loyal to a particular figure in the PA leadership, who in

turn passes that loyalty on to the current "government".

With little to do, the gangs spend their free time dealing drugs, carrying

out terrorist attacks and collecting protection money from their town's

remaining stores.

For 17 years, Israel, America and just about every interested party has

tried to build a Palestinian state. They provided weapons and training to

build a modern Palestinian police force. They sent advisers and fortunes

in economic aid, thousands per Palestinian Arab. They created industrial

zones and transferred greenhouses.

Billions in funds from the EU, America and various do-gooders were

swallowed up to fund the lavish lifestyles of Arafat and his henchmen.

To those who argue that a Palestinian State will build regional stability,
the rational person must ask, how in the world has any of this contributed

to regional stability?

Year after year, the proposed Palestinian State has become a worse place.

Given autonomy, its own military, political, legal and economic system--
"Palestine" has made the region more unstable than ever. Terrorism

has increased. Violence has increased. General instability has increased.

Proposing that more of this will stabilize the region is akin to a man setting

fire to one piece of furniture after another in his living room, and claiming

that when the entire room is on fire, it will be a safe place to live.

So I ask again, who needs a Palestinian state? If the Palestinian Arabs

really wanted a state (a second state) in Gaza, the West Bank and

Eastern Jerusalem, they could have had it before 1967, when those

territories were in Arab hands. Instead the PLO back then called for

no Palestinian state and the destruction of Israel. As Clinton discovered

to his chagrin at the end of his term, Arafat did not actually want a state

and was not interested in accepting an Israeli offer that gave him 99
percent of what he wanted. Is it really any surprise that Hamas today

follows the same exact party line?

And really why would they want a Palestinian state? If a state was

actually created, the UNRWA would have to close up shop. A

Palestinian state could no longer rely on foreign donors to fund the

hundred thousand or so armed gangsters who form its "government"

and its only real form of employment. And the same Muslim states

who pass along "charity" to help fund the "martyr operations" that

are behind much of the local terrorism would turn elsewhere.

Instead for 17 years the same tired opera has been playing in the

region's one theater. First the world's statesmen and diplomats descend

on Israel, crying that the only hope for the region's stability is a

Palestinian state. Next the Israeli diplomats arrive with a generous

territorial offer, counterbalanced by a second clause that asks that

there be no more terrorism.

That second clause is immediately ignored by everyone in the room.
Next the Palestinian Authoritydiplomats arrive demanding twice as

much land, no more border security preventing terrorists from entering

Israel, half of Israel's capital, contiguous borders that would cut Israel

in half, the ethnic cleansing of all Jews from territories claimed by them...

and finally the return of the "refugees", which is code for unlimited

immigration from their proposed Palestinian State into Israel.

The Israelis make a counteroffer. The statesmen and diplomats accuse

Israel of rejecting peace. The Palestinian Arabs begin carrying out terrorist

attacks again (assuming they even bothered to stop during the negotiations).

Israel bombs the terrorists. The statesmen and diplomats accuse Israel of

perpetuating the cycle of violence, and urge everyone to go back to the

negotiating table. By the time that happens a year later, the Palestinian

Arabs have doubled their demands, and the whole "Cycle of Peacemaking"

repeats itself all over again.

The "not so secret" secret here is that the Palestinian Arabs do not want a

state or peace. 17 years of running the Palestinian Authority into the

ground have shown how utterly incapable Fatah and Hamas are of

running anything, besides armed gangs, mosques and occasional

social services to their loyalist families... all funded from abroad.

The Palestinian ruling powers derive their authority from two forces

1. The Muslim desire to destroy Israel as an infidel state whose existence
contradicts Islam. This keeps the money and arms flowing in to the different

factions, as well as provides popular support by Arabs. Which is why no

Palestinian leader will recognize and accept the existence of Israel. It

is why Arafat negotiated out of one side of his mouth and ordered

terrorist attacks out of the other. It is why after his death. his Fatah

movement has lost credibility and popular support to Hamas due to

its increasing inability to kill Israelis.

2. Western and Israel diplomats who keep trying to create a Palestinian

state out of the bizarre notion that such a state would bring the terrorism

to an end. Like all Dhimmi behaviors in regard to Islam, they ignore the

fact that the short term goal of terrorism is terrorism. The long term

goal of terrorism is to conquer and hold the territory of the terrorized.

There is no room for the middle ground of compromise in that

equation. It's either absolute power, or nothing at all.

Terrorism is practiced by armed gangs and movements who derive

their power and support from being terrorists. Proposing that they stop

being terrorists is a lot like walking into GM and suggesting that instead

of making cars, they should make donuts and hand them out for free,

so everyone will be happy.

Palestinian nationalism has always been a crock, a transparently phony

justification for terrorism that has always come before nationalism.

Palestine was never a country or a state. It was the name given by

the Roman occupation forces to a region they were administering,

a region far larger than modern day Israel. There was never an Arab

Palestinian king or ruler until Arafat. There was never a separate

country called Palestine. The Post WW1 Palestine Mandate in the

20th century was used to create two states, an Arab state, Jordan,

and a smaller state, Israel.

Now the drive is on to create Palestine 2.0, despite the obvious fact

that the Palestinian Arabs have done everything possible to prevent it

from coming into being. Nearly two decades of terrorism have turned

the endless rounds of peace negotiations into a joke. Half the Palestinian

Authority is now ruled by the Iranian backed Hamas terrorist group,

which insists it will never recognize or accept permanent peace with

Israel. A state of affairs that never would have come into being, had

Israel not completely withdrawn from Gaza in the first place.

So once again, who wants or needs a Palestinian state?

Israel did not come into being out of pity for the millions of Jews killed

in the Holocaust. Nor did it come into being thanks to US aid or

support. Both of those however are common myths.

The State of Israel was in place well before the Holocaust, in the form

of an embryonic country of farmers who drained the swamps, businessmen

who set up shops, journalists who printed newspapers, and soldiers who

trained to protect and defend their homeland. When the UN recognized

Israel, it simply accepted the fait accompli that Israel existed and was

capable of taking care of itself, which it proved by fighting the armies
of the surrounding Arab nations to a standstill. It did it without US military

aid, which only came into the picture much later with the Kennedy

administration. It did it, because the people of Israel genuinely wanted

their own state and worked to make it happen.

By 1942, 17 years after the Palestine Mandate, the Jews of Israel had

built a thriving country, from power generators to vast stretches of

farmland, from a revived language to the Technicon, created in 1924,

which is considered one of the world's leading electrical engineering and

computer science schools in the world.

17 years after Oslo, the Palestinian Arabs have built nothing but death

and destruction. Worse yet they've taken everything that was given to

them and turned it into either a weapon or a bribe. By every standard,

they have failed to show their ability to build or run a functioning state.

Not even the most liberally minded thinker can point to anything in the

Palestinian Authority leadership that suggests that they're capable of

running a functional state. Which is why that same species will naturally

duck the question and begin blaming Israel instead.

And that highlights the real issue. The only reason for creating Palestine

2.0 is the destruction of Israel. It will not bring regional stability. It will

not even bring local stability. It cannot even function unless its entire

workforce is funded from abroad. It cannot even stop engaging in

terrorism.

Palestine 2.0 is a Frankenstein's monster, with body parts from Shiite,

Sunni and Marxist terrorists. It only knows how to do one thing and

one thing alone, kill. It is not a natural creature, because no Palestinian

state ever existed throughout history. It is an artificial state whose

existence has only one purpose. The destruction of Israel.

And that answers our question at last. Who needs a Palestinian state?

Someone who is either ignorant, foolish or needs to destroy Israel.

The Two State Solution is not a formula for any kind of stability or

end to the violence. It's meant to take the violence to a whole new level.

It is a formula for the destruction of Israel.

17 years of peacemaking by Israelis has produced 17 years of terrorism

by the Palestinian Arabs. Everything sowed on the Palestinian Authority,

from money to guns, from autonomy to infrastructure, have come up as

dragon's teeth.

Palestine is not a state. It was never a state. It will never be a state. It is

currently ruled by two factions who have both disowned a negotiated

Palestinian state in favor of the destruction of Israel. It is not a country,

it is a weapon.

Palestine is a gun aimed at the head of Israel with one goal, its destruction.
Palestine is a gun aimed at the head of every Jew in the world, legitimizing

the worst and ugliest kinds of bigotry. Palestine is an imaginary place given

form as a vicious myth brainwashing generation after generation of Jordanian

and Egyptian Arabs to call themselves Palestinians and kill and die in the

name of perpetuating a second Holocaust, all for the glory of Allah,
Mohammed, Marx, not to mention Saddam Hussein, Ahmadinejad, the

House of Saud, and every cause and ruler with an interest in toppling

Israel into the dust.

Palestine is death. It exists only as a form of living death by a population

taught to see themselves as willing martyrs to the bomb belt from birth.

It breathes death, it celebrates death, it teaches death and preaches death.

It is the final ugly end of the hatred and cruelty bottled up in the Arab

and Islamic dictatorships of the region. It is the true face of Islam and

its shining reflection in the mirror of the Western press and diplomats
