- The Arab
states, many Europeans and the so-called "pro-Palestinian"
movement have been using the same tactic since 1948 -- keep the
Palestinians in poverty, victimhood, and dependence so that Israel
can be blamed, with the hope that Israel would lose legitimacy and
its Jewish residents would be thrown into the sea or they would pack
up and leave.
- Values that
bring peace (acceptance of differences, religious tolerance, and
non-violent conflict resolution) are taught all over the liberal
democratic world, including Israel, but somehow, when it comes to
Arabs, all expectations of socialized behavior are thrown out the
window.
- Somehow, people
expect to resolve a conflict without neutralizing the root cause of
that conflict: programming people to hate.
- Teach Peace:
This is the solution that Western politicians urgently need to talk
about when they meet Palestinian officials. It should be at the
start, at the middle, and at the end of every meeting and every
speech, and all funding should be made contingent on it and strictly
linked to it.
A Palestinian girl recites
a poem about Jews on official Palestinian Authority TV, May 29, 2015:
"Oh Sons of Zion, oh most evil among creations. Oh barbaric
monkeys..."
As an Arab, the situation of the Palestinians breaks my heart, as
does the situation of Syrians, Lebanese, Iraqis, and even those living in
relative peace under dictatorships. But the Palestinian situation bothers
me most because no realistic solution is ever seriously
considered.
While Palestinian refugees are scattered over several countries and
given few rights by their Arab hosts, and while they live in various
states of dependence in Gaza and the West Bank, resolution of their
status is delayed decade after decade, with occasional lip service paid
to a negotiated two-state solution -- the magic solution that would
supposedly cure everything!

- Ever since the
inception of the European Economic Community, British politicians
across the entire political spectrum have been perceptive enough to
realize that Britain will lose its sovereignty and turn into a
vassal of the France-Germany axis.
- This month, in
March, an official audit reported that EU auditors refuse to sign
off more than £100 billion ($144 billion) of EU spending. The
Brussels accounts have not been given the all-clear for 19 years in
a row.
There is a joke going around the internet it how the European Union
works (or doesn't):
Pythagoras's theorem - 24 words.
Lord's Prayer - 66 words.
Archimedes's Principle - 67 words.
10 Commandments - 179 words.
Gettysburg address - 286 words.
U.S. Declaration of Independence - 1,300 words.
U.S. Constitution with all 27 Amendments - 7,818 words.
EU regulations on the sale of cabbage - 26,911 words.
