Video #8: America, be wary of a Palestinian state!

 Video #8: http://bit.ly/1nRDOYD; the entire series: http://bit.ly/1ze66dS

1.  According to the US foreign policy establishment, a Palestinian state would enhance stability, moderation, peace, and democracy. How credible is this assessment? 

2.  Following the 1993 Oslo Accords, the US foreign policy establishment was convinced that Mahmoud Abbas and Arafat would transform themselves from lawlessness to statesmanship. However, they responded with an unprecedented wave of hate-education, incitement and the resulting terrorism, which still persists today.

3.  In 2011, the US foreign policy establishment claimed that the eruption of turbulence on the Arab Street was an Arab Spring, transitioning the Arab World to democracy. Instead, the US has been confronted with an anti-US, anti-human rights, terror-driven and Islamic supremacy-inspired Arab Tsunami.

4.  In 2011, the US foreign policy establishment asserted that the toppling of Gaddafi ushered freedom to Libya. In 2012, four Americans were murdered by Islamic Libyan terrorists and Libya was transformed into the largest platform of anti-US Islamic terror organizations.

5.  In 2012, the US foreign policy establishment abandoned Egyptian President Mubarak and embraced the Muslim Brotherhood, the largest transnational Islamic terror organization, which haunts pro-US Arab regimes.  However, a year later, the Muslim Brotherhood was ousted, by a rare coalition of liberal Egyptians and the military, opposing a Muslim Brotherhood Islamic dictatorship and its support of terrorism.

6.  What would be the nature of a Palestinian state, and its impact on US national security and homeland security?

7.  The nature of the proposed Palestinian state, and its impact on vital US interests, can be gleaned through the Palestinian track record and its reaction to the unprecedented Israeli concessions of 1993 and 2005 (retreating from 40% of Judea & Samaria; offering to retreat to the pre-1967 lines; uprooting all Jews from Gaza). Mahmoud Abbas reacted with unprecedented hate-education, terrorism, glorification of homicide bombers, the systematic violation of commitments, corruption, the oppression of Palestinians and forcing a massive flight of Christians.

8.  Palestinian terrorists fought US forces in Afghanistan and Iraq.  The Palestinian Authority sustains the close PLO ties with anti-US regimes such as the Ayatollahs in Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, Osama Bin-Laden, Saddam Hussein, Sudan, Russia and China. A Palestinian state would provide Iran, Russia, China and possibly North Korea naval and land access to the eastern flank of the Mediterranean, at the expense of the US power projection.

9.  A Palestinian state would add one more anti-US vote at the UN.

10.  Palestinian leaders collaborated with Nazi Germany and the ruthless Communist Bloc secret services. Mahmoud Abbas, who has a Ph.D. from the Moscow University, speaks Russian and was trained by the KGB.

11.  Mahmoud Abbas’ PLO was a role-model for skyjacking, suicide bombing and car-bombing, exporting terrorism to India, China, Russia, Afghanistan, Europe, Africa and the USA. The PLO murdered the US Ambassador to Sudan in 1973 and assisted the Islamic Jihad in the 1983 murder of 300 US Marines in Beirut.

12.  Jordanian military commanders caution their Israeli counterparts that “Palestinians violate in the evening that which they sign in the morning,” and that “a Palestinian state would be a death sentence to the pro-US Hashemite regime, transforming Jordan into a platform of terror, haunting the shaky pro-US regimes in the Persian Gulf.”  

13.  The Palestinian treacherous intra-Arab track record: in 1950, 1966 and 1970 Mahmoud Abbas and Arafat fled Egypt, Syria and Jordan due to their involvement in terrorism; in 1975, they tried to topple Lebanon’s central government, triggering a multi-year civil war and Syrian occupation; in 1990 they participated in Saddam Hussein’s rape of Kuwait.

14.  Since 1967, regaining control of the mountain ridges of Judea & Samaria, Israel has dramatically upgraded its posture of deterrence, extending the US strategic hand against rising conventional and non-conventional Islamic threats to the USA, enhancing the national security of pro-US Arab regimes, and sparing the need to deploy additional US troops to the Middle East. A retreat from the dominant mountain ridges of Judea & Samaria would relegate Israel’s stature from a strategic asset to a liability, denying the US the unique benefits of a most effective outpost in the Mideast.   

15. Bearing in mind that leopards don’t change spots, only tactics, the proposed Palestinian state, on the one hand, and US values and national security interests, on the other hand, constitutes a classic oxymoron!

16.  The next video will discuss the nature of Palestinian terrorism: is it institutional or “lone wolves” terrorism?

Exposing the myth of the Arab demographic time bomb

US-sponsored anti-Israel UN Security Council statement – acumen

*The US’ co-sponsorship of an anti-Israel UN Security Council Statement reflects the return of the State Department’s worldview to the center stage of US foreign policy-making. This was the first time, in six years, that the US enabled the UN Security Council to act against Israel.

*This is not merely a worldview, which is highly critical of Israel, as has been the case since 1948, when Foggy Bottom led the charge against the re-establishment of the Jewish State.

This worldview has systematically undermined US interests, by subordinating the unilateral, independent US national security policy (on Iran’s Ayatollahs, the Muslim Brotherhood, the Palestinian issue, etc.) to a multilateral common denominator with the anti-US and anti-Israel UN and international organizations, as well as the vacillating and terrorists-appeasing Europe.

*It has sacrificed Middle East reality on the altar of wishful-thinking, assuming that the establishment of a Palestinian state would fulfill Palestinian aspirations, advance the cause of peace, reduce terrorism and regional instability; thus, enhancing US interests.

*However, the reality of the Middle East and Jordan and the rogue Palestinian track record lend credence to the assumption that a Palestinian state west of the Jordan River would doom the pro-US Hashemite regime east of the River, yielding traumatic ripple effects, regionally and globally:

^Replace the relatively-moderate Hashemite regime with either a rogue Palestinian regime, a Muslim Brotherhood regime, or other rogue regimes;
^Transform Jordan into a chaotic state, similar to Libya, Syria, Iraq and Yemen, which would be leveraged by Iran’s Ayatollahs to intensify their encirclement of the pro-US Saudi regime;
^Convert Jordan into a major arena of regional and global Islamic terrorism;
^Trigger a domino scenario into the Arabian Peninsula, which could topple all pro-US, oil-producing Arab regimes;
^Imperil the supply of Persian Gulf oil, which would be held hostage by anti-US entities, catapulting the price at the pump;
^Jeopardize major naval routes of global trade between Asia and Europe through the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea and the Suez Canal;
^Intensify epicenters of regional and global terrorism and drug trafficking;
^Generate a robust tailwind to US’ adversaries (Russia and China) and enemies (Iran’s Ayatollahs, the Muslim Brotherhood and ISIS) and a powerful headwind to US economic and national security interests.

*The State Department assumes that Palestinian terrorism – just like Islamic terrorism – is driven by despair, ignoring the fact that Palestinian terrorism has been driven (for the last 100 years) by the vision to erase the “infidel” Jewish entity from “the abode of Islam,” as stated by the charters of Fatah (1959) and the PLO (1964), 8 and 3 years before the Jewish State reunited Jerusalem and reasserted itself in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank).

*Aspiring for a Palestinian state, and viewing Israel’s control of Judea and Samaria as an obstacle to peace, ignores the Arab view of the Palestinians as a role model of intra-Arab subversion, terrorism, corruption and treachery. Moreover, the State Department has held the view that the Palestinian issue is the crux of the Arab-Israeli conflict and a central to Arab interests, which has been refuted by the Abraham Accords. The latter ignored the State Department, sidestepped the Palestinian issue and therefore came to fruition.

*The State Department overlooks the centrality of the Palestinian Authority’s hate education, which has become the most effective production-line of terrorists, and the most authentic reflection of the Palestinian Authority’s worldview and vision.

*The State Department has also taken lightly the Palestinian Authority’s mosque incitement, public glorification of terrorists and monthly allowances to families of terrorists, which have documented its rogue and terroristic nature (walk), notwithstanding its peaceful diplomatic rhetoric (talk).

*The State Department’s eagerness to welcome the Palestinian issue in a “red carpet” manner – contrary to the “shabby doormat” extended to Palestinians by Arabs – and its determination to promote the establishment of a Palestinian state, along with its embrace of Iran’s Ayatollahs and the Muslim Brotherhood, have been interpreted by rogue regimes and organizations as weakness.

Experience suggests that weakness invites the wolves, including wolves which aim to bring “The Great Satan” to submission throughout the world as well as the US mainland.
