The Two-State Solution: Why it will NOT end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
……………..
The “two state solution”: would just be a stepping stone to the destruction of Israel. Neither Hamas nor Fatah have the “two state solution” in their charters, but rather wiping out Israel altogether.
Infidelsays
The very name ‘Palestine’ tells one that the PA/PLO/Fatah/Hamas wouldn’t be satisfied w/o all of Israel. If they were gonna be satisfied w/ just Gaza, they’d have called their country Gaza. If they were gonna be satisfied w/ the West Bank, they’d have called it something like aḍ-Ḍiffah l-Ġarbiyyah (the Arabic term for West Bank).
The fact that they call it Palestine tells a story, which is just further emphasized by maps that show ALL of Israel, Judea, Samaria and Gaza as a part of their imaginary country called ‘Palestine’
mortimersays
The Arabs always referred to the region as ‘Lower Syria’. ‘Palestine’ is the Roman term that Europeans inherited and used.
Infidelsays
The Arabs used the term ash-Sham, which is the entire area to the west of the Euphrates and east of the Mediterranean. In other words, it loosely translates as the Levant. Under that definition, everything from Raqqa to Sharm el Sheikh, and from Antioch to Basra would qualify as the region.
The reason Westerners interpret that definition as being Syria is that the capital of those sultanates/provinces was always Damascus. Which is why President Hafez al Assad told Yasser Arafat that ‘Palestine’ was a part of Syria, as was Israel, Jordan and Lebanon. If Assad had the power, he’d have claimed Hatay province in Turkey, the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt and al Anbar province in Iraq and the whole of Jordan as well
mortimersays
Agree. Quite right … we would refer to this conceptual region (Sham) as ‘THE LEVANT’.
Al-Sham, (pron. Ash-Sham) an endonym of the region bordering the eastern Mediterranean Sea, usually known as the Levant or the region of Syria: Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Cyprus and the Turkish Hatay Province Bilad al-Sham, the Caliphate province of the same region
– ash-Shām, or Sham (الشام), another name for Damascus, one of the largest cities in the region
– Jund al-Sham, militant group based in Afghanistan, meaning “Army of Syria”
Infidelsays
Agree w/ you, w/ the exception of Cyprus: don’t think they fall within that definition
mortimersays
THE TWO-STATE SOLUTION HAS ALREADY BEEN IMPLEMENTED SINCE 1923 = West Palestine and East Palestine (Emirate of Transjordan).
Jordan is a 20th-century British invention, dreamed up in the 1920s, for the Hashemite Family to whom Britain owed a favor. Britain without authorization from the League of Nations, illegally hived off 75% of Mandatory Palestine in 1923 and handed it to the emir. The British announced that this was a “temporary” measure, which they quietly and quickly made “permanent.”
Jews were no longer allowed to live there. Once the British established the Mandate, and Jewish immigration began to create a mini-industrial revolution, both Western and Eastern Palestine attracted waves of Muslim Arab immigrants from Egypt and Syria. These new immigrants found it convenient to make common cause with the non-Bedouin residents of Jordan and much later, specifically after 1967, called themselves and their children Palestinians.
President Roosevelt pointed out in 1939 that “Arab immigration into Palestine since 1921 has vastly exceeded the total Jewish immigration during this whole period.” Until 1946, its British administrators called TransJordan — Eastern Palestine.
There are already two ‘Palestines’ and thus this is the two-state solution. The Arabs got 75%. Is that your idea of fair?
David Raschsays
To understand this I try to think like a moslem. Makes my head hurt and triggers a very large case of cognitive dissonance. The ‘two state’ meme is a tactic aimed at especially Americans. It makes the destruction of Israel sound ‘reasonable’.
gravenimagesays
True, David–of course, Muslims would never stop at the “two state solution”–it would just be a stepping stone to the destruction of Israel.
jewdogsays
Implicit in the assumption that the 2-state 2-step will do the trick, is that the Muslims will be grateful and make peace. Without dragging out all of the many, many examples of ingratitude towards infidels (and anyway, I’m too lazy to do so) the evidence does not support that assumption, and the fact that so many allegedly intelligent people think it will is just another variant of the King’s Clothes.

=================================== Abdul Hameed al Ghabin
[Saudi writer and political analyst] said:
“How can we achieve peace if the Palestinian people
remain without a place to call home? The answer is simple:
Jordan is already 78% of historical Palestine. Jordanians
of Palestinian origin constitute more than 80% of the
population according to U.S. intelligence cables leaked
in 2010. Jordan is essentially already the Palestinian Arab state.
The only problem is, the King of Jordan refuses to acknowledge this.”
“As our Evelyn Gordon wrote in a prescient COMMENTARY
[magazine] article published in January 2010, by signaling its
willingness to withdraw from some territory, the Israelis
did not convince anyone of their good intentions.
To the contrary, such concessions reinforced the conviction
that Israel was a thief in possession of stolen property.
The reaction from the Palestinians and hostile Europeans
was not gratitude for the generosity of the Israelis in
giving up land to which they too had a claim,
but a demand that it be forced to give up even more.
Land-for-peace schemes and a belief in two states
on the part of Israelis has always led most Palestinians
to believe that their goal of forcing the Jews out of
the entire country was more realistic, not less so.”
“In opposition to the view of the majority of Israelis
and of the 2016 Republican Party platform,
Graham insists on maintaining allegiance to
the so-called two-state solution, despite its
hundred-year record of continuous failure.”
The ‘two state solution” will definitely not stop this awful Israeli –Muslim land conflict.
Thus a “two state solution” is out of the question. This is actually just right and fine .This is because a “two state solution” not really a “solution” but an Islamic ploy of deception , a smokescreen and hoax and a fraud.
For example those recent Hamas rocketed attacks in to Israel from Gaza reveals that even the idea of some people of dividing Jerusalem as well as other parts of the State of Israel between the Jewish people of the Muslim/ Arabs is nothing but folly. To engage the madness of such “talks” is a hoax and a farce .This is because in the so called “negotiations” between the heads of the Jewish nation of Israel and the leaders of the “Palestinians” the Muslim /Arabs the “Palestinian” leaders will speak the truth only when in happens to fit their agenda. The rest of the time the will be speaking half-truths and outright lies. For their goal is to obtain all of the land of the State of Israel ,.Even in it takes much time and it means getting the land piece by piece. So those “peace talks” are a hoax. For the “Palestinian”leaders are employing what is the Islamic doctrine of Taqiyya . Which is the Islamic dogma that lying and deception are good things to do as long as it’s done for the cause of the advancement of Islam. The insidious scheme is part of the stealth jihad .Otherwise known as “Islamic Gradualism.” This sly and something subtle strategy of disingenuous speech, lying deception of achieving the goal of all the land of Israel a war ploy that will be a disaster if the heads of the State of Israel are foolish enough to agree to divide the land of Israel with Muslim /Arabs ,the “Palestinians.” For if such a “peace dialogue” results in a divided land, the outcome will literally be murder. For “Palestinian” leader will allow the jihadists use that land as a base to launch murderous rocked attacks in to Israel. As for example, Hamas of Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Such false hopes for peace which are based on the foundation of lies are nothing new when it comes to Israel . For example, the Bible in Psalm 55:20, 21. Reads “Such men do violence to those at peace with them and break their promised word; their speech is smoother the butter but their thoughts are of war.” [N.E.B.]
The two-state solution cannot end Jihad because in classical Islam the *world* is divided into dar al harb (zone of war) and dar al Islam (zone of Submission/ Conquered Territory) within which Islam dominates. The Ummah intends to turn the *whole world* into dar al Islam; that is the end game, that is the final goal – a global sharia despotism. ALL kafir countiries, where muslims do not currently rule and where the sharia is not the main or only source of law, are seen as illegally occupied, and must be warred against until forced into submission, or destroyed. Muslims don’t just see **Israel** as ‘the occupation’.. Greenland, Iceland, Easter Island, the tribes of Amazonia, are *also* illegally occupying (because kafir) territory that rightfully (so they belileve, in theri boundless greed, their megalomania and malignant narcissism) belongs to Muslims, Muslims, Muslims. NO non-Muslim, in the eyes of an orthodox Muslim, has any right whatsoever to liberty or property; everything that person is and has, belongs to allah and therefore to any Muslim strong enough to grab it.
The partition of Mandatory ‘Palestine’ was followed by all-out jihad intended to destroy the nascent resurgent State of Israel and expand the dar al Islam by violently seizing what Islam had – 1400 years prior – violently seized.
The partition of India has not led to peace in any real sense of the word: Muslims still dream of conquering *all* of India and re-enslaving its Hindus and other non-Muslims, so that they (Muslims) can indulge all their basest desires, with absolute impunity, upon helpless slaves. Pakistan – the huge chunk of historic India that was seized to be the exclusive possession of Muslims – is nothing but a jumping-off point for jihad upon the rest of India.
Concessions granted by Thailand to the Muslims in the south of their country, concessions granted by the Philippines to the Muslims in Mindanao, will *not* bring peace. The musilms will pocket their gains and.. jihad will be waged with redoubled force from the seized territory.
That is why my own view is that if Israel is to survive they must expel every last identifiable mohammedan from every part of historic eretz Israel.. all the way from Dan to Beersheba and from the Jordan to the sea. And raze the mosques. Expel the waqf from the Temple Mount. No apologies. It’s Israel’s, it’s Jewish sacred turf on which Mohammedans are squatting and plotting – boot them off it, repossess it, cleanse it, and do some archaeology in peace, to show just how insane is the claim that arabs/ muslims were there first. The Golan, the *whole* of the Mountains of Israel (Judea and Samaria), the line of the Jordan = military high ground. Israel has to control it, as sovereign turf.
When jihad fortress Gaza starts the next fight… annihilate it. Expel its mohammedan inhabitants into Sinai (Israel should never have been forced to give back the Sinai to Egypt, BTW), and repossess it (Gaza too is, in terms of geography, important militarily). Then police the boundaries, resolutely, into the foreseeable future; and make it clear that all incursions will be met by annihilating force, and all Islamic entities from which Muslim raiders emanate, will be *held responsible* for those raids; no such thing as plausible deniability, any more, for any Muslim-dominated state actor. (The Muslim raid on Mumbai in November 2008, was an act of war waged by Pakistan upon India, using proxies).
