When the Palestinians Say "End of Occupation", What Do They Mean?

The Western world thinks they mean "End of occupation in the West Bank and Gaza"

But what the Palestinians actually mean is "End of Israel".

They don't even try to hide it.

See for yourself:

This is the map of "Liberated Palestine" on the official website of the Palestinian National Authority, Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs:

It is the map of the entire State of Israel.

This is the map of "Liberated Palestine" featured on the official emblem of the Palestinian National Authority’s Ministry of Industry:

This is the map of "Liberated Palestine" as a statuette displayed at the Principal’s room in a school in the Palestinian town of Tulkarm.

Question: Now, when you hear the Palestinians say "End of Occupation" do they mean "A Palestinian State alongside Israel", or "In place of Israel?"

Answer: "Poll: Majority of Palestinians See Israel's Elimination as Goal"

poll conducted by the Palestinian Jerusalem Media and Communication Center (JMCC). (Reuters, June 11, 2002)

Start deporting them as soon as they mention the word "palestine"
What will it take?

Moshiach.

Because of President Bush's bold call for democracy before statehood, the Pallies will implode via infighting.

The "Palestinians" are a bogus entity drummed up by the Arabs as a vehical to drive Israel into the sea.

Like it or not Israel will colonize the west Bank and Gaza and end up deporting the Arabs. There is no other way out of this mess.

The Arabs are liars and frauds, they will never negotiate in good faith.

[ChadGore]

"The armies of Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon are poised on the borders of Israel...to face the challenge, while standing behind us are the armies of Iraq, Algeria, Kuwait, Sudan and the whole Arab nation. This act will astound the world. Today they will know that the Arabs are arranged for battle, the critical hour has arrived. We have reached the stage of serious action and not declarations."
-- May 30 1967. Abdul Nasser

Less than one week later, all the Arab allies were issued a stinging defeat.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Shouldn't that read "stinging retreat"? ;0)

A picture is worth a thousand words, so it goes to reason that 8 pictures are worth at least 8000 words. Thanks for the post.

Because of President Bush's bold call for democracy before statehood, the Pallies will implode via infighting.

One reason being that "Arab" and "democracy" almost never occur in the same sentence.

Thanks. An Israeli friend of mine gave them this (and a couple of others) in PowerPoint several weeks ago. Have you seen the others? I also have a series of pictures from a Palestinian Arab nursery school "graduation" presentation. They'd creep you out, too.

[onedoug]

Thanks for the flag, d.

Palestinian state. Nonsense, now and forever.

[monkeyshine]

You are right. Bush's call only hastens the inevitable, though.

Arafat can't live forever. Even if they never did hold elections again, there would be a bloody civil war among the Palestinians to fill the power vaccuum left when he dies. Hamas, Tanzim, Al Aqsa and other offshoots would fight for control... They complained about "Bantustans" (which never existed) in the Barak offer, but they don't acknowlege that they already live in a feudalistic arrangement as it is. Hamas runs this town, Al Aqsa runs that town, some clans (gangs) run parts of towns. Nothing gets done without the approval of the "overlord" clan that controls their little fiefdom.

The PA is like the mafia, and Arafat is the godfather, but like the mafia there are other Dons who control parts of the whole and vie for more control.

Soon enough, Gaza will fall into the hands of Hamas most likely, while the west bank will fracture among the various clans and gangs. I cannot see how a central force will arise without major fighting. Who among the Palestinians is willing to stand up for a peaceful, compromising central authority and fight these terror groups? Dare I say that none of them will.

The western leftists are nuts. They have their heads buried in the sand. They don't want to think this through, and they don't want to see the reality on the ground that causes the misery they complain about. I see no way to make peace in the forseeable future. Occupation is the only way, unless a strong peaceful group is willing to take up arms against the terrorists and compromise with Israel.

The pink area in the first picture looks like an infection.

[Optimist]

And this is Arafat wearing his perfectly formed and shaped depiction of Palestine. Notice that the "normal" style is NOT to one side.

[Looking for Diogenes]

It is the map of the entire State of Israel.

You haven't looked at any offical Israeli maps recently. They include the Golan Heights as well. And no acknowledgement of the separation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Everybody in the Middle East plays games with maps.

I think you should continue to look for Diogenes... and maybe find out the difference between a physical and a political map.

The Israeli one you posted is of the first type, it shows the region's physical features, not its administrative division.

The Palestinian authority's maps posted by others are of the second type.

Pretty substantial difference, isn't it?

[American in Israel]

Every map I have seen here except the satellite map shows the Area the Jews have agreed to "trade" for peace. The Golan they have never traded, it is just shows designated as "the Golan", not Israel. Islamic’s lie, all the time.

[Looking for Diogenes]

The Israeli one you posted is of the first type, it shows the region's physical features, not its administrative division.

If you can find an offical Israeli map which shows the Gaza Strip, West Bank, and Golan Heights as occupied areas, than you're a better web researcher than I am. I looked but couldn't find any.
