When the missiles stop firing into Israel from Gaza and the tunnels have been destroyed, when relative quiet descends on southern Israel, the Palestinian Authority and their allies on the left will once again demand absolute sovereignty for Palestinians west of the Jordan River. This is as predictable as the sun rising.
But the simple fact is that the Palestinians have already achieved sovereignty in the West Bank and they certainly have achieved sovereignty in Gaza.
Indeed The Palestinian Authority is an elected and recognized sovereign entity that wields regional governing power over Palestinian communities on the West Bank. The Palestinian Authority would no doubt achieve more regional governing powers with the attainment of peace. With peace. the PA might be granted a condominium in Jerusalem to serve as their administrative capital and they might be able to grant citizenship and regulate commerce, education, and other functions of governance. With peace, the PA might be granted a number of elected representatives to serve as members of the Israeli Knesset.
But this is not what the radicals have in mind. They want to ethnically cleanse all Jews from the West Bank making the region Judenrein. We're talking here about approximately 350 thousand Jews that they want stripped from their homes and kicked out simply because they are Jews.
The radicals also want the right to create their own army, to open their borders and to set their own foreign policy. They want Israel to at the same time weaken it's own border and put their own people at risk of attack by suicide bombers by taking down their protective wall and by swinging open the gates to their check-points allowing all to enter freely. They want Israel to welcome millions of Arab immigrants who claim, most often dubiously, that their previous generations had resided in Israel which they insist gives them such rights.
This is exactly what Israel did in Gaza and we saw how that turned out. Gaza was ethnically cleansed of Jews who were forced to abandon their successful organic farms. Gaza was turned over to the Palestinians who achieved absolute sovereignty. We saw what happened when the Palestinians of Gaza built their own Army, conducted their own foreign policy and traded with foreign nations in spite of Israel's efforts to stop the trading.
Rather than seizing the opportunity to turn Gaza into another Hong Kong, the Palestinians launched a war of aggression against Israel with the firing of upwards of ten thousand genocidal missiles and an unprecedented network of murder tunnels.
Would someone please explain how granting such absolute sovereignty on the West Bank be any different?
Yeppers...Jordan (aka east Palestine) is a sovereign country.
bttt
Palestine is Haram.........
Everything I ever needed to know about the Palestinians I learned during Black September.
If America was a sovereign nation we’d be allowed to enforce illegal crossings at our southern border.
Arab Palestine constitutes over 70% of mandatory Palestine. It is called Jordan.
