You do good work yonif. Carry on...

Very inciteful article. Thanks for posting.

""Occupation" which they say begun in 1967, why was the PLO established THREE YEARS before that "occupation" actually began? What were they fighting for then? "

Find me a sample of Palestinian langauge.

Cite the lineage of their Kings and queens.

Show me a giff of an ancient Palestinian coin.

Show me ancient Palestinan documents.

If you can then - I'll beleive in occupation.

I understand your points, but you left out the major operational control of the P.L.O., and that was, and remains, Moscow.

Arabs lie to "infidels".

Ever since the "profit" Mohammed took his six year old bride, and deflowered her at age nine.

It is all justified, by the "holey" Koran.

So what is new in the world?

Hmmmm,,,,

Not much!!!

[Shryke]

The answer lies within the premise of the current Palestinian Arab propaganda machine

That would be called Reuters, BBC, AP, and CNN, in that order. Hell, the BBC might be the worst now.

I am reading an arab biography of Arafat. They know he is a piece of cr*p, but they think there is no alternative.

The arab/Israeli problem is far too complex for most Americans to follow.

Good luck trying to educate them.

Inciteful? That might get him in trouble, better try insightful. :-)

Another point;
What occupation are the arabs talking about?
The "occupation" of Gaza?
Seems the PA runs that territory, and the West Bank as well.

If Israel was "occupying" those areas, there would be no need to refer to "incursions" of Jenin, Ramallah, etc., by Israeli forces, would there?

Because the IDF would already be there, wouldn't they?
However, Gaza and the West Bank are not occupied, at least by Israel.

They must be referring to Arabs calling themselves palestinians, who occupy Israeli lands.

"They must be referring to Arabs calling themselves palestinians, who occupy Israeli lands."

BINGO!

I have just one peaceful solution:..Offer a reward to any Arab nation that will "adopt" the PLO and remove them from Israel.

My other solution:..Remove all reporters and cameras and let Israel run over the PLO.

Yoni, another excellent column.

They don't want them! Next to Jews, Arabs hate palistinians more than anyone else. Transjordan was supposed to be the "palestinian state," but they got mostly run out of there... How many were killed? And of course, let's not forget what they did to Lebanon, in the civil war....

Good column.

The Golan..........forever Israel.

Yonif,
Great summary of a long long struggle.

I can't help wondering, however, why the concept of "occupation" wasn't rejected outright.

Acquisition by war is as old as history. Once a war is concluded, there can be no an occupation, it is assimilation. Anyone noticed that "occupied France" existed only until the surrender of Germany?

Another element is missing: "palestine" is a fictional country. A fictional country cannot be occupied.
As far as I'm concerned, there is a massive invasion of illegal immigrants presently waging terrorism on Israeli soil. All of it: from the Jordan to the Mediterranean.

Nice job, Yoni. Excellent points.
