Palestinian Authority worried Israel may annex Area C
Arutz Sheva ^ | 9/1/17 | Dalit Halevi

Posted on 01/09/2017 4:28:15 AM PST by Eleutheria5

The Palestinian Authority's International Relations Department in Ramallah condemned Israel's "empiralistic calls" to annex Area C, warning such a move may have "dangerous consequences" and would destroy any chance of a "Palestinian" state.

"We have been told that the right-wing leadership of Israel is calling to annex what is called the settlement blocs in area C of Judea and Samaria. The first areas they wish to annex are those around Jerusalem. This is in order to begin a discussion amongst the Israeli public not about ending the occupation but about making it stronger and applying Israeli law to Palestinian areas," wrote the PA in a public announcement. "If this plan comes to fruition, it will put and end to our opportunity to create a Palestinian state which can exist side by side with Israel."

The PA also said, "Israel is fighting a cruel war against the existence of Palestinians, their homes, and their property, by expelling Palestinians from our land and stealing Palestinian land for settlements."

In truth, the European Union and the United Nations fund illegal Arab building in all areas of Israel. Unlike Jewish illegal buildings, illegal Arab buildings are often ignored by authorities. Instead, the Arabs are given a free pass to build as much as they wish, even when it threatens Jewish towns.

Whatever land we've given them, we've given them. Let them make their stupid state there, if that's what they want. But it isn't.

In 1947 Palestine was split into Israel and Jordan. The Palestinians already have a state, it’s called Jordan.
They just want an excuse, any excuse, to hate Jews.

Saudi Arabia, Indonesia or several other Muslim states could easily absorb them, but then they wouldn’t be a cudgel against Israel and the United States.

There is not, and never shall be, a “Palestinian nation”. Those denizens of the West Bank and Gaza have NEVER undertaken the necessary task to build a viable political structure, or form any degree of cultural cohesiveness, beyond some nebulous concept of “driving the Jews into the sea”, definitely NOT a basis for a “two-state” solution.

Relocate the entire population of persons of Muslim persuasion in both Gaza and the West Bank to another locality in the world (I would suggest Antarctica or the heart of the Sahara Desert), and let the Israeli people fulfill their destiny.

Plenty of room in North Africa - let the Pali’s move there.

There’s no such thing as “Palestinian land”. Most “Palestinians” are from Jordan, Lebanon, or Egypt. “Palestine” is another name for Israel given to it by foreign conquerors. Historically, the land has belonged to the Israelis for 3,200 years.

There are a lot of contentious issues going on here, but one thing that seems pretty certain to me is that Palestinians are not Jordanians. In fact, Jordan faced their own insurrection among the Palestinians back in the early 1970s, and it almost resulted in the collapse of the Jordan entirely.

Annex it and be done with it.

Though that said, I almost favor giving the Palestinians exactly what they asked for, their own state. Then when they inevitably launch rockets into Israel (because there’s no way they won’t), go crush them as a formal state perpetrating acts of war and be done with it. “We gave you a state, you kept attacking us, no more state for you.”

Sorry -- that should have said "... collapse of the Jordan government ..."

The Palestinians can't get their own state under current circumstances because the geography and politics simply won't work.

Someone actually proposed an interesting "Three-State Solution" recently that made more sense than a "Two-State Solution" in many ways. That proposal involved the creation of two separate Palestinian states, recognizing the reality that the West Bank and Gaza can never be a contiguous state and have grown increasingly disconnected politically and economically.

Their destiny is to slaughter Arabs until they are left in peace.

They can do that right now.

Recognize Egyptian sovereignty over Ghaza, and let them clean out Hamas. As for Judah and Samaria, whatever they got under Oslo is all they’re getting. Annex the rest. Then start demanding an independent state for Arab Christians in Bethlehem and Beit Jaaleh.

Does Egypt even want Gaza?

False.

The artificial state of "Jordan" is a Hashemite superstructure over a Bedouin culture.

The Palestinians are settled Arabs. If they belong anywhere (besides Israel) it would be Syria and Iraq.

But this is all foolishness. They aren't going anywhere, and they have no reason to stop fighting because Israel's crazy mixed signaling has left them believing they can win.

And since the root of Israel's mixed signaling is the same self-loathing gender fluid suicidal Western culture they brought with them, maybe the "Palestinians" can win.

That’s fine too. The objective would be to give the Palestinians actual statehood somewhere - and then when they inevitably attack Israel, Israel will be well justified under the laws of nations in attacking and eradicating this nation that has decided to commit acts of war against it. Problem solved.

No, Egypt doesn’t want them either. The only time and reason Egypt wants Gaza is to make political points against Israel, but they’re not at all interested in that now. More info here: https://www.quora.com/Why-doesnt-Egypt-annex-the-Gaza-strip-and-provide-Palestinians-living-there-with-a-reasonable-life

The Egyptians are singularly uninterested in having Gaza, or rather Gaza’s problems, in their country.

Didn’t that already happen in 1969?

No, because the Palestinians didn’t have a state. Much like today’s struggles against Al-Queida and ISIS, the PLO in 1969 was a stateless entity.

Israel gave the Gaza Strip away to the Pali’s. Did that action bring any peace and good will? Hardly.
