Defining 'Peace' in the Middle East
Posted on 03/10/2020 8:30:26 AM PDT by Kaslin
When most Americans think about or speak of peace, we have in mind the relationship between America and Canada. For Europeans, it may be like the relationship between Belgium and France. But in the Middle East, at best it seems to be an absence of war and among the Arabs, it can be just a hudna, or a break in between wars -- or an even more dangerous notion of peace when it comes to their Jewish neighbors.
Some Arab leaders, including even Palestinian Authority president-for-life Mahmoud Abbas, have said that they support peace with Israel. United Nations officials and many other world leaders have also spoken out in support of peace in the Middle East and some have even been intimately involved in the peace process -- especially American leaders. And of course Jews and Israelis have prayed for peace for millennia. But are all of these people referring to the same thing?
It doesn’t seem to be the case.
We can tell when they get into the details about peace what they really mean, and it becomes even more revealing when one of them asserts what is supposedly preventing peace from breaking out.
I have lost count of how many times an official of a government somewhere, or a United Nations official or a leader at a related agency, or an NGO head, or some media pundit claimed that a Jewish community somewhere prevents peace between Arabs and Israelis.
How can that possibly be? How can homes that Jews live in hamper peace? Don’t Jews have rights, including the right to live where they choose? Isn’t opposing that right or treating Jews differently discrimination?

Rules of Engagement With Muslims -
1) If infidels are present, Sunni with unite with Shiite to enslave (economically and sexually), convert, or annihilate all infidels
2) If no infidels are present, Sunni will turn against Shiite until one annihilates the other.
Hasn’t changed in hundreds of years.
So long as two mooselimbs are left, there can be none!
“Don’t Jews have rights, including the right to live where they choose?”
Don’t Palestinians have rights, including the right to live where they choose?
The dirty little secret is there are plenty of Arabs that live in Israel and get along just fine with Jews, and they much prefer to live in Israel than in any other Arab country.
No and No! Neither do you!
——a hudna, or a break in between wars——
“Peace...... the interval between wars” bert
War is the natural condition and is Darwinian survival of the fittest.
The Middle East aside, Europe is proving unfit to survive. The warriors are all dead and their genes gone
“Truce” means “Reload” in Arabic.
If we accept the definition of peace as “a state or period in which there is no war or a war has ended” then there will never be peace in the Middle East. And both sides prefer it that way. If the Trump ‘deal of the century’ has accomplished anything it removed the U.S. from ever again being in the middle trying to negotiate something. From here on out it’s in the hands of Israel and the Palestinians to make peace or not make peace, whichever they want. We’re out of it.
Once the state-of-the-art model city project goes up in Saudi Arabia, the welfare-lovin' Parasitinians will empty out the "west bank" and Gaza strip so fast the Arab criminal gangs won't be able to find so much as a special needs kid to blow themselves up.

“Don’t Jews have rights, including the right to live where they choose?”
YES, especially in the one and only Jewish state on the planet.
“Don’t Palestinians have rights, including the right to live where they choose?”
NOT IN THE JEWISH STATE if palies GOAL IS TO KILL THE JEWS AND TAKE OVER THE JEWISH STATE.
there are FIFTY SIX MUSLIM STATES.
Israel (and now Trump) have REPEATEDLY offered to help create ANOTHER F*CKING MUSLIM STATE, carved out of JEWISH ISRAEL.
Since 1948, EVERY offer has been rejected. Now they and their MORON SUPPORTERS complain the latest offer (including GIVING UP ISRAEL GIVING HALF OF JERUSALEM) and giving the palies FIFTY F*CKING BILLION $) isn’t good enough.

Two-thirds of Palestinians are in favour of starting a new intifada - or uprising - as their likelihood of statehood drastically reduced with US President Donald Trump’s so-called Deal of the Century, a new study has revealed.
According to research conducted by the Palestinian Center for Political and Survey Research, Palestinians are losing hope that diplomacy can achieve self-determination and many see armed resistance as their last hope for freedom.
The survey showed 77 percent of Palestinians favour a new intifada - an armed uprising against the Israeli occupation - while 84 percent believe in withdrawing Palestinian recognition of Israel.
Another two-thirds voted in favour of Palestinians said they believed in halting security coordination with Israel - a key negotiation of the Oslo Accords - which 69 percent of Palestinians believe should be withdrawn.
