Thank you for posting this. It clearly refutes the lefties screaming about Israel "taking" land from the Palestinians. And also puts to rest their misinformed belief that Palestine is a country.

So how do we get the word out to Destro, the Country, and the World, that this is why Israel must NEVER give up Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria?

Arafat wants a chunk of Israel (Gaza and "West Bank") to be his "Palestinian" state but he isn't squealing to the UN for a chunk of Jordan too. Why is this?

Because the previous Hashemite monarch kicked his butt 33 years ago?

There never has been a 'country' called "Palestine". There was/is a geographic area called 'Palestine' but it was never a country.

Why does Yasser Arafat and his PLO demand the creation of a second "Palestinian" state?

The country of Jordan comprises most of the land of "Palestine". The great majority of Jordan's population is "Palestinian", the Jordanian army is comprised of a majority of "Palestinians", and most of the Arabs living in the Israeli administered territories hold Jordanian passports. In addition to this, the 1970 Jordanian-PLO war was considered a civil war and recorded as such.

The evidence is overwhelming. An independent Palestinian Arab state already exists in the Middle East in the form of Jordan nearly 80 percent of the whole of Palestine. So why do politicians and the news media keep beating on Israel to withdraw to indefensible boundaries?

Arafat wants a chunk of Israel (Gaza and "West Bank") to be his "Palestinian" state but he isn't squealing to the UN for a chunk of Jordan too. Why is this?

How stupid do you think we are? Gaza and the West Bank are 90%+ Arab. Why shouldn't the residents have the right to be an Arab state, instead of Israeli military occupied territories?

Or is what you are really saying that the Arab inhabitants should be expelled across the Jordan to make "defensible" geographic and ethnic borders?

If that's the case, I'll call you a supporter of Israeli Naziism.

Because it's not about a "Palestinian" state; it's about the complete annihilation of the Jewish one.

OK, give the West Bank back to Jordan, toss in the Gaza Strip, tell them to keep the people in line, and the problem is solved. Right?
