Democracy for the Middle East

Pretending to Believe the Big Lie

Why does the West pretend to believe the Occupation Myth and press for a second Palestinian state? According to Victor David Hanson, it's the anti-Semitism stupid, and it's leading to an unimaginable conflagration down the road.

But there is one final consideration for those smug utopian architects in our state department and Europe that is completely forgotten in all this. There will be no second Holocaust. If almost all of the West Bank is returned, as is likely, and in a few years hostilities nevertheless resume as they did during phases 1-3 of the Middle East wars, as is also likely, the battle will be over Israel itself, not Palestinian land. That will be a war Israel will not lose, and it will be fought outside not inside the Jewish state. And that will be a nightmare compared to the current crisis. Those in Europe and in the United States who now lecture about morality will then prove to be not only amoral, but also answerable for far, far more still.

Writing in The Hill, the U.S. ambassador to the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe tries to set the record straight on why Israelis have a right to live on the West Bank.

Comments on this post:

The idea of a "Palestinian" State is not only absurd but dangerous as you have so clearly pointed out. The Arabs and Islamacists have repeated the lie so often in so many quarters (and with the state of education in history being what it is)that many of the uneducated masses actually believe the lie. The current "big lie" they are putting out is that America was originally Islamic! Just to cite one of their "proofs": Tallahassee, Florida (Tallahassee an Indian word is Islamic because it contains the word "allah"). They forget that just as the Torah said the 10 tribes were scattered to the four winds i.e every nation on earth. Paleo Hebraic (the 10 Commandment Luna inscription, for example) and anyone with even an intense amateurish interest in languages can see Paleo Hebrew influences even in the naming of many countries. The Islamist's have even come up with the absurdity that America was discovered by Muslims before the Vikings. Somebody had better be watching to make sure the Saud's aren't paying for the next edition of our children's history books.
