Golda Meir was Prime Minister of Israel from February 1969 to June 1974:                                                                                                               “When in 1921 I came to Palestine – until the end of World War I a barren, sparsely inhabited Turkish province – we, the Jewish pioneers, were the avowed Palestinians. So we were named in the world. Arab nationalists, on the other hand, categorically rejected the name. Arab spokesmen continued to insist that the land we had cherished for centuries was, like Lebanon, merely a fragment of Syria. Until the 1960’s, attention was focused on the Arab refugees for whose plight the Arab...

  BUT how many people care about the truth any more? What will it take for the world to wake up to the fact that they have been royally duped! Genocide and famine are the creation of Hamas, to seek support from their supporters and useful idiots around the world – and the world media fell for it. The first time the name “ Palestine ” came into use was around 2000 years ago when the Romans invaded the Jewish nation of Judea. That, by the way, is where the word “Jew” came from. After the Romans occupied Judea, they called it Syria Palestina . Fast forward to the end of the Ottoman Empire. In 1917 and 1918, the area known as “Palestine” came under British control. In 1919, the League of Nations divided up the Ottoman empire and Great Britain was appointed to govern the area - establishing the British Mandate in Palestine. Out of self-interest and political motives, the British carved off a huge piece of Palestine and created Jordan. In 1947, the UN proposed to partition the rest...

  At the conclusion of WWI, a conference was held in 1920 at San Remo that determined the precise boundaries for territories captured by the Allies. The attendees were the Principal Allied Powers, with The United States as a neutral observer. Great Britain was given the mandate for the establishment, in Palestine, of a national home for the Jewish people. “Whereas recognition has thereby been given to the historical connection of the Jewish People with Palestine and grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country.” The Arabs received equivalent national rights in all the remaining parts of the Middle East – over 96% of the total area formerly governed by the Ottoman Turks. A year later, Winston Churchill cut off 75 percent of the territory of British Palestine area officially recognized as a Jewish national home, - which he named “Transjordan - and   gave it to the Hashemite dynasty from Arabi. Current-day Israel is only a quarter the size of the...

  WHY ISRAEL? It is hard to understand why the territory of Israel was chosen by God as the Jewish homeland. A small narrow piece of land, not at all distinctive and with no obvious resources. The very location proves that Israel   cannot be built into an empire. If one considers the geography: the Judean hills in one direction, the Sinai desert in the other, with a narrow coastal plain open to easy attack from the sea. Situated at the juncture of powerful empires makes it a major trade route,    both   strategic and vulnerable. Israel must always be a small country.                                                                                                    ...

    President Donald Trump’s miraculous intervention in Israel’s lone fight to rid the world of the threat of Iran’s nuclear capabilities   reminded me of a previous blog.   President Trump’s declaration of the recognition of Jerusalem , in 2017, as the Jew’s eternal capital was an unprecedented move and, unfortunately, not followed up by our other so-called Western allies. Jerusalem has always been considered the eternal capital of the Jewish people. It is mentioned more than 600 times in the Hebrew Bible and has more synagogues per capita than any city in the world. Religious Jews all over the world have always prayed three times a day, facing Jerusalem. In Israel today, everyone has complete freedom of worship. It is the only city in which some 15 different Christian communities live alongside one another. Jerusalem’s Mount of Olives is home to 150,000 Jewish graves dating back to the 1400’s. During the Jordanian occupation of Jerusalem, Jews were not al...

Remember what caused the ongoing war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip? On October 7, 2023,  Hamas  terrorists waged the deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust — slaughtering babies, committing sexual violence, burning whole families alive, and taking over 250 civilians hostage. Hamas murdered  more than 1,200  Israelis during the attack. The area known today as the Gaza Strip was allocated in the 1947 UN Partition Plan for a prospective Arab state. Its borders were based on the ceasefire line that ended the fighting after the 1948 War of Independence. The failure of further diplomatic efforts to end the Arab-Israeli conflict turned, what was intended to be a temporary armistice line, into a de-facto boundary, and the Gaza Strip into a distinct geopolitical entity. L ocked in one of the world’s most densely populated areas, along with unsettled political status, Gaza has always been a focal point of the Israeli-Arab conflict. It has also been, perhaps, the m...
