Sacrificing Israel to Appease Hamad's Jihad and Conquest

"The name Palestine, in its Geek form Palaistine, was both a  transliteration of a word used to describe the land of the Philistines and, at the same time, a literal translation of the name Israel."

Historian David Jacobson, Bulletin of the American Schools of Oriental Research 

 

"The Palestinian people does not exist ... there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese."

"We are all part of one people, the Arab nation [...] Just for political reasons we carefully underwrite our Palestinian identity. Because it is of national interest for the Arabs to advocate the existence of Palestinians to balance Zionism."

"Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons[...] Once we have acquired all our rights in all of Palestine, we must not delay for a moment the reunification of Jordan and Palestine."

Palestine in the ancient world was part of the region known as Canaan where the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah were located. The term `Palestine' was originally a designation of an area of land in southern Canaan which the people known as the Philistines occupied a very small part of.

The Canaanites, Canaanite-Phoenicians, and the Israelites, among others, established themselves in the area much earlier. The Philistines are thought to have come to the area toward the end of the Bronze Age c. 1276 BCE and established themselves on the southern coastal plain of the Mediterranean Sea in an area afterwards known as Philistia.

The whole of the region was referred to as `Canaan' in Mesopotamian texts and trade records found at Ebla and Mari as early as the 18th century BCE while the term `Palestine' does not appear in any written records until the 5th century BCE in the Histories of Herodotus. After Herodotus, the term `Palestine' came to be used for the entire region which was formerly known as Canaan.

Hamas is fulsome in its praise for the definitive statements on Palestinian statehood issued by France, Britain, Australia and Canada, among others. All of these countries formerly while supporting Palestinian statehood as an aspiration were supportive of the diplomatic channels between Israel and Palestinian leaders to reach a joint agreement on such a declaration in support of statehood for 'Palestinians'. Time and again efforts to reach that historical agreement failed. And time and again it was those calling themselves Palestinians that rejected that two-state solution, just as they had in 1947.

 

It took a cataclysmic event to convince Israel's purported allies to jettison their historical approach to Palestinian statehood. With the full knowledge available to them that it would take a final and absolute agreement on the part of the Palestinians to recognize Israel's existence, and to no longer challenge that existence. That event was the October 7, 2023 savagery that Palestinian terrorists - from Hamas operatives to the PLFP, Fatah, Islamic Jihad and Palestinian civilians themselves breaching the border from Gaza to Israel to launch a well-planned raid of farming communities; raping, mutilating, murdering and  hostage-taking.

 

That wholesale sadistic barbarism led inevitably to the launch of a military invasion by Israel, which responded as any other country that would have reeled in shock and disbelief at the scope and depth of the depravity of terrorism targeting their civilian population by marching into the enemy territory from whence wholesale death emerged to destroy the structure, weaponry, and leaders, alongside the foot soldiers of terrorism in a determination that never again would that source commit such a mass atrocity. A source more than committed to offering up its own civilian population as protective shields.

 

The victimhood plight of Palestinians used as a public relations tool whereby Palestinian  terrorist groups could arrest and manipulate international public opinion to damn Israel and support Palestinian statehood aspirations. "We're under no illusions that this [recognition of a Palestinian state] is any sort of panacea, but it's necessary, in our judgment and the judgment of most other countries in the world, that we have to push on this now. So, we're doing what we can, but recognizing limitations", offered Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney. 

 

A prime minister and a government in Canada that has permitted its own Muslim population and Palestinian student groups to maximize the pressure of threats on Jewish Canadians for two years, since October 7, violating the very hate laws of the country in the process, and committing continual civic infractions of the public and social and law-and-order weal with impunity, because Jews are expendable and all the more so, Israeli lives under ongoing threat of the Middle East Islamist threat to the existence of a Jewish state. 

 

Hamas itself, the instigator and perpetrator of the mass atrocity that ultimately spurred Europe and other 'allies' of civilized, democratic Israel to abandon justice for the sake of their sanctimonious perceived need to avoid the spirit of 'genocide' purportedly threatening Palestinians, is delighted with those allies and indeed the entire reaction of the United Nations' membership. Aside from continuing to attack Israel, alongside its other Iran-sponsored-and-armed surrogates Hezbollah and the Houthis, Hamas fairly chortles with delight over the success of its propaganda war uplifting its agenda of Jewish annihilation and territorial conquest.  

"[Recognition, representing reward for] years of struggle, perseverance, and sacrifice."

"This action [of state recognition] is an important step in establishing the right of the Palestinian people to their land and sanctities and on the path to establishing n independent state with Holy Quds [Jerusalem] as its capital, which is the result of years of struggle, perseverance, and sacrifice of our people on the path of freedom and return."

Hamas statement

 

"We welcome these developments and consider them in the right direction toward isolating the fascist Israeli government globally, and ending the longest-ever occupation in our modern time.
"[Israel] constitutes a security, military and political catastrophe to the Arab and Islamic nation, and must be finished."

Ghazi Hamad, Hamas spokesman 

"There is no solution to the Palestinian question except by Jihad. All initiatives, proposals, and International Conferences are all  waste of time and vain endeavours." 

"The Islamic Resistance Movement believes that the land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf [endowment] consecrated for future Muslim generations until Judgement Day. It, or any part of it, should not be squandered: it, or any part of it, should not be given up." 

"The question of the liberation of Palestine is bound to three circles: the Palestinian circle, the Arab circle and the Islamic circle. Each of these circles has its role in the struggle against Zionism."

"Arab countries surrounding Israel are asked to open their borders before the fighters from among the Arab and Islamic nations so that they could consolidate their efforts with those of their Muslim brethren in Palestine. As for the other Arab and Islamic countries, they are asked to facilitate the movement of the fighters from and to it, and this is the least thing they could do."

"Writers, intellectuals, media people, orators, educators and teachers, and all the various sectors in the Arab and Islamic world - all of them are called upon to perform their role, and to fulfill their duty. Jihad is not confined to the carrying of arms and the confrontation of the enemy." 

"The Zionist project is a racist, aggressive, colonial and expansionist project based on seizing the properties of others; it is hostile to the Palestinian people and to their aspiration for freedom, liberation, return and self-determination. The Israeli entity is the plaything of the Zionist project and its base of aggression."

"Hamas rejects any alternative to the full and complete liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea."

"Hamas welcomes the stances of states, organizations and institutions that support the rights of the Palestinian people."
