Bush Mentions the Big ‘O’ Word

George Bush bows to his god ‘oil’ and calls legitimate Israeli ownership of ‘Palestinian territories’ the big ‘O’ word — occupation¹.

I wonder which Bible George Bush reads because the one that I read, and which many other Christians around the world also do, says that Israel belongs to the Jews, including the land which he now calls ‘occupied Palestinian territories‘.

And what in the world is a Palestinian state anyhow? There’s never been in history any record of a Palestinian state, or a Palestinian people. If there were, we’d see archaeological records of such a people, their culture captured in relics, writings, paintings, etc.

Yet there’s none.

What we do see from archaeological digs and know from recorded history even outside of the Bible is that there was a Jewish state in that strip of land, and in the ‘occupied territories’.

So, where is the legitimacy for the claim of these ‘Palestinians’ who now demand a state on the world stage, and which countless world leaders are scrambling to help create at the expense of Israel’s security and at the cost of billions of dollars.

Just take a look at the map of this proposed state of Palestine that the world leaders are trying to carve out from Israeli land.

Really, how do you militarily defend a country that’s cut in the middle by a state that has some of the most hostile enemies even now firing rockets daily into Israel?

Perhaps you might also realize that if this were to be implemented, just imagine where the Katyusha rockets will then be able to hit on a daily basis from then on!

And here’s what’s worse — in order that there be peace in the region, compare what rights the Israelis are expected to compromise on and relinquish versus what the ‘Palestinians’ need to do.

Israel is expected to surrender:

• a vital part of Jerusalem (the rightful capital of the Jewish State)
• the Western Wall and the Temple Mount
• Christian and Jewish holy sites
• 95% of Judea and Samaria
• security by releasing convicted Arab terrorists from Israeli jails
• potentially the Golan Heights
• opposition to “the right of return” and they must absorb
  millions of Palestinian refugees and their descendants
  who chose to leave Israel, while disregarding rights of a
  comparable number of Jews expelled from Arab countries.

In return, the ‘Palestinians’ need only promise:

• dismantlement of terrorist groups
• future (false) ‘peace’

Some fair trade, eh?

It’ll seriously take a stupendous amount of stupidity and naivety on the part of any Jewish leader to agree to that!

Shabbat Shalom.
