It is time to acknowledge that Israel is not an occupier. Israel successfully defended itself
against threats of annihilation by five Arab countries in 1967, and regained control over
Jerusalem, the Golan Heights, Judea and Samaria (West Bank), the Sinai Peninsula, and Gaza.
Despite Arab aggression, the UN called on Israel to withdraw from the territories it won from the
aggressors (never required of other countries). Israel has been the rightful owner of her land
since before the Christian era and was granted legal sovereignty by the United Nations in 1948.
Under Israeli rule, all people and religious shrines are respected and protected.
The demand of land for Arab refugees is no longer valid, just as it is invalid for the 600,000
Jewish refugees of 1948. It is time that these political hostages moved on and returned to their
ancestral homes (Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Iraq), just as Jews were absorbed by Israel and
all others are absorbed after the displacement that comes from war, particularly as these wars
were begun and lost by the Arabs.
Land for peace does not work because the land is not returned when the agreement is breached.
Each of Israels withdrawals has resulted in the transformation of fertile farms, productive
businesses and comfortable homes into war zones with rockets fired at Israel. Perhaps it is time
for Mahmoud Abbas, not Israel, to make concessions for peace.
When Syria lost the Golan Heights in its 1979 war on Israel, Syria signed a disengagement
agreement, and the Golan became home to 46,000 Druze and Jewish residents who are living
together in peace and comfort. The United Nations must stop acting as Islams negotiators.
It is time to stop demanding proportionate responses to Arab aggression, or Israelis would be
obliged to reciprocate in kind, perhaps with more accuracy. During the Al Aqsa Intifada, from
September 30, 2000 to March 2013, 8,749 rockets and 5,047 mortar shells were fired on Israelis;
at least 2,257 rockets were fired on Israel in 2012 alone, in addition to blowing up cars, and
stoning cars (both acts deadly).
UNESCO (UN Department of Political Affairs) is discriminating against Israel's 13-panel
exhibition, Israel Matters, demanding that three panels not expose the truth, but comply with the
Palestinian narrative. It is time to enforce the truth and negate the damage caused by the fallacies
that feed jihad.
It is time for the United Nations to stand up to bullying tyranny, despotism, and to start allowing
the truth to come into the light. Stop pacifying and supporting Palestinian propaganda. Muslims
increase their respect for others when they see a strong adversary. The only way to "calm
tensions and increase confidence" is to show your mettle. Truth must prevail because the lies will
allow for humanity's destruction.
