Total Rejection: Arab League refuses to consider Israel a Jewish state

Share:

arab league meeting 011313The Arab League was united after a two-day summit in Kuwait in siding with the Palestinians in refusing to recognize Israel as a Jewish state, a flashpoint issue threatening to derail U.S.-brokered peace talks.

Arab leaders announced their “total rejection of the call to consider Israel a Jewish state,” in the final statement.

The Palestinians recognized Israel at the start of the peace process in the early 1990s.

But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu now insists they acknowledge it as the national homeland of the Jewish people, in a move which would effectively torpedo the “right of return” for Palestinian refugees.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is facing an uphill battle to keep the floundering peace talks on track beyond an April 29 deadline.

Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas, fresh from talks with U.S. President Barack Obama in Washington last week, told the summit that Palestinians “reject even discussing the issue.”

Netanyahu has placed the recognition dispute at the forefront of the talks, describing Arab rejection of the Jewish state as the “root of the conflict”.

For the Palestinians, the issue is intimately entwined with the fate of their refugees who were forced out of their homes or fled in 1948 when Israel became a state.

They see Netanyahu’s demand as a way to sidestep a negotiated solution to the refugee question.

    Everyone is entitled to a state based on self-determination but the Jews.

    The earth rotates around the sun.
    The seasons are changing every couple of month.
    The glassier are moving forward and backward.
    Children are born and grow up.
    Birds migrate and return.
    Only one fact never changes.

    Arabs refusal to recognize Israel, the Jewish state, was valid in 1947 and reminds valid as well today.

    All the other issues discussed by the Arabs are only tactical means to divert the world form the main issue-Arabs quest to destroy Israel.
    (I must agree that they are quite successful in diverting the attention.
    They are acting in line with the Takiyya doctrine, lying and masking their goals to the infidels)

    Following 3 appetizers example said only in Arabic and not English or any other language.

    1:After the Arabs attack the infant defending Israel on 1948:
    Egypt controlled Gaza.
    Jordan controlled the West bank.
    Palestinians could demand independence.
    They could form a Palestine state.
    !!!! By they did not– gues why?!!!.

    2: Al Jazeera interview:
    “If we say that we want to wipe Israel out its too difficult.
    It’s not acceptable policy to say so.
    Don’t say these things to the world. Keep it to yourself.
    Everybody knows that the greater goal cannot be accomplished in one go””

    3:”The peace talks with Israel are part of ARAB STARTEGY TO ISOLATE ISRAEL and threaten its legitimacy.”
    Palestine Ambassador Abdullah Abdullah in Lebanon.

    The following Oscar Wild great sentence is applicable to naïve (or not- who nows?) president Obama demands from Israel:
    “”True friends stab you in the ront.”
