Questions and Answers are cited below as
"Q" and "A"
1. Q: What prompted the above question?
A: I attended on the morning and Noon of November 9, 2004, a meeting at Rand Corporation to hear an address from the Israeli Ambassador, His Excellency Daniel Ayalon, on the Middle East Problem entitled: Israel's Fight Against Terror and Its Struggle. "
2. Q: Did you ask him a question publicly?
A: Yes.
3. Q: What was it?
A: Doesn't the Middle East solution first require some meeting of the minds on the facts within which the solution must be found?
4. Q: What should those facts include?
A: That the world wide assumption, - including in Israel, - that the establishment of a Palestinian State will solve the Middle East problem, - is part of the problem, rather than anything towards a solution of it.
5. Q: Why, - if at all, do the so-called "Palestinians" need a "Palestinian State "?
A: They don't. They already have 21 states consisting of 4-5 million sq. mi., - most of it inadequately exploited except for the area's oil bearing sands. The American's, and other states,' principal aid to them, is essential to help them exploit that area including for the benefit and security of the United States and its allies.
6. Q: Why do the Arabs demand a portion of Israel to be denominated as a "Palestinian State "?
A: Basically, the purpose of the fanatic Islamists, - is to drive the Israelis into the Mediterranean Sea. This is often expressed by the Arabs in wars and threats and religious hatred directed against Israel.
7. Q: What is the solution, - if any- to this problem?
A: Start first with the fact that the so-called "Palestinians" are Arabs who now call themselves "Palestinians," - are not such at all. "Palestinians " are in fact Jews of the "Jewish Homeland" (Eretz Yisrael) for more than 3 _ millennia as mentioned more than 600 times in the Holy Bible.
8. Q: How did a portion of the Arabs attacking Israel come to call themselves "Palestinians" instead of Arabs?
A: The purpose was to obscure the facts in Goebbels -sized "Big Lies."
9. Q: What are those "Big Lies"?
A: That every part of Palestine is Arab-owned.
10. Q: How do you know that?
A: Because:
(a) The Haj Amin Al Husseini was Hitler's then broadcaster to the Arabs during the Second World War. He was promised by Hitler an alliance with him to rid Palestine of the Jews.
(b) A further proof is that when the Arabs in five armies invaded Palestine on the Israeli Declaration of Independence, - they then called themselves Arabs. They made no mention of a "Palestinian" connection.
11. Q: When did they start calling themselves"Palestinians "?
A: Essentially, only when they had first exhausted their warring possibilities against Israel, - culminating in their loss of their surprise Yom Kippur War of 1973 against Israel.
12. Q: What happened then?
A: Then the Arabs turned to diplomacy by claiming that the Jewish Homeland belonged to the Arabs.
13. Q: How did they arrive at that conclusion?
A: By insisting that the Jewish Homeland is Arab territory.
14. Q: Are you referring to the same so-called "Palestine" previously headed by the now deceased Yasser Arafat's Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO)?
A: Yes.
15. Q: Do you mean by "Jewish Homeland" ("Eretz Yisrael"), what was renamed by the Romans in the early Common Era, by way of punishment of the Jews for their then revolt against Rome?
A: Yes. The Romans purported to exile the Jews from their"Homeland. " They ruled that Eretz Yisrael would be renamed "Palestine" (Land of the Philistines).
16. Q: What were the actual facts regarding Yasser Arafat and his claim to be the liberator of "Palestine" to its Arab owners?
A: He was not a Palestinian at all.
17. Q: What was he?
A: An Egyptian, - born in Cairo. He was employed by the Soviets on a continuing salary. The Soviets doctored the birth records of Yasser Arafat at Cairo and in Israel, so as to reflect Palestinian origin.
18. Q: Do you see a Middle East solution out of the facts thus revealed?
A: Not those alone, but there are additional facts.
19. Q: What are they?
A: That if the Semitic cousins, - Jews and Arabs, - worked together to exploit the Arab lands with Jewish help, - they could turn the area eventually into a new Garden of Eden.
20. Q: Is there any history to warrant such otherwise dreams?
A: Yes.
21. Q: Where and how?
A: Prior to 1492, when the Semitic cousins were exiled by the warring Christians of Spain, - those Semitic cousins cooperated in Spain, Morocco, Egypt and elsewhere.
22. Q: What did they produce by their collaboration?
A:
(a) Irrigation, agriculture and beautiful constructions at Granada, Alhambra and elsewhere;
(b) At Cordoba and Egypt, - philosophy, - such as that of the"Rambam " (Moses Maimonides);
(c) Cairo and elsewhere, - advances in the the sciences, including medicine.
(d) Also, by work of the Semitic cousins, they carried over from the culture of ancient Greece, through the Middle Ages and eventually through the Renaissance at Florence, Italy in the 15th Century.
(e) Through such as Voltaire, Locke, and others, - out of the Age of Enlightenment, the Semitic cousins gave birth to the Rights of Man, then the American Revolution and eventually to the democracy of our day.
23. Q: In sum:
(a) Stop concentrating on adding to the already hugely over-funded and dictator- controlled lands of the Arabs, - given to religious hate and exploitation by dictators.
(b) Concentrate instead on creation of an open assistance by Israel, - in joint commerce, industry and other development of the abundant but, inadequately exploited territories of the Arabs.
(c) Remember that the United Nations has issued two recent reports on the status and hope for cure of the essentially "sick" status of the Arab People.
(d) Those reports reveal that the "Arab People" is lacking in culture, creativity, productivity, but abundant in denial of reality by substitution of "lies" and constant violence of the grossest character, and unending warfare, including among themselves.
(e) If the Semitic cousins collaborate, they can and will uplift the Middle East and the world may know a new Eden.
