Questions and Answers are cited below as

"Q" and "A"



Annexed is Rabbi Dr. Julian M White's Open Letter "On Israel's Facing Unabated Terror," July 17, 2005.

1. Q: Why does the L.A. Times editorial of August 1, 2005, - "Exodus strategy," move essentially to reward terrorism instead of punishing it?

A: The answer is on a mistaken assumption that the problem is one of territory, -to build two states. One is the so-called "Palestine," and the other is the designated "Israel." Palestine is purportedly owned by the Arabs, except for a tiny part of that territory designated as Jewish under the name of Israel.

2. Q: What is the actual title history of the foregoing?

A: "Palestine" (or land of the "Philistines") is the name Rome attached to Israel ("Eretz Yisrael") for the purpose of exiling the Jews from their homeland in punishment for their revolts against Rome.

3. Q: What happened to the exiled "homeland"?

A: Substantially all travelers who visited the so-called "Holy Land" after Rome exiled its Jewish owners, -attest that it became and remained a land of emptiness and funereal countenance, where "wolves howled in the streets of Jerusalem."

4. Q: How come Israel is today so flourishing?

A: That is because the Jewish and Christian Zionists convinced the world of the 19th Century that the Jews were wrongly deprived of their homeland and entitled to its return, with Christian backing.

5. Q: Was the foregoing intention implemented?

A: Yes, -by the Balfour Declaration of 1917, the agreement of 1919 between Chaim Weizmann for the Jews and the Emir Faisal for the Arabs, followed by the 1920 League of Nations recognition of the Israeli Jewish homeland, followed then by the joint U.S. 1922 Congressional Resolutions in support.

6. Q: How were the foregoing intentions implemented?

A: Beginning in the last quarter of the 19th Century, and extending into the 20^thCentury and thereafter, -the Jews rebuilt their homeland and declared its existence as a state May 13, 1948.

By about 1925, it was already a very viable state by agriculture, manufacturing, defense organization, culture and otherwise.

7. Q: Where does this Arab population (now calling themselves Palestinians) come from?

A: The huge majority of them, or their near Arab forebears, are emigres into Israel from Arab lands.

8. Q: Why?

A: Because they found in Israel jobs, a better lifestyle available, plus customary Jewish hospitality.

9. Q: Did the Arabs thank the Jews for their hospitality?

A: No. Consistent with their Bedouin background, they attacked their Jewish hosts.

10. Q: What was the Arab response to the Jewish Declaration of Independence in 1948?

A: An immediate attack by five leading Arab powers, on Israel, -literally to drive the Jews into the sea.

11. Q: Did the attackers call themselves Palestinians?

A: By no means. They called themselves proud members of the Arab Nation.

12. Q: When did a portion of the Arabs living in Israel, -change their name to "Palestinians"?

A: They did not call themselves Palestinians until they had lost all their wars to "chase the Jews back into the sea."

13. Q: What did they do then?

A: They saw that it was necessary to use diplomacy rather than force against the Jews. The Arabs therefore worked with the United Nations and similar-minded bodies governed by Arab or Iranian majorities intending to deprive the Jewish homeland Israel, of any international recognition or support.

14. Q: Did or do the Arabs actually need the Jewish Homeland or any part thereof?

A: No. The Arabs already have a huge homeland, poorly exploited (except for petro products opened up for them by foreign experts), -and running from the eastern center of the Mediterranean all the way out to Gibralter where the Mediterranean empties into the Atlantic Ocean.

15. Q: Is there justification for washing the Jews out of a part of their homeland called the Gaza Strip which empties into Egypt?

A: None whatever. That portion of the strip contains invaluable Israeli technical achievements including in garden exploitation.

16. Q: What is actually going on here?

A: The Jews have attempted over and over again, -but in vain, to get peace from the Arabs in exchange for Jewish territory ceded to the Arabs.

In consequence, Israel is left with an almost un-defendable 10,500 sq. mi. of territory running from Jordan on the East to the Mediterranean on the west. Nearly 5 million Arab sq. mi. now already in Arab hands.

17. Q: Why then the annexed L.A. Times editorial- "Exodus strategy"?

A: Because the result of the so-called "strategy" is to create a so-called "Palestine" state which never existed as an Arab territory.

18. Q: Is there any hope for peace between the Jews and the Arabs?

A: Yes.

19. Q: How should that be done?

A: Beginning with the facts recognized in two recent United Nations Reports on the Arab nation.

Those reports show that the Arab nation suffers from a lack of culture, creativity, productivity, a tendency to lie in substitution for reality, and to violence, -even among themselves.

The cited United Nations reports on the Arab people recommend rebuilding the Arabs, but not on the assumption that the Arabs enemy is the "Zionist" entity.

20. Q: Does this bring us back to 1492 Spain?

A: Yes. That was where the Jews and Arabs (Muslims) functioned pretty much as racial cousins ("people of the desert").

21. Q: What happened in Spain?

A: It was through the Jews and Arabs living in Spain and Egypt that the culture of the ancient Greeks was developed further into what became the Italian Renaissance.

22. Q: What were some of the results?

A: The Arab-Jewish culture contributed in Spain to the development of the science of irrigation and the building of some of the most beautiful structures the world has seen, e.g., the Alhambra. 23. Q: But what happened to the Arab-Jewish collaboration after 1492?

A: The Christians of Spain having overcome their Muslim Arab and Jewish residents, exiled them from Spain and dominions.

24. Q: What happened to the exiles?

A: The Jews kept on creating and working, -continuing to the present day, and produced mightily as evident in part from their Nobel Prize laureates.

On the other hand, the Arab Muslims elected to concentrate their attention on "who has done this to us?" and insisting on blaming the Jews all the way down to the present times.

25. Q: What then would you propose to do with the situation?

A: Take advantage of the recent UN reports and otherwise to convince the Arabs that their well-being lies in cooperation instead of hatred between the Jews and Arabs.

Judging from what the Jews have been able to do in Israel, -notwithstanding its enormous security and other problems- there is every reason to believe that collaboration instead of confrontation between Jews and Arabs, will eventuate in a new Eden along the Mediterranean.
