The Middle East Conflict?

After the uprising by Bar Kochba around 70 A.D. the Romans, when quelling the uprising, killed hundreds of thousands of Jews, destroyed the Temple, banished the Jews from the entire area, renamed the area Palestinium and erected one of their own temples on the site of the Temple Mount. There were never any indigenous "Palestinian" people. The Arabs that were in the region during the period when the Ottomans held dominion and when it was turned over to the British after WWI were basically nomadic individuals in an inhospitable and arid region.

Most of the troubles that affect Israel today are a result of British and French imperial meddling after the Treaty of Versailles. Winston Churchill created the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and installed King Abdullah on a throne that had not existed before.

The "two-state solution" is often glorified as a means to achieve peace between Israel and the "Palestinian" Arabs. It is unrealistic, however. The Palestinians are a people who are fed propaganda and hatred, living in an environment that breeds the worst sort of extremism. The "two-state solution" is insupportable and unjustified. Although it has become part of international conventional wisdom, anxiously pursued by our State Department, the Palestinians are not entitled to any part of Israel; not by the slightest historical claim or right, not by law, not by military conquest, and certainly not because the international community lacks the will to confront and expose a trumped up case fabricated by the Muslim world in order to destroy the Jewish people. It is interesting to note that a Palestinian will face all sorts of restrictions if he/she wanted to become a citizen of any Muslim country even though the majority of Palestinians are ethnically Jordanian or Egyptian. Yasser Arafat, for example, was Egyptian. The discrimination Palestinians face in Arab countries is appalling and disturbing, and the fact that Arab countries never integrated these individuals is a travesty. If Palestinian Arabs were truly peaceful, it could be argued that integrating them into Israeli society would be ideal. However, at this point in history, integration is not impossible.
