The Arab-Israeli question has plagued society for as long as there has been an Arab and an Israeli, they are diametrically opposed to one another by virtue of the fact that each other exists.

This point is lost on most, as evidenced by a recent point in the published report of the Iraq study group: “there must be a renewed and sustained commitment by the United States to a comprehensive Arab-Israeli peace on all fronts.” This notation perpetuates an ongoing myth: that the existence of Israel is the cause (or one of the causes) of Islamic terrorism. This of course is without merit. For most Islamic extremists, Israel is simply a justification to foment murder and terror, just like Iraq or a thousand other excuses.

For most of these radicals their mission is quite clear: world domination. Their goal is a universal Islamic state, their followers and leaders have admitted as much in both spoken and written word. Their actions demonstrate this resolve on a daily basis. Thus the simple conclusion is obvious there can be no peaceful resolution of the Arab-Israeli question (short of one side annihilating the other as proposed by Iran) as it is propagated on several myths. The first myth being the so-called Palestinian actually want peace. If this were true, then peace would reign this very day over the skies of Israel, for 6 years ago, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak offered then Palestinian leader Yassir Arafat everything but the kitchen sink, toward the creation of a Palestinian state, and still Arafat balked, why? Because peace is not their goal.

To be true, the Israelies have made numerous mistakes, but it is the actions of their Arab counterparts that have led to decades of war. Yet another myth is the fabled Palestinian state itself. There has NEVER been a Palestinian state in all of human history. Sure there were hundreds of thousands of people of Arab descent living in what is today Israel (just as there were hundreds of thousands of Hebrews living in many of today’s modern Arab states), but there was never a Palestine.

Long before this land was the subject of so much controversy it was the home of King David et al., following the rise of Rome, Judea became a Roman province for centuries, after Rome was permanently divided, the land was under the authority of the Byzantine Empire, followed by the Ottoman Turks and later the British (after WWI) and finally the creation of the modern state of Israel in 1948.

And what of these so-called Palestinians, what have their Arab neighbors done for them, those Arabs who care so much for the welfare of their beleaguered brethren, those Islamic radicals who care so much. Where are they? They are exactly where they were when that Tsunami struck in Indonesia killing thousands of Muslims – nowhere! Meanwhile nations like the US, Britain, Australia, (you know…the enemies of Islam) give billions to rebuild. These Islamic radicals are not and have no interest in promoting peace, now or anytime in the future these are ruthless, murdering, savages determined to dominate the globe in pursuit of their mantra: submit, convert or die. Depend upon it!
