Op-Ed: There is a Worldwide Plethora of Occupied Lands Published: Monday, September 19, 2011 8:46 AM
Countries who live in occupied glass houses shouldn't throw stones. But they do - only at Israel, of course.Steven Shamrak
There are many lands around the world that have been occupied not so long ago by other countries. Many of them are still subjugated to the rule of an occupying power. They were conquered during offensive or defensive wars, throughout the process of establishment of statehood or as a part of colonial and imperial policy.
The following is a far from complete list of the currently occupied lands:Great Britain - It still occupies 17 provinces of Ireland, Gibraltar and is holding on to the many residual symbols of her former colonial glory around the world.France - It is still holding on to many overseas territories like New Caledonia and French Guinea. France and Spain already divided the land in question and have no intention of granting independence to the Basque people, the oldest indigenous living group known in Europe.Belgium - This is an artificially forged country, which was created in order to protect the Netherlands from continuous attacks by France. There is still no love lost between the French and Flemish speaking populations of the country.China - The international community has done nothing to stop occupation of Tibet by China. Eastern, predominantly Muslim, provinces of China are still under imperial communist rule.
Chile - From the 1840s, heavy Anglo-Chilean investments were made in nitrate mining on the Bolivian coast. Bolivia lost its coastal region after the war of 1879-1884. Since then, Bolivia has been economically stifled by Chile with limited access to the sea ports.Indonesia - It was painful for Indonesia to allow freedom to East Timor. International pressure was applied only because huge oil reserves off the coast of East Timor were found. But there is no pressure in relation to the continuous occupation of Bali, West Papua and numerous islands that would love to obtain independence from the Muslim tyranny of Jakarta.Panama only proclaimed its independence after the US expressed interest in obtaining the rights to the canal, which Colombia had refused. US marines landed in Panama the same day that independence was declared.Russia has no plans to return the Eastern part of Poland it has occupied since before WW2 and end occupation of eastern Prussia, the Kuril Islands and Southern Sakhalin. Russia still retains its status as an imperial power by holding on to Chechnya , Dagistan, North Ossetia, Tatarstan and many other national enclaves which were occupied by Tsar.USA - The biggest and leading democracy of the world is one of the biggest occupiers as well. There is no intention of even talking about compensation for, never mind returning, the occupied land which used to be, not long ago, a part of Mexico. What about Puerto Rico, Hawaii and other strategic interests? The United Nations maintains a list of territories that do not govern themselves. The list was initially prepared in 1946 and adopted in 1986. It has officially endorsed control of these lands by their former colonial powers! That means the UN has officially justified occupation! It should be remembered that most countries around the world (including USA, UK, France, Germany, China and Russia) were forged and established their current borders during the last 300 years. Their creation was accompanied by dramatic conquests and the destruction of unique and independent cultures. In a Russian play one character asked the audience: Look, who are the judges? Yes, who are they to tell Jews what is their land and to force Israel to give away Jewish land to Arab scoundrels? Israel is the only country that can claim its statehood and ownership of the land.Jewish people have over 3,000 years of spiritual and historical connection with the land.
Israel is the only state which withdrew from the Sinai Peninsula after it was conquered during a defensive war.In exchange, Israel received the worthless piece of paper called the Peace Agreement with Egypt.And yet, Israel is the only country under international pressure to surrender her own land to the enemy, a recently forged people - called Palestinians, whose only goal, they are not even hiding it, is to destroy the Jewish state.There are three reasons that Israel is under such international onslaught - Traditional international anti-Semitism, a desire to sell out Israel in exchange for a steady supply of oil, and an appeasement of Islamic terrorists in order to defer attacks on the West!
Does it make sense?
What definitely takes place and make sense is that the world's economic and political powers ("Puppet Masters") apply pressure on Israel and use any means at their disposal, including manipulation of international law.An example of this is what was done after Israel won the War of Independence. Immediately, the Fourth Geneva Convention ruled out population transfer as a legitimate way of resolving conflicts - that is, when it suits their economic and political interests, with complete disregard to historical, spiritual and even legal rights of any people, not just Jews (remember ongoing dismantling of Yugoslavia and non-existence of Kurdistan - the homeland of 35 million Kurds, divided and occupied by five countries).The multitude of international organizations - including the UNRWA, IRC, Amnesty International etc - are at full disposal of the international Puppet Masters and only too eager to assist by generating and manipulating public opinion - creating the illusion of propriety.The bottom line: it is all about power, control and beyond doubt, as always, it is about money!

Netanyahu’s Speech to Include Jewish State Demand-Netanyahu will tell the UN that Abbas must recognize Israel as the Jewish national home. His office denies reports of a compromise.By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu First Publish: 9/19/2011, 10:21 AM
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will tell the United Nations that a Palestinian Authority state must recognize Israel as the Jewish national home, his spokesman Mark Regev told Arutz Sheva Monday. Regev denied reports of a compromise on this issue.The Prime Minister is not changing his stand, according to Regev, denying a report in Haaretz that Prime Minister Netanyahu told the Quartet he would compromise and allow the statement to speak of... two national states, without mentioning a Jewish state.The report did not cite any sources for the supposed compromise.Regev, asked if the term Jewish state would be dropped, said that Prime Minister Netanyahu will state in his speech that Israel is the Jewish national state.The issue has been the most prominent obstacle in PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’ insistence to bypass direct talks with Israel and to appeal directly to the United Nations for recognition, a direct violation of the Oslo Accords.Other obstacles include Israel’s refusal to institute another and more extensive building freeze that would stop all construction for Jews in Judea and Samaria and in areas of Jerusalem that Abbas considers as part of a future PA state.
PA Chooses Mother of Terrorists to Launch UN Campaign-The PA, pledged to halt terror, chooses the mother of terrorist murderers to hand over to the UN a letter asking for UN recognition.By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu First Publish: 9/19/2011, 9:39 AM
The Palestinian Authority, pledged to halt terror, chooses the mother of terrorist murderers to hand over to the United Nations a letter asking for unilateral recognition by the international community.In a widely publicized event in the Palestinian Authority, Latifa Abu Hmeid, mother of seven terrorists, including four who are serving 18 life sentences for murdering Israelis, led a ceremonial procession to Ramallah to hand over the letter. The revelation was reported and translated by Palestinian Media Watch.Hmeid’s sons were convicted of killing seven Israeli civilians and attempting to murder 12 others.One of her sons, Abd Al-Mun'im Abu Hmeid, was termed by the Palestinian Authority a martyr.Palestinian Media Watch reported last year that PA Minister of Prisoners' Affairs Issa Karake, had awarded her the Plaque of Resoluteness and Giving, inscribed with the names of her four sons who are imprisoned.Karake explained she was honored because it is she who gave birth to the fighters, and she deserves that we bow to her in salute and in honor.
The launching of the campaign by the terrorists’; mother was widely reported in Palestinian Authority media, which told readers and television viewers, We of the 'Palestine - the 194th state' national campaign [calling for] a Palestinian state with full sovereignty on the territory of Palestine, send a delegation from institutions, organizations, and popular factions.This delegation was headed by Um Nasser Abu Hmeid - this fighter woman, who is the mother of seven prisoners and the mother of the heroic Shahid (Martyr) from the [military wing of Hamas] Izz A-Din Al-Qassam Brigades. This campaign included a letter in which the people demand that the UN recognize Palestine as a state with full sovereignty, like the other countries.Her four sons serving life sentences were convicted of murder, attempted murder, trading weapons and accompanying a suicide bomber.
Shalom to PM: Don't Zigzag-Vice Prime Minister wishes Netanyahu success in UN, urges him to stand firm: Arabs will respect steadfastness.By Gil Ronen First Publish: 9/19/2011, 10:22 AM
Vice Prime Minister Silvan Shalom convened a meeting of supporters Sunday in which he wished Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu a successful journey to the United Nations, where the Palestinian Authority will ask for recognition as a state, and asked him not to zigzag.From here, we all send the Traveler's Prayer (Birkat haDerech) to Prime Minister Netanyahu, that he will stand firm for the path of the Likud and the principles we all believe in, the former Foreign Minister said.The Prime Minister should know that he represents each and every one of us and the overwhelming majority of the citizens of the State of Israel, which demands insistence on the maintaining the completeness of the land and the vital interests of the State of Israel.Only a government that is loyal to its path and determined to safeguard its values, a government that will not zigzag, is one that will receive respect and honor in the Arab world.Some Israeli politicians who were born in Arab countries believe they are better acquainted with the Arab mentality than Ashkenazi Jews whose fathers lived in Europe. Shalom is Tunisian-born.
Op-Ed: The Real Case Against PA Statehood UDI
Published: Monday, September 19, 2011 12:04 AM
There is a strong case to be made, that the notion of another Arab State on Israel’s doorstep has no moral or historic justification, and never was and never will be in Israel’s interest.Dovid Efune, Dir. Algemeiner Journal
Last Thursday I attended a luncheon, organized by The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations to honor departing Moroccan Ambassador H.E. Aziz Mekouar. The usual pleasantries were exchanged, and the Ambassador spoke of his country’s new constitution and warm relationship with domestic and International Jewish communities.When asked about the possibility of Morocco taking on a leadership role in opposing the upcoming United Nations vote for Palestinian Arab statehood, Mekouar declined to answer, referring instead to Morocco’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Mohammed Loulichki who was seated beside him.In the most diplomatic and soft spoken fashion Loulichki explained that the UN declaration isn’t really the biggest deal. He essentially argued that since almost everyone has accepted the inevitability of a Palestinian Arab State, and has accepted the Two State Solution to the Israeli- Arab conflict, a General Assembly vote would just go a step further in solidifying this already established acquiescence.If one had to look at it as an outsider, he certainly has a point. There are no legal ramifications to the General Assembly vote and the United States has made clear that it would veto any Security Council Resolution. In truth, for those that accept the Two State Solution as viable, the case against the UN bid is weak. In a UJA Federation e-mailer requesting the recipients to sign a petition against the vote the following case was made. We believe a unilateral declaration will not only undermine the peace process, but violates the existing and agreed upon international framework for Israeli-Palestinian negotiations. So on the Palestinian Arab side, the argument is, after years of living as refugees, and coming up against a brick wall with peace talks, we now have no choice but to unilaterally seek support for our State on the international stage.The Jewish counterargument is, although we agree with your end game, we don ’t agree with the way you are going about it. Of course there is more to it, but to a general public that doesn’t have time or headspace for the details, which is more compelling?
There is a strong case to be made, that the notion of another Arab State on Israel’s doorstep has no moral or historic justification, and never was and never will be in Israel’s interest. It will most certainly endanger more lives, bring about greater bloodshed and continue to propagate the Israeli-Arab conflict. The majority of Israelis are well aware of this and have come to understand it only through the blood and tears of the many slain. Others share the vision of the New Israel Fund associate director who said the disappearance of a Jewish state would not be the tragedy that Israelis fear since it would become more democratic. In actuality disappearance of a Jewish State, would be the tragedy that Israelis fear because it would almost certainly result in a wholesale bloodbath.It is clear that not only Palestinian Arabs, but many other Arabs in the region, are intent on removing Israel and all the Jews that go with it from their midst, as is continuously evidenced by their public statements, their history of actions and demands, as well as their constitutional mandates. Precisely for this reason Jews should adamantly oppose this UN declaration and all other efforts towards Palestinian Arab independence, recognition and global sympathy. The Jewish side of the UDI argument should be, we oppose this move and similar efforts now and ever, because it is a step towards our destruction and will lead to more bloodshed and pain. Now who has a case? The upcoming activity in the United Nations, as well as the instability of Israel’s agreement with Egypt facilitates a unique opportunity. As a turning point in the Palestinian Arab narrative, it provides a platform for a radical shift in Israeli policy as well. Israel can begin to convey that the unilateral bid and it’s implied demand, land without peace, has indicated to them once again that the pursuit of peace was never an interest of the Palestinian Arabs, and therefore, in order to ensure the safety and security of its citizens Israel no longer sees the Land for Peace formula as valid.Is peace ever a possibility? As Shmuel Katz writes in his 1973 classic Battleground, Peace will not come as long as the powers abet Arab visions of a paradise on earth, encourage them in their hopes of destroying and inheriting Israel, and equip them with the instruments for the undertaking.
Thousands to Protest Durban 3 Conference at UN-Thousands will protest outside the UN on behalf of Israeli as the Durban 3 conference inside the building condemns Israel. By David Lev & Hezki Ezra First Publish: 9/19/2011, 3:13 AM
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYJhX6S4R4E&feature=player_embedded
Along with the Palestinian Authority's request to the UN to recognize an Arab state in Judea and Samaria, this coming week will see another major anti-Israel event – the Durban 3 Conference, set to open on September 22, one day before the PA is scheduled to submit its request to the Security Council.Judging by the last two Durbans - officially known as the The Durban Declaration and Program of Action – the upcoming round will feature further virulent anti-Israel and anti-Semitic propaganda, likely to be exacerbated by the hoopla surrounding the PA's bid.In response, an organization called the Jerusalem Institute of Justice (JIJ) is organizing a protest outside the UN against the Conference, calling for nations to reject its anti-Israel agenda, and to walk out of the Conference as well – or at least to promise not to participate in any more Durbans.While the United States and 11 other countries are already boycotting Durban 3, it's a scandal that another 140 or so will be participating, says JIJ director and protest organizer, Jerusalem attorney Calev Myers. Our message will be a call to the UN to stop obsessively condemning the only democracy in the Middle East.The Durban Conference is the result of deliberations of the UN Human Rights Commission, which has dedicated over 40% of its resolutions to condemning Israel and has Israel automatically on every meeting's agenda – while ignoring true human rights crises, like the current violence by Syrian security officers who have killed thousands of Syrian citizens seeking regime change in the country.
Based on events in a number of countries, it looks like the Arab Spring has turned out to be a big failure, says Myers.But the UN has nothing to say about Syria, Egypt, Libya, or any other place where human rights are truly being violated – only about Israel.The fact that the Conference comes in advance of the PA's bid to the Security Council means that the protest will be even more important, says Myers. We first applied for a permit for this protest six months ago, long before the PA made its decision on its statehood bid, says Myers.The rhetoric at the Conference is likely to be even more anti-Israel than in the past, so a strong presence protesting the proceedings is especially important this year.Myers expects anywhere between 5,000 and 20,000 participants at the protest – most of them non-Jewish, thanks to the assistance of Eagles' Wings, a group of Evangelical Christians in the New York City area who are very pro-Israel.We've invited Jewish groups as well, of course, says Myers. But having a large group of Christians demonstrating for Israel on these days will make an important statement.And while many Eagles' Wings member churches have expressed a strong willingness to attend the protest, the final number we expect is up in the air, because it's going to be very hard to navigate around New York City this week,says Myers, adding that in any event, we intend to uncover the face of anti-Israel and anti-Semitic activity at the UN, and express pride in the fact that Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East.

Ahmadinejad to Dine with Columbia University Students-Columbia University students will dine with Ahmadinejad on Wednesday in what has become an annual debate on liberalism and terror.By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu First Publish: 9/19/2011, 11:13 AM
Columbia University students will dine with Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Wednesday in what has become an annual debate on liberalism and terror.University president Lee Bollinger made it clear he will not join the students, following an incorrect report in Fox News, which later issued a correction. Before Fox News corrected the report, the Israel Law Center (Shurat HaDin) sent a warning letter to the university, stating that Columbia's plan to host a banquet for visiting Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad runs afoul of U.S. anti-terror laws and will subject the university and its officials to both criminal prosecution and civil liability to victims of Iranian-sponsored terrorism in Israel or elsewhere.The university stated, At no time has there ever been any university event planned or considered involving the president of Iran, nor has there ever been any plan for a dinner involving the Iranian president and President Bollinger.Bollinger previously has termed Ahmadinejad a petty and cruel dictator.The university’s Spectator reported that 15 students of the Columbia International Relations Council and Association were invited to a dinner with Ahmadinejad Wednesday. Three days later, Fox News incorrectly reported that Bollinger would be joining the students at the dinner. Members emphasize that the dinner itself is also still tentative.
The University has issued a statement denying any involvement in the dinner, and adding that the news stories fundamentally misstate the University’s role in this unconfirmed possible encounter. Simply put, there never was one. In fact, at no time has there ever been any university event planned or considered involving the president of Iran, nor has there ever been any plan for a dinner involving the Iranian president and President Bollinger.Four years ago, Columbia’s World Leaders Forum invited Ahmadinejad to speak on campus. Bollinger refused to cancel the event but introduced the Iranian president as a petty and cruel dictator.This year’s visit will be protested by United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI), which has not given up on pressuring Columbia to cancel the dinner between Ahmadinejad and students.Mark Wallace, former American Ambassador to the United Nations and president of UANI, said that hosting Ahmadinejad is an insult to residents of New York and charged that an Iranian-affiliated organization funds research projects at Columbia as well as Rutgers universities.
