Is the Holy Land ,..Holy? ( Locked) (594)

mikygr: sugamountin: Is the Holy Land,.Holy? This seems to be the true question. With the break down of peace talks due to Israels continued settlement construction in the occupied territories is seems Peace is the last thing Israel wants. Why is this?

The UNR181 in November 1947 was only one of some other UN-Resolution which logically had to lead to war. UK, that time the biggest colonial imperial, before giving the scepter to USA, but still remaining its closest consultant., has practiced the same tactic of “split and keep on governing” in many other cases like in India, Cyprus etc. Relaying on its veto right and close collaboration with / support from USA, it could pass just everything through the UN.

Already in 1937, the Jewish Agency was told by the Permanent Mandates Commission that a partition of the country, in respect of Palestinian population wishes, were unacceptabel. But during the 20th Zionist Congress, Ben Gurion said that “no Jew is entitled to give up the right of the Jewish nation to the land”.

The Arabs under the British Palestine protectorate did not deny accepting Jewish immigrants as a result of the holocaust. But they certainly denied the partition of the country, well known that the competition between the Arab nationalism and the Jewish nationalism (Zionism) would lead to a war when splitting the country.

Nevertheless, the UN resolution passed, which marked the start of the 1947–1948 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine. In May 1948 UK unilaterally withdrawed from their Mandat but refused to hand over any territory or authority to any successor. But the Jewish community placed an unilaterally Declaration of Indepence which was the beginning of the Arab-Israeli war in 1948. This unilateral Declaration has never been formally confirmed by UN, however, most states would stadelly recognize Israel as an independent state, except all Arab states.

It is not surprising that since than it was just a question of military dominance in the region, with many steps and happennings, ending to the 6-days “race” in 1967. But since 1954 Israel received extreme military and financial support from USA, developed even nuclear weapons, illegally and keeping it secret up to the last moment. Therefore, its also not surprising that Israel, having undouptfully the military overhand in the region, just ignore any “agreements”, “resolutions” etc. Its almost an entertainement or a joke to follow all happenings since than.

However, for my part of view there are just 4 things that I would like to discuss in here, but objective:

1. The of UNR181 was legally based on the competence of the United Nations or its members to enforce a solution against the wishes of the majority of the existing population. How that, if we adapt the opposite thinking in all democratic countries?
2. The unilaterally proclamation of UK to not overhand any rights to any sucessor is formally still valid, even after the “corrections” have been done in the UN. So where is the legacy?
3. It is known that the tired Lion UK has overgiven his cepter as a silent world leader to USA, but for long time remaining closest colaborator and consultant, even up today, partly. But USA is a prototype of democracy and freedom and I ask myself how it can carry such a havy burden, remaining coforme with it own believes and declarations.
4. Why did the USA president, who insist to keep the agreements in the region and will grant (at least) for a free Gaza, pulled his tail down, when the Israeli prime minister visited him urgently to calm down the negative worlds opinion about the happenings early this year? Must he wait until Novemer? And if so, how strong is the Zionist-lobby in the USA?
