Palestine: 124 Nations display their Jew-hating credentials

124 of the 193 member nations of the United Nations have publicly recorded their hatred of Jews – banding together to demand:

·       An Israeli withdrawal from every square metre of Judea and Samaria (West Bank) and East Jerusalem (the Territories) and

·       The evacuation of all 700,000 Jews living in the Territories – the Jewish people’s biblical, ancient and internationally-sanctioned homeland.

They have sought to justify their Jew-hating demands by sheltering behind an advisory non-binding opinion of the International Court of Justice delivered on 19 July 2024 - which made not one mention of the rights vested in the Jewish people to reconstitute the Jewish National Home in the Territories under articles 6 and 25 of the 1922 League of Nations Mandate for Palestine – preserved by Article 80 of the United Nations own Charter.

These 124 nations had the opportunity to follow the other 69 member nations of the United Nations General Assembly:

·       Abstain

·       Vote Against

·       Not turn up to the meeting held on 18 September

They refused and are forever etched as Jew-haters on this shameful rollcall:

These Jew-hating nations include:

• Belgium

• China

• Egypt

• Finland

• France

• Greece

• Ireland

• Japan

• Jordan

• Lebanon

• Mexico

• Morocco

• New Zealand

• Norway

• Philippines

• Portugal

• Russia

• Saudi Arabia

• Singapore

• Spain

• Thailand

• Viet Nam

One wonders how future mass demonstrations in Paris, Wellington, Bangkok and Brussels by protesters targeting Israel, Jews, Jewish and non-Jewish properties will now be handled by their heavily-conflicted anti-Jewish governments, military and police forces.

On 5 June 2013, I detailed how Israel came into possession of the Territories after a 3,000-year absence following the Six-Day War in June 1967:

“This territory had not one Jew or Jewish settlement located within it between 1948 and 1967.

Transjordan had occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem whilst Egypt had occupied Gaza after their invasion of Palestine along with five other Arab armies in May 1948.

Jews then living there had been driven out whilst Jews generally were denied their legal entitlement to “close settlement” on that land including State lands and waste lands not required for public purposes – as prescribed by Article 6 of the Mandate for Palestine and Article 80 of the UN Charter.

Nineteen years was surely long enough for a Palestinian Arab state to have been created in this Jew-free territory - the identical area of land that the United Nations now considers to again be made Jew-free to end the Arab-Jewish conflict.

After all – with all the Jews gone and their legal right to live there eliminated by the power of the gun – it would have been very easy to declare a Palestinian Arab State there  – seek membership in the UN and its agencies – and live happily ever after in peace with the Jewish state.

Yet it didn’t happen.

Instead, the Arab residents of the West Bank and East Jerusalem voluntarily chose to unify these territories in 1950 with Transjordan to form a new territorial entity renamed Jordan.

In 1964 demands by the Palestinian Arabs to rid former Palestine of any Jewish presence became entrenched in the Charter of the PLO.

Article 24 of the Charter clarified that the unification of the West Bank with Transjordan was nevertheless to remain unchanged:

”This Organization ( PLO) does not exercise any territorial sovereignty over the West Bank in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, on the Gaza Strip or in the Himmah Area.”

What is now deemed so essential for peace in 2013 – the so-called “two-state solution” was never even contemplated in 1964 – when it could have been created with the stroke of an Arab League pen within the next three years.

Instead, the Arab states placed their support behind the newly constituted PLO and its proclaimed aim to wipe Israel off the map.

Promises of yet another 1948-style Arab invasion to wipe out the Jewish State were threatened – at a time when Jews and Jewish settlement in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza were not an “obstacle to peace” – since no Jews lived there.

Cairo Radio’s Voice of the Arabs proclaimed on 18 May 1967:

“The Zionist barrack in Palestine is about to collapse and be destroyed. Every one of the hundred million Arabs has been living for the past nineteen years on one hope – to live to see the day Israel is liquidated…There is no life, no peace nor hope for the gangs of Zionism to remain in the occupied land ….The sole method we shall apply against Israel is a total war which will result in the extermination of Zionist existence.”

On 20 May 1967, Syrian Defence Minister (later President) Hafez Assad stated:

“Our forces are now entirely ready not only to repulse any aggression, but to initiate the act ourselves, and to explode the Zionist presence in the Arab homeland of Palestine. The Syrian army, with its finger on the trigger, is united. I believe that the time has come to begin a battle of annihilation.”

Assad was backed up by Syrian President Dr Nureddin al-Attasi on 22 May 1967 – when he told his assembled troops:

“We want a full scale, popular war of liberation… to destroy the Zionist enemy”

Not to be outdone – Egypt’s President Nasser told the General Council of the Confederation of Arab Trade Unions on 26 May 1967:

“Taking over Sharm el Sheikh meant confrontation with Israel (and) also meant that we were ready to enter a general war with Israel. The battle will be a general one and our basic objective will be to destroy Israel”

On 30 May 1967 Nasser declared:

“The armies of Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon are poised on the borders of Israel … to face the challenge, while standing behind us are the armies of Iraq, Algeria, Kuwait, Sudan and the whole Arab nation. This act will astound the world. Today they will know that the Arabs are arranged for battle, the critical hour has arrived. We have reached the stage of serious action and not of more declarations.”

Nasser’s bellicosity was matched by then-Iraqi President Abdul Salam Arif on 31 May 1948:

“The existence of Israel is an error which must be rectified. This is our opportunity to wipe out the ignominy which has been with us since 1948. Our goal is clear – to wipe Israel off the map”

PLO head – Ahmed Shukairy confidently predicted the fate awaiting Jews on 1 June 1967:

“Those who survive will remain in Palestine. I estimate that none of them will survive.”

The rest is history – yet the world currently suffers from a memory deficit in failing to understand that what was possible between 1948 and 1967 cannot be achieved in 2013.

Lest we forget…”

... Nor can it be achieved in 2024.

There is an alternative to the Territories being made Jew-free: The Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine solution (HKOPS) first published in Saudi Arabia on 8 June 2022 - calling for the Territories to be divided between Israel and Jordan - which will involve no one - Jew or Arab – having to leave his home.

The UN General Assembly has never mentioned or discussed HKOPS - preferring to continue stoking the long-running conflict instead of trying to end it.

HKOPS substantially advances the Jordan is Palestine solution propagated by myself from 1980 until superseded by the failed 1993 Oslo Accords.

124 Jew-hating nations will not succeed in seeing 700,000 Jews living in the Territories being uprooted and the Territories made Jew-free again.
