Palestinian Hypocrisy

Why is it there is more pressure put on Israel to give up land which is clearly essential to their national security while there is almost no pressure put on Zuhri to simply renounce his position regarding the right of Israel to exist? All that is being asked of him is that he changes his political position. He’s not being asked to give them aid, or to give up any of their land to the Jews as a show of good faith. Basically nothing is being asked of them except to say that they agree that Israel has a right to exist, but even this they won’t do. This alone ought to speak volumes to the world, but still the world blames the Jews and feel that they are the ones who are the ones who won’t stand for what is right.

It mystifies me why the rest of the world cannot see the absurdity of this position. They cannot see how crazy it is for the Jews to give up land which really does rightfully belong to them for the sake of a supposed peace with a group of people who will not even renounce their view that these people have no right to a nation of their own at all. They demand from a nation, which has been a nation in that same place back as far as 4000 years ago, while the Palestinians did not even exist as a people even 100 years ago. Yet it is the Palestinians that feel they have the right to be there as well as the right to get rid of the Jews from the face of the earth and certainly from the Middle East.

Zuhri’s position is clearly untenable yet the world expects every to bow to him and give him what he wants, but they place not even the demand to recognize that Israel has a right to exist. The continuous denial on the part of the world to recognize the Palestinians and Hamas for what they are is mystifying. People treat the Palestinians the way they do the terrorists. Everyone is afraid to call them what they are to speak openly about what their goals are. They have not one single time actually given even one inch toward peace. They have continual demands, but offer nothing in trade and when they do offer it they don’t keep their deal even when it comes to something as simple as a cease fire. They have chosen to ally themselves with terrorist groups such as Hamas and the PLO at every chance. They don’t renounce them. They chose them chose them to represent them and to bargain for them.

Enough of making excuses they do this because they’re afraid of the “minority” of Muslims that are extremists. Several opportunities have come up for them to pick someone else to represent them, but they always all in with the terrorists. For some reason we feel the continual need to add the obvious statement that no all Palestinians are terrorists, or not all Muslims are extremists, but yet no one can point to any that are truly reasonable. By any I don’t mean a single one… I mean one of the mass of moderates the politically correct claims exist. Yet they are lucky if they can find even a handful of individuals that are actually moderate.

It is time to call upon the Palestinians and those who support them to show some concrete desire for peace. If they will not show even in words that they are willing to have peace and pay at least some price for that peace; if they are not willing to offer anything except to say they want peace then it is time for us to withdraw any support of their position. If they feel we are no longer supporting them morally I cannot help but believe they will begin to rethink their position. At this point they have received unwavering support from the whole world. Everyone has continually taken their side against the Jews. They have been supported financially more per capita than any other nation on earth and yet we still apply none of the pressure we could.

The Palestinians do not change their positions because as long as they have support they know they don't need to. We have yet to see any nation withdraw or even give the appearance of withdrawing their support from the Palestinians in spite of all they have done. yet we have threatened to do that to Israel over and over and many nations have withdrawn their support.

Why are nations so afraid to try something new to pressure the Palestinians to come to the bargaining table in earnest? Why is it that the Palestinians are never pressured for more concessions. They are always viewed as being attacked by Israel even though this has never happened except when Israel has been attacked first. There is not one instance of preemptive and uncalled for attacks on Palestinians and most especially eeven when they have been attacked in retaliation the targets are never civilians. Does this mean civilians are never injured? Certainly not. It would be impossible not have injure at least a few when the Muslims use them as shields.

It is time for the nations to call upon the Palestinians to do their part. They are always viewed as those who are continually attacked but they are actually the ones that are doing the attacking and doing it almost incessantly.
