Afraid and helpless, Jordan's regime has turned to the oldest trick in the book: beating the Israeli ‎drum. The regime knows that if a new intifada breaks out in Israel, this ‎could buy it more time in power; the world would be too busy to let it go and Jordan's ‎public would be distracted by anti-Israel hatred once again

Muslim Terror Has Nothing to do With So-Called "Occupation"

"Jewish Settlerments in 'Westbank' are the reason for Arab aggression"

"Muslims become extremist terrorists because of anguish and hopelessness"

~~ NONSENSE ~~

Arabs Muslims have been killing Jews and Christians since the 7th century A.D. 

Muslims' reasons for this have been:

1) Jews and Christians are not Muslims

2) Jews and Christians build cities which Muslims covet -  Muslims do not build.

3) Jews and Christians have wives that Muslims covet

 That's it. 

With the rise of ISIS and mass migration of Muslims from their failed countries to Europe and America, Westerners are learning first-hand what Christians and Jews in Muslim lands have had to live with -  have had to survive with for the last 1400 years.

Perhaps now Westerners can finally perceive with whom they are forcing Israel to deal with. Perhaps Westerners can now understand that dealing with Muslims can only end up with the suicide of a nation. 

Mudar Zahran: We Have a Palestinian State in Jordan

 Palestinian-Jordanian opposition leader Mudar Zahran spoke to Clarion Project's Ryan Mauro about Palestinian opposition to Hamas.

Mudar Zahran

 Mauro: What’s a more long-term solution to the conflict? An independent Palestinian state? What would Palestinians accept as a solution?
Zahran: This is all a wakeup call that no other solutions exist besides a Jewish Israel and a Palestinian Jordan with the Jordan River in between.

The Jordanian citizenship law states that all non-Jewish Palestinians are natural-born Jordanians, so those Gazans are Jordanians. If the king was willing to let them in, they wouldn’t be under the bombings now.

We need a Palestinian state and we already have one in Jordan. The problem is that King Abdullah refuses to recognize that. I have been warning for years that unless the world tolerates a Palestinian state in Jordan, more trouble was ahead and I believe my words ring true now.

Mudar Zahran is a prominent Palestinian-Jordanian opposition leader that supports secular democracy and peace with Israel. In his new appearance on Hannity, Zahran spoke about Palestinians turning against Hamas (see below).
His parents were born in Jerusalem and moved to Jordan during the Hashemite occupation of the disputed territories west of the Jordan River (commonly referred to as the West Bank by Palestinians and Judea & Samaria by Israelis). His family is one of the most influential within Jordan’s Palestinian majority. 
An entire part of Amman is officially named “Zahran Area” in their honor. Before being forced into exile in the United Kingdom, Zahran was serving as the Economic Specialist and Assistant Policy Coordinator at the U.S. Embassy in Amman. He also served the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad. During his work with the U.S. Embassy, Zahran covered sensitive matters regarding Jordan, reporting to two U.S. Ambassadors. His reports were forwarded to the U.S. State Department, CIA, Department of Homeland Security, Treasury Department and, occasionally, to the FBI. He was a civil rights activist in Jordan and stood against the Jordanian government’s discriminatory policies towards Palestinians. He fled Jordan in 2010 and is a regular commentator for Middle Eastern media outlets. Zahran envisions a future Jordan that is an “armless welfare state that secures the rights of Jordanians from all heritages and origins and maintains the peace agreement with Israel.” He has previously written for the Clarion Prject on the Palestinian Authority. The following is Mudar Zahran’s interview with Clarion Project National Security Analyst Ryan Mauro:

U.S. Congressional Record 1922

House Joint Resolution 322

In 1922 England severed 78% of historical Palestine (133 A.D. - 1922) and used it to create an Arab country for the Arab population of Palestine. It was called Trans-Jordan. The remaining 22% was set aside as a country for the Jews (originally the entire area of Palestine was intended for the Jews but politics and alliances during and after WW1 changed the international agenda). The division of Palestine was in the spirit of the division of all the Middle East and North African land mass after WW1, a land mass held which was home to an abundance of peoples: Christians, Jews, Arabs, Muslims and more. Until WW1 there were no Arab countries in existence in this land mass. Borders were drawn and countries were formed.

Below is one of numerous documents which attests to the fact the today's international narrative on the conflict between Israel and the Arabs disregards historical truth. Note the red encircling and yellow emphasis.

Until and during the first half of the 20th century the use of the term "Palestinian" was used in reference to Jews, as had been the case since the year 133 A.D. The Arabs in Palestine, for the most part drifters, were referred to as Arabs. Documentation before and after the year 1900 attests to this fact.

In more recent times, prior to the establishment of the multi-billion dollar Arab propaganda machine in the early 1960's, Arabs in the Jordanian-held Judea and Samaria (misnamed the West Bank) as well as those in the Gaza Strip held by Egypt, were referred to as Arabs. They were referred to as Arabs because that is what they were, and are till this day.

In 1964 Yasser Arafat planted the seeds of the myth of a "Palestinian" nation. A "People" that had existed since time immemorial when if fact they had immigrated from all over the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe, mostly after the 1880's when Jews in Palestine began to develop advanced industry and medical facilities which offered high-paying wages and modern healthcare.

Today, by way of a brilliant comprehensive indoctrination system which has infiltrated into Western democratic governments and Western universities, this false Arab narrative has been instilled into the political arena of the world. Today even all logic boundaries have been crossed. There are now no boundaries to the fabrication and fraudulence permeated into world society. History is being re-written. As recently as 2013 PA President Mahmoud Abbas stated that "Jesus was a Palestinian messenger who would become a guiding light for millions."

During a 2012 interview with lecturer Dr. Omar Ja'ara of An-Najah University in Nablus, Moses suddenly become a "Muslim who led the Muslim children of Israel out of Egypt." Please take time to witness in this link how YouTube has become a major tool of Arab fraud profileration which is succeeding to embed rewritten history into the minds of unsuspecting young people today.

Inventing a History for a "Palestinian People" That Never Existed In History

by David Bukay

...rewriting the history of the Land of Israel by erasing Jewish history and replacing  

it with a fabricated Palestinian history is a central goal of the Palestinian Authority...

 The vast literature proving the historic Jewish connection to the Land of Israel has been extensively manipulated and distorted as part of the Palestinian politics of nationalism. Propaganda,

Arab Immigration to Palestine

 

In the late 1800’s and the first half of the 20th century many Arabs were attracted to Palestine due to the prosperity brought about by Jewish development of the land: draining swamps, irrigating wastelands, building industries and towns, farms and cities, medical, and learning facilities, for example: in 1882 forty Jewish families, settled in the scorched sands of what is today known as Rishon LeZion (now a thriving city of over 250,000). By 1889 more than 400 Arab families had settled around these few Jewish families, enjoying full time employment and higher wages (300% higher than any area of the Middle East at the time) and medical facilities never before seen --where once Arab women saw half of their children die before the age of five years, the new Jewish medical facilities offered something they had never known or dreamed of.

This repeated itself in many Jewish areas in Palestine both during the Ottoman rule and the later British mandate. It must be remembered that at that time there existed not one Arab country – there were no borders till after WWI. Droves of Arabs arrived from all over the Middle East, Persian Gulf, and Africa. Muslims of other ethnicities arrived from Africa and even Europe (to become part of the Arab group “described” today as “Palestinians”). 

Of course Arabs also came from eastern Palestine -  what later became Jordan when the British partitioned Palestine in the early 1920’s. They continued to this "in-migration" from eastern Palestine until the '48 war (those that went back to eastern Palestine during the war now refer to themselves as refugees and are so recognized the UN).

Arabs Have a Right to Live Anywhere - Jews Do Not!

How is it that Arabs have a right to live anywhere they please, as they, of course, have internationally recognized civil rights. Jews, on the otherhand, do not have these rights. Jew are being required by the international community to grant the Arabs a Jew-free (Judenrein sound familiar) parcel of land as a starting point for negotiations for a resolution to the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Arab's Own Words Debunk The "Palestinian" Fairy Tale

Arabs have stated. . .

Zuhair Muhsin, military commander of the PLO and member of the PLO Executive Council after Six Day War:

 “There are no differences between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. We are all part of one nation. It is only for political reasons that we carefully underline our Palestinian identity… yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity serves only tactical purposes. The founding of a Palestinian state is a new tool in the continuing battle against Israel.”

“It is common knowledge that Palestine is nothing but Southern Syria.”

San Remo's Mandate: Israel's 'Magna Carta' By Chris Mitchell

By Chris Mitchell

CBN News Middle East Bureau Chief

Monday, April 25, 2011

"The U.N. General Assembly exceeded its authority, exceeded its jurisdiction. It did not have the power to divide the country,"

JERUSALEM, Israel - This year marks the 91st anniversary of the resolution that transformed the Middle East and laid the groundwork for the formation of the modern state of Israel.

On April 25, 1920, delegations from the Allied nations that triumphed in World War I met in San Remo, Italy, to divide the Middle Eastern lands they had conquered.

That historical meeting transformed the Middle East because, for the first time in nearly 2,000 years, the world's nations called for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in the land that was then called Palestine.

That decision effectively answered a fundamental issue that still plagues the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks today: whether Israel is an occupying power or it has a rightful claim to the land.

Dividing an Empire

 

In San Remo - England, France, Italy, and Japan, with the United States as an observer, divided the Ottomam Empire empire into three mandates: Iraq, Syria and Palestine.

Until its defeat in World War 1, the 400-year-old empire had spread itself throughout the Middle East. Now, France would oversee Syria, while Iraq and Palestine fell under Great Britain.

The resolution also included the Balfour Declaration, written by England's Lord Balfour in 1917. The declaration called for "the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people." One British diplomat, Lord Curzon, called it Israel's "Magna Carta."

Arab's Lion-Share, Israel's Niche 

 

"Chaim Weizman said, at the time, you can say that the Israeli state was born on the 25th of April in San Remo because that was the significance of it," Sandell said.

Howard Grief said the resolution, which was adopted by the League of Nations, established several important precedents.

In his book, The Legal Foundation and Borders of Israel under International Law, Grief explains that the resolution gave the Jewish people exclusive legal and political rights in Palestine. It also gave the Arabs the same rights for the remainder of the Middle East.

"The Arabs got the lion's share….I mean they got Syria, which was subsequently divided between Syria and Lebanon," Grief said.

"They got all of Mesopotamia and all of Arabia. This is what Balfour himself said. 'Why are you complaining? You are getting all these lands and we're granting a niche - he called it a niche - to the Jewish people who were going to get Palestine," he said.

Immutable Law

 

Grief also explained that the 1920 San Remo resolution supersedes later U.N. resolutions.

"There is a doctrine in international law," Grief said. "Once you recognize a certain situation, the matter is executed. You can't change it."

"The U.N. General Assembly exceeded its authority, exceeded its jurisdiction. It did not have the power to divide the country," he said.

Settling Contested 'Settlements'

 

But what about all those contested Israeli "settlements" in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) that many people - including U.N. Secretary-general Ban Ki-moon - say are illegal?

"Settlements are covered in Article 6 of the mandate for Palestine," Eli Hertz, president of Myths and Facts, explained to conference participants.

"Again the legal international document of the mandate for Palestine and [it] clearly says that not only [do] the Jews have the right to settlement, but the world has the obligation to help them to settle," Hertz explained.

This legal right of the Jews to build in Judea and Samaria or in east Jerusalem neighborhoods is little understood in the world today.

Sandell said he hopes to remedy that problem.

"We feel that we have an historical duty to just bring the facts to the table," Sandell said. "Because we are here dealing with historical facts and this should be known and this should be taken into consideration in the public debate."
