A Leauki's Writings
Published on March 28, 2010 By Leauki In War on Terror

Firebombing Jewish-owned vehicles is small potatoes in comparison to developments at the center of mass of the Israeli Arab onslaught: state land. Over the past decade, Israeli Arabs have seized millions of dunams of state land.

The dimensions of this phenomenon were spelled out in last year’s State Comptroller’s Report. While the local and international Left pillories Israel when the state tries to demolish a handful of the thousands of illegal Arab buildings in Jerusalem, what goes unmentioned is that by the end of 2007 there were more than 100,000 illegally built structures in Israel. The overwhelming majority were constructed on state land seized by Arab land thieves in the Negev and the Galilee. By the end of 2009, the number of illegal buildings grew to an estimated 150,000. The scope of the theft is so vast that the Comptroller’s Report referred to it as a “national scourge.”

I'll take a shot into the dark here and say that Arabs building illegal settlements in Israel is not a breach of international law, does not warrant concern, and is not nearly as bad as Jews building homes in Jerusalem or the West-Bank. I'll guess further that if Israel should take the stolen land back, Jews will be accused of "stealing" "Arab" land again and the "international community" will condemn Israel. (And obviously the money the JNF originally paid for the land will never be paid back either when the "stolen" land is returned to its non-Jewish "owners".)

So we must demand that Israel stop building "settlements" whereas from the Arabs we demand neither a stop of their settlement activity in Israel nor even that they stop the violence or at least the vile anti-Jewish propaganda (like the sale of Hitler's Mein Kampf).

And none of this has anything to do with anti-Semitism.

Right?

It's really not funny. And I cannot understand why so many support the anti-Israel position.

And this is why I believe that Bibi absolutely must not give this up. This must stop. The world must finally learn that Jews too are human beings and have as many rights as Arabs if not more since Jews never tried to kill all the Arabs.

Note that this habit of fire-bombing things owned by Jews is widespread in the Arab world. It used to be widespread in Germany as well.

It is actually 2 different things for those who just hate israel.  One is building settlements in a disputed area - Jerusalem (the actual delineation is immaterial as the name is what counts), which is being framed as a violation of International laws (treaties).  The other is just a domestic law issue (internal), so the UN can easily ignore it.  After all, if they can pencil whip Genocide into oblivion, they can use any excuse to be a bunch of biggotted arse bungs.

I would want to see the treaty or international law that prohibits building houses in annexed territory.

Israel never signed a treaty that gave any part of Jerusalem away (although it kept offering such many times).

And if there is an international law then I wonder how often that oddity was brought up against the US (California, Texas, Hawaii) or Vietnam (South-Vietnam).

Of course one can claim that Hawaii and California (or Texas) are not "disputed territory", but then I propose they are not disputed because of how violently the US acted against those who disputed. (Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that the US are in the wrong; just saying that the Jerusalem issue is by far not unique, as you know.)

You forgot the double speak.  The 1995 agreement basically subdivided Jerusalem so that PA had the zoning/building rights to parts, and israel to other parts.  That of course (since the PA part is in Jerusalem) means that any Jerusalem buildings must be in the PA part. 

Your problem Leauki is that you do not think like an anti-semite. (In other words, the way a small minded bigot thinks).  clearly those who only look at the world through bigotted eyes (Namely American Liberal Democrats) see the violation clearly.

As for your comparison to US states, you are only being ahead of the curves (except Hawaii - that has already happened).  It is coming, of that I have no doubt.  Racists will not be satisfied until America is a checkerboard of protected enclaves and there is no mixing of race, religion or creed (I guess they will have to allow sex until they get the eugenics program going full swing).

The 1995 agreement specifically excluded Jerusalem.

As for the US, I think you are right. It's coming.

My error in reading.  I was reading about Jeruslem, and they then switched to the "disputed" territories.  I assumed Jerusalem was part of them:

Although certain Palestinian negotiators demanded a settlement freeze, the peace agreement ultimately reached by Israel and the Palestinians at Oslo, along with the Interim Agreement of 1995, allow settlement growth as well as the growth -- and creation -- of Palestinian communities in the disputed territories. The Palestinians acquired planning and zoning rights in Area A, while Israel retained the same rights in Area C where the settlements were located. Indeed, their legal status was to be addressed and decided only in the final status negotiations which, unfortunately, never took place. Until this point is reached, settlement growth remains within the legal scope of the Oslo Agreements.

Oslo doesn't say whether it is.

Israel annexed Jerusalem.

The UN didn't recognise the annexation because, apparently, annexations are "illegal" according to "international law", an interesting point that they never brought up when North-Vietnam annexed the south.

Israel also annexed the Golan Heights and the UN claims that they are party of Syria, presumably because France and England annexed them from Turkey (the Ottoman Empire) and then gave them to an Arab government. This annexations are illegal "law" doesn't apply to communists or even western imperialists.

I assume the "law" also didn't apply to Arab states since attempts to annex Israel are for some reason not counted as the reason there is an Arab-Israeli conflict.
