🇵🇸🇮🇱 The deal that would have normalized every Arab state was rejected without a single discussion. Journalist Aaron Maté says the Arab League offered Israel full normalization more than twenty years ago in exchange for ending the occupation of the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem and granting Palestinians...

🚨🇺🇸 INTERVIEW: “DENY PALESTINE, DESTABILIZE THE REGION. U.S-ISRAEL POLICY IS CREATING ENDLESS WAR" “I can’t be optimistic in the Middle East, because the fundamental source of Middle East strife is only getting worse, and that is denial of Palestinian rights and their minimal right to self-determination. That’s the source of all conflict. There’s been a long-standing international consensus going back many decades, accepted by all the major Palestinian factions, including Hamas, that Palestinians have the right to an independent state of their own… and Israel and the U.S. have moved alone in rejecting that. It was also a major driver of the conflict in Syria… It was through Syria that Iran was able to arm Hezbollah when they resisted Israel in the 2006 war, a way to strengthen Israel. That’s why I think we had that dirty war in Syria for so many years. As long as the new Syrian government doesn't stand up to Israel and continues to play the role of cutting off Hezbollah and Iran, the U.S. and Israel will be more than happy with it, even though Israel is still voicing some objections to the new government. What Israelis are trying to do is simply take out, as it did in Syria, another deterrent to its regional hegemony. So long as Palestinian’s self-determination is being denied, you’re going to have conflict in the region, you're going to have resistance, and as long as there is resistance, Israel is going to want to try and wipe it out. As long as you have Israel and the U.S. rejecting the whole global consensus that Palestinians have the right to self-determination, you're going to have conflict, which means resistance, which means you’re going to have continued Israeli aggression on those who resist.” Aaron Maté, Journalist & "Pushback" host for The Grayzone

There are a few things things that college kids—especially the ones chanting "free palestine" and "from the river to the sea"—should know about the history and founding of Israel. A Palestinian state was already created in 1921. There was a British mandate of Palestine, which was a foreign occupied colony of the British Empire, which comprised modern-day what's Israel and what's now Jordan. The Jews believed they were entitled, based on the Balfour Declaration of 1917, to the entire mandate of Palestine to be the future Jewish state. In 1921, it became clear that wasn't to be. The British understood they were gonna need oil from the Arab states in a future global conflict, and so they ceded 77% of that land to create a state for the Arab Muslim Palestinians. They weren't called Palestinians then, but they were the Arab Muslims who lived in the British colony of Palestine. That country became first known as Transjordan on the other side of the Jordan, then it became the Kingdom of Jordan, and ultimately today we know it as Jordan. So there is a Palestinian state full of Palestinian Muslim Arabs. There's a Palestinian queen in that state today. The prince and future king of that state is a Palestinian, and over 60% of the population are people who are Arab Muslims from the mandate of Palestine. So there is a Palestinian state. What they really want is a second Palestinian state, a 58th Muslim state, a 23rd Arab state in the world—but it's just too much to have one teeny-tiny Jewish state. The second and more important thing to understand is that Israel and the international community have already offered the Palestinians on six prior occasions, in 1936 in the Peel Commission, 1947 in the Partition Plan, 1967 at Khartoum after the Six-Day War in Sudan, 1993 at Oslo, 2000 at Camp David with Bill Clinton, and again 2008 with Ehud Olmert as the prime minister. On six different occasions, Israel, America, and the international community offered the Palestinians their own state, their own sovereign territory with their own government to to do as they please with, on the land that college kids now seem to believe they deserve a state on. And what college kids don't understand is the Palestinians rejected that state on six different occasions. On college campuses, when kids chant "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free," realize that is only the English jingle that was created in order to appeal to and deceive American college kids. In Arabic, the original phrase is: "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be Arabic." They want a full Palestinian Arab state from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea with no Jews on it. That's what they've done in every other Arab country in the world, where they've expelled and ethnically cleansed the 850,000 Jews who lived all over the Muslim world, starting in the middle of the 20th century. People who have lived there, by the way, for centuries, all ethnically cleansed. They want to do the same thing with the 10 million people who now live in Israel, and we're never gonna allow that to happen.
