The Risk of Blind Assistance
To: Honourable Shadow Cabinet Minister of Foreign Affairs
Stockwell Day
Prime Minister Paul Martin, in his speech yesterday at the UN,
promised Canada's financial aid package to, and diplomatic
support for the Palestinians, to aid in the expedition of the
formation of a Palestinian State, now that Israel has disengaged
from Gaza.
Although this gesture by the Canadian Government would, on the
surface, appear to be both generous and timely, I wonder if
there are factors that have not been considered, simply because
our understanding of the situation has been based upon trust in
conclusions and statements purported as factual by the mass
media?
Yes, the Palestinian Arab people are impoverished, and it would
be wonderful to know that Canadian aid is reaching them and
caring for their needs.
But, the premise of the formation of a Palestinian State carved
out of territory formerly referred to as "Palestine" under the
Ottoman Turks, and subsequently under the Syrian auspices, and
formerly administered through the British Mandate, is not
clearly understood by most folk in the West.
First of all, there never EVER has been a sovereign nation of
Palestine, let alone an Arab-only Palestine. Even the Palestine
under the Romans was considered to be Jewish! This Jewish
connection to the entire area referred to as The Holy Land of
Palestine, has been the reality right up until the formation of
the current nation of Israel, and in fact, the formation of a
homeland for the Jews, mandated and recognized by the Balfour
Declaration and the League of Nations, was in its entirety to be
given to the Jews. The United nations also officially recognized
the right for Israeli sovereignty over the entire geographical
(not nation) area formerly known as "Palestine."
Although this has never been legally rescinded or changed, the
UN obviously operates now under the facade that it was revamped.
Therefore, to state Israel "illegally occupied" Gaza since 1967,
or continues to "illegally occupy" any portion geographically
west of the Jordan River, and therefore to intimate such land
has been wrested from a national sovereign Arab Palestine, is
not only deceptive, but patently dangerous when it comes to
international relations. Applying the term "Palestinian" solely
to Arabs who have lived in, or have come to live in the area, is
only a recent development by the Arabs themselves since Israel
became a nation.
For a succinctly summarized explanation related to the
sovereignty over the lands in what was considered to be the Holy
Land, please go to http://www.mythsandfacts.com. and follow the
links. This information is not hidden in a box, but is readily
available from many reliable sources. This particular site
condenses much of the information, with documentation and direct
official quotes from the Balfour Declaration, the League of
Nations, the United Nations, and gives documentation regarding
the British Mandate.
I'm afraid the politicians of the Western nations are being led
around by the nose, and milked by the Arab world for massive
amounts of funds, all collected under the guise of aid, much of
which is being channeled into supporting terrorism. Massive
relief grants have been sent to alleviate the poverty of the
Palestinians, but still they live in squaller, and the
population is no better off. Before promising more funds, should
there not be an open accountability as to where such funding has
gone, instead of throwing more money at the problem?
I know our politicians are doing a wonderful job, spending hours
of time in drafting appropriate decisions. But, it is necessary
that those currently in positions of power be able to trust
those who have been in office before them, or who currently sit
in institutions such as the UN. Because, even within the UN,
recent corruption has been brought to light. The latest example
being the Oil for Food Program debacle. Therefore, it would do
well for everyone to take time out to do some homework relative
to the entire Middle East scenario before continuing to jump on
the international band-wagon of popular political trends,
decisions, declarations and funding.
There are a number of questions which must be clarified:
Who are the Palestinians? Is the commonly understood equation
"Palestinians" are Arab citizens of a former nation called
"Palestine," which was wrested from their jurisdiction by the
presence and aggression of Britain, then Israel, actually true?
And, is the conclusion being fed to us nightly by our media
that the Withdrawal of Israel from Gaza has "returned" rightful
ownership of Gaza to these "Palestinians" true?
Will the push by the international community to form a
sovereign Arab nation called Palestine, to co-exist alongside
Israel in peace and security, carved out of the so-called
"illegally occupied territories" literally lead to peace in the
Middle East? Who is able to give us such a guarantee?
How did the designation "illegally occupied territories" come
to be acceptable terminology? What is so "illegal" about
Israel's claim to the land, and who exactly has determined their
presence is "illegal?"
What geographical area was supposed to be given to the Jews for
a homeland, and how was this mandated, and why is everyone now
ignoring the internationally agreed upon declaration, which has
never formally been reversed?
Is it not possible that the rush to form a Palestinians State
for the so-called Palestinians is based upon misunderstandings
and outright lies? Therefore, would not such a State be patently
"illegal?"
Do the so-called Palestinians really desire a State of their
own to co-exist along-side Israel, or do they have a more
aggressive agenda? What is their real goal? Has anyone taken
note of their rendition of a Middle East map? They do not show,
or even name, Israel! The entire area is labeled "Palestine!"
I am merely requesting, for the sake of Canada's reputation,
that you check the historical record.
Please also take note of what the Arab Palestinian leadership,
along with the terrorist organizations, are stating. Read the
translations from the Arab media. If we are a nation actively
waging the War on Terror along with the United States, Britain,
and others, then we had best understand our enemy! What everyone
fails to comprehend, or refuses to believe, is that the
Palestinians are actively on the front lines to deceive the
West! And, they are doing a masterful job, because we are
letting them get away with it!
Would a Palestinian State be a nation of peace? If we are to
take what they themselves are saying seriously within their own
ranks, not a chance! So, why is Canada assisting in the effort
toward the formation of what will likely become another
terrorist State? Why, since Hamas is a terrorist organization,
is PA Chairman Mamoud Abbas taking steps to include Hamas in the
up-coming Palestinian elections, thus making room for them in
his administration, while hoodwinking the West, declaring his
opposition to their deadly shenanigans?
Do our Canadian politicians understand the dangerous dichotomy,
and that we are being played for fools?
Is it not time our elected Government representatives took steps
to honestly seek for the balanced truth, and then decisively
stop the bed-time stories being fed by our media to the Canadian
population? After-all, our hard-earned tax dollars are being
played-with here!!
Canadians are entitled to know the truth.
